Do you think you're Psychic? Why?And what does that mean to you?

imprezza

I think a lot of people who read or post on the paranormal board are confused by the reactions or answers they get when they ask questions. It might help us to get to know where each other's coming from if we voice our personal definitions.
There are so many variations imo, for example to me it means taht I'm sensitive to receiving info not accessible through "normal "methods, and that by Vizualization and Ritual we can make positive things happen.
I realised this as a kid and tbh I think everyone else saw it before I did because to me that's normal. I thought everyone had flashes of things before they happened, I used to take up injured pets and hold them because I believed I could make them better by Willing it to happen. Then I met a teacher who helped me focus and develop it, and even better understand that it's natural and normal, just something that certain people have. people call it a gift but for me it's a curse.

Being Psychic means being sensitive and empathic. I think everyone has a touch of it, but to me whats important is what we do with it and for me it's to help other people.:) (emmm in between partying):o

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

i don't know if I'm psychic, but I did have a premonition while this post was loading that it would be lacking in paragraphs.

make of that what you will, I'm going to put it down to conicidence

imprezza

Ooops did I accidentally drift into the skeptics board

Nevyn

I don't think I am pyshic nor to I belive that I am.
Thinking and beliefing is a lot different to knowing.
I use it to futher my spiritual developement and in service of my Gods.

imprezza

With respect Thaedydal how can you use it spiritually if you don't believe you have it? BB.

Nevyn

Belief requires a leap of faith and why would I need that when I know I am ?
It has been proved to my self and interaction with others time and time and time again over the years.

And please imprezza if Thaedydal is too much of an effort to type or copy and paste please use Thaed and not any other names thank you.

I dont think i am psychic. But i believe i once had potential. I also see and sense things that others dont.I believe outside influences and life in general have affected me and i have bottled a lot up. I have strong instincts but sometimes they get mixed up with paranoia and i cannot differentiate!!

This is a wild shot and i am opening myself up here but i believe a lot of my anxiety and stress is down to something inside that i am blocking. I know that probably wont make sense to a lot of people, its hard to put into words. I am highly fidgety, sensitive to others moods, they affect me badly. I believe this is something to do with whatever it is i am blocking.

I would meditate but i cannot relax, at all, ever!!

I'm also scared of what might happen if i really let whats inside out and open up.

karynp

To me, IMHO.........for me from the time i was a kid ive had lots of different experiences that i believed were real but nobody else did, i was told i had a wild imagination......still do so. However as i got older i realised it was real for me, I was very scared of it all for a long time as i did not understand,then, i read all i could,went on courses,read more,practised different methods and finally connected to my higher self and my soul group,they have been a great help since. I dont care what other people think who have not expereinced what i have but i do disagree with others passing judgement on what they do not know, I know i have an important role in this world. Everyone has psychic abilities in them but not everyone has them as strong as others,just like some people are not as academic as others...thats life. I love what i have, i love understanding and getting the wow factor from the spirit world with the different things that happen to me,the wonderful experiences they have given me,the inspiration,the synchronocites and the chance to delve deep into my soul, also for the insight they provide for other people through me, for the many hearts i have helped heal and for the wonderful vision and sight i have, of course, i have allowed this to happen,but isnt it wonderful how it all takes shape.

Hi Trinity imo you don't lose psychic abilities they seem to be particularly strong at times and completely gone at other times. That feeling you describe sounds familiar, I went through those negative feelings on and of for years and was really wired up til I took up meditation and yoga. Who knows it could help you too?
Nice one KarynP You've hit the nail on the head there!

I would give it a try but life is getting in the way

I have never studied or read books on the subject but i was more aware of it a couple of years ago. I'd sit quietly with my candles. Son is getting older though and never a quiet minute to myself!

I had kind of forgotten that i had an interest in it til i found this forum. I suppose i could do with some outside interests and this is about all that interests me really as i am highly distractable and easily bored and there is so much to learn about this!!

Can someone recommend a good beginners book?

karynp

Trinity,when you go through spiritual development/awakening and you fight it, it can become quite a terrible time, these feelings you describe, i believe, are simply because you are awakening but fighting it off, i would advise perhaps that you try to relax and learn calming exercises. I posted a method in a thread called Psychic Techniques, its called sitting in the power, go and have a read of it and give it a go,do you no harm. I fully understand your frustrations.Ive been there and a one point thought i was mad,now everyone else does and i dont,LOL. Seriously though, speak up a little more and do some inner work.

Trinity, you have answered something for yourself, you said you lost all interest then found this forum......think a little more.why did you find this forum,spirit put it in your path,they knew you would take the carrot,NOW you are ready to begin your path,take it slow girl,ask as many questions as you need to ask,theres always somebody whos been there,HOWEVER...and i cannot stress this enough, there is only so much second hand information you can take, you MUST experience for yourself,everybody has different ways,there is no right or wrong way of learning,whatever suits you best, it usuallt takes a few trys of different techniques to see whats best.
Off the top of my head,theres a free psychic developement ebook on a site called www.spiritualtarotguidance.com , log on and check it out, also a good forum to join.........psychicliving@yahoogroups.com

How long have you been a Psychic KarynP. Do you give classes?

karynp

Hi Imprezza, I suppose to answer honestly, all my life...or lives LOL
Its always been there,when the voices started i was only a wee teenager,they frightened the life outve me, i used to stand screaming with my hands over my ears or under my covers, i then believe,spirit took it easy on me for a few years as i had nobody to help me oot,my mam always said i was hallucinating,then when i turned about 21/22 i allowed it back in,only a little,as i got older i became more secure and trusting in the spirit world, i began to listen to their gentle prompts and hints,began to recognize the little things they would do and basically became friends with a power greater than my human form. Over the years ive learnt quite a lot,im 33 now and have a lot under my belt. Even now,my mam still frowns upon me,my dad however is great,total understanding of me and a great support, i am also blessed with two ultra sensitive little darlings whom i will teach what i know. At present i read cards,do fairs and have recently decided i will teach others,hope to get that off the ground soon, im also writing a book (arent we all),and im doing kids books too,teaching them in a subtle way so they can understand what happens them. I truely love what i do and i know its gonna get better for me, i also plan to do platform work and aurasoma,a little different to the average type, I will be drawing the aura then reading what i see,again, im studying a lot right now.
How bout you? you have a wonderful gift,use it more than you do, have you ever thought of becoming a healer, you have that quality about you to make an improvement in peoples well being.

Can i ask (and sorry if going off topic) what do you recommend telling children? My son is just 7 but he used to talk a lot about his past lives and about before he was born. He always tells me how he chose me to be his mother and quite frankly i believe him due to certain circumstances. He doesnt talk so much about it anymore.

My dad is also very supportive and never disbelieves me

Nevyn

You do need to my mind to be in a stable space in your life to start develing into training and opening your awarness and times of change may not be a good thing.

I know I shut down a lot of the ways in which I operated when I was pregnant.

Yes its something i was thinking myself, theres a lot going on at the moment apart from pregnancy and i am all over the place, thats why i didnt want to open any doors and i ignored what was going on in the house. I can see someone in the corner of my eye in the doorway as i post.

Probably best to wait alright. Sorry Karyn i never mentioned my pregnancy

karynp

Trinity, be gentle with him and understanding,the best you can do is listen and let him feel its real,also keep him grounded and tell him its secret stuff,just for you to discuss. Heres a group with a part on it for kids,adults must be with them when posting mail,ask him what he wants to write,do it for him and discuss the replies.

http://www.spiritualblessing.org/Forums/index.php

Also a GREAT book to get, i got it last year for my kids and read it with my son
Mountains,Meadows and Moonbeams by Mary Summer Rain
Its fab, goes right through everything from before they are born and all about the different aspects of the soul,its great but not too much for them.

karynp

Congratulations Trinity. Your senses are heightened in pregnancy so you will be all over the place. Chill out and relax untill your child is born.
You have many guides watching and minding you,as you are pregnant just use this time to adjust and think,no more.
the person you see from the corner of your eye is most likely a minder, if you feel uncomfortable with them there,ask them to go, you are in charge,remember that

No i'm not uncomfortable anymore and funny enough my anxiety levels have dropped in the last few weeks also. This person is shy, just watching. curious.

I feel a bit vulnerable writing this, feel like i am opening myself up to ridicule. I'm not very discreet, half my personal life is up on boards for all to see

I had a guardian angel called Michael for years. I forgot about him when again, life got in the way. I've asked him to come back recently. I dont think he has yet but i'm going to keep trying.

karynp

Was this a personal guide or was it Archangel Michael himself, he is a protector and has many wonderful qualities, ask him to surround you with white light every day,to protect anyone you so wish,just ask that he surround them with white light and keep them safe.
I understand your feeling vunerable and dont want to be ridiculed but i personally feel if someone is petty enough to pick on anothers beliefs then they need to take a good look at themselves, at the end of the day,we all go the same place,then they will understand, i always allow them their say,if thats how they feel,they have choosen to learn certain lessons here and thats their choice.

imprezza

Merry Meet KarynP you're right about the Healing, like yourself I had experiences since I was a kid. Lucky me I'd chosen Pagan parents so it was never really religion, just what we were. Then I studied Wicca, I'm 3rd degree& Hierophant. I was reading Tarot and doing Pranic healing from when I was 17, 12 years ago. Then I went to India and designed jewlry made with Crystals and gems so I did a lot of fairs too. I gave it all up because there just seem to be more Psychics/healers/Angel readers/Shamans than humans in the world and always the rebel its just TOO popular now for me, although I still work with a group because they are like my 2nd family now. So best of luck with your work and great to meet a kindred Spirit

so.... pregnancy inhibits psychic ability, and it also heightens it.

awesome.

I have no idea who Michael is. I just knew that was his name.

I often wanted to contact a medium as i feel there is always someone around me. But i havent lost anyone close thank god. I dont think its him though his presence felt different.

I took that as Thaedydal chose to shut it down. Possibly because the senses were heightened and who needs that on top of pregnancy hormones

Thats how i took it to mean anyway.

Great thread.
I don't believe I'm psychic but I know I am very intuitive and I believe this intuition has saved my life twice. Some people I've told the stories to say things like "you must be psychic" or "someone was watching over you" but to be honest I think it was just strong intuition in both cases (or extra good driving in one case:p ).
I have however had some other experiences e.g an image just flashing into my mind which then happens later. I don't know if that's psychic... if it happened a lot maybe but I'm talking about just a few times in my life. I also had an experience (for want of a better word) the morning someone close to me died which I can't forget. Again it could have been coincidence or a bad/ sad dream but it's stuck with me.... you know?
I have worked on meditation etc but when things start to get a bit weird I get spooked and back off/ shut down. I've been in shutdown mode for a few months now but hey I'm still hanging out here which must mean something!

So in answer to the question. No I'm not psychic, I'm strongly intuitive but I think I have the potential for more but it scares the bejaysus out of me because I don't want to see or hear dead people! I don't know where the boundaries are so I don't go there at all.

So I'm kind of in your boat Trinity!
KarynP I haven't had a chance to read your psychic techniques post yet (sick kiddies..ahhhh) but I plan to.

Edited to say Trinity not "trintity":D

Hi Littlebug, imho most people don't recognise their own psychic abilities until someone else tells them they have them, if that makes sense It's a natural thing some people have more than others, pretty much like any talent or potential.
These are natural talents humans used since the beginning of time all over the world, but in the Middle ages the christian churches taught that these were evil powers and banned them.

It's the Age of Aquarius now and I think that there is a huge rise in the number of people recognizing their Psychic skills and that there is a world wide raising of human consciousness through people like ourselves tapping into their Higher Selves. Go for it if you want to!
Just because you don't feel psychic it doesnt stop you from exploring psychic stuff if you want to. We don't always recognise our own potential.:)

karynp

Imprezza,thanks a mill for your kind thoughts,right back at you! India....great experience i would imagine, i have a Native Indian past life, still trying to figure it all out.
You have done a lot for your years,great.
I agree there are quite a lot of people involved in this field at present,but as lightworkers we have a job to do,the fairs have become quite competitive and bitchy,people talking about those who have more readings,that side of it does not interest me, you get who your meant to get,no more, if you try to sway things in your way,karma catches up, if greed takes over then you turn into it,thats why i have also ditched most of the fairs and am now concentrating on my work in Dublin,the cafe should take off and im happy. The world is raising its vibrational level, there are a lot of people emerging at this time because they are supposed to,there are also a lot of people claiming to be walk ins,et's and the like, its become like a fad for some but at the end of the day,those who are not true will be exposed.

You dont have to loose someone close for them to be part of your soul group,someone you hardly knew could be a member of your soul group,also the thing to remember is a medium cannot guarantee spirit contact, also anyone can speak through a medium,we cannot demand who comes in,sometimes the most unlikely person is who speaks.

This sentence stood out.:D Im the same. And I used to be so shy. But its amazing once you speak up, how much acceptance is out there too.

I havent said much on here because I feel like youve heard me say it so many times before.

The psychic ability and pregnancy bit is interesting, I shut down too, because I felt I had too much going on, and Im shut down now because of life in general and little kids wrecking my head.
Hopefully Ill get back into all this at some point in the future.

stormkeeper

I'm still trying to make sense of everything, so at present, being psychic means relatively little to me, if it will ever mean anything to me. For all I know, when I actually fully discover my abilities and make sense of it all, it could be something that is totally natural to me, which in a way means nothing...

karynp

We will always be learning how far we can take our abilities, I dont think there is anybody who knows it all........imho...its how you use your abilities is what makes it special,it makes me feel so good and all glowy inside,and excited to know there is so much more to me,to know i have been here before, to know when i meet a complete stranger and feel ive known them forever and talk about anything and everything....those are moments of clarity,those are the times when you can really understand you.
Also, i love when i discover i can do something else , i love when i am showered in unconditional love from the spirit world, you know,its like being in love,in a new relationship,when you think of it you giggle, you feel you have something to give you a lift,you can turn to spirit and yourself in times of need..........once you take hold of and understand this wonderful gift,you feel whole,safe and truely loved.

magnumlady

I don't think I'm psychic but I have had a couple of things that have happened that I have predicted, I have no idea how this happens, maybe its co-incidence?

dreamingoak

i am clairvoyant and it means the world to me. i fought it for most of my life, and was definitely 'different'. Now i just do what i do as best i can and get on with it. and even though it does open us up to ridicule as you say, i think its like being gay, you cant breathe in the closet. i struggled for years with terrible doubt, and only in the last two years or so, that seems to have gone away and im much more comfortable with who i am. it feels wonderful when im 'biting the bullet' doing readings, and even better when i get great feedback! how great to try to help a woman struggling to concieve and then bump into her pregnant in tesco! i love what i do , am open but still 'normal' with my daughter and would never change it. unless it changes itself, as really its constantly evelving, i never know whats coming next.
