Ask Mary Ann 519

Dear Mary Ann,  

I was able to hear you do an interview on “Coast to Coast AM”.  I am hoping you can give me some advice. I believe, do to multiple experiences, which I have been through, that I have some sensitive and empathic abilities. I can sense spirits and have known when people are ready to cross over.  My empath abilities need to be managed.  These things I believe affect my health.  I would like to develop these gifts, but I am afraid of opening the door to the paranormal.  How can I do this safely?  How can I maintain physical health while dealing with these gifts?   I believe we are given these gifts from God for a reason and that they should be developed and used for good. Thank you in advance for your comments.  

Sincerely,
 
Rebecca
 

 
 Hi Rebecca,
 
The definition of an empath from The Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary is one who psychically tunes into the emotional state of a person, group, animal, nature, or a nation; unconsciously or deliberately. For example, you may wake up in the middle of the night sensing disaster, feeling fear, anxiety and cold; then read the next morning that there was a hurricane in a cold climate and many people were hurt. Another example is a person who felt uneasy for three days before the president was shot and when it happened, the feeling left. 

After reading the definition, I think you really have to figure out if you are an empath, or an emotional psi or empathy clairsentirence. I am afraid that I would have no way of knowing this from an email. 

I do know that anyone of them can affect your health if you do not protect yourself. Doing any of the above is a huge energy drain that could leave you vulnerable for health problems or psychic attack. You really need to find a mentor in your area that can guide you in discover and enhance your abilities.

There is some information on my web site, www.maryannwinkowski.com <http://www.maryannwinkowski.com>  that might be helpful until you can find someone to help you. 

Good luck!  

Mary Ann

 
Letter 2

Hi Mary Ann,

My name is Asha, and I’m from Houston, Texas. I just read your book “When Ghosts Speak” and I was hoping you could help me. My boyfriend committed suicide right in front of me. That is when my friend offered me your book. Nothing odd has happened to make me believe he is earthbound. But, you say in your book that it is harder for the people that do commit suicide to cross over. I’m constantly talking to him, writing him messages on our dry erase board—-just looking for signs of him. I know you say if they do cross over, they will come to you in your dreams. Every night I hope to hear from him. I miss him so desperately and I have a feeling he has crossed over. I even tell him to and how to do it—-go to a funeral home where a service is in progress.

I know you’re a very busy woman, but if there’s any chance that you could call me and see if his earthbound presence is around me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Asha
 

Hi Asha,
 

I am so sad for you about your boyfriend’s suicide. Anytime is bad, but around the holidays makes it even worse.  

If he has crossed over, you are right, he will come to you in a dream, but it could take as long as two years before you get your dream. 

He has a little more to learn because of the way that he died, so it will not be soon. Just remember he had to have some sort of mental illness to have done this, and until he gets that in order, that will affect how long until he comes in a dream. 

If he has not crossed over, you are telling him exactly what he has to do to find the light. I am glad your friend gave you “When Ghosts Speak.” At least you had some direction to follow and some of your questions were answered. 

Take Care! 

Mary Ann
