I'd like to share a recent experience I had while awake. Last week while sitting in my bed I had the strangest most disturbing feeling that came over me. The feeling was death and sent chills all over me. I had a strong feeling of murders of a family inside their house. I don't know why I had this feeling but since I've been about 7 years old I can sense things that's about to happen. The feeling of sense was very strong, I closed my eyes and said a prayer out of fear. The next morning when I woke up I was watching the news and not to far from where I live a family had been murdered in their home over night!
I sometimes have these kinds of premonitions and most are true to happen but every since I've been a little girl this would happen and I can't explain them. I've only told my close family members of some of the things that I can sense but I want to be careful of what I say or how I react before saying anything. I've also traveled outside my body but not as much as an adult but when I was younger it use to happen all the time, I can remember sleeping in bed one night and lifted up from my body looking down at myself sleep but soon as it happened I got so scared I felt myself drop back down! I experienced that a few times until I taught myself not to travel by controlling how relaxed I was when falling asleep. Not sure if this makes sense to anyone cause to me I sound kind of silly, lol
Does anyone know what kind of psychic ability this is? If so what do you suggest on how to open up more to it?

I think it's hard to say beforehand what method works best for you when it comes to learning how to quiet the mind in meditation. I will give you a simple exercise that has worked well for others that I have taught about this, as a foundation before going further into various aspects of practicing psychic or spiritual work. The idea behind this exercise is to learn how to ignore all that inner chatter, like you mentioned "a thousand thoughts", and at the end have a state of mind with no thoughts at all. This is the state that you want to reach because now you are open to receive and now you will know that anything you receive is not coming from yourself but from an outer source. There are other things to learn too before doing any kind of psychic work, but this is only about the meditation part which is really a prerequisite.
It can be rather hard to go from a thousand thoughts to no thoughts. So there is a step in between that will make this easier. You need to set up a mental picture with one single object with nothing else in the foreground or in the background. Then focus on that object. Pick a simple object, like a burning candle. Try it and see how this goes. With some practice all other random thoughts that you had before should subside and vanish. Once you master this single-object focusing, you are ready to remove this object in your mind and now you are basically focusing on nothingness.
I am sure if you google on this subject you can find many other techniques that accomplish the same. It's more a matter of finding the way that works best for you.
I hope this helps.
