My interpretation of the purpose in understanding and accepting life after death.
Ever since I was a child I always ‘felt’ something one was standing just behind me, or just on the border of my peripheral vision. It terrified me. As I matured the feelings seemed to go away and it wasn’t until my children were grown up that the ‘feelings’ returned.
If you had asked me what these feelings were, I couldn’t have put it into adequate words. It was as though someone was standing so close to me I could feel their breath, sense their thoughts. The hairs on the back of my neck would rise, but when I turned no one was there.
One night I was woken by my name being called. At first I thought it was my imagination and I went back to sleep, but within minutes the voice shouted again. In my sleep fogged state I thought it could be one of the children calling me. I didn’t realise at the time that they wouldn’t be calling me ‘Margaret.’ After I had checked the bedrooms and seen the children fast asleep, I became confused. I rationalised that it could have been my husband dreaming and calling out to me.
I went back to bed satisfied with my own explanation only to we woken again by the insistent calling. After a week of sleepless nights I told my mother, who had been a spiritualist for many years, what was happening. She told me it could be the disembodied voices of spirit people calling out to me. I didn’t actually believe her. Dead people couldn’t talk, never mind call out to me.
The voices continued to call out, especially at night. It would happen anywhere. While shopping, watching the TV or just when I was writing my novels. My name would be shouted out as clear as the birds singing outside my window. But I rationalised it as my imagination. I didn’t believe there was such a thing as life after death.
Finally, the calling became so insistent that I had to confront it. So, albeit reluctantly, I went to a spiritualist church. Once there I was incredulous to discover I was sitting with a group of people who had similar experiences as me. I thought my purpose for being there was to understand what the voices were and why they were calling out to me. I think the higher purpose was for me to understand how to use the psychic gifts I already had.
The greatest way to combat fear is to confront it. I was scared to admit there could be life after death, because that would mean that ghosts did in fact exist. But there is a saying, “Knowledge is a gift to be admired.” Over the years I've gained a lot of knowledge and now I'm no longer afraid, just very intrigued.

How to see the Aura
To see the aura you have to be able to relax and concentrate, at the same time, and there is a trick to focusing the eyes in a special way.
1. You need soft light to train in, not dim, but good soft light. No harsh light shining or reflecting in your eyes! Get a book and cover it in Blue or Red paper. Stand it upright on a table several feet from you. Experiment with the distance until you find what is best for you. Make sure you have a plain neutral background. If the wall colour is wrong, hang a sheet of neutral coloured paper or cloth as a backdrop.
Note: The auras of the colours Blue and Red are the brightest and easiest to see. Blue has a Yellow aura and Red has a Green aura. The brightness and tone of the aura varies with the shade and tone of the colour used, so use bright primary colours.
2. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and relax. When you are calm, look at the book. Focus your eyes on nothing, a little to the side and past it. Gently hold and get used to that focus but don't strain your eyes or tense your eyes or forehead. Concentrate! you need a gentle, steady un-focus, similar to day-dreaming.
Note: When you need to blink, do so, or it will cause your eyes to tense and water. Blink normally and quickly without changing focus, and do not become preoccupied with it. It may cause the aura to disappear for a second, but it will reappear quickly if you stay relaxed and hold your focus.
After a while you will see a pale narrow aura coming from the book. Hold the focus, don't look AT it, soon a bright Yellow or Green aura will start building up from the object. Don't change focus or look directly at it or the aura will disappear.
There is a reason for this strange un-focus. Your outer field of vision is many times more sensitive than the focused area is. Have you ever seen a movement, out of the corner of your eye, only to turn and see nothing there? What you may have seen is an aura building up from something and your outer field of vision has detected it.
3. Once you have completed the first step, gather several books and cover them, each with a different coloured paper. Study these one at a time and write down the auric colour for it. Next try using two at a time, and watch how the auric colours affect each other.
4. Get a pot plant or some flowers and study it. The aura you will see emanates from the living plant and also from the colours of the petals. The Orange hue comes from the green of the stems and leaves. You will also see a more distinct etheric and a shimmering optical effect around them. This shimmering is the energy field or living aura of the plant.
5. For the next step use an animal, dog or cat etc, if you have one. Try and observe them when they are resting.
6. Observe your own aura. This can be done both inside and outside in the sun. Hold your arm out and study it against the sky or clouds. Alternatively, lie down and look at your legs. Make sure the skin is bare when you do this, and remember, grass will give off an Orange hue.
7. When you feel proficient enough, try it with a human subject. Just remember not to try too hard. Do it exactly the same as in the original exercise with the book. Get your volunteer to remove some of their clothing and study the bare skin area against a neutral background.
On a human subject, again, the first thing you will see is the etheric aura, like pale smoke clinging to the skin. Next you will see the shimmering optical effect in the air extending from several inches to a couple of feet deep, depending on the strength of their aura. Keep trying and the aura's colour will build up, and out from, the etheric. It will first appear as a narrow band of colour next to the etheric. This will expand slowly, if you hold your focus, until it is several inches or more thick.
8. The brightness of a person's aura has a lot to do with how they feel. If they feel happy and full of life their aura is stronger, larger and brighter. Try playing their favourite music, this will help to energize their aura and make it easier to see.
9. Try it on your volunteer outside. Make sure the sun is behind you and use clouds as a backdrop.
Note: The basic auras of colours are as follows: Blue = Yellow aura, Red = Green aura, Green = Orange aura, Yellow = Pale Blue aura, Orange = Pale Green aura, Violet = Pale Gold aura, Indigo = Gold aura, Pink = Iridescent Green. These colours will vary slightly according to the shade and tone of the colours you use.
It takes practise to see the human aura, so don't be disappointed if you fail, or see very little, the first few times you try. If you managed to see the auric colours of the books, you CAN learn to see the human aura. Using this training method stimulates the forehead chakra, which is responsible for this ability. With use, it will grow in strength, and become progressively easier to do.

Crystal Energy
Many people look at crystals and see them as ‘pretty’ objects they might like as ornaments. But if you look deeper into their history they were around from the very beginning of the universe. When the ‘Big Bang’ occurred, the vibrations of the stones and crystals began.
The Big Bang theory explains what happened at the very beginning of the universe. Prior to that moment, it's believed there was nothing. Research shows that our universe sprang into existence around 13.7 billion years ago. After its appearance, the universe inflated and expanded. It continues to expand and cool to this day.
We are surrounded by vibrations every day; the universe almost pulsates with energy. Rocks, crystals and every living thing, has its own unique vibration. Hearing, sight and smell are all carried out on a vibration level, so it is very important that we hold our crystals in meditation and acknowledge the great wealth of power they store.
Each crystal structure has its own individual personality, or energy field. The energies of the mineral kingdom are known as ‘Universal Energies’. These energies are activated by interaction and contact from the person holding it. Good intention during the use of crystals stimulates the melding between the user and the structure. This furthers the propagation of love, light and ‘the good of all.’

ORB'S.
What are Orbs or spirit lights? They are spiritual energy - usually the first stage of manifestation. They appear to have a mind of their own and move in a deliberate manner, actually manoeuvring in a definite direction. They are quite beautiful, with harmonious hues of rainbow colours. Some, well formed orbs, will even show features within them.
Sceptics believe orbs are dust particles caught on camera or faults occurring from digital photography technology- especially when using a flash. But how can they explain away orbs seen by the naked eye? I have seen them myself. Many photos contain these phenomena. The orbs can be passed relations or loved ones who have manifested themselves in the photographs, just so you can see they are still around you.

GRIEF
So today we are discussing grief. How do we react when a loved one dies? Some people shout and scream, some cry, while others remain silent while their insides are tearing apart. But however you experience grief, it still comes down to the fact you are all suffering. There are many ‘stages’ a person goes through when they grieve.
The first is denial. Refusing to believe it’s happened, waiting for that door to open and the one you have lost walk in.
Then comes anger. The feeling of injustice that it’s happened. You blame everyone, even yourself. If only...
Then depression hits. You realise that nothing ‘s going to bring them back. The hole of despair you’re hurtling down is dark and frightening.
Then finally comes, acceptance. When you accept they have gone, love them still, but move on with your life.
To those I’ve spoken to on the other side of life. They go through more or less the same thing, except they have the opportunity to visit the living when they are healed. Some spirit people remain angry for a long time, because they feel they have died too soon. Before their time. They go through all the same stages of grief that the living do. They feel the same pain of losing their loved ones.
Others are surprised they’re free of illness or disabilities that plagued them when alive. They feel reborn, full of life and vitality. Because, no matter what the condition of the physical body, the spiritual body will always be whole. I believe that’s why some amputees can still feel their missing limbs. They are feeling their spiritual body.
Grief is a powerful emotion. It can immobilise you, crush you, turn you into someone you don’t recognise anymore. But there is always a light shining in the darkness for you. Waiting and helping you to heal your broken heart. Ask for help. The angels cry with you and feel your grief too. But they will support you when you feel your legs cannot, they will hold you in their arms, when you feel lost and alone and they will walk beside you all your life, guiding you towards your goals and aspirations.
Never think that you're alone. An angel is always by your side.

Inspirational words.
A poem from Natalie O'Neil
When you get tired and weary ~ When you feel you have nothing left to give ~ Remember the light within you ~ That gave you the gift to live ~.
Why am I here ? : A journey of learning and understanding of acceptance, love and trust. First of your own self . How can you begin to trust and love others if you do not understand it for your own self ? To face obstacles in your path , they are there for a purpose. When you have faced these and understood, only then can you truly start to help and understand others facing similar obstacles. We are all on our own unique spiritual journey. We are born into humanity for a soul purpose ~ Knowledge - so that we may grow and forever be in the light ~.
Was not sure what you wanted for your blog so I have sent this also. I hope it is ok xxx
Thank you Natalie for those wonderful inspiring words. I think the poem says so much in one short line

What I'm thankful for
Hello everyone.
I thought I'd share this with you all.
The other day I was feeling really flat when I asked God for help with getting my head straight with not only the course I'm doing but with my life in general.
A friend called later and did some healing on me over the phone. She said my head had got twisted to the side and no wonder I couldn’t see my way clearly. Anyway, a quiet balancing of my body did the trick and afterwards I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from me. I’ve noticed more and more that its people that god works through and not to be afraid to let others be there for you. It can’t always be a big angel on your shoulder(which is nice) it’s mostly earth angels that I owe gratitude to and I'm thankful for.
