young & confused ... offer some guidence?

Throughout my life thus far i have experienced few experiences which i would call psychic, but the few that i have had, have been overwhelming and extrodinary. First i would like to say, I do not meditate and i am unable to or untrained to tap into my ability on command. There have been a few significant events in my life leading me to writing this very blog. I will explain those events now....

Age 6: While laying in my childhood bed, concentrating on the sound of the distant train while trying to go to sleep, a presence came about at first i could only feel it and then it manifested itself into what i determined was an old man. Generally i would have been afraid (i was afraid of monsters under my bed and in the closet worse than any kid i knew)... but i wasn't. I remember smiling and feeling protected while going to sleep. Sometime a few days later while playing, i was singing a song to a doll i owned. My Mother asked me where i had heard the song, and i didn't know. The song was what her father use to sing to her as a child... but her father had passed before i was born. I believe that its possible that i encountered the spirit of my grandfather.

Age 7: Again while laying in my childhood bed, i got an overall uneasy gut feeling that something was wrong. My stepdad who was trying to calm me down, kept asking me what was wrong. i was hysterical and i repeated something bad in going to happen.. and he would ask whats going to happen? I said I don't know the house is going to burn down or something... just something bad is going to happen. The following morning, we would wake to discovry my mother in a terrible condition leading to the hospital where we foudn she had a brain aneursym, she was in a coma for 6 months following, and has complete loss of short term memory.

Age 11: I developed an obsession of praying, feeling that if i didn't pray often enough everyone i cared about would die.

Age 12: my grandma dies, and uncle two weeks following... I had prayed, I stopped believing in God at this point in my life (these maybe insignificant?)

Age 20: Friends and I were at a party recently, when my best guy friend recieves a phone call informing of the tragic suicidal overdose of this rugby captain. him and another friend of the guy who passed ( i didn't know him) became hysterical in tears, in a bedroom of a house party decided they would drink in his honor ( i think the mindset was thats what he would have wanted?). His friend soon became biligerent and even more hysterical. I was in the room just holding my friend feeling terrible. My guy friend and I had to carry his friend down the road to their house where he imediately fell asleep. Once his friend was asleep My best friend felt he didn't have to be the 'strong one' anymore and just let it all out. I was holding him while he cried, after about 10 mins i felt like i was being punched just above my belly button, and i felt overwhelmed by the emotions my friend was feeling. I looked down at my friend and watched as he fell asleep, i started crying, and laid his hea don the bed covered him up and left. The feeling did not leave me until i stopped physically touching my friend.
...... allmost the end, i promise.
My brother-in-law has some sort of pshysic abilities i'm not exactly sure what kind, but when i told him this story he told me i had temporarily misplaced his pain andd that is why he fell asleep. He was actually quite excitied to hear about it because he had been urging me to explore my purpose as he calls it for two years before. Anyways what this all comes down to is that My brother-in-law told me that he believes i have potential abilities to be a healer, and has urgered me to explore myself to figure it out. I don't know if I'm a healer or if those experiences where of psychic relevence, and if i am supposed to explore myself i don't know how or where. The only time these things have come about has been in time of emotional distress, and i'm unwiling to put myself trhough something like that just to see if i have an ability? I'm just confused ... it probably doesn't help that i'm 20 so im just generally confused about life.

Terrahfish, there is nothing to be confused about~~~everybody has this ability~~~ it's just a matter of honoring it through awareness~~~Place your intent on discovering the abilities within you.

Peace and light.

yes, we all have a spiritual side and if you are to be a healer then you don't want to be physically hurt. i asked a healer what did she do with the hurt when she took it from someone else. She told me she released it into mother earth, that mother earth could obsorb this. I hope this is still true today but just to make sure when you do heal, ask permission and say thankyou for taking this into you.

Another hint my elder taught me about dreams is to become one with them. Sorta go with the flow instead of standing on the side lines... you can't be hurt in the dreams so do not fear. look around and see all you can see while there and you will probably wake refreshed. It does take a little practice. Tell someone as you have done as sharing releases the energy and sometimes draw it or write about it first thing. This stops any action so you can study it.
Sometimes I still do have to wake myself up if I do not like how the dream is going. I attempt to change directions if it looks ugly and try another path... but when I can't change the path of the dream, I wake and wait abit before returning. I do dream the same dream over again but it's usually preplanned. I think of it before i go to bed and sure enough, I will develope a path with that in the dream. I'm an artist.

hope this will help you feel friendiler toward your studies. grin.

Just imagine what you could do if you learned how to meditate and could tap into your sixth sense anytime you wanted to.

Just as it took time for you to learn how to walk and talk when you were a young child, it will take time for you to learn how to use your psychic abilities too.

Besides being Clairvoyant and having Precognition you also have Empathy. You have the ability to recognize, perceive and directly feel the emotion of another.

It's important to believe in yourself and always trust your intuition. It really helps to talk with someone that is like minded such as your brother-in-law and all of us here in the Psychic Connection group. There are many very talented and knowledgeable people here to help you along your way.

Welcome to our group!

Terra, read the responses carefully. All i want to add is to emphasize that the reason it was so uncomfortable is because you don't have more 'control'. If you develop your abilities, you can learn to channel others' pain (both physical and emotional) thru you in a way that doesn't scar you. Some groups believe you actually get a 'copy' of any healing you do for others. i've done some healing (more for emotional stuff than physical) and maybe it's just the 'glow' of knowing i did a good thing but i always feel better after, not tired or drained. In fact that's a way i know they accepted the healing...and make no mistake it has to be 'accepted' by the recipient to be permanent...when the person has something to gain (usually a psychological something)by being a 'victim' of one thing or another they tend to reject (not always consciously, but you can feel it) the healing.

People in whom the psychic gifts we all have are stronger usually recognize each other and can sense the potential of each other. i would take your bil's advice, but seek out a meditation group, or even check out some books on it from the library...my first meditations were totally self directed from things i learned in books. One of the first things meditation can do is help with the confusion of life, give you a sense of control over yourself at least.

Sending light to you....

Hi Terrah,
I read your post, and wold like to suggest that you may be a sensitive. I believe that we all have som pyshic ability, and instinctively we recognise those feelings as being odd or different. I believe we all have some pushic abilities, but it can be so strange, especially when you first recognize it for what it is. YOU do not have to be afraid of it, however, I must say, that many people are, and if that is true in your case, then tale baby steps to learn about it. There are some very good books regarding this topic, and you can go as fast or as slow as you wish. I have know that I and my sister where psyhic from a very small age, but we also learned, very quickly that most people do not understand about this ability, or else they are using it to promote themselves, instead of using this gift to help others. If you are using it for personal gain, you will quickly learn that is not the way it is supposed to be used. If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask to find out. I would encourage you to stay away from Wicca and groups that are self serving to use this method as a "charm". Best of luck to you, Tauna

Terrahfish, you are more than simply empathic. You actually took the pain away from your friend and absorbed into your own body. Most empathics only sense the pain others feel and "empathize" with them. You have a rare ability to actually take the pain into your own body and remove it from the one suffering. You should be careful who you touch as this may happen again when you are not prepared for it. I don't know of anyone else who can do this or help you to control it. You may want to try absorbing someone's pain that isn't real traumatic at first, like a simple headache and see what happens. See if you absorb their pain and see if it dissipates when you are no longer touching that person. You need to learn what this does to you, so that the next time some one is in such great pain, you will know just how much of their pain you want to absorb in order to help them and not harm yourself.

I know this isn’t going to be as peace and light as the rest are, so:

Lighten up young lady, you’ve got it, so you have to live with it, or spend the rest of your life denying it. Not so fun, believe me.
Peace.
