Katybug, try not to be concerned about what other people think about your spiritual affairs, whether it's family or friends or whoever. Most 'ordinary' people don't believe in spirits, and religious people may think you are evil or worshiping the devil or Lucifer. It's really absurd how everyone has forgotten who they really are. I suspect we are the laughing stock of the galaxy. If anything, just keep it secretive, or better yet - surround yourself with people who have such abilities or interests like you.

It's not a gift, you weren't given a gift, ALL humans have potential psychic powers, we ALL have the psychic anatomy, including the chakras, the subtle bodies, the un-activated star tetrahedron, the dormant merkaba, the many sacred geometries all around our bodes, but most don't remember this ancient wisdom. Psychic powers can be trained if one doesn't possess it already activated. And, you can improve your psychic abilities. One can remain ordinary, or become extraordinary. If you are able to channel naturally, it means you have a spiritual heritage from your past lives. That's why some people are already born with certain abilities activated, because they have past life experience.

There is no need to fear, you are a divine sacred being, you have power over malevolent spirits if you just realize it. Also, you are not just limited to channeling the dead. You can also channel gods and goddesses, saints, angels, demons, fairies, nature spirits, the Arabian djinn, the Vedic devas, the Jewish dybbuks, the Buddhist dakini, the Greek nymphs, there's mermaids, aliens / extraterrestrials, ghosts, there's the*Sanskrit nagas, the Afro-American orishas, the Haitian Vodou lwa or mysteres, there's Elves, dragons, sprites, sylphs, muses, sirens. All have calling cards. In my own experience, I have also channeled different things, such as crystals, flowers, herbs, trees, resins, even candles. The possibilities are only limited to your intent and imagination. In reality, we all channel in one form or another, even if we don't realize it. Spirit is interacting with us on many levels. Everything is consciousness, everything is spirit, it is the nature of reality, so even some ordinary rock has consciousness, even a beer can on the street is alive.

Regarding protection, establish a sacred space in your home and use spiritual tools like real incense resins (not fake chemical sticks from China) such as Frankincense, which has the properties to protect, as well as cleanse. Or, use smudges like Sage, which smells wonderful. Just do your homework, research and you will discover that there are many ways to cleanse and protect. Cleansing and protection is an important aspect to channeling. You can also ask for protection from your angels, spirit guardians, and spirit guides. They love you. They can help you, heal you, protect you, teach you. The most important advice, remember nothing can actually harm you. You are a divine being. Within this realization, you can't have fear. Fear is FOOD for negative spirits. They want it, they thrive off it, so don't give it to them. Be fearless. Also, you attract what you think. Be mindful of the energies you create, as well as the others who live in your house.
