In my practice I'm asked many questions about spirit, healing, angels, energy, auras, etc. I have included a few of the more common ones. As visitors to this site email their questions to me I will ensure they are included on this page for general information.
The spiritual journey is one fraught with uncertainty and questioning. It is never straight forward, which is why it is so interesting and challenging. The information I provide here is general and is intended as a guide only. I always say that we each have all the answers within us. These answers can be found through a commitment to inner work and learning to trust what we find.
There are many like myself who are teachers. We are merely here to guide and assist. My experiences and my truth are mine and I have searched deeply within to come to some understanding of the Universe and my soul purpose in this lifetime. It is different for each of us, yet in many ways it is similar. I ask that you take from this section what feels right for you. If something feels unusual or does not quite fit in with your perceptions then I ask that it challenge your views and encourages you to explore further.
Are Angels Real?
Most young children have an affinity with angels. In my childhood I was hugely fascinated by angels and spent hours reading about them and drawing pictures of angels in all shapes and sizes. As an adult I've rediscovered that fascination. To me they are very real. I cannot see them but often know when they are near. In recent times there seems to be a re-emerging acceptance of their presence. We've all heard of the term 'Guardian Angel', which refers to the invisible guide who is beside us, warns us of impending danger and protects us from unsafe situations. I like to think of all angels as being our guardians.
I have heard there is a school of thought in one of the eastern religious philosophies that believe there are twenty-six realms in spirit world. One of those realms is the Angelic Realm. I do not know how many realms there are in existence but I've definitely had a lot of interaction with the Angelic Realm. My guides have come from there and I have communicated with them regularly. How do I know they come from there? I asked them and they have given me this answer many times.
It is not easy for me to 'see' angels but I know when they are near. Often I see a flickering of gold all around me and then I feel their presence. When I am talking to other people I generally know when they too have an angel around them. It is comforting to have them with us. Often I feel their love and compassion extending out to all us mere mortals!
What
Are Guides And Do We All Have One?
Guides
are spirits who have chosen to be with us while we learn specific
lessons in this lifetime. The guides may be relatives who have passed
over, they may be from a previous incarnation we have experienced or may
be spirit who we have agreed should be with us for part of our physical
life. This agreement takes place prior to our incarnating again.
Prior to coming into this lifetime we have chosen to learn specific lessons or have certain experiences that will enable us to grow spiritually. Our guides do not tell us what to do, they do not tell us we are wrong nor do they judge us. They are merely there to provide support and guidance. This is always done with love. At all times they are encouraging of our endeavors and they do this in various ways. Spirit often whispers in our ears, though we don't always hear them. Little indicators or signs are also put in our path, which if we heed them will assist us on our life journey. I like to remind people that there is no such thing as coincidence. If something crops up unexpectedly and seems like an omen then take it as one for it's meant to be.
We all have guides. The more we learn to work with them the more likely we are to come to know them well. Guides, like human beings, have distinct personalities. Some have a wonderful sense of humor, some are teachers of specific subjects, some are there merely to observe and push us to achieve our greatness while others may be more studious in their manner. In my journey I've had numerous guides. Often there is more than one guide and when they have taught all they are meant to then new guides will come in. This means that there are more and often new lessons to be learned. It is definitely a never-ending journey but it has enormous rewards.
How Can I Communicate With My Guides?
This
is a question I'm often asked, and it's not one I find easy to answer in
a few words. I guess the best way is to describe how I learnt to
communicate with my guides. My first real experience was in 1997 when a
friend was drawing my guide. Her reaction, upon tuning in clairvoyantly,
was to say 'I'm not painting a whole tribe'. It turned out that my guide
was actually a tribe of Native American Indians. So she painted one
female for me and was given the female's name.
From there on I found myself searching for signs of the tribe's presence, and this was given readily. Often I sensed a presence around me and this was in the form of a tingling sensation along one side of the body. I also began to look for signs that would indicate spirit was sending me a message. However, it was not until the following year that I began seriously attempting to communicate with them and this I did during daily meditation. I would ask spirit to show itself to me. I asked other questions and waited expectantly for an answer and much to my frustration would hear none. This continued for some time until I slowly began to get a sense of a response, and it came in the form of a very softly spoken word or two. My meditation helped enormously as I am able to still my mind and listen to the silence, this makes it easier to hear spirit.
As with all things, it's the constant practice that makes a difference to the end result. Nowadays I communicate telepathically with spirit on a range of subjects. I immediately sense spirit's presence, it's as though each spirit has distinct energy signature and I certainly feel different energies for different guides.
Some people do not hear spirit, instead they get a knowing about something and this may take the form of a tingling sensation along the body. For me this all over-all tingling sensation is confirmation of a thought or event.
It took a lot of practice and testing for me to be convinced of the accuracy of what I heard and sensed from my guides. I now trust the information I receive from them, but this trust has evolved over a period of time.
It is important to check the source of the information given. I always challenge spirit by asking, "Are you of the Light?" This question is important. Any spirit not working with the Light cannot answer “Yes”. Spirit working with the Light always works for your highest good.
There is a great deal more detail I could go into but I feel I have provided some of the basics about guides. If you wish to know more, or have specific questions, please email me and I will gladly respond.
What
Is Energy Vibration?
Everyone
has an energy field that is part of their body. Some call this an aura.
This energy field vibrates at different levels, depending on the degree
of spiritual awareness an individual has. As unawakened souls we tend to
have a low vibration, which means that there is a lot of denseness
within and around us. As we become more spiritual this energy field
increases in intensity. It vibrates faster and so our vibration becomes
lighter and is of a higher frequency.
Another word for this energy field is Light. The more spiritually aware we are the stronger our Light becomes. Those who are strongly spiritual are often referred to as being Enlightened. This merely means they have an energy field (light) of high intensity and frequency. In my communication with spirit I have been told that the amount of Light the body can hold is infinite.
How Can I Raise My Energy Vibration?
This takes time and work. There is no easy or quick way to do this. Generally the process begins when an individual experiences a strong desire to do something new and unusual. It may involve asking such questions as "Who am I?" "What is my purpose?" "Is my life fulfilling?" and so on. This is the beginning of an inner journey, which involves a lot of soul searching. In seeking answers to these and other relevant questions most people come to a realization they have a lot of unresolved emotional issues that need working through.
Releasing unresolved emotional issues is usually a painful process, but is essential. It enables the denseness to be dispersed and in the process allows the energy field to be lightened. A supportive healer, who is able to release blockages and balance the energy chakras, can assist the process.
Another way of increasing the vibrational levels is by undertaking regular meditation. I admit that meditation is something that takes practice, time and commitment. The results though are worthwhile. Meditation can be useful in providing insights into one's life and issues. I have found this to be a useful tool for communicating with spirit guides.
As we struggle to come to an understanding of our life's purpose spirit is always nearby, providing support and encouragement. When we are earnest in our endeavors then spirit happily rewards our efforts. Many times I have felt enormous energy rushes through my body when I've been meditating. When this happens I have been told that it's an increase in energy vibrational level.
Generally I suggest that people wishing to increase their vibrational level need to be committed to making change in their lives. Doing the inner work is critical to success. I also recommend meditation classes and consulting a skilled healer.
