Is it possible to develop different psi abilities?

[Kim]

Your abilitity to feel the pain of others, isn't unheard of at all. There are a lot of us, spread throughout the world. We call people who can can feel other's physical, and emotional feelings empaths. When you are around people who are upset, do you often feel that kind of pain too? Do you tend to adopt the emotion that others around you have, if it is within your range? Are you sometimes aware that people are angry, or sad, even when they don't show it outwardly? Do you feel attacked somehow, any time someone else gets frustrated with you? Likewise do you benefit to the extreme when people around you are happy, and cheerful, catching that high feeling from them? If so you are most likely a very sensitive empath.

You obviously develop links easily to people who are close to you emotionally. Links make people who are physically distant seem close. It bridges any distance, as if it were nothing.

You've felt phenomonon before, and you know what that feeling is. It sounds like you probably are gifted. You could develop that ability through meditation, energy work and Kundalini Yoga. It will probably continue to develop some anyway as long as you use it, and pay attention to it.

I linked to a description of my experiences in another thread:
Developing psi abilities

I believe anyone can induce psychic experiences and that anyone can do spiritual healing. The web site linked to in that post explains how.

I've always had a great deal of empathy... not to the extent where I would have panic attacks but I have always been able to finish people's sentences and understand exactly what is troubling them. My father has always had this ability... and also has another ability, he dreams of people (some that he may not even know) before they die. Kind of creepy, but you get used to it, death is just part of life. I believe anyone with any amount of empathy should seriously consider learning Reiki. Empaths are born healers, that is your chosen profession... if you have the natural ability to feel someones pain, you have the natural ability to cure it... all you need to do is learn to channel the energy. I'm just starting to learn Reiki, but by Christmas I should have my Reiki II attunement.

On a side note, I have started an experiment with meditation. I have the Munroe Institutes's step by step OBE guide on Mp3's... when I use these I am able to easily attain a DEEP state of meditation. Once in that deep state of meditation I concentrate on reaching into my roommate's mind... and telling him that it would be a good idea to play guitar, or play a certain song on the computer...... To my surprise it has worked 3/3 attempts so far. Very shortly after I send the message I hear guitar, or music... The song that I tried by the way was Imagine by John Lennon. I'm almost jumping with excitement at the prospects of what this may hold for me... I wonder if he will ever figure out that I am doing this? Does anyone think this is unethical? Let me know what you think.....

Can anyone tell me why this has been happening to me? I think I may be awakening but am not sure why any of this is happening.

I have always been able to see auras, as far back as I can remember. I liked seeing rainbows around people. When I was 4 I had my first and only OOBE. I remember seeing me asleep on my bed. There were a lot of lights flashing outside our house. I always remember them as UFO lights but am not claiming I was abducted or anything like that. I also had an invisible friend who looked a lot like me, whom I called Tia, that sometimes tells me things - an answer will just pop into my head. As I got older my invisible friend went away. I guessed I had outgrown her.

As a young teen I started experiencing precog. I called them niggles. They would invariably come true and they would be memorable because they wouldn't happen all the time.

My mother was very religious and I was raised that way. I asked God to take away this "evil" precog and seeing aura "gifts". He didn't take away the precog but it immediately became almost impossible for me to see auras. I had to struggle to see them. The world was very bland without all those rainbows.

Jump ahead about 20 years. In 1999 my family moved into our house. I started seeing and hearing ghosts. Two summers ago my mother told me something startling - she had a miscarriage when she was pregnant with me. My twin sister died during the miscarriage. Click! My thoughts were racing after hearing that. You see my name is Mea and I called my invisible friend Tia. My invisible friend was my dead sister!

Anyway, I started experiencing OOBEs as of this year. I can sometimes hear people's thoughts. Mundane thoughts like "Oh boy, I forgot to pickup the drycleaning and now they are closed!" or "I hope that check doesn't bounce". Now I'm seeing auras again as well as energy fields. And shadow people have started visiting me. And an invisible something tried to drag me off my bed. And I keep having this strange dream. Each time I dream it it replays it but adds more to the end of it. It is a compelling dream too. And I have started doing lucid dreaming.

I want to know why this is happening. Is it true that I am awakening? I am not meditating or trying to learn how to do more psi, it just keeps happening more and more all the time and stronger all the time.

Somebody tell me something here...Please? I feel like a 40 year old weirdo.

Hi mcadwell,

That's called "between a rock and a hard place". Whats happening can be caused by many things, but somewhat due to an energy imbalance, with your chakra sytem. If you need an assist with that, let me know.
You'll need to read a number of my posts to perhaps understand my use of :Babbler" here. Your entire situation is wearing you out. Your babbler is at work. So things you experienced kept building up. Your babbler is running wild and messing around between spirit, soul and body. Have covered babblers activity in many posts.
First off, you need to tighten up and alter the thinking process. Secondly, attack the physical part that keeps you ill. Some further links are shown in the posts I've listed here. My day has been long and busy, and it is late. Only restarted the computer, due to a "feeling tone" ( covered in my other posts) that prompted me to check my mail. So here I am, no added "feeling tone" are coming in, so will wing it from here. Very likely you are experiencing psychic phenomenon, if the things you wrote are taking place. Good position to be in, not so good how it is affecting you. By the way your not a weirdo, just not prepared to cope with this situation. Just take it step by step, holding in mind, the thought, that you are being gifted this way for a reason. Need to find out the reason. Need to correct the health problem, Need to adjust the thinking situation. Correcting the health and thinking process, will perhaps lead to the "reason" that needs an answer. If and when you feel threatened in any manner, firmly say " return from where you came, with no harm to any", in a firm voice. You should perhaps also "ask" the (!) how you can help them/ it. Otherwise I suggest that you strongly hold the thought
" harmony" in mind. Just don't let your babbler control you. As you read my posts, pose the question "how can I best use this information to harmonize my situation". Your answer will come. Also enclose yourself in a shield of light for added protection, and white is the best color to use. Could add more , but what is offered here should get to back to harmony. Will temporarily assist from my side for your guidance and protection.
Hope you can make sense of what is said here.

I am in the same situation. I have astounding "attacks" of clairvoyance and precognition that come unbidden. I have been trying to develop more control over this, but it seems that any time I try to do anything psychic on purpose, I don't do so well. When it comes accidentally, it is really interesting how true it is. I know I have to increase meditation and practice the skills, but beyond that, do you have any suggestions? RainCrow

I suggest you find a psychic development class. These are often taught at spiritualist churches. Spiritualist churches are also a good place to meet other people who have had similar experiences. I have described some of my experiences both good and bad with psychic devleopment at spiritualist churches here:

http://www.geocities.com/chs4o8pt/psi_experience.html
http://www.geocities.com/chs4o8pt/dark_side.html

I also have a web page that describes how to induce psychic experiences.

http://www.geocities.com/chs4o8pt/na...ediumship.html

It is based on the observations that 1) theta brain waves have been reported to correlate with psychic experiences, 2) theta waves occur in the hypnogogic state, 3) visualization exercises induce theta waves, and 4) visualization and other relaxation exercises can induce the hypnogogic state, 5) it is easy for a person to recognize when they are in the hypnogogic state so they don't need expensive equipment to know when they are producing theta waves.

The web page is oriented for mediumship but I've also used the method successfully for remote viewing and have had precognitive perceptions using it.

I have never had problems with frauds at spiritualist churches but I've read there are some out there so you have to be aware of that.

There are some incredible personal stories, but good evidence that people can develop psi abilities is nowhere to be found. The trend more often reported in parapsychology is for subjects to get *worse* with more trials.

Consider the facilities we do have. We take in a huge amount of information, and we have an amazing facility for language. If remote viewing, telepathy, or telekinesis worked, they would provide huge advantages and we should have evolved to exploit them.

Our scientific understanding of language and of vision is in its infancy, though there is a lot we know. We continue to get better at transferring thoughts between minds, with tools such as cell phones, browsers, Google and Wikipedia. Parapsychology on he other hand, has given us nothing; psychics, even less.

You say that like it is fact. The truth is, even if you accept the reality of psi that doesn't mean you know how it works. The underlying process responsible for psi experiences may not allow 'strong' psi to develop in the natural world. But then again, maybe it does. We simply don't know. The evolutionary argument against psi looks appealing on first glance but it assumes so much about a phenomena we know little about.
