Understanding how to work with your psychic abilities
A six year old little girl with big brown eyes named Jenny lies in her bed staring at the ceiling, thinking about her dolls and the new book about fairy tales her mom bought her. All of a sudden, she feels a cold breeze across her face. She quickly sits up and notices her grandmother who had passed away several months’ prior standing in front of her. She immediately lays back into her bed and quickly pulls the blankets over her head as she quietly starts trembling. She slowly sits up and lowers the covers from her body and leaps out of her bed running ever so quickly into the living room to get her parents. “Mommy, I saw her again, I saw her!” “Jenny, calm down,” says her mother as she gently strokes her dark brown hair. ”It is just your imagination, your grandmother is in heaven.” “But, mommy, I saw her and she is bugging me,” sobs Jenny. “Okay, I will take a look and we will say a prayer for grandmother, so please stop crying, it will be okay.”
Jenny and her parents continued with this routine for several months until Jenny learned to ignore her grandmother, as well as the others that would appear. Sometimes she hears their voices, accompanied by a cold breeze as they brush past her. She has always had vivid dreams, clips of clear true to life day dreams, and at times, when she is in the presence of certain people, she gets anxious because she can feel their emotions.
The beginning stages of psychic abilities can feel like a whirlwind and even cause fear. Many people of all ages feel out of control because they can sense energy or spirits, which can cause trouble sleeping as well as anxiety throughout the day. Some in-tune people have visions when they close their eyes, or unintentionally feel emotions and sense energy from random people at places such as school, work, the park, or even standing in line at the grocery store.
Jenny is a clairvoyant and a medium that is afraid of her gifts. Since she was a child and the emergence of her psychic abilities appeared, her family members told her she was imagining things and not to revel or speak about what she senses.
Jenny is now a beautiful thirty-two year old woman who came to my home for a session. I began by stating, “You see and feel spirit. You have a beautiful gift, you are very afraid, and your grandmother is always with you.” Jenny validated what I stated and asked, “How can I begin to address my gifts, as well as use them?”
Acknowledgement of your spiritual truth is the key to recognizing that there are choices of how one can further mature their talents. Many light workers choose to develop their psychic gifts in order to help others but, just because you may choose not to assist the public, does not mean you are not a light worker. The beauty of a true gift is from the light.
Through psychic development you will learn to control your intuitive gifts, so turning your abilities on and off can be as easy as flicking a light switch. There will be the odd time a frequency may cause your light switch to malfunction, however, you will learn that these are instances of warning or a message needs to be received for the greater good.
To further cultivate intuitive abilities, one must also overcome the insecurity of using their voice. Building the confidence of knowing that their psychic impressions are there to help guide and comfort others will open the door to communicate the messages with ease.
I explained to Jenny, “There are several steps to develop your extrasensory skills and you should always take a deep breath and know your spirit guides will help lead you away from doubts and fears.”
“Katherien, my other worry is the people that know me, such as my friends and some of my family members will not accept me.” Jenny said with water filled eyes.
There will always be skeptics. They will not believe in you, and may cast negative thoughts about psychic phenomena, as well as always wanting you to prove your psychic abilities. Occasionally, the people closest to you, such as your peers, friends and family members, will question your abilities and this will cause you to feel confused, frightened, isolated and even abnormal.
“You must always remember, doubt comes from fear and sometimes people are afraid to recognize phenomena that cannot be explained; fear causes rejection to sensations and occurrences that happen all around us.
You must be strong, confident and realize it is not worth trying to convince anyone. This will happen naturally in time and through your growth as an intuitive.” As Jenny absorbed my statements, she looked at me with a quivering smile and asked, “Will I lose some of my friendships because of my wanting to finally accept my gifts?”
People come into our lives for a reason; they all serve a purpose. Some relationships are embedded along your path to teach a life lesson, or to help you figure out who you are and/or who you want to become. There are also those who will stand by you through your lifetime and share in your growth.
“Jenny there will be some relationships that will falter due to your psychic awakening, but you will also gain new friendships,” I explained. “It is okay to let certain people go because we all go through soul evolution and must clean out the spiritual vault, in a sense, to make way for new people, ideas and directions to add to our soul chamber.”
“Thank you, Katherien, but I have one last question. Will I find the confidence to bring my gift to the surface and help people?”
“Yes Jenny, you will finally find the strength and confidence to bring your true self and your gifts forward in order to help others.”
It is always recommended that we build faith in ourselves in order to relay our messages without doubt. With trust in the information obtained, there will always be an untainted delivery. Ego, fear and desire do cause disruption in the frequency of pure intuition.
Developing the confidence and trust of your intuitive abilities is established by the practise of using your intuition and taking the time to know yourself on a soul level so you can trust yourself and all of your spiritual guides.
The art of meditation is often used to clear the clutter from you mind. Quieting your conscious voice will help to eliminate your fears and stigmas to better bring clarity. An exercise suggested is to have a diary of events so you can write and date your impressions in order to reflect at a later time and appreciate that what you heard, saw and felt was real. When we finally begin to explore and understand our extrasensory, paranormal, and psychic endowments, we truly begin our spiritual journey into assisting the universe through light energy.
“Thank you, Katherien, I will see you again in the future, and I must also tell you that your father is always near.”
I thanked Jenny for her confirmation about my father and reassured her that she will be okay. As I watched her drive away my heart was full of love and I felt a single tear fall from my eye because, for the first time in a long time, I have been touched by a simple validation about someone I hold very dear.
The universe and our light within will give us the strength to acknowledge and use our gifts, so we must always have faith that the purity of our light will always serve us and others in order to bring love, hope and validation.
