How can I tell if I am psychic? Sometimes I feel like I have some sort of abilities, but how can I be sure what I feel isn't something else?

Let me explain. First off, I had a near death experience almost 4 years ago and ever since then..I've went through changes spiritualy. I went from rejecting God to aknowledging that there is a supreme being.( This took about 3 and a half years) After this near death experience my dreams have been different..like sticking out to the point where I can actually remember them. I can pick up on bad vibes of other people, or situations that im invloved with. Sometimes I even have visions or Deja Vu type experiences that I can remember for months. I feel like I have gained much wisdom after the past 4 years and I want to use it to my advantage, but most of all to help others.

So how can I tell if what I feel is psychic..or spiritual? I need guidance terribly.

How about both?  When we have a daunting experience, we tend to turn away from God instead of turning to God for our help and comfort.  It is human nature.  Thankfully you have realized you are better off with a higher power, than going it alone.

For beginner exercises and information, read the Mediumship Development at the Mystic Academy.  Then form and post any questions as you practice (meditation is the tool) to attune with spirit.
