Developing/understanding psychic abilities

Scubadevils

Hi all,

My first post in this forum as I only found it recently.

I have had several what I understand to be psychic visions or thoughts (excuse the wording if its not as it should be described!) for as far back as I can remember. They were more frequent when I was a child and I didn't really think much of them back then. Even when they do happen now or in more recent years I still sort of brush them off. Something pretty bad (a family tragedy) happened in my life about two years ago and the psychic activity seemed to increase around that time. I would love to discuss what happened but cannot bring myself to post the details in a public forum. I would like to understand these abilities more so because at times they have frightened me, I suppose because I don't understand why it happens. An early example of what happens to me - the earliest I can remember was when I was around 10 years old. My mother was planning to sell the house and we were expecting an estate agent to call to value the house. I said as a joke to my mother that a blue Ford Granada had pulled up outside the house and an old man was walking up the driveway. About ten minutes later exactly that happened. My mother was amazed and I from memory was not surprised at all.
There have been several other incidents like this over the years that really are of no relevance. When I say no relevance I mean its not like I am being alerted to any danger or anything of significance, usually just everyday events can pop into my head generally minutes before they happen. I don't think ahead as such, they do just come into my head for no reason (that I understand anyway). There have been more serious ones though and other types of things have happened that I would prefer not to post as they do also relate to what happened a couple of years ago. Really what I am asking, is there anyone I can talk to about these things to get a better understanding?

I would really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.

hey there..

you should be able to feel free to discuss these issues here, I can relate in some ways, I can understand how frustrating it can be on one hand and also how it is to adjust to what is really "aknowledging" particular abilties or attributes that we all kind of have in a way.
I think it really only takes one incident to "wake up" sometimes and like you described as a child when you described to your mother a particular scenario which then occured must have given you cause for thought, you didn't brush it off as coincidence (children don't tend to) and probably focused your attention on "how that happened".
It;s like once you start looking, you begin to see it everywhere.

As with all things, psychic abilities can be disiplined and you can learn how to focus your attention elsewhere and regain control of your thought processes.

Hope that makes sense.

Hi Felixdhc, welcome to the board.

I started posting here for pretty much the same reasons as yourself. Unfortunately noone seems to really have any definitive answers to anything, but then again if someone claimed to you'd have to be at least a little skeptical about their motives. The best thing I've learnt on the board is that there are many others who've shared similar experiences to mine and many others who've had some completly different ones.

Feel free to share anything you want, remember that there's a good level of anonimity already when posting on the internet, and you can always generalise or leave out details that are too personal. People in general tend to pretty respectful of other peoples posts. The odd skeptic will demand proof of some form but generally they just want more information to understand and learn from your point of view.

Have a good look back through all the old threads to get an idea of the kind of things people have posted about. You may even want to resurrect a few of the old threads

Like you Felix, I have had numerous psychic moments (way too many too mention). It is hard to understand why it happens to some people and not to others but nevertheless I have accepted it graciously. When I first started to try and understand/make sense of it all, I found it hard to talk to other people - mainly because some were sceptical or thought I was just plain weird. Now I don't care - Life is too short to worry about what other people think........

Youre definitely not alone, I came here too to find other people who might have had similar psychic things happen, and for a while I found it a bit negative, I think Ive been questioning myself more than I did, which can be hard, but character building

I look forward to discussing things with you, I think I and the others who have posted here, will probably understand where youre coming from. As was said you will get the odd sceptic, but most are questioning in a good way, and the muppets we can disregard.

The main reason that I am not quick to discuss what happened is that it was a death in the family at the time, my older brother. I really have not come to terms with that yet and find it difficult to recount the events around the time. I am not too bothered about sceptics questioning what I say as I know what I say is true and would be quite happy to ignore any negative remarks.

I have never spoken to anyone who has had the same types of psychic things happen. I have tried to discuss with friends and some family members over the years but its not the same when they have not had similar experiences.

I would (I think) like to meet a psychic/medium to possibly discuss my brothers death and some of what happened to me at the time. Just have to get the courage up to do that! - and feel that who I meet is genuine.

We can't really discuss anything if you're not willing to discuss it. If you want to share you'll have to open up, we can't really do anything otherwise.

I can understand how hard it is. Dont forget if you get a good vibe from someone here, you can always pm them if you want a private word

Thanks for the various thoughts and suggestions. Someone has sent me a pm and I feel things may be put in the right direction. Maybe when I feel more ready I will post again.

Thanks again.
