What are elementals?

An elemental is considered a mythological being first appearing in the alchemical works of Paracelsus in the 16th century.

There are many types.
Gnomes, earth elementals
Undines, water elementals
Sylphs, air elementals
Salamanders, fire elementals.
Fairies
Pixies
Sprites

So let’s talk about a couple of these fascinating, so called, mythical beings. A one is most certainly real as I have seen them for myself. The others, I can’t vouch for something I haven’t seen, yet I won’t discredit their existence either.

Undines are a personification of water. They are likened to sprites, nymphs and mermaids. The term Undine comes from the Latin root ‘unda’ which means ‘wave. As water/tides are governed by the moon, so are these etheric beings. They can be traced right back to ancient Greece times. Here they are recorded as being called Oceanides. It was said that they were the daughters of Titan and his wife Tethys. I’m not so sure I can akin them to Idol gods, as they are from the spiritual veil and belong to the one consciousness of that light. But many years ago their presence in the oceans was legendary among seafarers.
Undines unite to form an impenetrable energetic bond. Hence where the term that we get energy from the water comes from. Water contains a wealth of energy that, we as humans, can’t begin to comprehend. Just as molecules bond together to form one mass - the Undines unite their energies in a grand matrix that is water. Theoretically, that would mean when we drink water, we are consuming Undines. But as we are all basically etheric beings, made from energy, the undines energy unites with ours and as we are all formed from the one consciousness, it stands to reason that combination makes us stronger.
Think about it. When we work with spirit, we drink water to cleanse away residue vibration, when we are unwell, we are told to drink plenty of fresh water. Why is spring water so good for us? Would we be more honourable in our use of water if we knew we were interacting with beings from the light? I don't know, but it's something to think about.

Fairies.
Fairies have been maligned though history as being devious, ugly, untrustworthy, the cause of changelings ~ When a fairy substitutes its child for a humans. All quite valid perceptions in the realms of fantasy, I suppose. So what are fairies exactly? I can tell you what they are not. Little ladies, dresses in tutu’s with butterfly wings, pointing magic wands at all and sundry.
Fairies are not of this dimension, they are etheric beings living in the atmosphere of our planet and solar system. They help guide nature. Evolution of plant life has to be assigned to someone to nurture it. They are also known as tree elementals.
Fairies are actually likened to angels. They cannot be seen as a being, as they are composed of etheric energy that has no definitive shape in our dimension, they cannot communicate with us because they don’t understand us, but their energy reacts with ours and that’s why we get such enjoyment from parks and plant life. This again highlights the fact that we are all from the one consciousness and we will therefore always be uplifted when we come in contact with theses energies, because they are part of us. Fairies can be seen, usually by those who are clairvoyant. They look like little flecks of coloured or white light.
I have seen these lights for myself when sitting in my garden. I could see little lights around my face as I bent to tend my roses one afternoon. I flicked at them thinking they were bugs lol, only to be told by my guide that they were indeed fairies I was swatting away. I apologised of course and hoped that they were not too offended.
So the next time you are surrounded by flowers, send out a thought to the fairies who tend them. For without them the plants on the earth would have no direction or form and the world would be a colourless place.

Whatever you believe in, I have hopefully given you a little bit of evidence that some do exist. I hope to bump into someone else who can give me evidence the others do as well. For now I can’t say either way.

Space Clearing.

Space clearing in your home.

Your house, believe it or not, can become a haven for dirt. Not from dust, but from residual energy. Here are three steps to make it sparkle again.

First of all do the usual house chores like hovering, dusting, making everything spick and span. When you have done this shower/bath and put a dab of essential oil on your pulse points (make sure it is in carrier oil please.) You need to focus your mind on what you are clearing. Whether it be one room or the whole house. Ask your spirit guides to come close to help you with this clearing.

Tools you will need.

Drums, chimes, bells, singing bowl, Crystals

Whatever ones you use, make sure you have something they can rest on so you can carry them easily from room to room.

Go into the room you are clearing and stand. Close your eyes and feel the energy of the room. Is it heavy, light, stale, does it make you fel happy sad, nothing at all? Look at your tools. Whatever one you feel drawn to will be the one you should use. Use the tool as you walk around the room in a clockwise direction. When you’ feel’ you do not need to use the tool anymore, say a small prayer such as heavenly father, divine spirit. Place a blessing on this room and everyone who sits here. You can say your own affirmation. Whatever you feel is right.


Once you have done the room/house the tricky part is saving all that lovely energy that you have created. Choose a crystal that you like, hold it and say, take away the negative and replace this room with positive energy and then leave it behind in the room. Remember to cleanse the crystal every now and then.

 Good morning.

This picture was taken by an amateur photographer.

Look closely and tell me what you see.

Let me tell you what happened in my angel circle last month. It's a new circle. Everyone is developing nicely and I am attuning them, via the Chi Ball, to the various angelic spheres. Last week I was teaching how to interpret angel cards.

Engrossed in the cards and talking away, a lady in the group suddenly interrupted and said 'who is that talking?'
The room fell silent and quite faintly we could all hear a voice coming through my ipod speakers, which I use for our meditations.

It was quiet, distorted and I put it down to the speakers picking up a radio or something. It stopped after a minute or so, we carried on, and then the voice was back. I was still convinced the speaker was just picking up passing rubbish and we ignored it. The circle continued going very well and eventually came to an end.

Afterwards I asked my husband to check my speakers as it was very irritating that they picked up things while I was teaching.
His findings robbed me of words, for a change, and also made me a bit angry with myself. The speakers were switched off for a start, so they couldn't pick up anything AND they are ipod speakers. Without the ipod plugged into them they would have been dead anyway.


So what were the voices coming through the speakers? Was it an angelic communication? Being a parapsychologist I'm always questioning spiritual happenings, as many can be logically explained away. This however, can't be explained. The speakers were switched off.

Angel circles are very hard to work. The dynamics of them have to be perfect. The sitters energies need to compliment each other and then the circle begins to slowly meshes together to form a tight bond. It's very quick to have this sort of communication and I wish I had listened more closely now to the voice. But it is no use berating myself as I am sure the angels know me by now and will realise they need to try a little harder to get my attention.

Unfortunately, I have to wait a whole month to see if the angels will speak to us again. What is that saying about patience? lol


Anyway, before I go here is a bit about Number Sequences.
Angels often communicate messages to you by showing you sequences of numbers. It can be by using the clock's time, car number plate or a phone number on a billboard. They hope that if you see the same number repeatedly, you’ll acknowledge them. For example, you may keep seeing the number sequence 111, and every time you look at a clock the time reads 1:11 or 11:11.
Here are the basic meanings of various number sequences.

111 - This sequence means that there is a gate of opportunity opening up. As all thoughts are sent out into the Universe, it has now taken a picture of your thoughts and it is attempting to give them form.
222 - Any ideas you may have are ideas are becoming a reality. Keep nurturing them, and holding positive thoughts.
333 - The Ascended Masters are around you. Call upon them, especially when you see the number 3 patterns.
444 - You are surrounded by angels. They have heard your prayers and are trying to, reassure you of their love and help.
555 - A major life change is upon you. Don't think of this as a negative as change is a natural part of life.
666 - Your thoughts are focused too much on the material world. You need to balance them. The angels are asking you to focus on spirit and service, and know your material and emotional needs will automatically be met.
777 - The angels are congratulating. This is a wonderful sign and means more miracles will occur. 888 - You have come full circle and a phase is about to end. This is telling you to prepare for it. It could mean that you are winding up a relationship, or that there is light at the end of the tunnel. 999 - This sign means it is the end of a big phase in your personal life. It is also a huge message to all those who work with the light of spirit. It means start healing as Mother Earth needs you right now."
000 - A reminder you are one with God.

Psychic Development.

When I speak to people about being Psychic I am surprised by some of the feedback I get. Let me tell you a few things that will surprise you. EVERYONE is the world is Psychic. You’re born with it. You don’t have to be ‘special’ to be psychic. Its nature’s in built safety alarm for yourself. What people don’t know is how to tap into it.

Firstly Let me tell you what WON’T happen.
You won’t see dead people
You won’t see anything horrible
You won’t start wearing hippy clothes and chanting omm (not yet anyway lol)

What you will see is the workings of your own body. Recognising the energies within. Understanding your intuition. That quiet voice which helps you in life , love and career moves.
You will learn about the aura and what it does for you. How to touch it, make it work for you and read others intentions by just looking at their aura. You will work with mantic tools such as a pendulum. You’ll be surprised how this handy gadget can find those lost keys.

Crystals. Learn how to use these amazing stones to heal yourself and others.

Psychic Development is fun. It’s not scary and it’s a great way to meet new people, make new friends and learn about the things that have mystified people through the ages.

If you would like to join my group or do an online development, email me margaretwest(at)hotmail(dot)com

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 mainly to mediums who are Clairknowing (clairaudient, sentient and voyant) To those who are not that lucky, a spirit person has to communicate the best way that they can.
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, I'll get sent a still picture of my son, who was in the army. This is known as a symbolic image. They will also use the image of my own mother, to let me know they are a mother.

Spirit people will use whatever is stored in your head to get their poinbt across. So I always say watch every program you can, read every book you can lay your hands on. Even if you have no interest in them. I half watched a program on world war one the other day. 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 used. It is down to the medium to decipher them and perhaps now, you may understand why they don't always get it right. My advice to any medium is, if you don’t understand a symbol ask the spirit person to send you another. Don’t waste time deliberating over them. Work with your guide. 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. They are just too complicated sometimes.

A medium needs to direct their guides as to how they 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.

It's a lot of hard work to do my job, but then so is any job really. You just have to persevere. I'd love to hear how other mediums work.

How spiritual energies work.

Many of us at some stage in our lives have felt or feared what we might believe is an evil spiritual presence. I have to say in my experience, most of the time they are mistaken. The usual cause is our own fears of the unknown. What people usually experience is their own spirit guide or loved one in spirit who has come for a visit. The feelings spirit give off at times can produce a number of sensations that can cause fear. That’s why I believe sometimes if you feel these sensations strongly it’s a good idea to do a Psychic Development course to understand what is happening. Once you understand the sensations, and how spirit use their energies to communicate, you'll find you have nothing to be fearful about. But, in saying that, everyone has their own natural in-built fears and caution of the unknown that can sometimes get the better of them. It stems from instinctual self preservation and also partly comes from our own beliefs concerning spiritual matters.

Here is how it works.

Spirit people blend their energies within our aura. This can cause you feel all sorts of strange sensations. Tingling on your face or body, the hairs on the back of your necks stand on end, along with goose bumps and cold shivers down your spine. Now many of these sensations are associated with fear, but let me tell you that true spiritual attacks or hauntings are very rare. I personally cleansed a house not so long ago and the spirit people there were not haunting, they were mostly having a look at the family or used to live in the house previously.

Years ago, people suffering from mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and split personality disorders were said to be possessed by Demonic forces. That's how the word ‘possession ‘came about. Nowadays, medical science recognises that these illnesses do exist and are just disturbances of the mind. However I do need to add it is possible, to those who are spiritually aware, to experience a mild to quite severe spiritual attacks or unnerving experiences carried out on them by a spirit who is either cloaked in their own darkness (hell of their own making)or they are lost souls seeking help. These can be malignant spirit people and are often themselves in a confused and disturbed state of mind.

I know a lot of people believe that when you pass into the next world you go into a beautiful light. That is mostly true. But some don’t. Usually it’s those who feel that they have unfinished business or are not at peace enough to let their earthly ties go. Sometimes spirit people get stranded because they died very traumatically and on a very rare occasion, they don’t fully realise that they have died.

In the worst case scenario, vulnerable people can be over shadowed by a spirit person giving the feeling they are being Demonic Possessed, this is however very rare. Demonic possession to all intents and purposes is the ability for a bad spirit to have an effect on an individual’s mind.

Let me explain how I see possession.
Under normal circumstances Spirit do not have an ability to possess us whether they be good or bad in nature. HOWEVER, there are ways in which spirit can fool us into believing they are having a physical effect on us. Hence those who believe they are possessed. A Spirit person can over shadow the mind allowing them to mentally manifest within. This is known as Trance, a form of clairvoyance. Let me stress, unless the medium allows it, the spirit person can never enter the body. All they are doing is attuning their energy to the mediums aura. That way they can link and impose their mind. Mediums have excellent spirit guides that work with them, sometimes due to this close bond of trust, a medium will give over both their mind and body to be used. Not everyone can do this. It is usually only done for guides who come through to give inspirational words or healing for beneficial purposes and under tightly controlled situations.
If someone untrained does this, without their guides help, it is possible for a spirit with evil intent to push them to do something not very nice. This usually happens to the vulnerable and unstable. They have their own free will still; they are not being taken over. The person is choosing to listen to this spirit person. This would obviously be a very frightening and disturbing experience to go through and to be faced with. It would probably cause the victim to become very withdrawn and closed off, often feeling unable to turn to anyone who understands and believes what they are going through. Again, this is very rare.

Malignant spirit prey on your own fears, making you open and susceptible to their influences. Fear takes us to a more negative spiritual vibration, as fear itself is a negative vibration. The best defence is to keep a positive mind, therefore raising your vibration above theirs. Surround yourselves with a bubble of protective light to cast out and keep any negative influences away.
Fears are fuelled by superstitions which advocate the existence of evil such as demons and the devil.

Most mediums are aware there are those in spirit who are lost or cloaked in their own dark misery, but they aren’t demons, they are human souls. Hell exists within our own mind. No-one is denied transition into spirit, but there are lower planes within spirit for those who need to cast off their darkness and move on to higher planes of light. So it is important if we become awoken to spirit that we learn how to protect and shut ourselves down properly to avoid this conflict that might occur.

Has anyone ever experienced anything I have mentioned or do you have something you would like to say on the matter? Please do comment. All your words add to the teachings of spirit.

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.

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!
