Feeling tired?

[nessa11]

Lately I've been struggling at practicing mediumship. During the times I begin to practice my mediumship again, I've noticed during the same week I'm practicing I feel less capable to focus on other things throughout the day, like for example working/or my artwork.

It's almost as if practicing being a medium makes me too tired to focus on other things in the day? I can't figure out why that would be, and I was wondering if anyone had any input on my situation?

Thanks :)

It could be because you're not grounding and protecting yourself. If you take a minute and read: http://www.rescuemediums.com/groundi...protection.php it explains it quite well

Cool article :) I skimmed through it and what stuck out to me was using the hematite, I just happened to have some on my desk that I use, so I'll start using the hematite for the grounding from now on.

I also found using the hematite with the crown chakra meditation is kind of cool! Thanks

I fully agree with Jenny Crow. Grounding and Protection is essential for when you do any type of divination. As you have found out--even crystals can help ground you and also protect you. There are many ways to ground and protect yourself though, so you may want to find a few different options and see which one works best for you.

I ground and protect myself daily now, pretty much out of habit, as I do a lot of readings pretty much every day. But, even if I don't have any readings to do--its still a part of my daily routine. I'd recommend finding a few different ways of doing this and seeing which one you like the best.

When I first started interacting with spirits, I was so consumed by that I did not WANT to focus on anything else. I felt like anything else encroached on what I wanted to center all my attention on.

One thing I learned about interacting with spirits is that telepathy can actually dehydrate you if you aren't careful. Its important to stay hydrated. I used to be completely hooked on those 5-hour energy shots and I wasn't drinking enough water. Many of the spirits I was interacting with said they had visions of me dying of cardiac arrest. That was all it took for me to wean myself off them cold turkey. You also need to learn to tune spirits out somewhat throughout the day so you can recharge your batteries. I know! Difficult.......but necessary. I used to get so drained I was making mistakes that could have gotten me fired from my last job or got me into a car accident while I was driving. They'll understand.

One last thing........they carry the same emotions we do on earth. You can also easily absorb their emotions. Its also key to learn to shield yourself so you can peripherally feel their emotions to have an understanding of how they feel........without allowing them to overwhelm you.

I understand the protecting part because that's basically shielding.........but what does it mean to "ground" yourself?

Disregard my last post. I glanced at the article. I get it now.
