Go to one of those Metaphysical shops I mentioned earlier. Have a look about the place paying careful attention to objects and books. What comforts you? What do you find distasteful? What seems attractive? There is a wealth to seek out at such places and the books, cards, and other materials are 'friendly' to a number of practices. For example, a deeply Christian person might be attracted to terms and titles regarding angels rather than Spirit guides and that sort of thing. A woman embarking on something more feminine than traditional patriarchal thinking might find the use of the term goddess more comforting and appealing. And likewise there would be people like wiccans totally comfortable with pentacles, spirits, witches, etc. There are a great deal of similarities amongst all this but many modes of terminology and practise. I started to read cards using a standard 52 card playing deck. I find a softer labeling approach more comfortable for myself. I tend to be drawn to the more simple earth friendly approach to spirituality - including both Shamanism and the occasional women's spirituality book or item.

After discovering what you are comfortable with, what is palatable and in line with the spiritual and religious practices you already have then immerse yourself and learn. Eventually you will come around to the gifts of Creativity, Teaching, and/or the psychic you have to share. You might want to explore just how you wish to share these things. Cards? Palms? Tea leaves? Intuition, etc. There are so many ways you can have to explore and use your psychic nature.

Again, I think you are fortunate. Used wisely this can be an incredibly enriching gift to have. Enjoy your adventure of discovery.

By the way, I am guessing you are an incredibly empathetic person. The two 'gifts' often occur hand in hand.

Thanks!

Yes, I have tried, though I am not good at all at envisioning the white light surrounding me. I can only imagine it happening, vs seeing it in my mind's eye if that makes sense?

We do have sage and burn it periodically to "smudge".

I've read recently though that neither of these fully work (only temporarily) and that you have to actually raise your energetic field (aura) to a higher vibration.

I read that the only way to truly protect oneself and communicate with the other side clearly is when you have a higher vibration. I also read that some mediums can have very porous auras, like those who are empathic, like me.

Thanks so much for all your suggestions!

I have done that kind of exploration.. I definitely know what appeals and what I am most attracted to, which is in fact, a variety!

I am attracted to energy healing crystals and respond physically to them. I am attracted to Angelic type of emblems or symbols and objects as well as Christian and Shaman (I am of a mixed philosophy of my own making). And I am attracted to very earthy types of things too as well as Goddess objects and symbols.... so all of the above! HA. That makes me very eclectic!

And yes, I am an empath as well.

Yes, it is very enriching and quite mysterious as well. I cannot see symbols or pictures like some with clairvoyant ability. I guess I am clairsentient. I can hear the metaphysical and also feel them physically.

I did sign up for a newsletter and e-course that teaches about tuning into the higher realms so you can hear them clearly. Interestingly, one newsletter talks about how you can hear more clearly after a drink of alcohol, which I have found to be true! I sometimes get clear messages after I've had a few. The woman says it gets you into an "Alpha" brain wave state that enables you to hear the paranormal more clearly. I've had one such eye-opening experience after drinking one night, which I will not detail here, but this experience confirmed for me my own questions about the existence of a higher power.

Some people say there is a higher power, but it is not outside us, but buried in our subconscious waiting for the moment to be discovered.

That brings me that much closer to it in my opinion.

Thanks, although I don't want to talk about it publicly online. It's not something I wish to share a lot of details about.

I was just trying to see if anyone here was also a medium.

Are you a spiritual medium? Can you talk to and hear Angels and spirits?

I don’t wish to talk about it in detail unless you’re a medium yourself. I asked if you were and you did not answer.

Maybe you can look for a reputable one in your area and get a pyschic reading done. Or a shamanic session. Or an angel reading. I think all or any of these can be helpful. Go in with a specific intention or questions.

Thanks, though what I really need is another medium. I have done that already..... I have done all three. Every time I connect with one, they tell me I, too, am "psychic". I need a medium who practices to help me. I must seek them out in my area.

Wow, well it sounds as if you are on top of it. Have you tried using Meetup (the app and/or the website)? I know that I can use that to find folks along that kind of practice within a certain radius of me. It could help you narrow down to ones you may want to work with, if you integrate into a community and feel out people.

It's a great suggestion, but I am wary of amateur mediums on Meetups.com. I went to an energy workers group once, they worked on me, I came home and the very next day out of the blue I had severe depression. The woman who worked on me had been severely depressed, and therefore, transferred her energy to me. So I want to be careful where I go and with whom I work.

I will probably have to seek out a medium who does workshops. Someone on here did point me to someone... I have to dig it up.

Sorry to hear about the negative experience. I hope the lead you got helps direct you to someone equipped to help you on your journey!
