This orb is quite magnificent. It was taken around the back of where I live. It is the place where the soldiers marched through on their way to the battle of hastings. There is a lot of spirit activity here. My whole group and I were amazed at this picture. Some, when blown up, appeared to be random flashes, but a lot of them are orbs and you can see which ones due to the colour spectrum inside them.
It just goes to show, you never know who is behind you!

Orbs
I thought it would be nice to post some pictures of the orbs my groups and I have encountered over the course of last year. Please feel free to send me your pictures of spiritual goings on and I will post them. The way to see if an orb is an orb and not a refraction of light, is to blow it up. Inside will be a face or loads of colour's, like a rainbow. Quite beautiful.

Spirit v Symbols

Symbolic messages.
People often say to me why do spirit send symbols instead of just saying ‘ hi, my names.......and I lived at.....I’ve come to say.........’ Well, sometimes they can communicate this way, but most of the time a spirit person has to communicate with you the best way they can. It is never an easy feat for them or the medium. Sometimes they do it by pulling up your own memories and using them. For instance, if I am speaking to a man in the armed forces, initially, I will get sent a picture of my son, who was in the army. This is known as a symbolic image. They will use the image of my own mother, to let me know they are a mother and so on and so forth.
Spirit people use whatever is stored in your head. So I always say watch every documentary you can, read every book you can lay your hands on. Even if you have little interest in the subject. I half watched a program on world war one. The next night while I was giving messages from the podium, images from that program began to flood my mind and I realised I had a spirit person from world war one with me.
There are so many symbols that spirit use. It is down to us to decipher them and it's not often easy to get it right. If you don’t understand a symbol ask spirit to send you another. Don’t waste time deliberating over them. Work with your guides and helpers, thats what they are there for. TALK to them. TELL them how you want to work. I now ask my guides not to bring in symbols. Show me pictures or images of a memory, but not darn symbols. It so hard muddling through them, when you have a sea of expectant faces waiting.
It is up to you to direct your guide as to how you want to work. If you are clairaudient and you can’t hear the spirit person speaking, ask your guide to move them closer. If you can’t see them, ask your guide to make them clearer. If you tell them what you want, they WILL make it happen.

What is kundalini energy?

I thought I would explain a bit about this type of energy within us as a student of mine inadvertantly tapped into hers when she was doing her Psychic Development modules.
Kundalini is an energy that exists in everyone's body, but it is usually in a dormant state. Consequently most people never know it is even there. But in a very few people, maybe just one in one thousand, this energy becomes awakened. This can be a happy event or it can be scary, painful and disruptive, depending on whether you aroused your kundalini on purpose or by accident.
The Sanskrit word, kundalini, means coiled, like a snake.It is an energy which is not recognized by medical science, and is often little understood even among teachers of Yoga and meditative traditions. Because of this misconception it is rarely spoken about or even used. But you will find it mentioned in the literature of Yoga and Tantra (both Buddhist and Hindu).
Some believe that the word "kundalini" is more metaphoric or legendary. But after experiencing its power, I can state it is very real. Kundalini enegy sits at the base of the spine. It can be "awakened" by intense meditation or intense breath control practices. Hatha Yoga and Tantra Yoga, in their traditional forms, are designed to arouse it so that the practitioner can use the tremendous energy released to increase the potency of his or her meditation and other spiritual practices. A person must undergo extensive preparations before attempting to arouse their kundalini. Otherwise it can cause more harm to the eprson than good.
The person who successfully and safely arouses their kundalini gains a great ally on their spiritual journey. That ally is an energy, a vitality, that smooth’s the path, and makes the steep slopes easier to climb. In short, Kundalini can change you quickly. It can advance your spiritual aspirations. But it is not something that should be undertaken lightly.
Our bodies hide many secrets. Some we will not discover in this lifetime. We are energy in physical form so it stands to reason somewhere in our body will be a back up generator. That being the Kundalini energy.

What are?

Questions I am always asked. What are......
RESIDUAL GHOSTs.
These ghosts go through the everyday motions and routines that they performed in life. They appear at certain times then disappear again. You cannot contact them as they are not in your vibration. Think of it was watching a movie.
POLTERGEIST.
These capricious and somewhat dramatic beings are invisible to the human eye, but like to throws things around and generally cause havoc.
SPECTRE.
Usually appear in places where tragedies or unpleasent things have taken place. They are like energy shadows that have been left behind in places that have been highly charged with negative emotions.
ORB.
Balls of spirit energy.
APPARITIONS
Can appear and disappear suddenly, move through walls, cast shadows and there reflection can be seen in a mirror.
BANSHEE.
Traditionally a female spirit who brings the omen of death to any place she wails around.
DOPPELGANGER.
A warning of a person’s fate, usually seen as a grim reflection in a window or mirror.
ANGEL
When angel enters room person gets a tingling sensation from head to toe. There is an awareness of a light in the room that increases from a single point in the room at floor level spreading out in a diffused glow what fills whole room.
ANGEL means messenger they are intermediaries between god and mortals. Communicate by fragrance. Angel colours white, blue and gold. People mostly see colours rather than an actual angel.
GUARDIAN ANGEL
Are spirit guides mediums can channel themselves into there thoughts.
HALO
People mistake this light that surrounds them for a halo. There features rarely seen because of their luminescence. Eyes seem to blaze light and fire. But give feeling of great comfort and reassurance..
RAINBOWS.
Bridge between earth and heaven
PHYSIC.
Infants are more this than adults cos speech not developed yet. Children rely on feelings and senses to relate to physical world. Plants will thrive in this environment because they can sense the gentle environment. As adults they can read inanimate objects or the energy of a person they can see auras and tell of past present and future. Cos no time in spirit world psychic can not give actual times on info they give.
WHERE DOES GOD LIVE?
Within us all he is life itself.
PHYSICAL BODY.
Within our body we have another body called astral or etheric or spirit. It’s exactly the same as our body the difference is that the spirits molecules vibrate faster and at a higher rate than physical counter part we can’t see our astral body.
DEATH.
When spirit body is released from the physical one. Which allows you then to move from point to point by thought.
MEDIUM.
Types clairvoyance, clairaudience clairsentience.
People who can tune into faster vibrations are middlemen or mediators. They have a gift that enables them to go between the spiritual and physical world.
CLAIRVOYANT.
Derived from French word means clear vision see’s objects colours symbols people and spirit scenes.
CLAIRAUDIENCE.

ECTOPLASM.
Derived from Greek work ECTO which means outside. Plasma means moulded or formed. It’s invisible yet varies in states of denseness and can appear as gaseous or liquid. Is colourless, odourless and weightless. Mostly developed in mediums mainly seen in a dark setting as is very sensitive to light. Can come out of ears mouth and nose and the solar plexus. Can be utilised by the voice box. Sometimes can take form with legs arms and torso. Denseness of materialisation depends on developed state of medium.
HEALING.
Mediums body contains healing energy from spirit.
SPIRIT.
Spirits can’t interfere with karmic progression. Guardian angels can interfere and assist us on earthy missions. Before we are born our life plan is mapped out in a type of blue print when we veer off path guide will try and steer us back.
PERSONAL GUIDES.
Are people that we have known in previous incarnations? They impress in our minds ways to involve ourselves in situations. They can be a mother or father relative or friend.. When in spirit they will review how could have helped in life. Although help guide cannot interfere with lessons to be learnt on earth. They stand by and watch what decisions we make.
MASTREY OR SPECIALISED HELPER.
Spirits drawn to us based on archives of work. IE. Writer’s musician’s artist’s teachers.
SPIRIT OR MASTER TEACHER.
These are spiritually evolved and may have never lived in physical world, spiritual teacher have a strong desire to help with spiritual progression. They impress on us any special gifts we have.
LOST SOUL OR GHOST.
A person who died quickly with its spirit literally thrown from its body. Unaware it’s dead. Believes it’s dreaming. If disturbed they can become a poltergeist, but can only have as much strength as you let them.
TO GET RID OF A TROUBLE SPIRIT.
Play Ava Maria or religious music to reach the higher spiritual vibrations. Purifie rooms by cleansing the atmosphere. Burn sage, it clears dark energy. Have lots of natural light. Ask guides to be with you to assist before you start. Meditate to reach disturbed spirit. Let it know that they have passed on. If it needs to cross over send you love and compassion. It may take days and weeks.
A soul must learn the fullness and must learn positive and negative.
When we die after doing something we are ashamed of, negative feelings stay with our consciousness for a long time. If we died with unresolved issues the spirit can’t rest until it is put right.
One question I am always asked.
IF SPIRITS SEE THINGS BEFORE IT HAPPENS WHY CAN’T THEY TELL YOU WHAT TO EXPECT.
Spiritual laws are steadfastly adhered to here as we have to make our own choices in life and cannot be influenced.
WE ARE MADE FROM LIGHT ALL ENCOMPASSING CRETIVE AND BOUNTIFUL. ALTHOUGH WE CAN’T SEE IT, BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE OF THIS LIGHT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING.

A word in your ear

Whilst I agree there are mediums out there who are not as good as others, I do think it would be better to give them your support so they can have the confidence to grow, rather than discerning faces and grumbles. In the 25 years I have been servicing churches, I’ve had people ask me to ‘get my mum, tell me where she died, how she died, so on and so forth. Mediums are not here to prove to anyone the spirit world exists, they are just spiritual telephones that relay messages from loved ones. Sometimes it’s not the medium who can’t get the link that night, it maybe the spirit person who gets confused. So if a medium stumbles, or doesn’t give a message that’s taken, isn’t it better to grateful they gave their time trying to work with spirit? Not many mediums stand on that platform and get paid. I certainly don’t. I give my time freely because of my love for spirit. I work two jobs, I get tired. Yet I service churches, teach Psychic Development from home and run circles after work. Not because I’m a saint, but because of my love of spirit.
I hear grumbles from people who say that good mediums are rare. That is not true. I know many. I am very sad when I hear people moaning that the SNU churches are a waste of time, when so many good souls give their time to help others. As for quality of evidence, why not just be happy your loved one came through? Do you need to know they died of a heart attack on June the 6th? Or the cancer all over their body gave them great pain before they passed? NO. You know that already. Why would they come to tell you what you already know? It’s hard for them to come into our vibration and their link is limited to our physical time. They want to tell you what THEY feel. Such as they love you very much and sat beside you when you were crying...that’s the comfort/healing you need. Not cold forensic evidence.
If you have ever worked on platform you would know how nervous a medium is when they stand up and look at all those expectant faces. I feel physically ill every time, because I know I have such a responsibility to those people. Whilst I am not saying some mediums don’t get a little ahead of themselves, it’s only mostly through enthusiasm and excitement that spirit is talking/working through them.
When someone says a medium is working from the ego, it is very harsh. Before you judge, widen your spiritual world. Don’t say EVERY snu church is bad, until you have visited them all. If you see a medium you think is ‘bad’ ask yourself what you can do to help them. Send out a healing thought. ‘Help this medium tonight’ make your thoughts constructive, instead of destructive. There is a very old saying. ‘Don’t judge me until you have walked in my shoes’. We mediums need your love and understanding, not derision. That doesn’t nurture the spirit in anyway.
I hope I don’t sound too harsh, that’s not my intention. BUT, you must remember that everything we say and do has consequences. In the yin and yang of things, every action has a positive and negative reaction. So I hope you will take this as a positive reaction from me.

Food for thought
In life I've learned that no matter what happens, how bad it looks today, it will be better tomorrow. You can't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands.You need to be able to throw something back sometimes. I have found over the years that that if you chase happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, and you do the very best you can, happiness will find you. I posted this story last year. I like it so much I thought it deserved a re post.
The Wooden Bowl

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson.
The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered
The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and
failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.
When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.
'We must do something about father,' said the son.
'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.'
So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.
There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.
Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.
When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone.
Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.
The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor.
He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?' Just as sweetly, the boy responded,
'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.
' The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.
That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.
For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason,
neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

Malice

In an earlier post I spoke about Malice. Do people get pay back from a higher source, for the bad things they do in life? Below is a comment from Carole Owens I thought it really hit the nail on the head. Who else thinks this way, if not, how do you feel about it?

Each of us gets to make a decision in how our lives will go. Good or bad. Every deed and word sets a chain of events in motion. Like a drop of rain in a lake the ripples reach out and affect our lives. This is your message to the world about how you live your life . Sometimes you try very hard to do the right thing in the hope that the ripples will be kind and soothing. Sometimes you hope that they may inspire or deter some one else. Be patient and you will see a result. Eventually the ripple runs out of energy and it will be someone else’s turn to energise it.
I believe that if you send out positive ripples they will be returned to you. By the same token if you make a conscious decision to act negatively, this too will come back to you in kind. Now with every one sending out ripples you are bound to run into other peoples tidal waves from time to time. That’s just life. You might think you don't deserve the good/bad luck that you receive, but I think that your own wave will eventually return. The Malicious person will eventually get theirs. Not necessarily Malice returned, maybe a kindness that changes them.
The universe knows what you really need and it will send it to you.
