I'm new here, but not new to paranormal experiences..

I once foolishly shared with a friend that I have been able to detect things about people's health, and she accused me of invading their privacy. I most certainly wouldn't have invaded on purpose; these things just come to me.

I know what you mean GS, there was one night that I went to a restaurant alone - one that me and my two then roommates frequented. There was what I suspect was a family of four sitting at a table across the wide isle from me - a mom and dad, young son, and grandmother. They were too far away from me to actually hear their conversations and I was reading some technical journal as I ate so I wasn’t too aware of my surroundings.

Then as the family was leaving, the grandmother apparently turned back and walked over to my table. She stopped next to me and placed her hand on my forearm. I immediately got a feeling of fear and insecurity but it was very strangely wrapped in a sensation of wholeness. I looked up into her eyes which were very clear - not aged nor tired looking. And I blurted out, “You’re going to be okay you know...”. She nodded and replied, “Yes, I know.” Then she removed her hand from my arm, turned, and walked towards her family.

I was so glad my roommates weren’t with me because they would have pressured me relentlessly for an explanation.

That was a beautiful moment, WandS! Wonder why she came to you? Maybe she felt that you understood?

It took me a long time to stop myself from reading people's auras when I met them. I used to just not control it, and saw all the colors all the time but it really is a violation of privacy to read without permission. Now, I have to work at it, take the time to center and focus before reading.

I actually had a funny experience once, long ago, when a guy I was dating came in with a mutual male friend of ours, and said, "I kinda need to talk to you." I just started laughing and said, "You need to break up with me because you're in love with each other." They were like, "How'd you know that?" Because their auras when they walked in were not only glowing red hot red, but were intertwined. Like, crazy mad hot in love with each other. I couldn't have NOT seen it if I'd been blindfolded, behind a lead wall with a two inch thick layer of tourmaline between us. They both knew about my ability, and kind of were embarrassed that they'd let it go so far that I could tell what was going on before they admitted it to themselves.
But I try to not to use it without permission, unless of course it's one of my pets or my houseplants... or someone else' s houseplant. Or my partner... sometimes it helps to know what he's feeling before he starts talking.

Two great questions. If I had appeared attentive to the family - like smiling at them for example - I might not be as surprised by her approach. But I’m pretty certain I was mostly selfishly focusing on my reading and my meal.

A real head scratching event.

There has really been some great discussion on this thread. Thanks everyone for letting others in on these experiences. I’ve gotten to know you all better and learned somethings too.

Thanks for the supportive words Lynne. You probably know well by now, from my writing style, that I struggle to help others/readers to understand my own perception (when I have one) on these zany occurrences.

I don't believe you should interact with them in any other fashion.

I hear you on that, I usually try to avoid it, but this one has been incredibly helpful. She's nurturing in nature, calmed a lot of moments for me, and I've learned to rely on her quite a bit. Are the panther shaped ones usually to be distrusted?

I was later on amazed that I got angry instead of scared, but it hasn't been back. Anger or laughter usually works.

Yeah, that sounds REALLY empowering, I'd love to feel anger instead of fear, be in control in a stronger way. Sounds easier to find than laughter at least.

I think there's nothing that you can't handle yourself, with the backing of a higher power, be that God, Allah, Shakti, Angels, White LIght, Love, etc. If it is somehow the jackals curse and you believe that it is, Isis, (the Egyptian goddess- not the terrorist group) might be the power to call on... that would depend on your faith what you believe.

Well, since I've seen a lot of weird stuff, I find that I'm open to all religions. Since I can't explain what I'm seeing, I prefer to just think everyone kinda has it right. She told me that it wasn't something I did, but something I did apparently in a previous life, and that I'm supposed to do something in this life to atone for that. I don't think I believe it, but considering all the weird stuff that happens around me, I also can't disbelieve her either. Kinda a catch 22. What do you believe and what don't you believe when reality itself seems to like flaking out on you and breaking all the rules about what is supposed to happen.

If I may ask, did you ever play with the occult?

Play with the occult? What do you and what does that mean?

Chloe, the one major piece of advice I'm gonna give you tonight is to take EVERYTHING that psychic said and throw it out the nearest window.

I'm not sure of their meaning or purpose,I had these when really young and had thought they were my imagination.When I was about 25 I went with a girl who had experienced them also as a child,exactly as I had.We both saw them when our parents seperated.

Hi Chloe-

You mentioned "your studies" in an earlier post. Would you mind telling us what you are studying and at what level?
