There are a lot of phoney mediums/psychics and Shamens out there so it is wise to be able to keep a skeptical but open mind. When that happened to me, I never accepted it so my "qhuas neeb" left me alone, yet I still felt a stronger force and pull still wanting to reach out to me from time to time. I keep switching it off and blocking it out. I don't want to become a Shawoman/psychic so I tell myself that it could just be my mind and conscious going out of sync and making me lose grasp of reality only. I was told from a Cambodian psychic woman that I have an ancient soul. I believe it could be true too, yet I call myself a psycho all the time because I don't want to get "sick" like that again and what I experienced was not pleasant and nice, yet it renewed my faith and made my spirit only the more stronger. But I think I am just a demonic child that needs to get her head examined because I'm too stubborn and careless.
So I live and go on with my life to the best I can only. People have judged and wrongly hate but I still don't care. But good for you that you accepted it. There are great and powerful Shawomen/Niam Neebs out there.
