I can normally sense them, the same way I can feel any living thing. I feel what can only be described as an outline, or just the general location, and also a vague impression. this gets stronger as I let down my walls, but I tend not to risk doing that.

I was simply looking for a way to share my world with a few good friends that can't do what I can. Not some trick or trying to show off, just trying to give them the smallest glimpse.

I know what you mean. I'm not trying to force anything, (unless you consider trying to keep my self in under control forcing), I'm just looking for a way to help them understand

Well, it really depends on the people themselves. Unfortunately theres not a ritual or anything that flips on a light switch in a person to see or feel ghosts.

It takes a good bit of work to even start feeling more than just the hair on the back of your neck to stand up.

If the people themselves really, really believe in the supernatural, your gift, and the world just out of sight of our own. Then thats the first step to unlocking their own gift.

However, if somewhere within them they adhere to "ghosts or Gods don't exist theres no scientific proof to it" then they're essentially crippling themselves.

The best you can really do, is get them to start meditating, have them start reading books to help find their own path, and let them make their way.

You can show them the door, but you can't open it for them.

I alway find it to be such a pity when I find a strong talent and they've walled it off entirely. sometimes I can convince them, more often I can but they don't know how to take down their walls.

It doesn't help that I'm completely lost when it comes to my own standing.
I don't really know what I am, how I know the things I do, or why I can do them.

You don't have to prove anything to anyone. Be content with knowing that you possess an amazing gift. Please only focus your gift on love and positivity. If you yourself do not completely understand what you have then you shouldn't be sharing it with others; especially in a place such as you described. God only knows what types of entities or energies exist there and people could get hurt.

I would like to suggest that you read a book called "Psychic Development for Beginners" by William Hewitt. That doesn't mean that you are a beginner, it is a great guide for understanding and harnessing your abilities. It will teach you all sorts of ways to get in touch with your higher self, guides, do meditation, visualization, healing and yes, seeing ghosts/spirits.

Like Sr. Hugo stated, it is a very rare thing indeed to actually see a spirit. Most sensitives feel, hear, smell or "see" them with their Third Eye Chakra, but it's not like Ghost Whisperer where they will just come walking into your room and start talking to you, or like SH said, the movie "The Sixth Sense." That's Hollywood and not the real world.

I think you should just forget the whole idea to be honest. I don't think anything good could possibly come of this. There is no point. If you think some of your friends may have abilities like you have, that is their business if they choose to develop them or deny them. You can't force anything on anyone, just like I'm sure no one can force anything on you. All you can do is make suggestions and offer to share your own experiences if they are interested. This is not something to be taken lightly, it is very serious and special and I hope you are aware of that. Even though to some degree everyone has some type of psychic/empathic/sensitive ability, it doesn't mean that everyone is meant to develop and use it.

Oh, and by "dark and scary," I meant Satanic. It all just sounds ungood (I know that is not a word) to me. No offense Satanists, I know real Satanism is not what I'm talking about, but it is what is commonly believed, I hope you know what I mean.

Dear Unwilling Immortal,

After reading your posts and others' replies, I just wanted to reply quickly. Ok. It sounds to me as if you have conflicting feelings or motivation for wanting to enhance your psychic perceptions to help your friends see ghosts. You mentioned that you are hanging on to your sanity by a thread because of your psychic sensitivity. You said your soul has been fragmented, you are tormented by a piece of your soul, and quote "I don't really know what I am, how I know the things I do, or why I can do them."

I hope I am not misunderstanding you or taking your comments out of context. That being said, maybe you ought not to go ghost hunting for a while. Maybe you ought to take time to heal yourself first. Why continue to put your physical and mental health at risk? If you feel uncertain about yourself and your abilities, then why continue on this path? From outside the situation, it looks like you are hurting yourself. If the fire burns, don't stick your hand in it. Know what I mean? I know it's none of my business what you do or how you live your life.

In my experiences as a sensitive, I used to push myself beyond safe limits just to see what I could do. It really hurt me. So I decided that I wasn't going to do that anymore. I have nothing to prove to myself or others. I don't need to make other people see things or believe me. I don't need to go to the big bad scary places to prove I can do it. My mental health is way more important.

Please think about it. That's all. Best wishes to you.

Amy

I looking for a way to "wake up" latent spirits in a location. I know they're there, but they're they are not quite in line with our plane. I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I already know one trick for it, but it's a little dangerous to use without a circle, but I want mobility for this.

Do only with good intent. Try EVP.

I don't think this poster is on here anymore but I just have to respond to his last post as quoted above.

Healing (unless it is a terminal disease) is always an option. However, you have to want to heal, therefore I am interpreting your post as saying "I don't want to heal, or worse, I am afraid to heal because I am more comfortable being in pain because pain is all I know. That pain I'm speaking about can be mental, physical, spiritual or a combination of all or any of the above stated.

We only live with what we choose to live with. Each of us has been given the gift of free will. Therefore we can choose to change our lives for the better, the worse or do nothing at all. It seems the poster has chosen to do nothing at all except maintain the status quo, no matter the pain involved; again for fear of the unknown. Why do people fear happiness?

Quite some time, that is relative. I take it you are a teenager? That is only a snippet of your life so far. There is plenty of time to grow and change. Keep a positive outlook and life will get better. Life is not always easy or fun, but the bad times make us appreciate the good ones that much more. Savour every minute becuase every experience gives us a chance to learn and grow. When you are 25 you will see things in a different light. At 30, you will gain even more wisdom and so on and so on and so on. I am 44 and learn something new about life, myself and others every single day and I cherish those moments. Never give up and think you are stuck. You are only stuck if you choose to be.

Not making a decision is making a decision. It's the decision to remain stagnant. That is no way to live. If you are still in school, either high school or college, it may be a good idea to seek out a person to speak to. At best your life will improve for the better, at worst it will stay the same, which is were the poster seems most comfortable.

I've recently been through a very dark period. I actually wanted to die. Yes folks, I did. But I awoke Sunday morning and something had changed. I made it through and realized a very important lesson. Life can be difficult at times, but it can also be the most precious gift and I hope I never get that low again that I think being dead would be better.

As others have stated, don't worry about your friends and what they can and cannot do, what they are capable of, worry about yourself and get yourself together. You will see that everything will fall into place when you are right with you.
