Question for Sprit Mum

[Cortina]

I was interested in your post on auras.

I have always known how a person feels about me and what they think about me from first meeting. Is this the same thing as seeing an aura? I can even get that sense from replies to posts etc, except it is a bit more than a sense.

I can be over sensitive but I'm realising gradually that my 'sense' is unusual and others simply can't judge accurately in the way I can.

Usually it is a curse rather than a blessing.

I do have some psychic 'gifts' which I choose not to tap into. They scare me to death. I wonder if my dreams about the house may connect?

Hi, Cortina,

I don't see auras, but I can sense them. It sounds to me like you are picking up on the energy of people when you meet them, and yes, this will be through the aura. It sounds like you are particularly sensitive. There ar eothers on here who work with auras and maybe they can help too. I tend to be more open when I am working with Reiki.

On your other thread I've given a basic method for grounding and protecting. Practise it as much as you can, it will help you to protect yourself and your energies. Start by going through it sitting down, then move around, and then try talking to someone. If you feel really vulnerable you can harden up the edges of your bubble like impenetrable glass, but be aware that people may not be able to connect with you when your bubble is so tough.

Angels are great for protection. Ask Archangel Michael to oversee you and in particular your dreams. You can imagine a royal blue light protecting you instead of a white one as this is his colour.

Caitlin Matthews has a book on psychic protection which is excellent, and so does Judy Hall. I use amethyst crystal because it has a protective energy. So does any of the grounding stones and I think something like black obsidian or smokey quartz would be good for you to carry. (sorry, sounds a bit flakey but it works for me).

I've linked to this lady on your other thread and can vouch for her if you need a little more. She's far, far more experienced in psychic things than I am and will be able to help you should you feel you need protection beyond anything you can manage yourself.

Let me know if I can be of any more help.xx

It all sounds a bit 'out there' for me, but I don't want to be disrespectful. I also, always, keep an open mind and have been reading Cassandra's website with interest. Many thanks.

Cortina, my belief is that all this stuff will one day have an explanation. I think we can pick up on people's thoughts and feelings ('energies'), and I also think that memories can imprint themselves on a place and get played back like a DVD. So it's probably not so 'out there' as it seems. Even what we term 'angels' I experience as energy and maybe one day we'll have an explanation for that, too.

Please feel free to question and challenge, there is no point in any of us talking about this stuff if it cannot stand up to scrutiny.

The grounding and protecting technique very definitely isn't out there though, you'll come across it in things like hypnotherapy where you use visualisation. It really does help.

If that doesn't appeal then you could look at William Bloom's book Feeling Safe. He sues martial arts and breathing to centre and protect himself energetically.
