Ghost Whisperer, Medium, The Sixth Sense, Paranormal Activity... People love the unknown.
People also love a good scare. Truthfully, people just love things that will tug at them psychologically and emotionally. This is why these type of movies and shows appeal to many.
But what if this was something you actually do experience... often? Then what?
Call it a "gut feeling", sensitivity, a gift, whatever you want to call it, I've definitely got it.
I was in rummaging through some of my unpacked boxes from my recent move and attempting to clear a few things up that was cluttering my office when I felt a quick chill. I quickly glanced at my window in the room and noticed it was, in fact, shut. I got up and checked the windows in Ava's room and my bedroom to make sure they were closed and sure enough they were.
Brushing it off, I proceeded with project office declutter.
An hour or so later, I logged onto my computer to check some email's and suddenly felt like someone was watching me. You know that feeling you get when you're eyes are shut but if someone was actually beside you or close to you, you still could sense it? That's the feeling. The only thing was nobody was near me. Ava was fast asleep on my bed for her mid-day nap. Oh man. This again.
You see, this is not something new to me. I've been feeling this practically all my life. Some times stronger than others. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about a sixth sense. A gift that I inherited from my mothers side of the family.
I've not only felt presences but I've actually seen images/figures of people and also Orbs. Quick flashes of white light zipping across a room.
I've heard my name called and I've even had one very upset spirit try to attack me when I was asleep. This was not a nightmare because I literally could not breathe. As if someone was sitting on my chest.
Almost every member of my family has experienced something of this magnitude at some point in their life.
Nobody likes to talk about it but we know it's there.
It's not something I can bring up at a family dinner and say, "So, Dad, Mom. I see spirits and I'd like to talk with you about more. Oh, and by the way. There's a lady standing at the corner of the room watching us eat." :/ It's not an easy topic, and coming from a family with strong Christian beliefs and upbringing, it's virtually impossible.
My husband does not have this sensitivity and in fact, is frightened of it. He never wants me to tell him if I sense something when he's around because he can't handle it. But, despite his trepidation towards this, he is very supportive and has been there to talk with me and hold me tight when I experience something that I really didn't want to.
My daughter on the other hand may potentially have it. Not only does this come from my side of the family but my husband's side of the family also has this gift.
I've caught Ava plenty of times talking with someone and sometimes even tells us or her Grandparents that there's another mommy in the house. :/
I know, creepy, huh? Although I have this, it still always gets to me.
Nothing's harmed her, in fact, there was a time when Ava almost had a very bad fall down the stairs but for some reason, as if a pair of hands had lifted her tiny body in away that protected her from being badly injured during the fall, she left that bad fall with nothing but some tears of fear and shock. That only lasted a couple of minutes. My father-in-law and I stood at the bottom of the steps in awe while checking her and giver her hugs and of course breathing huge sighs of relief. There was no way she would have fell down the way she did with no injuries.
There was surely someone protecting her. I'm thankful for that.
I'm glad to have met others that have this same gift as it doesn't make me feel so scared and crazy.
And trust me, there are times when I feel absolutely delirious because of this.
I've come to terms with it, but I'm still learning each day how to handle it and how to control my fear.
Do I see things everyday? No. Do I actually see full figures/images of people? No. They are never full figured. When I have seen images of people, it was unclear and hazy. And also very quick.
I have mostly felt things and seen orbs than I have actual figures.
Like I said earlier, I'm not tampering or digging deeper into this sensitivity. I will not loathe it either because it's something that was given to me. I will live day after day happily and healthy without worrying about whether or not some "spirit" has plans to take over my body or destroy my household.
It's nothing like that at all. They are peaceful and not out to harm anyone (from my experience). It just so happens sometimes that they are passing by. I believe in angels and I know plenty of times, that's who they were.
It's just unfortunate how the media depicts those with a sixth sense. As if all we see are vengeful or scary looking ghosts that to need complete some unfinished business in order to move on. Perhaps some are. But that's not something that I do. There are specialist's out there that handle that sort of thing.
Why am I sharing this? Because I thought I'd let you know that this stuff, the stuff you see on TV and the movies does happen. But that it's also normal and nothing to fear. I fear the living more to be honest.
