Claircognizance, Clairsentience, Clairaudience, Clairvoyance Needs To Be Grounded ~ Don’t Forget The Grounding

For those of us with the gifts we recognize as claircognizance, clairsentience,
clairaudience and clairvoyance, we can become as if unhinged from ourselves, as if riding a bucking bronco has taken over us, while at other times, it is as if we have turned into a stone statue, immobilized by the bombardment of our extra-seneory perceptions. Those of us who have been inundated by such emotions can relate to the empty seashell sensations of the senses. These feelings are not something to be controlled, or forced by the will to obey. That just won’t happen.

What’s a person to do, who is suffering from sensory overload?

Trying to act as if you are fine, when you clearly are not, is quite a quandry if you do not remember to GROUND YOUR ENERGY.

While we know about GROUNDING, (we’ve known this since birth while playing in the sandbox and at the seashore), we forget about this in the midst of the very real crisis. The more you concentrate on how you are feeling, the worse it will get. (You know this from birth too). What you focus on GROWS. (You also know this). The runaway horse you are riding will keep taking you for a ride until you remeber who is in charge. The horse is not in charge of you. YOU are in charge of you. You are not only in charge of you, you are in charge of that runaway flighty horse as well.

The same principle applies with the stone statue analogy. You are in charge of your being, not the figurative glue holding the stones together. When you are ready, imagine your higher self giving you permission to simply melt the glue, allowing the stones to neatly form a beautiful wishing well, or waterfall.

If you say you can’t do anything, you are absolutely correct. Henry Ford, creative founder of the Ford Motor Company, put this in a nutshell, “If you think you can or can’t do a thing, you are absolutly correct.”

The mind is so powerful that it takes what you say to be the gospel truth, and makes what you say a reality.

Know too, that there is a way out of being immobilized, and a way off that runaway horse that hijacked you.

The key to regaining your sense of self, of returning back into your own skin, is GROUNDING. Here are some things that can help you, whether the COVID-19 pandemic has emotionally shut you down from being cloistered in your home, or whether your overlaod comes from your psychic gifts.

GROUNDING TECHNIQUES:

Drink Coffee
Eat Red Meat
Walk barefoot on the earth, in the forest, the beach, or soft green grass
Make affirmation statements like: I AM Love, or I AM Whole
Run cool or wram (not cold or hot) water over your hands, face or feet
Take a bath or shower
Hold Amethyst, since it transmutes lower energies to higher. Amethyst clears the aura and stabliizes and transmutes any dysfunctional energy located within your body
Listen to your favorite music (as long as it is positive), and dance if possible
Hug someone or a tree
Do breathing exercises slowly in and out, deep breaths of 15 breaths (which also lowers your blood pressure)
Rub your palms together
Clench and unclench fists
Stamp feet
Mindfully walk, preferably outside
Write a list of things that make you happy
Dig in the garden
Water the garden
Read or listen to a meditation
Lit a candle

Reading this list might trigger some other grounding things you like to do.

Clairsentience is clearly feeling to a heightened degree both what you and others are feeling. When I had four offices of The Massage Clinic in Connecticut, I would notice that when I got feelings that were not mine. I would ask the client about the situation. Sure enough, I was able to help them come into a healthy sense of balance. Clairalience is the sense of clear smelling, and is connected to clairsentience. You are an empath, but you are not a victim of your gift. You can work with your angels, God, spirit guides and/or animals guides in working with you to adjust this energy gift. You also need to come to terms with why you think you were given this gift ( it is not a punishment) and how best to use this gift, for yourself, for humanity and for the world. How have you used this gift thus far in the betterment of humankind? Since clairsentience is a feeling gift, the above GROUNDING exercises are appropriate. Tell you mind to stop distracting thoughts during the GROUNDING exercises. Consciously focus your mind on the task at hand. GROUNDING usually breaks the overload. Pay close attention to how the green grass feels and looks under your feet, for example. Notice its exact color, texture, smell, etc.

Claircognizance is the gift of knowing. This is the gift I am strongest in. This is when you get energetic “hits,” when to leave a person, place or thing, or you find you know subjects that you have never studied, or you suddenly know something that will help you out of the blue, or informs you of some sense of danger.

While you may be stronger in one of these clair-gifts, once you start to hone in on one, the others can get stronger in you as well. If you have stopped in your life path for some reason or another, no worries, you can simply pick up where you left off. The gifts can diminish of you do not use them, but they also get stronger when you use them. I find it not as easy for me to feel overloaded with claircognizance as with clairsentience.

Clairaudience is the gift of hearing either physically or in the mind. I often get this directly upon waking in the morning, especially if I have gone to sleep with a question on my mind. That’s when I wake up with a short, clear message to do something. It’s not like I pondered over the thought in the morning. It is a directive. I always follow that one. Usually this is not a gift that overloads. It’s not like the directives are constant or overloading.

Clairvoyance is the power or faculty to discern objects not present to our senses. This one is cool. I can simply ask in my mind where “it” is, then I feel directed to go directly to it, even if it is not in plain sight. I have an uncanny knack for knowing where a lost object is, even if I never saw it before, or never put it “there.” Again, this is not usually one people feel overloaded with. I always say, go with the guidance.

I have also put out into the ethers the things that I need, with no direction on how to get it, like the day John and I were driving down the road and I said, “Hey God, I need a bail of hay for my strawberries.” This was a few years ago. No sooner had I said this out loud in the car, then we came upon a bail of hay, sitting by the side of the road where it did not belong, which obviously fell off someone’s truck. No one was around. That was a quick answer.

Remember, you control your thoughts. Your thoughts do not control you.

You have free will.

You are not the victim of your gifts.

If you do not like how you are feeling, CHANGE HOW YOU ARE THINKING.

Thoughts are powerful, but you control them.

The key is balance.

The Art Of Listening ~ Not Listening Is A Manipulation Tactic

Listening is an art form.

Do you hear what I hear?

Really listening to another person for an extended period of time can be rare, like finding a treasure. We all want to be heard. We all want to be listened to. We all have something to say. We all have something we want to share. We all want to talk, talk, talk.

How many times do we find ourselves truly listening to someone, then they say something that triggers a response thought from us. We bide our time until we can say our part, but at that point, we have stopped listening. We find ourselves “treading water” until the conversation stops so we can jump in with our two cents.

We are listening with an answer running. This is not listening.

Some of us are better listeners than others. Maybe we are attention deficit, or hyperactive, or both, no matter what our age is. Sometimes others gently or not so gently, let us know of this bad habit.

But like any habit, good or bad, habits can be changed. We simply need to become aware of what we are doing. Once someone lets us know we are not listening, that can become the moment we remind ourselves to become the observer of ourselves. Watch what we do the next time in conversation, so that we can do a better job of listening.

Two things happen when we earnestly listen. First, the person we are listening to feels heard, acknowledged and appreciated. Second, we get a better understanding of what the other person is trying to share with us.

This all seems like common sense. However, if the conversation gets heated, or we have a completely different opinion other than the one that is being expressed, then all bets are off with our listening skills.

How are we with political, religious, or relationship discussions? We know what our hot spots are. Still, if communication is what we are after, both listening and speaking with others, then we need to practice listening better without interrupting. Take notes of things that come to mind if it is a long discussion so that you do not forget, as opposed to interrupting so you do not forget. Then when the other person is done, you have your chance. Of course this works better when both people agree to practice better listening skills.

It is always better to work things out in person whenever possible. On the telephone, others cannot see our expressions. The written word can come across very harsh without hearing the inflection of voice and the look in someone’s eyes.

Life is too short to not communicate with others. Keep trying. Never give up. As we grow and change, so do others. If relationships have fallen by the wayside, we can renew them simply by the art of listening. How many relationships have come to an end because one of the two has decided that because of the situation 20 years ago, that the person they are shunning is still the same, and always will be. A line is drawn in the sand never to be crossed. This happens with mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and friends who have given up on each other. No matter how many years go by, never give up on each other. The winds of time blow away those lines drawn in the sand, giving all involved a clean slate with which to work.

The art of listening is truly a gift and a joy. There is more to each other, all people, whether we love them or not, than we first realize. Relationships are living, breathing realities that stay alive with each heartbeat of the people involved. Everyone in the relationship is diminished when communication and the art of listening stops.

There are times when fear, obligation, and guilt (FOG) by others is the manipulation tactic used to strong arm an individual into breaking off communication and truly listening in a relationship. Most often this is a triangulation technique used by a third-party to separate mothers and daughters, co-workers at work, or any other scenario where the manipulator bullies the victim into submission. “If you talk to or associate with so-and-so, you won’t have a relationship with me.”

This is a second grade fault that we stop our children from doing. However, when adults feel like they are losing control, we revert to this second grade bullying tactic. Listening has stopped, and fear of the triangulation relationship survival has taken over, if it is allowed. When this tactic is used in any relationship, the manipulator will continue to manipulate, justifying his/her actions from then on, seeing that it worked. This tactic is also used in work situations. “You will do this or else …”

Now imagine if we improve our listening skills with our family and friends, and extend these skills out into the world in order than we be better vibrant listeners. What if we acknowledge the words of those we are listening to by repeating their words to make sure we got the full understanding? How much better we would be in human interaction, politically, socially, civically, and personally in all relationships.

There is much at stake in the world today. All societies are based upon the family. We are born into families. If we make the family stronger with the art of listening, our neighborhoods, our cities and states, and our countries will be able to communicate better.

We also become better listeners when we go to God in prayer, not only pouring out our hearts and concerns in our daily living, but when we practice becoming better listeners to God, Father of Jesus Christ, through meditation.

If we become better listeners, we can stop playing games of not understanding . We do this so as to get our own way without an uprising from those who are trying to pull the wool over the eyes of others. Politicians use this manipulation trick. It is hard to point fingers at others we see using this form of non-communication, when we see ourselves using it as well.

Playing dumb and pretending not to understand, is a manipulation technique. Once we recognize it, we can make it stop. We stop by not playing along in the childish, manipulating game. This manipulation stops being effective when we stop playing along.

It is possible for all of us to become better listeners. We only need to practice it to become better at it.

God Bless

NATURE DOES NOT HURRY, YET EVERYTHING IS ACCOMPLISHED ~ LAO TZU

Do you ever find yourself rushing around until life’s no fun? Is your to-do-list longer than the distance from here to the moon? Will you turn into a purple pumpkin if you do not get it all

You are part of nature. Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. Soak in the peace and relaxation.

done? How is your blood pressure? Having any physical side effects to stress yet? Is your speech coming out faster than a sonic jet? Texting, eating, drinking, on the cell phone while driving, see the problem? Are you addicted to activity? Where’s the balance?

Breathe.

You are in control of you, not your schedule.

You are in control of you, not other people.

You are in control of you, not the situation.

If the merry-go-round of life is going too fast for you, stop and simplify. Find your balance point. It is literally a matter of life and death. The fastest way to age is to live a life of prolonged, severe stress. Stress brings on major, serious illness and death.

Everyone can push extra hard in life, for a short while, to help someone out, to rise to the occasion, or if the job demands a short but strenuous burst of energy from you. Your employer does not own the rights to your life. You do.

No one can sustain prolonged stress. The body breaks down. Your emotional self breaks down. It is not what nature intended for you on the day you were born. At first you may not associate various ailments and symptoms as stress related. Stress is not a natural state for us. Stress is not good for us, no matter how used to it we are.

How do we break out of this extremely addictive, self-destructive habit of racing through life like a chicken with its head cut off? Like changing any other habit, it is going to take 21 days to try on new habits of relaxation techniques, slow breathing exercises, body stretching, aerobic activity, walking, jogging, bike riding or swimming. You know what works for you. Give yourself breaks, that is life saving.

Take a moment to watch how nature works. Roses do not rush to bloom. They take their time. They open and unfold slowly, all in good time. Savor each moment in this life. You are here for a reason. If you fly through your life too fast, you will miss so much. We all have 24 hours in a day. How you spend it really is up to you.

It is a mistake to give everything on your agenda the same emergency intensity, as if completing each task is equivalent to putting out a fire. You are a human being, not a machine. We all know this. It is good to be reminded from time to time, not to take ourself so seriously. When you’re stressed, the first thing to go is your sense of humor. That’s a clue.

Lao Tzu once said,  “Nature Does Not Hurry, Yet Everything Is Accomplished.”
