Channeling – ability to communicate with non-physical energies, such as ‘masters’, angels, guides and other world beings. Also see Medium below.

Empath – ability to sense and/or feel others emotions, or residual emotions. For those empaths who are untrained, the emotions can feel like their own ad can be confusing. Public places and/or large crowds can be overwhelming. Shielding exercise can help.

The number of empaths on planet Earth are on the rise, and are usually coupled with one or more other abilities.

Empath

Far-See – ability to see far into the possible future (or past). This is closely related to the Probability ability.

Both abilities rely on the ability to foresee the most likely outcome based on the current energy patterns.

Far-See example: While driving, one can catch glimpses of the houses, buildings, landscape, etc. in the far future (or distant past).

Probability example: knowing what is going to happen shortly, based on the current energy patterns (closely related to Precognitive).

The Truck Stops Here

Healer – a very broad category. Healings can come in as many ways as the healers, themselves, develop. A word of caution to new healers: please never take others ailments into your own body.

Often beginner healers may start to see patterns during daily interactions. Friends and acquaintances may appear to feel better, cheerier, more up-beat or energetic when around you.

Some healers pray to heal. There are also: laying on of hands; visualization; manipulation of energy; auric healing (working on re-balancing the aura); chakra healers (re-balancing the seven primary physical energy vortices on the human body); Reiki, and much more.

Medium – ability to communicate with those who have crossed over (deceased). It can be getting messages from a deceased loved one or strangers. The links for Mediums is listed at the end of this category.

Mental Medium – A conduit – or channeler – of one who can hear, sense, feel or know messages from those beyond the physical. This can be ghosts (those whose physical bodies died, but the being did not cross over in to the Light. Also known as Earthbounds).

Spiritual Medium (channeler) – One who can hear, see, know or feel spirits (for my purposes, a spirit is a person/being whose physical body died and they did cross over into the Light and are no longer attached the Earth duality energies/emotions). Also guides and other non-physical beings.

Physical Medium – There are two schools of thought on this one. An older description is the medium is a conduit for physical manifestations to occur, such as table-tipping, rapping, etc.

A more modern take, and what I feel is accurate, is that a physical medium is on who can physically feel the ghost/earthbounds death or death state. The medium feels the pain, fear, illness, etc. in their own body.

Trance Medium – Pushing aside one’s own consciousness and energy to allow a non-physical being to step in and take over the medium’s body and communicate through the medium.

Please note: Speaking for myself, I feel this method is dangerous. Energetically speaking, it mimic’s a possession. I do not do this, and I leave my “body occupied” sign on at all times.

Automatic Writing – Partial possession where the hand or hands are taken over and used to write messages.
