I think opening up about spirituality can be a difficult thing for most people, myself included. My journey with my faith has had it’s fair share of ups and downs, but overall I do feel as though I’ve been blessed with an understanding of Spirit that most people don’t receive at such a young age in their lives. Some aren’t willingly open to it at all.
As humans we always try to assign labels and classify things. For the longest time I resisted referring to these senses at all, and I definitely didn’t identify with the term “psychic.” Gratefully, Spirit has remained a constant presence in my life even when I hesitated to embrace it.
I did not realize that I experienced the world so differently from others as a kid. I thought everyone could feel and perceive the same things I could. I didn’t “see” literal ghosts (or so I thought) I saw things in the way we typically see things in this reality, just with a little extra. I didn’t think it was odd. Looking back now my intuition has always spoken to me loudly even as a child.
I’ve always loved history and visiting historical sites and museums. Glimpses of the scenes would replay in my head and I’d feel the energy of the location or object. A lot of the messages I receive come in my dreams as well. It takes time to get used to, and is more about discernment than listening, but that connection is so powerful and entrancing that it can be almost addictive at times. I could spend my entire life feeding the hunger to research, learn and communicate these experiences.
There are also drawbacks to being highly sensitive. I’ve sensed and connected with tragedies more often than I’d like to count. Sometimes the energy you read on others is so negative and malicious that it literally takes you aback. Depending on the type of work you have signed up to do here on this plane can also affect what you experience.
I am finally opening up about these senses I carry because I would love to find others who have their own experiences and abilities with things larger than ourselves too. I have found a lot of guidance and community in the Enlightened Empaths podcast with Samantha Fey and Denise Correll. Through their work I’ve been able to learn so much and finally identify these senses and experiences. I’ve had so many “ah ha!” moments with them as a listener and as a client that have brought my journey full circle and into an understanding that I was desperately searching for.
It’s their courage and generosity of Spirit to be so open about their work that helps me finally bring my own journey with Spirit out into the open today.
My real reason for finally opening up is that I know that now more than ever I feel called to share my connection with hope and my experiences. I’ve been blessed with too many experiences for me to deny that the impossible is possible and we can create a more compassionate world while doing so. I truly believe that, and in you and in us when we work together in light and love.
