First Welcome to Shadowlands..

Next.. sorry to hear of your dad's recent passing.. I understand
this aspect for my dad died of cancer in his lungs, liver and brain
on Nov 2, 2007.

So his death is still very fresh with me and yes like you
he came to me but in a dream.. I had talked to him about
his life and in away, I started to prepare his soul for its
journey.. He and I agreed that he would come to me in
a dream as he did on Dec 21, 2007 (winter Solstice) a
very big day for me Spiritually.. I am wiccan/pagan and
shamanistic ..

What I am sensing with you is that you are like me
in some ways for we both connect to animals and
are empathic to animals.. I am more empathic to
cats whereas you are like Deb and are linked to
dogs..

The visit you had with your dad and the page/cell phone
is called an ADC or after death communication. Your dad
knew he never said he loved you for that was like my
dad up to his last months of his life and he and I
were best friends and all the problems we had in
the past were gone. I was like you and I would
kiss my dead's head everytime I saw him even
as a 45 year adult. Dad was my friend and his
last days were very hard and I am still having some
issues with it myself.. I believe he was having
other medical issues besides cancer.. I actually
think he had parkinsons as my mom has it now..

The electrical impulse you spoke of at the time of
you dog passing was its soul leaving its body.. I
have witnessed this with some of my cats and
my sister told me the same thing with one of
her dogs that died in her arms.. So I understand..

As for wanting to learn more and more..
Deb is correct.. read and read and talk to
others and get intuned with like minded
others..

You are a sensitive and very Empathic too..

You mentioned about you hand and the skin
coming of your hand at 6.. Just a FYI.. your hand
will change its palm every 7 years so your
hand was actually just molting the dead skin
as it has happened to me too.. but mine was
due to getting wax on it and it heated my skin
and took a layer of the skin ..

If you want to you can go to my site or board
Magical Meanderings for I have lots of information
and you may like what you see..

Axreah,


I just wanted to let you know that I have given
you mod status on MM my board you apply membership too..

Yes, both the links Deb gave you are my board
Magical Meanderings..

You asked this..

How old was your "Dad"?

How old is your mother, has she been diagnosed with Parkinson's?

My dad just turned 83 on Halloween 2007, and he passed two days
later.. Thanks for the kind words.. My dad was a dentist for
over 50 years and married over 56 years to my mom..

Both my mom and dad have had their health issues over the last
5 years. My mom has broken both hips, had a section of stomach
removed from internal bleedings, she has osteroporisis, scholiosis
and was just diagnosed with Parkinsons last year before my dad
passed. Currently my mom is sick with pneumonia but is getting
medical care and nursing care at assited living facility. My mom
is a very strong woman after raising 7 kids.. I am number 6.

My dad health started to detriote over the last 5 years from
a blood clot in his left leg that was about 13 inches long
to having a pacemake put in him, to having multiply legs
and hips problems stemming from being on his feet for all
his life and having a medical problem as a child with leg
braces on his legs. In the last year of his life, dad was
having issues with memory, inapropriate behavior and loosing
his abilty to walk and having his lower section of his
body, legs not working and was diagnosed with Peripheral neuropathy,
(in its most common form, causes pain and numbness in your hands and feet.
The pain typically is described as tingling or burning, while the loss of
sensation often is compared to the feeling of wearing a thin stocking or glove.)

My family was found out my dad had cancer a month before he
died. I had told my family he had cancer several years ago
from my spiritual journes over him and when I did a body
scan on him too..



Next you asked..

What does it exactly me to be Empathic to animals?
Does this mean we feel their feeilings or that we
just know what they are feeling?

Clairsentient, sometimes called "Empathic", intuitively feels people and/or things.

Empathy (from the Greek εμπάθεια,to make suffer) is commonly defined as one's ability
to recognize, perceive and directly experientially feel the emotion of another.
As the states of mind, beliefs, and desires of others are intertwined with their
emotions, one with empathy for another may often be able to more effectively define
another's mood. Empathy is often characterized as the ability to "put oneself into
another's shoes", or experiencing the outlook or emotions of another being within
oneself, a sort of emotional resonance.

definition from here..
http://wiki.wiccanweb.ca/index.php?title=Empathy


In reference to animals, an empathic person to animals is a person
who seems to have animals come to them and seek help or just are
close to that person. A person may take the personal intuitive feelings
of the various animals they may come in contact with and associate
with them. Some people are empathic to other humans and animals..
This is what I am and others here too.. I am sensing that you are
empathic to both insects, animals and some humans.. You often
place yourself in other shoes and allow their problems to engulf
you at time..




Next you asked...

Also, what is the difference (if there is one) between a sensitive and an empathic?
Would you consider me just an animal empathic? How can I use and develope this gift?
Can I become an empathic with humans? Am I making sense?

Good question..
A highly sensitive person (HSP) is a person having the innate trait of high
sensitivity (or innate sensitiveness as Carl Gustav Jung originally coined it).
According to Elaine N. Aron and colleagues as well as other researchers, highly
sensitive people, which would represent about a fifth of the population, process
sensory data much more deeply and thoroughly due to a biological difference in
their nervous systems.[1] This is a specific trait with key consequences that in
the past has often been confused with innate shyness, inhibitedness, innate fearfulness,
introversion, and so on. [2] The existence of the trait of innate sensitivity was
demonstrated using a test that was shown to have both internal and external validity.[3]
Although the term is primarily used to describe humans, the trait is present in nearly
all higher animals.




And I mentioned what empathic means..
So what does all this mean?
Both term seem to be used with each other in the same sentenced.
It may help to see what the other possible terminology uses to
discuss the various degrees of being unique or gifted..

Here are some other possible gifts that may or may
not be listed but I am familiar with and may have too..




A clairvoyant has intuitive knowledge of people and things.

**Clairvoyance (from 17th century French with clair meaning "clear"
and voyance meaning "seeing") is the purported ability to gain
information about an object, location or physical event through
means other than the known human senses,[1][2] a form of extra-sensory
perception. A person said to have the ability of clairvoyance
is referred to as a clairvoyant ("one who sees clear").




Other related terms
The words "clairvoyance" and "psychic" are often used to refer to many
different kinds of paranormal sensory experiences, but there are more
specific names:

Clairsentient, sometimes called "Empathic", intuitively feels people and/or things.

**Clairsentience (feeling/touching)
In the field of parapsychology, clairsentience [From the French clair, "clear,"
+ sentience, "feeling," ultimately derived from the Latin clarus, "clear,"
+ sentiens, derived from sentire, "to feel"] is a form of extra-sensory
perception wherein a person acquires psychic knowledge primarily by means
of feeling.[12] In addition to parapsychology, the term also plays a role
in some religions. For example: clairsentience is one of the six human
special functions mentioned or recorded in Buddhism. It is an ability that
can be obtained at advanced meditation level. Generally the term refers to
a person who can feel the vibration of other people. There are many different
degrees of clairsentience ranging from the perception of diseases of other
people to the thoughts or emotions of other people. The ability differs
from third eye in that this kind of ability can not have a vivid picture
in the mind. Instead, a very vivid feeling can form.

**Psychometry is related to clairsentience. The word stems from
psyche and metric, which means "to measure with the mind".




A clairaudio is intuitively hearing that which is not audio.

**Clairaudience (hearing/listening)
In the field of parapsychology, clairaudience [from late 17th century French
clair (clear) & audience (hearing)] is a form of extra-sensory perception
wherein a person acquires information by paranormal auditory means.
It is often considered to be a form of clairvoyance.[13] Clairaudience
is essentially the ability to hear in a paranormal manner, as opposed to
paranormal seeing (clairvoyance) and feeling (clairsentience). Clairaudient
people have psi-mediated hearing. Clairaudience may refer not to actual
perception of sound, but may instead indicate impressions of the "inner
mental ear" similar to the way many people think words without having
auditory impressions. But it may also refer to actual perception of sounds
such as voices, tones, or noises which are not apparent to other humans or
to recording equipment. For instance, a clairaudient person might claim to
hear the voices or thoughts of the spirits of persons who are deceased.
Clairaudience may be positively distinguished from the voices heard by
the mentally ill when it reveals information unavailable to the
clairaudient person by normal means (including cold reading or other
magic tricks), and thus may be termed "psychic" or paranormal.




Clairessence is intuitively smelling that which is not present.

**Clairalience (smelling)
In the field of parapsychology, clairalience [presumably from late 17th
century French clair (clear) & alience (smelling)] is a form of extra-sensory
perception wherein a person acquires psychic knowledge primarily by
means of smelling.[14]




**Claircognizance (knowing)
In the field of parapsychology, claircognizance [presumably from late 17th
century French clair (clear) & cognizance (< ME cognisaunce < OFr conoissance,
knowledge)] is a form of extra-sensory perception wherein a person acquires
psychic knowledge primarily by means of intrinsic knowledge. It is the ability
to know something without knowing how or why you know it.




**Clairgustance (tasting)
In the field of parapsychology, clairgustance is defined as a form of extra-sensory
perception that allegedly allows one to taste a substance without putting anything
in one's mouth. It is claimed that those who possess this ability are able to perceive
the essence of a substance from the spiritual or ethereal realms through taste.




Medium/Channeler moves themselves out of the way and allows others to communicate through them.

Telepathic is a person who is able to understand others thoughts or feelings?





Psychometry** I do not have this gift but was read by a shaman who did have this gift!!
Psychometry (Greek: ψυχή, psukhē, "spirit, soul"; + μέτρον, metron, "measure")
is a form of extra-sensory perception in which a psychic is said to be able to obtain
information about an individual through paranormal means by making physical contact with
an object that belongs to them. In recent years, the term has been superseded in favor of
"token-object reading" so as to avoid potential confusion with the psychological term, "psychometry".




Precognitive the ability to know or sense the future.

Precognition (from the Latin præ-, "prior to," + cognitio, "a getting to know")
denotes a form of extra-sensory perception where in a person is said to perceive
information about places or events through paranormal means before they happen.[1][2]
A related term, presentiment, refers to information about future events which is said
to be perceived as emotions. These terms are considered by some to be special cases
of the more general term clairvoyance.



Automatic writing is the process, or product, of writing material that does
not come from the conscious thoughts of the writer. The writer's hand forms
the message, and the person is unaware of what will be written. It is sometimes
done in a trance state. Other times the writer is aware (not in a trance) of
their surroundings but not of the actions of their writing hand.



Postcognitive the ability to know past life events.
Retrocognition (also known as postcognition), from the Latin retro meaning
"backward, behind" and cognition meaning "knowing", is the alleged paranormal
transfer of information about an event or object in the past. A person said to
possess retrocognition can see into the past (see Psi). [1]

Frederic Myers coined the term. [1] Psychometry and past life regression are types of retrocognition.

Retrocognition is different from clairvoyance in that information is said to be
gained from an object or event in the past, not from a contemporary event or object.



The term psychokinesis (from the Greek ψυχή, "psyche", meaning mind, soul, or
breath; and κίνησις, "kinesis", meaning motion; literally "movement from the mind"),
[1][2] also known as telekinesis[3] (Greek τῆλε + κίνησις, literally "distant-movement"),
sometimes abbreviated PK and TK respectively, denotes the purported ability
of the mind to influence matter, time, space, or energy by means outside
the currently known laws of physics.[4] It has been called the most powerful
of psychic powers, essentially the power of a god.[5] Examples of psychokinesis
could include distorting or moving an object,[6] or influencing the output of
a random number generator.[4][7][8] The existence of such powers has never been
documented in a rigorous scientific setting. The study of phenomena said to be
psychokinetic is an aspect of parapsychology



Telepathy, from the Greek τελε, tele meaning "distant" and πάθεια,
patheia meaning "to be affected by",[2] describes the purported transfer
of information on thoughts or feelings between individuals by means
other than the five classical senses

I found a good link with some questions you are asking..
http://kinhost.org/wiki/Crisses/GettingAFeelForEmpathy


I would consider you as a sensitive and emaphtic person to animals,
insects and humans.. By you feeling others emotions such as from
animals you have already started to utilize your empathic ability
with your family and friends and others.

Development of these gifts comes from many aspects and experiences over
a period of years. One can start with simple tasks of just utilizing
your personal energy to help others. In helping others and assisiting
them with personal issues you become more empathic for you tend to
put oneself in the same situation and than work out what is best
for that person.. In all aspects of being a sensitive or having
these special gifts can and does seem to come to one when they
least expect it. Most people just are like this for they have
shown the ability from the past, present and future.

One can learn from books, movies, and other persons as a mentor
or teacher. Many times, the simplest aspect of the person is
in its celluar memory which some call the source of the DNA
and or RNA which has certain key elements part of them.

For me celluar memory would be how some people have natural
atheletic ability, musical abilities, psychic ability and
other innate abilities.. Anything can be learned but the
message is not what to learn but how to learn it and when
to use it where this come wisdom.
