Psychic or Psycho?

Most people have psychic experiences, and yet seldom if acknowledge just how much psychic information they receive on a regular basis, even daily. I find that when we start paying attention to how often we perceive this type of information, we can begin to track it in ways that it can help us to connect the dots of our experiences. We can make more sense of what is really occurring rather than rely on what others define or interpret as reality.

At times we have periods when we allow ourselves to be more open, times when we welcome insights because we are in pain, or are challenging circumstances. We become more sensitive and perhaps even vulnerable because life has a way of getting under our skin. Therefore we may have stronger psychic knowing during times of loss, or during life transitions. We will often also have strong psychic experiences that cue us to important information as it relates to those we love such as what happens to them impacts us because we are close to our family and have strong ties with good friends. Our soul's at times will present us with stronger psychic feelings as a way of getting us in touch with how we can best relate with our loved ones or how we may reach out to support one another during times of challenge or change.

Pregnant women as well as new mothers often have strong psychic or telepathic experiences connected with their children because they need to be so very present for their new borns and being sensitive to their children in this way helps them to discern what and meet their child's needs. Also many of the children coming in now are very advanced in terms of being very psychic. These little ones challenge us at times to expand beyond our human limits. Children who are sensitive can help us to remember what it is to be in touch with what is beyond the physical and yet a part of it, as well as helping us to get more in touch with our hearts.

Children will also often have invisible friends and be able to hear, see or know things that many adults would seldom even consider talking about much less allow into their own experience. Yet the children need to be able to be whole, and being psychic is a natural part of their being. We all need to move thru and beyond these attitudes, as well as the fears and the repressive attitudes which have had us resisting and rejecting these psychic abilities. It can be challenging for parents to relate with their children in ways that are honouring of what they perceive, and yet we all need to return to a more sane and healthy way of being that honours and allows that we can share what we perceive.

God perfectly designed us all to be as open systems in touch with all of our senses so we can be sensitive to and in full communication with life. As we allow ourselves to nurture and grow these abilities we will gradually be able to utilize them in ways which will ultimately support us to heal and restore many of our relationships.

Sometimes we are open to being psychic, its cool, its fun, and there are really good feelings associated with our experiences, and at other times it can be confusing, even scary. When uncertain feelings are present due to negative messages we have internalized we may hide our true feelings or what we sense and know to be true. Because we are invested in keeping our relationships in harmony, we may be reluctant to share our inner knowing because it is more important to fit in. Rather than rock the boat we may just deny our inner knowing and feelings and consequently adapt to circumstances grinning and bearing it.

So to cope, we may shut off our senses or talk ourselves out of what we know to be true, to keep the peace or to keep circumstances at a level because if we know too much, and disclose that it could upset others, and then we would be upset and then what? Being psychic often will require from us that we be more honest, forthright and responsible, and we may need to grow more courage and confidence before we can be so real and direct.

At times we may welcome long periods of ongoing psychic experiences because they are not challenging us so much. However at other times when there are difficulties, we may try to shut it off, this may then have us entering prolonged periods when we seldom have psychic experiences. If we can simply acknowledge that it was us that closed the door on our senses, we can start to feel a sense of relief. It will be freeing and empowering for us when we can sort through the feelings that have us denying or rejecting what we know, because as we allow ourselves to be an open psychic system, we will be guided how to live our life in ways more harmonious. We can then connect the dots to our experiences and make more sense of our lives and our world.

If others try to label us as crazy for hearing voices, we can see that it is them that are uncomfortable with psychic perceptions, and we can have compassion for them. They can help us to reflect where we may have fear and judgement ourselves about being psychic, so we can make changes in our own attitudes and feelings. We may be tempted to turn away from our psychic senses, to turn away from people at such time; however if we can have a sense of humour about it all, we can temper these feelings. If we can take the time to examine these feelings, we can shift them to positive ones instead.

If or when others think we are just plain weird or spooky because we see things that they don't, they may feel we are at an advantage that can feel to be an uncomfortable threat and may also pose a challenge for them in terms of their concept of reality. Just think if someone could see through you, if you were not ready to be seen you may flinch or try to shift attention away from your self.
