Do I Have a Sixth Sense? 8 Signs You’re More Intuitive Than You Think

Your sixth sense is the energetic, spiritual part of you that reads the unseen: the vibes in a room, the truth behind someone's words, the strange knowing that something's about to shift.

If you’re asking the question, do I have a sixth sense? You might not speak to Spirits or read minds, but one truth remains: we all have a sixth sense. It’s your inner knowing. Your gut instinct. That quiet whisper of wisdom that nudges you forward when logic says otherwise. And whether you’ve called it intuition, a hunch, or divine guidance, you’ve already used it many times.

Still not convinced? Let’s explore how your sixth sense has always been guiding you, and how you can start tuning in with confidence and joy.

What Is the Sixth Sense?

Beyond the five physical senses—sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell—your sixth sense is your inner compass. It’s the energetic, spiritual part of you that reads the unseen: the vibes in a room, the truth behind someone’s words, the strange knowing that something’s about to shift.

Your sixth sense isn’t about fortune telling or reading minds. It’s about perceiving energy, truth, and possibilities beyond the surface.

Psychics and mediums don’t have something you don’t. They’ve just practiced and trusted their sixth sense long enough to rely on it. And you can too.

How Do You Know You Have A Sixth Sense?

Still wondering, do I have a sixth sense? Here are eight signs your sixth sense is alive and well:

  • You get a “bad feeling” before something happens.
  • You suddenly think of someone—then they call or text.
  • You walk into a room and can instantly feel tension or peace.
  • You’ve had dreams that later came true.
  • You sense people’s moods before they say a word.
  • You “just knew” something wasn’t right—and you were spot on.
  • You get a feeling not to trust someone, and it turns out to be true.
  • You feel you should drive a different way and by doing so avoided roadworks.

If any of this sounds familiar, congratulations! You’ve already been using your sixth sense. The only difference now is: you’re about to become more intentional with it.

Why Do We Forget Our Sixth Sense?

Our world conditions us to value what we can see, touch, and measure. We’re taught to trust logic, statistics, and external authority over our inner knowing.

As children, we were naturally intuitive. But many of us were told:

  • “You’re imagining things.”
  • “That’s just a coincidence.”
  • “You’re too sensitive.”

And so, over time, we shut down our intuitive gifts.

But here’s the truth: sensitivity is a superpower, not a flaw. Your sixth sense is still there, quietly waiting to be reawakened.

How to Reconnect With Your Sixth Sense

It’s not about being psychic in a Hollywood sense. It’s about getting back to the quiet wisdom within and learning to trust it again.

Here are powerful ways to remember your sixth sense:

1. Create Stillness Daily

Your sixth sense whispers—it doesn’t shout. It’s the subtle flicker of awareness just beneath your everyday thoughts. When life is noisy, busy, or chaotic, it’s easy to miss these sacred signals. That’s why stillness is essential.

Meditation helps you quiet the mind so that the inner voice can rise to the surface. Even five minutes a day of focused breathing can shift your awareness. Quiet walks allow you to step away from the noise of the world and tune into your surroundings—and yourself. Time in nature reconnects you to the rhythm of life, where your intuition naturally begins to flow.

So, in no time at all, you’ll be able to answer the question. Do I have a sixth sense? The answer will come to you as a resounding Yes! Whether you’re watching the wind through the trees, sitting by a candle, or soaking in silence, these moments of stillness create a doorway to your intuitive self. The more space you give it, the more clearly it speaks.

2. Use Oracle or Tarot Cards

Psychic tools like the 6th Sense Connection Oracle Cards are like mirrors for the soul. They don’t “tell your future” in the traditional sense. Instead, they reflect your inner truth. These cards help bring unconscious thoughts, feelings, and energy into conscious awareness.

Each card you draw holds a vibration that speaks directly to your intuitive self. Whether it’s a single-card message for the day or a more in-depth spread, the imagery, symbolism, and messages of the cards provide a space for self-reflection and spiritual connection.

When you sit with a card and feel what it stirs in you—emotionally, mentally, and energetically—you begin to uncover guidance that was already present within you. These cards act as conversation starters with your soul, allowing you to access clarity, reassurance, and direction.

Let the cards reflect what you feel deep inside but haven’t yet voiced. They are not outside authorities—they are keys to unlock what your spirit already knows to be true.

3. Start a “Hits” Journal

Keep track of intuitive hunches, gut feelings, sudden insights, and synchronicities that pop up in your daily life. Write them down as soon as they happen—even if they seem small or insignificant at the time. This includes moments when you think of someone right before they contact you, dream of something that manifests later, or feel a nudge to take action that turns out to be just right.

Over time, as you revisit your journal, you’ll begin to see patterns and validations that your sixth sense has been guiding you all along. Seeing how often your intuitive nudges are accurate will boost your confidence and help you distinguish between true intuition and mental noise.

This practice not only strengthens your trust in your inner wisdom but also serves as a beautiful record of your spiritual growth and connection with the unseen world.

4. Listen to Your Body

Ever felt sick to your stomach before a bad decision—or butterflies before a great one? Your body is a psychic antenna. It’s constantly picking up on energetic cues and subtle vibrations, even before your mind can process what’s going on.

Physical sensations are often your first intuitive signals. A tightening in your chest might mean something is off. A sudden wave of exhaustion could signal energetic overload. A lightness or tingling sensation might confirm that you’re in alignment with the right path. These messages aren’t random—they are your sixth sense speaking through your nervous system, your heart, and even your skin.

Learning to read your body’s intuitive language takes patience and presence. Start by checking in regularly: “How do I feel in this moment? What is my body trying to tell me?” Trust what arises, even if it doesn’t make logical sense right away. The body often knows the truth long before the mind catches up.

5. Say No to Noise

Too much input from others—whether it’s social media scrolls, unsolicited advice, or constant comparison—can blur the voice of your inner wisdom. Your sixth sense speaks with clarity, but if you’re constantly surrounded by the chatter of others, it becomes harder to hear your own truth.

Your sixth sense loves nature
Take a walk in nature, listen to the trees, they have wonderful things to tell you.

When overloaded with outside perspectives, it becomes easy to second-guess your instincts or override them in favor of what’s trending, expected, or popular. Your intuition isn’t found in the comments section on psychics’ pages on social media, or it’s cultivated in silence and self-trust.

Take intentional breaks from screens and crowds. When you create space from the noise, your voice grows stronger, steadier, and more confident. Tune others out, not in rebellion, but in devotion to your own inner compass. Tune yourself in,and find your truth waiting patiently for you.

6. Play “What Feels Right”

Make small choices based on what feels right, not just what looks good on paper or seems logical to others. This practice is about trusting the quiet nudges, body sensations, and energy shifts accompanying intuitive decisions.

Start with everyday choices: What clothes feel right today? Which direction should I walk? What should I eat? Let your inner compass guide you—not habit or expectation.

Once you begin acting on intuitive feelings, take time to reflect. Did that choice bring ease, joy, or clarity? Or did it feel off in hindsight? These reflections teach you the unique language of your sixth sense. The more you align your choices with what resonates energetically, the more in tune you’ll become with your deeper wisdom.

Trust doesn’t come from perfection; it grows through experimentation, experience, and observation. Let every small decision become a lesson in self-trust.

7. Affirm Your Intuition

Speak it into existence! Words have power, and when you speak your truth with intention, you activate your energy and focus it like a beam of light. Affirmations help rewire your subconscious mind and reinforce trust in your inner knowing.

Start each morning by grounding yourself, placing a hand over your heart or your third eye, and declaring your affirmation out loud. Feel the words resonate through your body. You are not just repeating a sentence—you are building a new energetic reality.

“I am trusting my inner knowing. My intuition is a sacred gift, and I am open to its wisdom.”

This daily practice isn’t just symbolic—it strengthens your belief in yourself and your sixth sense. Over time, it shifts your default setting from doubt to trust, from confusion to clarity. Let your voice become the bridge between your conscious mind and your intuitive soul.

8. Get a Reading (Or Give Yourself One)

A reading from a skilled psychic or an intuitive card session with yourself can open energetic doors that may have felt closed or unclear. These experiences create space for clarity, healing, and confirmation that you’re on the right path—or gently highlight where you may need to pivot.

Spiritual readings often affirm what your soul already suspects but your mind may still question. They reflect your energy back to you in a way that feels both validating and enlightening. Whether it’s through tarot, oracle cards, or intuitive channeling, these tools speak the language of Spirit and echo your inner truths.

Giving yourself a reading can be just as powerful. As you draw cards or interpret symbols, you’re practicing deep listening and energetic reflection. You’re cultivating trust in your own connection to higher wisdom. Never underestimate the power of spiritual validation—it’s like a loving nod from the universe saying, “Yes, you’re in tune. Keep going.”


Sixth Sense or Imagination? Here’s How to Tell The Difference

One of the most common questions is: “How do I know if it’s my sixth sense or just my imagination running wild?” It’s a beautiful and powerful question because intuition differs greatly from fear, fantasy, or mental noise.

1. Your Sixth Sense Is Calm. Your Imagination Is Reactive.

Your sixth sense whispers. It’s subtle, soft, and steady. Your imagination is loud. It spirals. It creates what if scenarios that spin you into fear or fantasy.

2. Your Sixth Sense Never Criticizes You

Your sixth sense NEVER speaks badly about you. It doesn’t guilt-trip you or call you names. That voice that says you’re not good enough? That’s not your intuition. Your sixth sense is your soul’s voice. Even when it warns you, it’s gentle and empowering.

3. Intuition Is Grounded in the Now. Imagination Projects Into the Future

Your intuition speaks to the present. Your imagination takes you into hypothetical futures that may never happen.

4. Your Sixth Sense Brings Clarity. Imagination Clouds It

True intuition brings peace, even when the message is difficult. Imagination often stirs confusion, anxiety, or emotional chaos.

5. Intuition Seeks to Enlighten, Warn, and Uplift

Your sixth sense won’t scare you into submission. It nudges you toward growth, clarity, and empowerment. It might say:

  • “You need to rest.”
  • “This person doesn’t feel right.”
  • “There’s a better opportunity coming.”

Even tough messages from your sixth sense are wrapped in love.

Frequently Asked Questions: Do I Have a Sixth Sense?

Q1: Does everyone really have a sixth sense?

Yes! We are all born with intuitive ability. Some call it a gut feeling, inner knowing, or spiritual sensitivity. The difference is that some people trust and use it more consciously.

Q2: What does the sixth sense feel like?

It often shows up as a calm sense of knowing, a physical sensation (like chills or a stomach flutter), a sudden insight, or a gentle emotional nudge. It’s subtle but powerful.

Q3: Can I lose my sixth sense?

You can ignore or suppress it—but it never truly goes away. Like any skill, it just needs practice, attention, and trust to grow stronger again.

Q4: Is the sixth sense the same as psychic ability?

Your sixth sense is the foundation of all psychic ability. Everyone has a sixth sense, but those who develop it further often experience deeper intuitive or psychic insights.

Stress, fear, self-doubt, and mental noise can all cloud intuitive clarity. Overthinking and too much external input (like constant social media or others’ opinions) can drown out your inner voice.

Q6: How can I tell if it’s my intuition or just anxiety?

Intuition is calm, clear, and steady—even when the message is serious. Anxiety is frantic, fearful, and often repetitive. Your sixth sense never speaks in panic.
