Unlocking Your Psychic Abilities with Teacher Marianne DeMarco
Have you ever felt an unexplained pull toward something, sensed an unseen presence, or had a gut feeling that later proved true? According to internationally recognized psychic medium and spiritual teacher Marianne DeMarco, we all have the ability to tap into divine guidance—we just need to know how. In her conversation with Heal Squad with Maria Menounos, DeMarco shares powerful techniques to awaken our intuitive abilities, set energetic boundaries, and strengthen our connection with the spirit world.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you have psychic abilities—or how to strengthen them—this episode is a must-listen.
How to Awaken Your Divine Guidance
Marianne DeMarco’s book, Medium Mentor: 10 Powerful Techniques to Awaken Divine Guidance for Yourself and Others, serves as a roadmap for those looking to enhance their intuition. She emphasizes that everyone has intuitive abilities, but self-doubt often gets in the way.
“We hear ourselves—that’s our intuition speaking,” DeMarco says. “But then our loud mind gets in the way and doubts us.”
To combat this, DeMarco encourages people to practice trusting their instincts. One effective exercise is writing down your gut feelings and reviewing them later to see how often they were correct. The more validation you receive, the more confidence you’ll gain in your abilities.
Setting Energetic Boundaries
One of the most critical lessons in DeMarco’s teaching is the importance of setting energetic boundaries. Just as we establish personal boundaries in our relationships, we must also protect our spiritual energy.
“I always tell my guides, ‘You go in first, clear the space before I enter,’” she explains.
This practice ensures that negative energy does not interfere with your intuition. Whether you’re engaging in mediumship or simply trying to stay grounded in everyday life, establishing energetic boundaries can help you avoid feeling emotionally drained.
To create these boundaries, DeMarco suggests:
- Visualizing yourself surrounded by a protective white light
- Asking your spirit guides to clear your space before entering a room
- Setting the intention that only positive energy is allowed into your space
Understanding the Clairs: The Different Ways We Receive Messages
Many people associate psychic abilities with clairvoyance (the ability to see spirits or visions), but there are actually several ways intuitive messages can come through. DeMarco breaks down these different “Clairs”:
- Clairvoyance (clear seeing) – Receiving visions or images in the mind’s eye
- Clairaudience (clear hearing) – Hearing messages or guidance from the spirit world
- Clairsentience (clear feeling) – Experiencing strong gut feelings or sensing emotions
- Claircognizance (clear knowing) – Having an inner knowing without logical reasoning
- Clairalience (clear smelling) – Smelling scents connected to spirits, such as a loved one’s perfume
- Clairgustance (clear tasting) – Tasting something connected to a spirit or message
Recognizing which “Clair” is most active for you can help you better understand how you receive intuitive messages.
Meeting Your Spirit Guides
According to DeMarco, everyone has spirit guides who are eager to help them. But how do you meet them? She recommends a guided meditation where you imagine yourself entering a peaceful setting, such as a garden or temple, and inviting your guide to join you.
“Ask them questions: What is your name? How are you here to help me? What messages do you have for me?” DeMarco suggests.
Over time, as you continue this practice, you’ll likely start to receive clearer messages from your guides.
How to Receive Messages from Loved Ones
For those hoping to connect with deceased loved ones, DeMarco advises looking for signs rather than expecting direct messages. Spirit often communicates through small, everyday occurrences—such as a song playing at the perfect moment or an object being moved.
She also recommends visiting a special place associated with the loved one in meditation:
“I go to my grandmother’s house in my mind. I can smell her cooking, see her sitting at the table, and feel her presence.”
This practice can create a bridge between you and your loved one, making it easier to receive messages.
Final Thoughts
Developing psychic abilities isn’t about becoming a professional medium—it’s about learning to trust yourself, set boundaries, and connect with the universe in a meaningful way. Marianne DeMarco’s insights offer a powerful reminder that we all have the capacity to receive divine guidance if we open ourselves to it.
