Does large crowds affect your psychic abilities? I get overwhelmed in a room full of people and can’t focus. It also takes me hours or sometimes days to shake off the crowd. I use grounding techniques but it doesn’t always help. How do you navigate this? Open for discussion too.

Hello!

I (21f) feel I may have some semblance of psychic abilities based on strange experiences and have some worries over their evolution in the last few months.

I am on the spectrum so I am struggling with figuring out the rules to this sub so if I have to provide context in the comments, I can but here it goes.

Since I was about 16, I’ve had many strange experiences where I’ve been questioned about a “gift”. I don’t know that it is entirely a gift so I’m looking for a bit of guidance.

The first instance is dreams.

The dream was about my boyfriend’s late brother who passed four months before my boyfriend and I started dating last year. In the dream, his brother mentioned personal information that I wasn’t aware of (bf and I had been dating for about two or so months so I wasn’t very aware on much about his brother). I told his brother in the dream (let’s call him Michael) to visit my boyfriend soon.

The next morning my boyfriend calls me to tell me he had a dream Michael had visited him so I tell him of my dream and the information Michael had given me. (He asked how Florence was and I didn’t know who that was) My boyfriend was losing his mind over this and I learned Florence had been Michael’s girlfriend at the time of his passing.

This is the only dream ive ever had in that relation but my impulses are often strange.

A customer of mine, Camille, came into my workplace rather down and when I asked how she was, she said her daughter had passed a few days prior.

I apologized and immediately began seeing these flashes of pink and blue in my vision and heard the greatest laughter I could ever imagine. Something in my mind, Camille believes it was her daughter reaching out through me, told me that I needed to tell her a few things.

I let her know that I have been told I have a gift and explained what I saw before saying “She’s got a wonderful laugh” and she began to cry. Her daughter supposedly had the greatest laugh and always wore her hair dyed pink and blue.

I’ve had other instances with my boss where I kept seeing flashes of a shorter woman wearing a purple shawl standing behind her and smelling of peonies. Eventually I told her about this and she began crying and saying “that’s my mama”. Her mother died about five years ago and she showed me a photo of the woman, purple shawl and all.

There was a time at my boyfriend’s family’s house when I could see this younger boy out of the corner of my vision every so often. He was very loud in my head and begging me to tell them that he was there and he was watching. It was so forceful, I had tell my boyfriend that there was someone else besides Michael hanging around and learned his cousin passed away back in 2015. This resulted in many happy but confused tears and the most relief I’ve ever felt from someone on spirit side.

Recently a medium visited our store and told me to harness my abilities. I will say I have not been consistent since she told me this but I’ve noticed that auditory experiences have grown.

Mainly with Michael. He talks a lot and I’ve heard his voice played on videos before so I know it is him. It is hard to explain but usually when I hear him, it’s like a song that is stuck in my head but now it really sounds like he is standing next to me. Usually it’s just things to my boyfriend but sometimes he’ll say someone’s name and when I reach out to them, there’s usually something that’s happened.

Is this normal in progressing abilities? Should I be worried?

I have been decently good about protecting myself but I worry something could be wrong or I could be hurt should I continue to read into these experiences.

Hello, quick question. My wife had an akashic reading a week or so ago. Long story short, she has been having throat and shoulder pain and I have been having low back pain for years. Debilitating almost. My wife is my best friend and we are very close. She had this reading and the psychic said that she saw a large talon gripping her left shoulder. The psychic helped some angels remove the talon and the angels actually painted the nails of the talon for whatever reason. Since that time, her shoulder pain is completely gone and my back pain has improved well over 90%. It’s been about a week and it’s still gone. Any idea what this could have been? Is it common to have an energy leach to hang on with a talon for a long period of time?

For as long as I’ve had back pain (even had surgery 5 years ago) I feel like this event totally helped me. I meditate regularly for 1-2 hours a day, I’m very spiritual in my life. Always do the LBRP prior to my meditations, I know that there are many entities in the universe and not all are loving. My wife does not meditate regularly. Could an energy leech use her to try and drain my light as well as hers?

She is currently thinking it has been her boss at work who is super controlling. She’s getting a new job and leaving that place. We both work in hospitals as caregivers, I know the prevelance of energetic leaches that feed on pain. I can’t help but think it could have somehow been my fault since these two things seemingly so linked. I know the sacral and throat chakra are very closely related. Any information would help. I look forward to undergoing my own akashic record reading here in the near future. Cheers!

So I am questioning whether I am a psychic, or whether my mind is just babbling. There are signs I MIGHT be a psychic; sometimes I feel random shivers and presences, and I even saw shadowy figures in the corner of my eye a few times. Once I even literally saw a fully black, cloudy one sitting by my bed, so of course, I was scared as heck. I am still very young, so I think it might also be my mind wanting to be "special" or that I am just hallucinating. But there were also times I could literally feel things from the perspective OF an object I am touching (like feeling I am touching a coin both from my finger's and my perspective), and times I had weird visions of scenic landscapes and dripping liquids while closing my eyes, and I even once got it correct a while before that my best friend and cousin would stop fighting. So what does this mean?

Hi lovelies,

I was just is the midst of making a brocoli omlette (lol) and all of the sudden I received what I think must have been a sort of psychic download and the information I received was this: "The spirit is a fragment if the soul. The spirit is the energy from this life, and the soul is the energy from all our lives and higher self." Ive never contemplated the difference between the spirit and soul before, nor did I know there was a difference , that's why I feel this came from spirit and not my ego. Is there any validity to this? Any one educated on this topic ? Thank you!

Okay this is going to be long as hell.. sorry. Ive tried googling things pertaining to what I've experienced but I can't find a single thing.

6 years ago I bought/moved into my home. The same week I moved in, I met my boyfriend. Within a few weeks of moving in I felt a weird energy. It's a really old house so I assumed maybe someone died here or something. I don't know how to explain it. I just felt the presence of someone or something. I tried finding out if someone passed away here but found nothing. The longer I lived here the more intense this feeling/energy got. It was predominantly in my kitchen. In the same spot. Anytime I walked in there I could feel it. A feeling that I wasn't alone and someone was watching me. I couldn't tell if it was good or bad, but there was SOMETHING I just couldn't explain. I told no one because I feel like people would think I was crazy (maybe I am?). But it just kept getting more and more intense as the years went on. Fast forward 5 years. I'm scrolling through Facebook and I see someone in my people you may know that felt familiar but I didn't know this person. I click on her page. I click on her friends and families pages. I see a picture of my boyfriend with her and they are in a hospital with a newborn. I won't go into all that but needless to say he was dating both of us this entire time. After everything came out... like the same day... that energy, whatever the hell it was in my house.. is completely gone. I don't understand it... how one thing could have anything to do with the other. But I also can't get it out of my head how after 5 years this feeling/energy is completely gone. It makes no sense to me. Am I crazy? Imagining things? Has anyone ever experienced anything like this type of energy before... where it's there and then when a betrayal comes out the energy disappears?? I never suspected a thing so it's not like this energy was some kind of suspicion or paranoia.

this is my first spiritual awakening im hearing spirits talking to me how can i stop like im hearing sounds ??

I have many questions about psychic abilities, i read they are gifts that can be enhanced but what practices do you have to do to get them? I know meditation is a key practice but what kind of meditations? My mother has the gift of sensing spirits, energies and predicting future events in her dreams, could it be hereditary or nah? I mean i dont really have anything like that right now but i used to see ghosts all the time as a kid

I want to lean more into spirituality my intuition and I'm not sure where to start. I am an empath, and I believe there is a six sense or intuition that runs in my family. My grandmother and mother are both incredibly intuitive, and have had similar experiences with different people than the two experiences I will list below.

1. About eight years ago, my grandfather (non-blood relation, he adopted my father when he was little) was very sick with cancer. We knew it was near the end of his life and he was living in my parents house getting palliative care. I was at home during this time, and one night randomly awoke around 3am and rapidly sat up in bed. I am a sound sleeper and rarely wake up in the middle of the night. I felt like something was happening - something was wrong. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I had sudden thoughts of my grandfather, as if something was happening to him. A few minutes later, the nurse on duty was walking up the stairs to wake my parents to tell them my grandfather had passed. In the moment he passed, my body clearly felt it and woke me up suddenly.
2. Two years, a similar experience happened, but with my paternal grandfather who I've never met or had any relationship with. I'd heard a few things about him throughout my life, but not much due to the estragement (he was a bad man). I randomly woke up in the middle of the night again with a similar scenario, and this man who I'd never met came to mind. Why was he coming to mind in the middle of the night? I have zero relationship with him. I dismissed it and went back to sleep. A few nights later, the same thing happened. I was so confused why he randomly popped in my mind again. I grabbed my phone in the dark and quickly googled his name and the word "obituary" to see if what I thought could be happening was actually happening. Sure enough, a day or two before, his obituary had been posted. I had clearly felt something happening with him, and it was confirmed.

What does this mean? Is there a name for it? Is this a gift or just a weird scenario that's happened a few times? If this is a gift of sorts, how do I lean more into it to be intuitive about things outside of death? I am new to learning about all of this, so thanks in advance <3

Hi everyone!

Just looking for different thoughts on this.

Last night I had a dream about a lady who I used to work with about a year ago - I haven’t seen,talked or thought of her since she left the job. We weren’t super close, she worked in a different department than me, but we were in the same office.

I remember waking up and thinking to myself “hmm that was weird to dream about her..I wonder if I will run into her ever again” I even went as far as to google her name that morning to see if I could see where she is now working. ( kinda creepy, I know 😂 )

Fast forward to about 9 hours later….i was downtown on my work to work stopped at a cross walk & i got this really weird feeling someone was staring at me, i turned and looked to my side & hear “Hello!!! How have you been?!”… it was the lady I had a dream about!?

I actually felt a bit of fear when this happened, she probably thought something was wrong because I was really shocked to see her after literally just dreaming and wondering about her 9 hours earlier.

Was this just a strange coincidence?? I really can’t stop thinking about it!

Hey folks! Hope you're all doing well. :)

I attended a healing circle at my aunt's house last night with many of her friends & a few members of my family present. Much of what was discussed reaffirmed the effectiveness of the healing path I went down to heal my mind & body from the impacts of living in our colonial, patriarchal & capitalistic society, so that felt very validating for my current practice as a Youth Peer Support Worker for a non-profit organization. After the circle, though, something interesting happened.

I went to speak to the healer for a bit and we were very much in alignment with how we see the world, move through the world & the legacy we want to leave behind for future generations, so of course this excited me as I don't meet many people who speak my language so fluently. However, the last thing she said to me was, "So, what have you been doing with your psychic abilities?" I've had other healers call me the Sage when I was in my teens, many people have told me I am "going to do great things," and "help a lot of people," & adults have always told me I am both an old soul & that I see the world in a very unique way. I never really knew what they meant because I didn't know how others saw the world differently than I do, but these questions have been answered as I've grown up & have understood how much of our world is fuelled by fear.

SO, while this comment from the healer last night did somewhat catch me off guard, it isn't an uncommon occurrence for me. When I got home, I let my mind dabble with the idea that I may truly have some abilities that see beyond what others can see & I started receiving answers to every question I posed, in an almost overwhelming way. I started laughing hysterically because my body was so filled with endorphins - it felt like my higher self was elated that I was finally giving her space to speak & be heard. It was clear that the answers I was receiving were intuitively true, but I still had a moment of self-consciousness knowing how others perceive experiences like this.

Both of my grandmas were hospitalized & diagnosed with schizophrenia (which I now believe was a vast misunderstanding of their own abilities), so I'm very aware of how these experiences may be handled if others, even in my family, were to hear me share these things.

Anyways, just thought I'd share this here in case anyone had any insight into how I could continue to tap into that space? Looking back, I now understand that writing & art have always been my outlets for communicating what's being communicated to me, but I'd love to be able to create a more intentional practice so if any of you have ideas, I'd love to hear them! Also, if anyone would like to validate my experiences, that's also very welcomed. I can validate them for myself as I know they were real & true, but I'm curious if others have had similar experiences.

So my friend passed away 6 months ago. I'm driving my car to an acting class and a really random thought popped into my head about a text conversation I have with his widow. I remarked telling to my other friend something about his widow acting offended when I asked if she needed help.

Less than 5 minutes later I get a text from his widow! Just a reminder about a event she was having celebrating his birthday.

I am having trouble discerning if things are precog or synchronicity. Please elaborate. Also if you could get into the meaning as well, thanks.

If you want, can all of you tell me how can i increased my own psychic ability? 🙏🏼

rn when im meditation i always seeing purple light and im trying to open my third eye. Ive been experience telepathy with my ex and having some intuition bfr something bad happened but all of time i just cant feel that im having it or seeing “another things”

Thx bfr

I've always had a knack for discerning what someone is truly trying to convey, even when it's not explicitly stated. Whether it's detecting ulterior motives or recognizing when someone is being manipulative or genuine. However, having to navigate these mind games has become emotionally taxing for me. I often do not feel this way with the people close with so only those who give me a weird vibe.

As you can guess, I'm also highly attuned to people's emotions and the energy they emit (not sure why people have different vibes). I can often sense how someone is feeling or what they're trying to express before they even say a word. While this sensitivity allows me to connect with others on a deeper level, it also comes with a downside. Currently, I have been having a hard time in my work since it’s been soo busy and people around me are constantly stressed, I feel the tension and feel suffocated. Especially these past days where I have been making more mistakes than usual🫠 and I feel like a disappointment.

Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, how do you cope with this feeling of suffocation? How can you be able to separate people’s negative emotions from yourself?

sorry this is a bit long, but I had really good ability to connect with my third eye prior to my miscarriage. I was able to meet my family who has passed, sense if anything bad was going to happen and have out of body experiences. Since my miscarriage everything is a blur. I can see shadows in black and red around me at times or very very faint images of my daughter who passed during my miscarriage.

In my heart I can describe how my daughter looks and I know she is trying to reach out to me but I cannot hear or see her. More than anything, anytime I try to relax my mind and body I start having headaches and I am not able to focus.

When I first started dating my gf (now ex), she got a reading and said we were married in a recent past life and we would spend this one together as well. After dating several months, I got a reading and the reader said the same thing. We recently broke up due to the relationship becoming very toxic. I got another reading and she said the same, we were in a recent past life, but that I will find someone else to marry in this lifetime. Is it possible to have several souls in past lives living in this life? I have been really struggling with the breakup due to the fact that our souls had a great life in a past life. I want that in this life and are afraid I won't find it now that she is gone.

So for context I barely use my phone as it is overstimulating but I know when certain people texted me or thought about me.

I’ve had this a lot lately where I feel sick to my stomach and then get this thought about my ex texting me, I than look at my phone a few minutes later and it shows he tried to contact me the exact moment I felt this sickening feeling…

Why is this? Is it because I had such a close relationship with him in the past or is it me feeling his negative energy?

This has also happened with people I do like and feel comfortable with, I get this thought of that person and when I check my phone I see a text or call from them.

Am I just really sensitive to energy or am I just going insane? haha

I don't remember of happening to me before this year, it may have, but for the most part, its a recent thing that keeps happening to me. Sometimes, when I'm in the presence of someone, I am bombarded with feelings and images and themes of what it is like to be living that persons life. Strong emotions, hopes, dreams, colours, locations. So much of the information is felt, and not really describable. It feels so foreign to my own felt experience. I cannot control when it happens, or with whom, I'm just in the presence of someone, or I just see them near me, and I am bombarded by an entire life's worth of memories and feeling. It doesn't displacenmy own sense of self, it feels more like I'm a guest in someone's home, if that makes sense. A few minutes after I am no longer near them, the reeling stops. I have a hard time remembering the details afterwarad, the same way a dream is hard to recall. All of my mental faculties are in tact, I have no history of delusions or mental health problems that could lead to hallucinations. Ive used hallucingens in the past, and those experiences are otherworldly and foreign and strange, whereas these are vivid and lucid and mundane. These don't feel like delusions/hallucinations though, because I'm aware of it when it happens and I'm aware of the strangeness of it. If anyone else has experienced something like this, I'd love to hear other recounting, or if there's a name for it I'd love to know so I can research it further. Many thanks

Sooooo little background: My grandpa died March 2019. The morning he died I had a dream that he knocked on my front door and told me not to worry, he found his mommy. When I woke it was 3:33am. He was pronounced dead at 3:34am by the hospice nurses. Our homes are an hour away.

Now, I have dreams every once in awhile where he visits me and tells me things. Mostly about my “life path”. His wife, my grandma died March of this year. This morning he came to me in a dream again. He told me to sit at the table with him, like we so often did for newspaper comics and OJ.. this time he told me, rather I felt, the comfort of his guidance and love and not to carry so much anger. I was just about to ask him where grandma was when he interrupted and told me it was time for me to head back home. And I woke up. I have been very angry with my grandmas death, it’s very unexpected, no certain cause, a very healthy 76 year old.

Am I just dreaming, or am I tapping into something? My mom says as a child I used to comment on seeing people, seeing their colors, etc… I also still do this day have very vivid dreams about places and homes that my current body has never been to - but when I draw them, the places are recognized by other family. Like one home was my great grandmothers childhood home.

What can I read to learn more about what I am experiencing? I believe there is more I need to tap into.

If you made it this far, thank you.

Does anyone else see like a doppelganger life or is it just me? Recently I keep seeing how my life should be (I'm an artist). I keep seeing sleek interior design apartments. Think new york popular artist art scene type vibes or quiet countryside mornings with my easel. I think I'm going crazy...or I'm watching too many YouTube videos. It always happens when I zone out...

Just wondering if anyone is knowledgable with "spiritual" stuff and like an emotional transfer of feelings tied to someone as they die? I had a very deep emotional reaction to the death of someone I didn't know tonight. Ive had it happen before, but tonight was different. I could feel their emotions completely .. to say it was unsettling is an understatement. I just really want to know wth is wrong with me

I don’t know if anyone has any idea but this weird thing started happening to me for a while. Let’s say I’m going normal with my life and then all of a sudden a rush of ideas, stories and pictures comes to my mind, then I come across with a book series about exactly what I thought of. I mostly like to read fantasy/romance and these all are all the same genre. Tonight I even saw a scene in my dream from a book series that I haven’t ever read about anywhere and then all of a sudden I know its name. The annoying thing is I’m getting spoilers without reading the books or even knowing their names (I’m sorry it sounds really funny and stupid). I’m also meeting with book characters in my dreams. If anyone has any ideas please share with me

I hear that"sympathy" pregnancy symptoms are real. Are they? And to what degree is there an energetic connection?

Is this true for, say, people are not together while the woman is pregnant also? I mean, we basically have sometime else's DNA in us, plus our baby's, which is a mix of the two.

I made a list. The first one happened to me on Christmas. And the rest have happened just within the past two weeks.

• Thought I saw a deer at the bottom of a hill but there wasn’t. Drove up the hill, there’s a deer standing right there. On the right side of the road just where I imagined it seconds before.
• Someone mentioned they were in my neighborhood doing work on a house. I asked “the Bees?” It wasn’t. But a few hours later they text me “You would never believe where I’m at.” They ended up being at the Bees.
• Started talking about the tree cutting business in the car and wondered how much you get paid and how to get into it. My friend looks to her left and sees a building that says “tree services/tree cutting”
• Was telling my friend how I wish that my college emailed me about my cap and gown because I don’t know if I can pick it up yet. I get on my outlook. First email from an hour ago “Cap and Gown ready for pick up”
• On the phone with my friend talking about a guy. She passes two street names called the guys name.
• Showing someone this persons instagram at my job. The person starts typing to me on Snapchat. Says “look to your left” and is sitting right there.

There are many more of these too. I just can’t remember all of them. Will definitely start writing everyone of them down.

I have never ever had Deja vu. The closest thing is remembering I’ve heard that song before or I think this was a tv show I used to watch. I have some memories around liking certain music from childhood and it reminds me strangely of maybe a movie about cowboys or the desert. But I think maybe I just liked back to the future 3 as a kid and have nostalgia associated with that place and time in the context of movies. This isn’t Deja vu…

I have never been to a place and had a strange feeling I had been here before.

The only thing close to this was when I knew Chris brown run it and let me love you by Mario lyrics when they were fresh hits and I was SURE they were old songs that I already knew. I felt psychic in a sense. But that’s not Deja vu? This universal experience I have never had. Why?

Background: My SO has a gift for mediumship but doesn’t know how to manage it. Normally when she’s tired or in bed she can sense when a spirit is present and wants to communicate (the spirits are deceased family members that mean well). When she’s conscious, she says it tends to feel like an uncomfortable pressure until she can channel what they want to say. Some nights she feels unsettled and wants them to just leave her alone. And once in a while, one that’s particularly gentle speaks through her while she’s asleep, coming and going with a deep breath or a giggle from her. In any case, she tends to wind up with a bad migraine after a subconscious experience.

Question: What advice or resources can anyone recommend to help with her mediumship? Things like, interpreting messages consciously, dismissing spirits when she wants them not to bother her, and most importantly avoiding headaches/migraines.

I’m a SLIder and a psychic dreamer and I just went through a sudden awakening. Have any of you had this happen and if so were you shown anything specific during your awakening beyond what most people report of these experiences. Most of my experience matched up almost identically with others but I was also shown a link between subjects that I intuitively know is important and that I have to follow up on. I’m just hoping someone on here recognizes this.

I was driving on the highway and started thinking about buying a new car. Then I thought “dream car”. A few seconds later a Ferrari 360 Modena passed by on the other side, my dream car in high school.

Like what is this? Did I sense a “dream car” coming? If it’s a synchronicity what could the universe be telling me?

And it's affecting my every section of my life. Especially with my soulmate/ twinflame.They say It's pushing him away. I've been through about every type of abuse possible ...since childhood to adulthood. It's almost been back to back. I haven't fully healed from it. I just want to know if it's true? Or am I getting scammed? Some psychics want to charge me 125-500. I haven't paid anyone because Ive been scammed before... But...what they're saying makes a lot of sense. Should I pay for an cleansing and healing?Can anyone help me or direct me to someone? Or should I try and continue to get closer to God? I heard what's meant for you will never leave you. Recently,I've been reading the Bible,going to church,and praying for 5 months straight. I haven't had a lot of emotional relief yet...I'm in alot of pain.The depression won't go away. I've had depression for 18 years. I'm 27 now... Thank you so much.

i can’t pinpoint when they started, but i’ll give three major ones:

when i was 13 my mom came to tell me that my aunt had breast cancer. i immediately had a strong emotional reaction that was a bit too much. my mom told me that she would be okay and everything would be fine. i remember thinking, rather knowing, it wouldn’t. that she would die. she was dead in under a year.

when i was 14 i had to see a chiropractor because i sprained my neck. he gave me an option to come back on saturday or monday, and i remember thinking in my head that we better make it saturday because one of use wasn’t going to make it to monday. like, without skipping a beat that was in my head. he died that sunday as someone crossed the centerline on the highway.

when i was 16 my dad and i were waiting for the metro when i had an awful, sickening feeling in my stomach. i just knew something bad was about to happen, and to please be careful. be so, so careful. i couldn’t explain it. then a few moments later a woman’ umbrella stroller got caught with her baby in it in the doors, i can still remember how she screamed.

additionally, i feel overly drawn to abandoned places. there’s been a few times i wanted to go somewhere but a local or a friend told me it was haunted, specifically with dark energy. when i say drawn i really mean called, like the places seem warm and inviting to me.

realistically i want to work on strengthening and reconnecting. i need to be able to realize when things are dangerous, because if they feel so warm and inviting to me i might not have my guard up like i should.
