Guys I am feeling on top of the world right now. But I have another question. Is is okay to feel close to an elemental spirit? Like I believe I can speak with the wind. Correct me If I'm wrong but I do spend time with the wind. And I know it sounds crazy and its really the element of Air but still. It's like a really old friend or a friend that became a love and then became an even better friend after you broke up. SO can it really happen or is it just figment of my imagination? Hanyways much the the ways of a wayward lover in the wind C~*Holly

I suppose in some respects, the question can be, can we be close to ourselves.
Each of us has an affinity toward one or two elements. Our spirit is more closly attuned to that element and thereby draws energy from it, through it and with it.
It would seem that you are sensing that conection with your spirit and the energy that feeds it and therefore you.

Hail, C**Holly, I do believe some of us, perhaps everyone, can have a closeness, or a connectedness, with one or more of the elements. I am always in a better mood, can think more clearly, feel more peaceful, etc. whenever I'm near large bodies of water- being near an ocean is the best place in the world for me. Or during a wonderful rain, especially with thunder and lightening. **Guess that includes fire and air in my connectedness** But, (and I wish I remembered where I read this) I read somewhere that there is a difference between being connected to elements as you describe, and actually calling an elemental spirit. Elemental spirits are a wonderful power booster to spells but are very difficult to get rid of once called, and can cause havoc in your life. It's more about how you believe, what you believe in, and how you practice what you believe that matters. Just my opinions....

If it works for you hun then its not your imagination...I have this thing with thunderstorms as many others do...I feel them coming before they reach me, then i get this emense amount of energy and i have to get out side and be at one with it, my whole body tingles and im in awre of it....The feeling as the wind rushes through me and winds itself round my very being.....I feel so bloody great afterwards....
Its not crazy Createholly its YOUR connection with the elements.....Enjoy it...

Whoa. I feel much better. I did use to have an affinity with thunderstorms, great bunches of them, but I've lost that power so I guess I have made a new friend with air. I feel good. Plus it is so uber nice outside I don't think I want the day to end. Thank you all.

Moonlit...I'm an Animistic as such I totally believe that ALL things have a spirit with in it. I also believe that it is possible to connect with that spirit and share in that experience of "being"
To go a step further...we craft magic by using the energy around us. The magic works because all things every where are made up of the energy. How we perceive our universe is only an expression of the energy. When I look at a tree I know that I am seeing an expression of the energy with an individual characteristic being emphasized hence the individual spirit within. When I connect with that spirit, I connect with the energy which is in essence what many perceive as god. I would say that's a pretty good reason for anyone to feel a special affinity to a tree.

Wow, it's great to know another person feels about this like I do. This tree will ALWAYS be really special to me and I miss it a lot when I cant be around it. Ever sence I was a small girl i would climb this tree and talk to it. I even named her Mrs. tree lol I always felt safe in her no matter how hard I climbed, and nomatter how much of a bad mood I was in she always calmed me down. This tree is practically like my family. I just wish i had her with me now.

Okay so lets say, you have this strange feeling when things are about to happen, or ppl are about to call, or you call hear the song that's in your friend's head when she's thinking it. Or when you let down your shields you can feel different emotions and see auras. And you touch ppl and you're assaulted by images and feelings. Solution=I've taken to wearign gloves Not good seeing as it is summer time But Is anyone else like this?? I've heard it may be the gifts of an empath?

Empathic abilities cover a wide range of abilities, including what you discribe. I think that what happens (at least in part) is that we connect with an individual energy stream. We may or may not know the individual from whom it flows, but we still connect. Through that connection, we gain some insight into what may be that individuals current or anticipated activity or thoughts.
