We are all psychic, but to varying degrees. Even psychic abilities face logical limitations; some people are just more sensitive, more sensitive in different ways, and more talented than others. Anyone can run, but some people run faster, longer, and with more grace than others. With training you can improve and maximize the psychic skills you have, just as you improve your speed, endurance and grace as a runner.
Sometimes psychic abilities remain dormant until a specific triggering moment, such as a near-death experience, or are discovered through concentrated efforts in meditation and mindfulness. There is also a wide range of talents, from simple intuition to channeling other entities to communicating with animals and so on.
This article is about requesting and receiving messages from loved ones who have passed away.
My trip
Full disclosure, I was a very sensitive growing child and very intelligent by most standard measures and tests. Like many or most people of my generation (born in 1968), I was introduced to the world beyond this world through religion, namely Baptist Christianity. Around the age of fifteen, I had had enough of the creative stories used to keep people in line and basically stopped going to church, much to my parents’ disappointment.
But by then they had a clear understanding of my intellectual and social problems with the church and decided it wasn’t a fight worth having. They were believers, but they were quite casual about it, thinking that it was up to me to decide, and maybe one day I would return to Christianity.
My scholastic and scholarly journey from high school to my doctorate took me deep into the ranks of atheists, and I bought and read virtually everything written by Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Ayn Rand, and Stephen J. Gould. I even taught skepticism during and after getting my PhD in English. There was life and then there was a dead end. Everything could be reduced to mind-matter explanations.
But strangely enough, during the same period I also found my way into astrology and tarot/oracle cards, more as creative exercises than as any kind of supernatural or new age belief. I gradually attributed my uncanny ability to read people to untrained sensitivity to micro-expressions and nothing more.
Breakdown and mental distress
Around the age of 41, I had a breakdown without a good psychological explanation. In any case, the psychologist I worked with, who was very highly regarded and respected, could not find a good reason. I had a happy childhood, reached the highest levels of academic status (and enjoyed getting there), and had a successful career and a very positive and supportive romantic relationship.
One Saturday morning in 2009, while driving down the highway to pick up a friend, I had a severe panic attack and ended up devastated for three years. I could only function in the most basic of ways and chose to look more closely at esoteric tools as extensions of the allopathic tools (psychology, psychiatry, and medicine). Ultimately, I found it both useful and necessary, but it was the esoteric work that restored my sanity, while the modern scientific options kept me alive and functioning so I could recover.
My first breakthrough came with Past Life Regression work and mediations that helped me reconnect with my intuition and psychic abilities that had long been hidden since childhood, many of which were more thoroughly suppressed by the church than by atheism.
Opening up and connecting with my maternal grandmother
In 2012 I successfully managed to get out of my anxiety and depression, thanks to psychiatry and shamanism, psychology and astrology. Part of my wonderful childhood came from time spent with my maternal grandmother, my maternal grandfather, and my paternal grandmother. They all lived in a trailer park in Clemmons, NC when I visited them most often between the ages of 7 and 12.
In the early stages of my psychological sessions, my therapist, Dr. Maya McNeilly, encouraged me to imagine the happiest and safest place I could go during a session or when I was feeling particularly anxious, and that place was the caravan of my maternal grandmother and grandfather.
By that time in my life, my grandmother had already passed away; my grandfather lived until 2015 and passed away at the age of 96. We were close and I visited him often while I was trying to get through my breakdown; he lived “in the country” of NC and it was a peaceful place for me to go and we would just spend time together for a few days or a weekend.
After my past life regression work and my psychology sessions, I started to feel more comfortable thinking and talking in terms of spirituality and paranormal phenomena. By going back in my memory, to the time I spent with my grandmother and grandfather, I opened up further.
Received the message and messages to this day
My grandmother was a very frugal woman, but never ‘tight’ with money. She lived simply and never showed me any anger or frustration at the limits of her circumstances. My father and mother steadily rose through the ranks of the middle class, from their poor and working-class households, and I reaped the benefits of their success, built on my hardworking grandfather who drove a truck, a working grandmother who worked on the assembly line and a dry grandmother. cleaner manager grandmother.
Each of them taught me valuable lessons about money, but it was my maternal grandmother who taught me a special experience. As a child, there is nothing more exciting than finding money on the ground, especially a penny. When I found my first penny at my grandmother’s house, she asked me if the coin was heads up or tails up.
I told her they were tails up. She then told me to turn it over and leave it on the floor so someone else could find it. If it was heads up, it was up to me to keep it. But if it was a tail, I had to leave it. When I asked her why she told me that sometimes God gives you the money and sometimes he wants you to know that you don’t need it but someone else does.” My grandmother was religious in a way that I could respect and I never voiced my atheist thoughts to her, probably because I knew intuitively that she was the most spiritual person I was likely to ever meet.
After she passed away, every now and then I found a penny and thought about her. But after my breakdown, I began to worry about my survival and whether I would have enough to get by in life, even though I had enough abundance and skills through my partner and family that would allow me to earn more .
And here my grandmother’s psychic and synchronistic messages went from random to very clear messages for me. Whenever I start to worry, and still do, about money, really worry, I will find a penny coming my way, sometimes heads up, sometimes profits up. Sometimes I even ask for the sign to know she is with me.
I know she will return to this plane of existence at some point, but she has put a lot of work and time into it, so I expect she will take a long mental break before returning. In the meantime, every cent is her way of saying, “It will be okay, just don’t let the worry overwhelm you.” I keep every heads-up penny in a resin frog next to my nightstand. And recently I had to buy a resin owl because the frog was full.
Asking for your loved one’s message
If you had someone special in your life, like my grandmother, and there was something about him or her that he or she shared with you, all you have to do is open up and ask for your message. If they are not reincarnated, it is very likely that you can have a connection and enjoy it. Maybe you’ve already got the connections showing up and this article can help you see them for the messages they’re intended for. I hope so.
