My Otherworldly Abilities

 





It was a scary moment when I realized that I could trust someone enough to expose parts of myself that others had judged me for. That I could share things that had made others uncomfortable, and this person would actually support and encourage me in these areas.

For some time, I’ve had some otherworldly abilities that I can’t always explain and for a myriad of reasons I started to hide. They were just one more way to feel weird and unlovable. But I’ve found someone who believes I have these abilities and can do these things and that makes all the difference. We may not come to the same conclusions as to why or how, and honestly the truth is usually a hodge podge of beliefs, but he trusts I am having these experiences.

There are a couple ways these abilities have shown up in my life. I can sense and “communicate” with people who were once alive, like my sister, and sometimes it’s like I can tap into an energy that can’t be seen. This is particularly useful when I want to tap into a greater source of creativity.

I spend so much time feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed by these abilities but really, they are gifts. I want to celebrate them as a useful skill and not something shameful that needs to be kept hidden.

  1. This is definitely a gift. Please be open to it always. I have been able to "see dead people", but rarely can we communicate beyond a whisper, or feelings shown through eyes. When I was young, I could see and hear, very clearly, my guardian angel, until others convinced me that it was only my imagination, and I pushed her away. If only I could reconnect with Manka again.
