Monday

Dear Diary,

 My son came home for the weekend and brought with him a few visitors from the other side. He didn't do this on purpose and he seemed oblivious that they were with him when he got to the house. At first they didn't make themselves known but I noticed the spirits later on in the afternoon when were visiting in the living room. It was hard not to notice as there were two of them that looked like whiffs of white smoke. Both of them kept darting around the room like they were checking the place out.

Later on I was in the hall and saw one of them moving down the stairs making it's way into one of the doorways, as if it already knew where it was going. The next morning I was taking the recycling out to the garage and one of them followed me and then came back into the house with me when I was done. I turned around and made sure the spirit knew that I was okay with them being there. I did however let them know that as guest they needed to behave when they were visiting. The feeling that I got from them is that they are just curious. Neither one has made any contact as far as communicating.

My son went back to school for the week on Sunday and today I did noticed that one of the spirits seemed to have decided to stay behind with us. I am guessing the other one went back with my son. Spirits can be interested or even curious about the living as much as we can be curious about them. Spirits are intelligent and have the ability to communicate when they want to. But not all spirits want to make the effort to communicate and like to just do their own thing. If they do want to make a connection then they will find a way to attract your attention. These spirits seem to be happy with our home and may decide to move on when they find someone or something that is more interesting. For now I am happy to help if they want help or just let them be if they want to hang around for a little while.

Friday "Color"

Dear Diary,

  Yesterday I had a lovely conversation with a friend about color, as we were sharing I told her about the time I had been surfing through the channels with my son when we came across a program on ghosts. It looked interesting so we decided to watch and see what they were doing. In the show there was a team who came to help a family who's house was haunted by angry spirits. As I was watching what struck me was that the team was wearing all black tee-shirts. My immediate thought was that it was a lot like waving a red flag in front of an angry bull. First the spirits are already angry then aggravated when someone who is wearing a color that attracts their attention wants to make contact with them.

I felt in that moment that someone was going to get attacked. That is when the team leader who was man started to get really upset that he was getting attacked by an aggressive spirit. As soon as he did then another person on his team got attacked. I couldn't watch it. I asked my son to change the channel.

I don't have anything against these kind of shows as there are so many amazing people who communicate with spirits and do incredible work in helping them cross or heal. What I wanted to point out is that when working with the spirit world it helps a lot to learn the different ways of how energy works and what attracts spirits when communicating or crossing them.

I know that something as simple as color may seem to be a very small thing but when you are working with energy and vibration then it is something that you need to know about. Even the simple things like knowing that black or dark colors soaks up energy faster than the lighter colors are important. We all know this from science class that if you wear black outside in the sun you will get hot before someone else who is wearing a lighter color will. Knowing this since spirits are in a form of energy, if you are trying to contact or cross an aggressive spirit wearing black may not be a choice that I would make.

Colors are very important, as we carry them in our auras and we see them in our lives. They help us sooth our emotions and aid with healing. Color frequencies can be measured in Hz = Hurts, or cycles/second. They send out vibrations and even though they are something that we take for granted can be very big when working with the other side.

Wednesday "Interpreting Dreams"

Dear Diary,

I had the opportunity to work with someone on their dream interpretation. It was a delightful break for me as it has been awhile since I have done dream work. The call came in yesterday with the request of  wanting to know about nightmares that they were having which had been very vivid and kept reoccurring. The nightmares were all different but they had the same since of urgency. When they were compared they also all had the same message.

Now what I like about dream work and interpretation is that each person has their own experience in which their subconscious uses to communicate to them. When the subconscious wants to make its self known to get messages across to the person it uses their emotions and experiences through symbols. It is it's own language. The other part is that there are some ground rules that relate to most people but the rest depends on each individual as to what is going on with them in their own lives. That makes it fun and different for each person.

For example a dream of snakes can mean so many different things. To a person who likes snakes the message may mean one thing opposed to someone who is terrified of them. In some cultures snakes are considered very wise and have great healing medicine while in others a snake maybe considered to be a sign of evil. Another example are storms. There are many different kinds of storms. Personally I love a good Texas thunder storm and the more lighting makes it all the more exciting. My sister-in-law from San Francisco on the other hand was terrified and worried that the lightning was going to strike the house when she visited one year. If you mention a storm that is a tropical depression then my reaction is to turn different shades of green from my experience of being out on a sailboat in the middle of the Bahamas in that kind of storm. If you mentioned the same storm to my husband, he would tell you that it was the best time he ever had riding it out and would do it again. That is why interpreting a dream depends really on the person who is dreaming it.

If you take for instance the symbol of the house.. The house in dreams always represents the self. So with this rule in place now you have the different kinds of houses and the different rooms that are inside the house. Each room and each kind of house is a symbol that represents what is happening with that person. That is the fun part which is learning to look up or find the different meanings in the dream from breaking it down. Color also is anther symbol and if the house in your dream is a cretin color then that means something to. Again remembering that your subconscious is speaking in a language that is talking to your soul and to your mind. Your part is to learn the language.

One of my teachers told me to keep a dream journal and to write down my dreams each morning. He also said to break it down with the different symbols and then write down what each symbol meant to me. When I did it I was surprised that it really worked. Some of the messages in my dreams were things that I had buried deep within my subconscious that when I saw them I knew the information was very important to me. Ever have that feeling that you know something is wrong or you can't put your finger on it? Well, your subconscious knows and it is there locked away until we are ready to deal with it. Dreams can be those opportunities that hold the keys to those things that help us find answers to within ourselves.

There are lots of books with dream symbols and websites to help with finding the messages in dreams. One dream website is http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/  The best thing to do is to find the different resources and the one that fits for you. If it doesn't resonate, then move on. Again we are all different and one website or a particular book may work for you and may not work for another. If you find one that fits then that will help you get started after that you will know your own symbols as you work on interpreting your dreams.

Monday

Dear Diary,

I was upstairs Saturday morning trying to do some light cleaning when I noticed the distinct heavy smell of cigar smoke. At first it only annoyed me as I was busy putting things away and dusting. I had to make a few trips up and down the stairs but each time I came back up I noticed the smell. None of us smoke and I am allergic to it. At the time I didn't want to ask who was there as we were getting ready leave to visit an art gallery and I wanted to get a few things done before we left. I finished up and ran downstairs to get dressed forgetting about our upstairs visitor.

Later that afternoon when we got back I had to go upstairs to check on one of the cats and when I did I realized that the smell was gone. I looked around expanding my energy trying to locate the spirit that was there that morning but the smoker had left. I had missed out on that encounter. The spirit didn't contact me so that was the end of that. I have to say that I really don't like it when the spirits smoke in the house. It smells exactly like real smoke. The only difference is that the smoke doesn't get caught up in the upholstery or the drapes.  I guess in that way we are blessed.

The rest of the weekend was busy with my husband, as we started early in celebrating our wedding anniversary which is really today. We went out to several art galleries to see who is new and upcoming in the art world. We also spent time walking through the botanical gardens taking lots of pictures while enjoying the beauty of nature around us. It was wonderful! We enjoyed our time together for the few days we got to run around. It was fun to just get away and do something different as tomorrow we have to get back to work and our normal lives.

Friday

Dear Diary,

Okay a lot has changed since I did the house clearing. It has been really quiet and I got to report to our vet that the animals seem to be feeling a lot better. They are eating again and playing with each other. Last night when everyone was asleep I decided to do a clearing on myself. I ended up waking up in the middle of the night and realized that I was, "wool gathering". When I was fully awake I did an assessment to see why I was feeling so worried and became aware that there wasn't anything to be worried about. This meant that the emotion that I was carrying was not real or even valid. It was just an emotion that I was carrying around for no good reason.

Since it was in the middle of the night and I didn't want to get up, I decide to go into a mediation going into my solar plexus where I could feel the emotional energy was stuck. As soon as I was sure, I used a technique in which I focused my attention on that part of my body, feeling a warm sensation that started to heat up. As this temperature begin to rise I allowed it to burn off anything what wasn't useful. To do this I would think of something that would stir up a fear and once I felt it, I would then pull the emotional energy into the heat letting it go. I continued to do this for awhile until I was tired and ready to stop. It was lot like burning paper in a fire that wasn't needed anymore. Then I used the second part of this technique which was to use the hot energy to expand through the whole body and out through the full aura, cleansing it. Last I used a golden light to fill in any spaces that were left that needed to heal. It was amazing and I slept like a baby the rest of the night. Need to remember to do that more often.

Wednesday "Being Sensitive"

Dear Diary,

I do have some good news after clearing the house the latest pet who was ill is getting a lot better. In the last month we have had three pets visit the vet for different reasons. I have to say that I do worry about them when our little ones are not feeling well.

I did finally realize that often I get distracted and need to remember to clear the house. The visitor the other night was a good wake up call. Clearing a house is just as important as much as it is to clean it. I think that most people like myself clear their homes when they have spirit activity or in my case dark energies that become curious.

To clear it I began with creating a big ball of white light that filled the heart of the house and expanding it out through all the rooms with unconditional love and support. Later I prayed and used Reiki through all the rooms and corners of the house. Last I took peppermint oil mixed it with distilled water spraying the spaces in the house to cleans it from any residue. The oil not only does the work but makes everything smell nice.

I want to make a note that being human we all create energy waves with our emotions and what is happening around us. It is the waves that make patterns in the energy fields within our homes and our own auras that become a calling card to the other side. A spirit or entity, etc... may be comfortable, curious or even excited about the energy patterns and will often go to investigate.  If the energy in the pattern is compatible then the spirit may decide to stay or hang out. Dark energies will often feed off of fear and other lower emotions while higher energies will be more attractive to the love. It all depends on what is happening with what is going on and the people in the house. This can be somewhat disconcerting if there is a sensitive person in the household who is being affected by all of it.

For many people who are born sensitive they are beacons that also attract the attention of spirits wherever they go. This light is magnified within their aura that lets the spirits know that the person who has this light has the ability to communicate with them. This may cause some distress for those who don't really understand what is happening to them and why they are having supernatural experiences on a regular basis.

A person who is sensitive to the spirits and the other side has the challenge to really learn how to control their reactions when being confronted or in the presences of the spirits etc... Learning how to master techniques that help maneuver and communicate are crucial in keeping one's sanity as it is a way of life on a day to day basis. It is kind of like living on boat in the middle of the ocean and learning about the creatures that live in the ocean. Someone with this ability does not have to be an active medium to have these gifts, it is something that many are born with and it is as much apart of them as an arm or leg. The key is not to be afraid and become educated about it. Then it is a choice to become a communicator, medium, spirit rescuer, or to just live in peace with themselves and the spirits around them.

Monday "A Dark Visitor "

Dear Diary,

Last night after going to bed I immediately felt a very heavy presence. It was so thick and what I mean by thick was that it felt like it covered me like a blanket. I could literally feel it on top of me but not actually touching me. I would describe the feeling like being in a very small tent and knowing that it was really close to you. As I turned over to check on my husband I could see a very dark image of a head and shoulders of a spirit move up close and personal between my husband and me. I could even feel it move with me as I rolled over. When I touched my husband he was sound asleep and unaware of what was happening. My first reaction was of being aware of being suffocated but I quickly pushed that away knowing that it was because of the dark visitor.

As I laid there I could feel what felt like a small electrical current of fear coming up through my lungs which I immediately released knowing that a dark entity would become stronger if I allowed myself to be enveloped by that energy. After getting control of myself and my emotions I then allowed myself to acknowledge what was happening. Once I made an assessment of the situation with a clearer head I decided that I didn't want to confront or even spend any energy on what was trying to unfold. I knew that I had already added protection earlier and felt confident that if I didn't give into my own fear it couldn't bother me. With all this in mind I felt very confident which allowed me to turn back over getting comfortable as I put all my attention into going to sleep. I was not disturbed the rest of the night and this morning when I awoke it was gone.

The rest of the weekend was uneventful filled with lots of friends, family and a wonderful tea that I was invited to. I say uneventful, we have been experiencing the animals getting sick lately and have made a few trips to the vet even this morning. There seems not to be an explanation of why they are sick, as the vets can't find anything that is causing their symptoms.

Today on my list is to clear the house and bless it with oil, prayers and light energy.
