The language of dreams.

This language is unique to the subconscious mind during sleep each night. Dreams express our feelings and emotions through pictures, symbols, expressions, slang, metaphors, etc. Some people say they never dream, but in fact everyone dreams, whether they are remembered or not. All information from our waking experiences is stored in the subconscious mind and used to relay our problems, conflicts, desires, and any other situation that needs to be dealt with, resolved, or at the very least filed away for later perusal. Just as life presents us with situations that we must deal with, dreams also present us with situations that we must face in one way or another. They can be forgotten or even ignored, but the fact of the matter is they have a nagging way of getting to the heart of things whether we want to face them or not. Recurring dreams and recurring themes is the subconscious mind’s way of signalling to us that something needs our attention.
For the most part, dreams are played out in a picture language that is capable of condensing a vast amount of information into a single picture or even a short “movie” that gets dramatized for us during sleep. These complex images can sometimes make perfect sense inside the dream, but once we awaken the information quickly gets jumbled, and we end up not giving it too much thought and they are quickly forgotten. However, you can learn how to pay attention and most importantly, learn how to interpret them. Keeping a dream journal and learning dream interpretation techniques will start you on your way to discovering the importance and meanings of your nightly excursions.
Most dreams are packed with significant meaning and are certainly worth the effort of figuring out what they are. Some are unimportant, but that is up to the individual to decide. In the paranormal realm, dreams fall into categories of ESP, psychic, precognitive, conscious, spiritual, lucid dreams. Popular dreams that fall under these categories are visits from the deceased, and those that are problem-solving.
Not paying attention to your dreams is equivalent to going to the movies and not paying attention to the screen in front of you. This means that you miss out on an opportunity to learn something new. However boring or strange it may seem, every dream can be an opportunity for learning if you pay enough attention to its message. It is also noteworthy to remember that if you miss the opportunity to get to know yourself better, it won’t come around again in a hurry.

Sub concious v Concious mind.

Are you aware that your subconscious mind can endeavour to control you instead of your rational conscious mind?

When I was in high school we had physical education and it was common for us to play competitive sports. This meant choosing up teams when playing netball. The way the choosing was done is the gym teacher would pick to team captains, generally the best players, and they would take turns picking players for their teams. Of course they would pick the best players first so the picking of teams was a way of rating the students according to ability. If a girl was athletic she would be picked early and if she was perceived by her peers not to be athletic she would be picked last.

I was always last and would have to endure the embarrassment of hearing the Captain say "OK, we’ll take Margaret." When I filtered this through my unconscious mind it came out as "Our team’s so good that we can win even if we have the handicap of having a loser such as Margaret on our side." My unconscious brain interpreted this to mean that I was a loser. I was not wanted or needed on the team and it was an easy jump from that to assume that this was true about me as a person and should be applied to other parts of my life.

I spent most of my youth with a low self esteem in regard to my interacting with other people, and sport. I was not great at any sport. Was this the truth? It was the truth as my brain saw it and because I imagined it was the truth it became true for me. Later on in life I had experiences that taught me that in fact I was pretty good at other sports such as jumping hurdles for a charity sports day and I was especially good at the long jump.

So did I suddenly become good at this? No. The thing that changed was my perception of myself. As long as I carried the belief that I was not good at sport it was a self fulfilling prophecy. Once I change that belief about myself the new belief manifested itself in what I was able to do. The subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between real and imagined experiences. If my subconscious mind thinks I am a loser because I was picked last for the netball team that is real for me, even if it is not the truth. The truth is that my other ability hadn’t manifested yet. That did not make me worthless or a loser.

In conclusion we create our own reality by effectively using our imaginations. If we don’t like the way we are relating to the world, we have the power to change it. We can’t change it by changing other people’s views, because the way that we perceive the world is not their fault. We begin the change by imagining the world the way we want to see it. We can reprogram our subconscious mind with positive affirmations and visualizations. We are incredibly powerful, but only if we recognize and choose to use that power. If we do, there are no limits to what we can achieve.

Mandala's

Today I want to chat about Mandalas. What are they and what do they do?

Firstly let me explain the word Mandala. It is an Indian Sanskrit word that means "circle". But it is far more than a simple shape. It represents wholeness, a cosmic diagram that reminds us of our relation to the infinite, the world that extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds. When working with it on a spiritual level, Mandala’s may be used for establishing a sacred space, as an aid for meditation and trance. It can help you to access progressively deeper levels of the unconscious mind. Carl Jung saw the Mandala as a representation of the unconscious self. He believed his paintings of them enabled him to identify emotional disorders and work towards wholeness. If you really think about it, the Mandala appears in all aspects of life. The celestial circles - earth, sun, and moon. They are healing mediums for the soul - the merging of body, spirit and soul.

In my Psychic Development circle last week we each studied a Mandala for about 5 minutes. I do not recommend that you do this for any longer in the beginning. I discovered that each person experienced a different thing. Mine began to spin. The outer purple rim became blurred and the inner circles more heightened. When doing this I believe you are in a semi trance state of mind. If you relaxed further, the mandala will begin to work on your energy centre's. Energising your chackra's. Calming your mind.

The Mandala can de stress you, enable you to go deeper into a trance state if you are sitting for trance or a trance medium. Here is a link for a free Mandala download. The site is safe. I have just downloaded a few for my Friday development circles. See which one calls to you, colour it in and please do come back here with a picture of it for us to see. Or just share your experience with it.

Do you use a Mandala. Please share your experience with it?

A spirit guides message about losing someone.

The Dearly Departed

"The loss of a loved one leaves many in physical isolated and alone. Depression may result from these feelings, which can broaden the perceived emptiness. It is important to maintain the knowledge that there is continuance. Your loved ones do indeed know that you grieve. It can be difficult for them because they still have complete awareness of you while those left in physical feel the door has been closed forever.

Know that the entrance to the spirit world is effortless once the body is discarded. A great feeling of emancipation accompanies many crossings from a body that is no longer functional + confining. Every experience is unique unto that particular energy, so there is no standard to the definition.

'Does he/she know that I miss him/her?' Yes and the intention of his/her thoughts are always to send you a message. Often he/she feels successful but there are moments when he/she senses that the opportunity was not embraced and the moment missed.

We suggest that if you have lost a loved one that you still your grief as much as possible. The moment of connection is often brief since the loved can no longer manipulate physical environments the way they did before. The ascent into spirit heightens the senses of the departed encouraging them to seek out opportunities of connection. It may take linear time for them to figure out how their new spirit 'reality' works.

Be patient.

Be still.

Pay attention to the small moments. They are often filled with messages from the departed that are more subtle than one would expect. In the beginning it may be more difficult for them because they are in the process of remembering what it means to be nonphysical. It is a more fluid environment and communication skills may be altered from what they previously knew.

The first moments might be a mere whisper in the wind that will crescendo into a cascade of communication.

Be patient.

Pay attention.


The dearly departed are whispering. They are still dear and close to you. It's just that they are now of spirit.

Pay attention.

Set aside your grief and know they are still there. Feel their love + their messages.

Look around for they are indeed everywhere."

You and the spirit world.

A few people have come to me the past few weeks scared and confused because they can see, hear, feel a spirit person around them. First of all, congratulations. Why do I say that? Because you can do something that takes some people years of training to do. You have a wonderful gift. You can communicate with the other side of life. So how does this work? Firstly. Spirit people do not see you as a person. They see you as light, because we are all made up from vibrational energy. Your light shines the brightest when you are asleep and the spirit people are drawn to it like moths to a flame. The Alpha state of consciousness is when you are in between sleep and wakefulness. This is the time when the spirit world and physical world can connect. Spiritual dreams happen, we speak to our loved ones and of course, we get visitations.
How to stop this? As I find it amazing, I don’t know why you want to. But rationally I understand that it can be a frightening experience to those who have no understanding of the spirit world. I find a smokey quartz, cleansed and placed beside the bed mostly stops spirit visitations. Time has no meaning in spirit, so when they come and poke you hello, it can be four in the morning to you and very unpleasant. Smokey quartz grounds your energy and stops you floating off to connect with spirit in your sleep.
Understanding the spirit world will make it less frightening for you. So read all you can about it. A famous quote is “There is nothing to be scared of except fear itself.” A very true fact.

A baby castle

I thought I'd post this because I love it.


In a baby castle
Just beyond my eye
My baby plays with angel toys
That money just can’t buy
Who am I to wish her back into this world of strife?
No, play on my darling, you have eternal life.
At night when I am resting, yet sleep forsakes my eyes
I hear her heavenly footstep come running to my side
Her little hands caress me so gentle and so sweet
I breathe a sigh and say a prayer and embrace her in my sleep.
For I have a blessing
That I can rate above all other
I have found true glory
I am still her mother.

Ghosts and Spirits

Many people ask me what's the difference between ghosts and spirits. The simple answer is ghosts haunt, spirits help. Ghosts manifest from residual energy. You can't interact with them because it will be like trying to speak to an actor in a movie your watching. Its like an etheric play. An event in a persons life that's so traumatic they leave behind a blueprint of it that, which replays over again. This is why people say they see ghosts every night walking through a castle. 'The ghost stared straight ahead, didn't even look at me' that's what I usually hear. That's because they can't see/hear/feel you. Your not part of their event.
Spirits are people who have gone to the other side of life. BUT, I must stress, just because they have crossed over, it doesn't make them super hero's. Their personality doesn't change just because they've died. If they helped you in life with good advice, they will still do that spirit side. If they always steered you wrong, they will continue to do that from the other side. In my experience, spirit people come back with messages for their loved ones because they might be able to help, give comfort, release that person form their debilitating grief, Tell them 'I'm all right'. So many people ask me, is my mum, dad, etc all right? Of course they are. Once a person leaves the confines of physical life, they leave behind illness, disfigurement, or impairment in any way. It reminds me of a story Colin Fry once told. He had a son from spirit who came to speak to his mother and father. Whilst they understood the message, they didn't recognise the handsome, upright man. Colin said to the spirit man they don't know you. The man said they will know me like this. His image changed to that of a man with severe Downs syndrome. The parents then cried. They suddenly realised their son was was more than all right. His spirit was whole again.

When people lose a limb, many say they can still feel it. I believe this is because the spirit is still whole. What they feel is their spiritual self. People from all walks of life come to me. But they all leave with the same thought. Death is NOT the end. It's the beginning of a wondrous journey. The ones that suffer the most are those people left behind. In my 25 years experience, spirit people come back to try and ease that pain. To give evidence they are still around you.

So remember. Hold your loved ones close to your heart. Tell them you love them everyday. Don't wait untill it's too late and you have to come to someone like me to relay the message for you.
