Am I paranormally gifted? How do I proceed?

Thesentinel said:
That is exactly my question. I do not know which gift or ability I have. Thats why I considered to visit a physic and see if they can tell me something or notice something without telling them my question. I still wonder how this physic woman could say that I am paranormally gifted during a the peak time of activity in our other house. Did she sense the energy? Did something tell her? So many questions..and shame she is not around anymore...

I would highly recommend you take the psychic's statement and throw it out of the equation. I'm not saying you aren't gifted...I'm saying her statement shouldn't play into your search for abilities. I once had a psychic tell me my son would die before he was 18...he didn't. Had another tell me I have no psychic abilities....got a ton of them since childhood. Trust yourself and your own senses not someone else's words or reading of you.

We all have the ability to use some psychic senses. Those can be honed and trained. What do you do naturally? That should be the question for you here. From what you are describing about sensing things, you may be a natural medium or intuitive. You may even be an empath. Finding out which involves listening to the inner voice for guidance, and finding out if your skills seem to fit with the descriptions of these "labels." Charleh gave you some good advice on the practicing situational awareness and focusing on gut feelings. I agree...start there.

My suggestion, which is just in my experience, it’s not a good idea for you to ask spirits to manifest themselves, especially in the form of moving something or other signs. Especially if you don’t know what these spirit’s origins and intentions are. For now, I recommend that you simply work on being aware of the spiritual influences in your life.

One thing you can work on is fine tuning your intuition. Since one of your family members has been negatively affected by the spirit world in one case, there’s a slight chance that you will be personally affected at one point. To improve your intuition will also in turn help you proactively protect yourself.

Excellent advice
 
If I might add a concerned comment. Becareful not to open doors you can’t close yet. There are many here myself included that have done that and paid a high price. Using any type of divination device without proper training, answering or talking to them (other than claiming your space and rights), can give permission to be involved with your life. Your life can become a living hell very fast. So proceed with care.

Welcome to the forum
I've only known people personally that supposedly had gifts just like the ones you speak of. First of all never use a board again, your asking for trouble. Second do your research from all perspectives on the matter. Coming here is a great start, but please deeply consider the warnings people give you. Having a supposed gift can be somewhat of a blessing and a curse. A person should never purposely open themselves to what they don't completely understand. I come from a Christian perspective and I can tell you negative spirits can and will fool you into thinking they are something else. That is their trick and they do it very well. This is more than likely why your family early on had so many issues. Negative entities find an open door, invite themselves in and create chaos! I believe certain people can have special gifts. I also believe that if certain gifts are not restricted and governed they can produce disturbing results in your life. Try not to reach out and provoke spiritual entities but instead let those experiences come to you in their own time. When they do use caution and your gut instinct. Don't take anything at face value.

I’v been thinking about the things that I do very well. And there is a few things I can come up with.

1. I handle animals really well and they are drawn towards me. Somehow I am always the chosen one when a animal has to pick a spot to sit somewhere whether it is pets or wildlife. They seem to feel comfortable around me. I can’t count how many times someone said: dont pick her up she doesnt w.. Ow okay.. she never let’s someone touch her or pick her up.

2. Adapting to the other person emotional state and behavoir. I can easily connect with different types of people, it almost always goes effortlessly. So far I only come across a few people where I just couldn’t get into the same state and that’s when things become very awkward for me.

3. Nothing special really but I have a stronge sense of smell. For example i can smell when a certain person has visited our home up till 8 hours after the visit.

Look up info on empaths. We have quite a bit of info here on the forum. Sounds to me you may share an empath's skills with humans and animals. I'll see if I can find you a few links to some info here.

Yup. Empath. Other question. How often do you meet someone for the first time an 15 minutes into knowing them, they for some reason felt inclined to tell you their whole life story?

Quite often actually. On first sight I might look as introvert but I feel the conversation gains momentum I become very open and usually this results in the other person opening up as well. Sometimes I am even a bit offended when the other persons doesn't open up but that's their choice. It's also one of my downfalls because it's not smart to open up to everyone. I got hurt pretty bad (emotionally) by some people who I thought were really my friends but actually they were not.

I can relate to some aspects of being an Empath but not all of them because I lived my life mostly as introvert.
