Sensitivity

From a Psychic's Point of View

I think being sensitive might be one of those double-edged swords in people’s lives. On the one hand, a psychic would necessarily need to be sensitive. You need to be able to feel changes in the shifts around you. I’m not all that great with it. But here’s what I think would be a handy way of being sensitive. Hey, it’s what people call us.

In being open to sensitivity, a psychic, like I am, needs to be able to sense who they are talking to. I have settled down somewhat with this, as I have a Spirit Guide named Seth. I have, in my heart, placed him in charge of whoever it is that wants to talk to me. This is necessary, or at least it was in the beginning, to weed out spiritual lookie-loos, as if there is such a thing as malevolent spirits casting about for noobs to latch onto. I think that might make for a good scary story, but not something that a psychic need necessarily be afraid of. However, to hedge their bets, having a gate-keeper like your Spirit Guide, somehow weeding out undesirables, is cautionary.

Also, anything a psychic can do to increase their sensitivity, like having an altar, just a special place with things psychic on them, is helpful. It is special in your heart. Is it necessary? Maybe in focusing your attention. I can’t say I don’t have one, because I have, over the years, surrounded myself with any number of sensitive evoking things. For instance, I’ve got a bodacious amount of moldavite. It’s a space stone that is supposedly good for making contact with spirit guides, or extraterrestrials.

I also gave a piece of moldavite to a fellow psychic who reported back to me that she’d had four orgasms in her sleep that night. That’s what you’d call a really sensitive being.

Hey, want to hear a channeling funny? Many years ago, I asked my Spirit Guide if he’d ever met an extraterrestrial. There was this pregnant pause. I thought I’d stepped over one of those unspoken lines people have in their relationships, and I’d inadvertently said something bad.

He did respond. He said, “Who do you think you’ve been talking to all this time?” It was funny. My mind began making these ultra-fast connections. Spirit Guide – Invisible – Many Incarnations – Still Lively – Not of the Earth – Extraterrestrial. Got it in one.

A psychic uses their sensitivity to “see” those things that are important, or what might be important in a client’s life. Now, here’s something I have made a necessary approach for myself. I did this by comparing the information I have received firsthand from others who say they are psychic.

I do not speak in words of disaster. Okay, so your house is sitting on the San Andreas fault. Is this dangerous? Might be. Many people’s houses are sitting on fault lines all over California. It’s a roll of the dice as to whether your house is going to be swallowed by the earth. But it is part of your own lessons as a human being, how you are going to respond to dangerous situations. If you are of an optimistic frame of mind, you could think that if your higher self deems it important for you to be in the middle of an earthquake, then that’s what is going to happen.

Although I would not buy a house sitting near a cliff. Not in California. Whole neighborhoods have fallen into the Pacific.

There is no running from dangerous things. Shit happens. We’ve known that for years. What you can do is be careful. So, yes, a psychic might sense a shift in what is happening with you. It might be a shift toward a goal you let go of years ago. Maybe now is a good time to pick up the pieces of what you let go of then to pursue now.

Also, a psychic knows that people experience both good and bad things all the time. It is in how you might perceive these things as to how much effect they have on you.

For instance, love life gone asunder. He dropped you or cheated on you. Okay. That happened. Do you do yourself any good by becoming bitter? Does bitterness and anger overcome you to the point where you can’t breathe or think about anything joyous again? It could. But there is also the idea that you just learned something important about love. Think of it in terms of you just learned something important and now, bouncing on your feet again, you’re ready for something new.

Remember, shit happens.

Bitterness, anger, sorrow, and grief are seeds for more negative things that will undoubtedly happen to you. What is interesting is your client’s response. Maybe, they love wallowing around in despair. Maybe the tradeoff is that they get more sympathy. They don’t see that people are avoiding them like the plague because everybody is sensitive. Who wants to burn their hand every time they get too near a fire?

People have to learn their own lessons. No matter how many times someone else —their psychic, their mother, their boss —tells them something, it is up to them to do it. Nobody can force you to do anything.

I used to tell newly hired people in my company that one of the most important things they could do was to show up on time. You’d think that would be a no-brainer, but you might be surprised, or not, with how many people can’t manage to get somewhere on time. I also told them that calling in sick on Monday wasn’t going to do them any good. People start talking when patterns like that begin happening. Folks need to learn those things on their own. If it takes being fired, then disaster struck their lives, right? Was it their fault that they couldn’t wake up on their own? Many would say so. I say buy yourself an alarm clock and don’t stay up so late the night before. People just have to learn on their own.

I am not an exception either. Been there and done that. So, I know. I’m also 70, so I’ve done it a lot.

I’ve talked about how important it is for a psychic to be sensitive. How do you learn that? For one thing, you need to learn how to listen. Anybody can do that, whether they are psychic or not. You embark upon a journey of discovery about yourself. You might even want to go into therapy if you’ve got issues that keep happening over and over again. No, it’s not easy. Is it worth it? Yes.

The bad things about being sensitive? I can remember as a child being told over and over again that I was too sensitive. Lots of people said it to me. I never knew why, unless I was displaying signs of a psychic sensitivity nobody could or would recognize. More than likely, I was just surrounded by a bunch of narcissists, which is possible, given that as an adult I can spot one a mile away. Took me long enough.

Anyway, that’s on me. However, it could be happening to you, too. Technically, there might not be a whole lot of people actually diagnosed with NPD, which is Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Still, I really, in my heart, think there are a lot of people who have a touch of it. The world revolves around them even after they are adults. That’s one way of picking up on it.

Remember, you can never, ever change or control anybody else. You can only change yourself. You are not responsible for anybody else’s life. They are responsible for themselves. These are really hard lessons to learn. Learning them, though, will make your life so much easier.

Thanks for reading. This was not an exhaustive piece about sensitivity. It was just what came up for me to talk about.

Be kind to yourself, and thanks for reading.
