Psi Aspect to Sensitivity?

Hello, with Halloween just past I thought I'd share something fairly intriguing and ask for reaction.

Might there be a link between environmental sensitivity, emotional sensitivity, and psi sensitivity (e.g., apparitional perceptions)? I've surveyed a group of 62 self-described 'sensitive' people and contrasted their responses with a group of 50 controls. The differences are striking. The sensitive group is much more likely to be female, a first born or only child, ambidextrous, introverted, and recollect childhood trauma. They report the following types of conditions in far greater number: migraine headache, longstanding allergy, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, depression, nightmares, even synesthesia (overlapping senses, like feeling a sound or tasting a shape). And the sensitive group is 3.5 times more likely to apparitional experiences - not to mention being sensitive to electricity, both of which seem to go hand in hand.

I've published two papers highlighting these findings. You can find them at http://cogprints.org/4738/ and http://cogprints.org/4846/. An article on my research was also featured in the Sep/Oct issue of Spirituality & Health. Elaine Aron herself has corresponded with me and encouraged me to post something.

I'd like to raise the possibility that anomalous ('psi') perception might constitute a legitimate aspect of extraordinary sensitivity. Presumably, as with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, there are definite pathways in the body and brain that make this so. I suspect we have a lot to learn about being human, hence my desire to share these results. The conversations I've had with sensitive people so far have been fascinating.

Please note: I hold all information in confidence. While I've begun to share my findings with mainstream scientists (who have generally been open-minded and encouraging), all the survey data are aggregated and no individuals' real names are ever used.

Thanks for getting back to me via the Listserv.

I am ES and have some rather interesting dream like states - I awake from
what I would term a normal dream as I awake I start to see through my eyes and
image of water shimmering, this then clears and an image forms I try my best
to hang onto it and focus, ussulaly only lasts say 60 secs before I loose it.
I have had 5-6 of these in last 2 yrs so not many what is consistent is the
shimmering water effect that I see that then clears to give way to an image.

My Mother passed away last yr, a few days later I had 2 such events. The
most interesting one was seeing a jewerlery box appear, just the lid, I
instantly recognised this and when I got out of bed to look at it later, it shows a
chinese/japanese picture of a woman 3/4 of way over a bridge going from one
small island to another with a place/temple on it this island being more grand
than the small on, the lady was holding a green light which was same as
light in palace ! to me that represented a sign, the transition from life to
afterlife ? This was so specific I do not consider it to be a random event !

Its almost a remote veiw, very strange,,,,,,

Hello,

your observations are quite right, although many ES people are a bit ashamed
to talk about it.

I can recommend the book *The Field* by Lynne McTaggart.

One person I have heard about that died from being struck by electricity and lived to tell about it says there is an electric body. It may be that when we die we move from the physical back to an energy form. And being electrically sensitive we can percieve and misperceive this universe in our dream states, usually just before waking. I hear all kinds of stuff just before waking up. Be glad that it is pleasant dreams and not the scary kind. I've had both.

from Phyllicia:

I am more sensitive than most people have ever known. I have
learned to use it instead of trying to overcome it. For me now it
is very pleasant to be me, sensitivity and all. I must respond to
this characterization of sensitive people. The only thing that
correlates for me on this list is that I have a photographic memory
as well as a phonographic memory...which has allowed me to remember
past trauma, childhood included with amazing detail. I am able to
remember selective past events in full color, words spoken, feelings
totally recalled, and location of the people involved.
 
I have used that to actually heal all my childhood trauma. None of
the other things listed on the following list applies to me in any
way. I would be interested to learn if I am an exception.

Best regards,
Phyllicia
