Hi there. I'm new to this forum and relatively new to exploring my skills.

I've long thought that I had some psychic ability but haven't explored it until recently. I had a reading done by a wonderful psychic and she told me I was clairsentient and highly intuitive. Which makes sense because I have always had feelings about things. So I've been exploring these areas. I've been doing a lot of meditation, muscle testing and recently, dowsing. I've learned a lot and now some other skills seem to be appearing - namely clairaudience. But I guess I'm not exactly sure that it's clairaudience and not wishful thinking.

This weekend, I began using a chart with my pendulum instead of strictly yes or no questions. When I would ask a question, I would clearly hear a word in my head and then, of course, the pendulum would spell out that word. So how do I know that the word was the clear answer and not the word I wanted to hear? I tried writing down questions, folding them up and holding them in my hand and then using the chart. But my guide didn't seem to like that method. I would write down the answer on the folded paper and then read them later. It would give me a word response (which would fit as the answer for another question) but the question on that piece of paper was a yes/no question. So it seemed to give me all of the answers, but not for the correct questions.

I guess I still struggle with doubts of my abilities. For example, there is someone I care about deeply who I am not with at the moment, and there have been many times that I have thought I have felt him thinking of me. I truth test either with muscle testing or my pendulum and get a yes, but how do I know for sure? I definitely know that my frame of my mind and/or vibrational level has a big impact on the accuracy I get and I've been testing it out on small, insignificant things like will I see a specific kind of car that day, or hear a specific song. My accuracy on those things is pretty high.

Sorry for the long rambling post. I guess my main question is, is it possible for new skills to pop up once you've started exploring your abilities? And from what I posted, does it sound like I am clairaudient? I would imagine that having faith in and trusting my abilities will go a long way in further developing them. I guess it's just a little hard to know what's real and what's not.

Looking forward to any guidance.
