Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone could clarify that I am indeed Clairvoyant. I have things to happen, like hearing my name, dreams, will awake suddently, smells, pleasent and unpleasent.  I know I am Empath, and I am trying to get intouch with with things. I would really like to further develpoe any abilities I have. I would love to be able to help people. Helping someone gives me a wonderful feeling, although I may have put a need aside just to help. Thank You

To be clairvoyant means that you will MAINLY receive most of your psychic information through your dreams or waking visions - what you SEE with your spirit eyes.

like hearing my name

Hearing things or receiving a stream of thoughts which are obviously not your own is due to your sense of psychic hearing or CLAIRAUDIENCE.

Quote:

smells, pleasent and unpleasent.

Our psychic sense of smell is either regarded as a special case of psychic feeling or CLAIRSENTIENCE, or specifically for smells it is often called CLAIRGUSTANCE. These smells which cannot be easily explained by other more everyday, physical means can under some circumstances be the calling card for a particular spirit entity - his or her way of telling you that they are near to you (mediumship).

I know I am Empath

Quote:

Empathy (from the Greek εμπάθεια, "physical affection, partiality") is commonly defined as one's ability to recognize, perceive and feel directly the emotion of another. Since the states of mind, beliefs, and desires of others are intertwined with their emotions, one with empathy for another may often be able to more effectively define another's mode of thought and mood. Empathy is often characterized as the ability to "put oneself into another's shoes", or to in some way experience the outlook or emotions of another being within oneself, a sort of emotional resonance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empathy

Wanting to help others is the best possible reason for wanting to further develop these and all your other psychic abilities. IMHO

Please therefore continue to ask questions (a maximum of two per posting) on this forum, as well as finding a psychic development circle in your local area or online where you can safely develop your psychic skills with the encouragement of others who are developing their own, under the supervision and caring of a knowledgeable and understanding teacher or other spiritual facilitator (group leader). If there is a Spiritualist church near to where you live, that is often I feel the best place to begin your search.

Welcome to these MB forums from your new friend,

PS: The more you discover about the psychic and the paranormal, the sooner you come to realise that there is still so much more to learn.  

Thank you eye of the tiger. I have been researching everything I can. I do want to develope them further, I would love to be able to help others. I have a friend who is psychic, and she is also a teacher. She is sending me some things to help me. She said my strongest one was Empathy. Thank you for the information, I am really greatful. I have also been invited to go on a ghost hunt they are professionals, and I am excited about this. I just don't understand if I have had this all my life, why has it just now started to effect me? I dream everynight, and can tell you everything that happens in them. Though there are times there may be a few things that seem blury, it could be a face or anything. I mostly see things like watching tv. Again thank you ever so much.

There are grounding and protection exercises to take seriously as you open to the psychic.  Please apply liberally before going on a ghost hunt.  You could be open to way to much to understand in that situation.

what kind of protection and grounding do you think I should do. I am very sensitive to things. I am not afraid, just like the paranormal. Any suggestions would be great.
Thank you
