Childhood Influences that Heighten Psychic Powers
It's widely excepted that sensitivity to PSI runs in families. And cultures were Shamanism is a misrecognize, the role of shaman is often hereditary.

I think the question you should be asking is are some people "too" sensitive,
I think that goes along with what I'm asking. With the ones that are overly sensitive is there anything they can do to stop it?
Sure there are good things that come out of people like this but they also deal with a lot of bad things too and it is my understanding you have to take the good with the bad you can't have one and not the other.
Any form of pursuit that requires you to fill your mind or to capture it's focus should be employed to reduce the effects... though this will only be effective while you are doing said pursuit.
Some people never learn to tune out when they want... others it takes a great deal of self discipline.... What you need to do is increase your self worth and your internal EGO.
This will give you the strength to not get washed away in the flow of it.
Peace,
Korg.
The ego is a dangerous thing to be fanning the flames of. It is a beast once unleashed that is hard to get back in the bottle so to speak. I wish I could tell you how not to be overly sensitive because you dont want to be cold either. good luck buddy its an interesting path you are on. just have fun with it.
Investing in your ego gives you strength. I can honestly say to you that I am the strongest person I know when it comes to EGO. There is not a person alive that could intimidate me or rail road over me.
This has a lot to do with IQ but mostly it is to do with total Self Belief.
Being real and true to yourself in the moment and most of all being as direct as you can be.
Peace,
Korg.
I have walked that road to its conclusion a long time ago. Only the poor think they need wealth and only weak people think they need strength.

If you are always true to yourself, wealth does not matter and no matter how strong someone may physically be no one will ever be able to touch the real you inside.

Have problems with electronics? Yes
Know what kind of a person they are before they speak? Yes.
Get headaches often? Yes there are times they get so bad I can not see.
Feel an inner strength from dealing from so much within? Yes.
Know when someone is sick and they don't even know? Usually they already know. But yes.
Feel the presence of evil? Yes
See movement where there isn't any? Yes
Do you prefer rooms without corners? I'm not sure what you mean by that but I do find it ironic that every corner in my home has furniture caddy cornered in it.
Feel the world is alive, we all think so but you know it? Yes
Get feelings you have to do something, and when you do, it had a reason? Yes and no. I frequently have a felling I have something I absolutely need to do something but can't figure out what.
Have a special place you feel most comfortable? Yes
Feel like you're not from here? Sometimes, as a child until mid teens I don't so much any more.
See aura's? No
Know things you shouldn't? Sounds crazy but you know what I mean. Yes
Have different experiences with animals? Yes
Have physical effects when the sun erupts with solar flares, do you feel different? I don't know
Know people that think you're weird because they don't understand or believe? No one really knows about these things. The 5 that do 2 of them think i'm weird the other 3 understood because they've seen it over the years.

Lol, I don't think anyone is crazy (if anything I think others will think I am). Every one thinks and feels things differently. Well ok there are crazy people but you know what I mean.
I know who I am.. to an extent. I just don't see myself in any specific category.
I also accept it to an extent there are just some things I do not like. For example dark spirits. I seem plagued by them sometimes. I also don't like it to be known to many people because where I live it is mostly Pentecostal Christians and things like this mean you are not special or gifted but possessed or crazy.
When I was younger I tried to enhance some of my abilities but it seemed the more I tried the more bad things would happen. So I quit and tried to block it all out but that is not working so much anymore and now these things are happening to my children and I want to know how to help them so they don't go through what I did.
I do believe in reincarnation. I haven't tried past life regression but I know I have at least one past life. I believe I have seen how I died and as a child I talked about being in limbo.
I will look into the solar flares.
Psychologist Elaine Aron's research on a temperament category she describes as the "highly sensitive person" (HSP) has been gaining increased attention in recent years, and giving many people a big "aha" moment. Could you be among the 15-20 percent of the population she believes make up this group? I've learned that I am, and finding this out has changed the way I look at...everything.
you might just be a highly sensitive person, equipped with a temperament that requires special skills and knowledge to deal with. As I'm learning more about how this trait works in my own life, I'm grateful that Aron does not pathologize it, but treats it as something that simply is. Even for people who are not HSPs, information on the topic can surely be useful to parents, teachers, partners, and co-workers who have an HSP among them.
