I’d creep into my brother’s bed but that was no good because of the toy machine gun he slept with to fend off the werewolves.

Looking back now, I see I was sensitive to spirit.

It wasn’t the dark that was scary, it was the feeling of a presence, that was Spirit. Not anything spooky, just something I didn’t understand as a child.

You might be sensitive too. You’ve had some kinds of contact with spirit that’s left you with questions and perhaps a healthy dose of caution. Perhaps you’ve picked up some fear-based ideas from another belief system.

But, first of all, YAY for being sensitive!

You sense we all swim in the same energy soup, and you might already be aware of your psychic senses, our higher senses. These are the “clairs”. Clairvoyance (seeing), clairsentience (feeling),clairaudience (hear them) and clairsentience (feeling).

What to do next

Chances are your friends might also be curious. Gather some like minded ones to start a meditation circle. There is strength in numbers.  It’s all about expanding your awareness while staying very much in the present moment.

Some think being psychic means going off to some magical place, but the truth is that to do our best work, we learn to be very mindful and present. That’s why a meditation group is wonderful.

Even better, find a Spiritualist Centre that offers evidential psychic development. That’s where I trained originally and if you find a good one, they are will have a down to earth, no new age fluff approach.

Anyone offering a crystals, potion or mysterious activations to expand your ability may as well be selling you magic beans.

The power is always, always inside you, never outside. Your light shines bright, which is one of the reasons spirit is drawn to you in the first place. I can’t emphasise enough to get properly trained.

Knowledge is power, you will see that spirit is a beautiful place and know that your own light shines in tandem with spirit.

I used to be TERRIFIED until someone taught me too.

Helping budding sensitives understand their psychic sensitivity is motivated partly because I had no one to teach me, and I want to make sure no one else has to struggle alone.

After over 40 years figuring it out the hard way, I offer straight talking, user friendly guidance to anyone curious or overwhelmed by their psychic energy. No, you aren’t going crazy. I’m here to help.
