The Paranormal Dangers Of Divination Tools
The first thing one must learn when you have psychic abilities is protection from energy. Whether that energy be residual from spirit, or from human behavior. Spirit energy can be draining, they see humans as batteries. Not all of spirit comes to you just to visit… it is not always a loved one. And, very dangerously, there are also people that work in the psychic field who do not have good intentions.
Psychics who believe that there is no such thing as dark energy and that they do not need any protection, are operating under a false and very dangerous belief. If you have been practicing as a psychic or healer and you have not yet run across any dark energy, consider yourself unusually lucky. No matter how many years you have been in the field, chances are that you will encounter negative energy or a psychic attack at some point.
Recently, a local esoteric shop in my area was advertising a Contact the Spirits event. They had a guest presenter with an electronic Ouija board that talks! With this machine you can actually hear the words spirit is telling you. In online advertisement for the event it was claimed that a dark energy cannot come through, and that audience members will be perfectly safe. Well, there was trouble ahead.
The Ghost Who Warned Me
I moved into my first haunted house in 2005. I have communicated with beings from the other side since I was a child, but actually moving into a home where there was a spirit attachment, was a very different experience for me. I have also been in haunted houses before, but this time I was not able to just browse and leave – I was stuck in that house for a few months.
I was moving in with a family member, whom I knew had a lot of emotional issues, but who was also very sweet and wanting guidance and help from me. He was very attached to the house we were looking at renting. I told him right off the bat, “It’s haunted. Are you sure you want to move into a haunted house?” He asked me how I knew it was haunted, even though he knows I am psychic medium. I told him I could sense the presence. It wasn’t dark. It was male and it was associated directly with the house.
Despite all this, we moved in.
The night we moved in, I felt a presence hovering over me when I was sleeping… or should I say trying to sleep. The ghost said telepathically, “You brought darkness into my house. You need to get rid of it, or leave. I will help you get rid of it.” I was quite confused. I responded, “I am a light being. I’ve never caused harm to anyone. Why do you think I brought darkness here?” I did not get an answer.
Ghosts Are Real
Are ghosts real? I certainly know that they are, because I have come face-to-face with them during paranormal investigations. Many paranormal experts claim there is scientific evidence that they are real. Believers say that skeptics are not listening to what is in front of them, but skeptics say that any paranormal evidence likely has a rational explanation and that those who are chasing ghosts are fooling themselves. All I know I is this: I have seen ghosts right in front of me… standing there, looking right at me.
I have been to many haunted sites and sometimes ghosts can be downright nasty, not to be confused with spirits. Ghosts do not know that they are dead, and they can become very annoyed when you are in a house that they dwell in. In these cases you are the intruder. I have had objects thrown at me, heard voices telling me to get out. I always smudge myself with sage. I use it before and after an investigation so that nothing attaches to me.
Spirit Orbs Among Us
Orbs are among us. These balls of light sometimes show up in photographs and are believed to be ghostly entities, as they typically show up in cemeteries and haunted buildings. However, it has been my experience that an orb can show up anywhere, anytime…even in places one would never expect to see one.
I have been seeing orbs all my life, as far back as I can remember. Seeing orbs always gives me a feeling of loving spirit around me. It is my belief that spirit orbs are pure energy and love. They are consciousness.
Some orbs that appear in a photograph may be a speck of dust or insect. But not the ones I see. In fact, when some of those ‘speck of dust’ photos are enlarged, you can sometimes recognize a face in it. So, you may want to take another look at some of those orb photos.
Orbs often just float right by, suspended in the air. They may stop and be stationary for a few seconds, and then speed right away. Orbs come in all shapes and sizes in an array of colors. Just like people they are all unique. And what one person can see, another may not see.
The Importance Of Setting Boundaries
I think my life-long lesson is boundaries and setting them. When I first started my journey in recovery, I had no clue what boundaries were. I think I am still learning them as I encounter situations, both spiritual and otherwise.
What is a boundary? A boundary is a self-imposed limit on behaviors determining how you are to be treated, what type of behavior you will or will not tolerate, and how you will react when you feel those boundaries have been violated.
One example of a personal boundary is someone yelling at you. You tell the person yelling at you, not to yell at you, otherwise you will walk up and leave the room. Then you get up and walk away from the situation if their behavior persists.
Another example is inappropriate tardiness. An individual tells you they will be at a place at a certain time. You are there on time, but the other person is not. You wait and wait. Then after several minutes, you leave. If the person shows up late without letting you know, they are out of luck. The person shows you who they are when they do not show up on time. Your time is precious and it shows a level of disrespect.
The History Of The Ouija Board
In my opinion the Ouija board is actually not a modern invention. The original concept of the board probably dates back to ancient Babylonian and Egyptian times. I imagine those who were familiar with the mysteries, made their own boards using clay tablets and a pendulum to collect information on just about any subject.
The Ouija board we know today was introduced in the late 1840s when Spiritualism became popular among occultists and secret societies. It was initially more complex, because their methods would involve knocking on the floor in response to letters being called out from the alphabet. Or they would use an intricate device that would have a pencil attached to it, allowing the spirits to guide the inquirer to the letters or numbers on the board.
In 1890, Charles Kennard and some of his colleagues, had the idea to turn this divination tool into a toy. They came up with the name Ouija, because it means “good luck” in Kemetic, the oldest known Egyptian language.
Basic Psychic Protection
Do you often feel drained and overly tired, edgy, out of sorts, depressed, oppressed? Do you feel that there may be entities around you that wish to harm you? To wait until you need psychic protection is often when it is already too late. Prevention is better than cure. The following are some of the basic ways I protect myself before doing psychic readings.
I first clear my mind. I take deep, long breaths, exhaling any tension or negative thoughts or energies. Then, with my eyes still closed, I envision a beam of pure white Divine light, coming from Heaven through the top of my head. I visualize it flowing through my entire body and down into the ground, re-grounding me to the earth.
Next I envision myself surrounded by a bubble of pure white Divine light of protection. I say a prayer of protection at this time.
