I have perhaps an uncommon dilemma - I want to "shut down" my psychic stuff. Not block, not meditate to clear my head - I want the extreme intuition and empathy and precognition to stop altogether.

I feel like that is not possible as it is not something I consciously do, so I feel like I cannot control it, and it has been a presence in my life since I was young.

But... sometimes it is just too much - feeling everything so deeply and knowing others' thoughts etc. has made things difficult for me as of late and I am kind of over it.

Of course, then I try to ignore thoughts I have, i.e. "bring this with you today" - I will say "NO, I never need it or bring it with me so why do it today?" only to find myself cursing my earlier rejection of the notion...

that is just one example - I don't want to ignore or block these things, I just want them to stop.

Has anyone has this issue before? Or do you have any advice? I would deeply appreciate it.

Have you asked the Universe (god, God, Buddha, Allah, goddess, angels...) to grant your wish?

Try it. I think it's the most powerful thing you can do, ask for help.

not sure why you would want to lose these gifts
to me my gifts where the greatest thing i have recieved they just got stronger in a sense this year etc
can not wait tobecome more psychic like i fore saw
i been having trouble with mine as well but am trying my best top work through it myself (EDIT: inflammatory comment)
i can not even look for more readings on my baby picture to get more insight on it like i am needing without people posting negative stuff on my forum
but i did get a handful of good readings that where what i was looking for
but time is expiring for me to do that
things are suppossed to start materilizing sept and after had dreams also indicating this
so i guess it all does not really matter anymore
glad i got the little handful of help i did get

In the past I have made a list of only those abilities which I want to keep - it worked for me.

Maybe you could ask for a moderate amount of intuition for the time being, and back it up with affirmations. Then focus on other aspects of your life, and ignore as much as you can, if it starts to seep through. Also, avoid watching and reading anything to do with the paranormal, as that can be a trigger.

Read books which dispel psychic ability, and visit skeptic forums lol.

You could try two different approaches to affirmations either something along the lines of:-

"I am no longer psychic".

Or if you are happy with being intuitive, you could say to yourself (or possibly even others). "I am an intuitive person", and just leave it at that, ignoring psychic episodes etc, as I said above.

Hey guys, thank you so much for your help!! It is deeply appreciated

I was kind of having a bad few days when I posted this - I am in a new work environment that sometimes makes me feel really uncomfortable because of all the intense vibes I feel - and it can make it hard to focus on my own stuff, so to speak!

But - there obviously are upsides as well, so I am going to have to think about what exactly has been bothering me, etc.

Thanks again for your wise insight guys, I appreciate it... xx

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.

Hi - i'm only new to the boards so I hope you don't mind my replying to you. I was going through something similar a couple of months ago triggered by psychic overload in the work environment. I contacted a more experienced psychic who lives nearby and she advised to ask my guides to only provide me with essential information for the time being until I am in a better space to cope. That seems to have worked okay for me but when I try to shut off completely, I get a sensation of pressure in my head until I stop blocking and let it back through.

Also, I went through a difficult time with psychic overload as a teenager and had to completely switch off. It never seemed to turn off completely but instead felt like soft little mutterings in the background which could sort of be ignored by like background traffic noises. Funny thing was, even though I 'ignored' it for 20 years, I must have used it everyday to tell me about situations, people and which direction to go in without consciously acknowledging that was what I was doing.

Hello savannah... welcome to the forum.

I like your answer.

Thanks Victoria! It's really lovely to be here and the opportunity to talk to other people about all this is fantastic.
