RAISING A CHILD WITH PSYCHIC ABILITIES
83
We Are Born Psychics
During the first five years of life, the reincarnated soul has not been contaminated by what we perceive as a sense of social responsibility. Guilt, pride, failure, and challenges are concepts unknown to children. We are born trusting that nature will take care of us and thinking that we are perfect the way we were created. If only these emotions could last for a lifetime!
Children are extremely receptive to spirituality. In fact, all of us were psychics before being forced to place society's priorities in order. Children can't tell the difference between what we consider real and what we see as fantasy. They are like little sponges - their minds absorb whatever concepts you introduce to them as real. They also look up to their parents for guidance. This is why it's so important to nurture the spirit within, instead of the child within.
This being said, the advice given here is for all parents and not just those who have a little psychic living at home. It's up to you to help your child develop this God-given gift.
What To Look For
STORYTELLERS - We often become amazed at the extent of a child's imagination. Their creativity seems to be as endless as their playful energy. Parents don't always pay attention to their children when they are allowing their imagination run wild. Give a child a pencil and paper and you will be surprised to find a pictorial narration that will leave Stephanie Meyer in the dark! Take the time to listen and they will explain all the details. It could be a past life memory, or it could be something that happened to someone who has entered the spirit world.
IMAGINARY FRIENDS - If you are a movie junkie the thought of your child talking to a spirit will give you the creeps. Hollywood's take on spirits is far from the truth. There is nothing to be scared of. If your child's imaginary friend looks more like the cookie monster than a human being, chances are it's not a spirit. On the other hand, if his description fits that of a human being and he enjoys playing and talking to him, it's likely that he is in the presence of a spiritual being. Many times children are visited by relatives who have past on. Other times, the child simply recognizes those entities that will form part of his life as long as he lives: Spirit Guides. We all have them and they are a God sent! There is no reason to panic and think that someone is trying to hurt your baby. Either way, the smart thing to do is to keep track of your child's behavior as the bond between child and spirit grows. And always remember - you, as the parent, are in control. If you suspect that the "imaginary friend" is a spirit who might not be a good influence, you have the power to talk to it with authority and set the rules over your household. That usually does the trick and they'll leave the child alone. The worse thing anyone can do is fear a spirit.
DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES Spirits will often communicate with us through dreams, and they usually know how to get their message across without the need for drama. Some dreams are more difficult to interpret because the symbolism changes from one person to the next. It is important to listen to your child's dreams and learn the difference between a dream and a revelation. Again, the dream could be about a past-life memory, a future prediction, or a spiritual journey. If your child has vivid dreams and likes to share them with you, it's a good idea to keep a log of what they are. If the dreams turn to nightmares, there are a couple of things you can do. If the nightmares are being caused by a spirit that is trying to communicate with the child, find out what is scaring the child.
The imagery is too violent and graphic - (As in the case of a spirit who is trying to show something bad that happened to him while he was alive) This is what you can do: talk to the spirit yourself. Don't think of them as extraterrestrial beings. They are people just like you and me. The only difference is that they no longer inhabit a body. Explain to this entity that you understand his need to communicate, but he needs to let go of whatever happened in the past and leave all the negative energy behind. Tell him that he is frightening your child. After that, just wait and see. The spirit might stop trying to communicate altogether, or it might choose a lighter, friendlier approach.
The child is perceiving the experience in a negative way This usually happens once they are gaining consciousness of our human reality. If the child understands that he is being visited by something that is not supposed to exist, he will become extremely frightened. This is the case with many children who wake up in the middle of the night screaming because they think someone is hiding in their closet; and those who try to find any excuse to stay awake because they are afraid to dream of something unusual. It takes time and lots of patience to help your child regain the confidence and trust they were born with. Try to calm their fears by assuring them that there is nothing to be scared of, and show them how to control each situation by communicating openly with any entities or energies that might approach them while they are in a dream state. Never brush off a dream by downplaying its importance. If you do that, you are only showing them how to discard their psychic abilities.
Remember, feeding your child's imagination does not consist of pretending to believe in the tooth-fairy and Santa Claus. It's a long-term process that will eventually find the proper balance resulting in a highly creative, healthy, spiritual adult.

Sarmack, It's wonderful that you have the wisdom to understand your parents' strengths and weaknesses as they were learning how to raise their child. The fact that you can look back to the way you were raised, taking whatever strategies you found positive while still finding room for improvement, says a lot about you. Your children are lucky to have a mom that is so open-minded as well as intelligent. If everyone had that combo, the world would be a peaceful place to live.
I am a 15 year old boy. Whenever or if ever I have a dream it is always either a nightmare or I am seeing something of the future. These nightmare's have unborn spirit's in them (Devils/Fallen-Angels) and are always gruesome with people dying, usually with people being torn apart by demonic beings. The demonic beings usually take the form of bipedal bulls, sheep and horses and are usually black or white. I also frequently hear voices talking to me and commanding me. I know I'm being haunted, but their not human. Do you not believe in demons? In reading what you've written you would claim all these spirits to be other people. Take in the fact that all spirits are not always people. Do you want to know the difference between a human spirit or demonic one?
A Demon will mostly taunt terrorise and most likely seek to destroy you so it can be sure you are weak enough to be possessed. Keep in mind a Demon's main goal is to possess you. Demons are also capable of possessing animals. Also a Demon is an insane creature and is crazily under the control of lust and has no self-control as it is created from pure darkness, it's lust is to possess. A Demon will come at an area because it has either once been welcomed their or it has found an easy target, usually kids and teens.
A Human Spirit is never nearly as violent or as crazy/insane as a demon and CANNOT possess another person, but can talk and influence others. Human Spirits are left behind and seem to be forsaken. They are usually around the place of were there death was caused, the place of there deceased body, or a very familiar place to them such as there old home or around family member. If around a family member it is usually a favorited, or the youngest such as a child. They are also capable of picking up objects, and showing their past lives in dreams or visions.
Fallen Angels are the most unusual creatures and are extremely hard to describe. Unlike demons they have wings and were once peaceful as angels, but they are malicious now and are extremely intelligent. Also unlike demons they do not possess anything. A Fallen Angel will try to spread sin to damn people and make a person self-destruct.
When I was four I too had an "imaginary friend". Can you guess its name? Its name was Legion. This thing still haunts me. My mother knows of it too. She prays for me every day, but sadly I've already lost who I once was.
I have taken my time to write this mainly to tell you all to be cautious to what your child is explaining to you. Make sure a child stays away from any demonic spirits or they'll end up destroyed beyond comprehension.
Legion, I am sorry to hear that your spiritual experience has been a negative one. However, you, being only fifteen years of age, speak of this subject as someone who knows all the answers. Let me remind you that this is what we call The Unknown. Nobody (not even me) knows what is truly going on in the spirit world. It is true that there is a negative energy but that's not what this hub is about. What has happened to you is not very common. Demons are Demons, not spirits. When I refer to spirits, I am talking about the souls of the departed, not evil entities that come to harm people. If a parent is suspecting their child is contacting a spirit, there is no need to panic. I know it must be hard for you to understand this because of what you've experienced. However, it is not late for you to free yourself from this negativity that surrounds you. There are many things that you can do to get rid of this entity. But I'll tell you right off the bat, that using it's name as your username in hubpages is not going to help you. In fact, by doing this you are allowing it to own you. It's not a wise thing to do and I ask that you consider my advice on this. I am here if you need me. God bless you!
I've always had psychic abilities. Since my mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother had them, too, Mom knew how to handle mine. Thumbs up for this interesting hub!
This hub speaks to me in so many ways. Thank you for having the courage to put it out there in a world that is too often closed to anything other than the five physical senses.
Thanks for the kind comments. God bless! :)
The 'site' has been in my family for quite some time now, my mother disregarded her's, I've embraced mine. We talked about it just before her passing. She has visited my youngest daughter, who is also embracing hers. My Grandmother is with me often.
On a visit to my son's home, I took my grandson(he was 2), it was early in the morning we were sitting on the porch, we had a visit from a Spirit, I thought it might have been the previous owner who passed. I asked if it was (one of the toys on the porch had a horn, my grandson was sitting next to me) the spirit was using the horn to communicate. 1 for yes, twice for no. Through asking questions and getting beeps, It was my Mother with us that day. I introduced her to my grandson, and 'felt' that she was proud.
I wish I could get more visits more often. I am continually trying to develop my abilities. I keep an open mind for whatever may come.
Great Hub, I'm glad I found it!
Spoooky and shivery..but never the less a very interesting hub..I think the advise you gave to the 15 yrs old kid was very right..I hope I never attract any negative energy anytime..I wish the same for everyone here..it was great to read this hub..
Thank you Sweetsusieg and @MagicBoy for your comments. God bless you both!
I too believe that we are born with some psychic ability, and many adults possess it to a small degree...unless they nurture it! We see the little events in our lives everyday that are based on this inherent psychic ability. Great hub!
Thank you Cristoph! :D
I knew you were gonna say that!
Interesting perspectives and details about children and psychic skills, klarawieck. Do you know anything about Harlequins? Or about how to talk to a child who has, perhaps, seen a harlequin?
I know nothing about it mythbuster. I have not really studied that much about the occult. I only know what I know from my own experiences and what I've been taught by my mother who was an incredibly gifted psychic. Feel free to share with me anything you think might be beneficial for me. Thanks!
Great hub. I love to read about psychic abilities. I will read more of your hubs.
Thanks brakel2. I'm happy to hear you liked it.
Is this really true? Is being psychich really true?
I wish you would read my hubs, the abilities which are awake in me nearly drove me mad. I am self disciplined, but only by the grace of God from where these things are generated. I am 55. Had my first clairvoyant episode when I was 6. It came true 8 yrs later, but I couldn't admit it to myself until eleven years after that. This can be nurtured. I know how.
That's wonderful, Druid. I am happy you are open-minded to the ability we all have of seeing more than meets the eye. I will definitely read your hubs!
My daughter is five years old and is having problems sleeping. She has never been able to sleep through the night even as a baby. She usually wakes up at the same time each morning. However, since my husband has joined the military and is currently away, my daughter has been been waking up in a half-conscious state where she is crying nonstop over missing her daddy. Recently, she has been expressing that her ear hurts when she awakens, but she does not have an ear infection of any kind.
I have suspected for a while that she has very real, lucid dreams...almost premonitions? I can't help but feel that she is picking up on my husband being overseas and I don't know how to verfiy her dreams because she usually does not remember them. All I know is that neither one of us are getting any sleep and I don't know how to handle the situation. Can anyone help?
Thanks for your comment, Concerned Mom.
Your daughter might be picking up on your own energy. It's normal that you feel anxious knowing that your husband is away. This energy that you are emitting could be overwhelming to a young child who is sensitive to other's emotions. Even if you act calm when you are around her, your aura would still show and radiate your anxiety and concern. I recommend that you try some meditation and visualization techniques. Bring yourself to a relaxed state, and visualize how you'd like to see your child... serene, sleeping soundly, happy and relaxed. Then visualize a light protecting your daughter as she is sleeping. This light will not only protect her from disturbing thoughts and dreams, but it will also replenish her state of mind so that she may wake up feeling good about herself and her family.
Visualization is a wonderful tool when done daily. You can also do this to protect your husband. The physical distance is of no importance. You can help him mantain a good positive outlook, and wrap him in good energy that will keep him safe while he is away. Try it for a few days and let me know how it's working. God bless!
Wow Klara, I can't believe I only just read this for the first time. You just told my daytoday life as a 4yrold.
I knew there was something about you! I'm glad you can relate.
I love this. My grandmother thought I has a sixth sense or something but she would always chastise me and tell me to hush and not tell others about my dreams or feelings.I don't know that I had any such abilities. But I do recall seeing things different as a child and her being upset and fearful about it. She was very superstitious.
Hello leann2800, thanks for taking the time to read my hub. The way your grandma responded is very normal. When people don't understand they fear.
Like Jonathan, I can't believe I've only just discovered this hub. I should write one, too; my daughters have gifts that I don't have, and growing up with them was an adventure. My hubby helped me to understand from his experiences, which are recently becoming stronger. Thanks for the good read.
That's wonderful Sandy! I'm so glad to hear you are open minded to your girls' abilities.
My son has the ability to read my mind, and also can see spirits. a friend of mine told me to try to block him out from your thoughts, as hes only 3 and has been using it to his advantage for the past 2 years. i am a stay at home mom and aparently have a strong connection with him since the three of us are all we see all day. is there a book to give me guidance to raise my son with the proper guidance he needs supportively as he grows? he has a 1 yr old brother that i dont see has the same ability, he has tried rejecting his guardian causing problems, and giving me nightmares and my 3 yr old ignoring all their attempts.
I don't know any books on this subject, but if I come across anything you'll be the first to know. Sounds like you know what each child has to offer. I suggest that you continue nourishing his abilities and don't try to block him, because it is a beautiful connection and it will eventually fade away as he grows older. If you nourish it now, it won't be lost completely later on. Remember that those individuals who come into our lives and don't necessarily fit in are placed there for a reason. Be patient with the 1 year old brother, and remember he's been sent to you to teach you a lesson. It could be a lesson on tolerance, patience, or kindness. Be good to him, and things will turn out for the best.
I have a question. my almost 3 year old talks of a pink fuzzy grandma she sees and plays iwth all the time. i went to a psychic 2 weeks ago who indicated there is my huband's grandmother around us and picked up on her name. now my daughter is tellinmg me about a friend she has that is 5 and pink and fuzzy. the psychic said that the rays come across to children as fuzzy or spikey. is this true? do you think her imaginary friend is also a spirit? she is not afraid of anything and i am trying to support her in all this and let her know it is okay and she can talk to me about any of it.
She could very well be seeing spirits. The pink fuzzy could be: 1. Spirits are showing themselves in a kid-friendly manner so she doesn't become spook. 2. It could be the same spirit that is representing herself in different ages of a past life. Spirits often do this because they want you to see what they were like when they were the happiest. 3. The pink and fuzzy might be her own interpretation of what a spirit is. Mediums make their own personal connection. I know a great medium who knows that she's connecting with her client's dead mother whenever she sees the female spirit holding white flowers. So, the pink and fuzzy could be her own psyche letting her know these are spirits. And it might change over time as she grows older.
Good luck to you and your daughter! I wish you all the best! Thanks for reading.
I have always been fascinated with psychics. I used to love to watch Sylvia Browne when she guest-starred on the Montel show. Just the other night I watched Long Island Medium and just thought it was the coolest thing. Now for the main reason I'm writing this...tonight the doorbell rang downstairs, but the motion light wasn't on and no one was there. I jokingly told my mom it was a ghost, but she didn't laugh. She told me some stories about when I was little and said that I used to talk to ghosts.
She told me one story about before I could walk. She said she had put me to bed, shut off the light, and gone downstairs with my dad. She said usually I went to bed right away, but that night I was just chatting away. She came upstairs to check on me and I was standing up in my crib--the light was on. She asked me why the light was on and I said, "The man, Mommy. The scary man." But there was no one else in my room.
She said that I used to complain of people in my head talking to me, that wouldn't leave me alone. Then my dad mentioned how I used to say I saw his dad all the time. My grandpa had died while my dad was in high school and I had never seen any pictures of him. Mom also mentioned how right after her dad died (I was 9) I would say he would come and scare me all the time. I loved my grandpa very much and I know he would never hurt me.
The funny thing is...I don't remember any of this. I remember that I used to dream about witches all the time. I also remember being afraid of demons crawling in my bed and hurting me or scaring me. I could never sleep without blankets because I needed protection from the demons at night.
But as you may have guessed, I can no longer speak with or see spirits. Sometimes I feel as though someone is watching me or listening to me, but I never can be sure. I still have a really hard time with death. Like I said, my mom's dad died when I was nine. I will be 15 in a few weeks and I still cry all the time because I miss him and I want to talk to him.
Also a little off topic, I have dreams a lot. I don't usually remember them until they happen in real life. They don't usually happen right away, but like...say a month or so later the EXACT thing I saw in my dream will happen.
Now I know I didn't lose my gift because I felt ashamed about it...because my parents supported it 100%. They believe in spirits and believed that what I said when I was little was true. I may have lost it because I was scared, but I've always been open to the idea of it and I would love to have a way to communicate with the dead. I was just wondering, has anyone else experienced this? And is there any way I could maybe be able to do this again? Is there any way I could ever get my gift back?
I'd really appreciate help. Thanks so much :)
Hello Kam! Thanks for posting about your experience. It sounds like you were born with a natural gift. It's called Mediumship - the ability to communicate with souls and to recognize spiritual energy around you. What you thought were demons could easily be a negative energy that was surrounding you at the time. Fear tends to exagerate the effect of a negative force. It happens to most people, especially once you've come to terms with what we believe is "reality". If you can't explain it in a logical way, it is terrifying.
Your grandfather is most likely with you at all times even though you can't see him. Remember that when we mourn for those who have died, we are really mourning for us and not for them. They can still see you, hear you and help you. We can't. Now, mediumship doesn't happen like they show you in movies. When spirits communicate with us they do it in very subtle ways. It could be a dream (so full of symbolism that you can't make out what the spirit is trying to say), a gentle tug on your shirt, the sensation of someone standing next to you, a specific scent, etc. Although at times spirits do show themselves (full apparition) it's not that common. I've only been able to see full body apparitions twice in my life and both times I panicked. LOL It happens!
If you are born being a medium you already have the gift. It's a God given talent, like singing - you can spend years without singing a song but that doesn't mean that you can't sing. I recommend that you do daily meditations - laying in bed with your eyes closed, trying to keep your mind clear from thoughts, and ask your gate keeper (most important spiritual guide in your circle) to help you cross the obstacle that's keeping you from using your talent to the best of your abilities. Most importantly, don't get too stuck on this. People tend to go on spiritual paths and go overboard. You don't need a psychic to tell you your future because all the answers lie inside your soul. Meditate and pray. It will take a while but you'll have revealing dreams and little by little you'll gain your confidence back. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

I am writing this out of desperation. My 8-yr. old for years has had vivid and often disturbing dreams. We have tried therapy thinking it was a way she was dealing with her little sister being born. But 4 years later it is getting increasingly more scary. It seems for the last 6-8 months, whatever evilness she dreams about it taunting her. It will leave her written messages, in her dream, and then "tickle" her, which causes her to shout in terror and/or comes running into our room without her feet barely touching the floor. She is always very cold and out of breath and shaking. I am very scared for her. I don't know what to do, where to turn, who to consult. I believe there may be something bad at work. She is a very creative and immaginitive child. When conscious, she has never talked or said she has seen or heard anything, it is only though dreams. Please help or give me a place to turn!
amyn55,
I'm really sorry to hear about your child having these night terrors. Small children often see, dream, and sense spirits and don't seem to be afraid because they don't understand what most people consider "real" and "fantasy". But when they start getting to that age where they know the difference, and still they are experiencing something that doesn't have an explanation, they tend to freak out (in the same manner that most adults would freak out if they were to see a full apparition). I used to have these night-terrors as a child, and would wake up screaming. Until my mother, who was a medium, explained to me that these were simply spirits of people who no longer lived in our world and who approached me because they knew I could see them. It took me a while but she helped me get rid of that fear, and then the night-terrors went away.
Prayer is the only thing that works. Pray to God and to your guardian spirits to help you remove any dark energy around your son. Most of the time these souls are not demons, but spirits who don't have a lot of light. They try to get close to help but end up screwing everything up because they can't perform any better. But prayer will help them achieve a higher state of consciousness. One of the spirits that used to pester me around when I was a child became a guardian of mine as an adult. It all depends on the time and effort you're willing to put out to help them.
I recommend that you talk to your daughter and teach her how to pray, and try to be as cool about it as possible. Because sometimes children can read the fear off their parents' faces and it makes it worse. Smudging with sage seems to cleanse the aura real well, but I would try to stay away from any rituals because these things will only make your daughter fear the unknown more.
So there, I know this will help if you are patient and cool about it. Talk to your child, pray to your guardian spirits, pray to the pestering spirit that he/she may find the light - talk to this spirit about God and about salvation (they do listen and they want to be helped), and use sage to cleanse your child's room when she's not around. Be very patient and constant. Prayer doesn't work like you see on TV, where the medium says, "Walk into the light" and the spirit disappears. I wish it were that simple!
Good luck, and keep me posted.
I came to a beautiful section Klara.Nice to meet you in hubpages.(Luckily I posted that question:).Psychic abilities is one of my favourite topics.I'm not a psychic though.I got interested in this because of my dreams.A lot of times my dreams come true but I've not been able to develop it properly.And sometimes, when I speak something accidentally things come true.My friends have stopped me form speaking anything bad.But I keep telling them that it's not because of me.I say it accidentally without intention and things come true.However, these experiences have decreased.The most important reason why I became interested in these things is because of my dreams that had deep meaning.Once I saw my teeth falling in my dream,a month later my one of my cousins passed away.I saw a bomb blast in my dreams,it really took place after 2 days.I was shocked.Similarly, I saw plane crashed and I could not leave for my country that particular time due to some problems with my plane tickets.My father passed away when I was very young.I always used to see that I opened the door to heaven and earth and all spirits were set free to visit earth.I used to see that particular dream so many times.Now I've grown up, I don't see that dream anymore.It felt good reading your hub.I was born in 7 months.:).I hope these things did not happen because of it.You can also read my hub on'I was the trapped spirit'It was so complicated.I just wished if someone could answer me that.Reading your hub made me think about these things again.Your hub is really beautiful and interesting.
Thank you, jirel! Yes, I know that symbols change depending on the person but I think that the falling tooth has the same meaning for everyone, or at least almost everyone. Every time I dream about a tooth falling or breaking is letting me know someone's going to die.
I also lost my father when I was young, and weird thing was that I had a dream that he was saying good bye to me that same night, even though I was miles away and didn't hear about his death until late in the afternoon of the following day. My mother freaked out because I had told her the dream about my father, and then the news came about his sudden death. He had been pretty healthy up to that point, so it took us by surprise.
It sounds like your dreams are very clear. What a great gift you have! Make sure you keep a dream journal and a pen by your bed so that you can write the dreams you have right away before you forget them. Do a lot of meditation and ask your guiding spirits to help you explore your potential. Sounds like you are on the right track.
I'm not big on astrology, but I've been told we're all entering a new period where humanity will become more in tuned with their spiritual side, and many of us will experience enhanced intuition. I've been feeling it, too, and many other mediums and psychics I know have felt the increase in awareness. It's pretty cool. Keep on doing what you're doing. I'll check out your hub right now. Thanks for reading mine.
Nice page, I especially like the positive aura to it. My mother raised us in a very spiritual, new age way and not only encouraged us in our dreams, but recorded them. She has recorded her own dreams for over 40 years and recently wrote a book entitled Journey of Dreams, 40 years of dream keeping.
But one of the things I enjoyed the most were some of the games she invented to help us "develop" our ESP abilities. Two games specifically were the marble game and dice game. The marble game was just 10 different colored marbles in a brown paper bag. We would sit and put our hand in the bag, quietly concentrate on what color we "felt" and then she would record the results. My brother and I would get competitive and do this for hours. The other was simply taking a pair of dice and concentrating on a specific number and trying to roll it, and again she would track the results. I don't know if it actually developed anything, but it was fun and certainly contributed to both of us being open and receptive to "alternative" beliefs. We were raised by the Golden Rule and to take what we felt was truth and learn from it, and to leave behind negative or harmful beliefs that didn't resonate with our inner awareness.
Thanks for sharing. I hope it helps parents in encouraging their children along their path.
procreate-light, what a great way to sharpen the intuition of children! My mother never did anything like that, but I think it's a fabulous idea. You should write a hub about those practices. I think it would help a lot of parents who don't know what to do with children who have the gift of mediumship.
Thanks for reading! God bless!
Voted up and everything except funny. Maybe that's why I still have a penchant for things and just sit at the computer and write non-stop!
Thank you avannovice. Your support is much appreciated.
My younger brother started talking about a past life, that of his grandfather. It started when he asked our father where such-and-such was, a person who had died before my brother was born. When questioned he described working in a steel mill, his routine, his nickname "Peanut" and even the unique tongs used in rolling steel. My brother, however, was born 3 days BEFORE our grandfather died. This has been explained by others who follow this subject by way of the fact that "the soul" can take up to 3 days to enter the body of a family member or someone close to him in his past life.
Hi Lilleyth, thanks for your comment. I haven't heard anything about three days, what I've actually heard is that the soul reincarnates at the time of conception but it doesn't quite enter the body completely until weeks before birth. But to me, it sounds like your younger brother was probably born with mediumship and, even at such an early age, was able to channel the spirit of your grandfather. Sounds like he could have been trasnfigurating the spirit, which is amazing.
If you're interested in some reading on this whole ordeal of reincarnation, I highly recommend Dr. Brian Weiss books. He came upon this by "chance" while trying to use regression techniques to help one of his patients who had many phobias. At the time, he was the head of the psychiatric department at Mount Sinai Hospital, here in Miami Beach. His first book is called "Many Lives, Many Masters" and it's basically his treatment with his first patient and how she jumped right back to a past life while giving very specific details.
Thank you so much for reading and commenting.
My grandmother was born in Ireland and had a very strong gift. Back then it was an accepted part of life there. She had dreams and "feelings". Her brothers never told her when they were coming up to her little farm from New York City to visit, just trying to catch her unaware. But they never surprised her and she always had extra places set at the table when they came to the door. My father and grandfather also talk about her knowing when my dad was coming home from working out of town or staying over. She always knew whether to set the table or not. More, she was visited by her own grandmother after she emigrated to the States. Two weeks later she received a cable that her gramma had passed away the same time she saw her in her bedroom in America.
I have always had vivid, long, detailed dreams, including nightmares, even as a small child. However I would not call them prophetic. However I always had a knack for finding things and people, and contacting certain friends just when they need me. There are also a few that I seem to monitor in my dreams and know what's going on in their lives even though they are thousands of miles away. And of course that mom thing where you know when to start looking for your child because you get a feeling and sure enough, he's just about to toddle into traffic or fallen out of a tree. I did have imaginary friends, but although I could fill the space they were in with their image, I knew they weren't really there. I lived out in the boonies with my sister and we imagined everything. We both grew up to become very creative people.
Thanks for posting this very interesting hub.

Thank you, Kate. It often happens that mediumship is passed on from mother to daughter or granddaughter. Sounds like your grandma was an incredible medium. So I'm not surprised you have inherited a similar gift.
Thank you for sharing your story with me. I think it would make a fabulous hub!
Bob Proctor talks about this a lot in his programs. How when we are born, we are completely pure. The next 4-5 years of an infants life, their sub-conscious mind is wide open. The sub-conscious mind can only accept things and they have no ability yet to use their conscious minds which can reject. If more parents knew and understood this, I think they would be extra careful in what they say and how they act because the child picks up on that and mimicks their authority figure. Good read.Voted up!
manofmystery24,
I think Bob Proctor is correct. We lose our connection with the source of all knowledge as we grow up. And even though it's difficult to reconnect after a certain age, it is possible. Never too late.
Thanks for reading, voting, and commenting.

A story I have been told is true: "Shortly after bringing their second child home from the hospital where it was born, the slightly older first child said that she wanted to speak to the baby alone. The parents at first avoided the request, but realized that by listening to the baby's intercom they would be able to rush in if the first child's request was based on sibling rivalry. Listening in they heard the first child say, "Tell me about Heavenly Father, I'm beginning to forget."
Aww... Gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing that with me. :)

It would have been wonderful if my parents had been able to read this article when my brother and I were children! My father used to downplay my dreams. My mother would start yelling and become abusive when I would have premonitions of things. She hated the fact that I Knew people inside and out. It was not that they were bad parents. They were wonderful parents. They just did not Understand how my life fit into the scheme of things. My mother finally Realized, who I am and what I am alive for, just before she died. Thank you very much for this article. May my children be Blessed by it as they Realize why they were brought up the way they were!
