When you begin opening to spirituality, one question almost always arises: “Is what I’m feeling coming from real guidance… or is it just my imagination running wild?”
If you’re drawn to Akashic readings, noticing your intuition becoming sharper, or wondering how to know whether you’re psychic, this confusion is not only normal — it’s foundational.
I went through it myself when I chose to become a psychic.
At the beginning, every intuitive message was followed by doubt:“This feels too strong to be real — I must be making it up.”That inner voice still shows up sometimes. But with time and consistent Akashic practice, I learned to recognize the difference between mental projections and true intuitive guidance.
In this article, you’ll discover:

What Is Intuition (and How It Differs From the Mind and Imagination)
The Mind: The Inner Analyst and Judge
The mind is the voice that analyzes, judges, and constantly compares. It’s the one that says:“You should do this because logically…” or “Be careful — if you do that, here’s what could go wrong.”
Characteristics of the mind:
Analyzes and dissects every situation
Creates worst-case scenarios
Compares with the past or projects into the future
Judges (“this is good” or “this is bad”)
Generates anxiety or stress
Shows up as a fast, continuous stream of thoughts
The mind is useful for organizing daily life, paying bills, and planning your day. But it is not your spiritual guidance.
Imagination: The Creative Bridge
Imagination is your ability to create, visualize, and dream. Contrary to what many believe, imagination is not the enemy of psychic development. On the contrary, it can act as a bridge toward intuitive guidance.
What imagination does:
Creates images, stories, and possibilities
Explores different scenarios
Can amplify or color intuitive messages
Can also show you what you want to see
Imagination becomes problematic when it projects desires or fears instead of receiving accurate information.
Intuition: Knowing That Arrives
Intuition is a form of knowing that arrives effortlessly, often accompanied by a quiet sense of inner rightness. It doesn’t shout or force itself. It shows up as a gentle certainty.
Signs of true intuition:
Arrives unexpectedly, without being sought
Feels emotionally neutral (no dramatization)
Simple and direct clarity
Physical sensation of openness (heart, solar plexus)
Calm certainty that persists over time
Doesn’t change its message every five minutes
When you practice Akashic readings, you are learning to access this deeper intuition — guidance that comes from your soul and higher dimensions of awareness.
How Guidance From Akashic Readings Shows Up
Akashic readings connect you to the Akashic Records — an energetic library containing the history of your soul across all lifetimes. When information comes from this sacred space, it carries very specific qualities.
1. Compassionate Emotional Neutrality
True guidance never judges you. It may reveal aspects of yourself you hadn’t seen before, but always with gentleness and without guilt.
Simple test:If what you receive is charged with shame, intense fear, or harsh judgment, it’s likely your mind speaking. Guidance from the Akashic Records is neutral, objective, and benevolent.
2. Unexpected Clarity (the spiritual “Oh… really?” moment)
Messages from intuitive guidance often arrive in surprising ways. You may be looking for an answer in one direction, and the information comes from a completely different angle.
It’s as if the universe is saying:“You’re not looking in the right place — come see this instead.”
Real-life example: One of my clients wanted to know whether she should leave her job. Akashic guidance showed her that she first needed to heal her relationship with her father. At first glance, there seemed to be no connection. But as we explored further, she realized her work dynamics were replaying the same unresolved paternal pattern.
3. A Sense of Truth in the Body
Your body knows. It is your first truth detector.
Physical sensations of true guidance:
Expansion in the heart
Naturally deeper breathing
A full-body “yes”
Gentle warmth in the solar plexus
Light chills or goosebumps
Release of tension
Even if the mind tries to doubt afterward, this initial bodily knowing remains anchored.
4. Gentle Repetition (Not Obsession)
Important messages return — but not obsessively. Your spiritual guidance gently reminds you of the same information in different forms until you’re ready to receive it.
Key distinction:
Guidance: returns calmly through different forms (synchronicities, symbols, messages)
Mind: loops anxiously using the same words over and over
5. Useful Information (Not Spectacular)
Guidance from Akashic readings is often simple, practical, and applicable. It doesn’t try to impress you with dramatic predictions or cryptic messages.
It says:“Here’s what you need to understand right now. Here’s the next step.”
Why the Mind Sometimes Takes Over When You Want to Become Psychic
Ah, this question… I’ve lived it, my clients have lived it, and you’re probably living it too. It’s frustrating, isn’t it? You want clear messages so badly that the mind becomes agitated and muddies everything.
Fear of Being Wrong (Reason #1)
This is by far the most common reason. When you begin developing psychic abilities, you’re afraid of being wrong, afraid of making things up, afraid it’s “just imagination.”
So the mind tries to verify every piece of information — and in doing so, it takes over completely.
My experience:In the beginning, every intuitive message was followed by the thought:“Is this really guidance, or am I inventing it?”That question alone created a barrier to fluid channeling.
The Ego That Wants Control
The ego loves control. It wants to understand, anticipate, predict, and know.
Intuitive guidance works differently. It asks you to:
Let go
Trust
Receive without immediately analyzing
Accept not knowing everything
For the ego, this is terrifying. It would rather invent a reassuring answer than tolerate uncertainty.
Strong Expectations (The Beginner’s Trap)
Sometimes we approach Akashic readings or psychic development with very specific expectations. We want to hear a particular answer. We hope our guides will say something spectacular.
And when expectations are present, the mind may unconsciously create what it wants to hear.
What happens:
You ask: “Will I meet love?”
You hope: “Yes — in three months, tall, dark, green eyes”
Your mind manufactures exactly that
Your true guidance may be saying: “Learn to love yourself first.”
Lack of Structure and Method
Without a clear method for learning how to channel, you’re navigating blindly. You don’t know:
Where to start
How to ground before an Akashic reading
How to create a safe space for receiving
How to validate the accuracy of information
So the mind fills the gap with its own constructions.
This is exactly why I created my channeling course — because when learning happens in a supportive framework with concrete tools and gentle progression, everything becomes easier.
How to Develop Discernment Between the Mind and Guidance
Learning to distinguish the mind from guidance is a skill. It’s not a gift reserved for a few. It’s something you can cultivate step by step, through practice — and above all, kindness toward yourself.
Practice 1: Grounding Before Any Connection
Before any attempt at channeling or Akashic reading, take time to ground.
Simple grounding exercise (3 minutes):
Sit comfortably with your feet on the floor
Take three deep breaths
Visualize roots extending from your feet into the earth
Feel your body becoming heavy, stable, present
Silently say: “I am here. I am present. I am grounded.”
The mind becomes restless when you’re ungrounded. Grounding allows it to settle.
Practice 2: Create a Connection Ritual
Whether it’s lighting a candle, holding a crystal, stating an intention, or sitting quietly for a few minutes, create a ritual that signals to your entire being:“I am opening a sacred space to receive.”
Simple ritual example:
Light a candle
Place a hand on your heart
Say: “I open myself to my highest guidance, with clarity and benevolence.”
Take three deep breaths
This ritual becomes a bridge between daily life and spiritual guidance.
Practice 3: Observe Your Expectations Before Asking
Before asking a question or opening the Akashic Records, observe your expectations.
Questions to ask yourself:
What do I want to hear?
Which answer would please me?
What am I afraid of hearing?
Once aware, you can ask:“Show me the truth, even if it’s different from what I expect.”
Practice 4: Write Everything Down Without Judging (The Golden Rule)
When you receive information, write it down or record it without analyzing it immediately.
Why this is crucial:
The mind loves to analyze in real time
Analysis blocks the flow of guidance
Writing without judgment allows information to keep coming
You can analyze later. During the connection, you are simply a channel.
Practice 5: Check With the Body (Your Best Detector)
Return to bodily sensation. When you reread or replay what you received, how does your body respond?
Simple body test:
Read the message
Observe: does your body open or contract?
Openness = likely true
Contraction = possibly mental
This embodied wisdom is often more reliable than mental analysis.
Practice 6: Compare Energetic Signatures
With practice, you’ll recognize the energetic signature of guidance versus the mind.
Guidance signature:
Calm, peaceful
Clear and direct
Sense of truth
Emotionally neutral
Mind signature:
Agitated, talkative
Complex, tangled
Sense of doubt
Emotionally charged
The more you practice, the clearer this distinction becomes.
Akashic Readings: A School of Accuracy and Discernment
Akashic readings are, for me, one of the most beautiful schools of spiritual discernment.
Why the Akashic Records Refine Your Intuition
When you learn to read your own Akashic Records, you begin recognizing the energetic signature of true guidance. You feel the difference between genuine connection and moments when the mind takes over.
What Akashic readings develop:
Ability to enter altered states of consciousness
Discernment between accurate information and mental projection
Trust in inner guidance
Patience and self-kindness
Neutrality in receiving messages
It’s daily training in accuracy.
How to Begin Safely With the Akashic Records
If you’re curious about exploring this practice, here are my recommendations:
Start with proper training — grounding, energetic protection, and safe connection are essential. My book The Akashic Records is a solid foundation.
Practice on yourself first — safer, simpler, and builds internal reference.
Keep a reading journal — patterns emerge over time.
Validate over time — accuracy confirms itself through lived experience.
Seek support — structure and feedback accelerate learning.
Experiencing a Professional Akashic Reading
Receiving a professional reading often helps you understand the quality of connection from the inside. It gives your system a reference point your own guidance can later replicate.
If you feel the call, I offer personalized Akashic Readings — it’s always an honor to accompany someone in this exploration.

What to Remember About Intuition and Akashic Readings
The Essentials in 5 Key Points:
The mind analyzes and judges; intuition receives with neutrality — Learn to recognize the energetic signature of each.
True guidance shows up with clarity, gentleness, and embodied accuracy — Your body is your best truth detector.
Fear of being wrong is normal and can be soothed — It’s part of the path, not an obstacle you must eliminate.
Akashic readings are a school of discernment — They train you in accuracy, neutrality, and trust.
Learning to channel within a safe framework changes everything — A structured program supports your learning and accelerates your progress.
Frequently Asked Questions About Intuition & Psychic Abilities
How do I know if I’m psychic?
Everyone has intuitive ability. Some people are born with heightened sensitivity, but psychic ability can also be developed through practice.
Signs you may be psychic:
You feel other people’s emotions as if they were your own
You pick up information about people without them telling you
You have precognitive dreams that come true
You sense the energy of places or objects
You get strong intuitive hits that are regularly confirmed
But even without these signs, you can develop this ability. Psychic development is not reserved for a spiritual elite.
Is it dangerous to do Akashic readings on your own?
With the right grounding practices and energetic protection, no. The key is learning in a supportive framework that teaches you these foundations.
What makes a practice safe:
Solid grounding before each reading
Clear energetic protection
A pure, benevolent intention
Knowing your limits
Returning to everyday reality after the practice
That’s why I always recommend learning the basics before doing deeper Akashic readings on your own.
How long does it take to tell the difference between the mind and intuition?
It’s very personal. Some people develop this discernment in a few weeks; others need several months.
What speeds up the process:
A daily practice, even if brief
A journal where you record your intuitive impressions
A structured training program
Feedback from a mentor or a group
Patience and kindness toward yourself
What matters isn’t speed — it’s consistency and your ability to stay gentle with yourself as you learn.
Can you be wrong even with experience in Akashic readings?
Yes — and that’s completely normal. Even with years of practice, the mind can subtly slip into a reading.
The difference with experience:
You notice more quickly when you’re drifting
You know how to return to center faster
You judge yourself less in those moments
You’ve developed more self-compassion
Perfection isn’t the goal. Progressive accuracy is. Humility, always.
What’s the difference between channeling and Akashic reading?
Channeling is the general process of receiving messages from spiritual dimensions (guides, the soul, the universe). Akashic readings are a specific form of channeling.
Akashic reading:
Connects specifically to the Akashic Records
Accesses soul information (past lives, soul contracts, potentials)
Often uses a specific opening prayer or protocol
Channeling (broad sense):
Can connect to different sources (guides, angels, the soul, the universe)
Receives messages, insights, visions
Can be more free-form
Both require discernment and practice.
How can you recognize a false spiritual message?
A false message (coming from the mind or ego) often has these traits.
Warning signs:
It flatters your ego excessively
It creates fear or urgency
It tells you you’re special and superior to others
It criticizes or judges harshly
It constantly changes its version
It pushes you to act impulsively
It creates anxiety rather than peace
A true spiritual message is neutral, benevolent, patient, and respectful of your free will.
Do you need to be in a particular state to receive accurate guidance?
Yes. A calm, receptive inner state helps a lot.
The ideal state for receiving guidance:
Mental calm (no constant inner chatter)
Bodily grounding (presence in your body)
An open heart (benevolent receptivity)
Emotional neutrality (no strong expectations)
Trust (in yourself and your guidance)
This is exactly the state you learn to cultivate through meditation, grounding, and connection rituals.
To Go Deeper in Your Spiritual Practice
Learning to tell the difference between the mind and guidance is often the moment when your psychic abilities become truly fluid and peaceful.
It’s as if a veil lifts — and you can finally hear that gentle voice that has always been there, that knows you better than anyone, and that simply wants to guide you.
