Are you psychic or psychotic? 5 signs you are not going mad
I get this. I really do. I mean who can sound sane when telling others they can see things, hear things, know things or feel things from someone or something else that cannot be seen? It can seem like pure madness.
Though really, it’s how it’s framed. Frame it up one way, you are mad, frame it up another way and you’re gifted with the ability to connect with source (or universe, however you would like to dress it up). Here is the quote that got me thinking about this (via PsychCentral).
“People who hear voices and see things that aren’t there can be classified into two groups. The first group are people who cannot cope with these voices and are called mentally ill. The second group are people who can cope with the voices and are called psychic. It is my personal belief that being psychic and being psychotic are the same thing depending upon how you cope with it. Society in general regards people who talk to God as holy. But society in general regards people whom God talks to as insane.”
It was this last sentence that really struck a chord with me. I had never thought about it like this. That itself sounds insane! How can it be a one way street? We all get intuitive hits/nudges that we can’t explain. Some of us are in tune with this, others not, and others yet again might notice synchronicities but dismiss them. These are messages or guidance from that something bigger, nudging you in the right direction. AKA you are being “talked to” and guided.
I receive guidance on a daily basis and with permission, I receive guidance for others when doing readings. And I sure as hell know I’m not mad. In fact, since making the decision to tune in and listen on a daily basis, I’ve never felt better. I’m clearer, I make decisions easier and feel so much more supported knowing that Universe has got my back. So if you are intuitive and maybe question whether what you see, hear, think or feel is real, the following 5 signs might give you comfort that your intuition is spirit guidance and you’re not going mad.
High pitched ringing in your ears. For me, it was my right ear and this was the very first sign that came through for me. Ringing in your ears can be a sign that you are up-leveling with spirit connection as you become more sensitive to energy. Further down the track, it can mean your spirit team is trying to get a message through to you. Having said this, be sure to have yourself checked medically to ensure there is no medical explanation or condition causing ringing in your ears.
Songs! OMG I hear so many songs on a daily basis. Often, I hear them on waking and then throughout the day. And no these aren’t songs that I’ve heard on the radio (I don’t listen to the radio), they are songs that just start playing in my head. The message in some part of the lyrics. So if you are hearing songs in the real world or in your head, this is a sure sign your spirit team is trying to get a message to you.
Visions. Yep, do you see things in your mind’s eye? When I have quiet time in the morning and do my connection with universe I am shown things. If you ask your spirit team for guidance on a situation they may show you through visuals. It’s like a movie screen in your mind’s eye.
Hearing voices. Okay so this one sounds the maddest when said out loud, but we all have quiet conversations with ourselves right? The ego likes to be super negative and fearful, so we don’t want to be listening to that voice, but the quieter voice, the inner voice, the one that seems to kind of whisper and is more in the background, is our spirit team talking to us, providing guidance. My clairaudience (clear hearing) seems louder and stronger when I’m on the move telling me what to do and when, over when I’m sitting still.
Feeling uneasy? This is clairsentience - clear feeling. For no explanation whatsoever, you may just feel that something is not quite right, and you feel uneasy about a decision or something you are planning on doing. This is something to be listened to! It’s universe or your spirit team trying to get a message to you.
So really, I don’t think it’s fair to say if you receive intuitive hits, which is guidance wrapped up by that something bigger than us, that you are going mad or insane. You might be one of those people like me, that copes well with receiving messages from Spirit, and are much happier for it.
