The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

i have always wondered have you know you have a power. but did not know your power, was there someting you did to find your hidden talents? if so please share

Now that's a good question.

As I recall, I felt restless and investigated pretty well all the major religions and some pretty obscure ones too.

Settled on Spiritualism, and found my 'power' there.

what kind of power are we talking about.. ? mind power ..i would say i dont have any thing like magick power but as a strong mind when i set forth on doing some thing i concider the power to get it done tell its completed..

Aye, what kind of power are we talking about here?
Inner Power to me represents...Knwoing yourself and putting it to your advantage.

honestly any power , thats why left it your power:)

I have found my power within myself and just by Meditating every night and looking inward. I have always had the ability to read others well but always put it off to facial expressions and body expressions.

I think everyone has a power in them just incase armageddon Decide's to come along O.o
Just a thought :)

Its a pure power.

I think I was kind of lucky, I grew up in a family where gifts, powers and alternative lifestyles abounded. My aunt is a well-known witch over here who has worked in both the black and white sides of the arts (lol I was going to say "force" then!) and still does. My mother runs sessions for getting in touch with your spirit guides and spiritual healing. So I've known about it the majority of my life and just kind of fell into it. That doesn't mean I do it a lot though. I spend a lot of my time trying to deny it all.

I found out completely by accident (pardon the pun) that I am a healer, vie laying on of hands.

I do not consider what I have to be a power but more of a gift. I have always known about it but have realized recently that the more it is used the better I get.

I find my power by keeping in mind my objectives and by gaining confidence through experience.hope that is of some use,

"Power" is the simple manifestation of an already existing talent. You work with what you have and hone it into a blade and it becomes your power. Everyone has ability of some kind, talent of some sort. It's just whether they pay attention and choose to make it their power.

If by talent, you mean like being able to see spirits and stuff like that, I just started seeing things as I was growing up and no matter what anybody else said, I still believed that I saw something and wouldn't let other's tell me differently. Over time, I just accepted what I was and stopped believing what others' were telling me and I just started to "strengthen" my power of sight by acknowledging that I could see what I was seeing and started exercising my "power" by seeking out places that are known to have spiritual activity to see all different kinds of spirits. If you could please clarify a bit on what kind of power you are referring to, I could give you a btter answer from my point of view. Carpe Noctem

We all have a power some of us just have to work harder at discovering it.
I have multiple gifts but one that was apparent to me at an early age was an ability to sense people's energy better than most intuitive people.

When I was a child I had many instances when I felt or a better word might be knew (precognition) what was happening to people. I could feel what they felt, even feel their passing if they had just died.... When I was young this gift (as I see it now) would scare me.. Now, I think of it a communication of sorts... I just have to listen.

sometimes it takes something tragic in your life to open you up to it. sometimes its just a feeling you might have, and sometimes its just plain curiosity that causes you to research and discover it through the path of learning about it first. every one has the ability to learn and then apply and you might be more adept at one more than others. its a learning process no matter what the "power" is

I was, quite simply, born with the actual historic "Dark Gift" by which others (females) are truly "awakened" and that was later vilified by our enemies as "vampiric." Mine was the first and still only such to have been scientifically documented at a major university and published in a professional scientific journal.

in my family we have the mark of the witch

and well... ya kind grow into your powers and realize more as you get older

I have found my power, well one ov them through being able to feel if the person is good or a fake, i get this real weird feeling ov doom i guess you could say..Also when i became a Satanist, i found my power..The power in which to make me better and stronger than i am already..

hrm many talents were chipped away to be exposed over the course of a lifetime...
somethings i had hints of.. empathic skills, intuition .. the felt need to search... the spirituality that came to be .. with that came an Urge to heal.. which is where my focus has been for some years.
whether inperson or distance, i've found it to be the strongest power I have exposed.

I think we should all master the normal senses we were born with, as they are gifts too.

For me finding my power took me a while, at school I found I had very accurate recall, at home while playing Halo Gears of War, God of war, I found intense concentration and determenation, and in the "ring" I found that I had I power I don't like to use, my strength wich is fueled by rage.

Statement:

Power is neither a gift nor a device. In fact, the "power" that is claimed by most is, indeed, not power at all. In this sense, most would call it a "gift," but actually it is not this either. To be a gift, it would have to have been bestowed upon a person by another (that being another person or "entity") and this is not the case.

To steal a line from the Holy Bible, God spoke and stated that he is also known as, "I Am," it is the same thing. It is an essence, an energy that binds us all together in the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. It is the manipulation of this invisible "force" that I believe is the topic of discussion.

Power if false and can be stripped. Gifts can be taken away as easily given. However, for something to always be there is not something that can be forcibly removed or retaken.

I was born with many gifts. A talent for healing and a sense of the balance of the earth are the two that have become my primary focus.

As to how I came to them, I have no real idea. They've pretty much just always been there, just waiting for teh right time to make their usefulness known.

i found mine powers through meditations. If you have powers just sit in a relaxing meditation and your powers will guide you to them.

People view "power" as a tool.

People view "gifts" as uniqueness.

I will not deny that what some people have is special, but cannot agree that it is "power" or a "gift." Certain characteristics bend individuals toward a certain perspective, however in the end everyone is capable of all things.

The sooner it is realized that what some of us use is not "power" or a "gift," but is indeed just ourselves, the better.

Ah, what dreams may come to those of whom look for arcane knowledge. As this is a valuable tool for such discoveries.

If you believe yourself to have natural abilities that are of ethereal grasp, they will come to you in time. Patiance is a virtue.

I am definately interested in this thread and also wondering if anyone knows of a way to, hmm...how do I put it, enhance they're power? No, not enhance. I feel that I have a bit of premonition but its not predicitable. Is there any way to practice, I guess is what i'm asking.

I started out with restless energy and unable to focus upon anything. As I learned to relax my mind and let go of my spirit the answers started to come to me. Little coincidences occurred such as finding the right person to talk to or a book falling in to my hands *literally* while in a book shop.

Over time I have learnt to develop my mind and allow it to grow. But belief in myself and who I am was the most important thing I had to learn.

I've never known my true power but I do have talents like drawing and singing that were brought out and tested by experiment and a little teaching but there isn't anything like self teaching.

I think that if you have a power you are going to know when the time is right

There are ways to practice and hone your abilities...As well as gain them.

Just close your eyes and imagine 7 balloons of the seven colors of the rainbow...Red, blue, yellow, green, indigo, violet, and orange. Imagine these colors one at a time, until you can see them clearly as well as the color of them clearly.

Now imagine each one fo these balloons flying into the air and out of sight.

Next is to imagine a set of stairs, either ascending or descending, it is your choice...Imagine yourself walking up or down these stairs to the door at the top or bottom. Once you enter the door, imagine a color of light (your choice on the color) engulfing you...Then open your eyes and rest your mind.

As simple as that...Practice this every day for at least 10 minutes a day. Take as long as you would like until you start...Seeing things in a differant perspective shall we say.

Go with the flow- is my motto.

ny of family traditions and ways my bring ones power out if on is looking for it.

There are things about the human body, which can and should be trained to have heightened perceptions and such so that to work the higher forms of the art becomes easier. Your body is a muscle, a machine, you must train it, get the muscles to remember how it is to behave under certain circumstance.

What others call a gift from god, or power, is just an outreach in perception and your own development. The need to pass it off as something as fragile as a gift, or as intangible as power is the human way to cop out of responsibility for it. If you train to have it, if your blood sweat and soul went into expanding your perceptions then you will have what you need to survive. You can meditate till the end of time, you can recite spell after spell till the cows come home. However you will need to spend the needed time in all aspects of your life if you want to have any form of expanded perception, to develop what it is in you that you would be.

Power is within ourselves. Going to a Spiritualist Church, learning off of my Wicca teacher, reading, going to seminors. I have found many doors open for me, and through these doors I have learnt how to heal, read tarot, and truly open the doors to manifest the change within me, to bring change within myself and to learn.

I think AmbivalentNature makes a good point when he speaks of power/gifts.

Language can often hinder rather than help.

So perhaps finding your power, also means remembering what is yours to build upon and keep forever....that which is deep within you, something that we all have.

I personally think that everyone has powers, but most of the time people do not train their powers and they are lost, so i think that if anyone even thinks that they have a special gift start training it now or you will regret it later...

I can have premonitions, about small things, but they haven't came to me in years, and I did nothing to provoke it, they just happended to me when I was younger

I did research, practiced different things and meditated on it. Then one day ... power.

medatation was the key, rest and finding out how to focus the right way.

I think you grow into your ablities such as with me I grew into being able to speak with ghosts but I payed a price.

I was a young boy when i first realised that there was something different about me. I was running in a school even and as i was losing i wished to be faster. I ran so fast i almost fell over.

Since then I have investigated and tried many different forms of magick and witchcraft until I found chaos magick. Once i found that, I realised that this was where my power lied. I would never go back.

Mener

my power is mymind and I feel it came to me from things and experiences I have had in my life. Which has made my mind stronger and the power of thought is much stronger also.

Personally, it was just a matter of finally listening to myself and what an inner voice was trying to tell me.

I always knew I could read people incredibly well and feel what they feel, with out expressing words. It was just alwasy inside me.

i think that everyone has a power
but i found mine by reading something on a website and then practiced it..turned out it was easyer to me than other people
i have a good eyesight for drawings, i have an eye for detail, so i read about auras and i can see auras when i concentrate, even the color of it when i concentrate for a while...without blinking...or it ruins it XP

some people will never know the power they have because they have never been prompted to use it. I did face the fact that I could heal until I was faced with people I wanted to heal. Most people need a catalist to raze them to that next level other wise to power stays domant.

I always knew i was different but i really didn't realize that I was empathic until about 5 years ago, I always knew that I was telepathic though!

I have a power.. but i dont know what it exactly is... when i touch things.. i get a feeling.. i found this out.. when i was little.. and they had those sodas with the get a free soda cap.. and i would feel the caps.. and i would get a felling... and i would get that soda.. and it would be the wining cap thingy.. ive been testing my powers at school too.. and for the most part... there working....does anyone know what exactly it is?... and my mom says im a witch.. i am a witch.. but she also says im an energy vampire.. my friends say they get tired around me.. LOL

Meditating would be a good way unlock powers you might have and never felt before. Your greatest ability would always come to you naturally. Mine did. Also a psyhic would be able to tell you what lurks within you.

My healing and empathic skills were always there, looking back, but my soon to be ex husband had everything in me supressed for so long, that when I left him, it seemed the skills were VERY acute

I just started noticing it. Too many coinsidenses I guess. :)

I think with time and when you are ready ... your powers will reveal themselves to you.

In my experience my powers came to me when it was time for me to have them, at a time when i needed them most. i was born a witch i inherited it from my grandmother but i didnt start getting my powers til after i hit puberty.

Your natural power is usually you have always done so easily. Lets say you have a probability power before you know you have it this might have happened to you: every time you near a red light it turns green, you play poker and always have the hardest to get hand, you take big risks and come out victorious. Later you learn you can control the realm of probability.

i had a dream i was told i would "sence emotions in a circle." not too long after the dream, i started to feel other's emoitions, and physical pain. before this i would hands- on- heal others and some dogs. i just tried to do it and it worked. friends remin me about healings i have done on thier dogs and how it helped. i also see auras. i just practiced.

freewriting, journalling, observing and recording your dreams and paying attention to any significant symbolic things in your life usually all help. reading tarot cards can also be helpful.

The power of prayer is what works for me. Miracles do happen. Explained and unexplained.

To find your inner Power
Meditation is Key
Also Shamanic Journey's.
seeing spirits, being a healer, empath etc.... are not Power. They are called gifts, talents or ability.

I think that most people i.e. vampires, lycans, demons etc....know that they have power, but the un-awakened or the ones in awakening are unaware, or finding out what their power is.

I agree with what most people are saying. Meditation is one of the ways to find that out

I have been told that I have healing hands. =)

i have some kind of power that when i touch a person i fell like i just touched a socket, after you let go you would be full of energy. that a good power to have i guess.

They will find you.

I agree they will find you........

Random events, particularly during childhood are usually the start of a personal realization of hidden abilities.

Well said Glen,I agree that is how they seem to manifest.

Well my power came with age then I suppressed it, but now I he regained it through meditation. Now it has flourished into something that is wonder full.

I agree *Nachtwanderer meditation will bring us in tune with our hiigher self... enhancing our gifts-powers..

I find it to be more of a gift than a power also. Look within & you shall come to realize yours...

Nope blessed with nothing but common sence lol though in this day and age I'm beinging to consider it a great power indeed

As well as eating meat for strong body, that well eating fresh vegges, for a fresh mind.

Besides that, I eat meditation, where it leads you, to all things extraterrestrial, and powerfull.

i agree with Ashtrid on this.
i believe a person has to be completely honest about themselves to themselves to be able to advance in an area of 'power'
that's extremely hard
i have a way of intuitively knowing what will happen. not all the time and only when i am completely at peace with myself and what i've done and who i am
i'm not in that state of mind all the time
i think that's why a lot of intuition comes about in dreams, because we are more honest and true with ourselves there

I have many powers. the one that was more apparent was that I was able to have coversations with animals. I learned that ability becuse of being raised in a house filled with them.

Personally, I have notice some powers that I always have had, and others have developed with time.

I have always had my gifts. I was born with them. Just like the rest of my family.

i have my own just like everyone else hos theirs although you dont understand just how unique it is until you challenge yourslef.

well my gift is alot different from most peoples, i have many, i change the gift i train each day. one day it will be mind jumping, then blocking it at higher range then the next day i will do one of my other gifts in the same way, after i know i can do one thing with my gifts i change how i train it.

I think people have gifts, talents and special abilities, may they be physical or cognitive. However, I don't think people have powers. If I met a witch who said "I'm going to cast a spell" I would blow it off.

A friend had read my palm and told me I have powers. She could not tell me what they are just that i have them. We are trying to figure them out

a friend read tea leaves, for a friend of mine so he would know

I would be that friend that reads Tea leaves , and well I just started seeing what I was capable of, and reading leaves comes easy to as talking and understanding animals.

I never eally had to look for my power in the first place. I was pretty much born with some talent, and my Father encouraged my exploration, He being into the Edgar Cayce stuff pretty heavy, along with reading such books as Psychic Discoveries Behind The Iron Curtain.

I was helped along by my Father in various areas, Him always not only allowing me the freedom to explore, but also making sure I was safe, and secure in doing so.

I have abilities with animals, and at times with people to the point of knowing what a stranger is going to do from one moment to the next, or knowing something that was going to occure the next day.

I guess I don't really think about it. It has always been a part of my life, and didn't seem like anything special.

When I was younger I started realizing I could play with fire. I didn't totally understand it, and realized all too quickly that if I didn't watch it...Things would go up in flames...no lie.

It wasn't easy at first, but I learned. Now I tend to let out the frustration on lighters when smoking. It's much easier that way.

for me it just kinda presented itself to me

Things I can do. I do them. It takes me a while to relise that other people cant do it. then i know its a power. then im careful not to abuse my gift.

Alot of my powers or gifts presented themselves during traumatic events. Plus, I always felt that I was different from a very young age. When I started studying elemental and natural magics is when my psionic powers started showing up alot more. Since, then I have been working on honing them to a very keen edge.

i know i have powers and i know they are strong but no i havent tapped into them yet i dont fully know how to or what i am capable of and until one fully believes one can not use thier powers

some form of power is within us all, some of us just never fully grasp or understand it. I find that power of the mind and the power of being one with my inner peace was the gift given to me at birth.

I'm good at knowing and communcating with shadow people I didnt know i tought i was loseing my mind till someone explined it to me.

I have no idea if this is a power, but I have saved a family's lives TWICE because of my crazy sniffer....(it was our neighbors), I smelt smoke from my house coming from theirs and they didn't even smell it!

i ually see thing in dreams and can get pretty much things in full detail weather it be a future ervent or past and also read feeling

i know that i have those weird ass dreams that usually end up coming true to a T

I discovered my power(s) through wonder and research. I thought it odd that I could tell how people felt, could understand what was going through there mind by looking in there eyes and being able to cheer up an entire room of not so happy people. So I read books, looked over the internet and inquired to others what they thought.
