Things I Experienced when Starting to Develop my Psychic Abilities: Sleep Paralysis, Dark Spirits, Nightmares, and Sleeping on the Job

Hello Beautiful People,

I decided to write about what I experienced when I started to develop my psychic abilities. A lot happened but I am picking just a handful of items to address at this time and will be broken up into three entries. This is the third entry for this series. If you missed the other two here are the links to them:

Psychic Vampires, energy drainers, and needy people, oh my!
Anxiety around crowds, psychic poisoning, and being a bitch.

*Disclaimer*
This is information that I have found to help me on my spiritual path. I do not claim any of this information to be my own techniques or lessons. I have given you a reference of books in order for you to read and make a decision for yourself. I am not claiming that this applies to every person or situation. Please read with an open heart and willing to find an answer on your own through the power of your own experience. 

Sleep paralysis, dark spirits, nightmares, and sleeping on the job.
​

There will come a time when you will wake up after a good night sleep and feel as if you ran a marathon. I could not figure out why this was happening when I first started on my journey. I would wake up groggy and feeling out of sync. Well, I found out from a podcast called “The Psychic Teachers”, after many years of wondering, that there are some Lightworkers who go out while they sleep and aid other people spiritually. The advice they gave was to simply ask your spirit guides/angel/spirits to maybe back off a little and only do it every so often. I tried it and guess what? It worked! So my advice comes from the message of someone else named Samantha Fey.

Understand that not every person is a Nightworker. A lot of the times people have restless nights due to spirits trying to speak to us and give us messages. This leads me into sleep paralysis. So many times I would feel as if something, or someone, was holding me down. I worked through this by stating, to the entity, that I am stronger than they are, or casting the spirit out of my house, and protecting the hell out of my room. I have come to find out by my spiritual teacher that this is simply a spirit trying to talk to you, and since we are not aware at the time of sleep, we can have the experience of sleep paralysis.
Eventually when I started to work with the spirits, and really build a relationship with them, the experiences got to be less and less. The big thing to remember is to work through it. Do not be afraid to talk to the spirits and say “Hey! Leave me alone” or “Can you talk to me when I am awake”. Do not be afraid to set boundaries with the spirit world or to set boundaries on your psychic abilities. You are barely starting out, and with every new skill, you have to practice in a safe environment.

When it comes to nightmares, I had to learn to process the information being given. I had to really meditate on what the symbols and signs meant within the dream. A nightmare is simply a bad dream, or rather, a dream that is showing us what we choose to not face in our everyday life and in sleep.

My advice is simple:
analyze what is being presented to you and make sure you are constantly working on your spiritual practice.

Whew.
I am nearly done with this entry. One last item to address.
Dark spirits.
Are they really dark?
Well there can be some nasties that hang around when new found power is being used or growing. They like to see what all the hub bub is and why there is so much light where there was none before. When I started to read “The Inner Temple of Witchcraft” by Christopher Penczak, he explained why there are dark energies that linger around a new witch.

He basically states that with new found power the light becomes brighter, in time the little nasties fade away, leaving the new witch alone as she develops her gift. I am stating the same thing to you. When you first start out on your psychic ability journey, you will find that there may be spirits that linger around or try to offset you by playing tricks and such. Remember to ask them to leave you alone nicely and if that doesn’t work then you have every right to say “Get the fuck out of my house!”
I would definitely set up wards around your house (which Christopher Penczak teaches in his book) and smudge the shit out of it.
There is nothing in the rule book that states you have to put up with mischievous spirits. Also call in your spirit guides to protect you and watch over you.
 
I have been there. I was afraid at one time and almost gave up on my spiritual journey because of weird things that were happening. Without a teacher or another person to say “Hey that has happened to me too and this is how I dealt with it”, our journey can be dark and scary. It will send you into defense mode and you may want to just give it up.
Do not give up on your gifts!
​Keep going and know that you have every right to set boundaries with the spirit world.
 
Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

Things I Experienced when Starting to Develop my Psychic Abilities:  Anxiety Around Crowds, Psychic Poisoning, and Being a Bitch

Things I Experienced when Starting to Develop my Psychic Abilities: Anxiety Around Crowds, Psychic Poisoning, and Being a Bitch

Hello Beautiful People.
I decided to write about what I experienced when I started to develop my psychic abilities. A lot happened but I am picking just a handful of items to address at this time and will be broken up into three entries. Want to read the first one? Click here.
Here is the second entry in this three part series. Enjoy.

*Disclaimer*
This is information that I have found to help me on my spiritual path. I do not claim any of this information to be my own techniques or lessons. I have given you a reference of books in order for you to read and make a decision for yourself. I am not claiming that this applies to every person or situation. Please read with an open heart and willing to find an answer on your own through the power of your own experience. 

Anxiety around crowds, psychic poisoning, and being a bitch.

​Yes, even spiritual teachers and beings can be a “Bitch” sometimes. It happens to the best of us. We get into our funky moods and rather than process the energy, and lesson around us, we take it out on others. Do not worry. This happens less and less as you start to process your own crap and understand that it happens when we allow other people’s problems to become our problem.

Anxiety was my real first issue when I started out on my spiritual journey. I did not like crowds. I did not know how to process the information that was being psychically sent to me through the power of other people. I did not know how to turn myself “off”. I really had to research techniques that would aid me with this problem.
  • Clear your Chakras
  • Ground and center your self
  • Meditate
  • Work on your own crap
  • Mentally protect myself with a bubble of white light
Most of the techniques were found in Mya Om’s book “Energy Essentials for Witches and Spellcasters” and Doreen Virtues book “The Angel Therapy Handbook”.
Most of the time feeling anxiety in crowds is due to being over charged. You are taking in all this information and energy from other people and your body and spirit does not know how to release it in a positive way. A lot of times I simply had to give that energy back into the Earth. This is very helpful after reading for multiple people at a Psychic Fair or party.
Which leads me into the topic of psychic poisoning.

Yes this happens. You can take on so much energy that it makes you sick. So sick that you will develop flu like symptoms. When you devote all your time and energy in reading cards, using your psychic abilities, or doing magic, it can lead you to over exhausting or over charging yourself. How did I tackle this? Of course every good spiritual person wants to help as many people as they can but there is a limit. I had to find my limit of people I could read in a day and in a week. I could not go over that limit without suffering some crap consequences.

Now I am not saying that you will never be able to pass the limit that was set in the beginning. I am simply saying that it is best to find that magic number and stick to it for a while. Build up your spiritual chops. Try to listen to your body and spirit and see if you should go on. Most of the time your spirit guides will advise you that it is time to take on more clients or to back down.
​
Number one rule in all of this spiritual growth stuff is:
Take care of your wonderful self!

By doing this you will be able to receive information from the spirit/energy world and give clearer and precise answers to the questions being asked. If you are fully charged and up and running at excellent speed then the connection to the energy around you will be clear as well.

Until next time. 
Blessed Be, 
Aaron

Things I Experienced when Starting to Develop my Psychic Abilities

Hello Beautiful People.
I decided to write about what I experienced when I started to develop my psychic abilities. A lot happened but I am picking just a handful of items to address at this time and will be broken up into three entries. 

*Disclaimer*
This is information that I have found to help me on my spiritual path. I do not claim any of this information to be my own techniques or lessons. I have given you a reference of books in order for you to read and make a decision for yourself. I am not claiming that this applies to every person or situation. Please read with an open heart and willing to find an answer on your own through the power of your own experience.
 
Psychic Vampires, energy drainers, and needy people, oh my!

Geez. Where to start with this one.
Have you ever had a meeting with someone and after the talk you felt drained and tired?
Did they take more from the conversation than just sound advice?
Do you ever avoid a certain person because you do not want to spend hours talking about how awful their life is?
Did you answer yes to any of the questions?
 
This leads me to the next question.
Are there psychic vampires?

Well, there is a certain breed of people that have the ability to suck energy from their surroundings. I have found that a majority of them are people who do not know that they are light workers and try to subdue their psychic abilities with other means (drugs, sex, food, and such). Could you call them addicts? Maybe. They are just people with a different set of psychic skills. Rather than give energy to others to heal and protect, they pull from the energy around them to give them a sense of protection and natural high. You will usually find this from people who are needy in nature, wanting attention (bad or good), who have developed a certain behavior that gets them what they want, which is to be noticed.

How did I handle this sort of person?
I usually had to protect myself from them (keeping a distance, advising them on how to dim that part of their ability, or setting up sacred space before interacting with them) and also take care of myself afterwards by shaking off the excess energy or grounding and centering.

Can they be needy?
Yup.
They will suck the life right out of you if you let them. The real lesson to remember here is compassion. Compassion for the path they are choosing to walk. They are not ready or willing to spiritually grow but are willing to use their abilities to their advantage.

I had to really turn to my healing abilities of Reiki and Chakra healing.
I had to close myself off from their energy sucking ability or reflect so much energy to them that they would spiritually exhaust their self out. Most of the time they would not want to be around me because I would eventually be too much energy for them or not enough. They will go where the power is. It is in their nature.

I am not stating that they are bad or anything. They simply are not ready to move forward with their wonderful spiritual gifts and in turn you are not ready to supply them with the energy needed to transform and propel them in the right direction. Well, at least not yet. 

Until next time. 
Blessed Be, 
Aaron

P.S. Here is where I learned the "Grounding and Centering" technique by Mya Om
