Astral Encounters With The People You Love
When I do love and relationship readings, I can usually get a clear sense if someone my client feels deeply connected to has also been thinking about them. However, this “thinking” doesn’t always happen during waking hours! Sometimes their love interest “dials in” to connect with them in the dream state through astral communication.
When we sleep, our physical body and mind are at rest, allowing our soul to connect with the spirit realm. During the dream state, our soul temporarily leaves our physical body and travels to the astral plane.
The astral plane is a metaphysical dimension or plane of existence that transcends physical reality, where souls, spirit entities, and the divine can interact in a heightened state of consciousness. Here we can also meet and communicate with other souls, both living and deceased.
Dreaming allows us to transcend physical limitations to access spiritual guidance, clarity, comfort, healing, and even prophetic glimpses of the future. But our dreams not only allow us to connect with spirit, they also have immense power to create and deepen everyday connections with other people who are still alive. This includes friends, family, colleagues, and especially romantic partners.
While many people have had at least one vivid dream involving a deceased loved one, spirit being, or divine presence, very few realize that the astral plane is also a meeting place for love and romance. If daily life somehow prevents us from connecting with that special someone, our soul can still meet with them in the astral realm, while we sleep. Continue reading
Inner Journey To The Mystical Isle Of Avalon
Sometimes when the pressures and demands of modern life become too much, I retreat to one of my favorite places in the universe: the mythical island of Avalon.
This legendary island of Celtic mythology is steeped in legends of healing, psychic learning, sacred crafting, and the life and times of King Arthur. Its name translates as “Isle of Apples,” emphasizing its association with fertility, abundance, and otherworldly beauty.
In folklore, Avalon, or Insula Avallonis, was a sanctuary of deep spiritual and psychic knowledge and was known as a training ground for pagan priestesses dedicated to the Great Mother Goddess. These women dedicated their lives to spirituality, honing their skills in clairvoyance, herbalism, weaving, and deep devotion to the Divine Feminine.
But Avalon was not only a sanctuary for women. Men were also an integral part of its story. Merlin the magician is inextricably linked to the history of the island, having trained the young Arthur there for his kingship.
Avalon is also entwined with many other tales woven through the lives of King Arthur, Guinevere, Morgan le Fay, Merlin, Nimue (the Lady of the Lake), and others. Legend also has it that King Arthur was brought to Avalon by his half-sister, Morgan le Fay, to heal after being badly wounded in battle.
The question of whether Avalon really existed straddles the line between myth and reality. Some historians and researchers speculate that Avalon may be based on a real place. Glastonbury, England, is often associated with Avalon because of its mystical aura and ties to Arthurian legend.
Master Your Dream Experiences With Lucid Dreaming
Sometimes we experience dreams so graphically that they blur the line between fantasy and reality. We’ve all had those amazingly vivid dreams of winning the lottery, flying over a city, or meeting a beloved celebrity, only to wake up and wonder for a moment, “Did it really happen?
These dreams leave us longing to relive them, to feel the thrill of those amazing moments again. The good news is, it is possible! We can control our dreams, shape the narrative, and bend reality as we sleep through lucid dreaming-a practice that allows you to shape and control your dreams.
By practicing lucid dreaming, you unlock and enjoy a whole new dimension of your subconscious mind and the astral realm.
Lucid dreaming occurs when you become consciously aware that you’re dreaming while still in the dream. This awareness opens up a potential playground where the usual laws of physics are suspended, allowing you to create, manipulate, and explore any dream scenario you desire. Unlike typical dreams, where events unfold outside of your control, lucid dreaming puts the dreamer in the driver’s seat.
Lucid dreaming techniques tap into your brain’s natural creative processes, allowing you to influence the storyline, environment, and even the people in your dream world. Scientific studies have shown that lucid dreaming is a real phenomenon and not just an abstract concept or superstition. Research has also demonstrated that lucid dreaming can be cultivated through various techniques, and it has been studied extensively in the fields of psychology and neuroscience.
Why You Should Be Dream Journaling
When my grandfather was alive, we had many deep conversations about spirituality and the afterlife. During a few of those conversations, he also promised me that if there was a way for him to contact me from the other side after he passed away, he would do so.
True to his word, he kept his promise. Our connection has remained strong ever since, and he continues to guide me from the other side.
It’s been well over two decades since his death, but I still have visitation dreams and mediumistic experiences in which he communicates with me. I feel incredibly blessed for these encounters, and they have confirmed much of what I’ve always believed about the afterlife and the spirit realm.
Grandpa was one of the few people with whom I could openly discuss my psychic abilities, mediumship, and paranormal experiences growing up. He was incredibly open-minded and spiritually aware for a man of his generation and background.
Not only was he a firm believer in the existence of the soul beyond this life, but he was curious about all things mystical and supernatural. I vividly remember him telling me about an out-of-body experience he had, describing how he had seen his own body from above as he “floated”.
One of the most valuable lessons my grandfather taught me was the spiritual significance of our dreams. He grew up at a time when dreams were losing their mystical significance in society as scientists began to increasingly view the dream state purely through a psychological, biological, and neurological lens.
The Karmic Lessons Of Our Past Lives
Each lifetime offers us karmic lessons inherited from our past lives, often presenting what we perceive as hardship or misfortune, but are actually opportunities for soul growth.
These soul lessons are “karmic” because they were created or caused by our free will choices, decisions and actions in previous lives. They resurface in our current lifetime to be resolved, redeemed, released, and healed.
In ancient Sanskrit, karma (कर्म) literally means “action” or “deed.” It is derived from the root word kri, which means “to do” or “to act.”
According to many spiritual and philosophical tradition the essence of karma is that every action (physical, verbal, mental, spiritual) has consequences that reverberate through time and space and affect our present and future circumstances. Our actions in every lifetime create karmic ripples that influence the fabric of our existence, shaping our future life experiences and soul growth journey.
Karmic imprints are the energetic residues of our past actions, thoughts, and emotions that carry over from previous lives into our present existence. These imprints often manifest as recurring patterns, challenges, or opportunities in our current lifetime. The core principle is that our actions, thoughts, and emotions create a cause-and-effect relationship that extends beyond a single lifetime. Positive actions result in positive consequences, while negative actions result in negative consequences.
Karmic imprints are stored in the etheric energy field known as the Akashic Records, or Universal Consciousness, that records all human experience. When a soul reincarnates, it brings these imprints with it, influencing its experiences and choices in the current life.
Why You Should Keep A Dream Journal
Keeping a dream journal is incredibly valuable in a spiritually conscious lifestyle. While some view dreams as mere reflections of daily experiences or fleeting mental wanderings, those of us in the know realize that they are so much more than that.
From my professional perspective, dreams serve as a bridge between the material world and the spiritual realm. They offer a unique opportunity to connect with deeper truths and divine light, helping to keep our souls in alignment.
By documenting our dreams, we create a personal record of these valuable encounters, enabling us to discern patterns, messages, and insights that might otherwise go unnoticed.
I cannot imagine how challenging it would be if we had to go without dreaming for an extended period of time. In my experience, it is a vital part of our spiritual well-being and life journey, and experts believe it is also crucial to our mental and physical well-being.
The absence of dreams can lead to a disconnection from our inner self and spiritual guidance, often manifesting as stress, depression, and deteriorating health.
Additionally, many people struggle to remember their dreams or mistakenly believe they never dream at all, missing out on the rich, transformative experiences that dreams offer.
The astral and etheric realm is where we interact with both deceased and living loved ones. In dreams, we also explore these higher realms that are inaccessible during our waking hours. The silver cord that connects our souls to our bodies ensures our safe return each morning—or whenever we wake up. This cord is infinite, stretching as far as we wish to travel, symbolizing our boundless potential to explore and grow through the dream state.
Receiving Angel Guidance In Your Dreams
I was nine years old when I met three beautiful angels in a rather unlikely setting. My parents were visiting some friends one Saturday night, and when it was time for me to go to bed, they put me upstairs in the master bedroom.
The grown-ups were enjoying themselves and making a lot of noise downstairs, so I was lying on the bed, wide awake, staring up at the ceiling.
Suddenly, like a sliding door, the ceiling opened to reveal three magnificent beings against the backdrop of the night sky. They were angels.
In later years I researched books and pictures of these beautiful beings and to my amazement some artists had captured them exactly as I had seen them in my vision that night. Their message came to me telepathically, clear and comforting: “We will always be with you.
The vivid memory of that night stayed with me and shaped my understanding of the spiritual realm. As I began to work with people all over the world, I soon realised that many people are either too afraid to open up to angelic guidance, or simply do not know where to begin the communication process. If this resonates with you, know that angels do come to us in dreams and visions, offering their guidance, protection and support.
The Bible, for example, contains numerous accounts of dreams and visions involving angels, such as Jacob’s ladder (Genesis 28); Joseph’s dreams (Genesis 37); Daniel’s visions (Daniel 7); and John’s revelation (Revelation 1-22).
