I'm new here, obviously, and I have decided that I am not imaging this. I don't see spirits, but I do have a strong sense of feeling around me and connection with people I care about. Historically, examples include how I won't hear from my mother or sister for weeks or months, and then I'll think about them and how I haven't talked to them in a while, and boom, they call out of the blue. Ok, that is easy stuff. I don't know if this psychic, as much as very sensitive to emotiveness or more a spiritual-like connection.
In any case, the examples have grown more profound in the past year or so, and while I don't want to go into all of them, I have had confirmation of a few cases where I felt something strongly and then learned that the person it was related to also had the same feeling. Recently some cases are where I suddenly worry heavily about my husband and his feelings, and I get very anxious about it, and then learn later that day that he was having a really hard time. Another case was last week, going to a restaurant and "knowing" that I would see someone I know there, and staying calm and listening to ....I dunno, the Universe?... and realizing there was no need to panic (there is someone I do NOT want to run into, who I could have run into there), and sure enough when we arrived my son's friend was there and it was their family's first time at this place. I breathed a sigh of relief, but recognized that I was correct in feeling that I would run into someone I know there. (and this is a regular restaurant spot for me, but not one where I ever ran into someone I know before).
So, things like that. I am learning to listen to these feelings more to help my relationships better, but I am here because I have decided I want to try to understand this better. I am not imaging it, and I think that there probably is a scientific explanation for this somewhere but we are forever away from knowing what that is - in other words, I think this is a natural ability, and surely others must experience it and I want to explore that to understand this better. In short, I don't believe in coincidence - odds and probability suggest that the frequency in which I experience "coincidence" is not just chance! ;)
So, any guidance on where to start learning more about this experience, or just start by talking with similar experiences?
I don't think this is just intuition, though that is a part of it. I admit the examples above do read more like intuition, but I have other experiences where more "communication" and "knowing" seems to happen.
Like, decades ago, I was leaving on a 3 week trip and while I never ever gave my grandpa kisses or hugs, I did on this visit right before I left. He had just been diagnosed with an illness, but still seemed really healthy. He ended up dying while I was gone, it turned out to be very advanced lung cancer, but there was no indication that he was that sick before I left and I was only gone for 3 weeks. The same happened with my other grandpa. I never ever gave him kisses, and the last time I saw him I kissed him on the head (he had dementia by that point), and he died shortly after. Yes, he was sick and old, but there was no reason to think that that would be the last time I saw him alive. Another case, after my grandmother died, I swear to God that I woke in the middle of night with her sitting on me (this is actually a known phenomenon, so maybe not so intuitive).
Other more direct cases, and what brought me to seek out further ideas and guidance, are more communicative. Like "psychic" with another person. Without going into details, I have been able to communicate somehow, with another person, without direct control of it. In the cases I mentioned above it is more like I, with the emphasis on Me alone, sensed something. But, in these other cases, it was me and the other person - I/we realize this after the fact, because neither of us are actually talking to each other anymore. In some of the cases I could cough it up to my intuition, sure, but in at least one of the instances there was confirmation that neither of us knew what each other was doing at a very atypical, nonstandard place to go. I wonder if this is some type of subconscious communication, fellow "empaths" (though I am actually a very analytical person!) ability to communicate subconsciously, or perhaps if this is a cross to spiritual connection and more in line with "psychic", or if something "outside" of us is communicating with the both of us.
There are other examples with this person from more than just the past year, when we were still friends and in communication, but many times it felt like there was an experience and connection to something beyond ourselves that was "speaking" to us or that we were affecting. Like something spiritual. And in one case, on a day before something very bad and terrible happened, I had a deep feeling of heaviness and darkness all around me (but not IN me), and that seemed more than intuition. It felt like I walked into a dark force field or that "evilness" was following me. And then the next day, deep deep darkness and pain followed, in a way that COULD NOT have been predicted, from which I am still healing, but thankfully I think I am on the other side of completely, and hope to remain there!
I know I am being a bit oblique, and I could go into more specifics, but I would prefer to do that in a less public setting, if you are both interested. I saw that this is a small group, and I am glad that you all are active. This is weird for me (did I mention I'm a very analytical person?? not the most empathetic, or not even a big care giver here! I'm no nurse, but I do love babies, and numbers. I love crunching numbers and telling stories from data) but it is also not a foreign concept, as I have been aware of the "sixth sense" aspect of this for most of my life, but this deeper connection and awareness is newer and stronger in the past few years.
Thanks for listening.
Actually, I was wrong!! I rechecked ACTUAL stuff today (yesterday I was going by other clues and deduction), and I was INTP last year, for whatever that is worth. In any case, I still tend to run pretty close to the middle of the line for all of these factors anyway, so I am pretty mutable depending on context.
