Can anyone out there please please help me. People have told me that I have special gifts. I can interact with spirits in dreams and while awake I know they are there but can't see them but know what they are feeling, thinking, or can see them without being in the area they are in. Like when people talk about an encounter I can describe their physical appearance. And people always ask how do I know that. Most the time they just freak out.
I can also feel, sense, think about what people are feeling. So much I don' know how to control all of the emotions coming at me. Sometimes it can be so overwhelming I break down. When I become emotionally connected with someone sometimes I can read their thoughts or know when something is wrong with them. But sometimes it takes me awhile to figure out who it is and sometimes I just know.

I also know when someone is going to die. (but i really don't know why I can sense that)

Can someone PLEASE tell me what is happening to me. Lately these things have been getting stronger and I feel like I am losing my mind! HEELLPP!

Hi there! Welcome to life as a psion, eh?
Anyhow, all these things are natural, and certainly shouldn't become overwhelming and to the point where you wouldn't want them.
What you need to do, is read about how to shield. If you do that, then that should cut out all these problems. You won't go hearing unwanted thoughts, won't get overwhelmed with everyone's feelings, and should be much happier for it.
Once you do that, you're learn to filter. Filtering can be a good thing.
I learned how to do it, but in truth? After so many years of getting top thoughts of everyone I glance at, and then it all of a sudden being so hushed inside my own head, it was just TOO weird for me. And I went back to being more open again. So to each their own, huh?
As for knowing when someone's going to die? From what I've read online, it's not one of the more popular gifts, but it's VERY useful, no? Try to think of it that way. I mean, if you know it, and believe in your talent, just think about it as, a last chance to see anyone off. Most people do not have that notice, and feel that there's always something more they wish they could say to that person fore they'd died. You won't have to worry on that. If you know about it coming, then take advantage and let that person know anything you want them to. Soon (if not yet), you'll probably be able to detect sickness in others too. And I don't mean colds, I mean things like hospital worthy. And if it's someone you care about, you can warn them. If it's someone you dislike, just smile.
And, aside from the weird looks? Who cares. Well, most times. My husband tends to get creeped out by me. Between me knowing when death is coming, illness, or finishing everyone's sentences for them. One time, I asked him what a tumor was (as I didn't know), but when he asked why, I told him an online friend of mine had one. I finally got a hold of her and told her, and two days later after a doctors' visit, it turned out to be a tumor. He didn't talk to me for THREE days! That sucked. But honestly? Aside from that, I really don't care what people think or how others feel about me.
I don't wear it on my sleeve (that I have gifts), but I sure get stared at a LOT. It gets annoying and is also funny.
So? If anyone asks, and you feel like telling them anything, just say it's a gift, or, it's a talent I've always had.

I'm pretty sure somewhere here there's how to's on shielding. It's all very easy. Long story short, imagine the strongest material surrounding yourself. Me, I imagine a stone dome surrounding myself, like a castle wall type. Me on the inside, and the stone dome let's NOTHING through. You can get more detailed, but that's about it. And in the beginning, it's best to check on it, and do this a few times a day.
Wish you the best of luck trying to get this under control.

Thank You SOOOO much for replying to me. I am really feeling lost and alone when it comes to this stuff. And just hearing that I am not alone helps so much. I will work on the shield. And as for the healing stuff I can kind of do it. Its not strong but sometimes I am SOOOO right on the money. These gifts that I have help me so much in the healthcare field.

Nope. You're definitely not alone. There's plenty of us, if you can just weed through all the fakes. Have you had a knack for sensing if others online (or off for that matter) are really psions (psychics)?
And yeah, I can only imagine how helpful it would be having such gifts in the medical industry. Me own mum used to be a nurse when she was younger. But she was weak, and couldn't handle being around death all the time. So she couldn't stick with it.

Interesting. Momo, the shielding definately helps, but when you get in a situation like Walmart at Christmas or helping at relief shelters, there's not much you can do. As far as I've found, the shielding helps with everyday stuff so EVERYTHING doesn't bombard, but I can't shut everything out.

Guess what I've found, though. At night when I'm by myself on the computer or whatever, that's when I can feel and hear the spirits best. They can sometimes be pesterlicious, lol. I got an Ipod for Christmas. I've found that when I plug my ears up, listen to music, it kind of breaks the available "silence" and helps me tune them out somewhat. Granted, if they want my attention, they'll get it regardless. It also helped me tune out others' emotions when I'm out and about. I use it when I travel (airports and such), too.

Wae, I never thought these things, "gifts" or whatever you'd like to call them, would work online. They do. I could tell lots of stories, lol.

Thanks guys for your responses. Wae I am still learning but i do get some sense of people online. I think it's more intuition than anything. You know following my gut feeling. And I just hope my gut is right.

Wannabe your response are comforting too. I am just so relieved that I haven't been attacked. Thanks for the support from both!!!


As far as stores and X-mas and crowds forget about it. I can't handle it. I have to leave. In fact it's so disturbing to me (crowds) that I avoid them. It's feels like I am in the middle of everyone as if they were all surrounding me in a circle yelling their feelings at me. Sometimes it feels like time is standing still when that happens.

momo4u I can also "sense"/feel when "spirits" are close to me..and if they are to annoying just think in your head something like that: could you "Guy(s)/spirit(s) just leave me alone?

for me that works,they do mostly leave but sometimes they come back later.
and for empathy as said before psionic shielding.
I have had a feeling (once) like being pushed..
if i remember right thats just what a medium does(working with spirits)

Yeah, I can't deal with crowds. I nearly knocked the reciept checker in Walmart over last year trying to get out of the store. I just try to do my Christmas and/or holiday shopping early.

EU, what you have to remember is to just be courteous. They want to be treated like you want to be treated. Often, they don't mind coming back later, lol.

That is true.
You need to set boundaries, and say NO.
Set a time that they are welcome, and a time when they are not.
If they try to interfere when you do not wish it, say out loud NO!
Eventually you will be able to control your SELF.
Being empathic is also being aware when you take on the emotions of others.
I had a tough time with this, understanding where my own emotions were coming from.
In a lot of instances, I realized that I took on the emotions of others, the snarly waitress, the angry bank teller...etc...
Realize that you are very suseptable to transferrence.
This is why you need to develop your understandings of shields and expand your knowledge of your inner self, so you can then see when you have taken on emotions that are not yours.

ohh yes they do! atleas to me..(come back)
and thanks to my sheilds I don't have any problems dealing with large crowds
for me it sometimes just seem that they are just visiting me(or somebody in my home)
because if I ask like "are you here to visit me?"
I feel a really freezing "wind"(and I guess this is suposed to be something like yes)
and now i know that to after seeing a film..so i try to "talk" to them..(i don't have one here
and i don't reaaly know how many but i guess about 2-4 spirits)
some times I have seen "heads" (only) hovering around,"other times i have seen them in
whole"

Aa far as spirits goes I think I have experinced everything. I also think thats my parents house was some kind of window or portal. And you are completly right when I tell them No or go away they did and often came back but I remember seeing a lot of good spirits and constantly fighting with bad ones. Never hurt just emotionally drained but once they physically attacked my brother. But since I am out of my parents house my life with spirits almost is non existence but I always know when they are there. I have learned to block them out but with emotions I am Having a REAL HARD time. This emotion thing is realling killing me. IS it normal to have a complete breakdown when dealing with your own emotional stress. ANd I know its absolutley my emotion. But lately I can't get a grasp on it. Is there anything else besides the shield and meditation. I can't find my own shield and meditation I am still learning I ALWAYS fall asleep.

I am not sure if it is normal to have such an break down..
but i guess it's diffrent from person to person.
I have never fallen asleep when i meditate

I fall asleep, lol. I originally started the meditation to HELP me fall asleep. Anyway, that's fine. Emotional overload is not abnormal at all. I wish I could tell you how to stop it, but I can't. I just tend to avoid situations that would cause it. Sometimes, that's not possible. I've had instances where I got overloaded and blocked the entire experience from my memory. This only happened a couple of times, though. Hubby said at those times I just acted kind of distant. I was aware and jumpy, but "there", lol.

Anyway, one of the most often asked questions is how do we deal with this? The answer? I don't know. I've had this all my life. It's just part of me. We do what we do without really thinking about it.

Hi Momo4u, I too am a sensitive, empathy being a curse or so it seems. What benefit is there for us? Oh ya we feel the others pain, and can approach them to comfort but would only be brushed off as a nut-job. When it gets to be too much, I ask my spirit guides to shield and block that which I am too sensitive to at that particular time. Simply talk to your guides as though they were incarnate friends.

Sort of off topic, you write like a Brit, if so .... are you aware of a higher than normal number of psychically gifted folks in the British Isles? It just seems to be that way, at least from my perspective.

twopits

Nah I am American. I also notice that there are a lot of brits. I kind of think too that maybe they are more open to talk about the unknown whereas in the US it's kind of a taboo. Or Americans just think if you are a lil different they think you are crazy or just fake.

Someone else has mentioned to me the spirit guide thing. I just don't know how to do that. I did a lot of things as a child but as an adult its almost as like i have forgotten. I am assuming the way I put up "my wall" with the spirits is the same way to block out the emotions. But for some reason its not the same with me. If I put the block up people perceive me as cold and distant. I guess it just takes time. Maybe years to learn how to deal with the "gift" I think right now I am just stressed and just need someone to talk to. I need to do some more reading on the spirit guide and shielding.

Does anyone have any good sited to look at. Wannabeskeptic I DIDN'T forget about you.

I would suggest that you contact a spiritual advisor, a shaman may help.
You appear to have issues that can not be resolved by discussions here.
You have an imbalance occurring, and I suggest you get some help.
You have opened a portal that your mind can not comprehend and it is overwhelming you.
Good luck




Curse???
How old are you?
So what if they think you are a nut job.
Unless you yourself are looking for gratification of some sort, or use your talents to think you are better than others, then you are using your gift incorrectly.
The information is to be relayed, not interpreted, and thats it.
What they do with the information is up to them.

When I see comments like " what benefit is there for us", I know you are NOT empathic.
Sensitive perhaps, empathy....no way.
May I suggest Tarot cards
.

aren't you a hostile little turtle

Sorry was mixing up you with "wae cho".

As for asking you guides for help just speak out and simple say "spirit guides please block that which I find overwhelming", find your own words, as in anything belief is paramount to success.

Good luck and don't dispair

Hostle, perhaps, of ignorance which your post displays in living colour.
When you realize that you have this gift for a reason, and thinking in terms of personal gain, whilst being ignorant of the simple rule that you get what you give, come and talk to me.
Your personal gain, BTW, comes in ways that you can not even fathom, because you fail to see even the basic intricacies of love, innerconnectedness and illusion.
As long as you keep looking at your gift through the vista of "what's in it for me" you will never understand my first post to you.
You seem like a nice enough person, but thinking yopur gift makes you better than everyone else is so wrong for the simple reason is that you are not separate.
Understand that and perhaps things will begin to make sense to you.

I have heard a lot now about shielding on these pages. It is right, that it is an easy way to close out lots of things. But you have to be aware about the fact that you close out some of the "good" stuff as well, which will protect and guide you.
There's another thing to it. It's better to learn to deal with the things, send the spirits away and so on instead of just closing them out. That means they're still there. According to other people's feelings you have to learn to divide it so you for sure know what is yours and what is others. It's a part of "growing up".
Now to come with a manifest example: all around the world and in Television and so on we see things we don't like. But closing them out doesn't help us solve any problems about hunger or war. To take a concrete example, when you see a scary movie you say to yourself, as afraid as you might be, "it's only television" though it's real. You have to do the same with emotions. You have to learn to divide instead of shielding; when you get really good at this you can even do this unconscious, so you don't feel bothered.

With other words, ghosts, Vamps, demons etc. - send them away!
While you're under severe attack, shielding can be good, but it doesn't solve all your problems.
What I do, is: I have so-to-speak built up an answering machine. In the beginning they are divided into kategories (like "press 6 if you are a ghost, leave your message or come by when the office is open"... ). The same with other people's feelings. Then you won't be bothered through the day. Ok, a couple of times a week you then look into your message-box.
Now I know, this doesn't solute everything. Some ghosts that are extremely strong will be able to break your banner (this new physic law you have made), that means they might contact you anyway in your consciousness. Again: Send them away. There are lots of ways to do so. But honestly, if your white light is strong enough, the ones who don't want help to cross to the other world (so-to-say the baddies:-) most of the time don't even dare to get close to you. As many as you send away, as bigger your reputation will be amongst them. And you will be left more and more in peace.
But I want to agree to one thing: Shielding is a good start and it's a good protection while you learn all this.

If you have any question of how to do this in paticular, you're welcome to contact me.

You can look up other pages I've posted recently regarding the "ghost-haunting"-forum. There are lots of people with your abilities to sense or see things.

Kind regards, Stine
