Any Mediums/psychics wanna chat? - Page 3

Has anyone experienced something like this....

When I was younger I would wake up in the night feeling a presence and feeling like I was being assaulted energetically, it happened about 3 times. I felt like I had to block myself as much as I could and eventually it stopped but it was really strange.

Another time I met a man and he had very, VERY intense energy, I was about 15 and he was in his 20s. He wouldn't look me in the eye, ever, I felt something weird about him, something very dark. One day he did look me in the eye and I saw this rush of images and when I said something to my friend, *who was dating him*, later, she said that I was describing his bedroom! A few days later I was at a friend's house sleeping on the couch and I woke up because he was standing over me making this sucking sound through his teeth. My friend said later that's the sound he makes when he wanted to have sex. I didn't see him again after they broke up but I felt all the time like I was being energetically HUNTED around him.

Okay, let me try to jump back in and catch up.

First of all my experience with Tarot in short has gone from playing around with first very simple deck. To buying a detailed book and depending way to much on it and not giving readings so much as reading from book. It was def. a crutch. Then I bought a Goddess deck that I loved on the principle that I was into all things Goddess at the time. But I couldn't read it very well. I tried for several years and I could read, but it wasn't great. I just wasn't in tune with it or vice versa. Then I worked at a metaphysical store and won a deck and it was awesome. It spoke to me in ways no other deck had. I don't even know what it's called or who it's by. And its not traditional at all. But the images are beautiful and intense. I can use that one really well.
But not that long ago (several months) I got a reading with a psychic and I asked about using different mediums. I talked about being interested in trying automatic writing. But she said to me that I did not need anything. I did not need any medium. I was powerful enough to just get straight info by stilling myself and listening. So I decided to give it a go. Now a little back story is that I haven't always needed Tarot and I have done cold readings before. But I always felt like I needed something. Like I at least needed to touch the person (I used to get a lot of info during massages that I gave and thru Reiki sessions, that I gave). Or I thought I at least needed to see the persons eyes. I hadn't done on line readings or cold call readings really. So anyways, when I got my reading I decided to test the theory and trust that the info would come to me all on it's own as long as I listened. And sure enough she was right. So I don't use any medium anymore except a little meditation and prayer before I start and end. I do use stones to enhance my energy levels and for protection.
Thus I started doing cold call readings and email readings, chat readings etc. It all comes quite easily and I'm grateful the psychic told me that b/c I think I was just slowing myself down thinking I needed some way to do readings.

But it is def. different for everyone. For sure!

[bigeyes]

yikes.

There are some people who subscribe to a theory that only people with good intentions have abilities, but in my experience it has not been true, and your story kind of backs that up. I used to work with a woman who had some abilities but she was very vindictive and back-stabby, always trying to screw people over. She portrayed herself as the victim, but in reality she was always setting people up. I never did understand what her problem was. I have encountered quite a few nasty folks working on the psychic lines who go out of their way to call other psychics just for the purpose of leaving nasty feedback to hurt their business. I always wonder what karmic impact that has for them.

Your encounter would have totally icked me out. ETA-I think we posted at the same time, I was replying to the previous poster.

And yeah, I think too, a lot of people with abilities have been abused, and having psychic abilities may make them feel powerful, and being vindictive is another way they feel like they take power back, so in some way their behavior is a reaction to their abuse, yk? It seems like a lot of the ones I've encountered feel justified in their actions and I feel like it's an overreaction, a transference of their anger from someone else's actions. They get even with everybody for something that happened to them long ago.

I have a bit of an adrenaline problem that seems to feed anger, and I think I pick it up from other people, which is probably part of the reason why I don't like to read people who have misplaced anger.

[IntuitiveJamie]

I'm totally confused by what you mean? ARe you talking about what I wrote? Are you saying that she could have been saying I didn't need anything to throw me off? Sorry for being confused!

[AprilDaisy]

takebirthback I don't use cards unless I want the specific focus they give me or for something like a 13 card read. These days, most of my reads are "handed information" from Spirit.

bigeyes I've read of such things on another forum discussing this. People are people no matter what they are gifted at and some are totally out to ruin people and even make it their "job". I really do like the fact that I am quiet about things....

[bigeyes]

for me, I got random psychic 'flashes' at any time without asking, but if I wanted to get information by asking, tarot cards were a way for me to do it.

I think it does work differently for everyone. I knew a woman who could just ask a question of the universe at night before going to bed and in the morning she would wake up and know the answer. I've never had any luck with that method, myself, nor have I been able to force a 'flash' to happen without using my cards to kick-start it. What I get often seems unrelated to the cards, but the cards somehow are a portal, or a window of sorts for me.

[IntuitiveJamie]

So you didn't really answer if you were talking to me, but I'm going to guess that you were. It never occured to me that the psychic would have been trying to screw me in anyway as another psychic. But she worked at the spiritual store I used to work at, so I knew ppl that knew her. So since she wasn't random that helps. Also, she was very very good. Once of the best readings I've ever had. So I believed what she was telling me. And than lastly, she never said I shouldn't use cards or something else, she just said, for me it wasn't necessary.
However, I hear what you are saying BIGEYES, and will keep my eyes open. I do tend to be niave when it comes to ppl doing me wrong, b/c I am not that kind of person. So it always baffles me that there are ppl out there that are out to get ya, yk? So thanks for the heads up.

But there are so many ways to do what we do. I don't really think there are too many wrong ways. The only ways that are wrong to me, are when they are on the dark side of things.


DynamicDoula-I have never experienced what you talked about. I have however heard stories like that many times. I find that to be super freaky. I think that we are very susceptable to things happening in our sleep. That is when a lot of ppl leave their body and astral travel. As well as we are susceptable to spirits visiting us and doing things. That would have creeped me out so bad, to then met the person to whom the soul belonged that was visiting me at night. How strange. I'm glad he's out of you and your friends lives!

Well, I was talking about Dynamic Doula's story. It reminded me of how when I first started trying to learn about what was going on with me, a lot of people tried to tell me how special I was and how only wonderful people had these abilities...but I haven't found that to be true. I like to hope most of us try to do good, but there are some nasties out there who are ego driven and kind of power-seeking. I'm always kind of glad I don't 'see,' and just 'feel.' I think if I saw little movies in my head it would be too much, yk?

The worst that ever happened, I think, was when I had a woman call about her daughter who had been murdered, and I felt the entire thing, all the details, but I wasn't sure if she knew. It was horrifying, that moment of do I tell her or not? And the knowledge itself freaked me out. I finally took a breath and asked her if she knew what had happened, and when she told me she did, I gave her everything I had. As it turned out, she wanted confirmation that she was right, and I guess some inspiration to keep pestering cops and insurance investigators. I have no idea what happened afterwards because I never heard from her again. It was back in the days when we were anonymous on the lines that advertised on TV and people dialed 900 numbers.

[IntuitiveJamie]

Oh well so much for being psychic!!

[IntuitiveJamie]

Speaking of which I would love to hear others strong points in their gift and their weak points.

I'll go first.

If I'm very well connected, I am excellent at getting names. I am good at getting to root causes of things. The "why" question. And I'm good at getting through the emotional junk.

I am not good at finding things. I guess remote viewing they call it. I've tried several times here on TOA and am never right. LOL I currently cannot even find my dh's wedding ring he lost. (speaking of which anyone here good at remote viewing?)

I also need to work on not jumping to conclusions with the info I get. To not marry the info. It takes time to put the pieces together sometimes.

Oh oh and I'm not good on the spot when ppl want me to see something right then and there. It totally makes me go blank. I'd love to be that psychic that does that and I'm working on it, just for kicks,. but for now, it just makes me crazy when they are like "will I get this job I applied for" and they are just standing in front of me and they throw that at me.

Next...

[bigeyes]

I'm good at nailing feelings and situations but I sometimes need the person to tell me which side of a situation they're on, depending on how 'on' I am on a given day. I soak up emotions and I'm not good at shielding, and I hate talking to people who are super angry and in denial about their part in how they got into a situation, like the love triangle people often are. I don't remember if I mentioned it in this thread or not (I'm really loopy on migraine meds so I could be rambling) but it is almost like an assault for me when I get a caller who asks me when is he gonna leave that b!tch? I sometimes ask them why are you willing to settle for a better than nothing relationship? but my preference is to not talk to people who are waiting for something bad to happen to someone else so they can have what they want, I don't like it.

I'm not much for finding things either. I'm good at using the exact words someone has used in a conversation that has already happened or one that is going to happen. I have a weird thing that I've done since I was a teen that I call drunken psychic tourette's syndrome, where I get too relaxed and blurt something out without realizing it and it's some awful truth that scares the cr@p out of someone or starts a horrible fight, like when I told a girl I'd just met that her date was married and I ran into her a week later at the mall and he almost punched my date because he thought he'd ratted him out. :

I seem to pick up on stuff really well from the internet, which is odd to me because I make electronic stuff malfunction badly and I would think it would somehow not work for me, but somehow I can tune in. I am tuned in to abuse victims in some way and usually can zone right in on the details of who the abuser is, but I don't get names as a rule or 'see' so I have to describe attributes to make people understand who I'm talking about. I've only gotten a name once, and that was when the person's sister was standing behind me when I was doing readings in a new age bookstore, the name flashed into my head, I thought it was odd, then when she was my next reading shetold me who she was I was like Oh, that's why that name flashed into my head! I know your sister.

I don't trust timing to be accurate in that I don't get dates to pop into my head the way other things 'feel' right...some things I just know are true, but when someone asks me for a time frame it's difficult to pin down. I know someone who does that accurately but she hasn't been doing readings for a while now and I don't know for sure why she stopped. She predicted my dh and I getting together in October and we started dating October 1st, 2005. Up until then I didn't know who she was talking about.

Sometimes I get stuff out of chronological order and I have to ask someone to tell me if I'm getting the present or the past, then once they confirm it for me I can go on and know where I am, if that makes sense. I also get stuck on something and can't get any new information until they tell me they understand what I'm getting, kind of like what John Edward does? Like once I had a very sweet lady who I kept getting sort of warlike imagery for and it didn't seem to fit but I couldn't get anything else, and I asked her if she had any kind of a dispute going on or a court case and she said no...and I kept getting the same thing over and over, and all at once her friend said she's got cancer and she's doing therapy where she imagines the good cells beating up the bad cells! Bingo. Then everything opened up and we could move on.

I pick up 'creepo' vibes easily. I was shopping years ago with a BF and we went into what I thought was a piercing shop/gift shop and got almost sick from being creeped out. I thought it was the guy behind the counter at first, but as we walked further back there was a bunch of serial killer merchandise, including art done by incarcerated killers... I had to go outside. I've also gotten creeped out from people I've talked to online and canceled plans to meet a date rapist...I got icky vibes from this guy and passed and the next day a woman posted on craigslist that she met him and he raped her. : I had a neighbor in Florida who gave me the same vibe and he ended up murdering another neighbor, after I had asked my 6'6" BF to just make an appearance to scare him off since he was always coming around and bugging me and he told me I was overreacting. So I come home and his face is on the front page of my newspaper and he's killed the other neighbor and kept her body in his apartment for several days. Yeah, overreacting.

One morning I was in the kitchen and dsd was doing something dangerous and I knew we were going to be going to the ER, but it wasn't for that particular thing. Later that day she knocked the ladder off her loft bed and fell and we ended up in the ER having her x rayed.

But, I can't always tell when people are lying to me and I don't seem to get warnings about car accidents that are going to happen to me or my family. It's weird.

[JTA Mom]

OMG bigeyes, I'm amazed you are still able to function with all that!!! I mean, one creepy person is enough, but several??? Aaack! Oh, and I dislike triangle people too. I was friends with one once--so not fun and it made for very uncomfortable conversations sometimes.

As for my strengths, well, if you need a protection 'spell' or casting of yourself or your house or whatever, I'm the one who can lock it up tighter than, well, Fort Knox, lol. I also am very good at making protection charms. They consist of the eye of Horus on one side, and the protection rune on the other.

Also, on some things, I just *know*. If you ever hear me say *I just know* then it will be so, lol. For example, one of my classmates was worried if she's ever get preggers since they'd been trying for more than a year. I *knew* she would conceive and a (general) when (the summer after her graduation). Lo & behold, she did. So, the things that come out of nowwhere that I just *know* are true.

This kinda relates to doing readings, esp. Tarot. I'm pretty spot on in my readings, even if they don't necessarily make sense during that time. I had one friend who is obsessed when she will meet the one. And the cards keep telling her she will--if she will get out of the way. I think she's just grasped that thought, but she's realized that she isn't ready to be coupled up--yet.

As for weaknesses, I don't trust my intuition 100%. Hence my constant second guessing with Tarot meanings, lol. I don't want to wander down the path I've seen a few others go on--the inward, I can never be wrong, everything I need is in the spiritual world type. I'm also constantly checking to see if my thoughts really are my own. I'm a pretty strong empath with sucky shielding abilities, so a lot of the times, the stress, anger, elation, etc are not my own but that of others.

I guess my sucky shielding is another weakness, lol. I have always had that problem. I want too much to reach out to people and help that I've ignored protecting myself. I've gotten better, but not much. In a way though, it's a strength too, because I can read people & crowds really really fast and know exactly what the mood is like & what they are likely to do. In this way I've sensed creepy stalkers way ahead of time (like you, bigeyes) and manage to 'outsmart' them.

The worst is the surprise 'jump'. I've had it happen a few times where I'll be grocery shopping, turn the corner and been HIT with mega-nasty energy from someone. Ugh. I hate the way it punches me. I also hate going to 'psychic' fairs, lol. I can feel everyone else trying to get a reading on me. My sister agrees that it feels like tentacles stroking us. We never talked about it until one time and we both came to the same conclusion--that our way of 'feeling' out people involved sending out 'feelers' and that having the same done to us, in a huge group, was uncomfortable. It makes for an interesting time meeting up with a single person who is similar though. We're both silently trying to 'feel' each other out while trying to have a conversation, which is really hard if we both have to focus on feeling each other out and talking! lol It's just overwhelming if there's a large amount of people doing it to me, kwim?

[bigeyes]

I don't feel specifically always who it is in a crowd like that, and in a reading sometimes if someone has applied for multiple jobs, I can't tell which one it is that I feel them getting because I don't get names, so I can tell a job is coming but I can't always narrow it down to which one it is, which isn't always helpful. I find very specific job hunt readings to be stressful because I'm more about feelings than things, and a lot of times an interviewer really likes you but doesn't have the final say in whether or not you're hired.

It's the weirdest thing though when I'm talking to someone about something totally unrelated and a piece of information just flies into my head about them. I've often wondered if my face changes and people notice when I get a particularly disturbing piece of information about them, because occasionally I get something and it's so shocking or weird I don't say anything, but surely I look shocked.

I sometimes do readings on unsolved crimes just for my own curiosity to see if I'm right if they happen to be solved in my lifetime. I got a flash about OJ right when the news hit that Nicole was dead, but nothing about the trial, so I was very shocked when he was found not guilty. There's a well known missing persons case right now I expect to be solved in my lifetime that my tarot group did readings on about a year ago, and I'm sure I know who did it, but it's frustrating because you know unless you can lead someone to bodies you don't have anything anyone can use. I hate the way so many fake psychics complicate murder cases and upset families so I'd never contact anyone unless I could walk right up to the site, yk? A few details aren't going to cut it.

[AprilDaisy]

My strongest points...personality. Both with people I talk to in real life, here, and the spirits that come to me. I may not get a person's name or know them, but I can usually tell the kind of person they are and what to expect from them. In this aspect, alot of my readings have to do with helping people see a different view and to try doing things differently.
I also have a tendency to say stuff and half the time I don't realize the impact until later. Example, I was telling a friend (who happened to be riding around with this other chick) that I thought a girl from the neighborhood was making passes at my Hubby and that that girl had another thing coming and she'd better not lay a hand on him if she knew what was good for her. I found out later that the chick riding with my friend was the one actually making bold moves. Since that whole conversation, the chick hasn't even looked my Hubby's way. Another recent one was when I was at a funeral and made a comment about only being able to tell my twin Uncles apart was that one had the same wife and the other is always with someone different (he's on his third wife). That one line made such a huge impact on all the people involved that heard it. I wasn't really trying...it just sorta came out.
I can give information as I'm talking to someone...so the conversation doesn't even look like a reading, it's more like a chat between people.

I don't get names usually, nor do I predict. I can get a feeling on how something may go and will mention it, but will also say that it's not set in stone.

I've not ever been to a "psychic fair" and now I'm not sure I would go, lol. I also have a tendency to shut down around crowds of people. Like, extra protections get put on me because I'll go to something like the mall or flea market and be "normal". lol I'll only get information if I need it (like one creepy guy, or telling a lady where the angels were in a store, or talking to a guy about fixing a fence that he needs to fix...something else random like that). <thinking on it right now, sometimes I wonder why though. One particular instance was when I was looking through scrapbook paper on clearance and came across a military one. I then told the two women standing there that that paper was available. I had no reason to do that, but it turns ot one's Hubby was in the military, just not that branch. They told me that, thanked me for pointing it out, then went about their way. Obviously that was something, but I had no idea where it was supposed to go.>

I'm good at finding things in my house...even if I didn't put it down. This comes in very handy. Not good at finding things in others' houses. I also don't do the whole unsolved crimes thing...nope...nada.

That's all I can think of right now.

[IntuitiveJamie]

I do medium work as well as finding missing ppl. I'm only on my third case with that. The first one fell into my lap and was almost too easy. So I assumed they'd all be like that if they came to me. Wrong. They are not all that easy! I don't search them out though. They have to come to me and it's all local right now. I agree Bigeyes-about not saying anything unless you have some of what you know is concrete evidence, b/c authorities often don't know where to go with the info. The first guy we did pretty much walk up on. These other two are not happening so easily. We'll get there though, I know we will.

I also get creepy vibes or just vibes in general from ppl. My two children are sensitives like me so I have to not only guard myself, but I also have to guard them as well. I know they can see right through ppl.

I think the worst experience I have of seeing something unpleasant was one time when I was massaging a man. Father of a friend. First time meeting him, don't know anything much about him, seemed nice enough. Halfway through all of a sudden I start getting flashes of him molesting little girls. It made me sick but there wasn't anything I could do. I couldn't just stop the massage and accuse him. So I had to go deep in myself, shut off what I saw and finish the massage. It was awful. I learned then, that you get the good with the bad and that it's not just all pretty roses what you see. AND that you don't always get to pick.

Oh and for vibes once time I met a guy that was the new boyfriend of a friend. Never met him before and I left feeling like he was totally a chester the molester. Long story short he was. He was that guy that meets 13 year old kids from the internet. : I was so disgusted and it disturbed me really badly b/c I had ignored my first intuition b/c it was my friends boyfriend and I thought I was just being mean for no reason. I WON'T ignore that again. In fact I've actually come to learn that I am very good at finding the creepy molester ppl. I think it's cuz I was molested at a young age, so I think I have radar for it.

On a positive note, I love being able to see the angels for who they are! I love it when I meet someone and I can tell that they are one of Gods gifts to this earth. They are truly bright lights that touch everything and everyone with love.

[bigeyes]

Health matters, I'm hit and miss. I either totally nail it, or I have no clue what is wrong with the person. There doesn't seem to be a happy medium. Sometimes I know what it is and what area of the body it is, but I don't know what it's called and can only say you have to go to this kind of doctor to get treatment for it, but it's confirmation that the person isn't a hypochondriac.

[IntuitiveJamie]

You are making me think of more things I'm good and not so good at.

I also do not think I'm a medical intuit. I don't see specifics.

Also is anyone good at the pregnancy bit? I can sense pregnancy when not visible yet. or even when someone has that energy coming close to them, even if they don't know it. But I am def. hit or miss when it comes to gender. Which is so lame since it's only 2 choices! LOL

[AprilDaisy]

I don't do medical and I don't do pregnancy either. Hmm...yep, definitely gets one thinking of what they can and can't do.

[bigeyes]

I had a run of pregnancy predictions and sex predictions for several years that were dead on.


Then I did a prediction here on MDC for a mom who was worried about her pregnancy and she miscarried.

So I have a ton of hits and one very bad miss. The misses kill you, though. I don't care if you're right a thousand times, the misses are just awful.

I know circumstances change, but why??? I should have gotten that information, or a message to not tell her anything at all.

[mandib50]

i am best at emotional issues/health issues/chakra stuff. i am not so good at "predictions" - you know the questions people love to ask ... am i going to get pregnant, will i get the job, what is my life calling, when will i move. i am not great with timing either.
