Gut Feelings: Your Clairsentience - Page 2

Six faces were watching her with amazement. "You must be psychic," the instructor exclaimed. Not five minutes after she left the arena, another horse stumbled and fell - one of the most steady and surefooted in the stable. His rider sprained her ankle. Trish had felt that a fall was going to happen, but she didn't have the specifics of WHO was going to fall.

What many people don't realize is that clairsentience can also be responsible for overwhelming emotions. Because clairsentience is about feeling emotion, you can experience the emotions of someone else and think they are your own.

In one of my classes, a student came in feeling awful. It turned out that her clairsentience was turned on so high that she was acting like a sponge, taking in the emotions of everyone throughout the day at work. By the time she got to class, she was overwhelmed. I showed her how to release the excess emotion and turn her clairsentience down. Within a few minutes, she was herself again, feeling relaxed and happy.

This happens a lot in relationships. It's very easy to take on the emotions and energy of the other person through that second chakra. When a relationship ends and you feel overwhelming grief (even though you know in your head that he wasn't the right guy for you), you might just be experiencing the release of his emotional energy that you took on during the relationship and the breakup.

The key to knowing when what you feel is really a clairsentient experience rather than your own feelings is whether or not you can control the emotion. If you can handle it, if it feels appropriate and manageable, it is generally yours. If it is overwhelming or there doesn't seem to be a reason why you might feel it, or if someone you were just with was experiencing the same thing, it may be a clairsentient experience.

Working with Your Clairsentience

When you get a strong gut feeling, stop and pay attention. Ask yourself questions like these to clarify your feelings:

If I'm picking up something about another person, who would that be?

If there happened to be something going on with that person, what could it be?

If I'm picking up on something around me, what might it be?

You'll notice the "if" format of the questions. This helps you get around the analytical part of your brain that may try to short-circuit your intuition ("this is silly," etc.)
