For most of my life I have been naturally empathic and claircognizant. A friend turned me on to tarot cards as a way to sort of call up my claircognizant abilities instead of just waiting around for spontaneous flashes of insight, and that has worked for me for many years.
For the past few years I have suffered from a sleep disorder that has affected my migraines adversely and I have been on several medications to try to treat both disorders. I feel like the medications may be at fault for my current problem, but I'm not entirely sure. For the past few years I am no longer 'feeling' the truth. I can still do a reading using tarot cards, and I am told I'm quite accurate, but I no longer 'know' I'm right and have to wait for someone to tell me I am. It's affecting my confidence and it's not good considering that I have made my living doing readings for several years now due to my illnesses making it difficult to hold a regular job. I now live in a rural area where there aren't any jobs and I am in no position to go looking for a new line of work.
I need to find out why my abilities seem to be numbed, and what I can do to get back to normal. Since it always came naturally I don't really know how to go about developing or nurturing it, and I'm baffled as to what to do. Not taking my pills isn't really an option as I was not getting REM sleep and was having daily migraines because of it. :(

Re: re-developing?
Thu, March 27, 2008 - 12:56 PMI think getting less sun will help. Sometimes sheets over the windows isn't enough. Try to get solar paper over any cheap windows. The sun and the moon are interesting but there seems to be more rest if you can keep them outside. That is my experience. -

Re: re-developing?
Fri, March 28, 2008 - 12:59 AMWell, this was starting to happen before we moved to Hawaii, so I don't think that is the problem. And years ago, in Florida, I had no problem with it . For months I was 'asleep' but not really fully asleep, since I wasn't reaching the REM state, that is where the problem is, and that is why I get the headaches. It doesn't really have anything to do with the light. Without drugs, I could 'sleep' for 15 hours and still be exhausted because I would not reach the REM state. When they first gave me something to get to sleep, I remembered a dream for the first time in several years!
I know it's related to the sleep problem and the drugs, but I can't do without the medications because the migraines are sheer agony, and the lack of sleep was making me completely unable to function.
Has anyone else dealt with sleep disorders or fibromyalgia successfully? Are there certain drugs that are less likely to disrupt your psychic self?
