Turned on, then turned off

[Shadow_Blinky]

Last year I went through a lot of heavy personal tragedies. In the midst of it all, certain senses turned on for me. I became very aware of a lot of things I shouldn’t know. For example, I woke up suddenly at 12:35 am one night, then went back to sleep. Woke up feeling loss. Phone call that morning confirmed my grandmother died overnight… at 12:35am.

Just one of a dozen examples. I embraced these “hunches” and feelings and all of them proved right. I was aware of when I was being discussed for big opportunities… or when bad stuff went down. It was clear as anything has ever been clear for me.

Then recently… no. It just sort of turned off. I haven’t had ANY of this stuff in a couple of months now.

Perhaps the challenging personal time heightened things for me? And now that some things are balancing back out I’ve lost it? Does this make sense?

It does make sense, and can also be turned back on and exercised. In my experience most people are in one of two camps: top-down or bottom-up. You sound like you’re likely in the bottom-up category. To me, that means most of your consciousness on all levels is spent within the body and physical realms of being.

When a bottom-up person goes through acute stress it can cause what psychologists would call dissociation. Dissociation happens to most people as it’s part of the body’s natural coping skills to moderate painful experiences. Most people who are at least moderately well adjusted will have short periods of dissociation during acute stress, after which they regulate and heal.

Some bottom-up people will simply feel disconnected during times of dissociation. They may have experiences that feel out-of-body, but not necessarily in a way that feels psychic or includes outside information coming in (like in the case of your grandmother passing).

Sounds like your heightened stress period exposed you to latent abilities. You can absolutely learn how to access those things from the more balanced place you are now. It’s just going to take more intentional practice and direction rather than waiting/hoping a new event just shows up.

This is actually very normal. You have psychic abilities. They turn off and on. I am not sure why this happens, but it has happened to me too. Try meditating and asking for it to return. Sometimes that works for me. Sometimes I just go through dry periods and I have to be patient.

I’ve felt that there may be a method to letting things happen as they will yet there’s still that intention missing. I feel that the most happens when there is an immediate dire need yet some people might be in need for a long time so setting intention like the other guy said is indeed important. The intention begins with the need and things get rolling and when in much stress intuition takes over and knows more about what’s needed. Perhaps my intention wheels need greasing with balance of allowing things to happen as they will as well. To say to be the one to step forward more
