Why Does My Intuition Keep Going to the Heavy Stuff? #262

If you've ever picked up on something heavy about a person or situation — a warning, a sense of dread, a warning dream — and wondered if opening up more might bring forward more messages like this, you'll want to tune in.

So many people in the early stages of developing their intuitive gifts notice that the heavy stuff seems to come through loudest. Maybe you sense something is off about someone before you can explain why. Maybe you are having cautionary dreams that leave you feeling stressed in the morning. Maybe every time you try to tune in, one of the first things that comes through is a  warning. It doesn't happen to everyone, but for those that it does happen to, it sometimes stops their development in its tracks for fear that it might end up causing more stress.

When you understand why it happens ~ you'll feel a lot of relief.  With some tweaking, you aren't destined to be a doom and gloom, fear-based reader or intuitive.  In this episode, Christina deconstructs what's happening in the background and how to see the full spectrum.

Consider this podcast your go to spiritual resource for navigating the modern world. Hey there, kindred spirits. Welcome to this episode of modern life and spirit podcast. It's me. Christina Wooten, certified psychic medium at SedonaMedium.com welcome. Thank you for being here. I know your spirit guides are happy that you are here as well always, as we continue to learn, grow and develop, you're raising your vibration, you're expanding out, you're raising the quality of your light energy in the world. So thank you for doing that, because that affects all of us in positive ways. How is your may starting out for you, I'm feeling a really positive shift of energy in May, thankfully, because I'm not feeling great energy coming in for the summer. Just in general, I feel like yucky, yucky time in June and July. Sorry to be the bearer of that. It's kind of appropriate, I suppose, with our topic today. But I'm glad that we have this reprieve in the month of May, where it's a little less intense and we have a little bit of time to refocus, Reorient, rebuild, recharge, reconnect, whatever you're feeling like you need to do anyway. This morning, I was sitting with my spirit guides and doing some development work. And I kind of think about this a little bit like it's getting a tune up with my spirit guides. You know you need tune ups to keep things running smoothly. And just before I started that work, I was hanging out and reading a book about the fox sisters. Now, if you're not familiar with the fox sisters, there were some really important events at the fox house in hydesville, New York, that is considered to be the Advent, the official beginning of modern spiritualism. And just very briefly, to give you a tiny little nugget of what I'm talking about. This was in 1848 and the Fox family, specifically, two young sisters, Kate and Maggie, started hearing mysterious knocking, and they were hearing like rapping sounds in their home, and rather than just running from it, which was definitely their instinct at the time, they did something different. They started communicating back. And they worked out a system with the NOx where there were yes or no answers. They would ask things like, How old am I? These intelligent questions which demonstrated that the answers would come back in intelligent ways, including around things that the sisters and the fox family didn't know anything about. That proved to be accurate. So they would have these series of wrappings or knocks that would answer these intelligent and also yes and no questions, and they made contact with what turned out to be the spirit of a peddler who had been unfortunately murdered and buried in the cellar of the house. And of course, as this begins to gain momentum, and they're bringing people in like, oh my gosh, I can't believe this is happening. You come in and see if it works for you too. They're bringing the neighbors and people from neighboring towns in to kind of test the intelligence of this being who was rapping back to them. And it really launched that spiritualist movement, the idea that the living could communicate with the dead, and that spirit could also make itself known through some of these more physical avenues, physical ways. I mean, that was mind blowing information at the time, so I was reading about this right before I sat down to do this connection work. And everything started off, you know, nice and normal, and then about midway through, I got into a deeper level of trance, and I heard the loudest bang on the wall or the roof. It was somewhere up high that I have ever heard. I mean, it was if something just took a tree and, like hit it on top. It was wild. And now, to be clear, I do this development work in my office where I do readings. I'm in my office all day, and never once, and I mean, not a single time do I hear any kind of bangs knocking how. False adjusting noises in that room, ever, and I mean ever, unless I'm doing development work, it's like, the moment that I sit down, the spirit gets all excited, and then I'll just hear like, usually it's little subtle sounds like a little no no. But this one was a just bang. It was really fascinating. And I was so impressed by that, of course, the ability for spirit to affect our environment in such profound ways, with that huge expression of energy, is amazing. But what it also made me think about was how jarring and how intense that must have been for this family when they're having loud sounds like bangings and knockings repeatedly, that it just makes it go from something that's very abstract to something that's like, Oh, that would be very jarring. It would certainly be something you were really concerned about anyway, it was a fun way to just connect with my guides earlier today. I always love when they do something new and express themselves in unique ways. It kind of wakes me up out of maybe complacency or out of, you know, what my expectations are. I I appreciate those awakenings. It helps me keep growing. Anyway. I have a lot of things that have been shifting and happening right now that I can't wait to share with you. I'm really, really, really looking forward to telling you about it, and the timing is really, really close, but as is life, I have a few things that I've got to finish first. But let me say, if you aren't on my mailing list and you want an update, I've got some things coming up that you are going to want to know about. I'm getting ready to start the communicating with your spirit guides online program and an in person mediumship class in the fall. So if you want more information, make sure you jump on so you can get the details. If you want to sign up, if you just want to learn more about what we're doing, I will be sharing more soon. Go to Sedona, medium.com, forward slash, mailing list to get on the mailing list. Okay, today we're going to be talking about, why does my intuition keep going to the heavy stuff? So something heavy comes through. Maybe it feels concerning. It feels a little bit scary, it feels heavy, or maybe even a little bit dark, and suddenly this fear or anxiety creeps in. You know, is this what development's going to be like for me? Am I just going to be picking up on negative things or bad things all the time? Is it going to be heavy? Is it going to be like a downer process? So this does happen to some people. And I, before we go any further, I do want to say clearly that this doesn't happen to everyone. Some people open up and the first thing that they're sensing are beautiful, uplifting, full of light. So if that's you, that's awesome, this episode is still going to give you some useful context. But for the people who maybe have prophetic dreams that are surrounding someone getting ready to pass, maybe you're getting a heads up about that happening. Or maybe you're sensing, oh, I think somebody is getting ready to cross over and that turns out to be true, or you're just picking up, oh, I think something very challenging is getting ready to happen to this person, or I need to watch out for this person, because something feels really off about them, right? So if you pick up a lot of maybe heavier or unsettling type of impressions, and you start to wonder, what's wrong, what is happening. Why am I not getting the full Love and Light package? Like, how do I get signed up for all of that? I want you to know that there's a really good explanation for what's going on. And this is not a preview for what your whole path is going to look like, okay, but it is telling you that something is going on. So the first piece of the puzzle. And this is going to resonate with a lot of you. Some people, especially those who deal with anxiety, are already wired to scan ahead. So your nervous system has been trained, whether by life experiences or just by the way that you are built, to look out for things to avoid. So you're going to be bracing always for what's coming, to spot the danger before it arrives. Anxiety. Its core is really this hyper vigilance. It's your system saying, let me find the problem before it finds me, so that I can be prepared, so I can turn it around. I can shift the energy. It's you trying to prepare. So when your intuition starts to open up, it follows the grooves that's already there. So it goes where your energy is already really fluent. So if your energy has been fluent in scanning for difficulty or looking ahead so that you can be. Prepared. That's where your early impressions are going to gravitate towards, and this is so important to understand, because it means that the heavy impressions, they're not coming from outside of you, attracting dark things into your field. They're, in a way, coming from inside of you, from your patterns, from awareness and how it already manifests for you. So your intuition is reading what your energy already knows how to read. It's going to the easiest way. First, it's the, you know, lowest fruit on the tree. I know this is going to sound strange, but this is really good news, because those patterns can shift. It all comes down to what you are focusing on. So here's the energetic piece. When we talk about psychic impressions, energy exists on a spectrum, and what we have a tendency to label negative or heavy energy things that contain fear or grief conflict, that have a little bit of a sense of dread to them. That is the densest form of that energy. It's the densest psychic impression. It has more weight to it. It is almost heavier, feels more solid psychically. So think about it this way, if you walk into a quiet room and someone whispers something soft and beautiful, you might catch it, or it might be easy to miss, because it's it's soft, it's very, very subtle. But if something very heavy falls on the floor, it makes a very loud sound, you're going to hear it every time, because it cuts through all the noise. It's got a weight to it. It's strong. It's got this sensory aspect to it that makes it a lot clearer. So that's what's happening with dense energy in early development. It's not that there's more negative energy surrounding you than the positive. It's just that heavy impressions are louder. They're just denser. They're easy to pick up on because it is closer to what we're used to physically here on the earth plane. So they have more energetic weight, and they register first before your awareness has had a chance to become sensitive to the lighter, to the more subtle, to the higher vibrational information that is absolutely there, surrounding you, waiting to be perceived. So you're not tuned to bad things. You're just picking up on the loudest signal that happens to be in the room. Now, as you continue your development, you open up to be able to perceive the whole spectrum of things. So the whole dial of psychic impressions begin to open up for you. But in the beginning, you're going to pick up on what's the easiest, quickest for you, and what happens for a lot of people is they feel the first heavy thing, and they start to sit with it and marinate on it and focus on that, and that gets them a bit distracted from picking up on the other information that is there. The good news is that sensing heavy energy early on in your development does not mean that you are destined to be a fear based reader. It means that your antenna is on, that things are working. It means something is happening, and that's actually where you really want to be. So the path forward isn't to shut it down or to try and skip past this part, or just decide maybe intuition really isn't for you, and kind of give in to that fear, anxiety that maybe you already have within the path forward is through it. There's no other way around it. You've got to go through it. You go through it with intention, with support, and with a couple of just practical ways of looking at this. So the first thing that you need to understand that's going to really help you, and it's going to seem really simple, because it is, but it's probably the most important thing that I say today, which is just keep going, Okay, do not stop when the heavy impression comes through and maybe it activates your fear response when that kicks in. That's not your cue to just close everything back down. That is your cue to stick with it, to keep raising your vibration, because the more that you work with your intuition, the more that your awareness expands. And as it expands, you stop perceiving just the dense end of the spectrum, and you start receiving the full picture. The goal has never been to just never sense difficult things, right the. Goal is to have access to all of the information so you can genuinely be useful to yourself and to others. And you get there by continuing, not by just stopping in your tracks at that first little hurdle. Now, the second thing that I think is really helpful is what I would call just flipping the coin. So when something heavy or challenging comes through when an impression comes through that feels like it's got that heaviness, that way you can feel the challenge in it. Don't just sit in it, you know, ask a follow up question. Ask, what's the positive side of this? What's the opportunity that's here? What is this showing me that I'm meant to work with? Every challenge has a flip side. So every heavy impression has something that it can teach you, that you can grow through, that you can work with. It's there's always a positive so think about the yin and yang within one thing is something entirely different. And when you practice asking that follow up question, two things happen. First, you start to get more information. So you're getting a richer, a fuller, more useful impression. And second, over time, you start to retrain your awareness to not just pick up on the heavy stuff along the way that's easiest for you to sense. You start to expand that spectrum of awareness, and you start to see and feel and experience the full picture instead of just defaulting to the heavy end, and that eventually will become your new normal. The more that you train yourself and the more that you work with that energy. So the heavy stuff coming through first, it's really just like a knock on the door. Okay, it gets your attention. Now you know it's there. Now you know what's happening, and now you have somewhere to go with it, so keep opening the door, keep raising your vibration, keep asking for the full picture, because what's waiting on the other side of this stage of your development is so much bigger and so much more beautiful than your own fear is going to let you see right now. So you've just got to keep going, keep moving forward, and expand that spectrum of understanding so that you begin to see all of the information that's available to you, not just the stuff that you're tuned to already. All right, thank you so much for joining me in this episode. I hope that it has been helpful for those of you who maybe have had those experiences before and it's brought up some stress, or maybe you've been nervous about going forward with more of your development. I'm also going to take this opportunity to just remind you that if you do want to develop in a more structured environment, with support, with access to my help during the process, make sure to hop onto our mailing list at SedonaMedium.com/mailinglist, because I'm almost ready to open the doors on something that is going to be just what you're looking for. All right, everyone looking forward to connecting with you soon, as always, many blessings. The
