Benefits of opening your third eye

images (28)

If you think that you only have two eyes, you are incorrect. Each of us has three eyes. Our third eye  helps use access the best knowledge we can.

The two eyes you can see are important. The third eye is not visible but it’s just as real as other eyes.  It is a great source of intuition that can give us insight through  meditation.  We also can get intellect from the past, the future and present.

Everyone has the power. The third eye just needs to be opened and used. Why should you do this?

Are Ouija Boards Safe?

images (39)

An Ouija board is more than a board game. It is, quite simply, a divination tool. Its purpose is to answer questions by inviting spirits to speak to the people who are using the board. Of course, there’s no guarantee that anything will happen at all if you use one. But if something does happen, there’s no way of controlling that.

So, are Ouija boards safe to use? Well, that depends on who’s asking, and what it’s being used for.

Ouija boards generally, as in 95 percent of the time, make connections with beings in the lower realm. This means the experience is typically of a low nature. Evolved beings don’t generally respond to them. So don’t bother, unless all you’re seeking is entertainment.

However, if you’re of a strong or of an especially a susceptible energy, you can attract strong energies in return. This can result in a negative attachment. Most people who dabble with Ouija boards are kids who have little defense against low-level energies with ill intent. It’s advisable not to mess with them, because you’re basically opening a door to the type of energy you don’t want. Would you open your home’s door to low-level humans? Probably not. The same principle applies to Ouija boards.

images (40)

It’s rare that the beings coming through can do more than lie and try and scare you with horror stories, such as predictions of your death or harm coming to someone close to you. Those beings enjoy fear, so they try to invoke fear in you so they can feed off of it.

Then there are the beings that come through that are still stuck on the lower plane, but are more middle-ground in terms of wanting to evoke fear. I experienced such a being once while staying at an old hotel in the silver mining town of Virginia City, Nevada. I successfully called forth beings who died during the silver-mining era. At a nearby cemetery, I was able to find the name of the miner who died and thus verify what the being communicated to me. But this type of story is more the exception than the rule, and is more llikely to happen with adults on the board as opposed to highly emotional youth.

tumblr_napbrcOarc1te78hco1_500

I was pretty powerful at the Ouija board in my teens, because I had strong energy. I didn’t even need anyone else working the board with me. When I used the board, I could tell who was calling and who was at the door. But I ended up stuck with a nasty non-human being. Besides the fact that it stayed around far past its welcome, it could also cause the room to go cold, collapse the closet of a friend who tried to purge it, and make stereos turn on and dials move–pretty terrifying stuff to the average person.

During my teen years, I had volatile emotions and an unhappy home life, so I was a prime target.  Occasionally, I’ll hear stories of young people who have had mental breakdowns after using them. Again, if a person is already susceptible, is weak-willed, or has a hysterical nature, they are the first to break down and be taken advantage of.

Because of the Ouija board’s known ability to summon negative spirits, it was labeled as a channel or door for demonic possession, so cautions were issued against its use. Some mediums, occultists and witches believe that Ouija boards are not games to be played with, as they can open a portal between this world and the next and allow dark entities to cross through. Others believe that this same portal can allow ancestors and friendly entities to communicate. If you feel you’ve opened the portal and can’t close it, seek professional help to cleanse your space and close the portal.

Of course, there are people who use an Ouija board, have a good laugh, and that’s the end of it. But as I always say, if the risk isn’t worth the reward, why bother? You could potentially invite something into your living space that could be quite unpleasant, so my recommendation is to avoid the Ouija board.

If all you’re looking for is a good time, stick with a different board game.

Losing a Loved One: How to Keep Going

images (7)We all live knowing that one day, we will die. Despite this, grief takes on a whole new meaning when we lose someone we love. When the death is someone close to us, like a spouse, parent, or sibling, grief hits hard. The process of grieving takes us through a range of emotions. From sadness and shock to depression and confusion. But we have to move through these feelings and get to a point where we can remember that loved one in a positive light. It takes a bit of spiritual growth for us to find peace with this major loss.There is no right or wrong way to feel your loss. Today, we’ll talk about some strategies that may help you work through your grief and emerge on the other side.

Be Thankful They Were Here

This person held an important place in your life. Honor and appreciate that. Look fondly on all the memories you made with your lost loved one, and reflect on the love they returned to you. Consider writing a diary of your memories with this person, and how those experiences have shaped you in a positive way. They are gone, but they are not forgotten.

Accept the Things Left Unsaid

86977b54ace01b026c3d84762c4207f5We are never ready to lose a loved one. Chances are, you feel like something was left unsaid or undone, and now you regret that your relationship was unfinished. You have to forgive yourself for all of these unfinished things. You have to forgive them for the sense of abandonment you suddenly feel in their absence.

Look For Signs that They’re Still With You

Don’t think that just because your loved one is no longer alive, that they are no longer with you. When someone transitions to the afterlife, their spirit is still here. That connection of love between you gives them a way to reach out to you. They may visit you in your dreams or send a butterfly to visit you in the park. Rest assured that their spirit is still with you.

Realize Death is a New Beginning

Let Go to Move ForwardRecognize that having a sibling or spouse leave this life, is not just the end of your time together. It is also a new beginning for you as you continue your life. The death of someone close tends to make us reflect inward a little deeper than usual. You may come to some new realizations about yourself as a result of this new and heightened consciousness. As you have these revelations, feel yourself being reborn into a new chapter.

It is understandable that you are hesitant to let go. It seems like that belittles the memory of the person you loved who is gone. But letting go does NOT mean forgetting someone who meant so much to you. When we talk about letting go, we mean letting go of the future you saw with this person together that will no longer come to pass. It is difficult, but it is necessary. You need this in order to set your new direction forward. When you do this, you give your soul and theirs peace and permission to move on. Encourage their spirit to move on by doing so yourself.

Lean on Each Other

Signs-That-a-Deceased-Loved-One-is-NearbyWere you the only one who loved your recently deceased family member? Probably not. A death often brings together people who haven’t seen each other in a long time. Everyone loves and misses the late loved one, but how often do we support each other after the funeral is over? Instead of coping on your own, lean on others who understand your loss better than anyone else, because they feel it too. Honor your loved one’s memory together.

Do Something in Their Memory

Are you particularly expressive or creative? Do something to memorialize your loved one and spread their light. You could write a poem or a paint a scene. You could contribute to an organization that supports the values they displayed. Whatever you do contributes positively to their legacy. Your loved one is gone, but not forgotten.

A Visit from the Deceased: How Does a Spirt Cross the Veil?

4

Have you ever felt the presence of a loved one who has died recently? Maybe you’ve noticed the smell of their perfume or felt the energy in the room is off somehow? Whatever experience you may have had, it may have indeed been a spirit trying to contact you from beyond. The important thing to remember, however, is that it takes a great deal of energy for a spirit to cross over the veil…to cross over into the physical realm. Because it takes so much energy, it’s important that you know how to make the most of a visit from your loved ones who are attempting to cross over so they can connect with you.  Here’s a look at a few ways in which you can be more aware and accepting of an attempted contact from a spirit in order to make the most of your limited time together.

Be on the Lookout for Revelations from Sacred Realms:

The spirit of a loved one may try to initiate contact through a sacred realm. Sometimes this means using a still-living entity to keep appearing to you and using it to assure you that the spirit will return or to show you where to look.

Communicating Through Premonitions:

5

Through a premonition, you may encounter beloved pets or other animals as well as deceased people. These entities will most likely have a message for you, or they may want to express that they still care for you and love you. It may also be a way of the spirit letting you know that they have suddenly passed.

Using a Creative Human Approach:

If you wish to practice and enhance your ability to communicate with spirits who are crossing the veil, it’s important to keep focused on your intention in order to increase your abilities as well as the number of visits. In order to do that, you and take a human approach…that is, share memories of the deceased loved one aloud with friends and family so that their memory remains alive and out there for them to hear. Regular meditation and trance work are also helpful, as it can increase possible approaches from spirits wanting to cross the veil. A creative and human approach to contacting spirits will enhance the likelihood of a successful visit.

Visiting with Spirits While Sleeping:

1

There’s no question that dreams are a viable and successful way to communicate with spirits. But it can also prove to be tricky, since it can be pretty difficult to control your dreams. A good way to help focus on the potential of the dreaming self talking to spirits is to keep a dream journal. This will help your dream recalling capabilities and aid you in remembering spirit visits within those dreams. Upon waking up and being still for a minute or two, write down everything you can remember about the dream from symbols and images to individuals that appeared.

If you can’t seem to recall the details of your dream, try writing down how you’re feeling. This may help you clue you in to where you’ve just been in your dream. By focusing on the dream realm, you’ll be telling your subconscious that you value its help and are open to messages from the spirits trying to come to you within your dreams. Be patient and you will eventually start to remember things and people that are appearing in your dreams.

One can never really know when a spirit will cross over the veil for a visit. But by being aware and open to the possibility, you should be well on your way to being ready to accept such a surreal experience when it happens!

Spiritualism Yesterday and Today

download (7)

If you have ever been involved in a seance or used a Ouija board or otherwise tried to contact the souls of the deceased, you have tabled in the practices of spiritualism.

What is Spiritualism?

The craze of the occult known as spiritualism swept the English-speaking world over the years from 1840 -1920.  It began in upstate New York but by the turn of the century  Spiritualism had almost 10 million followers in Europe and the United States.  It’s followers were mainly the upper and middle class.

The basic ideas behind Spiritualism say that the spirits of the dead want to communicate with the living. They are eager to talk and have a lot of wisdom.  Spiritualists turn towards the deceased for guidance on philosophical and personal issues.

Although it is associated with eccentricity  from flamboyant mediums and the reputation of wild seances, Spiritualism was viewed as a religion by its participants.

It wasn’t as organized as traditional religions and drew in many progressive women.  Suffragettes and supporters of women’s rights found comfort and friendship through spiritualism.

Ghost Mania

images (6)

Even Spiritualism has its roots in religion, the growth and recognition began to gain popularity in the secular world.   The Spiritualist Movement began to grow in popular culture, especially as curiosity gained hold.

This growth began in the post- Civil War environment as families were desperate to contact with the members lost through war.  Even Mary Todd Lincoln held seances in the White House.

Skeptics were put off by the popularity of the afterlife.  London had a Ghost Club that investigated the paranormal activity.  This Club featured Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens in their numbers.   This Club still investigates the para normal to this very day.

The spiritualist’s claims of the Antebellum era were  made ager pupils of those who studied the pure sciences.  They were fascinated by the idea that foreign spirits could be channeled by a human being on this plane.  The result of this was the publications of studies of the paranaromal featured in academic journals.

The scientific community was shocked and amazed  that their colleagues were conducting practical research in this topic.   Some scientists  began to work on exposing spiritualism as a fraudulent. Some actually became believers.

Seance Scene in Dr. Mabuse the Gambler

Spiritualism and Showmanship

The popularity of Spiritualism lay in the seance.  The seance was a popular entertainment  among the upper and middle class.  There would be a dinner party and for the post dining entertainment a medium with a well perfumed air of eccentricity would seat people around a table after instruction you to hold hands.  She would use a mystical incantation to put herself in a trance to bring on the spirits.  When the spirits took hold, the medium would speak in a voice different than her own and would move in a much different manner than her own.  This indicated that she was channeling a spirit.

Some mediums would call spirits that would be able to move and rattle the furniture.  One famous event was rapping noises.  The Fox Sisters became famous for channel led spirits and people traveled all over the world to see this . Some mediums would be able to get spirits to leave behind ectoplasm  as proof of their existence.

Why are Seances and Mediums So Different Today?

Seances and readings are not as theatrical today as they were at the turn of the century.

This due to the many readings and seances that were considered fraudulent.  Channeling a dead spirit is complicated business and mediums prefer to act as a go between for the spirit and living world.   Some spirits are not at all cooperative or even very clear.   Some are just downright unhelpful.

Mediums must have skill and training and luck.  When Spiritualism was at the height of its popularity, con artists took great advantage of people who were interested in both the chills and thrills of Seances and readings.

images (5)

These theatrics did indeed draw an audience but brought with it skepticism and doubt. This eventually destroyed the popularity of the industry.  The 1922 tell-all book Revelations of a Spirit Medium, broke the veil of mystery as it disclosed the secrets of these con artists.  The fanciful events were as entertain as theatre because it was theatre.

The Modern Face of Spiritualism

After the debunking of the con artists, public interest declined and seances and legitimate mediums were few and far between as Word Word II approached.

The legitimate mediums and dedicated practicers of Spiritualism survived. Psychics accept that spirits exist and have things to share with the living world.  Their contact with us is personal and not showy as it was a hundred years ago.  For today’s spiritualist, the thrill is in contacting the spirit.

Ouija Board: Do’s & Don’ts

What is a Ouija Board?

ouija-boardToday it’s a paranormal communication device currently marketed and sold by Hasbro as a board game. Historically, it’s a method for talking with the dead. Where does this come from? The ancient Chinese as a form of automatic writing starting over 900 years ago.

The modern Ouija uses a board with letters to spell out words, Yes/No for direct questions and even numbers. It uses a Planchette device (the pointer shaped like an upside-down heart) to communicate.

The modern board also has a dark reputation linked with possession, violence and even death. How much of that is true and how much is paranoia?

Some of that paranoia started with the movie The Exorcist: the story of a young girl being possessed by a demon. The movie shows the possession starting with the girl using a Ouija alone. The movie itself was fiction, but is based on a true story.

What happened in The Exorcist is not true, but the Ouija is not without danger, such as…

NEGATIVE ENERGY

It’s a focal point of energy from a group of people. This creates a buildup, all of which is not nice and positive that can build up and take over a session. Whether from the ghosts who carry it, like chains behind Jacob Marley in A Christmas Carol, or from a person in the group who had a stressful day.

But what is clear, the Ouija Board is not a tool of the devil, but instead a communication device that has it’s roots in the most ancient methods of energy manipulation, giving us a better understanding of the “other side”.

If you are thinking about trying to communicate with the spirits using a Ouija board is a fairly easy way to begin your exploration.

Some people are really nervous about using a Ouija or talking board for spiritual communications.

images (25)There is a concern that using a Ouija board could possibly be an invitation for dark forces to enter into the room. The use of Ouija or any other mediumship aid does warrant caution. Really, think about it. Do you leave your front door unlocked at all times? Or is there a neon sign out in your front lawn flashing 24/7 beckoning every stranger who walks past your street to step inside your home?

Of course not!

When you wish to communicate with the spirit world via the Ouija or another channel (automatic writing, visualizations, thought, etc.) it is best to be specific about “who” you are wishing to receive communications from. If you didn’t like to hang around with Uncle Jimmy when he was living, then you’re not likely going to be thrilled hearing from him beyond the grave either. Intention is key!

How to Use a Ouija Board:

I’ve listed below a few do’s and don’ts for using the Ouija Board – Ouija Etiquette if you will…

Ouija Board Do’s

  • images (24)Do darken the room and entice the spirits to visit by lighting some candles.
  • Do avoid possible distractions by turning off the television, cell phones, etc.
  • Do balance the board upon your knees if possible.
  • Do warm up the board by moving the planchette in circles or figure eight pattern.
  • Do be specific about who you wish to communicate with (Aunt Mary, personal spirit guide, Ascended Master, etc.)
  • Do be cordial to your spirit guests, although it is okay to ask them to leave if they are rude guests (using foul language, taunting you or your seance guests, etc.)
  • Do write down the messages letter by letter. Spirits often misspell, use slang, or will even txt speak.
  • Do have fun!

Ouija Board Don’ts

  • Do not use the Ouija board by yourself, it is best to get a buddy to assist you.
  • Do not confuse the spirit with questions from too many people, assign one person in the room to ask questions.
  • Do not ask questions you don’t want to know the answer to such as “When am I going to die?” You’re not going to get a serious answer to these types of questions.
  • Do not ask questions you already know the answer to like “What is my middle name?” It’s a seance, not a pop quiz!
  • Do not allow the invited spirit guest to control the session, you want answers, not a lecture.
  • Do not accept all communications as fact, discern all information given. Only accept what feels accurate in your gut.
  • Do not be upset if your seance is a bust, sometimes spirits don’t feel like talking.
