When I was about 4-6 I would have night terrors about this girl and paranormal things that would happen to her. Then they stopped. When I was nine I am sure my sister was being haunted I would see things from the corner of my eye down by her bedroom I got to the point where I was totally freaked out so I tried to block it. As I did this felt something dark at the end of my bed just standing there. When I was seventeen I met a girl who told me all the nightmares I had as a child and clammed them to be her past. For 3 months I was haunted things would follow me from my church to my house and into my bad room and watch me. During the summer before I met this girl I read two peoples mind just simple thoughts. First one I said out loud without thinking it was my sister she was sitting next to me. The next was my boy friend cousin before I knew the connection I didn't even know her or talk to here she said something about how amazing she thought I was and then when I did meet her she quoted herself. I knew it was not my thoughts I was thinking because I never thought I would think that about myself. So, this girl tried to get me to read minds etc. It finally got really bad I had to go to my bishop after that I haven't had any problems. It was so bad. Normally I could tell them to go away but there was one instead of giving me night terrors it woke me up at night and it would follow me around the house. Later I realized the same thing happened to me as a kid.
Lately I have been interested in all of this I know I was visited by a guide and was helping me get my life back together. Then I found a medium who told me I am meant to be a medium if I take this as a gift. I don't know where to start
"Are you saying this mediation will help me with my gift so that I may help others?"
Yes, meditation will help. Put on some calming music - flute songs, ocean waves, Celtic Women, something that is calming for you. In a quiet room and a relaxed position, close your eyes, concentrate on your breathing and let your mind go.
Do this for 30 minute or so every day if possible.
Yes, when I am working on healing others I sometimes see energy changes, not black but darker spots, or waves in the aura, or sometimes my hands are just guided to the location. I visualize energy coming from heaven, the universe, and flowing into mother earth to be recycled into positive loving energy to be used by all.
As far as what you should look into, you need to discover what works best for you. I can't answer that one. All I or anyone can do is let you know what works for us so that you can find if it works for you as well or if you need to do something different.
You are very welcome. I'm glad I could help. I hope that you are able to acheive greatness and find your abilitys to help you in many ways.
