Ascension for me has been an interesting and painful road.  I don't match the usual symptoms except for maybe 2 or 3.  An interesting development of the years has been my ability to feel the psychic energy of the elements.  Earth, air, fire, water, spirit, I feel them.  It's like something off of tv, you know, shows that feature witches claiming to be in tune with the elements and such.  Weird stuff but nice.  I can feel the life force of plants and animals.  I feel it running through the Earth.  Sometimes I think I'm imagining this stuff, then I go outside and feel the energy of a breeze and I'm reminded that I'm not.  And then there is my increased immunity.  I don't claim to be immune to everything because I haven't been exposed to every disease.  But since about age 17 or 18, I haven't been sick.  And as a child, I had walking pneumonia and the germ that causes tuberculosis.  I've had colds and a really bad case of the flu once but now, nothing.  Well, nothing so far.

I'm not a hands on healer, but I think I may have the ability to put healing energy into what I create with my hands.  As a knitter and person that crochets, I can feel my energy in what I've created.  It's a very positive, strong energy.  I'm thinking it can be used to help people.  So it's not hands on, more like distance healing if I were to make something for someone.  Then there is the pain.  My own negative emotions cause me psychic pain which translates to the physical level.  That's a difficult situation to deal with because sadness, anger, etc. is part of the human experience.  Then there is the pain I get from others.

I don't know what it is exactly, but as far as I can tell, I feel pain because their energy level is lower than mine.  It tears at my heart and solar plexus the most.  I've tried every shielding technique I can find and none of them work fully.  I always feel some degree of pain.  But then there are those small few I encounter whose energy feels really good.  Due to an interesting experience I had with a co-worker, I'm starting to think telepathic communication may be possible with people on my level.

Food.  I can tell what's organic and what isn't simply through taste and smell.  The food that isn't causes me pain.  The food that is feels good, life-giving.  If I were to eat meat, I can feel the pain that the animal endured.  And believe it or not, animals can comprehend the idea of death.  Other psychic abilities have grown.  Clairaudience and clairvoyance as well as claircognizance, and that one in particular has always been my rarest.  I could go on, but I can't.  This post will become far too long.  I have years of experience to draw on.  So crew, any of you not matching the assumed ascension symptoms but ascending anyway?
