Sensitives are overwhelmed and affected by the energy of people, places and things.

A common question my clients ask is, “How can I not be affected by this person or situation?” You’ve probably thought this before.

Sometimes family members, your partner, coworkers, or even children, can have an energy that is overwhelming. It feels like the opposite of peace and calm.

These energies can create uncomfortable feelings in your body of hot or cold, sleepy or stimulating, mental or emotional, or even body pains and energetic ickiness. If you think about it, you can probably imagine how you’ve been uncomfortable with the energy of others daily.

There are reasons why you are affected by these external energies. As much as we’d like to believe “we’ve made it” and that “us enlightened people shouldn’t be affected by others,” we are affected.

Allowing our human nature to lead our lives can create messy situations, by motivating us to respond from emotional and mental triggers, or even from our preferences of what we think is best.

Our human nature may want to tell someone exactly how we feel. With our emotions running high, we can say or do things that we believe are right in the moment, but we just end up making the situation more difficult.

It’s human to feel uncomfortable around certain people or to do certain things, and because we feel uncomfortable, we think it’s a ‘sign’ that we shouldn’t be around them or do the uncomfortable things.

Discomfort is not an intuitive insight. Discomfort is independent from intuitive ‘hits’ and intuitive direction.

Your intuition simply accesses truth and knowledge of the Universe, therefore it embodies neutrality and is objective.

Is Intuition Genetic or Can It Be Learned?

Commonly people believe that intuition is genetic, meaning passed down through a lineage or that we are born with only one or two of the four main intuitive senses of seeing, hearing, feeling and knowing. Is this true or can we learn to fully open these four intuitive qualities?

My mother was always incredibly intuitive, not only knowing things before they happen, but knowing where missing objects were located with incredible precision. She also talked to spirit. Her main spirit guide’s name is Angelica and my mom shared with me that Angelica has been with her since the beginning of her life. My earliest childhood memories are of seeing spirit.

Is there a connection between my mother’s ability and mine? Yes, but not in the way you may think. The way our abilities are connected are simply because I was in the aura or energy of these abilities being used, so it actually programmed my subconscious mind from pre-birth that not only are these abilities real, but they are accessible. In this way, my abilities were nurtured. Though it is not genetic.
