For everyone who still doesn’t know what a medium is.. It is a person who claims that they can sense things from the other side and talk to the dead. Now some of you may call bullshit already but I’ve done quite a few readings on books by mediums  and I found it quite astounding that most talk about the same key concepts. 

So things that Edgar Cayce (a medium from the late 1800’s, early 1900’s) say coordinate things with what James Van Praagh (a medium from our century) has to say.

Ofcourse this isn’t something scientifically backed up, but it makes me believe in a life after death, I don’t know about you.

Here are popular questions and the key concept behind them.

Is there a God?

• Yes, God is this pure loving energy form. It’s NOT something separate, NOT something that other people worship, but it’s all of us, it’s what we strive to be a part of. As most mediums say “we are all God”

Is there Heaven/Hell?

• The other side is a “Heaven”, it’s where there’s no unrest. There is no such thing as a hell though. People who have committed very bad deeds, don’t get punished by other forces, but their own negative vibe might punish themselves, as in all the negative thoughts and emotions will surround them and they’ll be unable to open up to the love and joy on the other side, the “heaven”. There are definitly a special type of spirit healers, sent to help them.

Can the dead hear me?

• Yes, they can hear you all the time all your thoughts/feelings, even though you might not be able to hear them. Your loved ones maybe close to you as the air that surrounds you. They are not gone, they are just at another place.

What’s the point of life and all these hardships we face in it?

• To learn and grow. It works like this: you are in this life for something, all the hardships you face is meant to help you learn from it. Souls come into the Earth to learn these lessons and when they leave the lessons they learn help them achieve a higher level of understanding. This higher level of understanding helps one become more closer to God and to become one with Him. So that terrible break-up you went through? Maybe to help you understand, independence and self-love. Souls come in and out of Earth many times (reincarnation). Each life time may help them learn a specific lesson.

Do we have soulmates?

• Yes! But not in the way you think. Soul mates don’t have to be romantic lovers, they can be best friends, brother and sister, son and father. A soulmate is someone you feel a very special connection to.

Is there such a thing as fate and destiny?

• Yeah there are things that are predetermined. Things like who you will marry, how many kids you’ll have, your career etc. However, it’s not set in stone, you have free will, and the power to change if you really wanted to.

I’m pretty sure you have plenty of more questions but that’s the main ones I got as of now. I recommend books by James Van Praagh or Concetta Bertoldi, basically go to the “New Age” section in your local library.

Maybe I’ll make another post, if this enlightened anyone at all. Feel free to send me any more questions you may have.

Well… this was interesting as fuck

Here are some more

Is there a devil?

• Yes! There’s bad as there is good. There are those creatures who haven’t seen the light, who are too afraid of the love and joy, because they fear rejection, they fear being punished, they don’t know that the other side and god loves all and accepts all. There are things of pure evil, but I think there’s more good than bad in the world.

What happens to those who commit suicide?

• Those who commit suicide, have troubled themselves because remember how you are supposed to come into this life to learn something new and take that with you? They’ve cut themselves off from this, and they’ve caused others much grief, and may have ruined others life plans (maybe they were supposed to be someone else’s wife or husband, and now that wife/husband can’t learn their lesson). They won’t go to hell, like I said before their own negative thoughts will hurt them. God/the other side, will always love them and are willing to accept them with open arms, they just have to learn to forgive themselves first. They maybe stuck in a limbo position, until that stage.

What about abortions/miscarriages? 

• From what I’ve read usually things like that are pre-determined. If a baby is supposed to be here for a short time, the soul of that baby usually already knows. James Van Praagh describes says sometimes some souls, can learn the lesson they were supposed to in the womb. What that lesson is, I have no idea.

   It wasn’t until the past decade where ghost hunting became a widespread interest around the world and despite the modern civilization.. many are still looking for them.. afraid of them and believing that they exist but do they?

Actually, much of this phenomena if you may call it is due to Syfy cable TV’s hit series “Ghost Hunters,” now in its 10th season of not finding good evidence for ghosts. The show spawned several spin-offs, including “Ghost Hunters International” and “Ghost Hunters Academy,” and it’s not hard to see why the show is so popular: the premise is that anyone can look for ghosts. The two original stars were ordinary guys (plumbers, in fact) who decided to look for evidence of spirits. Their message: You don’t need to be an egghead scientist, or even have any training in science or investigation. All you need is some free time, a dark place and maybe a few gadgets from an electronics store. If you look long enough, any unexplained light or noise might be evidence of ghosts.

The idea that the dead remain with us in spirit is an ancient one, and one that offers many people comfort; who doesn’t want to believe that our beloved but deceased family members aren’t looking out for us, or with us in our times of need? Most people believe in ghosts because of personal experience; they have seen or sensed some unexplained presence.

The science and logic of ghosts

Personal experience is one thing, but scientific evidence is another matter. Part of the difficulty in investigating ghosts is that there is not one universally agreed-upon definition of what a ghost is. Some believe that they are spirits of the dead who for whatever reason get “lost” on their way to The Other Side; others claim that ghosts are instead telepathic entities projected into the world from our minds.

Still others create their own special categories for different types of ghosts, such as poltergeists, residual hauntings, intelligent spirits and shadow people. Of course, it’s all made up, like speculating on the different races of fairies or dragons: there are as many types of ghosts as you want there to be.

There are many contradictions inherent in ideas about ghosts. For example, are ghosts material or not? Either they can move through solid objects without disturbing them, or they can slam doors shut and throw objects across the room. Logically and physically, it’s one or the other. If ghosts are human souls, why do they appear clothed and with (presumably soulless) inanimate objects like hats, canes and dresses — not to mention the many reports of ghost trains, cars and carriages?

If ghosts are the spirits of those whose deaths were unavenged, why are there unsolved murders, since ghosts are said to communicate with psychic mediums, and should be able to identify their killers for the police. And so on; just about any claim about ghosts raises logical reasons to doubt it.

Ghost hunters use many creative (and dubious) methods to detect the spirits’ presences, often including psychics. Virtually all ghost hunters claim to be scientific, and most give that appearance because they use high-tech scientific equipment such as Geiger counters, electromagnetic field (EMF) detectors, ion detectors, infrared cameras and sensitive microphones. Yet none of this equipment has ever been shown to actually detect ghosts.

Other people take exactly the opposite approach, claiming that the reason that ghosts haven’t been proven to exist is that we simply don’t have the right technology to find or detect the spirit world. But this, too, can’t be correct: Either ghosts exist and appear in our ordinary physical world (and can therefore be detected and recorded in photographs, film, video and audio recordings), or they don’t. If ghosts exist and can be scientifically detected or recorded, then we should find hard evidence of that — yet we don’t. If ghosts exist and cannot be scientifically detected or recorded, then all the photos, videos and other recordings claimed to be evidence of ghosts cannot be ghosts. With so many basic contradictory theories — and so little science brought to bear on the topic — it’s not surprising that despite the efforts of thousands of ghost hunters on television and elsewhere for decades, not a single piece of hard evidence of ghosts has been found.

Why many believe

Many people believe that support for the existence of ghosts can be found in no less a hard science than modern physics. It is widely claimed that Albert Einstein suggested a scientific basis for the reality of ghosts; if energy cannot be created or destroyed but only change form, what happens to our body’s energy when we die? Could that somehow be manifested as a ghost

While amateur ghost hunters like to imagine themselves on the cutting edge of ghost research, they are really engaging in what folklorists call ostension, or legend tripping. It’s basically a form of playacting in which people “act out” a legend, often involving ghosts or supernatural elements. In his book “Aliens, Ghosts, and Cults: Legends We Live” (University Press of Mississippi, 2003) folklorist Bill Ellis points out that ghost hunters themselves often take the search seriously and “venture out to challenge supernatural beings, confront them in consciously dramatized form, then return to safety. … The stated purpose of such activities is not entertainment but a sincere effort to test and define boundaries of the ‘real’ world.'”

If ghosts are real, and are some sort of as-yet-unknown energy or entity, then their existence will (like all other scientific discoveries) be verified by scientists through controlled experiments — not by weekend ghost hunters wandering around abandoned houses in the dark late at night with cameras and flashlights.

In the end (and despite mountains of ambiguous photos, sounds and videos), the evidence for ghosts is no better today than it was a year ago, a decade ago or a century ago. There are two possible reasons for the failure of ghost hunters to find good evidence. The first is that ghosts don’t exist, and that reports of ghosts can be explained by psychology, misperceptions, mistakes and hoaxes. The second option is that ghosts do exist, but that ghost hunters are simply incompetent. Ultimately, ghost hunting is not about the evidence (if it was, the search would have been abandoned long ago). Instead, it’s about having fun with friends, telling stories, and the enjoyment of pretending to be searching the edge of the unknown. After all, everyone loves a good ghost story.

As strange as it sounds, you may be able to keep in touch with a loved one after they have a passed on.  It may even be initiated by the dearly departed.   Your loved one may have a reason for trying to reach you.

Psychics have reported that clients have said that they feel the presence of a loved one.  The clients feel that their loved one is in trouble or feeling some kind of distress.

On the contrary, those who have passed over have several reasons for reaching out.  They simply want to reach out to you, knowing that you miss them, and they just want to reassure you that they are still with you.

They may also want to alleviate your worry about them.   When we lose someone, we tend to worry about words unsaid and other unfinished business. They may send you a sign, such as the scent of favorite flower.  You may also notice that a number or symbol appears with frequency.   This is your loved one reaching out to you.

If you haven’t received a sign, that fine.  They are still safe. They may not be able to reach out yet. They may need some time to adjust to their new plane of existence  just as you need to adjust to your loss.

Why do we have this need to hear from our loved one? Because we want to know if they have arrived safely and that they are getting along well.  When we know they are safe and happy. Once we have received  this knowledge we can relax.  Our family knows this about us and want us to live our best lives without them.

Our family in heaven wish us to know that they want to comfort us. As spiritual beings our bodies are only one facet of us.  The soul goes on forever. When our loved one sees our troubles and turmoil, they want us to feel supported when we are alone and missing them and when our lives are going through changes.

Psychics have reported that spirits will talk about significant events that they have observed. This may be surprising to us on this plane of existence because we haven’t told anyone about this.

This communication is simply a way for the departed to tell us that they love us and are always with us. We should be comforted and encouraged to know that we are not alone.

      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.
