CUTTING TIES RITUAL
If you have ever experienced a broken relationship you will understand when I say it feels as if part of you is missing, this is because in effect is what has happened. When you have deep feelings for someone your auric field reaches out to that other person like a tentacle to be with them. People who are deeply in love will often say that their loved one is with them. However when that relationship breaks up suddenly it does literally, create this sensation that part of you is missing.This is not the same as when a relationship ends due to the other person passing over in death so do not try this ritual to get over a bereavement. Grieving is a natural process.
CUTTING TIES RITUAL WHEN A RELATIONSHIP HAS ENDED
There are several rituals this is the one I have used and recommend.It is done through visualisation and can be performed as much as necessary in the passing of time, you will find you wont feel you have the need to do it. Visualise you are standing opposite the one you wish to cut ties with
And visualise a ribbon of each associated colour with each chakra for example red for base, orange for sacral, yellow for solar plexus, green or pink for the heart, blue for throat, indigo for third eye and purple for crown. These coloured ribbons join each of you together.
As you face one another smile and send love. at the same time visualise a pink cloud surrounding both you feet, pink is associated with love.
Now visualise a pair of ornate golden scissors cutting each ribbon in turn starting at the base chakra, as you cut each ribbon each end curls back to each person and at the same time the pink cloud rises up to obscure the other.
All the time smiling and sending them love to see them on their way. Gradually as you cut you will obscure the person you are cutting ties with and with the final tie complete you have sent them away with love to live their own life and yours.
You will have to do this a few times and every time you think of them do this visualisation, You will notice as time passes you wont think of them so much and you will be able to do the ritual quicker and easier and it will no longer hurt if your thoughts do turn to the person you are cutting ties with.
Do not do this ritual after a bereavement or when you are in an actual relationship with someone. It should only be used when the relationship is over and no longer serves a purpose. To allow you both to move on, one neither hating the other, that is why you smile and send love as you send them on their way.
A SPELL 'SENDING BACK THE PAIN'
RITUAL FOR SENDING BACK NEGATIVITY TO WHERE IT ORIGINATED
It is never justifiable to curse or hex anyone, it is wrong and you have to remember the laws of the Universe what you give out you will get back tenfold. However that does not mean you have to tolerate being bullied or attacked by anyone for this can result in unhappiness and can if it goes on resulting in physical illness. Sometimes no matter what you do to try and resolve something and even report it to the appropriate authority that doesn't cause it to cease. You cannot wish ill on them for bad vibes will always rebound on the sender of negative magic but what you can do is return the pain to the perpetrator. You are not mentioning names but merely returning ill will and negativity back to where it came from.
This ritual is most effective when carried out at the time of a waning moon or on any moonless night.
Method and ingredients
Take nine iron nails (carpet tacks will do) and place them in a dark glass bottle with sprigs of rosemary, sour milk that's begun to curdle and some cheap red wine that has gone sour
Cork the bottle and shake it saying: "May venom and viciousness coil like poisonous snakes and bottle up the evil that is done to me"
Purify a drain with a few drops of fenugreek or pine dissolved in warm water with a sprinkling of some salt.
Shake the bottle well and tip the contents down the drain saying words such as:
Pain, misery flow from me
Flow not to the sea
Flow back to he or she
Inflicter of disharmony
Wheresoever you may be
You can do this ritual also for anonymous letters, phone calls or unidentifiable malice
Rinse out the bottle with very hot water and tip any remnants away, rinsing until the water from the bottle runs clear
When the bottle is empty say:
I have returned the pain
Send it not again
Purify the bottle by placing a clear quartz crystal in it with pure spring water and leave it uncorked for a sun and moon cycle
I have performed this many times to good effect to send back negativity to where it originated
EXERCISE FOR SENSING AND FEELING THE AURA
Ideally
carried out as a group but this exercise needs a minimum of two people.
Divide the group into pairs and one of the pair sits on a chair close
to and facing the wall. The second person stands several feet away and
to allow the second person to have an indication of how detecting the
aura feels like ask them to rub their hands together then pull them
slowly apart, there will be a tingling sensation and as the hands are
pulled apart and pushed together, there will be a bit of a bounce like
you are playing with an invisible ball.
With
the first person facing the wall, ask the person sitting on the chair
to think of very happy thoughts and concentrate on this. The second
person with hands outstretched walks forward to the seated person, being
alert and aware of any tingling warm, cool sensations. When these are
detected stop and notice how far away the second person is away from the
seated person. With the sensation detected, like the invisible ball
before the second person should be able to push and pull gently what
they are feeling.
Repeat
the exercise above but this time ask the seated person to think of
something very sad and focus of being negative. Note this time how far
the second person is away from the seated person.
Swap over and repeat the two steps above. What have you noticed? there should be a consistency, what is it?
FLOWER READING
Now
this is a fun activity and what you need for this activity is a bunch
of assorted flowers, they can be wild ones, ones from the garden, even
weeds will do, it really doesn't matter. Do to a flower reading you
have to let your mind go floppy and just go with the first thing that
comes into your head. It's the very first words, thoughts ideas and it
will come very fast, it you have to think about it, then its your own
rational mind thinking about it and not your intuition.
So
you have a vase of assorted flowers in a vase and in a group you can
all take turns reading for each other. Everyone picks a flower at
random and the person doing the flower reading takes the flower from
the person who picked it and allows their intuition to pick up random
thoughts, don't worry about what comes, just allow it to flow.
Below
is some examples of the kind of things you may pick up allow the
flower to give you ideas, you are using the flower as a mantic tool, a
vehicle for the reading.
Now
I'm not sure what this flower is but it doesn't matter, use what you
have, the clues are very subtle but they are there and the Universe is
very clever.
I
feel this person can be quite shy, its not that they are secretive,
there's nothing devious there purely because they lack confidence in
what their abilities (I am using the flower that is half closed and has
a deeper more detailed inner and the colour of white that denotes
innocence as my key here) I feel that this person is very spiritual but
they lack the confidence in their ability. I also feel this person is
quite neat, tidy and organised (again I am using the detailed centre to
give me the inspiration for this reading) I am also drawn the large
amount of green leaves surrounding this flower and in fact the radiate
around the flower like a halo. Green is often associated with healing
and the caring professions so I feel this person cares for others and
possibly in one of the caring professions like nursing or even teaching
and the have a natural healing aura about them. (Again I am using what
I have here to use in the reading) I am sure you will get the idea,
don't be frightened to say what first comes to you.
You
don't even have to use real flowers, you can use pictures of flowers
whereby each of the group takes a picture from an assorted pile of
flower pictures. The Universe is very clever how it works. We all have
this ability, this is merely a tool to help us link into our inherent
psychic abilities.
SMUDGING WHAT IS IT? AND WHY DO IT?
Sage & Sweetgrass with Abalone shell
Smudging what is it? and why do it?
In an earlier article I talked about Universal law, in order to understand why smudge you will have read about Universal Laws, if not click on the link below.
The Law of Vibration and Attraction-
* Everything vibrates, nothing rests.
* Conscious awareness of vibration is called feeling. Your thoughts control your paradigms and your vibration (which dictates what you attract).
* When you are not feeling good, become aware of what you are thinking, then think of something pleasant. In other words negativity attracts negativity and likewise positivity attracts positivity
Well over time energy builds up, every time we think, we create a 'thoughtform' this thoughtform is energy and it become tangible, in other words it creates an effect. When you think how many thoughts you have in a day, you can see that is an awful lot of energy built up. What is worse when you get into a negative state of mind and you worry you put all this negative energy out in to your surroundings and because of the "The law of vibration and attraction" negative attracts negative, so this energy builds up and attracts even more and before you know it you worry even more, you attract back luck into your life and its a hard cycle to get out off. So what do you do. Well first no matter what you focus on the positive but that alone is not easy, you need to give your surroundings a bit of a helping hand hence 'Smudging'
Before you begin smudging to help attract positive energy around you need to de-clutter and clear out and tidy up. Any dead or dying houseplants/flowers have got to go. Empty bins and get rid of belongings that no longer serve you well, if you haven't worn it or used it for a year chances are you wont ever, so recycle it. Do the laundry, and tidy and clean your home, you can now smudge your surroundings.
Some people like to have a regular schedule for smudging and you don't have to stop at homes, you can work on people (if they allow it) yourself and your possessions. It's a good idea if you feel the energy in your home has changed or you are feeling down to smudge. There are many methods and the traditional method is with sage and sweet grass and an abalone shell and with a feather. You light the sage and sweet grass bundle blow on it till smouldering and carry it in the abalone shell, this will induce smoke. The feather is used to waft the smoke to the areas you wish to smoke, remember you are dealing with a naked flame so be sensible and don't use it near combustible materials or gas sources etc. You can use incense Frankincense is ideal or a bell or even clap your hands if you have nothing available to hand. What is important is the intent. You are smudging to remove negative energy and attract positive energy in its place.
With rooms, homes, after you have de cluttered and cleaned, in each corner of each room, either waft the smoke, ring the bell or clap and with your mind focused and with intent ask that the negative energy is changed into positive energy. The reason I say changed if you simply ask for the negative energy to be removed, you are moving it out into the atmosphere and sending it to someone else.
You may find you have a bit of interference from Lower Elementals.
The universe has its own vibration, Earth having the lowest in spiritual terms. After Earth comes the Astral realm, it is on this realm that we travel when we dream, its not unusual to see friends etc, in dream state, after all they will be traveling this realm too at night lol. It is on this realm where lower Elementals reside, i.e. wood nymphs, nature spirits, elves and fairies amongst others, and as often as in the case spirit who are trapped unable to move on also reside in this vibration. this is the same vibration used in psychic work. There are several spiritual realms each having a different vibration, with the most Celestial where the realms of the Angels are.
These entities live in the lower astral realms and they feed on negative energy, like everything else there is balance in the Universe, cause and effect, good and bad, so obviously they do not like the shift in negative energy, so you may find light bulbs will blow, computers act up, it will pass, focus on the positive and visualise this positive energy flowing throughout your home.
When it comes to smudging people and possessions its basically the same technique wafting the smoke around yourself and visualising covering you and washing and cleansing all the negative energy into positive energy, same with the bell, its often easier to get a helper to do this for you, remember the key is by thought and intent.
If you use incense or sage and sweet grass be careful when dealing with flames.
You should notice a difference almost immediately the atmosphere will feel lighter and you may get a sudden energy rush.RECOMMENDED

PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT 1.
In
my many years of working with Spirit and it has been a lifetime, often
I am asked about disturbing dreams or experiences, when waking in the
night or just drifting off to sleep. These often manifest as
frightening faces, or eyes or a sensation you are being attacked. These
experiences tend to come when you are very tired and off guard. These
experiences are typical of the activities of lower entities and elementals that inhabit the astral plane. The Astral plane is the closest vibration of the several spiritual realms, to earth and it is on this realm we travel when we sleep.
Now
everybody is capable of developing their psychic ability, this is not
the same as mediumship, where you can communicate with spirit, this
psychic ability is inherent to all of us and was designed as a
protective mechanism to keep us safe. Animals still use theirs, we have
just got out of the habit and in this day and age we do not use it for
survival. However some are more psychically aware than others so are
able to sense these entities on the Astral Planes. I might add it is the
Astral Plane that Psychics use as it is a lower vibration that the
ones used by Medium's when they communicate with loved ones in spirit.
Unfortunately
when you are developed or starting to develop this psychic ability,
it's almost as if you have a beacon above your head and these lower
entities can detect who can see them, so they get up to mischief and
have what is fun to them, hence the activity and experiences. Firstly
no being, no spirit can ever possess you, this is a myth put about by
various religious orders, that is simply nonsense, your spirit and your
spirit only is the only one who can inhabit your body, however if you
brainwash people into believing this, mass hysteria will prevail, it
just cannot happen I assure you, only you are in control of your body.
These entities can maybe give you a fright, but only if you let them,
they cannot harm you in anyway, you are in total control at all times.
So
what can you do about these experiences, well you have a choice, we
all do for remember no matter for whatever reason we came to earth to
experience we also have free will. So we can choose to develop our
experiences and many latent Mediums start off in this way, some don't
progress this far but do develop their psychic abilities, or we can
suppress and ignore these abilities, we all have free will. If you wish
to develop your ability, then its best to find a good development group
and many of these groups can be found in Spiritualist Churches, many
others can be found under the guidance of an experienced Medium. If you
do not want to take this ability any further that is fine also, but if
you do not want these experiences and disturbances, then you need to
refrain from reading and dabbling in psychic subjects and if you do get
disturbed you have to show no fear when these experiences happen. If
this doesn't work then simple table salt sprinkled in the corners of
rooms, should be enough to chase them away.
Supposing you will to follow the development path, well remember Universal Laws,
there is good and bad, there is a continual balancing of the Universe
and Like attracts like, the more spiritual you become the less likely
you are to be bothered in this way, if you have good and pure thoughts
and don't dwell on the lower side of life, you wont attract this type of
energy. At some point all developing Mediums will be shown the dark
side, it's a right of passage and I defy any Medium to say they haven't
experienced this. In order to understand good, you need to understand
the bad, so you can deal with it. How do we deal with the negative and
bad we do this through strength of mind for to chase away the bad we
need to do so with conviction. We develop strength of mind through the
art of Meditation. You will find the better we become in
meditating the stronger our minds become, so we are able to turn on and
off psychic and mediumistic abilities. We need to be able to do this so
we can deal with these entities and communicate more effectively with
the world of spirit and also it's very exhausting being tuned in all
the time, it uses a great deal of energy up. We also need to learn to
protect ourselves from negative energy as this can be terribly
exhausting too and you don't need to be a psychic or medium to benefit
from this. How many of you have a friend or associate who comes and
tells you all their troubles, they make you feel low and tired, of
course they go away feeling great, they've off loaded all their
negativity onto you. Simple exercises, simply by using visualisation can
make the world of a difference when dealing with these negative people
and protect us when entering negative surroundings.
One
of the simplest protection visualisation exercises is to simply
visualise you surround yourself in either golden or silver light, like
stepping into a sphere or egg shape and you seal it completely. Next
time you feel vulnerable or know you are meeting negative people try
this exercise and see how it makes a difference.

THE CHAKRAS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
THE CHAKRAS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
In a previous article I mentioned the Chrakras, the word Chakra comes from the Sanskrit meaning spinning wheel. The Chakras are energy centres and there are seven major and many minor ones, they are a link between the physical body and the subtle bodies or Aura. Their function is to channel Universal Energy (life force) from the Cosmos, where it is stored and assimilated by the body. Each Chakra in your spinal column is believed to influence or even govern bodily functions near its region of the spine. They cannot be seen however some Psychics have the ability to see them and are well documented in the traditions of the Far East.
The 7 major Chakras
Crown Chakra is located at the top of the head and its function is understanding. It's colour is violet and a corresponding crystal is Amethyst. It governs the pituitary gland, Cerebrum and surrounding tissues
Brow Chakra is located in the centre of the forehead just above the eyebrows. It's colour is indigo and crystal Iolite. It's function promotes thought and helps Psychic abilities. It governs the pineal gland and surrounding structures
Throat Chakra is located in the throat and functions are communication and creativity. It's colour is blue and crystal Sodalite. It governs the Thyroid and Parathyroids, communication area in the brain and surrounding structures.
Heart Chakra is located in the centre of the chest and functions are love and compassion. It's colour is green/pink so crystals such as Rose Quartz and Aventurine. It governs the Thymus and the heart and circulation.
Solar Plexus is located just above the navel, its function is will power, joy and anger, its colour is yellow and crystal Citrine. It governs the Pancreas and surrounding structures
Sacral Chakra is located in the lower abdomen and its functions are desire sexuality, pleasure and governs the genitals and surrounding tissues. It's colour is orange and crystal Carnelian.
Base Chakra is located at the base of the spine and its functions are grounding and survival and the surrounding tissues. It's colour is red and crystals associated are Ruby or Haematite
I will say and agree that there are many charlatans in my profession but equally there are many excellent psychic mediums too. However before you start to criticise us, you need to have a basic understanding of how the laws of the Universe work and also many so called Psychics will jump down my throat when I say this, "It's impossible to foretell the future". The genuine psychics and mediums amongst us will understand this, but let me explain.
We are all subject in life and after death to the laws of the Universe, namely there is cause and effect, every thought and deed we have and do will cause ripples of energy and effect others. One you will know well as 'Karma' i.e. you are accountable for all your actions and what you give out you will get back tenfold, us Spiritualists know this as 'Compensation and retribution for all souls'. To put it even simpler, if you bear bad thoughts and actions towards others you will have to pay for it either in this lifetime or in another but positively if you do good deeds and think positively for others you will be rewarded. Positive thoughts and deeds attract positivity and likewise negativity attracts negativity. This is known as the 'law of attraction'.
How this transpires is whilst we are in spirit before we incarnate, we know our faults and failings and WE choose to work on those to make our souls purer, so we choose experiences and challenges some of which is to payback for what we have done before. We also through every lifetime wish to experience all aspects of life, the good and the bad to enrich our souls and the older our soul the tougher the challenges these tend to be. But think about this, if we knew what was ahead of us in our lifetime, especially the not so good, would we wish to go through with it? probably not, so our memory is wiped from our 'physical mind' our souls however retain this memory and this can be explained as our 'higher self or intuition'. Life is not easy on Earth it was never intended to be for Earth is our classroom and we are all incarnated on Earth to learn and grow. We thus have this soul memory of what we need do, but the Universe and spirit want us to learn from our mistakes, they want us to choose for ourselves to learn willingly so they give us 'Free will'.
Now what has all this got to do with Psychics and Mediums? it is the 'Free will' that complicates readings, we can see your soul path, we are sensitive enough to attune to your souls, but we have no control over your 'Free will'. Sometimes our guides and helpers will only give some information and not the desperate information you long for, this is because, either there is a soul challenge for you or another party involved. So can you see how it is impossible to be 100% accurate. Guides will only give some information if it will not impinge YOUR chosen destiny. Our personal guides and helpers and loved ones in spirit want to help us get through those challenges, so they will help us meet like minded souls to help us along the way. This may be the understanding friend, who has been though these type of experiences themselves who in turn can support you through your soul lesson. Sometimes these people will be here for a few days, the transient or the long standing but rest assured Spirit will never let you fall so far you cannot get up.
One common criticism I see on these forums arise through ignorance, and that is, 'If psychics could tell the future they would know the lottery numbers' after all how many psychics do you know are lottery winners? The answer of course is none, not because we are rubbish psychics but because genuine psychics and mediums are old souls and we are working at becoming purer souls, our challenge is to experience as much as possible and I can guarantee the genuine psychics and mediums amongst us will have had a tough life. This is because we need to have experienced all those awful things so we can be supportive and understanding and be able to show empathy to others.
Only the ignorant, young souls would come out with this. Only the ignorant and young souls would liken psychic mediums to fortune tellers. Indeed Psychic Mediums are NOT fortune tellers we are here to empathise, support and guide YOU through your challenges and sometimes we are given snippets of the future but only if it won't affect your progress. Mediums on the other hand also give 'Survival Evidence' of life after physical death. The future is not written in stone, you make your own destiny, YOU chose it and YOU alone are responsible for it.
Now if there are psychic mediums out there who read this and disagree with what I'm saying, I would question their motives, the word 'Charlatan' comes to mind.

IGNORANT CRITICISIMS OF PSYCHICS
As a working psychic medium I feel I need to yet touch on this subject matter again owing to the forums I see on the internet and the ratings and feed back given to us in the profession.
FURTHER TO THE DEBATE ON PSYCHICS
I
forgot to address this query from the last post in depth so doing this
now. The following is part of the email in the last post received by
me
Quote: Psychics set up telephone hotlines to have you call
for a reading and you end up paying hundreds of dollars for it.
Psychics will tell you they are here to help, but if they truly wanted
to help they would do it for free. Unquote
My explanation: Psychics do
this for free, you are paying for their time not their advice, most of
the cost of these calls are taken up by the phone companies the lines
are rented from and agency overheads, the actual readers only receive a
tiny percentage of the fee. Because the psychics time is taken up
giving advice, it prevents then working in other occupations and the
vast majority of these psychic advisers are highly trained counsellors
with professional qualifications. Would you expect to go to a therapist
and get this service for free? Oh I admit like any other profession
there are poor psychics, some being charlatans however if you go to a
reputable agency and there are a few highly respected and reliable ones
out there, who take the care to vet and test the psychics and mediums
on their books. you wont have any problems. A medium's job is to give
you evidence of survival to prove to you the spirit he/she is
communicating with is someone you recognise, this is done by describing
their appearance, their character, what ailment caused their death,
their relationship to you and hopefully their name. We try and find out
some facts only be known to the client such as describing a situation
around you.
This takes up a great deal of energy to do this and it takes time and
counselling advice is given too. I might add that a good counsellor only
makes a client aware of their choices and does not tell the client
what to do and listens and empathises with the client. And you want all
of this for free?
When entering a debate its essential to firstly get your facts right and
give the other you are debating with a chance to challenge your debate
as this makes the view unbalanced, bias and prejudiced
AURA READING
This is an Aura photograph taken by a specialised camera. Aura cameras have come a long way since the first Kirlian camera in the 1970's.
The Aura is an electromagnetic field that surrounds living bodies, this includes people, animals, plants and crystals and is composed of several layers that are constantly moving. For those of us who are lucky enough to see auras here is a photo of one. The colours are influenced by our moods and emotions and by Spirit activity, likewise our moods and emotions will influence how far our aura expands e.g. when we are happy our aura expands and when we are depressed it shrinks in on itself. Other shapes and bubbles within the aura are common. It is on the aura that psychics base their readings for the past, present and future is contained within it.
VIEWING THE ETHERIC BODY
A PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE
I was born being able to see the Aura and I can now switch it on and off, which is just as well really but in this exercise I am going to try and explain how you can see this for yourself. When you begin to be able to view the Aura, you generally see the Etheric Body, there are several layers and this layer is closest to the physical body and is a complete blueprint of your physical body. If you have had organs or limbs removed they will still be present in your Etheric Body.
You will need at least one other person to do this exercise, they can be standing or sitting it doesn't matter however you will need to get them to stand or sit in front of a plain coloured wall. Some people prefer a light coloured wall others a dark, it's what works best for you and you can try both.
With your partner placed in front of the wall and it doesn't matter if they are facing you or facing away open your eyes wide, now its a bit difficult to describe but you have to allow your eyes to go floppy and to let your vision relax as if day dreaming and out of focus, but here is the tricky part. You stare at your partner until it gets uncomfortable and just before you have to blink you will get a perfect view of the Etheric body. Now this layer has a distinctive beautiful colour that radiates from the physical. I wont lead you on and tell you what colour it is as I want you to see this for yourself. After you have practised this a few times you will be able to view this layer a lot easier.
You can leave me a comment below what you actually view. It's not just humans who have an Aura but all animals and plants do too as do crystals who have some of the most beautiful. The illustration here will give you a rough idea how far this layer emulates from the body
" Life has many lessons, a lot of them we do not understand at the time we face them, but they all have a purpose. These lessons are only to help us grow and get stronger. Never stress over things that come up in life that are out of your control. Just know there is victory in the end. If you learn the lesson the first time, you will not have to repeat it over and over again."
" Life has many lessons, a lot of them we do not understand at the time we face them, but they all have a purpose. These lessons are only to help us grow and get stronger. Never stress over things that come up in life that are out of your control. Just know there is victory in the end. If you learn the lesson the first time, you will not have to repeat it over and over again."
TOUGH TIMES
" There will always be times of adversity when we shall be tested and brought to the brink of despair and fear. At times like these, we may be tempted to forgo the ideals and principles that we hold dear. Yet, it is precisely at times like these that we must hold on to those ideals and principles tighter than ever. Ideals and principles are meant to be honoured because they are ideals and principles, and it is during the darkness of despair that we look to our ideals and principles as beacons of hope during our voyage across the stormy seas of challenge and adversity."
This is so true we only realise how far we have come when we look back on our lives, then and only then do we see the bigger picture for at the time we cannot see the wood for the trees. It's only we we have come through adversity that we realise just how strong we have become. This is not designed to make us hardened in life but to enable us to support and give strength and comfort to those around us, whom who's paths we inadvertently come across, to be able to show empathy and understanding.
Never forget we will always meet others on our paths who are there to help us. When the days are long and dark and our struggles seem endless, we will never be alone to face pain and adversity. The Universe is kind.
Sometimes we need to be taken so low, but this is for our growth, but you will never be taken so low you cannot rise. Have faith, trust and the strength and support we need will be there always
SPIRIT COMMUNICATION~SPIRIT SHORTHAND
WHEN I SEE A BLACKBIRD ON A BARE TREE I WILL KNOW THEY MEAN WINTER
SPIRIT SHORTHAND
Sometimes
when Mediums are relaying messages from spirit they receive what is
best described as spirit shorthand. If you have had a reading from a
Medium they may mention they have seen a bird, or a black cat etc. This
does not mean you have a guide who is a bird or a cat or even the
spirits are of deceased pets. For example when I am asked to give a
time frame for something that is coming up in the person's life I am
reading for, I am often presented with a blackbird sitting in a beech
tree. If the black bird is singing and the leaves are newly opened I
know, spirit are trying to convey to me it's Spring as the blackbird
only sings from March till June, as in the case of the sign I may have
if the tree has rich green leaves and the blackbird is not singing, I
will know spirit are trying to convey to me it's summer. Likewise if I
am given a picture of a blackbird is sitting on the tree and the leaves
are falling etc. I will know, they mean Autumn. For some Mediums
seeing a symbol of a bird can mean news is coming our way, every Medium
is different and we all have our own shorthand of symbols.
Why
this is? well spirit vibrations are very fast and they communicate
with me in a variety of fashions, every spirit communicator is different
like every personality on earth. The voice I hear can come in very
fast so it's often reinforced with spirit shorthand to aid
communication. Sometimes a whole communication is entirely made up of
symbols in this way other times its completely auditory others are
entirely visual with spirit actually signing or holding up a blackboard
or by pointing at their body to convey what they passed with. Other
times its completely by feeling but mostly they communicate by a
mixture of everything.
The symbols and shorthand we
develop is an entirely individual thing, no one Medium will have the
same, don't ask me how I know which symbol means what, I just know and
likewise for the developing Medium they too will develop their own
understood form of spirit shorthand. Spirit will make use of all of the
Medium's senses to convey a message to loved ones on earth, all the
Medium has to do, is just trust what they are getting and allow their
own intuition to guide them.
DOWSING
What is Dowsing?
It
is the ability to use our natural sensitivity our intuition , which we
all possess, that enables us to know things, to locate things which we
cannot know or do by using our conscious mind, or by learning, or by
experience, or by using the five physical senses which we are born with
in effect it enables us to tap into our sixth sense our intuition, our
inherent psychic ability we all possess. Dowsing enables us to locate
anything in the world without having to travel there. Distance, depth,
height, date, location don't seem to make any difference
How Does it Work?
The short answer is
that no-one really knows – it just does!.
There is very
little in the physical world which cannot be found by dowsing and there
are many answers we can find out by dowsing with practice
It can help locate
- Water: The location of underground streams at any depth, water pipes etc
- Minerals – Precious Stones: Their location and depth
- Oil – Gas: The location of oil deposits under the land or the sea
and the depth below the surface and an estimate of the quantity and the
quality, also the porosity of the rock strata in which it lays.
- Archaeology: The location of unknown sites where nothing shows on the surface of the ground.
- The location of sunken ships and submarines:
- Building Sites: Examination for all purposes, the water runs
underneath them, rock state, soil state, rock faults, old wells,
cavities, cellars, drains, sewers, cables and pipes and so on –
especially if it is intended to build on that site.
- Location of pipes, cables and drains: The line of the run, depth,
location of fractured pipes, broken cables, leaks and blockages. It is
particularly to farmers for searching for old or lost field drains and
tracing water supplies from farm to field and field to field for animal
drinking troughs and so on.
- Location of tunnels, caves, lost mine workings: The demarcation, size and depth of them and flooding.
- Lost articles: Valuables, car keys, rings, brooches, purses, wallets to name but a few.
- Missing people: This is one of the most difficult tasks owing to the
difficulty of identification and should be undertaken with care and
careful preparation – bear in mind that some people deliberately
‘disappear’ for their own personal reasons and have no wish to be found.
- Tracking lost animals or children or perhaps someone elderly and confused in areas of ,say, woodland:
- Medical: A number of qualified doctors and others are increasingly
using dowsing techniques to assist in diagnosis and the selection of
remedies.
- Animals: Pendulum dowsing can be used to locate health problems in
animals and help in the selection of remedies. The Royal College of
Veterinary Surgeons accepts this course of action providing the services
of a vet are called for if it is considered that the animal needs
professional help.
What do I need to be able to dowse?
The pendulum:
This is a simple weight on the end of a piece of cord or light chain, a
key on the end of a bit of cord to a ring or a crystal. I use a piece
of hazel twig for indoor working and a heavier crystal for out doors,
simply because you need something that will be heavy enough not to be
blown around by the wind. The pendulum is the most versatile tool for
use in ‘map dowsing’ and straight question and answer type of dowsing.
Before asking a question when dowsing double check but asking a
question you know the answer to. e.g. ask the pendulum to give you a
yes and it will swing in a particular way with me it is clockwise and
and I also ask an obvious question is my name and give your name, this
way you are checking the direction of the answer. For me no it swings
anti clockwise and if its not a suitable time to ask or if the question
is not understood it will swing backwards and forwards
Angle rods:
The easiest and simplest of all tools to use. They are just lengths
of wire bent at right angles and can be made quite easily from old
metal coat-hangers, and cut them so that the top
is about 9 to 12 inches long and from the angle towards the hook for
hanging, about 4 to 5 inches long, then, having cut it, bend the angle
to 90 degrees. The short length is held in the hand as the handle
Wands:
These are just springy lengths of thin branch about 36 inches long and
are ideal for dowsing up a wall, for example following the path of an
old chimney – these tend to meander up the walls of old houses. A
modern materials are taking over and the usual wand is a 36 inch length
of fairly thin plastic.
When
you dowse focus on the object you are trying to locate and don't tense
up keep relaxed so as you don't interfere consciously with the tool
you are using. When you are trying to locate something you have lost in
your home make a list of questions that can be answered by yes or no.
and go through the list methodically e.g. is my lost ring in the
bedroom, is it in the living room until you narrow it down, when you
have double checked this answer break it down further divide the room
into sections and again ask the questions is it in this quarter of the
room until you have narrowed it to enable a through search of the area.
Like all skills it needs practise.
EXERCISE FOR SENSING AND FEELING THE AURA
Ideally
carried out as a group but this exercise needs a minimum of two people.
Divide the group into pairs and one of the pair sits on a chair close
to and facing the wall. The second person stands several feet away and
to allow the second person to have an indication of how detecting the
aura feels like ask them to rub their hands together then pull them
slowly apart, there will be a tingling sensation and as the hands are
pulled apart and pushed together, there will be a bit of a bounce like
you are playing with an invisible ball.
With
the first person facing the wall, ask the person sitting on the chair
to think of very happy thoughts and concentrate on this. The second
person with hands outstretched walks forward to the seated person, being
alert and aware of any tingling warm, cool sensations. When these are
detected stop and notice how far away the second person is away from the
seated person. With the sensation detected, like the invisible ball
before the second person should be able to push and pull gently what
they are feeling.
Repeat
the exercise above but this time ask the seated person to think of
something very sad and focus of being negative. Note this time how far
the second person is away from the seated person.
Swap over and repeat the two steps above. What have you noticed? there should be a consistency, what is it?
FLOWER READING
Now
this is a fun activity and what you need for this activity is a bunch
of assorted flowers, they can be wild ones, ones from the garden, even
weeds will do, it really doesn't matter. Do to a flower reading you
have to let your mind go floppy and just go with the first thing that
comes into your head. It's the very first words, thoughts ideas and it
will come very fast, it you have to think about it, then its your own
rational mind thinking about it and not your intuition.
So
you have a vase of assorted flowers in a vase and in a group you can
all take turns reading for each other. Everyone picks a flower at
random and the person doing the flower reading takes the flower from
the person who picked it and allows their intuition to pick up random
thoughts, don't worry about what comes, just allow it to flow.
Below
is some examples of the kind of things you may pick up allow the
flower to give you ideas, you are using the flower as a mantic tool, a
vehicle for the reading.
Now
I'm not sure what this flower is but it doesn't matter, use what you
have, the clues are very subtle but they are there and the Universe is
very clever.
I
feel this person can be quite shy, its not that they are secretive,
there's nothing devious there purely because they lack confidence in
what their abilities (I am using the flower that is half closed and has
a deeper more detailed inner and the colour of white that denotes
innocence as my key here) I feel that this person is very spiritual but
they lack the confidence in their ability. I also feel this person is
quite neat, tidy and organised (again I am using the detailed centre to
give me the inspiration for this reading) I am also drawn the large
amount of green leaves surrounding this flower and in fact the radiate
around the flower like a halo. Green is often associated with healing
and the caring professions so I feel this person cares for others and
possibly in one of the caring professions like nursing or even teaching
and the have a natural healing aura about them. (Again I am using what
I have here to use in the reading) I am sure you will get the idea,
don't be frightened to say what first comes to you.
You
don't even have to use real flowers, you can use pictures of flowers
whereby each of the group takes a picture from an assorted pile of
flower pictures. The Universe is very clever how it works. We all have
this ability, this is merely a tool to help us link into our inherent
psychic abilities.
SMUDGING WHAT IS IT? AND WHY DO IT?
Sage & Sweetgrass with Abalone shell
Smudging what is it? and why do it?
In an earlier article I talked about Universal law, in order to understand why smudge you will have read about Universal Laws, if not click on the link below.
The Law of Vibration and Attraction-
* Everything vibrates, nothing rests.
* Conscious awareness of vibration is called feeling. Your thoughts control your paradigms and your vibration (which dictates what you attract).
* When you are not feeling good, become aware of what you are thinking, then think of something pleasant. In other words negativity attracts negativity and likewise positivity attracts positivity
Well over time energy builds up, every time we think, we create a 'thoughtform' this thoughtform is energy and it become tangible, in other words it creates an effect. When you think how many thoughts you have in a day, you can see that is an awful lot of energy built up. What is worse when you get into a negative state of mind and you worry you put all this negative energy out in to your surroundings and because of the "The law of vibration and attraction" negative attracts negative, so this energy builds up and attracts even more and before you know it you worry even more, you attract back luck into your life and its a hard cycle to get out off. So what do you do. Well first no matter what you focus on the positive but that alone is not easy, you need to give your surroundings a bit of a helping hand hence 'Smudging'
Before you begin smudging to help attract positive energy around you need to de-clutter and clear out and tidy up. Any dead or dying houseplants/flowers have got to go. Empty bins and get rid of belongings that no longer serve you well, if you haven't worn it or used it for a year chances are you wont ever, so recycle it. Do the laundry, and tidy and clean your home, you can now smudge your surroundings.
Some people like to have a regular schedule for smudging and you don't have to stop at homes, you can work on people (if they allow it) yourself and your possessions. It's a good idea if you feel the energy in your home has changed or you are feeling down to smudge. There are many methods and the traditional method is with sage and sweet grass and an abalone shell and with a feather. You light the sage and sweet grass bundle blow on it till smouldering and carry it in the abalone shell, this will induce smoke. The feather is used to waft the smoke to the areas you wish to smoke, remember you are dealing with a naked flame so be sensible and don't use it near combustible materials or gas sources etc. You can use incense Frankincense is ideal or a bell or even clap your hands if you have nothing available to hand. What is important is the intent. You are smudging to remove negative energy and attract positive energy in its place.
With rooms, homes, after you have de cluttered and cleaned, in each corner of each room, either waft the smoke, ring the bell or clap and with your mind focused and with intent ask that the negative energy is changed into positive energy. The reason I say changed if you simply ask for the negative energy to be removed, you are moving it out into the atmosphere and sending it to someone else.
You may find you have a bit of interference from Lower Elementals.
The universe has its own vibration, Earth having the lowest in spiritual terms. After Earth comes the Astral realm, it is on this realm that we travel when we dream, its not unusual to see friends etc, in dream state, after all they will be traveling this realm too at night lol. It is on this realm where lower Elementals reside, i.e. wood nymphs, nature spirits, elves and fairies amongst others, and as often as in the case spirit who are trapped unable to move on also reside in this vibration. this is the same vibration used in psychic work. There are several spiritual realms each having a different vibration, with the most Celestial where the realms of the Angels are.
These entities live in the lower astral realms and they feed on negative energy, like everything else there is balance in the Universe, cause and effect, good and bad, so obviously they do not like the shift in negative energy, so you may find light bulbs will blow, computers act up, it will pass, focus on the positive and visualise this positive energy flowing throughout your home.
When it comes to smudging people and possessions its basically the same technique wafting the smoke around yourself and visualising covering you and washing and cleansing all the negative energy into positive energy, same with the bell, its often easier to get a helper to do this for you, remember the key is by thought and intent.
If you use incense or sage and sweet grass be careful when dealing with flames.
You should notice a difference almost immediately the atmosphere will feel lighter and you may get a sudden energy rush.RECOMMENDED

PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT 1.
In
my many years of working with Spirit and it has been a lifetime, often
I am asked about disturbing dreams or experiences, when waking in the
night or just drifting off to sleep. These often manifest as
frightening faces, or eyes or a sensation you are being attacked. These
experiences tend to come when you are very tired and off guard. These
experiences are typical of the activities of lower entities and elementals that inhabit the astral plane. The Astral plane is the closest vibration of the several spiritual realms, to earth and it is on this realm we travel when we sleep.
Now
everybody is capable of developing their psychic ability, this is not
the same as mediumship, where you can communicate with spirit, this
psychic ability is inherent to all of us and was designed as a
protective mechanism to keep us safe. Animals still use theirs, we have
just got out of the habit and in this day and age we do not use it for
survival. However some are more psychically aware than others so are
able to sense these entities on the Astral Planes. I might add it is the
Astral Plane that Psychics use as it is a lower vibration that the
ones used by Medium's when they communicate with loved ones in spirit.
Unfortunately
when you are developed or starting to develop this psychic ability,
it's almost as if you have a beacon above your head and these lower
entities can detect who can see them, so they get up to mischief and
have what is fun to them, hence the activity and experiences. Firstly
no being, no spirit can ever possess you, this is a myth put about by
various religious orders, that is simply nonsense, your spirit and your
spirit only is the only one who can inhabit your body, however if you
brainwash people into believing this, mass hysteria will prevail, it
just cannot happen I assure you, only you are in control of your body.
These entities can maybe give you a fright, but only if you let them,
they cannot harm you in anyway, you are in total control at all times.
So
what can you do about these experiences, well you have a choice, we
all do for remember no matter for whatever reason we came to earth to
experience we also have free will. So we can choose to develop our
experiences and many latent Mediums start off in this way, some don't
progress this far but do develop their psychic abilities, or we can
suppress and ignore these abilities, we all have free will. If you wish
to develop your ability, then its best to find a good development group
and many of these groups can be found in Spiritualist Churches, many
others can be found under the guidance of an experienced Medium. If you
do not want to take this ability any further that is fine also, but if
you do not want these experiences and disturbances, then you need to
refrain from reading and dabbling in psychic subjects and if you do get
disturbed you have to show no fear when these experiences happen. If
this doesn't work then simple table salt sprinkled in the corners of
rooms, should be enough to chase them away.
Supposing you will to follow the development path, well remember Universal Laws,
there is good and bad, there is a continual balancing of the Universe
and Like attracts like, the more spiritual you become the less likely
you are to be bothered in this way, if you have good and pure thoughts
and don't dwell on the lower side of life, you wont attract this type of
energy. At some point all developing Mediums will be shown the dark
side, it's a right of passage and I defy any Medium to say they haven't
experienced this. In order to understand good, you need to understand
the bad, so you can deal with it. How do we deal with the negative and
bad we do this through strength of mind for to chase away the bad we
need to do so with conviction. We develop strength of mind through the
art of Meditation. You will find the better we become in
meditating the stronger our minds become, so we are able to turn on and
off psychic and mediumistic abilities. We need to be able to do this so
we can deal with these entities and communicate more effectively with
the world of spirit and also it's very exhausting being tuned in all
the time, it uses a great deal of energy up. We also need to learn to
protect ourselves from negative energy as this can be terribly
exhausting too and you don't need to be a psychic or medium to benefit
from this. How many of you have a friend or associate who comes and
tells you all their troubles, they make you feel low and tired, of
course they go away feeling great, they've off loaded all their
negativity onto you. Simple exercises, simply by using visualisation can
make the world of a difference when dealing with these negative people
and protect us when entering negative surroundings.
One
of the simplest protection visualisation exercises is to simply
visualise you surround yourself in either golden or silver light, like
stepping into a sphere or egg shape and you seal it completely. Next
time you feel vulnerable or know you are meeting negative people try
this exercise and see how it makes a difference.

THE CHAKRAS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
THE CHAKRAS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
In a previous article I mentioned the Chrakras, the word Chakra comes from the Sanskrit meaning spinning wheel. The Chakras are energy centres and there are seven major and many minor ones, they are a link between the physical body and the subtle bodies or Aura. Their function is to channel Universal Energy (life force) from the Cosmos, where it is stored and assimilated by the body. Each Chakra in your spinal column is believed to influence or even govern bodily functions near its region of the spine. They cannot be seen however some Psychics have the ability to see them and are well documented in the traditions of the Far East.
The 7 major Chakras
Crown Chakra is located at the top of the head and its function is understanding. It's colour is violet and a corresponding crystal is Amethyst. It governs the pituitary gland, Cerebrum and surrounding tissues
Brow Chakra is located in the centre of the forehead just above the eyebrows. It's colour is indigo and crystal Iolite. It's function promotes thought and helps Psychic abilities. It governs the pineal gland and surrounding structures
Throat Chakra is located in the throat and functions are communication and creativity. It's colour is blue and crystal Sodalite. It governs the Thyroid and Parathyroids, communication area in the brain and surrounding structures.
Heart Chakra is located in the centre of the chest and functions are love and compassion. It's colour is green/pink so crystals such as Rose Quartz and Aventurine. It governs the Thymus and the heart and circulation.
Solar Plexus is located just above the navel, its function is will power, joy and anger, its colour is yellow and crystal Citrine. It governs the Pancreas and surrounding structures
Sacral Chakra is located in the lower abdomen and its functions are desire sexuality, pleasure and governs the genitals and surrounding tissues. It's colour is orange and crystal Carnelian.
Base Chakra is located at the base of the spine and its functions are grounding and survival and the surrounding tissues. It's colour is red and crystals associated are Ruby or Haematite
I will say and agree that there are many charlatans in my profession but equally there are many excellent psychic mediums too. However before you start to criticise us, you need to have a basic understanding of how the laws of the Universe work and also many so called Psychics will jump down my throat when I say this, "It's impossible to foretell the future". The genuine psychics and mediums amongst us will understand this, but let me explain.
We are all subject in life and after death to the laws of the Universe, namely there is cause and effect, every thought and deed we have and do will cause ripples of energy and effect others. One you will know well as 'Karma' i.e. you are accountable for all your actions and what you give out you will get back tenfold, us Spiritualists know this as 'Compensation and retribution for all souls'. To put it even simpler, if you bear bad thoughts and actions towards others you will have to pay for it either in this lifetime or in another but positively if you do good deeds and think positively for others you will be rewarded. Positive thoughts and deeds attract positivity and likewise negativity attracts negativity. This is known as the 'law of attraction'.
How this transpires is whilst we are in spirit before we incarnate, we know our faults and failings and WE choose to work on those to make our souls purer, so we choose experiences and challenges some of which is to payback for what we have done before. We also through every lifetime wish to experience all aspects of life, the good and the bad to enrich our souls and the older our soul the tougher the challenges these tend to be. But think about this, if we knew what was ahead of us in our lifetime, especially the not so good, would we wish to go through with it? probably not, so our memory is wiped from our 'physical mind' our souls however retain this memory and this can be explained as our 'higher self or intuition'. Life is not easy on Earth it was never intended to be for Earth is our classroom and we are all incarnated on Earth to learn and grow. We thus have this soul memory of what we need do, but the Universe and spirit want us to learn from our mistakes, they want us to choose for ourselves to learn willingly so they give us 'Free will'.
Now what has all this got to do with Psychics and Mediums? it is the 'Free will' that complicates readings, we can see your soul path, we are sensitive enough to attune to your souls, but we have no control over your 'Free will'. Sometimes our guides and helpers will only give some information and not the desperate information you long for, this is because, either there is a soul challenge for you or another party involved. So can you see how it is impossible to be 100% accurate. Guides will only give some information if it will not impinge YOUR chosen destiny. Our personal guides and helpers and loved ones in spirit want to help us get through those challenges, so they will help us meet like minded souls to help us along the way. This may be the understanding friend, who has been though these type of experiences themselves who in turn can support you through your soul lesson. Sometimes these people will be here for a few days, the transient or the long standing but rest assured Spirit will never let you fall so far you cannot get up.
One common criticism I see on these forums arise through ignorance, and that is, 'If psychics could tell the future they would know the lottery numbers' after all how many psychics do you know are lottery winners? The answer of course is none, not because we are rubbish psychics but because genuine psychics and mediums are old souls and we are working at becoming purer souls, our challenge is to experience as much as possible and I can guarantee the genuine psychics and mediums amongst us will have had a tough life. This is because we need to have experienced all those awful things so we can be supportive and understanding and be able to show empathy to others.
Only the ignorant, young souls would come out with this. Only the ignorant and young souls would liken psychic mediums to fortune tellers. Indeed Psychic Mediums are NOT fortune tellers we are here to empathise, support and guide YOU through your challenges and sometimes we are given snippets of the future but only if it won't affect your progress. Mediums on the other hand also give 'Survival Evidence' of life after physical death. The future is not written in stone, you make your own destiny, YOU chose it and YOU alone are responsible for it.
Now if there are psychic mediums out there who read this and disagree with what I'm saying, I would question their motives, the word 'Charlatan' comes to mind.

IGNORANT CRITICISIMS OF PSYCHICS
As a working psychic medium I feel I need to yet touch on this subject matter again owing to the forums I see on the internet and the ratings and feed back given to us in the profession.
FURTHER TO THE DEBATE ON PSYCHICS
I
forgot to address this query from the last post in depth so doing this
now. The following is part of the email in the last post received by
me
Quote: Psychics set up telephone hotlines to have you call
for a reading and you end up paying hundreds of dollars for it.
Psychics will tell you they are here to help, but if they truly wanted
to help they would do it for free. Unquote
My explanation: Psychics do
this for free, you are paying for their time not their advice, most of
the cost of these calls are taken up by the phone companies the lines
are rented from and agency overheads, the actual readers only receive a
tiny percentage of the fee. Because the psychics time is taken up
giving advice, it prevents then working in other occupations and the
vast majority of these psychic advisers are highly trained counsellors
with professional qualifications. Would you expect to go to a therapist
and get this service for free? Oh I admit like any other profession
there are poor psychics, some being charlatans however if you go to a
reputable agency and there are a few highly respected and reliable ones
out there, who take the care to vet and test the psychics and mediums
on their books. you wont have any problems. A medium's job is to give
you evidence of survival to prove to you the spirit he/she is
communicating with is someone you recognise, this is done by describing
their appearance, their character, what ailment caused their death,
their relationship to you and hopefully their name. We try and find out
some facts only be known to the client such as describing a situation
around you.
This takes up a great deal of energy to do this and it takes time and
counselling advice is given too. I might add that a good counsellor only
makes a client aware of their choices and does not tell the client
what to do and listens and empathises with the client. And you want all
of this for free?
When entering a debate its essential to firstly get your facts right and
give the other you are debating with a chance to challenge your debate
as this makes the view unbalanced, bias and prejudiced
AURA READING
This is an Aura photograph taken by a specialised camera. Aura cameras have come a long way since the first Kirlian camera in the 1970's.
The Aura is an electromagnetic field that surrounds living bodies, this includes people, animals, plants and crystals and is composed of several layers that are constantly moving. For those of us who are lucky enough to see auras here is a photo of one. The colours are influenced by our moods and emotions and by Spirit activity, likewise our moods and emotions will influence how far our aura expands e.g. when we are happy our aura expands and when we are depressed it shrinks in on itself. Other shapes and bubbles within the aura are common. It is on the aura that psychics base their readings for the past, present and future is contained within it.
VIEWING THE ETHERIC BODY
A PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE
I was born being able to see the Aura and I can now switch it on and off, which is just as well really but in this exercise I am going to try and explain how you can see this for yourself. When you begin to be able to view the Aura, you generally see the Etheric Body, there are several layers and this layer is closest to the physical body and is a complete blueprint of your physical body. If you have had organs or limbs removed they will still be present in your Etheric Body.
You will need at least one other person to do this exercise, they can be standing or sitting it doesn't matter however you will need to get them to stand or sit in front of a plain coloured wall. Some people prefer a light coloured wall others a dark, it's what works best for you and you can try both.
With your partner placed in front of the wall and it doesn't matter if they are facing you or facing away open your eyes wide, now its a bit difficult to describe but you have to allow your eyes to go floppy and to let your vision relax as if day dreaming and out of focus, but here is the tricky part. You stare at your partner until it gets uncomfortable and just before you have to blink you will get a perfect view of the Etheric body. Now this layer has a distinctive beautiful colour that radiates from the physical. I wont lead you on and tell you what colour it is as I want you to see this for yourself. After you have practised this a few times you will be able to view this layer a lot easier.
You can leave me a comment below what you actually view. It's not just humans who have an Aura but all animals and plants do too as do crystals who have some of the most beautiful. The illustration here will give you a rough idea how far this layer emulates from the body
" Life has many lessons, a lot of them we do not understand at the time we face them, but they all have a purpose. These lessons are only to help us grow and get stronger. Never stress over things that come up in life that are out of your control. Just know there is victory in the end. If you learn the lesson the first time, you will not have to repeat it over and over again."
" Life has many lessons, a lot of them we do not understand at the time we face them, but they all have a purpose. These lessons are only to help us grow and get stronger. Never stress over things that come up in life that are out of your control. Just know there is victory in the end. If you learn the lesson the first time, you will not have to repeat it over and over again."
TOUGH TIMES
" There will always be times of adversity when we shall be tested and brought to the brink of despair and fear. At times like these, we may be tempted to forgo the ideals and principles that we hold dear. Yet, it is precisely at times like these that we must hold on to those ideals and principles tighter than ever. Ideals and principles are meant to be honoured because they are ideals and principles, and it is during the darkness of despair that we look to our ideals and principles as beacons of hope during our voyage across the stormy seas of challenge and adversity."
This is so true we only realise how far we have come when we look back on our lives, then and only then do we see the bigger picture for at the time we cannot see the wood for the trees. It's only we we have come through adversity that we realise just how strong we have become. This is not designed to make us hardened in life but to enable us to support and give strength and comfort to those around us, whom who's paths we inadvertently come across, to be able to show empathy and understanding.
Never forget we will always meet others on our paths who are there to help us. When the days are long and dark and our struggles seem endless, we will never be alone to face pain and adversity. The Universe is kind.
Sometimes we need to be taken so low, but this is for our growth, but you will never be taken so low you cannot rise. Have faith, trust and the strength and support we need will be there always
Ideally
carried out as a group but this exercise needs a minimum of two people.
Divide the group into pairs and one of the pair sits on a chair close
to and facing the wall. The second person stands several feet away and
to allow the second person to have an indication of how detecting the
aura feels like ask them to rub their hands together then pull them
slowly apart, there will be a tingling sensation and as the hands are
pulled apart and pushed together, there will be a bit of a bounce like
you are playing with an invisible ball.
With
the first person facing the wall, ask the person sitting on the chair
to think of very happy thoughts and concentrate on this. The second
person with hands outstretched walks forward to the seated person, being
alert and aware of any tingling warm, cool sensations. When these are
detected stop and notice how far away the second person is away from the
seated person. With the sensation detected, like the invisible ball
before the second person should be able to push and pull gently what
they are feeling.
Repeat
the exercise above but this time ask the seated person to think of
something very sad and focus of being negative. Note this time how far
the second person is away from the seated person.
Swap over and repeat the two steps above. What have you noticed? there should be a consistency, what is it?
FLOWER READING
Now
this is a fun activity and what you need for this activity is a bunch
of assorted flowers, they can be wild ones, ones from the garden, even
weeds will do, it really doesn't matter. Do to a flower reading you
have to let your mind go floppy and just go with the first thing that
comes into your head. It's the very first words, thoughts ideas and it
will come very fast, it you have to think about it, then its your own
rational mind thinking about it and not your intuition.
So
you have a vase of assorted flowers in a vase and in a group you can
all take turns reading for each other. Everyone picks a flower at
random and the person doing the flower reading takes the flower from
the person who picked it and allows their intuition to pick up random
thoughts, don't worry about what comes, just allow it to flow.
Below
is some examples of the kind of things you may pick up allow the
flower to give you ideas, you are using the flower as a mantic tool, a
vehicle for the reading.
Now
I'm not sure what this flower is but it doesn't matter, use what you
have, the clues are very subtle but they are there and the Universe is
very clever.
I
feel this person can be quite shy, its not that they are secretive,
there's nothing devious there purely because they lack confidence in
what their abilities (I am using the flower that is half closed and has
a deeper more detailed inner and the colour of white that denotes
innocence as my key here) I feel that this person is very spiritual but
they lack the confidence in their ability. I also feel this person is
quite neat, tidy and organised (again I am using the detailed centre to
give me the inspiration for this reading) I am also drawn the large
amount of green leaves surrounding this flower and in fact the radiate
around the flower like a halo. Green is often associated with healing
and the caring professions so I feel this person cares for others and
possibly in one of the caring professions like nursing or even teaching
and the have a natural healing aura about them. (Again I am using what
I have here to use in the reading) I am sure you will get the idea,
don't be frightened to say what first comes to you.
You
don't even have to use real flowers, you can use pictures of flowers
whereby each of the group takes a picture from an assorted pile of
flower pictures. The Universe is very clever how it works. We all have
this ability, this is merely a tool to help us link into our inherent
psychic abilities.
SMUDGING WHAT IS IT? AND WHY DO IT?
Sage & Sweetgrass with Abalone shell
Smudging what is it? and why do it?
In an earlier article I talked about Universal law, in order to understand why smudge you will have read about Universal Laws, if not click on the link below.
The Law of Vibration and Attraction-
* Everything vibrates, nothing rests.
* Conscious awareness of vibration is called feeling. Your thoughts control your paradigms and your vibration (which dictates what you attract).
* When you are not feeling good, become aware of what you are thinking, then think of something pleasant. In other words negativity attracts negativity and likewise positivity attracts positivity
Well over time energy builds up, every time we think, we create a 'thoughtform' this thoughtform is energy and it become tangible, in other words it creates an effect. When you think how many thoughts you have in a day, you can see that is an awful lot of energy built up. What is worse when you get into a negative state of mind and you worry you put all this negative energy out in to your surroundings and because of the "The law of vibration and attraction" negative attracts negative, so this energy builds up and attracts even more and before you know it you worry even more, you attract back luck into your life and its a hard cycle to get out off. So what do you do. Well first no matter what you focus on the positive but that alone is not easy, you need to give your surroundings a bit of a helping hand hence 'Smudging'
Before you begin smudging to help attract positive energy around you need to de-clutter and clear out and tidy up. Any dead or dying houseplants/flowers have got to go. Empty bins and get rid of belongings that no longer serve you well, if you haven't worn it or used it for a year chances are you wont ever, so recycle it. Do the laundry, and tidy and clean your home, you can now smudge your surroundings.
Some people like to have a regular schedule for smudging and you don't have to stop at homes, you can work on people (if they allow it) yourself and your possessions. It's a good idea if you feel the energy in your home has changed or you are feeling down to smudge. There are many methods and the traditional method is with sage and sweet grass and an abalone shell and with a feather. You light the sage and sweet grass bundle blow on it till smouldering and carry it in the abalone shell, this will induce smoke. The feather is used to waft the smoke to the areas you wish to smoke, remember you are dealing with a naked flame so be sensible and don't use it near combustible materials or gas sources etc. You can use incense Frankincense is ideal or a bell or even clap your hands if you have nothing available to hand. What is important is the intent. You are smudging to remove negative energy and attract positive energy in its place.
With rooms, homes, after you have de cluttered and cleaned, in each corner of each room, either waft the smoke, ring the bell or clap and with your mind focused and with intent ask that the negative energy is changed into positive energy. The reason I say changed if you simply ask for the negative energy to be removed, you are moving it out into the atmosphere and sending it to someone else.
You may find you have a bit of interference from Lower Elementals.
The universe has its own vibration, Earth having the lowest in spiritual terms. After Earth comes the Astral realm, it is on this realm that we travel when we dream, its not unusual to see friends etc, in dream state, after all they will be traveling this realm too at night lol. It is on this realm where lower Elementals reside, i.e. wood nymphs, nature spirits, elves and fairies amongst others, and as often as in the case spirit who are trapped unable to move on also reside in this vibration. this is the same vibration used in psychic work. There are several spiritual realms each having a different vibration, with the most Celestial where the realms of the Angels are.
These entities live in the lower astral realms and they feed on negative energy, like everything else there is balance in the Universe, cause and effect, good and bad, so obviously they do not like the shift in negative energy, so you may find light bulbs will blow, computers act up, it will pass, focus on the positive and visualise this positive energy flowing throughout your home.
When it comes to smudging people and possessions its basically the same technique wafting the smoke around yourself and visualising covering you and washing and cleansing all the negative energy into positive energy, same with the bell, its often easier to get a helper to do this for you, remember the key is by thought and intent.
If you use incense or sage and sweet grass be careful when dealing with flames.
You should notice a difference almost immediately the atmosphere will feel lighter and you may get a sudden energy rush.RECOMMENDED

PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT 1.
In
my many years of working with Spirit and it has been a lifetime, often
I am asked about disturbing dreams or experiences, when waking in the
night or just drifting off to sleep. These often manifest as
frightening faces, or eyes or a sensation you are being attacked. These
experiences tend to come when you are very tired and off guard. These
experiences are typical of the activities of lower entities and elementals that inhabit the astral plane. The Astral plane is the closest vibration of the several spiritual realms, to earth and it is on this realm we travel when we sleep.
Now
everybody is capable of developing their psychic ability, this is not
the same as mediumship, where you can communicate with spirit, this
psychic ability is inherent to all of us and was designed as a
protective mechanism to keep us safe. Animals still use theirs, we have
just got out of the habit and in this day and age we do not use it for
survival. However some are more psychically aware than others so are
able to sense these entities on the Astral Planes. I might add it is the
Astral Plane that Psychics use as it is a lower vibration that the
ones used by Medium's when they communicate with loved ones in spirit.
Unfortunately
when you are developed or starting to develop this psychic ability,
it's almost as if you have a beacon above your head and these lower
entities can detect who can see them, so they get up to mischief and
have what is fun to them, hence the activity and experiences. Firstly
no being, no spirit can ever possess you, this is a myth put about by
various religious orders, that is simply nonsense, your spirit and your
spirit only is the only one who can inhabit your body, however if you
brainwash people into believing this, mass hysteria will prevail, it
just cannot happen I assure you, only you are in control of your body.
These entities can maybe give you a fright, but only if you let them,
they cannot harm you in anyway, you are in total control at all times.
So
what can you do about these experiences, well you have a choice, we
all do for remember no matter for whatever reason we came to earth to
experience we also have free will. So we can choose to develop our
experiences and many latent Mediums start off in this way, some don't
progress this far but do develop their psychic abilities, or we can
suppress and ignore these abilities, we all have free will. If you wish
to develop your ability, then its best to find a good development group
and many of these groups can be found in Spiritualist Churches, many
others can be found under the guidance of an experienced Medium. If you
do not want to take this ability any further that is fine also, but if
you do not want these experiences and disturbances, then you need to
refrain from reading and dabbling in psychic subjects and if you do get
disturbed you have to show no fear when these experiences happen. If
this doesn't work then simple table salt sprinkled in the corners of
rooms, should be enough to chase them away.
Supposing you will to follow the development path, well remember Universal Laws,
there is good and bad, there is a continual balancing of the Universe
and Like attracts like, the more spiritual you become the less likely
you are to be bothered in this way, if you have good and pure thoughts
and don't dwell on the lower side of life, you wont attract this type of
energy. At some point all developing Mediums will be shown the dark
side, it's a right of passage and I defy any Medium to say they haven't
experienced this. In order to understand good, you need to understand
the bad, so you can deal with it. How do we deal with the negative and
bad we do this through strength of mind for to chase away the bad we
need to do so with conviction. We develop strength of mind through the
art of Meditation. You will find the better we become in
meditating the stronger our minds become, so we are able to turn on and
off psychic and mediumistic abilities. We need to be able to do this so
we can deal with these entities and communicate more effectively with
the world of spirit and also it's very exhausting being tuned in all
the time, it uses a great deal of energy up. We also need to learn to
protect ourselves from negative energy as this can be terribly
exhausting too and you don't need to be a psychic or medium to benefit
from this. How many of you have a friend or associate who comes and
tells you all their troubles, they make you feel low and tired, of
course they go away feeling great, they've off loaded all their
negativity onto you. Simple exercises, simply by using visualisation can
make the world of a difference when dealing with these negative people
and protect us when entering negative surroundings.
One
of the simplest protection visualisation exercises is to simply
visualise you surround yourself in either golden or silver light, like
stepping into a sphere or egg shape and you seal it completely. Next
time you feel vulnerable or know you are meeting negative people try
this exercise and see how it makes a difference.

THE CHAKRAS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
THE CHAKRAS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
In a previous article I mentioned the Chrakras, the word Chakra comes from the Sanskrit meaning spinning wheel. The Chakras are energy centres and there are seven major and many minor ones, they are a link between the physical body and the subtle bodies or Aura. Their function is to channel Universal Energy (life force) from the Cosmos, where it is stored and assimilated by the body. Each Chakra in your spinal column is believed to influence or even govern bodily functions near its region of the spine. They cannot be seen however some Psychics have the ability to see them and are well documented in the traditions of the Far East.
The 7 major Chakras
Crown Chakra is located at the top of the head and its function is understanding. It's colour is violet and a corresponding crystal is Amethyst. It governs the pituitary gland, Cerebrum and surrounding tissues
Brow Chakra is located in the centre of the forehead just above the eyebrows. It's colour is indigo and crystal Iolite. It's function promotes thought and helps Psychic abilities. It governs the pineal gland and surrounding structures
Throat Chakra is located in the throat and functions are communication and creativity. It's colour is blue and crystal Sodalite. It governs the Thyroid and Parathyroids, communication area in the brain and surrounding structures.
Heart Chakra is located in the centre of the chest and functions are love and compassion. It's colour is green/pink so crystals such as Rose Quartz and Aventurine. It governs the Thymus and the heart and circulation.
Solar Plexus is located just above the navel, its function is will power, joy and anger, its colour is yellow and crystal Citrine. It governs the Pancreas and surrounding structures
Sacral Chakra is located in the lower abdomen and its functions are desire sexuality, pleasure and governs the genitals and surrounding tissues. It's colour is orange and crystal Carnelian.
Base Chakra is located at the base of the spine and its functions are grounding and survival and the surrounding tissues. It's colour is red and crystals associated are Ruby or Haematite
I will say and agree that there are many charlatans in my profession but equally there are many excellent psychic mediums too. However before you start to criticise us, you need to have a basic understanding of how the laws of the Universe work and also many so called Psychics will jump down my throat when I say this, "It's impossible to foretell the future". The genuine psychics and mediums amongst us will understand this, but let me explain.
We are all subject in life and after death to the laws of the Universe, namely there is cause and effect, every thought and deed we have and do will cause ripples of energy and effect others. One you will know well as 'Karma' i.e. you are accountable for all your actions and what you give out you will get back tenfold, us Spiritualists know this as 'Compensation and retribution for all souls'. To put it even simpler, if you bear bad thoughts and actions towards others you will have to pay for it either in this lifetime or in another but positively if you do good deeds and think positively for others you will be rewarded. Positive thoughts and deeds attract positivity and likewise negativity attracts negativity. This is known as the 'law of attraction'.
How this transpires is whilst we are in spirit before we incarnate, we know our faults and failings and WE choose to work on those to make our souls purer, so we choose experiences and challenges some of which is to payback for what we have done before. We also through every lifetime wish to experience all aspects of life, the good and the bad to enrich our souls and the older our soul the tougher the challenges these tend to be. But think about this, if we knew what was ahead of us in our lifetime, especially the not so good, would we wish to go through with it? probably not, so our memory is wiped from our 'physical mind' our souls however retain this memory and this can be explained as our 'higher self or intuition'. Life is not easy on Earth it was never intended to be for Earth is our classroom and we are all incarnated on Earth to learn and grow. We thus have this soul memory of what we need do, but the Universe and spirit want us to learn from our mistakes, they want us to choose for ourselves to learn willingly so they give us 'Free will'.
Now what has all this got to do with Psychics and Mediums? it is the 'Free will' that complicates readings, we can see your soul path, we are sensitive enough to attune to your souls, but we have no control over your 'Free will'. Sometimes our guides and helpers will only give some information and not the desperate information you long for, this is because, either there is a soul challenge for you or another party involved. So can you see how it is impossible to be 100% accurate. Guides will only give some information if it will not impinge YOUR chosen destiny. Our personal guides and helpers and loved ones in spirit want to help us get through those challenges, so they will help us meet like minded souls to help us along the way. This may be the understanding friend, who has been though these type of experiences themselves who in turn can support you through your soul lesson. Sometimes these people will be here for a few days, the transient or the long standing but rest assured Spirit will never let you fall so far you cannot get up.
One common criticism I see on these forums arise through ignorance, and that is, 'If psychics could tell the future they would know the lottery numbers' after all how many psychics do you know are lottery winners? The answer of course is none, not because we are rubbish psychics but because genuine psychics and mediums are old souls and we are working at becoming purer souls, our challenge is to experience as much as possible and I can guarantee the genuine psychics and mediums amongst us will have had a tough life. This is because we need to have experienced all those awful things so we can be supportive and understanding and be able to show empathy to others.
Only the ignorant, young souls would come out with this. Only the ignorant and young souls would liken psychic mediums to fortune tellers. Indeed Psychic Mediums are NOT fortune tellers we are here to empathise, support and guide YOU through your challenges and sometimes we are given snippets of the future but only if it won't affect your progress. Mediums on the other hand also give 'Survival Evidence' of life after physical death. The future is not written in stone, you make your own destiny, YOU chose it and YOU alone are responsible for it.
Now if there are psychic mediums out there who read this and disagree with what I'm saying, I would question their motives, the word 'Charlatan' comes to mind.

IGNORANT CRITICISIMS OF PSYCHICS
As a working psychic medium I feel I need to yet touch on this subject matter again owing to the forums I see on the internet and the ratings and feed back given to us in the profession.
FURTHER TO THE DEBATE ON PSYCHICS
I
forgot to address this query from the last post in depth so doing this
now. The following is part of the email in the last post received by
me
Quote: Psychics set up telephone hotlines to have you call
for a reading and you end up paying hundreds of dollars for it.
Psychics will tell you they are here to help, but if they truly wanted
to help they would do it for free. Unquote
My explanation: Psychics do
this for free, you are paying for their time not their advice, most of
the cost of these calls are taken up by the phone companies the lines
are rented from and agency overheads, the actual readers only receive a
tiny percentage of the fee. Because the psychics time is taken up
giving advice, it prevents then working in other occupations and the
vast majority of these psychic advisers are highly trained counsellors
with professional qualifications. Would you expect to go to a therapist
and get this service for free? Oh I admit like any other profession
there are poor psychics, some being charlatans however if you go to a
reputable agency and there are a few highly respected and reliable ones
out there, who take the care to vet and test the psychics and mediums
on their books. you wont have any problems. A medium's job is to give
you evidence of survival to prove to you the spirit he/she is
communicating with is someone you recognise, this is done by describing
their appearance, their character, what ailment caused their death,
their relationship to you and hopefully their name. We try and find out
some facts only be known to the client such as describing a situation
around you.
This takes up a great deal of energy to do this and it takes time and
counselling advice is given too. I might add that a good counsellor only
makes a client aware of their choices and does not tell the client
what to do and listens and empathises with the client. And you want all
of this for free?
When entering a debate its essential to firstly get your facts right and
give the other you are debating with a chance to challenge your debate
as this makes the view unbalanced, bias and prejudiced
AURA READING
VIEWING THE ETHERIC BODY
This is an Aura photograph taken by a specialised camera. Aura cameras have come a long way since the first Kirlian camera in the 1970's.
The Aura is an electromagnetic field that surrounds living bodies, this includes people, animals, plants and crystals and is composed of several layers that are constantly moving. For those of us who are lucky enough to see auras here is a photo of one. The colours are influenced by our moods and emotions and by Spirit activity, likewise our moods and emotions will influence how far our aura expands e.g. when we are happy our aura expands and when we are depressed it shrinks in on itself. Other shapes and bubbles within the aura are common. It is on the aura that psychics base their readings for the past, present and future is contained within it.
VIEWING THE ETHERIC BODY
A PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE
I was born being able to see the Aura and I can now switch it on and off, which is just as well really but in this exercise I am going to try and explain how you can see this for yourself. When you begin to be able to view the Aura, you generally see the Etheric Body, there are several layers and this layer is closest to the physical body and is a complete blueprint of your physical body. If you have had organs or limbs removed they will still be present in your Etheric Body.
You will need at least one other person to do this exercise, they can be standing or sitting it doesn't matter however you will need to get them to stand or sit in front of a plain coloured wall. Some people prefer a light coloured wall others a dark, it's what works best for you and you can try both.
With your partner placed in front of the wall and it doesn't matter if they are facing you or facing away open your eyes wide, now its a bit difficult to describe but you have to allow your eyes to go floppy and to let your vision relax as if day dreaming and out of focus, but here is the tricky part. You stare at your partner until it gets uncomfortable and just before you have to blink you will get a perfect view of the Etheric body. Now this layer has a distinctive beautiful colour that radiates from the physical. I wont lead you on and tell you what colour it is as I want you to see this for yourself. After you have practised this a few times you will be able to view this layer a lot easier.
You can leave me a comment below what you actually view. It's not just humans who have an Aura but all animals and plants do too as do crystals who have some of the most beautiful. The illustration here will give you a rough idea how far this layer emulates from the body
" Life has many lessons, a lot of them we do not understand at the time we face them, but they all have a purpose. These lessons are only to help us grow and get stronger. Never stress over things that come up in life that are out of your control. Just know there is victory in the end. If you learn the lesson the first time, you will not have to repeat it over and over again."
" Life has many lessons, a lot of them we do not understand at the time we face them, but they all have a purpose. These lessons are only to help us grow and get stronger. Never stress over things that come up in life that are out of your control. Just know there is victory in the end. If you learn the lesson the first time, you will not have to repeat it over and over again."
TOUGH TIMES
" There will always be times of adversity when we shall be tested and brought to the brink of despair and fear. At times like these, we may be tempted to forgo the ideals and principles that we hold dear. Yet, it is precisely at times like these that we must hold on to those ideals and principles tighter than ever. Ideals and principles are meant to be honoured because they are ideals and principles, and it is during the darkness of despair that we look to our ideals and principles as beacons of hope during our voyage across the stormy seas of challenge and adversity."
This is so true we only realise how far we have come when we look back on our lives, then and only then do we see the bigger picture for at the time we cannot see the wood for the trees. It's only we we have come through adversity that we realise just how strong we have become. This is not designed to make us hardened in life but to enable us to support and give strength and comfort to those around us, whom who's paths we inadvertently come across, to be able to show empathy and understanding.
Never forget we will always meet others on our paths who are there to help us. When the days are long and dark and our struggles seem endless, we will never be alone to face pain and adversity. The Universe is kind.
Sometimes we need to be taken so low, but this is for our growth, but you will never be taken so low you cannot rise. Have faith, trust and the strength and support we need will be there always
SPIRIT COMMUNICATION~SPIRIT SHORTHAND
 | |
| WHEN I SEE A BLACKBIRD ON A BARE TREE I WILL KNOW THEY MEAN WINTER |
SPIRIT SHORTHAND
Sometimes
when Mediums are relaying messages from spirit they receive what is
best described as spirit shorthand. If you have had a reading from a
Medium they may mention they have seen a bird, or a black cat etc. This
does not mean you have a guide who is a bird or a cat or even the
spirits are of deceased pets. For example when I am asked to give a
time frame for something that is coming up in the person's life I am
reading for, I am often presented with a blackbird sitting in a beech
tree. If the black bird is singing and the leaves are newly opened I
know, spirit are trying to convey to me it's Spring as the blackbird
only sings from March till June, as in the case of the sign I may have
if the tree has rich green leaves and the blackbird is not singing, I
will know spirit are trying to convey to me it's summer. Likewise if I
am given a picture of a blackbird is sitting on the tree and the leaves
are falling etc. I will know, they mean Autumn. For some Mediums
seeing a symbol of a bird can mean news is coming our way, every Medium
is different and we all have our own shorthand of symbols.
Why
this is? well spirit vibrations are very fast and they communicate
with me in a variety of fashions, every spirit communicator is different
like every personality on earth. The voice I hear can come in very
fast so it's often reinforced with spirit shorthand to aid
communication. Sometimes a whole communication is entirely made up of
symbols in this way other times its completely auditory others are
entirely visual with spirit actually signing or holding up a blackboard
or by pointing at their body to convey what they passed with. Other
times its completely by feeling but mostly they communicate by a
mixture of everything.
The symbols and shorthand we
develop is an entirely individual thing, no one Medium will have the
same, don't ask me how I know which symbol means what, I just know and
likewise for the developing Medium they too will develop their own
understood form of spirit shorthand. Spirit will make use of all of the
Medium's senses to convey a message to loved ones on earth, all the
Medium has to do, is just trust what they are getting and allow their
own intuition to guide them.
DOWSING
What is Dowsing?
It
is the ability to use our natural sensitivity our intuition , which we
all possess, that enables us to know things, to locate things which we
cannot know or do by using our conscious mind, or by learning, or by
experience, or by using the five physical senses which we are born with
in effect it enables us to tap into our sixth sense our intuition, our
inherent psychic ability we all possess. Dowsing enables us to locate
anything in the world without having to travel there. Distance, depth,
height, date, location don't seem to make any difference
How Does it Work?
The short answer is
that no-one really knows – it just does!.
There is very
little in the physical world which cannot be found by dowsing and there
are many answers we can find out by dowsing with practice
It can help locate
- Water: The location of underground streams at any depth, water pipes etc
- Minerals – Precious Stones: Their location and depth
- Oil – Gas: The location of oil deposits under the land or the sea and the depth below the surface and an estimate of the quantity and the quality, also the porosity of the rock strata in which it lays.
- Archaeology: The location of unknown sites where nothing shows on the surface of the ground.
- The location of sunken ships and submarines:
- Building Sites: Examination for all purposes, the water runs underneath them, rock state, soil state, rock faults, old wells, cavities, cellars, drains, sewers, cables and pipes and so on – especially if it is intended to build on that site.
- Location of pipes, cables and drains: The line of the run, depth, location of fractured pipes, broken cables, leaks and blockages. It is particularly to farmers for searching for old or lost field drains and tracing water supplies from farm to field and field to field for animal drinking troughs and so on.
- Location of tunnels, caves, lost mine workings: The demarcation, size and depth of them and flooding.
- Lost articles: Valuables, car keys, rings, brooches, purses, wallets to name but a few.
- Missing people: This is one of the most difficult tasks owing to the difficulty of identification and should be undertaken with care and careful preparation – bear in mind that some people deliberately ‘disappear’ for their own personal reasons and have no wish to be found.
- Tracking lost animals or children or perhaps someone elderly and confused in areas of ,say, woodland:
- Medical: A number of qualified doctors and others are increasingly using dowsing techniques to assist in diagnosis and the selection of remedies.
- Animals: Pendulum dowsing can be used to locate health problems in animals and help in the selection of remedies. The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons accepts this course of action providing the services of a vet are called for if it is considered that the animal needs professional help.
What do I need to be able to dowse?
The pendulum:
This is a simple weight on the end of a piece of cord or light chain, a
key on the end of a bit of cord to a ring or a crystal. I use a piece
of hazel twig for indoor working and a heavier crystal for out doors,
simply because you need something that will be heavy enough not to be
blown around by the wind. The pendulum is the most versatile tool for
use in ‘map dowsing’ and straight question and answer type of dowsing.
Before asking a question when dowsing double check but asking a
question you know the answer to. e.g. ask the pendulum to give you a
yes and it will swing in a particular way with me it is clockwise and
and I also ask an obvious question is my name and give your name, this
way you are checking the direction of the answer. For me no it swings
anti clockwise and if its not a suitable time to ask or if the question
is not understood it will swing backwards and forwards
Angle rods:
The easiest and simplest of all tools to use. They are just lengths
of wire bent at right angles and can be made quite easily from old
metal coat-hangers, and cut them so that the top
is about 9 to 12 inches long and from the angle towards the hook for
hanging, about 4 to 5 inches long, then, having cut it, bend the angle
to 90 degrees. The short length is held in the hand as the handle
Wands:
These are just springy lengths of thin branch about 36 inches long and
are ideal for dowsing up a wall, for example following the path of an
old chimney – these tend to meander up the walls of old houses. A
modern materials are taking over and the usual wand is a 36 inch length
of fairly thin plastic.
When
you dowse focus on the object you are trying to locate and don't tense
up keep relaxed so as you don't interfere consciously with the tool
you are using. When you are trying to locate something you have lost in
your home make a list of questions that can be answered by yes or no.
and go through the list methodically e.g. is my lost ring in the
bedroom, is it in the living room until you narrow it down, when you
have double checked this answer break it down further divide the room
into sections and again ask the questions is it in this quarter of the
room until you have narrowed it to enable a through search of the area.
Like all skills it needs practise.
SCRYING
Scrying
is a practice that involves seeing things psychically in an object
usually for purposes of obtaining spiritual visions and less often for
purposes of divination. The most common objects used are reflective,
translucent, or luminescent substances such as crystals, stones, glass,
mirrors, water, fire, or smoke. Scrying has been used in many cultures
as a means of divining the past, present, or future. Depending on the
culture and practice, the visions that come when one stares into the
objects are thought to come from God, spirits, the psychic or the
subconscious.
Although
scrying is most commonly done with a crystal ball, it may also be
performed using any smooth surface, such as a bowl of liquid, a pond,
or a crystal. When I am reading tarot I use a combination method for
divining the cards, I am aware of the basic meanings of each card but I
take this on to a much deeper level by scrying the illustrations on the
cards themselves. In actual fact Scrying doesn't just stop at water,
glass, smoke etc. tea leaves, coffee grounds, sand ,candle flames and a
fire even the clouds can be used.
Scrying
has be used by many cultures and belief systems and is not limited to
one tradition or ideology, like other aspects of divination and
parapsychology, scrying is not supported by mainstream science as a
method of predicting the future or otherwise seeing events that are not
physically observable.
The
visions that scryers say they see may come from variations in the
object used. If the object used is water (hydromancy), then the visions
may come from the colour, ebb and flow, or ripples produced by pebbles
dropped in a pool. If the object used is a crystal ball, the visions
may come from the tiny scratches, marks, faults, or the cloudy glow
within the ball under low light (e.g., candlelight). One method of
scrying using a crystal ball involves a self-induced trance and when in
this state it is perceived to be able to tap into our subconscious
mind or higher self and be able to key into psychic vibrations and
Universal knowledge
One
of the most famous scryers in history, lived in the 16th century and
was known as Nostradamus. He used a bowl of water or a "magic mirror"
to "see" the future in it, while he was in trance.
CARD READINGS
Many
people think you can only use Tarot cards for readings, not so you can
use ordinary playing cards however you will need to have meanings for
the different cards and indeed regular playing cards are descended from
Tarot. Most people who use playing cards for readings tend to give
them the same meanings as the Tarot. There are many decks you can use
from Irish Fairy cards to Dolphin and Unicorn cards. Many come with a
guide as to how to use them but my advice is to put the book to one
side and look at the illustrations on the cards taking in the colours
you see and the images are you drawn to some part of the image, does
something stand out and to always go with the first words and symbols
that come into your head. I have used these Irish Fairy cards myself in
my classes with students and they have certainly brought some love and
laughter into the readings and classes
PSYCHOMETRY
PSYCHOMETRY READING OBJECTS THROUGH TOUCH
PSYCHOMETRY
is reading objects and picking up information from the person to whom
it belonged or has touched. We all have an electromagnetic around us
commonly known as the Aura and within this Aura psychics can pick up
vibrations that give information about that person's past, present and
future. Every time we touch an object we leave a trace of that
information upon it. Obviously the longer the person has touched it the
better as more information can be gleamed in this way. The object can
be anything from jewellery to clothing it really does not matter.
However the more exclusive the object to the person the psychic is
trying to gleam information about the better, for if many people have
touched it too, the information can become a bit confusing as their can
be traces of others aura on it.
Many Mediums will
begin readings by psychometry focusing on the person having the reading
on the psychic vibration as it helps the Medium connect, once that
connection has been made its often easier to then raise the vibration
and obtain a spiritual link
MEDITATION 1. (A guided meditation)
A GUIDED MEDITATION/VISUALISATION
When
you start to develop psychically it is essential to have good mind
control, this is because and if you have read earlier articles by me,
you may find yourself being harassed by lower entities and possibly
souls who are trapped in the Astral Plane. The Astral Plane is where we
go when we are asleep. When you start to open up psychically its akin
to having a flashing beacon above your head and these lower entities
will home in on you for they know you are inexperienced and will cause
mischief. Remember nothing can possess you nor take over your body nor
harm you in anyway however they can give you a fright. As you develop
stronger you will need to develop mind control in order that you can
open up at will psychically and close down so you are not disturbed
and one of the ways we do this is by Meditation and Visualisation.
Before beginning your meditation ask that your guides look after you and protect you.
The
following is an example of a routine, you can do this in a group with
other like minded souls or you can record yourself reading out the
following accompanied by gentle soft music. You will need a comfortable
chair one that is upright so that your feet also touch the floor. Your
spine should be straight to allow Universal energy through the chakras
and both feet need to be firmly on the floor.
" I want
you to focus on your breathing take some slow deep breaths, and loosen
your shoulders and have your hands loosely placed on your lap. Gently
close your eyes. Now breath in slowly through your nose and out via the
mouth but make your out breath slower than your in breath do this a
few times. Anything that pops into to your head, any worries, don't
ignore it but rather acknowledge them and put them to one side all the
while focusing on your breathing, slowly in through the nose and ever
slower out the mouth. With every breath you take you find your
shoulders dropping and you become more and more relaxed. Should anything
pop into your head again acknowledge it and come back to focussing on
your breathing.
Now I want you to visualise there is a
tiny white light just above the crown on your head, it does not matter
if you cannot see this, just accept there is and know this is so.
Visualise with every breath you take the light becomes brighter and
brighter, its a pure bright sparkling light and gradually that light
gets bigger and brighter. Now imagine your body is made of glass and
from now on every breath you take you breathe in this pure white and
sparkling light going all the way from the crown of your head to each
toe. The light is pure and cleansing and you become more and more
relaxed and at ease. All the while breathing in slowing and allowing
the pure white and cleansing light to fill up your body.
When
your body is completely full of this pure white light visualise the
light becomes brighter and slowly fills up the room in which you are
sitting from the floor all the way up to the ceiling. You are full of
bright white light, surrounded in pure white light and feel light and
cushioned and wrapped up in white light, you feel relaxed and at ease.
Knowing you are protected and loved by spirit. Remember to come back to
your breathing should your mind start to wander.
When
the room is entirely full of this pure white light imagine you are
floating and cushioned and protected by the white light you begin to
rise on the chair you are sitting being carried high and higher by this
pure white light out through the roof of the building in which you were
sitting. Higher and higher you go, protected loved and surrounded by
the white light focussing on your breathing rising higher into the sky
high above the white clouds you drift allowing the white light to carry
you to the most wonderful place of peace and tranquility. You feel
relaxed and loved carried by this wonderful light.
Gradually
the white light gently takes you to what appears to be a door of the
most opulent building, there is a gentle breeze, the door is open and
you know it is safe to go inside. You feel totally at ease, it feels
like you have come home, there is a certain familiarity about this
place. You walk up the three steps slowly and you go inside, the
ceiling is high and it is light and airy inside and on the floor are
large silk cushions in beautiful colours, colours so bright and so
beautiful that you have never seen the like before. You sit down on the
cushions, you feel safe, you feel at home.
You then
become aware you are not alone three people have come to greet you and
are so pleased and joyful to see you at last, they speak softly to you
listen to what they say………. I will leave you a few moments to share the knowledge that is given to you……………..
PERIOD OF DEEP MEDITATION AND MESSAGES
Then
all too soon it is time to go, you are given love and a gift, hold on
to this gift and treasure it. You now find you are alone the door is
now open and as you go through the door and down the three steps, the
white light surrounds you completely it is soft and comforting and you
feel at peace, deeper and more relaxed than before. You find yourself
supported and being carried gently as if flowing on a gentle breeze down
through the clouds slowly descending, down through the roof of the
building where you once were, still holding on to your gift and what
knowledge was given to you.
Soon you find yourself
sitting on your chair, your feet are firmly on the floor and the pure
white light carries down through your feet as if to grow roots so that
your feet are firmly rooted deep in the earth below. The light then
starts to fade around you but leaving you at peace and keeping you safe
but fading and receding until it is a tiny white light above the crown
of your head and then disappears into the heavens.
You
are now firmly sitting upon your chair back in the room feet firm on
the floor take a slow deep breath open your eyes when your are ready
and make sure you have a glass of water stretch and make sure you are
grounded."
Thank your guides for this wonderful trip and for keeping you safe and protected and loved
NOW
YOU CAN DISCUSS OR WRITE DOWN YOUR EXPERIENCES WHAT YOU SAW? WAS
ANYTHING SAID TO YOU? WHAT KNOWLEDGE WAS BESTOWED ON YOU? AND WHAT WAS
THE PARTING GIFT?
WHY DO WE NEED PSYCHIC PROTECTION?
Why do we need psychic protection?
well overtime we think and create many thoughts, each becomes a
thought form, it is in effect an energy. Think about how many thoughts
you have in a day, thousands, some of those are positive and that is
great, however some of those are negative and all those thoughts we
send out into the cosmos. Now these thoughts being energy can become
tangible and manifest. It is by the power of thought healers use for
distant healing. Remember energy is power and it can be used for good
or evil. We may not realise we are doing this but when you think
negatively of someone that energy is going somewhere and its generally
to the person concerned. These negative thoughts in time can attack and
often the symptoms may be headaches, feeling low, lacking energy.
I'll
give you another example how many of you have a friend who comes to
visit and likes unburdening their worries and troubles on to you. They
feel great for getting all their thoughts of their chest but it often
renders you tired and exhausted. This is because they have left all
their negative energy on to you.
So what can we do to prevent this? Well we can use the same process, thought, to protect ourselves from negative energy, psychic attack.
SIMPLE PROTECTION
These are some of the simple methods below
Strengthening the Aura.
Cleansing with aroma,
(any light scent will do that you like) first inhale the scent in
cupped hands, then sweep over the body and down to the ground. It is
possible to obtain special preparations for this, but any light scented
perfume will do, and even better if you particularly like it!
Cleansing
the Chakra's also helps to protect. Imagine that you are surrounded by
a bubble of light, and that nothing can penetrate it unless you wish
it to! Extend this to family and especially CAR. In difficult
situations, crystallize the outside of the bubble for extra protection!
Use crystals for protection (double terminators & quartz)
Protective mirrors in bad attacks.
If you know what direction the harm is coming from, place a small mirror in your window facing that direction saying:-
"Mirror bright-mirror clear protect from harm all who bide here"
Instead
of the bubble exercise you may use a hooded, floor length cloak or a
shield decorated with a protective design of your choice. The shield
idea is versatile as you can use a ‘mini shield’ over any area you feel
vulnerable, such as your solar plexus.
If you shower
in the morning visualise the water flowing through your energy field
carrying away any negativity down the plughole with it. If you prefer a
bath you may add sea or rock salt to the water- about a cupful-
dissolve it well. Salt has long been renowned for its cleansing
properties.
Visualise a shower of light running through your aura and dissolving any negativity.
Stay
grounded. Visualise roots growing deep down into the Earth from the
soles of your feet. Being ‘well grounded’ offers a great deal of
protection. Practice your grounding visualisation every morning and
whenever you feel ‘spacey’. Carry hematite or another grounding stone
with you if necessary.
PSYCHIC PROTECTION THE BASICS
I have written about Psychic Protection
before, but there is often a problem at night for those who are
beginning their psychic development journey. You see when you initially
open up to the world of the Spirit realms, their are those spirits, who
basically think they can have some fun. These spirits inhabit the Astral plane,
this is the lowest of the several spiritual relams and its is on this
realm that inhabit earth bound spirits, i.e. those who feel they are
trapped in a period of limbo, it could possibly be something traumatic
that is holding them there, but often or not it is spirit who are
denying the light and unwilling to accept good or it is the mischievious
'Lower Elementals' nature spirits. Lower Elementals are purely Earth Spirits i.e nymphs, fairies, elves etc. who like nothing better but to have some wicked fun.
What is important to remember, NOTHING CAN HARM YOU.
OK they may give you a good fright but that is all they can do, no
spirit, good, bad or indifferent can possess you in anyway, contrary to
what folklore would have you believe.
The Universe does operate on a series of laws i.e. 'The law of attraction'
where like attracts like and it is this law that is in operation that
can cause a few problems. You have to remember we as humans are 'Spirit'
in a physical body whilst we are on Earth and we all develop
spiritually at different rates. The whole concept of being on Earth is
to help us develop spiritually, with each incarnation we grow more
spiritually and the older the soul the more experienced and spiritual we
become.
To explain we understand more about compassion,
empathy and understanding and we become more positive and pure of heart.
However for those beginning on their Psychic development journey, those
experiences are not as strong and they have not developed so
spiritually and more prone to negative thinking coupled with the fact
their 'mind discipline' is not so astute and controlled as someone who
is more experienced psychically. Therein lies the problem which leads me
back to the problem lower elementals and earth bound spirits. Now
whilst we are awake we are firmly on earth, earth after all is our
classroom, whereby we interact with others to enrich our experiences and
learn, compassion, empathy etc. but whilst we are asleep, our spirits
travel the Astral Planes, in effect we are allowed home at night to
interact with the world of spirit, where we may communicate with our
loved ones in spirit etc. It is when we are fully relaxed and asleep our
protection is at its weakest for the inexperienced developing psychic
so they may become the victim of the mischievous lower elementals and
earth bound spirits. Now couple this with the 'Law of attraction' and
you attract your current type of energy, ie. if you are a negative
thinker, you will attract this type of spirit and likewise if you are a
positive thinker you will attract a positive energy form.
So
what can be done to get rid of these nightly problems? We firstly
remember NOTHING CAN HARM YOU NOR POSSESS YOU and they will only
frighten you if you allow them to do so. Easier said than done but the
key here is MIND DISCIPLINE
and we do this in development class through visualisation and
meditatation, so we develop a strong mind and will power, this is the
basis of Psychic Protection ~ the strength of will.
One of the easiest exercises is to surround
yourself in a sealed golden bubble of light, this is done through
visualisation and it can be found on my blog here another is asking the
Angels to come forward to surround and protect you, but these
visualistions have to be focused and concentrated when doing so,
practice like most things makes perfect. Really if whatever energy it is
all you need do is to say go to the light but you must say it with
conviction so it knows you mean it and you don't have to shout it out
loud either, simply say it in your mind. If all else fails then their is
the salt method and this requires you to put a pinch of salt in every
corner of the room and a light sprinkling across the door threshold and
window sill, the energy wont cross this as salt is protective. The key
to any type or variation of psychic protection is to mean and believe it
and those nightly visitations will disappear.
The
whole basis of psychic development is to be able to turn it off and on
when YOU WANT IT and not when the spirit realms want it.
THE SPIRIT OF THE GREY STALLION
Now the article below my post here
is from the Daily Mail but I want to recall my own experiences as a
Medium. In Spiritualist's beliefs we believe both humans and animals
have their own soul groups and we all begin as lower life forms
gradually with each incarnation moving up the scale from the lower
animal life forms until, more intelligent animals such as horses and
elephants etc. until the time comes until the high forms are ready to be
incarnated in human form. We then continue reincarnating and growing in
human form.
I have many experiences with animal spirits but one very strong memory
was when I was teaching. I had a class of mature college students and
was in the midst of an anatomy and physiology lesson when the spirit
form of a grey stallion with white mane stood next to one of the
students. This horse stood very tall and I tried my best to carry on
with the lesson but it was very difficult to do so when this horse was
trying to attract my attention. To explain when we mediums communicate
with animals its not through conventional speaking it's through thoughts
and feelings. The students knew about my abilities but I did not talk
about such subjects but touched on it in Holistic therapies, such as
Aromatherapy and Crystal Healing.
Trying to carry on the lesson this horse conveyed to me about another
horse and described its appearance and that it was a brown mare who was
very sick. The stallion also conveyed to me how he passed over due to a
wound in its leg after he had injured himself on a wire fence. He was a
proud beast and quite a character.
I had an overwhelming feeling I should talk to this student about this
and spirit always told me never to fear coming forward if I felt the
need to. So at break I explained what I had picked up, the student was
shocked at first but her family ran stables and indeed they had to put
down a grey stallion after its severe injuries. She also told me they
hired out horses and ponies to riding clubs and indeed they did have a
brown mare of the description given to me but as far as she knew the
mare was fine and was hired out to a riding club.
Two days went by and the student excitedly came to find me, the mare had
been returned to them indeed very sick, the vet at the riding club
didn't know what was wrong and neither did the girl's family's vet, it
was obviously a very sick animal. I recalled what the Stallion had
conveyed to me but I hadn't told the student how serious the mare was
not wishing to alarm her, in actual fact the Stallion had conveyed the
mare was to pass over.
One month later we had a fire alarm alert and the college staff and
students were all gathered outside, fortunately it was a false alarm but
the Stallion appeared standing next to the student, it was a bad
feeling and I knew the Stallion had come for the mare to take her spirit
to the afterlife. Later on this afternoon the student received a call
from her mother to inform her the mare had died.
Now whether you chose to believe this story it is up to you, there were
witnesses as I recalled the Stallion right down to where the injury was
and how it had happened including the horse's character. I had no idea
of this student's background and had no contact with any of her horses,
in fact trying to describe their character was difficult and strange to
the witnesses how I could communicate with the spirit of a dead horse.
This is merely one of the spirit communications I have had with animals.
MPB (C)
We all develop close bonds with our pets over years of feeding, petting and growing up together.
But some bonds seem to be so strong, they carry on into the afterlife.
In
Kim Sheridan's book, Animals And The Afterlife, she recounts tales of
families who were visited by their pets long after they had passed
away...
ANIMAL SPIRIT SPOTTING
Animal lover: Kim Sheridan spoke to dozens of 'communicators' to gather stories for her book Animals And The Afterlife
He told Sheridan: 'I was once walking down an unlit road at night when I saw a big white dog come across the road. It was jumping as it moved – but in slow motion – and just went through the fence on the other side and on up through a field.
'I watched as it ran, still in slow motion, until I lost sight of it. So yes, I believe animals have spirits as we do.
'I think that every living thing has an afterlife.'
THE LIFESAVING CAT
American nursery teacher Debra Tadman's oldest cat, Wiggie, had just died when she first called animal communicator Sharon Callaghan.'Wiggie and I had a very close relationship and I felt as if I had lost a child. He had seen me through a marriage, divorce, other relationships, three house moves and other life experiences.'
Sharon told Debra Wiggie was concerned about her apartment, because it was a 'toxic place'.
'About a year later I decided to paint the inside of my apartment,' Debra said. 'It was then I found out that the texture contained asbestos. I had to have the entire ceiling removed.'
'When the wood wall panelling that had been exposed to the asbestos was taken down there was mould all over the walls. Then when parts of the wall were removed it was discovered that the aluminium wiring needed to be replaced.
Debra is forever grateful to Wiggie. She said: 'To this day I can’t believe how accurate and true that reading was. There is no way that Sharon could have known this.
'I didn’t even know myself until I started to have some painting done.'
Pet crazy: Kim playing around with her dog, Beau
THE LOYAL FRIEND
Narelle Box, a jeweller in Australia, had also recently had to say goodbye to her 'feline soulmate' of 15 years, Browby, when she went to a spiritual healer to help her grieve.'The medium did not know that I’d had a cat who had died. When I rang to book the appointment I spoke to her husband. He just gave me an appointment date, a time and the address. He didn’t ask for any details.
'When I arrived on the day of the appointment the medium opened the door and the first thing she said as I walked across the threshold was, "Oh look, there’s a black cat at your feet."
'Those were the first words she said to me and that was the first time we had spoken.
'I looked down and saw nothing... I was speechless but it’s great to know that they are still looking after us and keeping us company.'
LIMITED VISIBILITY
Some people are more open to spirits than others. Often some family members can see a pet who has passed on, while others cannot.Robert and Kathy Simmons' dog, Hobbes, passed away while their son was at university.
When he returned home and was told his pet had died, Moe replied: 'That’s impossible. He was just here and I patted him.'
Strong bond: Some bonds between humans and pets are so strong they carry on into the afterlife
A PHYSICAL PRESENCE
Others can feel their pets but cannot see them.Animal communicator Gail De Sciose told Sheridan: 'People have told me they have actually felt the physical presence of their animals after they have died.
'There was one woman who told me that at times she could feel her cat sitting on her lap purring, even though the cat had passed away.'
THE ANIMAL WHO WAS LEFT BEHIND
Gail De Sciose had another client who had moved into a house where she started seeing a spirit cat.She said: 'Her own animals saw that spirit animal too and everybody was comfortable with it because the cat had a very nice energy.
'We later found out that this cat had lived in that house 30 years before and that the cat’s owner had also since died.'
KEEPING UP THE ROUTINE
Read more: Animals And The Afterlife contains dozens more tales about spiritual appearances
'For a number of years I had treatment from a chiropractor, Meyers recalled. 'At that time one of the canine members of my family was a white toy poodle called Skila who accompanied me everywhere.
'Whenever we went to the chiropractor, Skila would run down the hallway outside the treatment room then run back and jump into the chiropractor’s arms. He always knew when we’d arrived because he would hear her coming down the hall.
'About six months after Skila died I had a very agitated phone call from the chiropractor who told me he had been in his office working at his desk when he heard something in the hallway. When he looked out of his office door he saw Skila walking down the hall as she had done so many times before.
'It was not a feeling or an image or some kind of shadowy sensation. It was what is known as a solid visitation. He was stunned. He had called not so much to tell me that Skila had visited him but that he thought he was having a breakdown.
'You see I had known him for years and we had talked about many things but he believed all this "stuff", as he would call it, was simply the product of a grief-stricken mind. That day everything changed for him.'
Animals And The Afterlife was written by Kim Sheridan. It is published by Hay House and costs £10.99
SPIRIT SYMBOLS AND SHORTHAND
Whether its finding objects or been given to you in a reading or meditation, certain objects or symbols convey messages from Spirit
WHITE FEATHERS
Finding white feathers are Celestial beings (Angels) way of letting you know they are around you. They often appear at times when you need strength to let you know you are not alone and a symbol of hope and conveying you will get through this. (They are said to be from Angel wings)
CRYSTALS
Sometimes finding a crystal is for similar reasons as above. It is also
said that we don't own crystals and they go to those who need them. For
those of you who can see Auras you should also be able to see that
crystals have their own aura too. If you've ever had an Aura photo
taken, you will be told to remove any crystals from your person as they
will affect the outcome of the photo. Each crystal has a different
effect, with blue crystals, such as turquoise affecting the throat
chakra and thus communication, so if you are planning on giving a speech
for example carrying or wearing a turquoise crystal will be beneficial
in delivering that speech. Also if intuitively you feel you should pass
on a crystal to someone else please do so for this is your 'Higherself'
conveying they will benefit from it.
BIRDS
Small birds such as Robins or song Thrushes are often symbolic as good
news coming your way. Whether you see one by your window or this
particular bird has constantly attracted your attention more than one
another, or as a symbol of one found in a tea leaf reading or even given
in a reading or meditation the meaning is the same that is: there is
good news coming your way.
