Hello Spirit Intuitive Friends! Hope you are well wherever you are as we begin this month of March! Today, I’m kinda doing a little refresher for anyone new to this blog but even if you’re not, perhaps you can learn something new (: After all, that is one of the reasons we are here. I’m gonna just jump right in with some common questions regarding spiritual gifts happening to some and maybe not so much for others.

~~~  Why do they seem to open after someone dies but not others who have passed prior?

~~~  Why at this time of your life?

~~~Why are you seemingly “chosen” but not others?

~~~  Why do you feel different but aren’t sure why?

*** These are the majors so I will do my best explaining. My wish is for you to possibly become more educated if any of these questions resonated in your life. First off, if you have had spiritual gifts since childhood, you are very familiar with plenty of this but if not like me—- you aren’t or weren’t. I had NO IDEA of any of this is it was never part of my upbringing of belief systems with my family. It actually always was part of me, I just had to remember. Let’s start with the first question…

That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking after Warrior passed. I mean— come on, if I had these gifts why didn’t they open some after my own relatives passed like grandparents I was close to? It’s all Divine timing friends.  Also, you need to have a certain connection in order for contact to happen. I actually went thru each person who has passed in my life that were significant and played out the timing of events. Each one of them involved something going on in my life at the time that was either personal or professional. Yes, I know anything can happen regardless of your current situation but it wasn’t like that for me. When he passed, my life had already shifted somewhat with kids being a little older and not needing me in an extreme way anymore so it was time for new experiences. Ask yourself that question of why a certain person and not another and see if you can line up any events that would make sense. Maybe your relationships are going well as is your career and then a connection might happen. Now, I’m not saying things will be perfect ever but if you are taking the time to slow down some, you might notice a few subtle shifts in your own spiritual perspective.

The Universe knows what you can and can’t handle so it’s all synchronicity lined up just for you. Perhaps as a child, I wasn’t ready for all this and needed to experience life more. Perhaps also, I needed my kids to grow up some and become more independent so I could focus on my own personal growth more. Even though I was very close with one of my Grandma’s, it doesn’t always work that way. My daughter was going thru a very rough mental and emotional time then ( unrelated to Grandma’s passing) and I needed to focus on her. You see how it works?

Let’s move onto the next question. Why at this time of your life? I sorta answered that already but for you—- why personally? You have to ask yourself this  as only you have that answer inside. Again, it’s different for all of us. Just don’t always buy into myths surrounding spiritual gifts such as: if you were super close to someone, they’ll contact you for sure, if you pray all the time, you’ll get some kind of spiritual “nudge,” if you beg and plead, the Universe will give you exactly what you want, and so may others. Spiritual gifts also are very diverse and don’t just involve contact from our loved ones on the other side. That does happen but not all the time and not at first. Maybe you need to do some work on your own first. I was doing actions that indirectly led to my gifts becoming more open and sometimes, that’s exactly how it is. We are living our lives doing what we enjoy or what interests us and then, WHAM! Something changes. It can be a big in your face event or maybe smaller things over time. Both happen and they both happened like that for me.

The next one is a little tricky since we don’t want to ever boast or brag. Maybe some are very fearful or afraid of these spiritual changes and don’t know what to do. There is always a reason even though you may not see it at the time. I made some simple life decisions that got the ball rolling for me. Relationships, diet, alone time, fitness, books, T.V., anything! Most gifts do and will open after a HUGE event in your life. It isn’t just the death of someone. It can be a new job, marriage, baby, career, a dream, new love, a car accident, or anything similar. It isn’t always bad stuff either. I’ve mentioned a big car accident in my life but did I have any out of body experiences or near death ones then? Nope, not at all…. For most of us that have gifts open, you are ALREADY an H.S.P. ( highly sensitive person) or an empath. You feel things differently than most and are sensitive to emotions. You’re not crying all the time or anything extreme but it is part of your personality which enables gifts to spiritually open. It’s all contingent on your belief systems and mindset. I had no clue about any of this until I researched to find out more. It fit me to a T. My book Spirit and Belief explains so much more with traits that lined up for me to receive spiritual gifts.

Another aspect to consider is the jealousy of others. Often times in readings, some will become frustrated how others’ loved ones are coming thru and no one is for them. You might have done everything for someone before they passed, maybe you lived with them, knew them the best, or anything. Get rid of how it’s supposed to be and let go of a certain outcome. We can’t be demanding toddlers or expect anything. I know this sounds so hard during grief but it’s really the truth which is what I’m all about. You may have some blockages or maybe the person isn’t ready, doesn’t have the energy yet, or doesn’t know their abilities. It never is because they don’t love you. Don’t ever think that—EVER…. They might have issues on their end still needing to be addressed as well. Be patient, trust, and be consistent. Yes, I say that a lot but it is true.

You will feel different like that last question but it can be scary. When I had my very first Spirit Visit Dream from my Grandpa, it was like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. It was the closure I needed to move on. You may not have these dreams but try other practices and notice how they make you feel. Do you get a tingling feeling when you meditate? Don’t worry, that’s a good sign. Your team of spirit helpers are with you cheering you on. Have you read spiritual material (like this blog!!!) and it just feels right for you? Great— keep going and do more of what lifts your soul up in a positive way. We need to do more of what makes us all feel GOOD. Ask the Universe for any encouraging signs but become detached with how you will get them. Little baby steps lead to bigger ones. Try something by itself  for a bit and see what feelings you get. If it isn’t for you after a while, try something else. The Universe isn’t judging you but remember that it is the journey and not the destination so there is no rush friends…. I could expand on this so much more but hopefully, this information will fill you up for now. Check out some of my previous posts on intuition and tips you can try to become more one with your own spiritual gifts. Just embrace them and not fear them. They will work with you if you truly want that connection.

Please share this post with anyone who needs to find out more about why these spiritual gifts open and how to make sense of them. I’m always wishing you well on your own journey and thank the Universe along the way! If you are struggling, try some techniques to bring you back and just ask for guidance. Your team is waiting……

~~~ Next week, I will be discussing all about Free Will and Fate. Those are some serious words along with karma and destiny….. Are they all the same? Stay tuned and stay true Spirit Friends!!! Follow me here, Work With Me, book info, twitter, youtube, and pinterest (:
