Waking at 3? You may be clairvoyant

Dear Bonnie: I have seen spirits from a young age. I have been able to hear spirits occasionally since I was 8. Was I born with a gift? I hardly can get through a whole night’s sleep because I wake up at 3 almost nightly. Is this part of the package? How do I know exactly what kind of abilities I have? And how do I exercise them? Sorry for the multitude of questions. — Mercy

Dear Mercy: They are great questions and thank you for asking them!

A lot of people are born sensitive to the spirit world. I have seen the spirit world at an early age. The gift of seeing — when you can see people, objects and such — is called clairvoyance. Children usually can see the spirit world until the age of 7, when our analytical minds start working .

earing the spiritual world is called clairaudience, a clear hearing. You might hear voices, sounds, the music inside your mind or outside of your head.

Both are just two of the gifts called the clairs. Most people who have these gifts tell me their sleep is interrupted almost nightly and they wake at the hour of 3. The veil between the two worlds is at the thinnest at this time. We become sensitive to receiving information, and it wakes us up. This hour is called the spiritual hour.

The psychic abilities are there for everyone and can be strengthened by meditation, exercises and an awareness of what is going on around you every day.

For instance, if you want to build your spiritual hearing, start by listening — really listening — to the sounds around you, like the birds singing or children playing in the park. Picking up on all the small sounds going on around you will enhance your listening to subtle noises; this will build up your psychic listening, enabling you to listen to the spirit world.

This gift can be handed down through the generations as well.

Some psychic mediums tell me their moms and grandmothers were instrumental at helping them grow their gifts. If you do not have that option, find a good teacher or mentor who would be willing to work with you and help you to bring out the very best in your gifts. Find someone you trust and who has a genuine interest in helping you to grow your gifts to their full potential.

I also tell my students to read books and watch videos on the metaphysical world. Some instructions will connect with you, and others will not. Take what makes sense to you, and use your gut feeling to help lead the way while learning.
