Accepting psychic abilities

QUESTION: Masters, I have in recent years become more aware and accepting of my clairsentient awareness though I have not fully been able to understand how to correctly protect myself from other people’s energy. I tried to shut myself off from my awareness several years back when I had what I think was my first clairvoyant vision of possibly a past life experience of my friend when I was touching his back. The image was so vivid and because of my empathic nature I could also feel the pain associated with it and it scared me. I think I am ready to re explore this side of myself because I feel the repression of it might be what has been causing my stomach issues in recent years. Where do I start? ~Maree, USA

ANSWER: You are extremely sensitive both to energies picked up through touch and to wavelengths that are around you. Just as you “turned off” your abilities for a period of time, you may, with practice, turn on and off your receptors. You will be able to choose when to feel things through your hands and emotions. This ability will not come all at once; you will have to practice to tune your sensitivity.

Any time you unequivocally stop the flow of energy into or by your body, you create barricades that stop up the flow of your physical nerves and bodily functions, which will present as ill health. When you sense stomach issues or digestive problems, concentrate on having energy flow through your body, pushing any blockages out of the way.

When you reach out to another, it is important that you have asked your guides to protect you from the effects of the other’s negativity. Lessons are presented in negative energy so they may be recognized and dealt with. The scene you picked up from your friend was a lesson he faced but did not deal with in another lifetime. If he went back and examined it, he would be able to remove its hurtful negativity and never have to feel it again. This is a way for you to help people clear their blockages if you so choose.

The feelings you pick up from around others can be analyzed to see if they have negative attachments, which the two of you will be able to remove by over-powering them with positive unconditional love. These are abilities you have used in other lives and wanted to have available again in case you decided to help others in this life. The choice is up to you.
