Psychic Abilities Options

Okay, so a lot of people on here have abilities of some sort or another. Empaths, telepaths, healers, psychics, many with Sight and other magical senses... my question is, do you think these abilities are something you need to be born with? It seems that most of these people have been able to See or whatever it is they do since they were very young. Can one develop these with practice? Is there anyone here who in fact *wasn't* born with an ability, but gained it through their own effort? Any thoughts or methods, throw them in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wizard.gif)

Let me tell you this.. in fact none of those people who "did" things since they were young.. other then those with "sensing" abillities(wether to see or feel or whatever it is) actually had any special ability to do anything out of the ordinary. Those are happy accidents which we all remmember. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) They can happan for manny varried reasons. So in conclusion only sensory wise we are all "open" to a certain degree, some more and some less.. without making an effort(or learning anything on the way to achieve those "abbilities", even though i would preffer calling them "tools"). Only superheroes in movies wake up one day with powers which they do not need to know anything about.. and still make them work... just by wishing for it. To actually improve someone's health or lessen the pain\injury extent(as in healing), to change an outcome of an event(without phisicaly working for it), to manipulate other people(without much in the way of interacting with them) and anything else you can list here.. there are specific things to be done.. techniques and exercises and understandings to be learned. No way around them sadly(as i keep finding out with each passing year hehe while trying to find faster and quicker ways for new people interested in the subject to get started) and wishfull thinking doesnt help much either. It is a very technical world we live in wether phisical or otherwise, all has its own set of facts and rulles and ways in which everything interacts with one another to create an outcome or to lead to one. Sadly its not as simple and fantastic as written in manny places, at least not as fantastic as some want it to be. (of course i do not mean to harm anyone's feelings by calling them "liers", because i am sure that for them it was very real and their only explanation of the "accident" is that they performed it even without having the proper expirience and tools to achieve the effect.. so do treat my opinion as an opinion only (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )

Now that we covered that, i can continue to the question part of your post. ^^
-Anyone can develop to a certain(!) extent any "tool" or "abillity"(if they are passive, and by your words i take it you meant the passive abbilities of course. Healing and anything that effects others around you not being included in this answer) with practice and the proper understanding of the process and elements that interact to create the desired effect.
-I do not recongise what you listed as "abillities" other then the sensory part. Saying that i cannot truthfully say that i was born without it. All of us have it open to a certain extent as i said before, and mine was quite open to begin with... which did help me to speed up things a bit on my own. But(!) no, you do not have to be born with an overactive sensory capability(regarding sensing energy of others and around you that is) and it can be "upgraded" so to speak with practice overtime.
-I have manny thoughts and methods to share, but there is no post long enough to list them all and not even 5 or 10 hours of just typing will be enough to finish hehe. Though you are more then welcome to address me in personal massage's and i will be very glad to share some of the begginers exercises to develop your energy work and energy sensitivity and basic understanding of the energy works within your body.(again sadly i cannot write everything down just like that.. if it helps to realise the trouble with that request i wrote about 60 articles about basic energy work in the israeli site me and a former student are running).

Best of luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
