Let me start with a little about myself, so that I am better able to explain my confusion. Ever since a young age I have have been interested in psychics and tarot card and only became interested in channeling a few years after my mother passed away. I had a medium come to about three years ago with the intention of channeling my mother. I was completly hooked after my reading and purchased a book on channeling. However, being a bit of a chicken I was to afrid to read the book at the time. So, about two months ago I came across the book and decided to read it as my curiosity had gotten the better of me. Since that time I have I become really serious about meditating and have even began doing tons of research on-line. The only problem is that the more research I do, the more confused I become. I have stumbles upon topics such as Chakras, OBE/AP, channeling my higher self/spitrts etc. can someone please advise me on where to start? If anyone can reccomend a book that will start me at the beginning or possibly even explain some of the things I am feeling when I meditate?
As of now my main goal is to tap into my higher self and possibly find some guidance for my life I am to frightened at this point to want to have any OBE/AP experience as I have heard that people see cloaked Demonlike figures and that is not something I am ready for.
So anway.....any information is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!!!
