Who or what are the Shadow People, Flashes of a Presence, and Energy Orbs?

By 2 Comments

Person in shadow in from of a mapHave you ever seen a dark shape floating down the hall, a flash of movement out of the corner of your eye as if something or someone was there but when you look you see nothing out of the ordinary, or an orb of energy that you are not quite sure you are actually seeing in person, on videos, or in photographs? Are these frightening specters (ghosts), loved ones in spirit, an ominous presence around you, or angels? The dark shapes, flashes of movement, and orbs are all examples of paranormal experiences people have had and often misunderstand. Depending on the witness, these experiences can invoke fear of the unknown or wonder about the mysterious happenings.

Shadow People or Shapes

Many people report seeing dark shapes or shadows moving within their homes or places of business. Because the energy appears dark, people often misunderstand what these shapes are and immediately think it must be something otherworldly that is threatening. As ominous as they may seem, they are not. These shadowy shapes are often loved ones in spirit, both people and animals, who are visiting those they love on earth. They can also be harmless people or animals in spirit who used to reside in or visit the location. They do not have to be connected to people who are currently occupying the space. They visit because the space held good memories for them or because they are curious about what is now happening within the space. Everything that exists is comprised of energy. When beings in spirit, including people and animals, move through our world, they may inadvertently manifest energy in this world. Because they are not consciously trying to appear fully manifested in the form they took in life, it is a blurry, shadowy shape that appears.

Flashes Out of the Corner of Your Eye of a Presence

There are other times when people catch sight of someone or something out of the corner of their eye, in which they believe they caught sight of a person or animal, but when they turn and look, there is no one there. Again, this is most often your loved ones in spirit checking in to see how you are doing. They are around you more often than you think, especially those that have volunteered to be your guardian angels. When you catch sight of them out of the corner of your eye, again, it is a brief manifestation of their energy. In this case, the sighting is intentional. it is not done to scare or upset you, but to give you a quick flash of their presence to let you know they are there.

Orbs of Energy

The most frequent sightings of orbs of energy occur in photographs and videos. The orbs are also loved ones in spirit or beings in spirit, such as the angels. They are amazing to see not only in photographs and videos, but also manifested in the air in front of you. To determine if it is an orb versus dust in the air or on the lens of a camera, it is best, if possible, to look at photographs or video taken back-to-back from the same position and lighting. If orbs are in every picture or video, then it may be dust, but if you have a series of photos or video and the orbs only show up in one or two images, then it is most likely an orb. Orbs of energy can also be seen with the naked eye. They come in many forms and colors. When my aunt Eileen passed away in 2013, I saw a translucent orb of energy with moving rainbow facets in the shape of an elongated oval. The orb appeared in front of me as I stood outside of her house, then it moved around me in an arc and went through the closed screen door leading into her home. It was with a sense of wonder that I viewed the orb, as I knew it was her moving amongst the family members who had gathered at her home. On a different occasion, my sister reported seeing a turquoise blue orb in the hallway of her home. It was with wonder that she looked upon the orb, as it was something she had never seen before. At the time, she did not know what it was; however, she was not afraid. She assumed it was a being in spirit paying a visit.

When Beings in Spirit Fully Manifest Like Ghosts

On rare occasions, our loved ones in spirit, both pets and people, fully manifest in the form they had in life. This is a unique experience, as it takes a tremendous amount of energy to do and because they do not want to frighten people by appearing like a ghost in front of you. When I was 16, I saw my great-grandmother standing in the doorway of my bedroom. I did not know her well in life as she crossed over into Heaven when I was very young. When I saw her standing there fully manifested, I first questioned whether I was seeing what I was seeing. As I continued to look at her, I observed that she appeared to be slightly transparent. She did not say anything but stood looking at me with a gentle smile on her face. The incident only lasted a minute or two, but it left a lasting positive impression on me. It was an amazing experience. Many people report seeing fully manifested loved ones in spirit sitting on their bed or in their room around the time the loved one in spirit passed. Some of the loved ones in spirit can be heard saying “I love you,” or expressing that it is time for them to leave this earth, while others are a presence in the room in the way I described the visit from my deceased great-grandmother.

Giving Proof of Our Existence Beyond Life on Earth

The experiences described above are examples of how much more there is to our existence than appears to be and that we exist in spirit beyond life on earth. When and if you experience these unusual phenomena, I hope you can now look upon them in wonder instead of fear.

What is Astral Travel?

By 2 Comments

Door opening in darkness, revealing light

Years ago, when I was relaxed and almost to the point of falling asleep, I had an experience in which I felt the physical sensation of my soul lifting out of my body. It was an alarming experience as I felt the separating of my soul from my physical body as it lifted upwards towards the ceiling and outward toward the end of the bed. My initial thoughts were:

“What is this?”
“Oh my God, am I dying?”
“No!”

As soon as the “no” resounded in my head, I felt the rush of my soul rejoining my physical body. As I lay there, now wide awake, I contemplated the experience. I knew I was not in the processing of dying, because if I were, my soul would have continued on despite my objections. I had never experienced astral travel before; however, I knew it existed but did not realize it could happen spontaneously. Once I realized what my spiritual guides, which I refer to as my Heavenly Support Team, were attempting to do, I relaxed and settled down again. I apologized for my very human and fearful reaction and gave them permission to take me on a journey. I took comfort in the knowledge that my soul would not fully disconnect from my body during this process, as I have experienced similar sensations of the lifting of my soul when providing readings and felt the connection through a cord comprised of energy between my physical body and my soul. To get myself back to the relaxed state I was in, I breathed deep through my nose and exhaled through my mouth as I do when entering into meditation, while clearing my mind and opening up my heart and spirit to the journey they wished to take me on. As I went deeper into the meditative state, I felt my soul rise again. Without my previous fears getting in the way, I was able to relax and enjoy the experience more as I felt my soul lift up and away from my body. I experienced a light, floating feeling as I traveled through the rooms of my own home. I then felt myself rise above my home, seeing it and my neighborhood from a bird’s eye view. It was an interesting experience which I viewed with great curiosity and wonder. In a flash accompanied by white light, I found myself soaring over Egypt, seeing the pyramids from above and marveling at what I could see. The next experience I remember is the feeling of my soul rejoining my physical body. There was a feeling of great peace within me as I acknowledged I was back, and then I drifted off to sleep.

The next day, I wondered why the journey included Egypt. I have not physically visited that location in this lifetime; however, it is a place I have long felt drawn towards, especially the pyramids. My deep fascination with the times of pharaohs, including the spiritual beliefs, culture, and lifestyles of all who lived during those times, are topics I have read about and researched. To me, the connection is rooted to a past life in which I lived during those times.

Astral Travel is Real

Yes, astral travel is real. Many people have inadvertently experienced this during near death experiences, also referred to as NDEs. They report the same feeling of the soul lifting up out of the body and viewing their physical body from above on the operating table or at the scene of an accident. They can see and hear all that is going on around them, including hearing doctors, nurses, or medics talking and seeing them poised over their physical bodies as they make the effort to save their life. During some of the experiences, people experiencing the NDE describe leaving the operating room in spirit and going down the hall to where loved ones are in the waiting room. They report hearing and seeing everything in the room as if they were physically standing there. Other times, people have described ascending to a place filled with beautiful light and sound, and at times, seeing loved ones in spirit or the angels accompanied by a great feeling of peace and love.

Heaven’s Waiting Room

For those who visit the place filled with light, it is what I refer to as Heaven’s Waiting Room. I have seen and experienced this place myself through communications from loved ones in spirit, meditations, and through my gifts of mediumship. Often, people who are in a coma, are comatose, or who are suffering with Alzheimer’s or dementia, go to Heaven’s Waiting Room. It is a place which is like Heaven, but not quite Heaven. Loved ones already in Heaven can visit souls who are there, as can God and the Angels. When my grandmother suffered her third stroke, I intentionally opened up the line of spirit-to-spirit communication with her soul to see what she was experiencing. With my gift of clairvoyance, the ability to see with the Third Eye, I saw her as a little girl roller skating outdoors with old-fashioned skates which fit over her shoes. She was joyous and carefree. To me it seems as though it was a happy memory she was reliving in this holding space in Heaven. Using my gifts of mediumship, I greeted her using my mind, not saying anything out loud with my voice, and let her know I was there. As I was speaking to her within my mind using my gifts, she woke up out of her coma in the physical world and said out loud “What was that, Kar?” It was an amazing moment of validation for me that she heard me in Heaven’s Waiting Room and responded to me in the physical world with a continuation and acknowledgement of our conversation.

At the time of that experience, I had already known of the existence of Heaven’s Waiting Room. Detailed experiences had already been communicated to me through my other grandmother who passed from Alzheimer’s, as well as through countless others who had come through in spirit during readings. Being able to actively connect with someone who is alive and experiencing Heaven’s Waiting Room can and does happen during readings. Receiving direct validation from my grandmother of her awareness of my presence with her was incredible.

Astral Projection

When intentionally setting out to take a journey of your soul, it is referred to as Astral Projection. It takes time, practice, the releasing of fears, an openness of mind and spirit, and a lot of patience to be able to do this. There are entire books devoted to the practice. If this is something you are interested in experiencing, I recommend looking up those books and reading those you feel drawn toward to help you with this process. Again, be patient with yourself. If it were as easy as willing yourself to do it, there would not be entire books written about it.

Where You Can Go While Astral Traveling

The possibilities are endless when it comes to Astral Travel, including exploring the universe, visiting Heaven or Heaven’s Waiting Room, visiting loved ones in spirit, and much more. When using Astral Projection methods for a journey of the soul, you may start out with that which is familiar, such as your own home. In time, you can build up to more exploratory travel for your soul.

Why Astral Travel Exists

Astral Travel is an amazing experience which can bring about enlightenment, healing, and knowledge. There is so much more to our existence than what we experience here on Earth. We are human beings on a spiritual journey in which we learn lessons for the evolution of our souls. A significant part of that journey involves figuring out why we exist, what our purposes are for this lifetime, how we fit into the bigger picture, and what that bigger picture is. We are given glimpses into what exists beyond life on Earth through extraordinary experiences that cannot be explained away by anything other than divine intervention, including but not limited to, miracles, spirit-to-spirit communication (also known as mediumship), signs from loved ones in spirit, astral travel, dreams, theophanies (powerful experiences with God), sightings of loved ones in spirit fully manifested like ghosts, objects moved or appearing, and much more. These experiences open up our minds and spirits and get us to thinking, wondering, and exploring. This is all a part of the spiritual journey we embark on which is sprinkled with amazing experiences to help light our way. The more open a soul is to these extraordinary experiences, the more they will occur and with greater detail.

Extraordinary Experiences

Now that you know what astral travel is, I am hoping you can approach it with curiosity, when and if it occurs to you. Do not be surprised, though, if your reaction was like mine during my first experience. It can be a very startling at first; however, if you can let go and allow the journey to take place, you can have some extraordinary experiences to assist your soul.

How Loved Ones in Spirit Communicate and the Messages They Bring

By 4 Comments

When communicating across dimensions, loved ones in spirit bring through information for a spirit medium using all their extrasensory senses and earthly senses. This rich and complex form of communication goes beyond the provision of verbal information to provide immersive experiences for the spirit medium to describe to the recipient of a reading. The information is transferred soul to soul through the invisible network which connects all of us with one another. In some ways, it can be likened to a deep telepathic connection between the medium and the loved one in spirit.

There are unique challenges within this form of communication, including but not limited to, the need for the spirit medium to be completely open to the information coming through and to trust what is being shared. From a spirit medium’s perspective, the information may not be in chronological order, it can contain symbols for the spirit medium to decipher, and it may not make immediate sense to the spirit medium as the flashes of information give the spirit medium glimpses and experiences of a life they did not live. It is the spirit medium’s job to describe all the information they are receiving to help the recipient to identify and claim the loved one in spirit, as well as to convey the message the loved one in spirit would like to share.

As the receiver, the spirit medium does his or her best to allow the information to flow from the loved one in spirit to them. They then describe everything they are experiencing without filtering in order to transmit the information in the way the loved one in spirit is providing it. Spirit mediums need to remain completely open and without bias as the information is coming through as they are the vessel through which the information flows. They are not the originators of the information. They are the receivers and transmitters.

It is important to note the spirit medium does not control who comes through for the recipient or what they want to communicate with their loved ones on Earth. The loved ones in spirit know who the recipient of the reading needs to hear from on a soul level, as well as what the recipient needs to heal their life or to help them on their life path. There are times when recipients have someone unexpected coming through. Who comes through is as important as the message they bring and those messages are meant to bring healing to the soul of the recipient and/or their relatives or friends.

The Recipient Must Be Open

In order for the communications to proceed in the best possible way, the recipient of the reading also needs to be open minded about who will be coming through and the information to be shared. Just as the spirit medium does not control the loved ones in spirit coming through, neither does the recipient. By keeping an open mind and heart, the recipient can be more receptive to the information coming through which helps with the process of claiming and identifying the loved one in spirit. Additionally, without preformed ideas of who will be coming through and why, the recipient allows the loved one in spirit to provide divine insight which may not have been recognized or accepted if the recipient was solely focusing on certain loved ones or expecting specific messages.

Information That Can Be Validated

For each person or pet coming through in spirit, the loved one in spirit transmits information to help the recipient of the reading identify them. The information often includes what they looked like toward the end of their life or if they did not like what they looked like at the end they send an earlier image of themselves, physical characteristics, how they passed, what they did for a living, hobbies, favorite activities, houses they lived in, what their personality was like on Earth, and memories from the past. The information they bring can be validated by the recipient of the reading or by those who knew the loved one in spirit.

Messages from the Other Side

Once the loved one in spirit is claimed and identified by the recipient, they can then share the personal messages they have from the Other Side with the recipient of the reading. The information comes through in the same way, using all the senses of the spirit medium.

What Kinds of Messages Do Loved Ones in Spirit Share?

There are a variety of reasons why a loved one in spirit would like to communicate a direct message to a recipient. All the reasons have to do with healing, love, and our spiritual journeys. When loved ones ascend to Heaven, they are given knowledge and insight which provides a higher understanding of why events occurred the way they did on Earth, why they behaved the way they did, and why others behaved the way they did. The information reveals the lessons they learned in life and the ones they still need to work on, as well as how all that fits into the soul plans laid out before they were born and the reasons for our existence as souls.

It is from this new perspective that loved ones in spirit provide messages for those they love on Earth. They are still who they are, but with a higher understanding and views which enable them to help the living with their journeys. Even if there is someone coming through in spirit who did not behave well in life, they are there to ask for forgiveness in order to provide the recipient the opportunity to release and heal the pain of the past. Loved ones in spirit do not come through to shame, hurt, or embarrass, as the communications are transmitted through the divine love which connects all our souls. The limited understanding they had on Earth has been transcended through knowledge, which also allows for the release of lower negative energies experienced while living on this plane.

Here are some examples of information loved ones in spirit bring through in their messages during a reading:

  • Letting the recipient know they made it to Heaven and that they are doing well
  • Sharing information about what Heaven is like and what they are doing:
    • Who they are with
    • What their experience was crossing over
    • How they can visit people on Earth and send signs and messages, as well as what those signs and messages are
    • What their Heaven looks like
    • Activities
      • Learning new skills, exploring the Past Life Pavilion, volunteering to be a guardian angel, etc.
    • How they are receiving healing – souls who had a hard time in life can receive healing in the Spiritual Hospital
  • Providing assistance for the lives of those on Earth, including insight into events which will occur in the future, including upcoming travel, job situations, relationship issues, etc.
  • Asking for forgiveness and expressing apologies for their behavior on Earth
  • Supplying reasons for the behaviors of people on Earth, including family histories of behavioral patterns that may be causing issues in the present
  • Taking responsibility for their own actions in life to provide healing and understanding
  • To share their love and to say, “I love you” – this is especially important if they did not share this while on Earth
  • Providing encouragement for pursuits in life
  • Sharing information about important events, such as weddings, births, holiday gatherings, and more, as well as mundane events, which occurred since they passed to demonstrate they have been visiting and know about events on Earth
  • Delivering important information in which the recipient needs guidance:
    • The handling of their estate
    • Insight into next steps for jobs, relationships, education, etc.
  • Bringing healing to loved ones on Earth to help their souls move forward with lessons and soul evolution (forgiveness, lessons, relationships)
  • Acknowledging and appreciating assistance provided to them while they were living, as well as for the love shared
  • And much more

The Divine Within Us All

The ways in which loved ones in spirit communicate, as well as the messages they send, are shared through the bond of divine love which connects us all to one another. The more open the spirit medium and the recipient of the reading are to the loved ones in spirit and the communications from Heaven, the more easily the information flows, which also allows for more insights and love to be shared.
