psíquica

Psíquica is a term of Spanish origin that translates to "psychic" in English. It generally refers to an individual believed to possess abilities beyond the normal scope of human perception, often associated with extrasensory perception (ESP) or paranormal phenomena. These abilities are said to include telepathy (mind-reading), clairvoyance (seeing distant events), precognition (foreseeing the future), and psychokinesis (moving objects with the mind).

The concept of psíquica has a long history across various cultures and spiritual traditions. While often depicted in fiction and popular media, the existence and nature of these abilities are subjects of ongoing debate and skepticism. Scientific research into psychic phenomena has yielded no conclusive evidence to support their reality under controlled conditions.

Individuals who identify or are identified as psíquica may claim to use their abilities for various purposes, such as providing guidance, healing, or communicating with the deceased. The understanding and acceptance of psíquica vary widely, with some cultures and belief systems readily incorporating such concepts, while others view them with skepticism or as superstition. The term itself can also be used more broadly to describe anything related to the mind or mental processes, though its common usage leans towards the paranormal.
