amatuer, amatuer psychic in need of meditation

[Tree04]

I came across your site by my brother, "birch tree" who recommended that I may be able to focus my energy in a more productive way. A little about me, I have been seeing ghosts since the age of five; I see them periodically but I wouldn't consider myself a psychic by any means, although I have been able to predict the future in some rare cases, but I always tell people not to really believe me. Even when I say it I don't have any confidence that I'm right. I can read most auras immediately, that's one thing I'm really good at doing. At the age of 19 I had what I think was a non-human spirit follow me for almost three months and it scared me half to death, after that I turned off my abilities for 4 years until I became curious again, especially when my brother "birch tree" confided in me that he was having paranormal experiences. In short I have focused on two main things in the last four years: Out of body experiences (which I have successfully induced through meditation 3 times), and aura readings. On a side note, I have been experiencing random paranornal activity, which I also hope to develop. I guess in short I feel that I should utilize my potential but I feel my brain is so unfocused, and perhaps my energy needs to be focused differently. That's why I'm here: to learn. Anyway, I'm open to advice from someone of equal or greater knowledge than my own. Thank you.

Hi Tree04,

 

Welcome!

 

May you enjoy your time here.

 

I cannot speak to your concerns as I do not hold to the concepts but I'm sure someone will come along and discuss them with you.

 

Happy Trails!

Tree04,

 

Welcome, sister! I'm glad that you registered here! I think you will find this a friendly and informative forum. Certainly something that we can discuss next time we get together over coffee!

 

Cheers!

'amatuer' >>'amateur' is the preferred spelling in the US.

Your abilities (open yin eye, auric readings, OBEs, precog, etc) are hardly amateur, lol. I have yet to experience any of those myself, except for barely being able to see auras... So, lucky you!

 

It's interesting how some people are just born with psychic abilities - as it appears to often run in families (is there a gene for this, or energy body inheritance?), or may come from astrological influences.

 

Anyhow, it sounds like some of your 3rd eyes are open, and so have a lot of activity in your head. You may want to work on opening your other 2 main "dan tians," then. Ultimately, you want everything open.

I am currently doing a spontaneous qigong and "Quanzhen" sitting meditation. Any type of meditation will take a lot of discipline to do for extended periods daily, and I think your ability for "relaxed focus" develops from such repetitive practice.

Thank you for your helpful post Vortex. I had to look up "dan tians" so I believe (?) you are talking about the lower body chakras, as I know them (the first three). I'll be honest with you I thought the point of progression was to continue upward in charkra energy but I suppose that if you consider all matter being subjective to a center of gravity, the lower energy levels need to be sound in order to progress... Interesting.

 

 

I will look into your Quanzhen technique. I appreciate the helpful post.

 

As for having my third eye open, I don't think it's fully open, but that's what I was hoping to achieve. I think my Anahata and Vishuddha are open, with my Anja is peaking on the horizon. I say that because I can't control by Anja, but I feel I have control over the other two. But perhaps I have neglected my Muladhara, Swadhisthana and Manipura. My self taught menality of these lower chakras has built a parallel between them and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, (from when I first became interested in chakras). And so the "stereotpyical" level of the MHN carried into the chakra levels and posed them as a matter of progession, without paying much attention to how important the fundamentals are. Sorry if this doesn't make sense I'll will explain more.

 

Anyway, I appreciate the positive, helpful post. It's nice to be able to talk to people about this instead of whether I spelled "amateur" correctly:)

Best Regards,

PS. It's funny you are are not the first to ask if psychic abilities are inherited! I should mention that my brother "birch tree" is a Scorpio and the I'm a Leo but the Sun was in Scorpio the day I was born. Don't have a clue what that means, but of the eight of us, we are the most clairvoyant. My mom's not that bad though, and we have a little brother that shows some promise.

Thanks bro!

 

I had a fanastic experience yesterday that I wanted to talk to you about. In short, I was having a really bad day yesterday, I mean, really bad. Andy was home with the flu and his grandpa died and so he has to take off 3 days. I have seen him cry twice before, that's it. So I was doing dishes and I was crying silently to myself because I had lashed out at him for not spending enough time with me, which isn't his fault at all; you know how busy he is. So I was doing dishes and I was crying silently to myself and I decided to address my Spirit Guide, because I felt like I could have dealt with the situation better, so I said under my breath, "I'm sorry." When I said it I had a cold blast chill my arm and my hair stood on end. And there was this pressure over my forearms. I was kindof self-absorbed at the time and so I noted it and I continued thinking about everything else wrong in my life (which is really nothing but you know how it is when things start to avalanche unneccessarily. Plus I'm a girl. Enough said.) I prayed the only prayer I ever say. Not to God but to my Spirit Guide and I asked for strength or courage (not for everything to be fixed because I would learn nothing). When I asked, I got the same cold chill around my arms and the pressure, that's when I realized it was like someone was hugging me! It may have been just my own mind inducing the feeling, I know, I just wanted to share it with you. It didn't feel like my mind, because my mind was crazy but then all of the sudden there was this calm, (cold) loving embrace from nowhere. I felt better, and Andy came into the kitchen and we made up instantly. I know you'll ask, was it Andy's grandpa? I don't think so. For one, I only met the man once and it was at my bridal shower to pick up JaJa and he didn't even come to the wedding reception (to ill). I do have to say though at his funeral on Tuesday I will definitely try to talk to him. Maybe it was him, because this happened an hour after he died.

 

Anyway, thought you might like the story about the hugging. Made me feel better. Hi to the fam!

Hey Tree04,

 

I am sorry about Andy's grandpa--please pass along my condolences to him--losing a grandparent is really difficult.

 

As for your experience--that's really cool--I'm sure it was real. I would often get the same feeling when I thought about Grandpa L. after he died. It felt like a cold hug. I don't know if it was your spirit guide or Andy's grandpa, but I'm sure it was real. I think you and I have always been more receptive to spirit energy. I'd love to talk more about your experience over the phone sometime soon. Also I'd be happy to talk about the dantiens sometime. Taoism stresses dantiens instead of chakras, though the three main dantiens are located at chakra points.

 

Also, I picked up a copy of Siddhartha at B&N last night. I can't put it down--it is fabulous. I'm not done with it yet, but I'm about 70 pages into it. What a great read! Thanks for the suggestion!

 

I'll try to get a hold of you this weekend to chat. Hope that you and Andy have a nice weekend!

 

Your brother,

Birch Tree
