Am I paranormally gifted? How do I proceed?

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.

Yes my mother warned me about it being more than a curse than a blessing. I was very well aware of the dangers and I appreciate your concerns. Even though I did all the proper rituals such as opening and closing prayers white candles etc I know the threat of inviting something bad is still there. I had my fair share of ouija board and i am staying away from it.

Perhaps you could suggest some perspectives (links) I can start researching.
 
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.
Actually empaths are typically introverts. And most of us have this strange gift of extracting stories from people. It makes for very interesting conversations :D

I'm taking a huge sigh as I write this because my viewpoint is often frowned upon because it's not a popular one. I may even upset you and a few other people on the forum. I am a straight shooter when it comes to most people. I am the same way with my clients because I know darn well what is bull and what isn't.
First of all I'm going to tell you that attempting to do opening and closing prayers is absolutely worthless. When you use a board you can't expect God to protect you before and after you willingly consult a demon for answers......flat out doesn't work that way. How do I know that any communication through a board is demonic? Because every case I have personally handled involving Ouija board turns out to be a demonic spirit masquerading as a human one. It always escalates into foul smells, shadow figures, oppression, objects being violently thrown, scratching, physical attacks including but not limited to incubus and succubus and more. I also feel people with abilities are just as easy to being fooled by demonic trickery. Let me ask you this....if a demonic spirit can pose as a Victorian women in a white dress or a child who plays with a little red ball, don't you think they could present themselves to a sensitive as a human spirit be it familial or non familial? I know this to be true because at investigations that are presumably human in origin, things take a huge turn with religious provocation. Just recently I did a house with a couple of pastors. The owners new something was there but not sure exactly what. Sure enough, as soon as the name of Jesus was used, prayer, asking certain religious questions that would only deeply upset a demon etc...we got growled at, we received to the bone cold chills, elevated and angry K2 responses and more. Plus normal human voice sounding evps turn into "Get out!", F%* you! and growls. If it would have been just "human" none of the methods we use should have produced the responses we received. I'm saying all of this because I believe actual human spirit interaction is way more rare than people want to believe. That is the great deception they produce and when you look how many people have haunting issues it's pretty evident. So in conclusion, if you legitimately feel you might have certain abilities that enable you to have heightened senses when it comes to spirits you need to be extremely cautious. You should also test a spirit and never take anything at face value. If something presents itself I strongly suggest you test it's identity. If you say "In the name of Jesus, what is it that you want?" they will do one of two things. If they respond in a negative manner then you have your answer and should pray for protection over you and your home.

As one who has used the board in the far past and learned well to stay away, I still must say one thing on this one. Prayer is NEVER wasted, especially on young innocents who have no clue what they're doing or getting into, IMO.

Otherwise, we're in the ballpark on thoughts here. :)

Totally agree

You obviously have more experience than me regarding this topic. I can only trust my gut feeling and both experiences did not feel negative however after the first we one I did notice an increase of activity. Sounds like you experienced the proper Ghost adventures stuff that is on TV where they provoke evil spirits at spiritual hot spots. I tried to do some EVP in my house but I didn't get any response.

Don't be bothered with what other people think no matter how strong your opinion is about something. I appreciate all the stories and details you guys give me. Right now I'm just sponge and try to absord as much info as I can.

I asked you for some perspectives I could research. Perhaps you guys have interesting articles/studies that you might want to share with me.

I think one thing you could work on once you’re comfortable is MAGICAL CENTERING, GROUNDING, AND SHIELDING

Don’t let the “magical” part scare you. I know some people come here with lots of preconceived notions about the word. This kind of magical centering, grounding and shielding is pretty basic manipulation of your own energy and that of the earth. Which reminds me, there’s very little snow on the ground! I should head out!

As far as perspectives or links....I don't have any direct links. My gut tells me to tell you to listen to the people on here that have gifts as well. I wouldn't trust just any old google search. Even though I don't personally know the people on this forum....they are definitely on here for the same reason you and I are.

You should get to know us :D were not that tough of a crowd :p. But I agree wholeheartedly with not just googling everything of a spiritual nature cuz It can feel like WebMD at some times.

*insert ONE trait here* CONGRATULATIONS YOURE AN INFJ! YOURE THE RAREST PERSONALITY TYPE!!!!!
