Hello Patricia,

You had a near-death experience. One of the characteristics is that when people come out of the experience, they often have heightened psychic and mediumistic abilities. You had that.

However, the mind of a child is still developing. A child, up until around age 12 or 13, has a different characterisic brain wave pattern. The child is in more of an alpha state, which is the state people are in when they meditate. That's why children are so creative, and it's why poltergeists or mischevious ghosts can have an influence on children or manifest around children. As you grew older, your psychic ability wasn't encouraged, so you outgrew it as you left that childhood state of mind. We don't know whether you could regain it, but if you practice by meditating every day, faithfully, and being open to messages if they come, you might find you can get it back. But we don't know.

Love and peace, Craig
