Exploring Your Body’s ESP, by Ann Todhunter Brode

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

Many people haven't thought much about the connection between their body's sensory awareness and extra-sensory perception. They often consider ESP extra-ordinary and practiced only by adepts or psychics. But, it's actually available to anyone who pays attention to their inner senses. Although we're well acquainted with the external senses (sound, sight, taste, touch, and smell), the internal senses often get overlooked. In order to access your inner knowing, you'll need to become familiar with your inner senses. Let me introduce you.

Your body has four distinct sensory ways to relay information from the inside. Your vestibular system records balance and movement; proprioception registers position and location; nociception detects pain and discomfort; and interoception connects you with internal awareness and emotional feeling. Though all of the inner senses contribute to inner knowing, interoception is the direct link to what we classically think of as the sixth sense or extrasensory perception. For simplicity, let's just call this your body sense.

Because your body sense has been integral to your physical experience since the beginning, you may think of it as no big deal. But, when it comes to being intuitive, it is. Healers and sensitives have resourced their body's inner knowing for precognition, healing, and psychic ability for centuries. More recently, using imagining technology, researchers have tracked the relationship between internal sensory awareness and intuitive behavior. You may experience a bit of this when a hunch plays out or you think of someone just before they call. You may see it show up in an emotional situation, choosing to respond with your heart rather than your head. Even in a poker game, your body sense may be helping you "know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em." All of these could be just pure chance. But they could also be your ESP at work.

ESP has several different channels of communication. Depending on how they present, these are clairvoyance, clairaudience, claircognizance, and clairsentience. Clairvoyance, known as second sight, is the one with which you're probably most familiar. But, the other avenues for sensory perception are actually more common. Perhaps, getting a hunch is a kind of inner knowing or claircognizance. Intuiting the emotions of others could be clairsentience, and hearing an inner voice telling you lay down your cards could be an example of clairaudience. When reading the room modifies your delivery, you're definitely being clairsentient. To explore some of these avenues, all you need to do is listen in.

Listening in to your body sense is a good way to bolster your ESP potential. You can listen in while doing mundane tasks, letting go at the end of the day, or anytime you feel emotional. Listen in during romance. Listen in at work or play, Listen in when you exercise or meditate. Without judgement, observe what's going on. Notice how comfort/discomfort, agitation/calm, excitement, joy, and sorrow feel. As you listen in, observe how your body communicates. Often irrational, ridiculously literal, and rooted in imagery, metaphor, and symbol, body speak will require translation. For instance, when your body shuts down and clams up, it's saying no. When it's in the flow, so are you and all is okay. When you hear a story and you get goosebumps, pay attention. If phrases such as, "Got off on the wrong foot," "Do something half-heartedly," or, "A knee-jerk reaction" come to mind, perhaps you need to get balanced, be in touch, and calm down.

ESP Explorations:
You can have fun experimenting with your body sense. Just pose a simple yes-no question, turn inward, and pay attention to what you feel, hear, or sense. Here are some ways this might play out in real life:

• Listen to your heart. If you want to know if your heart is on board with any decision, bring your internal awareness to your heart center and ask. If the area gets compressed, blocked, or agitated, it's asking you reconsider. If it feels open and calm, the answer is yes.
• Listen to your gut. Placing a hand on your stomach, think about a project, relationship, or investment, and notice what happens. If you feel a tense, fluttering, or a sinking feeling, your intuition is saying be careful. If your belly feels soft and content, the answer is yes.
• Listen to your emotional body. If you're with someone, even a stranger, and your body gets a sudden hit of emotion, ask yourself if this is yours or not. If it's yours, it'll feel familiar and informative. If it's not, it's telling you something about the other person's emotional state.
• Listen to your inner voice. If you're mulling over a question, listen to the words that pop up. These can show up as random sayings, something overheard, or the lyrics of a song stuck in your head. Why not mine these words for meaning to get your answer?

Think how many times you've been told to listen to your heart or trust your gut or go with your feelings. Perhaps this is where ESP begins. To take it a step further, set a goal to pay attention to your inner wisdom and put it to use in everyday ways. Let it help you make decisions, fine tune communication, be self-aware, and change your mind. Don't be afraid to put it to the test. To start, let your body sense lead the way in the little things and evaluate the results. Like any work in progress, remember that you're learning as you go along. The more you use it, the more accurate it becomes. Putting it to use simply makes it get stronger. Pretty soon, you'll trust it as valued partner for the big things. When you align intuition with intention, you have a powerful combo.

Social distancing has given us time to slow down and pay attention close at home. Why not take some time and explore something old to find something new? All you have to do is direct your attention inward and be a curious observer. Exploring a bit of ESP is no longer fringy, esoteric stuff. It's literally part of who you are.

My life has been a mystical, wonderful journey. I have four children. My second born, a son, is often in my dreams. (I am a very lucid dreamer.) This son seems to be on a special spiritual journey with me to a higher existence. We help each other, and the trust we share is powerful. I have a great relationship with all my children, but this son seems to have a special purpose. My experience with him has been unusual from the start. For example, I was using birth control, yet I still conceived him. Why would this relationship seem so special and different? Any ideas you have would be appreciated! Thank you!

Sue

Dreamchaser:

I think what you are experiencing is more common than most parents admit. It is very politically correct to say, I love all my children equally, and they are all the same. Well, that is just not true. My children are completely different from one another, and I do not love them the same. I love my daughter for who and what she is, and I love my son for who and what he is. I love them both with all my heart, but my love is different for each person.

Your special relationship with your son has definitely grown from past life experiences. We have a soul family that we keep meeting over and over in different forms in THIS life. For example, my daughter in this life was my mother in a past life. This is very obvious at times. If she does not know where I am, she calls my cell phone and says, Where are you? Sometimes old relationships seep over into your relationships in this life. Because of all those past lives together, you and your son get along VERY well. You have a special bond with his soul. It does not mean he is your favorite, per se, but you do share more spiritual experiences with him than the others.

Sue, both my children were birth control babies. I firmly believe that if a soul is supposed to be here, it WILL get here. Your son came despite the birth control because he was supposed to be here. He is highly psychic and a strong empath. He has always been a very loving, caring and helpful soul.

He also has to learn his own lessons for his own soul. I feel strongly that your son is very close to Ascension. His soul is ready to stay on the Otherside instead of reincarnating here on earth. He is almost done learning everything that he has to learn. This is one of his last lives, if not the last. You are here to help each other. You are the one person on this planet who really understands him.

So, to wrap this all up in a pretty package, the reason this feels so special and different is because you and your son connect on a deeper level than you connect with any other person on this earth. You connect on a soul level. When we know someone at that deep level, it is always a unique and special bond. It is rare and hard to find. He is also a traveling companion while you are lucid dreaming, and that is a wonderful bond in and of itself.

I wish you and your son many happy adventures.

Astrea:

The most important people in our lives are almost always people that we have known and loved in other incarnations. Holy relationships exist for all Souls who return to the Earth Plane. Whether the one we love is a father, brother, lover, husband, son or friend, all key relationships teach us really important spiritual lessons.

You and your son have been very close ever since a lifetime you shared in Atlantis when you were twins. Side by side, you worked on biological and scientific discoveries with a special aim at linking biology to spirituality in human beings and animals. You were especially fond of working with sea creatures - dolphins most of all.

From that lifetime, you moved on to Egypt, China, India, Russia, Western Europe, and now here, in the present time. The two of you are never part of the Random, but always part of the Purpose. Your goals were set before you reincarnated together. This time, your partner chose to be your son so that you could experience that kind of love with one another. This bond may be the strongest connection either of you will ever feel.

In Celestial Incarnations, when Souls rest and rejuvenate, you and your son planned other lives for the future, selecting your locations, parents, lovers and friends. Planning what your own Purpose was going to be in each incarnation to come took many hundreds of years, though sometimes, your return to a new life on earth occurred soon after the end of your previous life.

The other children may or may not have been with you in other lifetimes, but you're correct: this is a different kind of enlightenment you share with this particular son. It's not that you love the others less, but it feels like SO MUCH MORE with him. Perhaps this is because you know and understand each other better than you know the other people in your family. You recognize each other's moods and feelings, and see things in one another that other people on the outside can't see.

Hopefully, this will help you on your own journey and show you how far true understanding and loving affection can take people when they have been together in many lifetimes. Your relationship will also serve as a wonderful example of what is possible. By setting a great example of closeness and understanding, your whole family will be guided into a deeper, closer, more meaningful union.

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
