A Paranormal Ordeal Beyond My Experience
Almost a month ago we moved into a haunted house, but this was more than the average haunting. In fact, it became a lesson for me to follow my intuition… and never to ignore red flags!
When we first decided to move to this house, I knew right away something was off, but immediately dismissed it as ‘residual energy’ from its previous occupants. Initially, I had planned to cleanse the property, before moving into it. But life got busy and we had to move in prior to me performing the cleanse.
The very first day, in broad daylight, the first sense that something was really very wrong finally hit me. I just didn’t feel myself, and every client that called me for a reading was hesitant with me… for apparently I didn’t sound myself either.
I felt an inexplicable rage boiling inside of me, and I was having ‘conversations’ in my head. Well, more like arguments, lashing out at everyone and everything that put us in this position. I experienced anxiety and anger that was seemingly out of my control and I truly did not feel myself. It also didn’t seem like anything I would normally do to combat this kind of feeling, was working in any way, shape, nor form.
Then I heard the voice coming out of me, the attitude. Meanwhile, I was doing everything in my power to suppress it and hold myself together. I was biting words. Waves of white rage took hold of me.
My husband left the house that day, to attend a meeting. As soon as he did, I decided to run a bath, in the hope of improving my mood. But once I sat in the tub, a heavy energy filled the room. I could hear my heart beating in my ears. An unseen, dark energy attacked my senses, and my physical self, for now I was being held down in the bathtub. If a paranormal entity becomes physical with you, it definitely does not want you in it’s perceived space, at all!
Fly Me To The Moon
Despite modern day skepticism, people have reported seeing apparitions of those who have crossed over since the dawn of time. This paranormal phenomenon is definitely nothing new to my way of thinking, because I see spirit all the time. They tend to come back to let their relatives know they’re okay, and to reassure us that they are watching over us. But sometimes earthbound spirits also appear to ask for my assistance with shamanic soul rescue work.
One of my clients used to live in the busy part of Manhattan, in a very tall building where she could see other peoples balconies. When I was doing a phone psychic reading for her one day, she told me that there was a woman who kept looking over her balcony.
She could never figure out why she always kept looking down. For a while she thought she was trying to see if she had lost something that might’ve fallen from her balcony, or maybe she was looking at somebody. This had gone on for several months.
The unusual situation peaked my interest. One day, when I was consulting again with this client, there was a ‘nagging energy’ that kept coming in on my left. I decided to bring it in… and it was the woman on that balcony. Well, actually it was her spirit coming to me. The woman was no longer in this life. She had committed suicide and her spirit was still lingering on the balcony of that apartment building. Her spirit needed to be released.
The Unseen Spirit World Around Us
While traveling this summer, I stayed at in a vacation rental home on the coast of Oregon. It is an older house which has been completely gutted and redone from floor to ceiling. It has every finishing touch you could imagine and is across the street from the beach.
One day, while sitting in the master bedroom with the door partially open, I thought I saw a white, sheepdog push the door open with his nose to come in and greet me. He looked quite happy with his tail wagging. He was adorable and filled with loving energy. I blinked my eyes and looked again, but he was gone? I then realized I had just seen a dog in spirit, who used to live in that house.
Many people have this type of occurrence happen on a daily basis, but do not understand or trust what they see. Often we glimpse things out of the corner of our eye, or peripheral vision, but most of us interpret this as simply being due to our imagination. We thought we saw something, but there was nothing there when we looked again. Unfortunately, our modern culture encourages us to trust only our logical, linear mind over our intuition.
When Spirit shows up in the form of our deceased loved ones from the Other Side, and this includes our departed pets, we can become aware of them through our psychic senses. People who are more sensitive tend to be able to pick up on the subtle presence of Spirits who come to visit.
Apologies From The Other Side
Departed loved ones have come through to me many times over the years with a message of apology for how they treated me, or one of my clients. There is typically a common thread in these spirit messages: they didn’t know better at the time, but they do now, and they now see things differently. With the apology usually also comes great regret and remorse, acknowledging the pain they caused us.
For anyone who has been on the receiving end of abuse, I have come to believe that there is also a lesson in this. For me, the lesson has been learning to love myself. I was a people-pleaser for most of my life, and to some extent this is probably still the case, but there is a lesson in this too, in learning about self-love and learning to put my own needs first. My experience has been instrumental in enabling me to identify with others, and, in turn, I have become more able to help others the best I can.
I love the teachings of the spirit guide Emmanuel, as channeled by the late Pat Rhodegast. Emmanuel says, “If we were not meant to have done something, we would not have, but that it was all appropriate at the time.” I seem to recall his teachings stating that this does not mean that we should condone the harsh treatment of others.
As adults, we have more choices, but when family and loved ones treat us harshly, we often hope that things would get better, or that perhaps they were just having a bad day. I personally would do just about anything to please them, desperate to get their approval. Others often commented on and in hindsight they were right, but I would continue to hope.
Shamanic Shape Shifting Of Departed Loved Ones
Crows do not symbolize doom and gloom as portrayed in some myths and movies. They are a symbol of magic, intelligence, keen communication, and much more. They can see far into the spirit realm and bring messages for those who are open to receiving them. So, if a crow appears to you, use your intuition to truly receive the messages it brings.
Crows often carry the energy of a loved one that has passed, and honor you with the loved one’s presence and sometimes also gifts. It’s called transference. It is a sacred shift of energy. If you have a crow making herself known immediately after a beloved’s passing, rest assured it is, in fact, the presence of your lost love. Respect this transformation with gratitude.
Generally, transference occurs between physical vessels that are similar, making the transference easier for the passed loved one to make the shift. There are exceptions, however, and crow is one of the most common physical vessels used – in great part due to their innate intelligence and ability to soar between dimensions.
It’s all about love in the final analysis. Your loved one left you because there were no other options, due to circumstances of life. Although, too often, they hang on, even while suffering, waiting for a vessel to transfer into. In fact, some won’t leave, regardless, until they have the vessel they need, whether it meets their preferred specifications, or not. They prefer to see or meet the new vessel before they pass, so they know how to best make the shift.
The God Force Of The Spirit Body
The human body is made up of physical tissue, blood and organs. But what is the intangible material that actually composes our spirit body? Well, we do know that it is some form of physical matter. It appears to be a form of energy instead.
I like to believe that this spirit or soul energy is a part of God. This is why, when we are embodied in a physical form, we have the yearning to return to God who is our original Source. The more that we learn and become evolved spiritually, the more we become aware of the desire to return to our Source.
Spirit energy is the very substance that makes us conscious. When our bodies die, our consciousness lives on. I believe our spirit or soul is made up of an electrical and magnetic energy.
I have been a regular practitioner of meditation for many, many years. I once had a profound out-of-body experience which proved to be an experience of deep learning.
I come from a very psychic family. My Uncle Ralph spoke to me clairaudiently one day, while I was at work. I heard him call my name repeatedly. I instantly knew something awful must have happened. Sure enough, after work, I stopped at my mom’s home, and she was crying. “Your Uncle Ralph has died,” she exclaimed. My heart was broken and we cried together. Now, my Mom was a spiritually gifted woman. We both knew that we all go somewhere after death. But losing Uncle Ralphie still hurt.
Spirit Visitation In The Form Of Orbs
What are spirit orbs? Actually, we are all orbs at some point in time. When we are not inhabiting a human body or other bodies in other dimensions, we become light energy. That light looks like a small circular light that moves and darts around quickly.
Spirit orbs can suspend in mid-air. It can bounce. It can dart to the left or right. It can move slowly or quickly. It can do basically whatever it wants.
One night I saw three orbs moving in unison together. Every time I got up to leave, they darted together to the right. Every time I sat back down, they moved in unison back to where they were.
We can also project any visual image we want, instead of being viewed as an orb by human beings. I am blond with green eyes in this life. However, on the other side, I usually prefer to project myself as a dark-haired Native American woman of about 30 years of age. The life I lived as that woman, was one of my favorites.
When I was around five years old, I looked in the bathroom mirror. I remember being absolutely shocked to see a white girl with green eyes and freckles staring back at me! I thought I was Native American with tan skin, dark eyes and long black hair. I remember running to my mother, screaming and crying about that stranger in the mirror. My mother, a devout atheist and not at all versed or educated in subjects like the spirit afterlife and reincarnation, had no idea what I was talking about.
