yes, my father, too- never liked nor allowed much talk of our psychic abilities. My mother was psychic and it ran in her family and daddy foolishly thought he could stop it I think. But after about 20 years of marriage, he finally gave it up and stopped trying.

(smart man!) he never really liked it, but my mom never would read when he was home. she was a card reader and she also snuck to her favorite readers to be read for. Plus her mom and other family members all had their "specialties" and dad was just outnumbered. Soon, when we kids (us girls) were young, mom began to take us for readings too--she would NEVER read for family and so we had to wait to be taken in by mom for that. My first reading I was about 13.
: How sad that they wouldn't offer guidance!
So I was always a bit afraid of some of my abilities--and kept much hidden. But, first a friend in my adult years and then later, A.T. really allowed me to let go of the fear and go with the flow. A.T. is SUPER helpful here!!!
My husband at first also wasn't very excited about it, but he, too, mellowed out a lot & has learned to be quiet about it--though he also now ASKS for readings!
yes, exactly!

oh good, glad you participated.

I will do my best to get a list of books together for you and authors. I will post it here when I do, in case others are also interested. Yes, as was said before, A.T. is GREAT!

Thank God for A.T.
And, one thing I found comforting was reading stories of other psychics abilities and how they found their abilities and how they worked with them. Lots of books on that, some better then others. ...
... also take extra care with opening myself up by first grounding and protecting and whenever I am uncomfortable, I call on my guides and Archangel Michael for help. If I feel any discomfort--I back out immediately, re-ground and rest. Your comfort level and protection is essential first and foremost of course and YOU have to be at the helm of that!

how cool! yes, this occurs to me with hubby and close relatives and friends too. thanks for sharing! actually, you are wrong here! EVERYONE - beginner or pro - have stories they can share ...

T.Y. for this! What a lovely compliment and I truly do thank you! It made my day.
I will come back as soon as I can with various book lists that will help. it may be a few days though as we now have our books scattered around between 2 homes and oh! what a mess!
