What To Expect In The Afterlife

AfterlifeBefore the spirit move to its spirit home, it is welcomed by loved ones, goes through a life review after crossing over into heaven. Living with other spirit energies of the same awareness with the same level of energy, mind and thought, the spirit home is where you are as a form of spirit energy.

You are a form of energy that interacts with other energies within your spirit home, but not all the time, and often you are in your spirit home with your own spirit guides. After you have been transformed from human to spirit you begin to more and more expand your energies, more into your spirit life than into what your human life was. Energies of only supporting and loving and caring and teaching will be energies that you will experience, for you have left your earth energies and emotions behind and so you do not have to experience fear and hate.

Spirit families can change somewhat and the reason that they change is because there will be spirits within your spirit family who will have chosen not to evolve, not to move on. There will be new family members who come into your family because they were able to evolve and move much faster into your group through their actions and spiritual evolution and the life lessons they learned in this most recent reincarnation.

You never feel alone when you return to your spirit life for your are met often by past family members in your most recent human life. Many of those family members will not be in your spirit family, however. But they are there because you still have your earth connection and they are there to greet you.

Though you are in this wonderful large spirit family that you have returned to and you are initially greeted and reconnected with all of your spirit family, you are then given a time to more-or-less have solitude and a time to become more comfortable in your own spirit being again.

A spirit can request to meet with an individual in heaven with whom they have a strong heart connection and wish to express thankfulness and gratitude for that impact that individual has had on the spirit’s past life. It is not necessary that that individual have had an earth acquaintance with the arriving spirit.

After a period of time one begins to totally disconnect from the physical connection that they still have with earth, and by that we mean the desire to go and explore, and recreate events that they experienced on earth. However, there will be times later in your spirit life when you can use your mental capacities to create a scene that you would like to be experiencing from earth.

As you move into your spirit life your connection with your loved ones is always there. You continuously have a capability for at least one-way telepathic communication and can see what is going on with all of your loved ones simultaneously regardless of their location. Though you have a knowledge that a new baby has been born into your former earth family, your connection to this infant is not nearly as strong as the bond that you have made with those that were there on earth when you were there.

As you have gone through your life review when you first crossed over, you now become part of a schooling about those lessons that you went to earth to learn about this last time and have a much more in-depth understanding about why you went and what you did and why you didn’t do it. And the spirit guide is there to help you understand the choices you made or the reasons that you did not learn that lesson or the reasons that you didn’t even become aware of the fact that you were there on earth to learn lessons. There will be no judgment.

One can finally say I am tired and I no longer choose to move from this place that I am in. I am happy right where I am. Oftentimes that means that you will have an entirely new spiritual family because many of your spirit family members do seek to move further ahead.

One can ask permission to go and visit other spirit families, whether they are of a stronger spiritual evolution or one that is not as strong spiritually as you.

You do not move around in your spirit life in the form of a human body though you can take that form when it is time to greet loved ones or if you are going to go and do a spirit visitation with a loved one. You will take that form for that is what the human still remembers you as. But you really are a form of energy light and depending upon your spiritual evolution you vibrate at different energy frequencies and light.

In heaven you pass no judgment of any sort and none is passed upon you. For those humans who live on earth who have a sense of hopelessness and helplessness, who have no deep connection to their mankind and feel this sense of emptiness, they no longer have that when they return to heaven.

There finally becomes a time in spirit’s evolution that you lose a sense of individuality. This is not as you on earth would consider it to be a negative experience but one where you are moving and vibrating at such high levels of energy that you know that you are vibrating as the oneness with the creator and all universal beings.

All the things that you love and enjoy and wish to be a part of from your earth experience no longer take on the same form they did on earth but instead you move into the energy that is created in those experiences.

maxresdefaultEnergy is what everything is made of. Energy is just the vibrational force that your spirit is evolving at at any given time. And the higher your vibrational forces are the higher amount of energy one has. And one tends to always have a high amount of energy when they are working within the love circle of God and are being positive.

One form of work that spirits do is to help the transformation from human life to spirit life.

Many times that what one will have found in their life on earth is something that was always a continuous theme from one life to another because they are actual workers in heaven and that theme is what is carried out in heaven as well as what was carried out on earth.

As a spirit you begin to move into energy levels of vibration that are words that you hear about on earth all the time–words of peace, words of contentment, harmony, forgiveness, compassion. As a spirit you are moving more into becoming all of those things at one time. As you begin to become these things you begin to move into your own higher spiritual being.

A spirit family grouping has a location that might be described as a collection of distinct spiritual energies, somewhat like lights on a Christmas tree. Energy vibration might be weaker, slowly pulsating, and others might be very bright, pulsating much faster.

Usually the current of energy as a spirit family unit moves fairly similarly when they all reincarnate though they don’t all necessarily reincarnate at the same time. Many family members may reincarnate and have similar experiences and similar likes.

Until a spirit has moved into its total knowingness of oneness with the Creator it will always continue life within spiritual family and groups.

You tend to share your primary spiritual family with those who have the same type of creative energies that you do and thus there are many secondary families in that consciousness level who have different creative energies but the same spiritual energies.

All spirits live within a spirit family and do not live as couples. The love that you would have felt for a mate on earth is not the same kind of spirit love you feel for that mate or that child or that parent.

Within a spirit soul family there are many spirit souls who are soulmates, and not just in the term of male and female, romantic love as you experience on earth, but soulmates of the heart who have shared different lifetimes together as perhaps friends, or sisters or some form of very close connection. It means that they share a special bond but the love that is on the other side is the love that cannot be comprehended from earth and that love is shared by all spirits.

Sex is not an issue in heaven. You have moved beyond that dimension in heaven and it is not an important role. It is not even, after a period of disconnect from earth, a part of the thought process for love is shared in many other ways.

Spirits that cross over as children do not stay as a child. They move quickly into their spirit being for they can much more readily accept their spirit being than those of adults.

Individuals upon earth, whether they are presidents, great leaders, not-such-great leaders, or entertainers, do not cross over into heaven with any more acknowledgment than any other individual. All spirits are accepted into the spirit world with love and equalness.

A spirit in heaven can communicate and/or induce effects on humans on earth in many ways. The spirit soul can make very definite contact with those left on earth, and occasionally can communicate through an object. Spirits can share a thought at the same time with the individual and the individual just knows that it has communicated with a loved one. Then there are those spirit souls who have not actually made the complete crossing over who will also make their presence known, often on a far more earthly level than any of the others.

Spirits occasionally make changes in electronic equipments or cause lights to flicker or some other mechanical or electrical effect because they are vibrating at such a different energy level it creates a disturbance within the electromagnetic field. Oftentimes individuals themselves who are experiencing the spirit souls can give off such an energy that they too can be the cause of electromagnet disturbances.

Spirits occasionally cause scents that humans can detect, such as cigar smoke or perfume.

Spirits can communicate with earthlings by means of tape recorded noise or even television or through telephone calls that seemingly do not originate from any place on earth.

Spirits have a great connection with their loved ones on earth from their most recent reincarnation. However, they do not sit and continuously watch the events taking place in the lives of each one of their loved ones. They have a very telepathic way of knowing when big events are taking place, when their loved ones are celebrating or in distress. They can have this telepathic connection with several family members throughout the world at the same time and are aware of what is taking place in each loved-one’s life.

At the time of human death you are immediately and even in the state of human coma of human beings you are immediately removed from the state of pain and fear, discomfort, sadness. You are able to observe what you are experiencing without having to feel the physical and emotional state that your body was in just prior to crossing over.

Some spirits monitor events on earth that may not be related to their immediate loved ones. Unless they have a loved one involved in it, though they may have an awareness of what is taking place, they do not connect to that event.

War is a man-made event and spirit guides and angels do not interfere with such events on a global issue. They do go and protect individuals but are not a part of the outcome of any war.

afterlife_600x337

The biggest influence the past loved ones on earth have upon spirits who are crossed over occurs when those that remain on earth hold on with such grief and to such a degree that it does not allow the person on earth to move forward and it keeps the spirit on the other side too earthbound to move forward in their life as well–into their new spirit life.

Expressing love and forgiveness from a human on earth can often help a spirit who has committed suicide be released to move into a full spirit being.

A human can make contact with the essence of a spirit in heaven even though that spirit has since returned to earth in a human form.

Communication in the spirit world takes place by a telepathic type of communication.

There are elements of privacy for spirits in heaven. It is an unspoken rule that, though everyone can telepathically read another individual’s thoughts and desires, there is no trespassing or violation of the telepathic abilities of spirits. They know immediately to the level that they can explore and communicate with any other spirit and do not use powers that they have to invade someone else’s privacy.

Once a spirit has obtained the actual level of a spirit guide and teacher they no longer make the transitions to and from the nonspirit world.

A human involved in a creative process often will have teachers and guides who will be assisting the human’s thought process on another consciousness level.

A spirit does not learn from the experiences of other spirits and does not become involved in the viewing of each spirit’s past lives. Its lessons are for it and it alone.

Within a spirit group there is a communication and a sharing of telepathic love and support to all of those within its group. It is not direct conversations such as you share on earth. Love is the biggest experience that spirits share together.

Spirits appear to each other as forms of light and different shades of light. As souls begin to advance in their spiritual consciousness, their light becomes different colors but, unlike on earth, one is not judged by the color that they are as a spirit soul in heaven. So there is no judgment or no sense of achievement when one moves from one vibrational level to another.

The essence of a spirit can move from one place to another. The actual spirit itself does not move from place to place but exists in one place. It can have observations in several different places at one time.

All humans return to earth with the energies of both male and female within themselves. The form that one returns to earth in, in a reincarnation of male or female, generally indicates which energy will be the more dominant one within this lifetime.

Music in heaven is an energy vibrational force and as on earth it is the vibration of a color or a vibration of a sound of music that is something that the spirit itself resonates with. On the other side you will enjoy music just as you enjoyed it as an earth being. You not only will hear it at your private times but you can be joined by other spirits who share the same form of music as you do.

A spirit gradually moves away from earthly experiences and three-dimensional pleasures and towards experiences which far exceed anything which might have been anticipated, including the vibrational energy of laughter and joy and pleasure. Creativity and fun and experiences of enjoyment do exist as a spirit whose energy has all of one’s experiences from every lifetime.

It is not necessary for spirits to eat and when spirit first crosses over it may desire to experience those earth sensations. But spirit does not eat food as you on earth experience it and, as it becomes more its own spirit being, the need for those sensations is no longer necessary.

Everything in heaven is done telepathically and so as a spirit chooses to visualize what it is they wish to be a part of, it is done telepathically and in a far deeper dimension. It vibrates at a much higher level and is felt more than seen.

Oftentimes, as on earth, when a spirit is working through levels of inner growth they will find their energy will reach a very strong high and then they will find that they will need to withdraw from such a feeling of high vibrations. It is not fatigue as you experience on earth but it is not a continuous way of life living in that high vibrational level.

A spirit can travel in heaven as though there were telepathic means of transportation that move at incredible amounts of speed. Sometimes a spirit may choose to experience a light shadow of earthly transportation forms, an essence but not a three-dimensional solid transportation experience.

If a spirit wishes to move anywhere, it always asks permission before it would make an actual transport. Spirits can move at a consciousness level lower than their own without any problem. Rarely do they move to higher consciousness levels but it is not a normal experience until a spirit is ready to move forward.

the-army-of-the-afterlife-rachel-e-monizDuring a short period of time after arrival in heaven many spirits will still experience three-dimensional earth home connections which are thought processes, spirit energy form, as to what home is, what home means, what the feeling about home is. These are not any type of three-dimensional experience but consist of the essence of a home, the essence of success, and the essence of good health. Spirits soon move totally into their spirit self and there is no need for a spirit to place itself in a three-dimensional environment in its everyday existence.

The very first thing that is created for a spirit as it makes its transition to the spirit world is a life review. It will move into every experience, every word, every look, every smile, every cry, every tear, every pain, every joy–everything that it ever experienced upon this earth and every individual it passed upon this earth whether it was just someone passing on the sidewalk. This will be done not in pain, or not in guilt or not in shame but just be reviewing what the totality of life on earth was and to see what lessons were learned and what lessons which still have to be worked with, both as a spirit being and again when you are another human being.

A spirit family group can decide that they wish to share a common environment which they would create, but generally each spirit reflects what it chooses to experience.

God is each and every item, each and every animal, each and every rock and tree, each and every individual being. God is in everything and everyone. The Creator has always been and always will be.

Everything on earth is just an individualized expression of who God is, but the actions that individuals take are not who God is. That is the actions of the ego and personality of the individuals.

Every living thing and every living thought is a manifestation of the Creator of everything. When you become aware that you are connected to everyone and everything, you become aware that you and the Creator are one. That is how your spiritual evolution evolves.

The concept of levels in heaven is useful for human understanding of the spirit world, but is not meaningful when one actually is in heaven. Spirits have different vibration levels of their energy which is transformed into light. Spiritual evolution occurs when a spirit moves into more of that oneness and more of that connectiveness to the Creator, influenced strongly by lessons successfully learned on earth.

There is no time in heaven. There is no measurement of time. It is just an advancement in one’s level of consciousness.

Spirit always lives within at all times every aspect of every being it ever was. Time travel, in the sense that you think of it on earth, is a continuous experience of every spirit soul being as they progress more and more into being their own spirit soul.

A spirit can often telepathically feel events that are going to take place in its past loved one’s lives. There are times when it will have seen enough into a loved ones’ immediate future to help give it a warning or to nudge it in another direction. But as far as individuals seeing into the future of what is going to be taking place in world events or universal events, they are not able to experience this future.

A spirit will not be destroyed. Some spirits may have a very low level of consciousness and be unable to evolve spiritually despite many earth lives. They may remain in heaven in that low level without further return to earth.

One’s spiritual consciousness does not evolve as quickly when remaining in heaven as it can through the life experiences in a three-dimensional earth-bound experience. Nevertheless, a spirit may choose not to reincarnate. Alternately, some spirits who have evolved from many lifetimes and who have reached a level of not needing to return to earth will continue their spiritual growth from their spirit self in heaven.

Spirits have no gender. Every individual upon earth has been both male and female but generally incarnates in most lives as one or the other gender.

Spirits have no names in heaven.

There is an animal heaven as well as a being heaven. Animals have their own place in heaven and their own evolution that they are experiencing about lessons they learned on earth. They too choose to evolve and when they reincarnate back on earth as pets they will become even more loving and more connected to their humans.

When on earth a human has shared a deep loving relationship with a beloved pet and that pet has crossed over before that human, it is always there to greet them.

There is a council in heaven of the highest spiritual beings. It is a council where spirit guides and teachers go to ask questions. It is the council of highest spiritual oneness and a council of the highest vibrational force before one moves into their total oneness with the Creator.

Heaven can be visualized as a gigantic sphere with an energy field, vibrations of energy, and coming from it could be called sunbeams, lifelines that connect to the planets where beings live. Heaven has no locational relationship whatsoever to any planets.

The number of spirit souls that live in heaven is very large, including those that have come from many other universes.

The Creator is aware of every single event, every individualized thought, and one can visualize the Creator as being this gigantic storeroom of knowledge. Also, each individual spirit that moves into its spirit soul carries the experiences of its life. And this is all a form of consciousness of events that have taken place within your world as well as those from other worlds. A spirit can tap into this collective consciousness of all experiences.

What we do know is that we have many lifetimes trapped within our cellular DNA, as evidenced by past life regressions. A common belief is that we lived too many traumatic past lives which would deter our present incarnation, but what if it were possible to view your past lives from the perspective of an observer? Imagine how much spiritual progression you could make by learning from your past lives?

Many of us are working just to survive. The best years of our lives are given away to the same people who enslave us through monetary compensation. When we finally get a day off or two, we are so drained that we end up staying home and watching television, hoping to get as far away from that which enslaved us.  Is this why we incarnated to this planet???

Upon crossing over, trust your inner guidance and continue to question everything, including any agreements such a soul contract.  Many of us did not agree to come here for the sole purpose of being an economic slave to a broken system of fiat currency.  We came here to follow our true, divine purpose for being here… to help humanity while growing as individuals.

Mediums – Are They Real?

mediums real

Could Mediums Really Be Real?

Have you ever asked yourself, “Are mediums real?” Have you ever gotten a psychic reading and been left wondering how a medium could know so much about dead people? Is someone providing them the information? Maybe there’s a secret something hidden somewhere? So many questions! So many doubts!

A long time ago, I admit I, too, thought psychics and mediums were just scam artists. My mother would drag me to tarot card parties, and most of the things I saw were completely over the top –theatrics, drama, black capes and such. To me, it was all just really weird.

It wasn’t until I had my own psychic experiences that I started to think that maybe I ‘d been wrong. Maybe psychics and mediums are real.

Skeptic to Psychic

I’ve always been a left-brained, analytical kind of gal. I reasoned that there had to be some science behind all the psychic phenomena. After all, if someone as skeptical as I was could have intuitive experiences, then I guess pretty much anyone could.

So, years ago, I decided I’d try somethin

g new. I decided to keep an open mind. I signed up for a psychic development class in an attempt to gain insight into what I was experiencing at the time.

Honestly, I left that class forever changed. I became completely fascinated by the world of psychic abilities and spirit communication. This marked the beginning of my journey into working as a professional intuitive reader and medium.

Are Mediums Real?

Mediums

Absolutely, mediums are real. But are all mediums real? Of course not.

There are certainly some people who claim to be mediums, but are not. If you haven’t ever had an experience with a real medium, it can be difficult to discern which ones are legitimate and which ones are not. So when trying to figure out if a medium is real, you’ll want to look for these things:

  • The medium is warm, positive, and uplifting. A real medium would never give you scary information. A real medium won’t tell you your loved one in heaven is not happy, or that your loved one is trapped in some limbo-like in-between afterlife. Those things simply aren’t true.
  • The medium will communicate a message from a loved one. Proving the continuity of life after death, and passing messages from the “other side” are two of the main tasks of real mediums. Some messages may be humorous. Others may be heartwarming and will provide hope and comfort.

How Can Mediums Know So Much?

Legitimate psychic mediums are incredibly accurate. This may lead people to believe that the mediums are using tricks, such as searching online for information about a client before a reading. Real mediums don’t have the desire to “cheat.” And most of them don’t have the time to cheat!

In reality, the more a medium knows about a client prior to a reading, the harder it is for the medium to perform the reading. Intuitive work is right-brained work and involves sensing. If a medium has knowledge about a client prior to a session, the left side of the medium’s brain kicks in with its analytics. So instead of sensing, the medium will be thinking. For this reason, most mediums like going into sessions “blind,” knowing nothing about the client.

Energy and Frequency

Energy vibrates at different frequencies. Positive energy has a high frequency, while negative energy has a lower frequency. Mediums have developed their extrasensory perceptions to the point where they can tune in to energy. So try thinking of it this way: a medium tunes into energy frequencies much like radios tune in to specific stations based on the stations’ broadcast frequencies.

In other words, real mediums can sense the various frequencies of different energies. One example is the energy of those in the spirit world. Spirit energy has a very high frequency.

Gentle and Subtle

mediums real 2

Information is not received by mediums in an overly dramatic way. It’s received more gently and subtly. It’s not really as flashy as the way it’s shown in TV shows and movies.

When a medium receives information, it’s not so much about lightning bolts, or suddenly being stopped on the road by some ethereal messenger. It involves things more akin to a few whispered words, or a feeling that suddenly changes, or a conviction in that you know something about someone in spirit without ever meeting them.

Okay, so mediums are real. But are mediums the same as psychics?

No. So…

How are Mediums and Psychics Different?

Have you ever heard someone talk about auras? Auras are an energy fields that surround every living thing, including plants and animals. Psychics can sense and interpret the energy of auras. They may also be able to feel peoples’ physical or emotional states, and even “see” things about the people in their own mind’s eye.

Mediums are also able to detect the energy of living things. But mediums can also detect even subtler energy–the energy of those in spirit. Spirit energy vibrates at a much higher frequency than the energy of the living, because there is no physical body to get in the way. In other words, mediums can communicate with the dead.

So basically, all mediums are psychic, but not all psychics are mediums.

How Mediumship Began

Many people consider Kate and Margaret Fox as the pioneers who brought mediumship to the world’s attention. Back in 1848, when the sisters were 12 and 15 years old, they were reported to have the ability to communicate with a man who had been murdered in their home. As the story goes, Kate would communicate, and the spirit of the man would respond by making tapping sounds.

As with other stories passed down through the ages, there have likely been embellishments and inaccuracies passed along. But it’s possible that people were communicating with spirits long before the Fox sisters were.

As a side note, the tapping sounds heard by Kate are a form of physical mediumship which includes other phenomena such as direct voice, levitation, and ectoplasm.

The Girl Next Door Could be a Medium

I guarantee this: legitimate mediums are not about blowing smoke and putting on a show. They’re average, every-day people who also happen to have the ability to communicate with the dead.

None of my neighbors suspect that I, a typical cookie-baking mom, give readings from behind closed doors via smartphone and Skype to people from all over the world.

And although most mediums consider themselves to be spiritual and heart-centered, and want to help people feel better, that doesn’t mean they don’t have bad days and even cuss sometimes! Well, okay. Maybe that’s just me!

The famous medium Maureen Hancock wrote a book called The Medium Next Door. If you’re interested in learning more about the life of a legitimate, down-to-earth medium, you’ll definitely want to read it.

Still Skeptical?

As a professional psychic medium, I definitely believe in this reality. But as I mentioned earlier, I used to be skeptical, so I totally understand where non-believers are coming from.

For now, in an effort to help you keep your mind open when considering the question, “Are mediums real?” let’s tackle a few common issues regarding mediumship.

The Myths Surrounding Mediumship

Some people believe that a medium who can’t quickly and accurately produce every detail about a person in spirit is a fraud. This is simply not true.

Real mediumship is about:

  • Delivering messages from loved ones who have passed to those who are still here on the earth plane. Mediums give a voice to those in spirit, and prove the continuity of existence after death.
  • Bridging the gap between the living and the dead. It’s not at all about telling some guy how many fingers he may be holding up behind his back.

More Reasons for Skepticism

Some people have been the victim of a fake psychic’s scam. Their response, which is understandable, is scoff at all mediums. These stories are heartbreaking.

For others, the religion to which they adhere sets strong standards about the role of mediums or psychics. I completely respect this, but I also believe that people have the freedom to do their own research and come to their own conclusions.

Others may have been told something outlandish that can’t possibly be trusted. “You were King Arthur in a former life.” Really? Come on. No one can prove that you were King Arthur in a former life. But a real medium will tell you things that you can actually validate, like your grandmother loved to sit and play the piano in the parlor on Saturday afternoons. Or that your mom tucked you in with your favorite stuffed blue rabbit every night before bed, and would search throughout the house to find it if it was missing.

When people ask me, “Are mediums real?” I honestly answer, “Yes!” because it’s in this subtlety that there is beauty, love, healing, and hope.

Proof of Mediumship

Even with opening minds and opening hearts, there are still many people who do not believe that mediums are real. If you yourself want to know about mediums in general, or if you’d like to learn how to develop your own gifts, why not begin an investigation to get the truth?

Organizations such as the Windbridge Institute and the Forever Family Foundation are working hard to scientifically prove the existence of mediumship.

And an increasing number of websites and blogs are working to take the falsehoods and the mysteries out of this field in an effort to bring people the pure, honest truth about psychic ability.

Keep an Open Mind

There was a time in the recent past when people would think you were insane if you answered “yes” to the question, “Are mediums real?” But there’s an increasingly more open-minded attitude. Mediums like James Van Praagh, Theresa Caputo and John Edward have gained the respect of millions of people. They’ve been profiled in books and on radio and television shows. The public in general is becoming much more tolerant and unbiased.

Have you ever watched the television show Ghost Whisperer? As the show is certainly first and foremost a means of entertainment first and foremost, not every episode is credible from the scientific side of the psychic medium equation. But some of the episodes really are.

Just a final note to remember: Your best tool to discovering if mediums are real is research. Just like what you’re doing right now.

The Best Gift I’ve Ever Had Came from The Other Side

cel-wrapping-01_300The season of gifting has come and most of us are very busy finding the best gifts for our friends, family, and loved ones. Of course, we want to gift them something meaningful but won’t hurt our pocket. To simplify things, always remember that little things mean a lot. Let that be your guide as you choose your gifts.

A Gift From the Other Side

The best gift I’ve ever received wasn’t material. It cost nothing. It was a gift from the other side. My grandson, who passed away at the tender age of seven years old, took me on a journey. It was like watching a movie. He showed me what he had been through, as he struggled to stay alive. I saw the many doctors who tried to save him. He was so tired.

download (6)The Struggle Ends

But he came out of that struggle, on the other side. He showed me that he was holding a beautiful cross covered in white flowers. In the center of the white flowers were red flowers, shaped like a heart. He showed me how whole and truly happy he was in his new, heavenly home. It was a beautiful thing to see.

A Future Reunion

I asked him if he wanted to come home with me. Reluctantly (because I am his grandma and he didn’t want to hurt my feelings), he said no. Then he told me he would see me later. He walked away, smiling.

Peace and Hope

My daughter was going through a period of indescribable anguish and confusion at this time, and when I shared her son’s gift to me with her, it gave her peace and hope that she could join him one day too in that most lovely place. Now my daughter lives her life with hope, strength and inner peace—all because my grandson gave me the gift of contact from the other side, 12 years ago.

images (11)Deep, Meaningful Gifts Are Meant to Be Shared

Deep, meaningful gifts tell our loved ones that we will always be there for them. When my grandson reached out to me, he gave me a deep, meaningful gift that I could share with others—namely, my daughter. I hope my story inspires you to really give from the heart. I hope this year, you see the season of gifting differently.

Channeling

Essentially, channeling means receiving messages or other communication from the spirit world and translating these messages to people on this plane of existence. It is exactly like working as a translator, but instead of interacting with two different cultures, you are working with two different phases of consciousness.

The act of channeling itself, involves someone’s physical body being used by a spirit for communication. Throughout history, shaman, prophets and other spiritual masters have communicated with the spirit world.

Today, these channelers are sometimes known mediums. The medium communicates with spirit guides who, in turn, help them to communicate with the other side. The channeler can interact with the other side without being consciously aware of it.

Some channelers can also communicate with more highly evolved spirits. These spirits can pass on universal wisdom to then be communicate with the world at large. Famous medium Edgar Cayce would release control of himself and allow the spirits to take over temporarily. The spirits then would communicate through him. Cayce would return to himself, unaware of the predictions he had made .
Some channelers use tools to help guide their energy. They can use cards, gemstones and crystal balls. Some use other talents such as the varying levels of clairvoyance. Channelers are very sensitive and blessed with the ability to empathize with others. They can reach out to the spirits who may be around us.

Almost everyone has an inherent level of psychic ability. This ability can be nourished and developed with commitment and dedication. If you wish to develop your own ability, you should work with a trusted, reputable psychic. You should also give yourself some time to sit and meditate. This meditation, when practiced regularly can develop your concentration, which you will need if you are to develop your psychic talents.

8 Indicators Your Child May See Ghosts

Baby-reaching-out-to-spirit-1Watching the movie “flick Casper The Friendly Ghost” as an adult gets me thinking about what kids are actually able to see. Dear Mom, have you ever seen your kid speaking to an imaginary friend? Every parent has at some point. It’s a pretty normal part of growing up process that indicates a child is tapped into his or her imagination. As a matter of fact, you, as a parent, WANT your child to have a creative thinking and it’s always a sign of their development, so you need to listen to them and know what their unseen friends look like.

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?

1. You will be spiritually awakened

When you open your third eye, your spiritual side wakes up.  You open up to the truth around you. Not only do yo see it, but you understand it.  You will see what the world really holds.  This sight will give you the motivation to be free and develop your life into one of love compassion and truth.   You will come to realize that you are connected to everything around you.

You will come to see that you have a positive place in the universe.

2. You will have a magnetic attraction

images (29)When you open your third eye, your entire chakra system will balance.  You will be filled with energy, and will find your power and harmony in the universe.  When all of these things fall into place, you will attract people as if you were a magnet.

3. You will sleep better

Your pineal gland, located near your third eye, controls your sleep cycle.  Once you open the third eye, you will be able to have greater quality sleep and vivid dreams.  With this eye open, you can open yourself up to all of the possibilities in your life.

4. Your sixth sense will also awaken

When your third eye opens, your intuition sharpens, giving you the chance to access your natural powers.  You will know things before they happen and you will be able to use your intuition to direct you to where you need to go.

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.

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.
