Hello everyone!
I joined this forum to help network a little bit, and I have a free moment to introduce myself a tad-bit

Well, originally, I'm from a small town in West Central WI in the Ellsworth, Plum City, Spring Valley area. At about the age of 14 I moved
to Eau Claire, WI... and I consider that my home, though currently, I have lived in the Twin Cities for about the last 3 years (I'm now
turning 26 in August).
At a very young age... basically as far back as I can remember, I have been gifted. At about the age of about 2, I remember seeing the old guy that use to live in the townhouse that my mother, sister and I occupied... at the age of 3 I can remember seeing trolls, fae type
creatures, and having premonitions... at about the age of 7 or 8 I can remember feeling how different people in my family felt emotionally... sometimes even physically (the reason this one stands out so much is that my sister was getting 'scolded' for something and I could feel the physical and emotional pain of it)... Shortly there after, I noticed that I could hear some peoples thoughts... and at about the age of 12... everything came shattering down... I could hear everything that everyone was thinking in about a mile radius (not just a few select people)... I could feel everything that everyone in about that 1 mile radius was feeling... and I then decided after a few days that I needed to do something... and I received 'schematics' on how to shield myself... and I shielded, and I shielded, and I shielded some more until it was to the point to where I didn't hear everyone (though if I concentrated on someone I could sometimes hear them), I couldn't feel everyone (again, if I concentrated, I could usually feel how someone else was feeling)... and on an energetic level... others couldn't see me.
Finally, at about the age of 18 1/2, I started working with a person that was very open about the psychic world... and she soon there after had met my boyfriend at the time and noticed that he was an open telepath and told him so. After a few weeks of her talking with him about this stuff... with me sitting there... though, never talking to me about me having any of these gifts... I confronted her and asked her why she didn't talk to me, or see the same things with me... etc. She looked at me with a confused look on her face... and she said "Well, energetically... you pretty much look... well, dead." I then started telling her about my childhood, and the precog that I still had, etc... and we decided, after a LOT of thought... to take down my shielding (and let me tell you... after you have Fort Nox built on around you for a few years... it hurts taking it down... a LOT!).
Soon there after, I started to explore my gift senses again, with the aid of my group of friends. After getting things 'resituated' I started
learning more fun and new things, and shared my experience with others... and eventually, I started to help teach classes on Psychic
Awareness, Shielding, etc, etc, etc.
Now, today... I help to run a group called Psinergy. We have a website at
http://www.psinergy.info/, and primarily we help to give a safe place for newly open individuals to explore there gifts, share experiences, experiment... and above all, create a positive influence within these people to help them to come to realize that the gifts that they have been given are things that they need to be
responsable with. We also help to facilitate an Esoteric Awareness to help in aiding in land-healing, energetic stability (you can check out more under Esoteric Alerts! on our website).
Well, I think that about does it... if you wanna know more... either check out the website... or feel free to IM me =o) I'm online a lot...
Have a GREAT day!
