Is that what I entitled this blog all those many moons ago when I set up the store?
How did I manage to come up with a title that was going to prove to be so damn accurate?
In the past few weeks I have been in touch with my spirit guides more often that at any time in my entire life. I have had more open channels of communication working effectively and much better than before with confirmations and validations flying in from all directions. I have ventured into remote viewing, astral travelling, aura cleansing, guided visualisations and distance banishing!
I have been called upon to perform more banishings, exorcisms, vanquishings or whichever word you would like to choose that I thought was possible, including those linked to possession and psychic vampirism.
Not to mention the Past Life Readings, Psychic Readings & Tarot Readings etc that I have been providing for a long time!
So I think Life in the Spiritual Fast Lane is more than appropriate for the new turn my life has taken. I’m just at a loss as to if I can write it all down without being sectioned or committed!
I dare say that many of us have been sat at home and felt that ’something’ wasn’t quite right. Had a feeling that there was something different about the place but not quite been able to pin down where that feeling was coming from. Sometimes is can drive us to distraction trying to figure out exactly what it is and what triggered the feeling, unfortunately we can’t always find the source.
I know when I walk into my home whether I have an extra ‘guest’ as it were, as I can feel the shift in the energy. The best way to describe how this feels to me, is for you to imagine walking into a room filled with electricity, almost like a static charge, as if the room contains dozens of TV screens all emitting white noise. Somehow the energy in the room feels more dense, the air seems to change and more often than not I feel the ‘pressure’ of someone near to me, a closeness that make me feel like I could reach out and touch someone stood there. But that’s just how I feel, everybody has different reactions.
So how can spirit let you know when they are around? Well, to be honest, how spirit choose to make contact can often be based upon personal references. For example, a common method used by spirit it to use a smell, this could be a hint of perfume, or a cooking aroma etc. As smell is the strongest of the senses linked to memory, a scent or aroma can transport us back to a place in time when that smell was common place, leading us to link it to the people that were around us at that time. It could be tobacco smoke linked to a grandfather, sweet perfume linked to an aunt, or face cream linked to a grandmother. The smells that are chosen generally have a specific link to a person you are connected to. I won’t say that it is always easy to make the connection, as occasionally the link can be pretty bizarre, and you may have to search way back in your memory to place the smell, but the link will be there.
Electricity is also a useful tool for spirit. Affecting lights, TVs and radios seems to be a common method of signalling their presence. I have good friends who have had music playing through their sound system when it has all been switched off, even after disconnecting the speakers! The kitchen seems to be the centre of activity in my home and amongst other (non electrical activity), I have spirit switching the kettle on in there, playing with the telephone on the bedroom, and draining batteries in mobile phones and MP3 players.
Another method of contact is through sound. Unusual bangs, knocks and clicks, that you know are not naturally occurring – the kitchen is a great resource of sound making devices. The kettle switch, dustbin lid, cupboard doors etc. Instead of disregarding the noises that your house makes, as most of us do. Listen to the sounds, try and decide where they are coming from, investigate what could have made the sound, could it be naturally occurring? If not, who made the sound?
Of course there are the tales of having objects moved around the home, but this takes a lot of energy to perform, so is perhaps not as common as we would be made to believe by television programmes. Although it is common for small items to disappear for a while, only to turn up in the strangest of places! Keys seem to be a popular choice and television remotes, things that we notice being out of place very quickly.
In reality, the most commonly reported sign that of spirit activity is temperature change. Generally referred to as ‘cold spots’ where the temperature of a specific area can be quite dramatically lower than that of the surrounding area. Warm spots also occur, though there are generally regarded as being formed by loving energies as opposed to generic spirit activity. Whether they are warm or cold, make a note of where you encounter them, how long are they there for, and whether they always appear in the same place. At the same time you notice the temperate change, keep you eyes and ears open for any other signs that you have a ‘visitor’ in you home.
Maybe you have felt connected to the Universe for as long as you can remember, and have never done anything about it. Or perhaps you have had a ‘paranormal’ experience that you can’t explain away as a trick of the light, or an overactive imagination. Either way, you have now reached a turning point in your life, where you feel the need to connect to, and get to know your spiritual side. So how do you go about it?
You could sit in front of your computer screen for hours on end, scouring internet sites for psychic development CD’s and signing up for courses that promise you that you will be able to make a fortune from your skills within the week. A nice idea, but sorry to tell you thats not the way it works.
If you truly believe that you have a gift, a sixth sense, then I believe that the best person to help you to develop it is you. You need to discover for yourself what your gift is, and the best way to achive this is to seek out your spirit guides. Now many people believe many different things about who our guides are, where they come from, and what they do. I will not stand up and say that everyone else is wrong and I am right, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, all I wish to do here, is to share my beliefs and opinions with you, and perhaps help you on your journey.
Throughout our lifetime, guides will come and go. The guides who kept us safe through childhood will step aside to let other guides take the lead to help us through our adolescence, into adulthood and beyond. How many times as a child did you hear someone call your name when no one was around, or manage to avoid trouble because you ‘had a feeling’ about a situation. As you grew older and had important decisions to make, did you ever feel guided to take a particular direction? Had a thought pop into your head seemingly out of nowhere that answered a question you were wondering about? Whether you choose to accept that this information came from a spiritual source or not, you will at least admit that some flashes of inspiration really do seem to come out of the blue, from nowhere. All of these instances are a result of your guides trying to steer you in the right direction, so that you achive what you were put here to do.
Creating a dialogue with your guides is the best first step that you can take into realising your gifts. It may take days, weeks, months or years to be able to have a ‘real’ conversation with them, but the more you try, the more you practice, and the more you meditate, the better you will become at listening to them, trusting what we call ‘intuition’ and really developing your gift.
So just what could this gift you have be? Clairvoyant, clairaudient, clairsentient, empathic? As a society we appear very eager to assign labels to people, but when you are dealing with unseen forces labelling can become difficult. For instance, I find that I cannot assign myself a label, yes, I occasionally see spirit that takes on physical form, yes, I hear spirit, sometimes in my head, sometimes so loud it makes me turn my head to see who is behind me, more often than not I ‘feel’ that spirit is around me, a shift in the air, a change of atmosphere etc. I feel when others are in pain by experiencing the same pain, I pick up on emotions and fears. So what does that make me? I dare say in times gone by I could have been tried as a witch (they would have been right!) but these days we are called ’sensitive’, which I guess is as good a label as any.
Through contact with your guides you will learn to explore your gifts, examine where your strengths lie and be able to develop at a rate that you guides feel is appropriate. Working with your guides, they will never push you beyond your limits, but will lead you step by step towards your full potential.
If you decide that you really do want to discover where your gift can take you, then you need to learn how to meditate, learn how to ground yourself to the Earth plain, and protect yourself from negativity and what have been labelled ‘psychic vampires’. This will ensure that protect your energy, stop others from draining your energy and learn to live a more balanced existance.
The fact that you have decided to explore a more spiritual path means that you will already be opening up to contact from spirit. Be aware of what happens around you, listen to your intuition, learn to trust it. Ask for guidance and protection from your guides as you walk your path. There is no ‘crash course’ in psychic development, if there were I don’t think I would have faith in it. Nor would I believe anyone who claimed to know all that there is to know, or claimed to be 100% accurate in their psychic work. Working with spirit is all about interpretation and how one person interprets a piece of information can be a world away from the way another person would see it.
Consider this an introduction to what lies ahead, you will need determination, the will to succeed and above all patience and trust in your own abilities. But if you really want to, go out any buy that expensive CD set, try is and see where it takes you. I have a store full of self help and psychic development CD’s, DVD’s and books that will help you, ‘The Covenstead‘, and they will guide you in the right direction, but they should be used as teaching aids, complimentary to your own development, use them as any student would use a reference library – to add to knowledge, not as the definitive source of all your learning.
