Home is where you lay your head… unless your house has unwanted spiritual guests wandering about. Then, home can be a space of stress and negative energy. But how do you know if that one room that’s always cold has a ghost or just drafty windows? Let’s talk about how to tell if your house is haunted.

Ghosts and Spirits

When someone dies, their spirit is left behind. When they don’t pass on to the next plane, they stay here with us, manifesting their presence in different ways. Ghosts often linger in places that were important to the person in life, like the family home or their deathbed.

Is your house haunted?

It can be difficult to tell whether your house is haunted or just old and creaky. Here are some common signs to look for:

• Sounds with no apparent source, like music, voices, footsteps, or singing.
• Smells when the source is not present. Think perfumes, foods, cigars, and flowers.
• Feeling suddenly cold, or like you’re not alone in the room. You may also feel contact when there is nothing visible touching you.
• Seeing moving shadows or unexplained lights can be apparitions moving about.
• Foot or handprints appearing, often on bedsheets.
• Doors or other objects moving around in your house.
• Young children tend to have an innate ability to see ghosts. Your toddlers imaginary friend may not be so imaginary.
• Animals also tend to be tuned into supernatural presences as well. Any odd behavior from your pet, particularly directed at something unseen, can be a sign of a haunting.

Every sign is not always indicative of a ghost presence in your home. If some tragic event has occurred there in the past, you may be dealing with the residual energies from that event.

What can you do now?

You are not powerless against the unexplained phenomena happening in your home. There are some basic steps you can take if you suspect your house is haunted.

1. Double check these occurrences and make sure there are no other reasonable explanations for them.
2. Ask family members if they are observing the same things you are. Multiple witnesses offers more support to your suspicions.
3. Start a journal tracking the paranormal events. You may notice patterns in location, time of day, or type of activity.
4. Call a psychic medium to come investigate.

What can a Psychic Medium do?

A psychic medium has honed their skills to tune into the energies in your home and determine whether the presence you sense is real. They can decipher if it is residual energy from past events or a ghost with unfinished business. In either case, a medium can communicate with the spirit to learn it’s motivations and help it find the peace to move on.

Ghosts don’t usually have bad intentions when they stick around this physical realm. They often just need a little help to find their way home. For your own peace of mind, consult a medium when you suspect paranormal energy is present in your home.

It is a question that has occurred to all of us; is there an afterlife where we will be free of our suffering and strife?

Sometimes when can communicate to the spirit world through a medium and they tell us what it is like to pass over.  The medium will be able to sense this process but won’t feel exactly what they person felt, otherwise they would be overwhelmed by the many, many deaths they have to endure over their careers.  But they do get to feel the joy and happiness as the spirit leaves the body. This means that the passing over is complete.

But what will we take with us?

Pain from Illness

When you pass over, your pain will not only be gone, but you will fell as if you were never ill.  Everything that held you back in this life will disappear.  It is said that when death comes near, one becomes totally at ease and completely confident as suffering comes to an end.  This is also seen in the animal world.  It may stem from a belief that comes to us from Europe that an animal will go off to die on their own rather than burden us with their passing.

Knowing that all will be well can alleviate any fears or traumas we associate with losing our lives.

According to Ram Dass

The famed 1960’s guru Ram Das told a story to help describe the inner turmoil one may feel as they are making their transition from one side to the next. In the story he tells that a young woman was terminally ill. Her mother stayed vigilant at her side, and despite the young woman’s pleas would not let her go.   It was only when her mother was out of the room that the young woman was able to cross over.

Near Death Experiences

Some people have described that they have had a sense of release when they are almost gone. The human heart can stop beating and the brain can endure up to two minutes, leaving the body officially dead.  When the person is resuscitated, they  can tell about having left their body. They often tell about traveling through light before going on to the next world. These cases have some credence and have been investigated by a number of scientists.

There is some hope

It is those of us left behind that feel the most pain at the sight of their loved one’s body. This may stay with us for years. It makes us think of  our own mortality. It is part of our own human experience to feel sad, but we should take hope that we will all move on to a better experience.

     A large part of helping the psychic power within evolve is getting to know one’s own mind. A medium needs to be aware of where their own thoughts and where the messages from other worlds begin.  If they do not do this self-examination, it is possible to be confused by   the impressions from the spirit world.

Mediums have to learn to let go and be still. This process takes a while to learn and to get used to. They have to consciously work on reducing the activity of their mind as they observe the universe from within themselves.

This requires several months of deep meditation and thought.  It can make the medium mentally and emotionally exhausted.

After they finish a day of this practice they review their thoughts and try to organize the into a message.  Through this examination they have to find when the messages began coming in.  The messages usually appear when the medium stops trying and starts receiving.

They must maintain a large level of dedication and effort to the practice so they can experience the evolution of their powers. Self examination helps them remove any personal bias they may have.  They must detach themselves from their own thoughts.  This, in and of itself requires a lot of discipline.

Some mediums say that the feelings they have when they receive a message from the spirit world are indescribable. They say it is in their still silent moments that the message just appears.

There are some things that people ask about what goes on the medium’s mind:

• They get messages constantly. This is not true because a talented medium can detach and shut off.
• Mediums can see the future. A medium generally views the present to best advise their client. They can also look into the past as they consult the dearly departed.
• A medium is always calm and quiet. Mediums can detach and become quiet when necessary
• Mediums have a higher intellect than everyone else. Mediums are trained to be open to spirits. They do not necessarily have a higher level of intelligence.
• Mediums have to be vigilant so they do not become possessed.

While mediums keep their minds open to receive messages, there is not a cadre of evil spirits lining up to talk to one.

In the world of extrasensory talents there are a few names and terms that are similar. The various types of mediums , intuitive,  psychic, and spiritual.  These are basically the same. A medium emphasizes talking to those who have crossed over to the afterlife.  There is, however a difference between a psychic and a medium.

Psychics aren’t always mediums, but mediums are  indeed psychic.  Psychics can tune themselves into a person’s energy and feel elements of the person’s past or present or future. They use their intuition to get information on the person they are reading.

Mediums use their  abilities to read the energy around someone rather than that persons own energy.   Essentially the  medium  uses their psychic instincts and abilities to read the energies surrounding them.

A medium serves as a messenger between those in this world and those who have crossed over.  Mediums communicate with sprit guides, the dead and angels.

The most common form of mediums is a mental medium. This type of medium talks to the spirits through telepathy.  The type of feelings and thoughts exchanged by spirits are called “clairs”.   The medium can receive information through clairaudience, hearing the spirit. They can also see things, clairvoyance. They also feel; clairsentience. All of theses are ways of communicating with the other world.

Another difference between mediums and psychics is that the readings that psychics do usually involves telling something about the future while mediums focus on issues from the past and present.

Psychics read potential events based on a person’s current path, these are generally used as a guideline to help the person being read make the best possible choices.

A medium is sought it is usually to resolve an issue from the past or something that is unresolved for which they seek closure.  Since it is the living who are not at peace, our dearly departed or usually very helpful by assisting us in moving away from our gif and struggles so that we may enjoy the rest of our time on this plane of existence.

No matter who we choose to consult, psychic or medium, we do so to get a clearer perspective on our lives. We should set aside anything that is holding us back and let the spirits guide us to the best place for us. Let your personal energies flow freely and let the medium/psychic guide you to help you find what you need to know.

The Way a Psychic Medium Channels Information

On the off chance that you are new to psychic readings, you may be somewhat apprehensive or on edge about the occasion; all things considered, from we see on TV and through online networking can make the thought about the soul world reaching us look marginally odd and something to be dreaded.

But, the way a psychic medium channels information during a reading is nothing like what you have seen on TV and there is nothing to be scared of! Read on to find out why…

1. Are mediums on speed dial to the spirit world?
   The way a psychic medium channels information from the spirit world is like a telephone, without the volume control or the ability to direct dial. When a medium connects to the other side, imagine in your head and ears a whole host of ‘white noise’, like a badly tuned radio. Through all the ‘noise’, they need to be able to listen to the person coming through who wants to connect with you. This takes concentration and energy.
2. How do spirits connect with the medium
   It is thought that spirits make contact with the medium in 4 ways:
   • Some mediums see spirits but this is dependent on if the spirit wishes to be seen. Rather than seeing a ghostly apparition, the medium may be granted the opportunity to see through the spirits ‘mind’s eye’ and is one method the way a psychic medium channels information
   • Secondly, the way a psychic medium channels information can also be through sound or hearing the spirit; as we have already alluded to, this does not always come through as a clear-cut message. This can change from spirit to spirit; whilst some do come through like a radio message, others are more sketchy and distant
   • Thirdly, telepathy is a way of communication from spirit to medium. This is similar to what many people could call intuition; it is the sending of a message from the spirit to the medium’s mind. It can take time for the medium to work out what the message actually is as there can be confusion!
   • And finally, many mediums can be made to feel sensations or feelings in both mind and body, both physically and emotionally. The way a psychic medium channels information of this kind is to understand that they themselves are not as risk but that maybe the tight feeling in the chest is related to an illness the subject is suffering from and so on.
   The way a psychic medium channels information is affected by who is in the room during a reading and how they feel about the whole process; people who are skeptical (and healthy skepticism is welcomed!) will prevent some of the messages coming through clearly.

Having a reading is nothing to fear or be anxious about. Mediums and spirits do want to create an atmosphere where their loved ones or friends could be harmed. Work with the medium and enjoy your reading!

You may be thinking or curious on what is really a psychic medium. Well it is a human being who has the capability of channeling and can connect to your loved ones who passed away and is already in a spirit world. A real medium can give you a reading, you can ask anything and then will try to connect to someone from your family or friends who has passed on.

A real medium cannot guarantee that they will be able to connect when you go for a reading, because it may not happen if spirit are not willing or unable to give you any information. However most of the time you will be connected to someone from the spirit world. It doesn’t always have to be someone who you particularly know, as it can be anyone from a great granddad to a distant uncle.

When you get messages coming across from the medium to you, at first it can seem a bit strange, but after a while after you have been given some messages, you will get used to it. You may not know at first what spirit is talking about as they don’t always give you messages that you can understand. It may be that the medium is given a message that is offering her some flowers, and they will tell you this.

You may not know what the flowers mean, but someone else in the family may. It is usually symbols that spirit give to you and it is up to the medium and you to decipher what is being said or shown. Sometimes you do get very clear messages saying that someone is going to have a baby or move etc but sometime it is just symbols. It is very worthwhile going to a medium if you have loved ones that have passed on.

You will come away assured that life does really go on after you have passed away. It is a very comforting feeling to know that your loved ones are still around you and can see and hear you. That is why people go to a medium so they can communicate with you through spirit. So if you are wanting to speak to someone in the spirit world or just want reassurance that they are okay, then find a real medium who will be able to do this for you.

Make sure that you bring some notes with you so you don’t forget what to ask the medium. Try to be positive and always keep an open mind. Don’t bombard the medium with questions, just let them tell you what they are being shown. You can find a real medium either at your local Spiritualist Church or through the Internet. If you don’t have a local Spiritualist Church then go online and look for a medium.

Make sure that they have some feedback from satisfied customers and to see if they are what you are looking for. Once you book up a reading then you will be pleasantly surprised at what a real medium can tell you.

We have all made poor choices in our lives, honed terrible judgment, or believed somebody when we had the inclination not to. That is called through and through freedom and that is the thing that God made us with. Through and through freedom can impede us listening to our soul guides. For instance, how often have you said to yourself “I knew it!” If you resemble the vast majority it is too often to tally.

What if we could go back to the point of the decision, take a step back and try to listen to what our spirit guide is telling us to do? But how do we listen to what our guides are saying? It’s easy. All you have to do is take a step back and listen to what your heart is telling you and not your emotions. Most people can’t see their spirit guides but they are always there with you and will get you through whatever turmoil you are going through one way or another.

For most people their spirit guide is the little voice in your head, you know the one that we ignore a lot. You have to really take a step back and listen to your guides. They come through to us in all types of ways. Some people will get goose bumps when they are about to make a good decision and some will feel the hair on the back of their neck stand up. The important thing here is to recognize how we as individuals get messages from our spirit guides and pay attention to them. Once we understand their warnings it does get easier and easier to listen resulting in us making better decisions.

The left side of the brain is the analytical side where we process information and the right ride of the brain is where we get information from our spirit guides. Learning to separate the two is difficult and takes time and practice. I always tell clients to take baby steps and start small by getting in the habit of acknowledging your guide by name. Include him or her as part of your everyday life.

Start in the morning by asking your spirit guide by name to help pick out an outfit for you to wear. Then ask what you should have for breakfast and give two choices. This will get you in the habit of listening to them and you will start to recognize their communication to you. This helps when the major life decisions come up you will automatically know what your guide wants you to do. We all have free will but listening to your guide will make your life less stressful.

I have dependably trusted we can interface with our higher selves, guides and angels and those on the other side. I have dependably trusted the main contrast between you and I is that I trust I can do this and you don’t trust you can. So how about we change that!

First of all, we talk to our dear departed ones all the time. They do hear us. And, they communicate back to us. It’s hearing back from them and listening to the way they talk to us that really matters. When we understand and hear their messages we can be greatly calmed and happy knowing they are around us. Developing this listening skill is pretty easy. It is what mediums do and it takes two ingredients: belief and time.

The most basic skill you can have is the simple belief that you are intuitive, psychic and can connect with those loved ones that have crossed over. If you struggle with believing this statement, good luck in developing your skills. It will not happen without it. Belief in yourself and in the fact that you too, have medium ability, is the number one thing required in developing and using it. The second skill is repetition, and that means practice over time.

So, how do you begin developing your own skills as a medium? Follow this simple, three-step process:

1. Find the time.

It’s all about a few minutes a day, every day. Put aside 10 quiet minutes a day. Get a candle of any color. Many people prefer white. Light it. Sit in front of it. Relax. Close your eyes. Still your mind and ask to connect with God. Sit quietly  and still for as long as you wish or can. It is the quiet and the stillness you want to experience.

2. Develop your five senses.

Yes, the more heightened your physical senses become the better your psychic abilities become. Pay attention to taste, sight, hearing, touch and smell. Take 5 minutes each day and use each one in a quiet space. Really pay attention and notice things with each sense you never did. As you heighten your sensory awareness it heightens your extra sensory awareness too.

3. Light your candle.

Go inside to your quiet space, and ask to have a loved one come forward. Relax. Let whatever comes through for you come through. It sounds silly, but it is as easy as relaxing and believing what you feel, hear or see. When you are finished write it down in a journal. It is important you document what you experience because you can refer to it later when it is confirmed as a real experience by you, others or your dreams. This provides confirmation that what you are experiencing is real.

Using these very simple, basic steps are how many of the mediums that work professionally began their work and training. You will not only be able to talk to your loved ones on the other side, you’ll hear what they have to say to you too and feel their comfort and their energy around you. They are never gone; they are just in a different form.

The estimation of a prediction is just in the same class as the authenticity of the psychic endowments of the individual who offered it. Fake psychic mediums are all over the place and they stalk their questions steadily, exploiting the frantic and the baffled. Due to an awful involvement with a psychic medium who is just claiming to be one, numerous individuals avoid psychics, mediums, and clairvoyants in general, in this way denying themselves the enormous advantages that honest to goodness ability could offer to them.

Therefore, the public must learn to distinguish between real psychics and fake ones. It can be quite difficult for an average person to determine outright are psychic mediums real or not, but the question of whether a psychic medium is real or not has an answer. Besides, a fraud artist cannot stay concealed for long.

True clairvoyants do not ask many leading questions

A psychic who fishes around for clues by asking a lot of leading questions is giving himself away. Although legitimate psychic do ask plenty of background information, possibly due to force of habit or personality type, the manner by which the question is structured and presented suggest a subtle, but unmistakable fishing for information. The biggest scam artists ask a lot of questions first, or else they will not get anything right. Watch out for some individuals whose only purpose is to earn money, as opposed to real psychics who genuinely want to help others with their abilities while they make a livelihood for themselves.

Phony psychic mediums offer general messages, never specifics

When communiqué from the spirit world is always a general statement, then be wary of the psychic that you get your counsel. Moreover, the spirit who the psychic communicates with must be identified at the start of the session. If there is no identifying evidence, then the psychic may either have lack of experience, is poorly gifted compared to his peers, or is a poser who wants to rob people of their hard-earned money.

Unfortunately, many psychics offering their services online are not genuine. Three in every four psychics offering readings, predictions, and counsel are only pretending to have the talents that they claim to possess. These people seem not to care for the emotional damage that they could cause because they persist on keeping up the deception.

Frauds claim that they can remove a curse for a certain amount of money

One of the biggest scams that pervade the industry today is the removal of a spell or a curse for a fee. When a “real” psychic offers the service, you must say politely that you will reconsider, and move on to another psychic medium who does not tell you that your misfortunes in life are brought by a curse. At its most basic, this nefarious scheme is grounded on the use of fear of the occult to manipulate people. Not only is this practice unfair to people who are in genuine need of help. It is also an unsightly smear, which puts a negative light on the entire industry.

Mediums Communicate with the Spirit World

Being a medium is not as simple as it appears. Mediums fill in as ties between the material and soul universes, and keep separation in both with a specific end goal to hand-off messages to the individuals who wish to hear them. It’s a hard skill set, and great mediums are elusive. That is the reason we checked in with a couple of our trusted mediums to see what understanding and knowledge they needed to go on in regards to mediumship.

“For me, mediumship experiences are very moving and beautiful. I get a good sense of a person’s personality, and can see them crossed over on the other side in the heavens waiting for me to acknowledge them. An instant connection occurs after they’ve been recognized, and they step forward and begin speaking. They hear you through me, and I respond with what they say using their words. Often they have many messages regarding unfinished business or closure, how they are working to keep the connection open and if they have taken the role as your guide or as your angel.

“There are several ways one who has crossed over can communicate. Some communicate through words, songs, presence, and at times, certain symbols to let you know they are there for you. One caller felt she had lost her sense of purpose after her husband passed unexpectedly. She felt his presence for a little bit and then lost the connection. She called asking to connect, and he instantly stepped forward being his fiery, feisty self with words of inspiration and hope for her. He told her that he came to visit each night while she slept, and if she’d put his picture on the night stand he’d visit more often. His words were ‘I’ve always been here for you. Just ask me to come and tell me what you need. You know I would never leave you without what you need. So why don’t you ask me? You know I love you!’ A bit of tears and more words were exchanged between the two, and the wife realized her husband had crossed over, he was doing well and he was happy. She just needed to speak to him whenever she liked to keep the connection open. She shared she had been so lonely and needed him. Feeling lost no longer, she accepted his new role in her life.”

But what if one wants to truly develop mediumistic skills themselves, and enhance their psychic abilities to the point that they can communicate with spirits on their own? What should they do then?

“I have always believed we can connect with our higher selves, Source, our guides, angels and those on the other side. I have always believed the only difference between you and I is that I believe I can do this and you don’t believe you can. So let’s change that!

“First of all, we talk to our dear departed ones all the time. They do hear us. And, they communicate back to us. It’s hearing back from them and listening to the way they talk to us that really matters. When we understand and hear their messages we can be greatly calmed and happy knowing they are around us. Developing this listening skill is pretty easy. It is what mediums do and it takes two ingredients: belief and time.

“The most basic skill you can have is the simple belief that you are intuitive, psychic and can connect with those loved ones who have crossed over. If you struggle with believing this statement, good luck in developing your skills. It will not happen without it. Belief in yourself and in the fact that you too, have mediumship abilities, is the number one thing required in developing and using them. The second skill is repetition, and that means practice over time.”
