This is probably a stupid question

Psychic and Paranormal

When I was a child, I was really wanting it to stop raining....this chant came to me, so started saying it, with the melody that had also come. It stopped! I would do this on occasion throughout my childhood. I made mention of it to a therapist....of course, I was labeled and they didn’t believe me. Anyhow, years later..in my 50s now, I still remember the chant....and it still works. I have not shared that with anyone since my bad experience when I was young. Now I don’t feel so crazy after all. The words don’t even make a whole lot of sense but it works. I don’t know if it’s the melody or the words or both. Strange how I still remember it in detail.

Hi @loconnoro...welcome back!
1-I have a lot of sensitivities....mainly medicines. Some which have the opposite effect on me, for instance, NyQuil.....makes me feel like I’ve drank a pot of coffee, lol.
2-My diet changes frequently....whatever I crave I eat. I did however go through a spell when I could not stomach any kind of meat..(kinda relates back to question 1). I did feel a lot clearer then, but after about a year, started eating small amounts of meat back into the diet. I do always crave carbs...all the time.
3-superheroes....hmmm. The only one that comes to mind is cat woman...lol

Can a Narcissist be an empath?

Empath

Kinda late to the discussion on this one but the topic was revived again....totally synchronistic since this has been on my mind regarding my son. Without going into a long discussion about my son’s screwed up past, his narcissist dad has done a number on him....which made me think about @chrisis post above. I know my son has some ability...have seen PK with him firsthand, however, the damage that has been done to him throughout his life has made him display the “cold empathy”. This makes me wonder if he is a damaged empath, or if he is just a narc/socio/cluster b. or a bit of both? He has been diagnosed with bipolar but denies that he needs help. He definitely does not want to ever feel....he buries it deep! Oh the hate and anger that he buries is excruciating. So, yes, it makes me wonder if you can be both, or is my maternal connection with him clouding my read on him? No one ever wants to admit or face the fact that their “child” (he is an adult now) could be so toxic.

@hop-daddy, yes salt baths are also my go to on a regular basis. I prefer Himalayan sea salt...Dr. Teal’s Pink Himalayan mineral soak is the best...has a nice citrus oil also. As for stones, I have a half geode of amethyst on my nightstand (helps with nightmares also) as well as a half geode of clear quartz in my room. I had given my son a big chunk of rose quartz that he has in his room, although I don’t think he has been cleansing it as he should. On occasion I will place my selenite wands around as well. @tigerlily, as for your uncle, I haven’t seen or heard of relatives attach per se, but they will look over you...especially if there is a bond...as like the daughter he never had.

@hop-daddy....oh boy the strange people! They are definitely drawn to us. As a female I am naturally on alert with these guys. You’re right...some will follow. I have had a few scary ones....not to get off topic, but you struck a chord, lol. One followed me home, the other was a client (Accountant here) that moved to my town “just to be closer”....extra creepy. I wound up “firing him” due to the unnerving feeling that I would get around him. I believe we are beacons of light for the people with issues.

I have the same happen to me all the time. I used to think it was my looks but it doesn’t matter if I’m dressed up with makeup or sans makeup with comfy clothes on. Males, females, it doesn’t matter. It used to bother me but I’ve grown used to it and don’t take it personally anymore. Some that stare make me uncomfortable, others don’t but I still feel the stares. Most of the time now I will look back and smile....some smile back, others look away. I don’t know if it is something that people do on a subconscious, soul level...perhaps they see something within us.

@hop-daddy....I can so relate to everything that you mentioned in your reply. The voices...not really a voice but more like telepathic information for me, for a lack of a better description. Yes, they directly affect your actions....and thoughts. The one last year, the suicide victim...I started smoking and drinking, and I hadn’t done those things for years. It was as if he did not want to give up his habits, but rather experienced those through me. Like you though, I do experience the good things....like random acts of kindness out of nowhere. It is magical to see how these acts really brighten a person’s day....the beauty of being an empath ☺️. I can now pretty much discern the personality changes as linked to deceased ones. I still struggle with discerning the energy drains though. Mostly because of the living situation at my home...with my son still here and also my husband. I have become very aware that unfortunately they are both energy drains. I have found that I have to spend a few days away from them at a time to clear myself.....balance, center and ground. My crystals help, but not as effectively as they should under normal circumstances. Otherwise I also pick up theirs deep dark buried issues. I have tried discussing this with them so they can address their issues, but they are unconsciously aware of the issues buried, or so they say. Denial pops into my head. With my son also....he is a notorious projector, which doesn’t help. Up until the time my son moved in I was totally unaware that my husband was an energy drain....until I had two under the same roof. I have become very aware since now I’m on “high alert” with the both of them. As for deceased people...not sure, although on occasion I will get drained but then struggle to place whether they are from the dead or perhaps someone that I just had contact with. The struggle is real, lol

Empath

Crazy experience @hop-daddy! I’m glad you were able to get rid of that one. My attachments have not gotten that violent....for me, they change the way I think and affect my demeanor and actions for the most part. Like picking up bad habits or as with one that I picked up...gave me a hatefulness towards the male gender. That one my husband literally witnessed when it attached....poor guy, lol. He was actually the one to suggest attachment, since this was early on discovering that I was an empath. I totally felt like it was my own thoughts....oh the fun of being an empath, lol.

@tigerlily....As for cleansing crystals, I usually charge them in the full moonlight, but I also use sunlight. On occasion I will put some of them in sea salt, others in running water. One thing that I do is give them a cedar box to live in. That seems to keep them protected and ready to go. The cedar acts as a protection shield from any outside negativity that they may soak up from the surroundings. It also promotes the drawing in of good energy. Have you ever noticed an abundance of cedar trees around cemeteries? That’s why, it’s also a really good smudge material. As with you, I also like Palo Santo, it leaves a nice aroma for the end of the smudge ceremony. Blessings

Have you ever heard of Clairgustance and Clairsalience?

Empath

Thanks for sharing 😊
Yes! clairsalience is definitely one of my strong points. I always know when Mom’s around, as she was a heavy smoker. I will also get other phantom smells...perfume, BO, and the like. It also comes through as a premonition.....strangely enough I always seem to know if someone is going to have a blowout on the road as I can smell burnt rubber before it happens. This has happened to me on more than one occasion...saving me from potential accidents. One involving a semi truck....you don’t want to be behind or next to one of those when it happens...not pretty, lol. Smelling house fires before they happen also....

@tigerlily
Thank you for sharing.....although I use crystals on a regular basis, I have to admit there were some on the list that I’ve not heard of. I am drawn to the darker stones, some which I keep on 24/7 for good measure 😉. I have found that one of my favorites on the list outside of the black ones is Labradorite. Sound like I may need to add Staurolyte to my collection as I seem to be prone to attachments regardless of how vigilant I am with protecting myself.

Sorry about your work issue....work is one of the worst places for negativity imo. I am fortunate enough to not live in a big city...I don’t know how you guys do it. There are still drawbacks from living in the sticks though....small town judginess...

How Ghosts Impact Us

Psychic and Paranormal

@hop-daddy With me it’s different faces every night....my take on it is deceased people trying to get me to help them....we emit a light that the deceased can see...similar to what happens with mediums. I am in no way saying that I am a medium, but perhaps they see that the possibility is there.

On the attachment subject....I am more and more convinced every day that there is definitely influences by others on the other side of the veil, whether it be deceased folks or other entities. Most people cannot discern such but since I am more in tune with the other side of that veil, I can discern who or what is influencing me

How Ghosts Impact Us

Psychic and Paranormal

Great article @hop-daddy
A couple of things mentioned in the article resonates with me. The first being seeing faces while trying to go to sleep....I believe we had discussed this a while back. It’s almost like viewing pictures in a yearbook....one after another after another.
The second one is of having someone attach to my aura...this happened about a year ago. Interesting that the article mentions how “mirroring” happens. The guy that attached to me had committed suicide. He also liked to drink and smoke. Funny thing about this is, before my awakening I was prone to suicidal thoughts. Years ago I was also a heavy drinker and smoker, but hadn’t had a cigarette or a drink for a long time, but when he attached to me it was full on....I started smoking and drinking.
Very interesting indeed......

Left, right, or both

Empath

@crystalsage
I use both left and right too...although I was born a lefty, the school I went to made me use my right hand. I write with my right hand, but like you, some things just feel more natural using my left.
@hop-daddy
When I’m overloaded it seems to leak from everywhere....but if intentionally directing it, as like helping others, is when it comes from my right. Discovered this while sitting with terminally ill patients. First noticed this while sitting with my dying mother years ago....before I realized that I was an empath.
Blessings

Left, right, or both

Empath

For me, it comes in on my left, leaves on my right. I don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but I was born left handed. As far as crystals go, if I need the energy from it I will wear it on my left hand...if I need to send the energy out....right

With that said, I’m curious....were you born left or right handed?

Thank you @Hop-daddy <3
Have had to take a hiatus from everything to channel my energy on the task at hand. The PK activity has subsided however still working with a very damaged and toxic person. He is improving but still a long road ahead. Chord pulling has been very helpful but it it something I have to do quite often to stay balanced, as well as using my crystals, salt, sage and Palo Santo.

@womanwhowalks
Thank you for the much needed advice. Just knowing that the cords are there make it easier to deal with. I have not been able to perform this yet as my life is so hectic right now it’s crazy.....it is hard to get time to do this as my hubby already thinks this is all really weird so waiting for him to not be around for the removal (he was ok with me doing what he called....er.....hocus locus, but now there are two of us around and it creeps him out....staunch Christian beliefs) lol

@hop-daddy
Everything you mentioned rings so true....I am loving him through this as Zacharias mentioned. This has been the greatest test so far as really learning how to stay centered and grounded....and transmuting all of the past BS. He is responding well to the positive energy that I try to keep flowing. He is also working with crystals that is also helping

Thank everyone so much for the input and support through this difficult time.....what doesn’t break us makes us stronger!

Psychic and Paranormal

@womanwhowalks Thanks for the chord cutting advice....I have cleansed him with sage, Palo Santo and salt, all of which he asked me to do. I have suggested chord cutting to him and he agreed....after I explained to him what has been occurring. I am always hesitant to do energetic things without a request for such as to not infringe on free will. It had never occurred to me that his dad could be the drain...but in retrospect it is him. The energy I feel from my son feels just like his dad, which I had chalked up to my son just picking up traits from his dad and reminding me of him. My son in the past seemed narcissistic but now I see that he is just starved for love and attention since he has had very little of this since my divorce from his dad years ago. My son has a very good nature all in all...just extremely damaged.....I believe that good nature is why his frustrations come out and affects electronic gadgets rather than taking it out on others.....or himself which he has done in the past

@zacharias - His name is Tony, thank you for the offer to pray for him. I am for the most part letting the negative energy flow through and I release it into the ground, however, he is also very good at draining energy...something that I know he does unconsciously, so I sometimes find myself a little to depleted to do so effectively.

@hermes - We have found a lot of similarities between the two of us which I do feel is helping him open up...the problem lies mostly in his hard wired fight or flight instinct, which on occasion depleats me as well, and then it is a lot harder to channel positive energy and stay non judgemental.

It has been a long few days, as we have also had my 2 year old granddaughter/his daughter the last several days which my son is very happy about this but he is not the most responsible person, so in actuality it has been like taking care of two children at once. Now since I have finally found a time to recharge (something that he doesn’t seem to understand) alone at last! Spending time with my cats, who have not been around much since all of the human traffic in the house, haha. I am finding my center again. Thank you both for responding. I hope he starts to realize his worth and start loving himself rather than seeking attention from outside sources....something that it has taken me years to discover. Perhaps with the guidance, it will not take him as long. All I can do is reinforce that he is loved here and that he is free from the hell that has been his life until now.

Recently my adult son came to live with me. I need to give a little background as to understand the severity of his deep rooted issues. I apologize in advance if this triggers anything in anyone.....He has had a very turbulent past since childhood due to his narcissist father gaining custody of him when he was small to use as a pawn for monetary gain....I had to pay child support. The manner in which he gained custody was heartbreaking.....he was pretty much isolated from me and according to what my son  has told me, he pretty much grew up in the street....neighbor to neighbor because his dad would tell him to go away and not bother him. Anyhow....you get the gist.

Fast forward 20 years....he has come to live with me after a drug overdose, so I’m really trying to make this whole dynamic work, his dad didn’t even show concern when he found out about the overdose so if feel that I am his only hope, but, whenever my son gets extremely agitated he will set off my weather radio and the lights dim or flicker. He sets off the fax machine as well....kinda chirps like when lightning strikes close by. 

This is very concerning to me since I soak up energy so easily. I have been hyper vigilant on protecting myself, however, on occasion it is extremely hard. He has told me that this happens to him on a regular basis.

I have observed that when he had to go to his dad’s house to get some of his belongings, it happened afterward, then also after dealing with his ex. I have been discussing with him that he needs to let these feeling out and talk but he keeps everything inside, which I believe is contributing to the issue.

Has anyone else out there have any experience with such, or just want to give some input?

The 6 Types of Psychic Empaths

Empath

@hop-daddy
Great article....thanks for sharing I can definitely say that 1, 2 and 4 are my dominant traits. Forgot that they all had specific names,

What is wrong with me?

Empath

Hi, Occasionally we have to let out what is haunting us regardless of how dark it is. I have been where you are years ago. I cannot speak for you but perhaps sharing a small portion of me you can make some sense out of what is going on with you. I do want to ask if you have considered that it could possibly be depression? Reason being is I am no stranger to depression, it runs deep in my family as it is hereditary. What you write shows the hallmarks of depression......just saying.

I am not looking for sympathy here as I have made peace with my troubled past. I have had quite the turbulent life that included being molested as a child, physically abused and emotionally used in my relationships. I have witnessed things that no one should ever be exposed to. This made me react exactly as you have written. I see someone that has been hurt very deeply and doesn’t want it to happen again so you build a wall of sorts and put on the “tough” front as so you will not be injured any more than you have. After a while of doing this, it comes second nature even though it’s not your true essence....the one that feels bad after pushing away. I don’t know how long you and your ex have been separated, but dealing with coming out of a relationship with a narc can affect you negatively for years....been there done that. Maybe write down the nasty message you want to send your ex to get it out of your system, then do a ritual burning of the note....that in itself is very cleansing.

First and foremost, take care of yourself.....treat yourself to something that you like doing and makes you feel good. Get out in nature if you can and just get some fresh air, go for a walk. Soak in a tub of salt water. Perhaps you should look into seeing a doctor to rule out depression. You are not a bad person so don’t tell yourself you are.

Blessings

HIGHLY SENSITIVE PEOPLE

Empath

@hop-daddy.....oh man did you hit the nail on the head mentioning how it’s hard to be in a relationship with a non empath and how they cannot deal with our roller coaster emotions. I have become way more sensitive than I used to be....not sure if it’s due to my spiritual awakening or the fact that I am not medicating or drinking to numb. Either way I was told by my husband tonight that he doesn’t like what I have become.....ouch! No understanding whatsoever even though I told him it wasn’t my mood but picking up on someone else’s. I’m the same person, but more hyper aware. I am feeling he does not like the bs detector in me, he lies on a daily basis and I have been calling him on it lately instead of just ignoring it as I have for way too many years. There has been a lot of emotions in the air also that I have been picking up on which is making me very moody even though I have been doing self care and grounding. Today was a challenge in particular, I sent a card to someone having a hard time....bam...I was feeling all of their “stuff”. The struggle is real.

Welcome back @kit-kat..it has been a while. I know I’m late to this discussion but it is because in a sense, it is hitting really close to home. It can be heart wrenching to know that someone is not good for you energetically but yet you still love them. I went against my nagging gut instinct in the beginning, now almost 10 years later, I know what I have to do. It doesn’t make it any easier. I hope that the pain is going away and that you are healing in the process. Just know that you have people here that care for you. Although we all don’t see each other outside the virtualness of this forum, we are all connected as kindred spirits just the same.

Thanks for sharing @crystalsage 😊
One of my favorites for grounding is magnetized hematite....some call it magnetite, lately I’ve been wearing it around the clock and find I’m much more grounded and centered. If you try it, it’s best to start wearing it slowly as your body has to get used to it gradually...at least in my case. Glad to hear your surviving in your situation. It can be hard to be around family when no one knows that you are an empath and things can get....ummm .....dysfunctional for a lack of better words

@tigerlily
Forgot to mention something else rather curious. Not really related to dreaming...or perhaps it is. I have been told that I speak in tongues on occasion in my sleep. The oddest thing about that is when it happens, I will not remember a dream connected to the event....won’t evern remember dreaming on those nights. My husband will tell me in the morning after those nights that it sounds like some kind of foreign language which he doesn’t understand. Makes me wonder what is going on in the spiritual world when that happens.

@hop-daddy
I have various ear sounds, ranging from the high pitch in one ear to a low hum in both, which usually happens when I get stressed out or am around too many people. At times I even get a sound that sounds like an electrical short. The first time that happened I was sure there was an electrical problem in the house....spent all day trying to seek it out, just to find it happened again driving in the car which made me realize it was something other than a physical thing. I’m curious too as to whether some of theses sounds are from spirits.
Side note....the first time the electrical short noise showed up was at around 3am....woke me out of sleep thinking there might be a problem in the walls :/
I have heard the high pitch sound off and on my entire life. I have had my hearing checked many times just to have the docs tell me I had better hearing than most....go figure

I can relate to the birthdays in December, there are a lot of them in my immediate family...it can be rather tiring along with all the Christmas celebrations that go along with December. I find myself dealing with empath burnout that @hop-daddy mentioned in another thread right now due to all the “peopling” I had to do.

Taking notes is a great way to figure out what is going on with you....although there is a lot of good reference info here, and even others that have had similar experiences....we are all different so we might possibly experience the same things but take away different meanings of such. You’ve got the take it all in then figure out what reasonates with you.

For instance, for me, the high pitched noise I hear in my right ear appears to be from my spiritual awakening....the ascension process which resonates with me.

We are all on a self discovery journey at this time....I still learn and discover new things every day. The Universe and Guides will steer you in the right direction....you just have to be alert and pay attention.

From my experience specific smells that no one else can smell, which happens quite often for me is related to being clairscent. I have included a link to explanations on all the clairs below. It happens when I am being visited by the deceased. On occasion it will be from sensing something going to happen....for instance, smelling rubber in the car and seeing someone get a blowout several minutes later, or smelling smoke and finding out someone’s house burnt that I know.

The ear thing, you might want to rule out any medical conditions first, but it can be a variety of spiritual issues...you might want to google to research more and see what resonates with you.

Understanding Major Depression And Suicide

Empath

@hop-daddy
What a wonderful idea to post this....yes, it is dark but sometimes we have to look into the dark to find the light. Good time of year to do it also, the lack of sunlight in the northern hemisphere coupled with the pressure of the holidays and just the sad state of what seem to be the whole world.

I have had depression pretty much all my life, runs in the family. My grandpa committed suicide when I was a child. I have been on depression medication for over 20 years....occasionally I will be able to wean myself off of it but I alway seem to manage having to take it again, albeit a much lower dose than years ago. We as empaths seem to have lower energies seeping into our bodies just from the environment so we have to remember to take care of ourselves. This is not selfish but necessary. I do feel I need to mention medication....I take one that has been on the market since the 60’s...tried and true. It appears that some of the newer medications seem to have a side effect which I find disturbing. This is causing thoughts of suicide. This to me seems crazy that something you are taking for depression would cause such thoughts as the two go hand in hand. Just last week an acquaintance had that very same thing happen. The drug that he was taking was his ultimate demise...sad. If someone is considering treatment, don’t hesitate to ask for something that has been on the market a while rather than what is popular at the time. Not saying that this would happen to anyone else taking the newer drugs, but still something to be considered.

The spiritual article resonated with me for a few years ago I was very suicidal, had a life threatening car accident (not on purpose) which I did meet my guardian angel that let me know it was not my time. I had never felt so loved and calm as when he was there helping me. Since that time my thoughts don’t go there.....thankfully. To this day I do not see the accident as bad...it was a message delivered to me personally by The angelic realm. It literally changed my life....also the beginning of my awakening. Everyone needs to remember that no situation will last forever, we need to keep this in mind that “this too shall pass”. So when we are feeling in the depths of hell, that just like a roller coaster, you will go back up to the top eventually. To anyone reading this that is in the dark mire of depression.....you are never as alone as you feel.

Are you an open book or not?

Empath

“I can be myself with my wife and some close friends. But honestly, I don't feel like anyone truly knows or understands me. I feel lonely a lot but at the same time find strength in my solace and can find being around groups annoying. I get this feeling that I don't fit in with most people but yet am pretty well received by others (it's more of a feeling that I am very different). And when I go through tough times I find that I am largely ignored and have to fend for myself. But as you noted, when people need help or want something I am the first one they call. I mostly come to this site for support and read a lot to understand the phases and challenges of being an empath. But I do know that all of these feelings and traits are classic empath traits. I'm past the point of feeling sorry for myself wondering why I have to be like this. And instead am on the path exploring and using my empathy to grow and help others. It makes it easier on bad days to have experienced the good days with my empathy”

I get the body heating up also....I call it power surges, lol. Ringing in my ears is more of a high pitched tone. I use to draw a lot when I was younger but the urge left me for years. Just recently I have picked up a pencil again and sketch what I see while meditating.
Not to freak you out, but the deceased can also for an attachment with a person. I have just realized that someone had attached to me....this is something that I have come to realize just recently. My daughter in law’s brother had committed suicide....I had visited his dad, a couple of days later I had an urge for a cigarette and started smoking...my mannerism changed. Didn’t realize what was going on for a while but then realized I was mirroring Brad. My husband brought it to my attention. Funny thing....my cats were acting differently with me....kinda like they didn’t know me. Anyhow, did a complete cleansing ritual....I am back to my good old self....and the cats are back to hanging out on my lap again. Getting off topic a little here..... I believe that these lost souls get afraid of crossing over and seek us out for help.

Spirit in my house?

Glad you are feeling better with everything. It takes practice to settle into what works for you. It is good that you are not afraid of your experiences. I have found that lately I have had the urge to draw after meditation. It is interesting the things that go into the paper that I reflect back on that have helped me advance my meditation even deeper. Kinda like a journal of sorts. Like womanwhowalks mentioned, the best thing to do is let your intuition guide you on what needs to be done

Sensory Overload Throughout December

Empath

Yes, @hana kinda makes you want to just skip over the whole month of December, lol
Not just the energy influx but also the stress of all of the funk going on lately....people are maxed out right now. We just all have to remember to take care of ourselves as we cannot pour from an empty cup. Whatever we have to do...soak in salt, meditate, get out in nature or just treat ourselves to things that just make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside or all of the above or whatever else resonates. We can do this as we are all survivors

Are you an open book or not?

@ohana
You stated it well...overstimulated and fried. December seems to be a constant array of people interactions....parties, recitals, shopping, etc
Enough to make anyone run for the hills...and the energies now are off the charts

Accepting my abilities

Welcome to the EC!
I personally don’t see colors that way, it sounds to me like you are seeing auras.
There seems to be a lot of strong energies around at this time.....it is creating anxiety and exhaustion as well. Be sure to take care of yourself during times like theses.....go out and enjoy nature, take a salt bath, have some alone time so you can recharge your battery

Keep in mind that the Universe and your guides do not judge....that is just a human affliction. Spiritual beings are in unconditional love to where there is no judging, only understanding
