I don't know all the in's and out's of it - I have just accepted these "feelings" that I get as a part of me and keep an open mind about it. I do believe in the metaphysical and the entire universe resonates with energy and vibrations because I occasionally pick up on very random things that make no sense to me personally. From what you are saying, your feelings are very much stronger than mine and while I try to "open" myself to the feeling, I seem to only be able to take it so far. When I did a fast Google to reply to your post, the first link that I found for the intuitive washttp://
www.lyndahilburn.com/articles_psy.htm and while I only skimmed the article, it seemed a pretty good, concise explaination. To answer one of your questions, ".... Intuitive/psychic abilities are present in everyone. As with anything else -- intelligence, singing ability, athletic skills, etc. -- each person comes in with a certain amount of whatever it is, showing up somewhere along a continuum of possibility. And, each of those things can be increased through attention and practice. It's the same with intuitive/psychic abilities." The link above is good - let me know what you think.
I am very aware of subtleties in my energetic/physical environment.
Usually I can walk into a room where it is silent and I can tell if someones mad and who they are mad at
I can feel/sense other peoples' moods/energy.
I can walk into a room and "feel" the mood in there. It can be heavy, light, fuzzy, etc
I'm very sensitive to physical sensations/pain.
Who likes a boo boo?
I need a lot of alone time.
I like to have spirts of "hang out time" where Ill go see my friends weekends after weekends but after a while of that I will need to rest and stay at home for months on end.
Caffeine, alcohol, etc., really affect me.
They can and the can not
I'm bothered by strong smells/aromas.
Yes! They can make me sick...
(but Im not the type to tell the lady with stinky purfume to please step away)
Loud noises upset me.
I love loud music but if something SPLATS in my house Im usually up out of my seat and raising cane for it to not happen again
Music is a spiritual experience.
Some of the best times I have is alone in my room listening to really deep music or up dancing
I startle easily.
I try to be tough and expect things to happen but if you come around a corner unexpectidly Im usually shake like a rabbit in a trap
I get overwhelmed by bright lights.
I have found strobe lights make me sicker than a dog. I was at a 'Rush' concert once and felt like I was floating in my seat and I couldnt walk.
When one song ended I got up and walked away.
Crowds and groups are too much for me.
Eh.. I love people watching (from a distance)
I have allergies and skin sensitivities.
Allergies have never really bothered me except in the last few years. My face is broken out worse than EVER right now though
I avoid anything violent.
When a fight broke out at school Id go the other way. Even hearing the punches would make me sick to my stomach. Usually I dont even watch movies with violence.
I have a deep, rich imagination and inner world.
I have been told I march to the beat of my own drum. If it wouldnt get me very many looks I might dance down the street with headphones on
Most of the time if Im sitting alone somewhere Ill look around and make up a story about something. In school I use to daydream all the time.
Id stare at the white board and wonder "I wonder who screwed that screw in, what did he look like? What kind of family does he have? Is he still screwing in white boards? What lead him to this job? What was he like as a boy?"
Crazy...? I know.
No Sarah, I do not think you are crazy. I, personally, have a very open mind and do not discount anything in this life - explained or unexplained. Just because I can't explain or understand some things doesn't mean that I don't believe in the possiblity. In my own opinion, I feel that we are born being very intuitive and very, for lack of a better word, "open" to things. Think of children who have "make believe" childhood friends. I think that as we get older, family/school/friends/society desensitizes us to these intuitive feelings and openness because it isn't the "norm" and as such, may not be acceptable. Most children, in order to fit in and "belong" seem to gradually lose that innocence, imagination and openness until it is so far supressed that it only seemed like a childhood fantasy when they look back on it. Most people are also used to an orderly world where everything fits into a nice, neat little package - thus the unexplained or unexplainable is thrown out the window as rubbish. Again, I do not think you are crazy and for as much as I know you from this forum, I happen to like you just the way you are!
