Are You a SLIder?

SLI is an acronym for Street Lamp Interference, a psychic phenomenon involving electromagnetic interference (usually unintentional). Some people experience street lights going out as they approach them--far more often than can be explained by typical malfunctions. SLIder is the name given to people who seem to cause electromagnetic interference.

I don't know why it has been called SLI because there are many other ways this electromagnetic phenomenon is experienced. SLIders often have trouble keeping a wrist watch functional, their credit cards and bank cards often fail because the information on the magnetic strip gets corrupted or erased (this is especially problematic for male SLIders who typically keep their wallet in their back pocket), and they can cause all sorts of malfunctions in electronic equipment.

SLI seems to be quite common amongst psychics but it can be an issue for anyone who has a strong aura. It's a fascinating phenomenon that is being studied, but for SLIders, it can be very annoying and difficult to live with. It can also be embarrassing. There was a time in my life when it got a little out of hand and a gentleman asked if he could walk me home. I tried to convince him that I was capable of getting myself home, but I finally gave in to his request. We walked in silence for about 15 minutes before he blurted out, "I hope this thing with the lights is the only reason you didn't want me to walk with you." I swear to you, every single light went out as we approached it and didn't come back on until we were about 50 ft away, and it was impossible for him to not notice it! Thankfully his humour about it helped me feel a lot better.

Most SLIders experience electronic malfunctions when they are in an emotionally agitated state, such as when they are very stressed or feeling intense emotions. Over the years, I've made meditation a regular part of my routine and it seems to have nearly eliminated the experience. Relaxation, stress relief and meditation can help you minimize the electromagnetic interference you might be experiencing.

For most people, SLI is completely unintentional, but some people have learned to control and even benefit from their strange ability. My father used to run an electronics repair shop and he revealed to me that he often "fixed" broken equipment by putting his head down on it and taking a little nap! He also had plenty of experiences with equipment that wasn't broken at all but was simply being effected by the energy of the owner.

If it has never happened to you, this probably sounds like bad science fiction! If you are a SLIder, I would love to hear some of your experiences. Have you been able to control it, or minimize it, with meditation? Have your experiences been connected with intense emotional experiences? Have you found any beneficial ways to use your unusual talent?
