Why Do Some Of Us Have Extra Sensory Gifts?

I think many more people have this type of gift or perhaps it is a skill to be honed... Many do not listen to or believe it.

Probably as it is drummed out of people as silly or just a coincidence. I know it is drummed out of kids.
I always encouraged my kids to listen to their gut feeling or nagging thought ......but if they share that.... others may ridicule them.

I have some feelings and i listen to them has kept me perhaps out of accidents etc ...
strong feeling to not take this exit or not go down road.
Or wait before leaving ... i did not heed it once someone hit and totaled my car.

i also have had dreams of a house a day or two before
and then was invited over by a friend only to find the house was hers.

Why us? I’ve never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth. What would be nice, however, would be to learn how to better refine or focus potential psychic gifts…

When i learned to meditate i learned i could use the self-hypnosis aspect of it to do just that.

An interesting thing happens to most who are trying to use their gifts to do good in the world: Often we get overwhelmed by how well it can work, what can be accomplished--- especially hard for those who were given the impression at an early age that life is not supposed to be easy. We end up taking breaks from using them (tho some can't be 'turned off' we can just turn down the volume).

The good news is that in my experience you don't have to start from square one when ready to take on the responsibility again. You can regain the level you were functioning at pretty quickly.

To me the key is consciousness, the 'mind', 'soul', essence of an individual that is more than just a by-product of the physical brain (which itself is more amazing than most people realize) and familial/social conditioning.

Our physical reality is not the only reality and there are intersections with other dimensions/planes of reality. Our consciousness is not bound by space/time constructs of physcal reality because it is not OF this reality. It's origin and home is in a nonphysical 'place'.
 
Everyone on the planet is born with Extra Sensory Perception or gifts, whatever one wishes to call it. No one is special because of it. It was given by Nature to protect. However, for many it is underused, and for the charlatans, it is abused.

Noise and unfriendly environments mask our abilities to sense things. We can all tap into our sixth sense however if we wish and try hard enough.

I have been told that I have healing hands but I have never explored this. I wonder if it would work on myself.

I believe I could be a healer too and wondered the same as you. Within the last couple of years, I've actually just commanded my pain to stop and it did! At first I did it jokingly but since it worked, I tried it again Those might have been minor pains in my leg or foot but I haven't tried it with anything major. @Mike
 
I just call it intuition or a gut feeling. I ignored it for well over half my life, and even for a time after that I was uncertain if what was happening was real or I was just being over sensitive or imagining things.

These days I don’t ignore that spidey sense when it happens. It could be a sudden knowledge about someone, a sense that I need to wait 5 minutes before I start driving, a flash of understanding about the family I do not know in a home I walk past, a foreboding, a bad feeling.

Some of these things I can prove, some I can’t. I mean, how do you prove that something that was going to happen to you didn’t happen because you waited an extra five minutes? Or that the unknown family behind that closed door is grief stricken because Mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer? I’m sure not gonna knock on the door to find out.

I just go with it. Very occasionally I will get a sense about one of my kids. I warned my daughter a few years ago NOT to travel with an acquaintance to a birthday party. She respected my gut feelings enough to pay attention. The friend had an accident on the way, was T-boned at an intersection, on the passenger side where my daughter would have sat.

I am not psychic, but I have healing hands, that can
take pain away at least, I can also see "Auras", many
different colours.

One thing that has intrigued me over the years is if
I think of somebody who was a friend many years
ago, but we have been out of contact for a long time,
I think, that, that person has died and is saying bye.

There is no real proof that, this is correct, but I have found
later that he/she has died, though I never noted the date
when I thought about them.

This may seem strange to some, but my life has been one
big long journey, never staying in one place for long, this
is why I forget friends/acquaintances quite often.

When was part of a Silva Meditation Method Graduates' group i learned to do 'remote' healings. Did get affirmative feedback a fe times. But for me it was helpful in my development to get feedback that i was actually perceiving the target person. Which is why i preferred cases presented by others in the group and not from the card file the group leader had of people in 'need'.

At about 3 months along a case from that file caused me to refuse any more of them. The cards had age, gender, location and what was known health issue. However the 'healer' was not told the health issue till after we did our thing, sometimes found other issues as well. This case was a forty something female. Location given, but wrong as i learned.

When i tuned in i usually 'saw' a sort of silhouette of their body with serious issues glowing shade of red, and would visualize laying hands on the problem area and send healing, some actually feeling things like firmness or softness if flesh or if feverish. But this woman was just grey/green silhouette--whole form. And when i visualized touching her shoulder cause there was no clue where to start it was cold and 'squishy' till i hit bone.

The only time i ever bailed on a case. I told the others i could not find anything ,'treatable' nor could i sense anything about her personality as i often did. What's more, it was distinctly unpleasant. When we asked if anything as known about her, turned out the card should have been purged. She'd been dead and buried for months.
~~~~~
Being a very visually oriented person i often picked up on physical details not related to the injury or illness but very specific to the person. One case i saw a man more clearly than usually but only from waist up clad in an Aloha shirt. (I thought maybe the vividness of shirt caught all my attention) There was a frenzy type feeling as his upper half darted around a bare room with a door in each wall. He could open them but not go thu them, and my perception was the issue had more to do with his feelings/attitude than his physical problem. So i did a general healing.

I related all that to his acquaintance who had asked me to 'work' the case: The target always wore Aloha shirts, was a paraplegic confined to wheelchair who frequently referred to himself as 'half a man', he had been offered various treatments, rehab and emotional therapy that could have helped him have a productive and even enjoyable life, but he refused it all (all those doors he couldn't/wouldn't go thru). The one case i dearly wished for an update on but never got. Yes i could have 'tuned in' again, but that would have been a violation of his privacy much greater than healing attempt. It is part of why i stopped doing specific healings unless the afflicted person asked. I'll pray for, send light at request of family or friends, but just general healing energy.

Ronni, I don't think you're alone as far as wondering if what you are sensing is real. As much as I've had knowings and precognitive dreams that came true, I still question myself.....until what I sensed or dreamed proves to be true. Like you, sometimes I'll sense something is going on with (usually) an individual but can't necessarily prove it. That's amazing about your daughter. I once went to a reader who was excellent. Giving readings was her side gig; she was a teacher and sung in a band with her husband. She said she told her daughter not to take a flight and her daughter listened, thankfully. The plane crashed!

I am open to alternative therapies. Remote healing, that would be great if more people were open to it ,plus it would help our overloaded health care system and maybe find the problem in ones body instead of invasive treatments.

The one caveat with remote healng, IMO, is that the afficted person has to want it, be ready for it. Healing, whether of physical or emotional injuries is rarely a painless process. One of my sisters had the same course and belonged to same group that practiced it, just several years before i did. She used it on our father's blind eye without asking or telling him.

The scar tissue that caused the problem had existed for almost 50 years and was from an injury when he was two years old and blocked all visual input to that eye. He had functioned fine despite it: Read voraciously, drove, served in Merchant Marines in WWII because it did disqualify him from the services.


When the scar dissolved, admitting light for first time in decades it was so painful he had to be prescribed atrophine drops for weeks, which effected his other eye as well. Couldn't drive cause it blurred vision in both eyes. He was an Office supply salesman at the time with much of his income from commissions. Most people would have lost income, but Dad knew his customers' needs so well and had such a good rapport he was able to place orders by phone for them and not have that worry on top of the physical discomfort, and having to adjust to having bi-ocular vision again.

Not to menion it likely dredged up a good bit of childhood trauma for him-- the hospital stay (in 1920s when most people did not explain things to children) was the beginning of his estrangement from his mother. Working poor, widowed and with two other children she could not be at hospital with him as much as any
child would want.

That was someone known to the healer, who should have given some thought to the unintended consequences of the action she took because SHE thought he was 'self conscious' about a scar that did not seriously impair or limit his life. Her intent was 'removal' of the scar, not the 'best', healthiest, outcome for the person involved.

I hope it's ok to 'bump' this thread up so it doesn't get lost.. I have a few things to say on this topic, but not currently up to it

As far as i known it is fine, have you seen how old some threads are? It serms like when there are several new members in short period of time older ones get revived. And sometimes OP comes ine routinely to add things--think music and photo threads, but no reason we can't do it with any topic.

That is a very good report feywon, compared to you, I am
nothing, I never experienced seeing anybody when I send
healing, but it still works, I have been thanked many times
for helping.

Maybe I need more practice.

If it works, that is what matters. Things 'work' differently for different people.

I'm a highly visual thinker, despite my passion for language. My memory is highly visual too. Even if i forget a grocery list at home i can generally close my eyes think of the list and actually see it in my mind.

People believe others are sceptical on this subject, many have faith while others are nonbelievers. I read a book "Mary's Message to the World" many years ago and it scared me. These readings were told between 1987-1991, many of them have come true. Was Mary chosen to be the Mother of God for her ability to warn the world ?
I hope that this ties in with this thread.

Mary was not the "mother of God". God created the heavens, earth and it's creatures including mankind. Jesus was born of the flesh well after this creation, so how could he be God? I know (some) Christians have been taught this; when I was Christian (Methodist) we were not taught that way. Other food for thought...Jesus wanted his followers to worship as he did. Who did he worship...himself? NO he worshipped God, the Creator. I saw a program entitled Is Jesus The Son of God? Regarding the subject of people worshipping Jesus, the minister said that Jesus was questioned by the head of a council that really wanted to do away with him. So the council head was trying to trick Jesus into saying that he should be worshipped. No matter how the council head tried, Jesus said he was not worthy to be worshipped. I wonder what Jesus would really think about people worshipping him now, instead of God. 🤔

Regarding your point about people being skeptics...there will always be those, until they get to experience the gifts for themselves.
 
I have only been a Member for a few minutes, I pleased to have found these posts..I am presently reading the Akashic Records..I believe that we are all energy and therefore we return if we so choose…my beliefs are many and complicated to explain..dreams are predictions to me..hope I did not come across as a looney…
 
I think we all have the potential for ESP but some are more 'open' than others....more sensitive. I'm psychic and I know that my mind is rather free flowing....not sure quite how to describe it. People who are artistic are often psychic too...again they seem to be more receptive to things beyond the obvious. Poets notice things that others don't. It's amazing how many people step outside but don't notice the birds singing...they are too rooted in their own affairs.

Nothing looney at all but we all need to be careful what we say. Many people enjoy making fun of things they don't understand or have no personal experience of. Sometimes I just 'know' things without being able to explain how. Others find that difficult to deal with.

One thing I learned about (and directly from) fundamentalists is they believe Jesus actually was God-the-Creator (you know, from Genesis).
Also, individuals who may or may not believe that use the names interchangeably- "God died on the cross," etc.

I have had many extrasensory gifts in my life and I have no idea why. I was wondering if my twin that my mother lost at the beginning of her pregnancy with me is the one that sends me messages. Everything I dream about has come true.

I don't know how I missed this post.

I'd hesitated to bring up the subject- not wanting to "creep out" guys who might be reading this, or ridicule from people who don't believe in such things at all, but I'd been wondering about it, too.
Also, the movie I watched on Sunday made me even more curious- how did the little boy (4 years old) know there'd been a sibling that had been lost through miscarriage when nobody ever told him? He claimed he met this person during his near-death experience.

Diva can tell you i tend to look for 'mundane' explanations first--even tho i listen to my 'instincts' and 'knowings'. As my kids became more independent i often would start getting a low level anxiety regarding them when it was almost time for them to get home from somewhere, which was weird because i trust them and they rarely disappointed me. Finally figured out i was picking up on their anxiety about making it 'on time' tho i was not super nitpicky about 'to the minute'--then i turned it into that 'low level anxiety' being a good sign--i knew they were on their way home and sure enough they'd come thru the door not long after it started.

i've just started reading 'Blink' by Malcolm Gladwell. It's about hunches, intuition and how we can learn to discern when we need to listen to them carefully. More about brain function and psychology than anything else but when you put it together with knowledge about neuroplasticity and a lifetime of what some folks call 'paranormal' experience--i think it's going to fit well with a notion of consciousness that is broader than most people think in terms of---of it's independence from time/space/body--that individual ones can connect/communicate without use of external devices, or even speaking/writing words.
