(((((( Goalie))))) LOL Nothing like Moms intuition. My kids laugh when they lie, so that was a dead give a way..LOL..JN

No I dont have any recent activity in my life right now...this house we bought brand spankin new...so...all is quiet here lol.

I do read tarot cards tho....not sure if that would be considered a "gift" per se, but ive read for people and they were pretty freaked out by it lol...

My gift is: making spiritual margaritas.
JN is a spiritual hottie.

Thats good news..Hey, I used to read cards too, and had darn good accuracy. I would say it is a gift. I didnt know what the cards meant (LOL) I just picked up names, images and all sorts of things just from one card alone. It was alot of fun..JN

My gift is drinking spiritual margaritas with Eric:
Eric is a skeptical hunk of burnin love..

BOOO YA!!!

wish I knew... sometimes I dream about somethign at night be it a trip somewhere or visiting with family and days weeks months go by and it happens in real life right down to the last detail

One ability that i discovered lately was having dreams that do come true. It seems like I'm having premonitions...
Another one is that I have a keen sense for entities...
that's all...

Thats great especially the premonitions surfacing in your dreams..What do you sense when there is an entity around you? JN

WOW That is freaky huh? Things that make ya go "hummmmmmmmmmmmmm." Do you write those dreams down at the time, so you can refer back to them? JN

I can breath....

Would that be a gift?

Naaah thats a shame LOL....JN

Awwwww. D:

LOL I couldnt help myself (((Drayno)))...JN

my gift is to see a friend that passed away a few weeks ago. i donnt know how i do or why it just sorta happens. When i see him i look him in the eye, i try to connect with his energy and just communicate.

I can read a person upon first meeting them. I also experience deja vu quite often. I have learned to keep it to myself. People look at you funny when you keep finishing their sentences. I can feel death. It's a certain smell. I stay away from hospitals cuz they make me sick. I believe it is not paranormal. I think some people just know their minds and bodies.

AWWWWWWWWWW Im sorry for your loss..Your seeing him, just re-enforces the fact, that death is not the end..Pray for him too, and from what I know, they hear it and appreciate it..JN

Thats awesome. I can read people but its random, its not everyone. Its best not to blurt it out, cause they DO look at you funny LOL..So you can smell death, but hospitals in general make you sick? Is that linked somehow? JN

Ive always been able to see/feel peoples emotions like it was a facial expression.

I have to be looking at them, however I can get bursts of strong emotions if im not looking at them, but it has to either be strong or directed at me.

I grew up with this so I assumed everyone else was the same way, I found out that I was wrong.

Same here

oops double post, but as the guy said above I can get a general low down on someones personality after a few quick glances, its so hard to tell people that their boyfriend/girlfriends are deceptive a******s and have them not believe in your instincts.

I had this really weird experience a couple of years ago. This old man used to frequent this same place as I. Everytime I got close to him, I would have a panic attack. I got sick. I had this dreadful feeling around him. I never spoke to him. The end of the summer rolled around and I was reading the newspaper. Front page: Mr. White charged in child pornography ring. It was the old man I could not approach. After that I knew what I was feeling. I have a hard time going to busy places eg: malls, theaters etc...because of this "gift". Haven't figured out how to turn it off yet....

I think I might be sensitive,just a bit....or really paranoid XD.Cant tell sometimes.I also have that thing where you feel other's pain*It's more of a curse really,if the person feels sad,I feel more depressed and run down,but if a persons happy,i'm happy X)*Empathy...that's it.lol

I used to think that I could have some form of communication with those who had passed on to the "other side". In-fact, I had gotten some really weird results that sort of freaked me out. I remember one time I was in an online chat room, and this person had no idea who I was. I just randomly started talking to them, and I just had the feeling to say "Your grandfather says hello..." and she said "Wow, that's freaky. My grandfather is the only person who is passed in my family". Pretty weird.

I can fire thunderbolts from my fingertips. And talk as much crap as i want. Im truly gifted

My gut feeling and my thirst for passion, It can be some what overpowering.
I can touch my nose with my tongue and I have very quick reflexes.

"DIG"

Well xCrimsonx. I think my thunderbolt fingers could beat ur long tongue any day off the week lol. I think u might get me with the reflexes though. hehehe

I tend to be very sensitive to other people's feelings. I can feel people's emotions coming off them in waves. It's strange. It is a bit of a hindrance dealing with people day to day. I have had to learn techniques to control it to some degree, or I would never leave the house. LOL

No I do not write down the dreams unfortunately.

This is kind of wierd but when I was born and mum was checking me over like most mums do...10 fingers,10 toes, 2 of everything he should have.. great. It was then that she noticed something wrong with my ear. I was born with a second hole on my right ear and when she asked the doctor about this, he told my Mum that it meant I was gifted...

I sometimes have premonitions. You know, just silly things. A song from say, the nineties will come in to my head, 2 seconds later, its on the radio randomly. I sometimes see faces in things. I'll look at something, and straight away, I'll see a face or a shape. Could be a tree, a cloud, a teapot, a jumper- anything. Quite weird.
I sometimes get words popping up into my head for no reason. Like I'll meet someone, and I'll get the words "Bad tempered" or something. Even if they dont look bad tempered or whatever.

My mum sometimes see's things when she looks at people. She was once in a cafe when she looked over at a perfectly normal lady enjoying a cup of tea with a friend, when she saw the lady in a coffin, her hair scraped back in a bun, wearing a long grey dress. My mum was really shaken up by that.
She gets pretty strong telepathy too. You can be thinking about calling her and just as you've decided not too, your phone will ring and she'll say, you were thinking about me. That freaks me out lol.

I am somewhat of an empathic. I ALWAYS know when the people around me are not "OK", even if I do not know them very well. I have also been know to go into panic/anxiety attacks for "no reason" only to find out later something bad/stressful happened to someone very close to me, or that they were in/near a dangerous situation.
Friends have also told me I have a "healing touch" and that they feel much better physically after a back rub or a massage from me.

WOW Thats pretty amazing. I believe the doc was correct.JN

I know being empathic can cause a rush of emotions that are like a roller coaster and its not easy. The Healing aspect is part of being Empathic, and a wonderful gift..Thanks for sharing..JN

HMM interesting that you should word it that way. I was wrongfully diagnosed Bi-Polar in my teen years.....

AWWWWWWWW..Empathics feel others pain, grief, anger and fear and every other emotion we experience, and spirits as well. So when you heal, you are taking their pain away, into you, if that makes sense? JN

Wow your are going to give the "nail" a headache! LOL Thank you for your insight. I have long been at a lack of words for this! Bi-Polar is described as an "Emotional Roller Coaster". In bouts of despair wrought by desperation and confusion in my teen years, I often said I took the pain of others into myself to try and make sense of the depression to myself. However I often noted that I must also have given them so of my own happiness as well. I eventually realized soon there would be nothing left! My true passion in life is helping others. But I have found that I must often take breaks and personal time to keep myself positively charged so that I do not became bitter. (and I did for quite a while) It also helps to note that some people do not benefit from being helped. They come to expect it and become lazy and fall further behind. Many of them were using me, but I was blinded by the naive, but very real concept, that everyone has good in them somewhere.

Sorry they diagnosed you as that, but telling that to a doctor sounds like Bipolar Disorder to them, anyway, and the symptoms are very similar. Do you take medication now for that? There are also techniques to block some of the emotions from others, if it truly interferes with your daily life and nor sleep? JN

LOL I understand. Could you post your techniques to help the other poster? Thank you..JN

i dont have a gift but that ok not every one has a gift and if i do have one i dont know about it

Thats okay too! JN

*sad music plays*

I was placed in therapy by my parents after the signs of my gift surfaced. They saw my depression very early on. I was showing signs in the sixth grade. Mostly during sessions with the Dr. I was discussing the incidents around the cause of my "outbursts". I often got into very bad arguments with friends and family because they "don't understand". I did not even have any idea myself what was going on. "Typical teenage behavior". The Dr NEVER to my recollection asked me to describe my inner feelings. Probably because he "already knew, he wasn't born yesterday". I finally started to figure it out around the age of twenty-one. One of the stipulations of my therapy was "no more weird stuff", IE, ghosts, late night adventures, studies of any kind on magic or paranormal, no more black, no "Goth stuff". Translation: I was completely unable to do any research, or even really embrace this and be myself, until I was eighteen.
They had me on twenty-seven different types of medication over a six year period. They were "trying to find the right combination to create a therapeutic level". Ironically, for some people, if you do not actually have the condition, it can actually make you worse. I stopped taking all of them on my own right before I made a lot of huge life changing decisions. Everyone agrees that I am much better without the medication.(also they have proved that the chemical makeup of the human body changes every seven years. I was medicated from fourteen until twenty-one)
The affect it has on my sleep (if any) cannot be helped because I am naturally a nighttime person. I sleep during "normal hours of activity", and I am the most awake and alert during "paranormal hours of activity". LOL Sleeping with music does wonders. If I do not distract my mind I will lay awake and focus on every sound I hear, including conversations.
And the way I reduce my interaction with my gift: I discovered quite by accident that I can even "feel" the emotion in a TEXT message! Or an IM and in E-Mail. I keep to myself and only go out with positive people whom I know will support me in a positive manner.

GOOD FOR YOU!!!! Being proactive with our medical/mental health issues is the most important gift we can give ourselves. Doctor's are not Gods even though some think they are. Seems you have it all under control, and I am proud of you. I sleep with a light on, and a fan, cause like you, I will look around all the time or worse "listen." I am a night owl too, and always have been, and that has its advantages and disadvantages. Yes Bipolar disorder can worsen as one gets older and other symptoms can emerge such as rage, paranoia and other negative things. Keep up the good work!! JN

Thank you! Encouragement is nice, I have plenty. And a few promising a "boot up my ^%$" if I do not stick to it....
LOL There are three Army boys in our crew.

You are very welcome. LMAO OUCH..Yea I would stick to it if I were you..

Hey JN, I forgot one. But I have a question:Do you know about "dousing"/divination? The art of predicting the future by "reading" tea leaves, or "seeing" the future in smoke, water or a flame. It is almost always inaccurate, unless you are very skilled, because the "answer" is a symbolic image that must be interpreted. How does it differ from scrying? I have another unique ability that I forgot about because I almost never use it. Mostly because I cannot use it at will. Stress or very peaceful inner calm are the only emotions that seem to activate it. OK this is going to sound insane because I really do not know how to describe it. I do not know if this happens to you, but when you close your eyes, and it is dark, do you ever see how the darkness behind your eye lids seem not to be completely black? And the different less dark shade will seem to swirl with the blackness? Yeah this sounds real stupid I know. Well for me, the other color seems kind of purple. Often, when I meditate(which is not so often) I will see peaceful images in the swirling shades. Usually I see butterflies. I lost someone close to me and he used to call me his "little butterfly". However on three occasions since I was twenty-four, this ability saved me from potential harm. While lost in the woods at night, I was "shown" a marker to look for, which led me safely out to the road. Another time when I was in a deep depression, the images conjured up gave me peace of mind and showed to best decision to make. And the most recent one was only a month ago. The son of a friend of had gotten in with the wrong crowd. His new girlfriend lives an hour out in BFE, in all Amish country. Out in the very middle, there is one tiny town with phones and electricity. He had three passengers from out there in his car. Because his car was not so reliable that night, we, His father, my BF and I, were following him. This area feels like a dead zone, a place with an intense feeling of emptiness and nothingness. Our ancient Dodge RAM is a gas glutton. $100 a day as a daily commuter! We only had it that night for some heavy lifting. We were just about to reach a point of no return. "Turn back now or run out of gas". Now I am not a Christian, but this time my little swirls showed me two separate consecutive images. A tall white, pointed church steeple, with a cross. And a strange circular shape with a wide line across it. Well about five minutes later, I saw the church with an exact matching steeple. And suddenly learned the second shape was the gas gage. It was two miles from bone dry empty! My boyfriend had told me many times before and has since "You DO NOT want to break down out here!" is it downright creepy! Desolate with NO streetlights of ANY kind. That would have been us if he had not turned around for gas ASAP/PDQ! Well our friend had no cell phone and his girlfriend was on the verge of turning into a pumpkin so he did not turn around for us. Thankfully he made it home safely though.

I always seem to pick up strongly on people's negative sides and any "bad" intentions they might have within a few seconds of meeting them. People say I'm full of negative energy, but I say I just see people for who they really are. I find I'm usually quite accurate, I can think about whats going to happen to them and it usually does. I think its just good observation skills though.

Also I can fold my legs over my elbows and balance on my hands

I don’t know if this is a Gift or not. In the while we were in British Columbia vacationing, we had visited some graveyards. I’m sure that we had missed a few along the way bec the speeds were 130-140km/hr and the scenery was awesome. There is this one cemetery that is by the Victoria shoreline that I always loved to walk around in and take various pictures. We drove into the cemetery 15 mins b4 the time the caretakers were closing the gates and the only thing that I read on the sign was I was allowed to drive in n park. The road was quite small only enuff for one vehicle. We were in there for about an hour looking at all the beautiful gravestones-I will post the pictures but Lynn has my camera charger and my memory stick does not work. Anyway, we went back to the van and went the way that we had came in. We discovered the gate was closed and I panicked. I slowly backed up and went another way but the path were getting smaller and smaller and branched. At times, we would end up at grave or the extremity of the paths. I finally see this guy standing by an grave and I drove up to him. I asked if there were a way to get out. He walks up to the window saying openly that we were from Saskatchewan. I was shocked and I asked him on how he knew that, but he only told us confusing directions to the gate that is always unlocked. Again, slowly backing up feeling more stranger n thinking on theories on how the hell did he know that we were from SK. I don’t have a licence plate number, but only a picture of a wolf in the front of the van. We had finally found our way out and went on to the Canada Day fireworks. Along the way, I was looking at all the ppl that were walking to the fireworks and I light-heartedly said to Lynn that I see dead people. She only smiled and shook her head.
Is there a Ghost in my house?

He said, "You ppl are from Prince Albert."

Hi again and NO I dont douse or use any tool to predict anything, as they ususally come in dreams, or images/flashes during the day. Yes, when I close my eyes I see blacker than black and other things, but those are all floater type things, that I try to ignore. These things are normal, and I think you are just more aware of them, thats all. Your stories are awesome, so I guess its possible your spirit guide helped you out of potentially dangerous situations. Sounds to me like you have great instincts, and a guardian angel as well..JN

Apparently through meditation we can somehow increase our senses, but I'm not sure if that's true or not. I don't think I have any abilities, at least not that I know of, from time to time I'll say stuff to my friend and they'll say that somebody just said a similar thing to them, but i say a lot of things so I'm gonna put that down to a co-incidence.
