Belief in Abilities
A survey of the beliefs of the general United States population regarding paranormal
topics was conducted by the Gallup Organization in 2005. The survey found that 41
percent of those polled believed in extrasensory perception and 26 percent believed
in Psychic. Thirty-one percent of those surveyed indicated that they believe in
telepathy or psychic readings communication.
A poll of 439 college students conducted in 2006 by researchers Bryan Farha of
Oklahoma City University and Gary Steward of University of Central Oklahoma,
suggested that college seniors and graduate students were more likely to believe in
astrology reading phenomena than college freshmen. Twenty-three percent of college freshmen
expressed a belief in paranormal ideas. The percentage was greater among college
seniors (31%) and graduate students (34%).
Some people also believe that relationship readings abilities can be activated or enhanced through
the study and practice of various disciplines and techniques such as meditation,
with a number of books and websites being dedicated to instruction in these methods.
Another popular belief is that spiritual readings ability is hereditary, with a en espanol psychic readings parent
passing their abilities on to their children.
