THINGS THAT CAN BLOCK YOU FROM MEETING YOUR SPIRIT GUIDE.

Your angels, spirit animals and spirit guides in general are supposed to be connecting and communicating with you, offering guidance for your life and acting as a source of light and encouragement. If you aren’t experiencing this, what’s the problem? As it turns out, it’s probably largely you yourself that stands in your own way, as well as the way of your spirit guides! Everything from your attitude to even the things that you eat can affect the connection with your spirit guides.

Never fear, however, there are a lot of things you can do in order to open the channels again. You are the problem, and you are also the solution.

Here are seven common problems that almost everyone faces. Of course, there are many more that you may discover in your own journey, so take these as a beginning point of examination and take a good look at your own heart and lifestyle:

INEXPERIENCE

So you’re new to the spiritual work game. That is no big deal! However, it can trip you up a little if you don’t know what you’re doing.

The best practice is to not do much at all! Keep an open heart and mind, of course, but learn to relax your mind, perhaps through a daily meditation, hold onto your patience and keep your expectations realistic.

You can also practice heightening all of your senses and increasing your awareness. Again, don’t constantly be on the lookout, but instead open the channels of your receptiveness.

DISORGANIZATION

You attract what’s around you. Is your home a big pile of clutter with random objects lost in the fray? Is your desk even visible under those stacks of who-knows-what? The state of your affairs can reflect your heart. This is why space clearing is so important in Feng Shui. Clean space, clean spirit!

That’s the kind of spirit and environment that your guides are attracted to. Make things as easy as possible on them and create the most appealing, welcoming atmosphere to them, and let them get to work.

EXPECTATIONS

Waiting for a gigantic sign with life directions to fall out of the sky and hit you on the head…literally? It’s time to move on and instead focus on your bond with your guides.

You never know how your guides will contact you, and by setting your expectations even really high, you’re putting them in a box and limiting yourself more than anything. Sometimes the gestures will be big and grand; other times, they will be just mere feelings, gentle whispers in your heart or your ears, or a fleeting visual. Sometimes, these signs are even more powerful than a huge clap of thunder!

Find the small signs, and the big ones may or may not come. It doesn’t matter! Once you connect with your guides, you’ll realize that the sign and the journey with the spirits itself is what matters.

IMPATIENCE

If you’re constantly wondering and anxiously waiting for messages from your spirit guides, the internal turmoil and anxiety you’re building up could cause you to miss it all together! Plus, when you’re in this state, you aren’t having faith in your guides, you’re demanding to have your way and your results. Where’s the beauty in that?

Building up your patience also builds your trust in your guides, thus strengthening your bond all the more. When you’re facing challenges, you can still know that your guides have your best interests at heart, and that they will be there for you at just the right time.

When you aren’t looking for it, all kinds of great things can happen unexpectedly. With a stronger bond with your guide, you’ll start to recognize that the coincidences that seem so fortuitously timed are intentional messages and guidance from the spirits who care about you.

DRAMA

The chaos of certain relationships and situations can certainly be the utmost distractions. When you’re constantly squabbling with an acquaintance or trying to make everyone happy, you yourself aren’t happy. You’re agitated, likely closed off, and unfocused. This can make it hard to connect with your spirit guides.Ask your guides to help you clear your heart. Get rid of the negativity and fear and replace it with the peaceful, loving energy of positivity. Also ask your guides to help point out any relationships that you may have outgrown, ones that are only slowing you down and harming more than helping. It’s okay to trim backrelationships that are draining you of valuable emotional and spiritual energy.

While it’s important to still love everyone around you no matter what, it’s your choice who to pour yourself into. The more negative energy you collect around yourself, your friends included, the harder it will be for your spirit guides to connect to you.

FOOD

Humans are clusters of energy waves, moving faster and faster all the time. As a human you have agreed tosee yourself as solid forms through consensus reality. Everything you do and think, everything you eat anddrink, in fact, everything you put into and around your body effects the overall vibration of your entire being. After all, we are energy, and food is energy for us, thus affecting our energy overall.

Therefore, it is quite essential that you pay attention to the vibrations of the foods you eat. When you eat foods that have a high and rapid vibration, you are more able to hold a strong, healthy, exuberant and joyful state. When, on the other hand, you eat foods of a slower, lower frequency, you lower your vibrations and, wonder why you don’t feel quite so good that day.

Each of us has a signature vibration; each food you ingest contributes to that vibration. Here are some of the foods for lower vibrations that you should avoid, not just for nutrition and toxin’s sakes: • Genetically modified (GMO) food, and conventional food that’s been treated with chemicals and pesticides

• White rice and flours
• Sugars, sweeteners (artificial etc.)
• Coffee
• Sodas
• Alcohol
• Meat, fish and poultry
• Processed, packaged, canned and fast foods
• Unhealthy oils, like canola, cottonseed, margarine, and vegetable oils
• Frozen foods
• Pasteurized cows milk, yogurt and cheese
• Cooked foods, deep fried foods and microwaving food

OVER ANALYZING

Our egos can be one of the biggest trip-ups of all. When it’s chattering away in our ears that it knows best, tell it to be quiet for a bit! When you’re analyzing everything, you can break the connection with your guides. Some of the sweetest moments come when you have sudden clarity and insight that you haven’t seen before.

Your guides want you to have faith in them, and it also creates the space for all the miracles they want for you. They may not be earth-shattering and crazy every time, but by letting them come to you instead of dissecting every little thing, you can reap their benefits more often and be amazed by their simple beauty.

MEDIUM, SPIRIT COMMUNICATION.

How mediums use telepathy with spirits to gain information about the Spirit world.

 Getting Your Message Across.

When you first arrive in the spirit world it will take you a little while to get used to using telepathy. At first it will appear as if people are talking to you normally, since this is the method of communication that you are used to. However, you will then notice that it only appears that they are talking. You are “hearing” their thoughts as spoken words. Similarly, you will notice that your own thoughts and feelings are completely transparent. The first spirit people you meet will “hear” your words as those thoughts form, before the words actually leave your mouth.

The same form of telepathic communication is used to communicate with the material plane. Unfortunately, you will find that most of the people you may try to communicate with are completely oblivious to your communications. Some may interpret your thoughts and sense, see, or even smell you. However, if you want to get a detailed message across, you will need to find someone who is telepathic and, most importantly, is aware of the telepathic signals from you and your spirit friends.

MEDIUMS COMMUNICATING WITH SPIRITS OF THE DEAD

A medium is used by the spirit people as a vehicle for communication between the two worlds. Onlookers assume that the medium is able to see the spirit person standing near them and can hear their voice speaking to them. Some mediums encourage this belief by saying things such as “I can see so-and-so standing by you” or “he is saying such-and-such.” This is not actually true.

Mental mediums perceive the spirit communicator inwardly. When we say we hear a voice, it is an inner voice that we hear. You may hear a tune inside your head or remember the voice of someone speaking–this is very similar to the way mediums hear the spirit. The name given for this type of spirit communication is clairaudience. Intuitive clairaudience is a subtle condition which can be described as listening-in to soundless words. The medium is aware of an impression of hearing, as word forms come into consciousness.

Similarly, a medium feel sensations when a spirit is communicating. For example,may feel the physical conditions they had when on earth,  or get impressions of their personality. This sensing is called clairsentience. may see mental effigies showing the events from the spirit person’s life, see their face, or perhaps see pictures of places that were important to them. This perception of images is usually called clairvoyance. (Strictly speaking, clairvoyance is defined by parapsychology as an aspect of extrasensory perception in which an object or event are perceived without the use of the known senses.)

How do spirits communicate?

When you have passed to the spirit world  you may get the opportunity to communicate through a medium. A little learning now about the art of spirit communication may help you a great deal when you enter the next life.

A medium cannot make a spirit person communicate with them. We have to open our awareness and see what comes. I am not like an open telephone line to the other side. What happens is a form of telepathy, not between me and the person with me but between the person in the spirit world and me. I “see,” “hear,” and “feel” the spirit–you will remember that we call these faculties clairvoyance, clairaudience, and clairsentience. By putting these impressions together I am able to build a picture of the communicator and prove that the human personality survives death.

HOW WOULD YOU COMMUNICATE WITH A MEDIUM?

If you were a spirit person now, what would you say to someone you loved to prove that you are actually you? Imagine you find yourself on the spirit side of life and are able to use your mind telepathically. Suddenly you realize that you are aware (“hear”) the thoughts of a medium asking his or her spirit guides for assistance in communicating. You may even sense the medium’s anxiety about getting the facts right. Surrounding you, the medium’s spirit guides and helpers are ready to help you project your thoughts–to use your mind to influence the medium’s mind.

When you send a thought to the medium, you quickly learn that he or she is not a clear channel. Although you can communicate with full clarity telepathically with other people in the spirit world, it is a difficult process communicating with the living. You may say (or rather think) “My name’s Jack,” but as soon as the thought is received, the medium’s own mind alters it.

Mac?” the medium’s mind offers as message. “Is this part of the name? Or someone who used an Apple Mac computer? Or loved Big Mac hamburgers?” You immediately realize it is not going to be as easy as you thought. In a way, it’s like the party quiz of a spoken message passed down a long line of people. By the time the last person gets the message, the meaning has almost surely changed beyond recognition. As mediumship skills advance, it becomes much clearer whether words and impressions received are actually spirit directed or figments of the self.

AN OPEN MIND

Fortunately, communication between the worlds is not always as bad as the example given. Sometimes, if a medium is completely open and keeps a still mind, it is possible to convey thoughts with clarity. However, you will soon discover–the medium’s spirit guides will help you–that it is easier to plant ideas into the medium’s mind using feelings and images than words and numbers. You need to project your “personality” into the medium’s mind so he can relate to his sitter the type of person you are. Once this is accepted, you can also give him easy-to-see images or pictures of places and scenes from your life. What pictures and impressions would you provide to prove that you are, indeed, you and not someone else?

The spirit guides will be aware of the medium’s interests and knowledge. For example, the medium may love music and have a wide musical knowledge. If this is the case, you may be able to project to him your favourite tune, or one of the tunes played at your funeral. A medium with a good knowledge of music is more likely to “get” the tune you are giving him. Similarly, if the medium has a good sense of direction and knowledge of geography, you may be able to more easily show him places that were important to you in life. A memory of the streets of Paris, France, for example, may be recognized by the medium, who is then able to name this city as being significant to you.

Given the inherent difficulties associated with spirit communication, what could you provide to, as much as possible, specifically identify you as the spirit communicator? Supposedly, you can’t give your usual basic information (name, address, identification number) because the medium’s mind is not receptive to this type of information. With the communication limited to sensations and visual impressions, what could you give to the medium?

THE LIMITATIONS OF MEDIUMSHIP

could give the impressions that you felt before you died. You may be able to project sensations that describe the progress of your illness and your passing. If there was an accident, you may be able to give the impression of traveling at great speed prior to a crash, falling from a height, or being hit by something. This type of impression is more easily perceived by the medium and translated into meaningful messages to the sitter. Of course, since your bodily death, you are free of pain and disease but the reality of it is likely to be something that is still very much on the mind of the sitter. Most importantly, evidence you are able to provide as to how you passed over can stand as proof that it is you communicating. You may also be able to give the sitter reassurance that you are now free of suffering.

While you are communicating, it is up to the medium to keep his mind as clear as possible and not interfere with or try to make sense of the impressions being sent him. I have noticed, in my own mediumship, that things go awry as soon as I attempt to “take hold,” interfering with the impressions I am getting. When I, in the midst of receiving mode, try to make logical sense of the pictures and sensations, I fall over. Quality mediumship is an uninterrupted, uncensored flow of information. As I jokingly, and rather grossly, tell my pupils: “Accurate mediumship is like verbal diarrhoea! Just let it flow.”

HOW MEDIUMS WORK: Proving the Survival of Your Personality

Your personality doesn’t go though a massive transformation when you go to the spirit. Actually, you remain comparatively unchanged. Some of your cherished beliefs may be undermined, but the fundamental qualities of your personality remain fixed. Sadly, you will not become a demigod, even though your loved ones on earth may begin to idealize you as such–no matter what they thought of you when you were with them–since now you have seemingly all-knowing messages to pass to them from the beyond.

No, grumpy old Uncle Bill will still be grumpy old Uncle Bill when he gets to the spirit world. If he was a grumbling old fart in this life he will remain so in the world beyond. The human personality doesn’t change very quickly during our earthly life and there are no sudden transformations either when we enter the spirit state. We may become more aware of our faults and have a clearer insight into ourselves and the mistakes we made during life, but the human personality itself remains relatively unchanged

How would you communicate from the Spirit World?

If you think about your own nature, how much have you changed since you were a teenager? You may be a little mellower in your behaviour but the fundamental qualities that make up your personality probably haven’t changed a great deal. It takes “spiritual” effort to bring about a metamorphosis of the personality. Changing ourselves into more spiritually aware beings is, in my opinion, the reason we have been given access to earthly bodies. This is the objective of most spiritual disciplines, and for most people the changes within only one lifetime are marginal.

You can therefore imagine how much more difficult communication gets if grumpy old Uncle Bill is the spirit communicator. Not only must the message get through the interference of the medium’s mind and the blocks created by the sitter’s own aura, but we also have to get Uncle Bill’s participation. He may be very stubborn and not like being asked to speak. Similarly, he may not have said much in life and is not especially inclined to be more talkative from the spirit plane. Too, many spirit communicators can become quite shy about speaking out!

If you ever try communicating through a medium when you are dead, you will soon realize that it is a tricky business. In addition to the personalities involved, you have to slow your astral vibration in order to “sink” to the earth plane. You next have to attune your consciousness with the mind of the medium. This spiritual overshadowing is a difficult astral art that may require practice and instruction from the spirit helpers of the medium. It is also a strange experience to the newly dead to feel your inner world blend with the inner world of the medium, who becomes aware of your whole personality and earth memories. (Think mind-meld.) It’s a job to keep any skeletons in the closet when communicating telepathically!

Understanding mediumistic perception

The medium’s view is quite different. The brain is an organ of perception for creating images from the sensations that come from the five senses. It makes sense of the material world by generating images of reality. In many ways, the brain is similar to the computer I am using to write this book. If the computer goes wrong, or gets a virus, then my words may be destroyed or jumbled. If things go really bad, the machine may crash or become completely unusable. However, “I” am not the computer. The computer is my means of processing and communicating information and ideas. Add a modem and camera and it becomes a means of perception as well. The brain is an immense organic computer but “I” am not the brain.

I have already spoken about telepathy, the ability of people to share thoughts through something other than the normal five senses. In your everyday life, you may “know” when someone is about to telephone you, or you may sense a person’s mood before you see his or her face. If you are proficient at telepathy, you may be able to perceive much more detailed information. This would indicate that thought is not limited to the confines of the brain but can extend beyond it. Telepathy is a fact, and there is a great deal of proof to show that the whole of human consciousness can exist beyond the body.

Extra-sensory perception

Extra-sensory perception and out-of-body experiences illustrate that it is possible for consciousness to exist independently of the body. My own view is that the brain is just our doorway into the material world. Human consciousness is not limited to the brain but extends in all directions. The extent of the reach of consciousness may be limitless.

Mediums believe that we are not prisoners of the brain. We are free. When we die, we live independently of the brain as, even now, part of us lives independent of the body. A portion of our consciousness is unborn and exists permanently in the spirit world. It may be the source of our sense of identity. I believe that I am able to do mediumship because I am in touch with this part of my being. I can blend with it simply by looking within myself.

NEGATIVE THOUGHTS & THINKING AND THE EFFECTS

At times, we all have a negative attitude as a consequence of letting ourselves go through negative thoughts. It is easier to complain than to make an effort to see the positive side of everything.

However, if we were more aware of the effects of negative thinking, both in the moment and in the long run, we would surely choose differently.

Where do negative thoughts come from?

Negative thoughts are caused by ingrained patterns related to our own beliefs: about self-esteem, security, money, people, life, and everything else. For instance, you may have thought at some point that life is difficult. Then, whenever you felt that life was being difficult, your thought was reinforced and grew on to being a belief. By now, you may be 42 and fully believe that life is difficult, as you've made a habit of believing that. However, it is never too late to start discovering yourself and what your thoughts tend to default to. Self-knowledge and self-understanding surely take time, but the rewards are enormous.

You will start seeing the picture of your life much clearer as you understand what beliefs cause you to think in a negative way.

What are the effects of negative thinking?

The following are some of the most common effects of negative thinking:

1)  Feeling down.

 The extent of negative feelings can go from anger, frustration, irritability, to even anxiety and depression, passing through many other feelings, none of them pleasant.

2)  Physical effects The body lowers its defenses, as negativity subtracts from our energy .Because of the emotional negative state we're in, it's also easier to see oneself less attractive and not care for our physical needs. Besides, an extreme negative emotional state can cause eating disorders: from over eating to a complete lack of appetite and not eating enough (and not caring about it)

3)  Closing oneself down to possibilities and the flow of abundance. When we are in a negative state we do not attract those elements that would make our lives advance; rather we attract the circumstances that support us in thinking something is wrong, and we get stuck. Simply put, when we stay thinking negative, we attract negative emotions and events. Thus when one is in a negative state everything seems to go wrong.

4)  A negative effect in others.

 Have you ever wondered how you may be affecting other people because of the way you feel? Think about when a relative, a friend or someone at work seems to be having a bad day and how you feel when you come in contact with them. You could be making others feel the same way when you are wrapped in your own negative thoughts

5)  It's a waste of time!.Look at all the effects of negative thinking explained above; can you tell me one single benefit of thinking negatively and being in a negative mood?

Any other than the realization that it's much better to think positively, negative thinking doesn't contribute to our lives; rather it detracts. Effects of negative thinking in the body. One of the serious effects of thinking negatively is that it  can cause physical illnesses and disease.

Let's talk positive.

Switching to positive thoughts is just a matter of making a conscious effort. To get rid of negative thoughts you need not fight them, but rather replace them for positive ones, just like you can replace the beliefs that don't serve you for those that do serve you.

When we start to have negative thoughts, it’s hard to stop them. And it’s much easier said than done to shift your focus to positive thoughts. But, it’s the only way, especially if you want to avoid going down a path that is painful and unnecessary.

10 Tips to over come negative thoughts

1)  Meditate or do yoga. It takes your  focus away from  thoughts and brings your  attention to my breathe. Yoga or meditation is also very relaxing which helped ease the mind.

2)  Smile. It really does help change your mood and relieve stress.  it takes fewer muscles to smile than to frown.

3) Surround yourself with positive people.When you’re stuck in a negative spiral, talk to people who can put things into perspective and won’t feed your negative thinking.

4) Change the tone of your thoughts from negative to positive.For example, instead of thinking, “We are going to have a hard time adjusting to our living situation,” think, “We will face some challenges in our living situation, but we will come up with solutions that we will both be happy with.”

5)  Don’t play the victim.

You create your life—take responsibility.Even if our living situation becomes unbearable, there is always a way out. I will always have the choice to make change happen, if need be

6)  Help someone.Take the focus away from you and do something nice for another person.

7)  Remember that no one is perfect and let yourself move forward.It’s easy to dwell on your mistakes,  learn from your mistakes and move forward.

8)  Sing.This might sound silly, but When we sing, we show our feelings and this provides an amazing stress relief.

9)  List five things that you are grateful for right now.Being grateful helps appreciate what you already have.

10)  Read positive quotes. place Post-It notes with positive quotes on your computer, fridge door, and mirror as reminders to stay positive.

The more you think negativetly the more you draw this energy to you.

SELF HELP FOR ANXIETY

There are some general strategies that anyone can use to help manage their anxiety. Although it is always a good idea to seek professional help if you have an anxiety disorder, especially in more severe cases, help is not always readily available. Even if you do decide to seek help, there are still a number of things that you can do on your own to better manage your anxiety.

Although there are specific strategies aimed at helping people cope with different types of anxiety problems, these are some general strategies that can help anyone who is experiencing problematic anxiety:

1. Learning about anxiety
2. Learning to relax
3. Challenging anxious or worrisome thoughts
4. Facing fears

HOW TO DO IT!

Step 1. Learning about anxiety

This is a very important first step because it helps you understand what is happening to you when you experience anxiety. Remember that knowledge is power, and just knowing why you are feeling anxious is a good step toward managing your anxiety.

What you need to know about anxiety:

• Anxiety is normal. Everyone experiences anxiety at some point in time. For example, it is normal to feel anxious when on a rollercoaster or before a job interview.
• Anxiety is adaptive. It helps us to prepare for real danger (such as a bear jumping out of the woods) or performing at our best (for example, it motivates us to get ready for an important meeting or presentation). When we experience anxiety, it triggers our “fight-flight-freeze” response and gets our body ready to defend itself (for instance, our heart beats faster to pump blood to our muscles so we have the energy to run away or fight off danger). Without it, we would not survive.
• Anxiety can become a problem when our body reacts when there is noreal danger. It can be helpful to think of anxiety as a smoke alarm. A smoke alarm can help protect us when there is an actual fire, but sometimes the alarm goes off when there isn’t a real fire (e.g. burning toast in the toaster). Like a smoke alarm, anxiety is helpful when it alerts us to real danger. But when it goes off when there is no real danger, then we may want to fix it. We don’t want to take the batteries out of the alarm in case there is a real fire, but we do want to fix the alarm so that it doesn’t go off every time we make toast.

For more information see What is Anxiety.

Step 2. Learning to relax.

The second step involves learning to relax. Two strategies can be particularly helpful: calm breathing and muscle relaxation.

1. Calm Breathing: This is a strategy that you can use to calm down quickly. We tend to breathe faster when we are anxious, which can make us feel dizzy and lightheaded, and even more anxious. Calm breathing involves taking slow and gentle breaths. Breathe in through the nose, pause, and then breathe out through the mouth, pausing for several seconds before taking another breath. For more information, see How to do Calm Breathing.
2. Muscle Relaxation: Another helpful strategy is learning to relax your body by tensing various muscles and then relaxing them. This strategy can help lower overall tension and stress levels. It also helps you to be more aware of when you are feeling stressed. For a detailed description of muscle relaxation, see How to do Progressive Muscle Relaxation.

Step 3. Challenging anxious/worrisome thoughts

When we are anxious, we tend to see the world as very threatening anddangerous. However, this way of thinking can be overly negative and unrealistic. One strategy for helping you to manage anxiety involves replacing “anxious” or “worried” thinking with realistic or balanced thinking. This strategy involves learning to see things in a clear and fair way, without being overly negative or focusing only on the bad. However, it takes time to shift anxious thinking, so be patient and consistently practise these skills. For more information on identifying and challenging anxious and worrisome thoughts, see Realistic Thinking.

Step 4. Facing Fears

The final and most important step in managing your anxiety involves facing your fears; this is called exposure. If you have been avoiding certain situations, places, or objects out of fear, it will be important for you to start exposing yourself to those things so that you can get over your fears in the long run. However, it is usually easier to start with something that is not too scary and then work up to the things that cause a great deal of anxiety. Start by making a list of feared situations, places, or objects, such as saying “hi” to a co-worker, entering a crowded grocery store, riding the bus, or anything else that you are avoiding. Once you have made a list, try and arrange them from the least scary to the most scary. Starting with the situations that cause the least anxiety, repeatedly enter that situation and remain there until you notice your anxiety start to come down. Once you can enter that situation (on numerous occasions) without experiencing much anxiety, you can move on to the next thing on the list. For more information please see Facing Your Fears – Exposure.

Building on Bravery

Learning to manage anxiety takes a lot of hard work. If you are noticing improvements, take some time to give yourself some credit: reward yourself!

How do you maintain all the progress you've made?

Practise! Practise! Practise!
In a way, learning to manage anxiety is a lot like exercise - you need to "keep in shape" and practice your skills regularly. Make them a habit! This is true even after you are feeling better and have reached your goals.

Don't be discouraged if you start using old behaviours. This can happen during stressful times or during transitions (for example, starting a new job or moving). This tendency is normal, and just means that you need to start practising using the tools. Remember, coping with anxiety is a lifelong process.

WHEN A CHILD GOES BACK HOME TO THE SPIRIT WORLD.

When a Loved one goes back home to the spirit world.

It is very important, that you understand, that there are times when you will be overcome with grief- for example, the most common cases of not being able to let go completely, is with parents who have lost children.

When this happens, to parents, they often fall into a grief pattern of not being able to accept what has happened, and thus do all they can, to continue to keep connecting, or keep the memories fresh. 

Another part of this, is guilt- A lot of parents blame themselves for the passing, feeling as though they have "let their children down" or that they could have done more, to prevent this from happening.

What must be noted, is that, the child who has passed, has done so, for the benefit of the family, and their soul mission. Of course, it does not seem like any sort of benefit at the time, to anyone! But, this is always a soul agreement, between parents, and children-one that was to prop ell, the parents into a new life, and way of thinking- and to reach their own soul potentials and goals.

It is a beautiful thing, and as sad as it is, family members always need to remember that the child is protected, comforted, loved and happy as can be in the spiritual realm. They will be there, acting as guides, as you go into your future as well.

A lot of children who pass over, also stay close to the mother, and if she should decide to have another child, the spirit, may decide to come into the Earth again.

This is a choice the soul makes.

Most of all, the children that pass do not want to see their family grieving- especially if it is stopping the person from functioning in a normal way. 

What I mean by this, is that, some never do go onto their true path- instead, they spend their lived grieving, and in some cases, falling into deep depression, and even in most extreme circumstances, take their own lives.

The children who have passed, want their family to go on with their life in happiness. Of course, it is only natural to mourn your child, and grieve periodically for them. But you have had a unique experience, that only those who have lost children understand. You may in the future, be able to help others, who are also in your position, or even help children in some way- the list of things that are possible for you, are endless. 

Never feel as though you are personally punished by God. This is not true- you punish yourself enough!

Always do your best to remember, that the soul agreement was for this to happen, in this way. In the past, on Earth, YOU may have been the one to make just this sacrifice, in order for spiritual growth of your family.

Always remember, most of all, that you are loved eternally by your child, and your child wants nothing more, than for you to accept yourself, for the wonderful person that you are, and go on in life, living your dreams, and making your life as wonderful as it can be.

You are wonderful, and a strong soul, if this has been your soul contract with your child. You can achieve more than you imagine, by having this experience, and using it for the benefit of yourself, your family, and those who you may be able to help along the way.

Please know, that your child loves you eternally- and can hear your words, see your pain, and love, and also can be with you at any time. You may not always physically see them, but they are there.

I hope this has helped someone out there, and as you have read this, be assured, that your child is with you now.

HOUSE NUMBER MEANINGS.

Remember the house where you lived before. Each of them has its own special atmosphere and energy. Some were quiet and cozy, others – like bright and inviting to guests. Numerologists believe that the character of the house directly affects the number.

Particular attention should be given a house number, in which there are duplicate numbers, e.g. 11, 22 or 33.

THE SPIRIT WORLD, AND WHY THERE IS NO TIME THERE.

What is  “The Other Side” is really like?

Most are surprised to learn that the Spirit World is very much like our own, except that truth and love reign supreme and reality is created at the speed of thought.It’s hard for us in this world to understand, but there is no time in the spirit world; or any clocks, calendars, or dates.

This is a timeless dimension. Spirits do not contend with issues of time and all but the most advanced do not even understand it anymore. Many of the facets of earthly life have become like a dream to them.

Speaking of spiritual dreams, the way for you to begin to understand timelessness is by recalling your physical dreams. Time, during dreaming events, is often blurred and nonsensical. Example: In a dream, you can be in one certain place and another place a thousand miles away in a mere instant.

And, you can be in the year 2011 and suddenly find yourself dreaming you are in another time period, without any sequence of time happening.  This happens because in dreamtime, you can tap into the Reality outside of linear time, where time does not exist and all potentialities exist together. As in your dreams, the Greater Reality–the spiritual foundation of our existence–operates with thought or the expression of Consciousness and all events that occur in a physical timeline happen at once in an instant.

Even though there is no time on the Other Side, no schedules, no limits, there is an infinite array of things to do, to be, and to experience. How this plays out for the individual who crosses over will depend on the level of his/her consciousness and the entrenched beliefs that splay from the root of that person’s awareness and their spiritual development achieved during the physical lifetime.

In the Spirit World, what we believe and what we expect is what we will get. Consciousness, and the beliefs that give rise to perceptions and experience, are the builders of reality in the Spirit World.In the Spirit World there are vistas of indescribable beauty. The colors are alive with light and vibrant to an exquisite degree.

People go fishing (if they loved to do so in physical life) and they walk their beloved dogs who crossed over before. They eat wonderful food, can make love and create music; because, this is the Paradise of lore. People generally assume the appearance of a physical age where they were the most comfortable and happy during their physical life, or to be recognized most easily by loved ones on earth.

Because consciousness and personal development shape the reality one experiences when crossing over, those with a more negative consciousness will experience situations that reflect their mindset and the energy emissions that were prevalent in earthly life.

Some might call this Hell, although there is no such place taught by religions about eternal suffering in fire and brimstone.

While these can be very unpleasant experiences, once the inner Light and the love of their being is recognized, the negative, frightening, and darker side of spiritual existence will evaporate and those persons are then lifted by their Spirit Guides into the higher frequency of proverbial Paradise.

The state of a person’s consciousness or the purity of their aura will determine their initial experience when crossing over. Some will experience Jesus, or Buddha, or the Virgin Mary: some will see Joseph Smith, Apollo, Shiva, or any other representation of their religious/philosophical convictions when they first arrive on the Other side.

The early stages of spiritual existence are keyed to what we believe to be true. And no matter what people believe to be real; whether they see a red devil with a pitchfork, Biblical scenes, Muslim virgins, or a foggy “nothing,” every person that crosses over to the Other Side will share the common reality of a Life Review.

In the Life Review, one experiences–first person–the emotions, effects, and experiences that their actions caused other people to feel and experience during their physical life. Based on the intentions and actions of their lifetime, this can either be a hellish or illuminating experience.

Most people experience a mixture of happiness and pain, as average people are neither “saints” nor “sinners,” exclusively.Heaven is the Other Side. Everyone goes there on physical death. This is the place where the truth about one’s self becomes glaringly evident and for those who suffer from darkened consciousness, it can seem like less than Heaven until their awareness shifts into a realization of love: self-love and love for others.

In the state of unconditional Divine Love, we are destined to know great peace, joy, and overflowing love while we are prepared to undertake yet another life, wherein our spiritual quest for full Spiritual Awakening and enlightenment will continue.
