Questions & Answers

Hey yall, thanks so much for hosting this series. It's really great to have a safe space to discuss vulnerable topics like this with the guidance of experienced folks! Since the Wednesday online sessions are booked up, I figured I'd ask this question here.

I've been a lifelong vivid dreamer, and I have a strong ability to recall full details of several dreams from every night. While I've not yet experienced any dreams with premonitions or predictions, I have been dreaming recently of my deceased grandmother and my still living grandpa. The flavor of these dreams feels distinctly different from most other dreams I have.

This lead me into pondering whether I may be starting to get a little closer to something out of my typical experiences. Even as a kid, I sought out books on developing psychic abilities, but have never had anything really happen despite my intense desire to connect with unseen energies.

Not really sure what my central thesis is here, I just feel like there's a weird shift happening in my sleep. I'm curious as to what you all see this as, or if I'm perhaps probing into nothing as I don't seem to have a gift for the spiritual.

Cheers and thanks, stay warm out there!🌿💖

I'm aware the current course has already started. In hindsight I wish I would have signed up for it but ended up not doing it so I'm hoping it will be offered again. Thanks!

I'm at the beginning of understanding a new perspective on consciousness and reality that includes the paranormal. "The Power of Now" is a good baseline for where I seem to be heading with my new understanding.

Along with that has come a renewed belief in the expanded perceptive abilities of humans.

I, however, have always been an analytical/logical person. My readings are suggesting that is a barrier to awakening whatever ability I may have.

The closet I've had to paranormal experiences were a dream visit from my Grandpa and a method I use for finding things that involves clearing my mind and visualizing the thing I'm looking for and following where it feels like it should be. It's not reliable in a way that I'd call a "gift," just something I do. I'm starting with meditaion. It's been good for me in a lot of ways. I'm in a rural town in the Bible Belt so there's no resources physically here. Any tips on getting started or even if it's possible for a hyper-logical person such as myself? Some online assessment at a website by Dr. Lesley Phillips peggged me as a logical type for whom awakening would be diffficult if not impossible. Thank you.

Hello!

I have lurked here for awhile but am finding that maybe I have some courage to ask a question.

I admit, I'm a weird "mutt", straddling being comfortably in the world of the material & informed by science, but also constantly being very much drawn back to the world of metaphysical topics, to the world I was very comfortable living in as a child.

I practice in two healthcare clinics, providing acupuncture to patients. Love my work, my colleagues and patients! But I struggle coming home with aches and pains, sometimes feeling emotionally heavy. I was told many times by older practitioners of my field to protect my energies in my work. I never took this message seriously because well, adulthood and real life stuff (and none of the fluffy wuffy).

I'm approaching a point in my life however, where I feel absolutely drained and am finding I need to set boundaries to protect my energy both at work, at home and with friends.

It's getting bad enough that it's making me frequently sick, constantly drained of energy, and feeling empty with nothing left to give socially, at work and also with family.

I stumbled upon your site after listening to your podcast which re-ignited something deep within me, nudging me to really take drawing energy boundaries and setting up energetic protection seriously.

Problem is, I'm about as intuitive as an eraser but for some reason, I seem to have a knack for taking home the gunk I work on in my patients. Maybe I'm just a little over empathetic and a people pleaser. But it's been a problem that I had for years which is starting to only now take a toll on my health and personal energy levels.

I realize it's something I have to work on (in addition to doing therapy, eating well, asking for help from friends more often, and recognizing what my body needs and listening to it when it's tired).

Are there ways to "set up a protective energetic perimeter" around yourself while at work so I don't walk home with patient problems?

I realize this is a very complex question and this may not be so easily answered on a forum. But I'm open to it being asked in discussion perhaps in an online session specifically for those of us who are curious and haven't a clue about how the metaphysical works.

Any insights shared here will be appreciated. Thanks for listening to this weird newbie question!

Hey, so I am trying to decipher if I have early schizophrenia. No one in the family has told me it runs in the family. But the other night I woke up to the sound of a pill bottle being shaken and saw a cross on the wall made from light sources outside my window at 2 am. Another day I woke up to this sound in my right ear of a couple having sex , but it was short and brief and loud. If it was neighbors it wouldn't sound like it was in my ear and it would have lasted a lot longer. I have been woken up in the past, so i inow the difference. These sounds really sounded real. Auditory when it comes to spirits and other things usually come up faint and I have to fill it in with my own voice. I also know that I have nerve damage, because i felt the tingling in my neck. I'm just trying to decide if these sounds that sound so clear and real is actually cause for concern. I have other symptoms to, but those symptoms can be for a lot of things. How do I tell the difference between my abilities getting stronger and something more serious. And how do I address it with my doctor without feeling like ill end up locked up somewhwre.
