1. Firstly one of the common phenomena we might experience is catching glimpses of spirit out of the corner of the eye in peripheral vision (This might also include seeing aura), sometimes these spirits might be seen as shadows or as normal figures standing or moving to one side. The problem is that as soon as one looks directly to see what or who it is, there is often nothing to be seen, therefore mostly we put it down to a figment of our own imaginations, when in reality we are seeing spirit.

2. Another way in which spirit are seen here, is as tiny sparks of light or as transparent orbs or beads that at times become bright light or flashes of light about the size of a marble and can at times be caught on film as seen in the three pictures to the right. Mostly these orbs are seen in peripheral vision mostly, flashing briefly often as white light but they can vary in colours. These sparks of light can be seen as spiritual pearls or orbs hovering and gliding through the air and are often seen to be following us or others around the home, they are normally best seen indoors or out of direct daylight.

3. These spiritual pearls or orbs of light are a form and presence that spirit within the realms can take to remain constantly here upon the earthly plane. This is so that spirit never have to leave the earth completely and a small part of their spirit can remain behind here all the time in this form, so that they can also be living their lives within the spirit realms whilst being here at the same time to guide and watch over us. Our spirit loved ones and guides can all take this secondary form to remain here within hours of their passing. Guides and loved ones can communicate with us and each other through this form if we are spiritually aware by blending within our aura and finding attunement to us. Spirit orbs have been photographed on many occasions all round the world and are often seen by mediums hovering over the heads of those that they are giving a spiritual message too.

4. Spirit are etheric beings of energy and light and spirit blend their own spiritual energies with those of our own via our aura and then they attempt to find attunement to our spiritual vibration which is much slower than that of spirits, this is because our mortal bodies act like a dampening field to our spirits slowing down our spirits vibration, thus it is helpful if we try to heighten our own vibration and meet spirit half way between their normal vibration and that of our own normal vibration, then clairvoyance becomes possible. Once it is we might gain a sense of them and of the thoughts or impressions they are trying to channel to us through psychic and clairvoyant intuitions, impressions, senses and perceptions on a level that is in attunement with our own spirits vibration and frequency, this is somewhat like tuning the dial of a radio into the right station until it is possible to receive and transmit feelings and thoughts with spirit.

5. The blending of spirit energies within our auras is what many here firstly sense and become aware of and when a spirit draws close to us to blend their energies within our aura to attune to us in an attempt to communicate with us to help us to become aware of their presence, it can produce feelings of energies and tingling sensations and even goose bumps and hairs standing on end on the back of our necks, as well as warmth or coolness that can be felt particularly around the head and shoulders, this blending can at times produce a feeling around the face not dissimilar to a feeling of having cobwebs on ones face or even a feeling like tiny kisses on the cheeks.

6. The energies that spirit use can at times become very powerful and the tingling sensations can begin to itch and even become acute to the extent where some find it hard to bear while in meditation, which can make it hard to concentrate. The reason spirit have to use so much power is that they need to open the spiritual minds chakra perception and receptive centers and after a 30 minute meditation or so it can leave one with a slight headache but no harm is done. The other common experience this gives is a feeling of pressure on top of the mind, this again is to do with the opening of the chakra within the spiritual mind.

7. We may begin at times sensing that there is someone we know in our presence standing by our side or a feeling like someone is putting a hand on our shoulder as a supportive gesture or stroking our hair lightly, this is normally done by loved ones in spirit when they are trying to make us aware of their presence.

8. The perceptions and impression spirit loved ones might try to send into our minds are often memories of themselves, if they wore a distinctive perfume or smoked a pipe we might be given a sense of these smells as it acts like a trigger to remind us of them so as we then think of them and it helps us to form a psychic link with them, but these senses are usually quite subtle for beginners. We may also feel or experience emotions or inspirations of thoughts and words that just seem to pop into our minds. Most feel and sense these things rather than hearing spirit voices directly, while others can at times see and hear spirit more directly in the mind, clairvoyance is the general term given to this, but clairsentience is feeling or sensing spirit more like psychics do and clairaudience is hearing spirit voices clearly in the mind or coming out of the air on a rare occasional.

9. This can be somewhat like listening to the little voice within your own mind, again it is subtle or sometimes just an impression that drifts into your mind as it might do in a daydream and one has to trust it is spirit. Those who have been mediums for many years, still at times question whether they are really hearing spirit at times. But there is proof that comes in its different ways and may just seem like an intuitive feeling about someone and if you ask them often it is found that your feelings are correct. This can confirm to you that what you are giving is correct and helps you to open up the gifts and abilities of the spirit as you learn to trust in what you are receiving from spirit and the stronger the link becomes. And other spiritual insights, messages and development often come to those who open their minds to spirit.

10. Some who are aware of spirit say they can hear or sense spirit loved ones moving around the home and coming up the stairs as they would of done while they were still here on the earthly plane and those that feel their presence do sometimes get impressions of a song or something this person always used to sing or say. Spirit are also on occasions believed to be responsible for moving objects about the home and often this might be a picture of themselves that has been moved, others here have witnessed objects actually being moved by spirit and even at times being knocked through the air.

11. Some spirit seem to of learnt how to make knocking noises and can even make door bells and old phone bells ring to some extent, this often happens in the early hours of the morning between 2 to 5am and it can be somewhat annoying for those that do get this on a regular basis. Those who do get fed up with it, find that acknowledging the spirit who is trying to get their attention, often stops it and that is normally all spirit are trying to do is get our attention and acknowledgment and this is mostly just spirits way of saying hello, because they cannot get our attention in another way. Some here do get a little unnerved by such experiences, usually there is no harmful intent meant. On a very rare occasion individuals here have picked up a phone in a half sleep like state, which is a more receptive state to spirit and have had a conversation with a loved one or friend who has passed over, this seems like you are talking on the phone to them, but is actually clairvoyants.

12. Some receive clairvoyant impressions, while others are given intuition or premonitions which are more like gut feelings and this works more on a psychic level and is received in a more indirect manner through the solar-plexus chakra which is the main psychic perception center, rather than in a more clairvoyant ability to sense, hear or see within the mind through the crown and brow chakra, which can include seeing images on the psychic minds third eye or having impressions of images put within the mind without actually seeing them. This is why people say it was a gut feeling that they have had something like a premonition or intuitive feeling, rather than knowledge passed directly into the mind.

13. As mentioned we might notice some of these things as we are going off to sleep or waking up and spirit might give us anything within these intuitions and impressions and they can be related to past present or future events and situations, including others we know here or in spirit and spirit also work with a number of people here in dream state, that is they give intuitions and sometimes premonitions to us during our dreams, so what we might receive is partly of our own dream and imagination and partly what spirit are giving, often spirit give things in symbolic ways that we should try to decipher the meanings of, such as seeing a rough ocean might mean emotional turmoil or a calm ocean might mean emotionally well balanced etc.

14. Spirit can also work with us on what seems to be a physical level, which again they do by impressions and using their energies to over shadow us to some extent through psychic and clairvoyant abilities, this could be a feeling of ailments or such like and often it is given because spirit would like us to ask for healing for someone who has a need of healing. As an example if spirit wish us to listen to them they may make one of our ears itch or feel warm, or if we are making decisions and ask spirit if it is right or wrong they might make one of our hands itch to say yes and the other to say no.

15. If we ask spirit to help us or ask a question the answer can at times come in unexpected manners, such as we might pick up a book and it falls open on a certain page and there we may see a word or sentence that stands out, that may well be a indirect answer to our question. If we ask to serve and help others, then spirit can help and guide us to find these opportunities it is up to us to recognize whether we feel we have been guided and given such opportunities that might be presented to us and they often come in subtle ways, that we often put down to coincidence or chance rather than that of being guided.

16. Many working mediums ask spirit to help them in their daily lives, even asking spirit to help them find a parking space and often you hear a medium say that spirit provided the help they asked for. I heard of a medium stranded out in the rain when their car broke down miles from anywhere. She asked spirit for help and within two minutes a kindly looking man pulled up and asked her if she had broken down, she said she had and he gave her a lift to her home 10 miles away. Was this orchestrated by spirit or just coincidence? That’s for the individual to decide, but she believed spirit answered her calls for help.

17. Spiritual awareness can virtually come over night to some, while in others it develops more slowly and often there might be a need for the gift to be developed, there are those who are aware but have been denying and rejecting these abilities for a long time for whatever reasons or fears they might have, sometimes cause by religious beliefs that we should not speak with the dead, however I have never met a dead spirit yet and there is no death all pass directly into spirit at mortal demise. This is quite natural as we often are wary of the unknown, yet there are many here who have had these abilities since childhood and are quite at home with these gifts. Those that have these abilities no matter whether they have had them for years or not, often have many unanswered questions they wish to ask about their abilities and experiences, along with who are their guides and how are their loved ones in spirit etc.

18. For those who are naturally spiritually aware or those that continue to develop the gifts of the spirit, there are a multitude of things we can learn from spirit guides, family members and helpers in spirit along with being of service to spirit ourselves and we can all continually develop the latent gifts of our own spirit with the help of those that come to work with us.

There is one group that can find it hard to develop spiritual abilities and these are those who have a more analytical mind and they frequently question the validity of how spiritual communications work and how can it be possible and this in itself causes a blockage in their own spirits ability to open up to spiritual communications. It is important to have self confidence and belief in ones own spirit and spiritual abilities, as self belief in our own spiritual self is very important as the spirit only rewards those who are open minded and it is a prerequisite that enables us to find the correct attunement and vibration within our own spirit and mind, that then allows our spirit to come into its own and find the freedom from our material minds to find attunement to our own spirits latent gifts and therefore also to the spirit world.

So the one thing we should never do is doubt our own spirits abilities and realize that our spirit has no restrictions and that it is our own mortal minds and conceptions that limits and places restrictions on what we can and cannot do, there for often bringing limitations onto our spirit by the way we think. So in effect to discover our spirits latent abilities, we have to be worthy of our own spirit to receive the rewards through unfoldment and self belief. It is true that our spirit is our own best judge of what is or is not appropriate for us as of yet for us to be able to do and all spiritual abilities have to be earned and even if they come naturally that is still because we have earned them often through not doubting the self and those who are less spiritually inhibited are often more open minded, trusting and imaginative naturally finding the gifts of the spirit developing in their daily lives.
