“The Gift”
We all have the ability to, “sense.”
Our bodies ability to naturally react to circumstances, based on need, is instinctive[1]instinct (n.) early 15c., “a prompting” (a sense now obsolete), from Old French instinct (14c.) or directly from Latin instinctus “instigation, impulse, inspiration,” noun use … Continue reading. This impulse behavior is part of our “hardware” as it’s been said. Our Souls response, to situations, without prior information or experience, is intuitive; it is the subtle feeling of surety of “knowing” even if it’s brief. Intuition[2]Intuition – mid-15c., intuicioun, “insight, direct or immediate cognition, spiritual perception,” originally theological.[3]In the 17th century scholastic philosophers started to use the word in its modern meaning, as in the following context: “the spiritual perception or immediate knowledge, ascribed to angelic and … Continue reading access’s Soul or Divine information. (Spiritual perspective)
Both use our senses differently; sense then react vs sense to react. When we speak in terms of energy, not science or psychology, both intuition & instincts are innate[4]I’d like to add, from a metaphysical perspective, that DNA holds memory from Soul; this In response to those who can’t pull away from instincts being purely biology.; they’re in the same spectrum of vibration.
This Gift or 6th Sense uses the balance of both instincts & intuition. We are using both body & Spirit; we’re not down here as orbs.
We all are born with ‘the Ability,’ however, some of us are more ‘in tune’ or aligned to “Sense” things out of the ordinary. This ability, to sense, in our society’s near past is uncommon. Science demanded facts, religion caused fear from sin and this type of culture looked down on anything different. We became dependent on receiving validation outwardly instead of going inward; pulling us further away from Sensing.
To Sense is to go inward for direction and answers. It is also our capability to feel the energy “outside” of, or around us. To develop any type of psychic gift it is important for us to practice tuning in.
Tuning into your natural gift(s) really is tuning into Self (Spirit – our own energy). There are alot of psychic abilities (our blog has info). Psychic abilities are just a translation of energy or energy interpretation of whatever is being channeled. We interpret this information, from whatever psychic ability is being used, through our own perspectives. What you may perceive as a dark shadow from your peripheral and scares you, I might pick up as, uncle Fred popping in to say hello. The difference is practicing this ability to sense energy.
Spiritual Activity & energy is happening around us, possibly affecting us, even when we are unaware of it. Fine tuning your ‘sensing’ or psychic ability empowers ‘the will’ allowing for control.
Q & A
Why me? Why my Child? Why a loved one?
As mentioned earlier we all have the ability to sense things that cannot be seen or explained. We are all born with it. However, some of us are more aware.
Some possibilities of the “why’s” could stem from,
- Coming from a line of sensitives (those with psychic abilities / Healers) again speaking in terms of energy we’re not only socialized to behavior we are socialized to energy. This type of energetic knowledge can be transferred by generation.
- Childhood / Adult trauma that causes imbalance and the effects turn the switch on so to say.
- The Spirit’s choice for its journey in this realm. Some kinda Karma.
Why not me?
- Maybe it’s not a part of your soul’s path to dive deeper into the metaphysical. Normally this question is used when people are comparing gifts. Being able to tune into Self is a skill; which if strengthened can “open” one up to other abilities. Seeing that you’re seeking answers here it certainly is going to be a part of your journey somehow.
- Forcing a connection, Comparing, overthinking, fear, etc. are blockages.
- Last, you may not have opened up yet due to upbringing.
Is it safe? What’s the Dangers?
I cannot see anything innate, natural & a part of our essence being unsafe.
However, there are some of these aspects that can cause issues…
- Jumping into spiritual activity such as hauntings, poltergeist, and or any type of spiritual communication without.
- Strengthen your senses, becoming more knowledgeable in theses areas & not taking precautions ( protective exercises & tools).
- As your gifts become stronger there is a possibility that ego can become addicted to the “power.” You may be tempted to do what you deem as “wrong” which could attract negativity to you.
- This realm is still uncomfortable for many so you may experience more negative or uncertain behaviors towards your psychic gift(s) versus not being safe.
I’ve been told I have a psychic ability, the gift, or that I am a Healer is it true?
- Very Cool! Your intuition led you here or to other spiritualists to search for answers, seeing that it “feels” it’s true.
- For those of us who sincerely say this to people, we’re prompted to.
- Yes, we all have the psychic gift of tuning in. Some of us know when we are young and others become more aware later in life. The person who told you did his/her job by revealing it to you.
- It’s your Spirit that wants to learn at this point and time. Your guides, Spirit team and or Ancestors, whatever your belief may be, made sure it happened at the perfect time according to your life’s plan.
What if I or the person I love doesn’t want to “see,” hear, or dream etc scary stuff?
- If you don’t want to, Don’t. Set the intent of how you would like to “open up” or become aware. This is our Divine Right.
- If you’re already experiencing this there are different types of protection and cleansing techniques; we have a few on our blog.
How can I develop my abilities?
- Research
- Follow Healers, Psychic, Gurus, Spiritualist, Shamans etc that “you” vibe with; on, their social accounts, blogs, read their books, try their programs or exercises etc.
- Practice. Everyone wants to skip this part & go 0 to 100.
- Don’t compare. You’re on your own path. There’s no levels in this stuff, it’s all personal journey. There’s so much more I wanna do spiritually but, I’m not there yet and…that’s okay.
- Bottom line is no matter what psychic abilities you’re trying to develop, work on the basics which is strengthening your skill to “Sense” and become more aware of energy.
