Who says that it couldn't look like flames?  I wouldn't close my mind to the possibility.  My first thought about the flames was aura related.

Thank you for sharing your findings Etherik

What a very colourful spirit!!  Welcome!!

Such as what would you like to talk about??  You leave the options extraordinarily open with such a post.  There is enough main headings in this forum, which are like paintings and the brushstrokes the myriad of topics within each one...

My previous Quote: "In my experience departed loved ones do pop in and check on us at times, but they generally are NOT in a spirit guide capacity."

I still stand by this, but wish to clarify.  

When our departed loved ones pass on, yes they have access to all this wonderful past life knowledge, and have access to things like the halls of knowledge and other very knowledgeable entities from which to learn.  However, they are generally (it is not always the case, but in my years of experience with this, tends to be in majority of cases) not in a fit state to just go access it all and jump into such a huge role of responsibility such as a guide.  Many spirits require rest, healing, releasing and forgiving people and deeds from this life they've just left and help in their transition.

Many passed on friends and family do come to visit us and they do want to help you to progress in this life, but they can still give you a nudge or caring advise occasionally without being a "spirit guide".  I guess once again it is a case of labeling.

Eternity 1 wrote: "At any rate, I always feel very comfortable with these beings. Like I have known them for eons and trust them completely".  This is a wonderful way to know that they are spirit helpers that are safe for you to work with!  Trust your gut and you will never go wrong!

Eternity 1 wrote: "At other times, there are guides who "feel" different to me".  This will likely be because we have a couple of guides who tend to be around us a lot and whose energies we get used to be around, and at other times we have what a tend to term "visiting guides".  These are the ones who only need to come in and help you with that something specific on the odd occasion.  Those that are sensitive, like yourself, will pick up on the change in energy, but it will only be for a short while - maybe several minutes, an hour, a couple of hours.  Then they are gone again.

Personally, I have a good assortment of guides - both genders and a variety of realms and races.  I find some people have a lot of one type around them (i.e angels or male guides etc), but I think it depends what your life mission is to whom you need to work with in this lifetime.

Hi Lanstar Zero!

Sorry I didn't find your post sooner.  I hope that you still read this!  Here are some thoughts on your post - and please don't take offense to anything I have to say, know that it is all said with much love and respect, I just pass on what I am given:

The first and foremost thing I am urged to say to you is you need to stop playing the victim.  When you dwell on being a victim then you cannot function effectively as a person.  It confuses everything else in life, making the world a harder place to understand and work within.

I am told that it is OK to live without a father figure.  It doesn't make you any less of a man, or any less of a person.  It is/was OK.  You cannot change it now, so don't stay there, in the pain.  Take the lessons and move into the NOW.

Anyhow, this experience with your father, it needs you to look at it and use the experience in a positive manner in your life.  There is a strong urge for you to get involved with disadvantaged kids - maybe orphans, or kids from abusive situations.

We are all here for our own specific purposes, but do you know what??!!  It is not necessary to understand what that purpose is!!  Just know that we are here to learn (something that everyone is here to do!) AND you are here to help others.  

Spirit talks to all of us - even those who do not listen.  Interestingly they don't make a whole lot of sense half of the time - mostly because we sit here concerned in now or tomorrow, but where they are there is 10 years or 100 years from now to think about!!  And then we worry and try to logic what we are given, or what we think we might have been given - and we forget that they look at things from a whole separate perspective!

Your neck speaks to me that you are having troubles holding your head up high - ashamed about who you are or what you feel you have become.  Once more, they urge you to stop playing this victim role.

There is lots of encouragement to get out and start helping people - especially the disadvantaged kids.  Wake up everyday and make the first thing you say "hello beautiful world!  I am so happy to be here to greet you!!"  and go to bed every night and thank the universe for the lessons you have been given throughout that day.  Make a choice to live, and to touch others in a beautiful and positive manner.

Sending you many blessings on your journey, and may peace find your soul.  Wizard of Light

I would agree with James that meditation will help.

Also, have you tried those cards - the ones with a triangle, or circle, or square, or wavy lines, or cross on them (i think they might be called ESP cards??).  One of you chooses a card, without the other seeing what it is, and then focuses on the card to send the image or word describing the image to the other person.  The person who hasn't seen the card then tries to guess what card it is.  You can make your own cards with different symbols on them, just make sure that there is a set of all the symbols laid out for the person doing the guessing, so they know what the options will be.  You might be quite surprised at how well you do - I know I was the last time I did this!!

Meditation is the first place to start.  Meditation will develop focus, lift your vibrations and make it easier for those in spirit to work with you.  You can also contact your guides through meditation.

Well done on three years J.K.

I would also agree with you that we choose our "hurdles" for each life time.  Perhaps you needed to reinforce the lesson and so set it for yourself again in this life?  Maybe you completed it faster so that you could move on to other "hurdles" in your life?  I guess only your higher consciousness can answer that one for sure!!  

Doreen Virtue has done a rather lot of work on the subject of Indigo, Crystal and Rainbow children.  Doreen holds 3 university degrees in counseling psychology, and has published many books, including "the crystal children" and "the care and feeding of indigo children".

According to her research and findings most Indigo children were born from 1975 - 1995 (but not all children born through this time are Indigo children).  They tend to be strong willed, independent and can be quite bad tempered.  They tend to know when they are being lied to.  They have a lot of ideas, and often got bored at school, and yes many get misdiagnosed as ADHD.  (P.S Doreen calls ADHD "Attention Dialed to a Higher Dimension!!)

Their group mission in this lifetime is to help usher out corruption and bring in integrity.  Many of the Indigo's need to learn how to channel their anger and strong emotions into constructive things to be able to fulfill this mission.

The Crystal children are currently being born between 1995 - 2015.  They tend to have huge eyes that look right into you.  They are happy babies, artistic, affectionate, love animals, know crystals and healing without being taught, very forgiving and tend not to have a temper like the Indigo children.  They are highly telepathic and are sometimes labeled autistic due to the fact that they will often start talking "late".

Their group mission in this lifetime is to help populate the planet with peace once the Indigo's have removed the corruption.

And finally the Rainbow children.  They are said to be going to begin populating the planet from 2015 (although the occasional one has come through already).  From my understanding they will not have lived on Earth before and will therefore have no karma to have to work through.  They will be born to crystal children, and will be very similar to the crystal children in nature.

And yes, while I do agree that we tend to over label people, I also like the idea that in amongst all this anger, strife and immanent war, that there is a group of people who's purpose is to help heal our planet.

I don't know if you work with crystals at all, but I find great success with programming a piece of Amethyst to help with dream recall and leaving that on the bed side table.

Well that sounds about right to me.  I have awoken before from a conversation, similarly, and just remembered the last word spoken.  

Frustrating not to know what else was said!!

Here are my thoughts, although the best person to interpret the dream is YOU.

You have been feeling like "this is it".  That you should resign yourself to the fact that you have the best that you can in life - I guess like a glass ceiling type of thing, there is nothing more or nothing better that you can achieve.  You can see some vague kind of options, but they seem way out of reach and not really complete.  But maybe you are not looking hard enough - or not being open minded enough!  When you give it more time, more options arise - and one that does seem to be whole and maybe workable!

I think maybe you were brought back out of your dream quickly - perhaps by a guide - so that you would remember it.

I think it is very sad when people can't leave other people in peace, and especially in their own home, to celebrate whatever festival they wish.  Why can't we all just respect each other??  

Sorry, can't say I've had experiences like you've mentioned.  It does sound like you are able to sense/see energy though.

You know that you don't have to try and communicate with it through OBE don't you?  You could just try to talk to it like any other person, you just have to quite yourself and be open to receiving an answer however it comes (i.e feeling, a thought, etc)

There are quite a number of people who go through much of life trying to decide what it is that they truly believe - if there is a "God" and what his/her name might be, if there is life after death, etc etc.

Please don't get hung up on whether the bible is "real" or not.  Whether the stories are true or false, the main thing is that there are lessons in it which people can benefit from learning about.  

Don't get me wrong, I am not sticking up for the bible and all that it stands for - personally I respect all religions, and I am involved in a beautiful nature-based religion myself.  But perhaps the big deal is not what religion is right or wrong, and not what you should or shouldn't follow and believe.  Maybe the right thing for you is to choose to follow none, and enjoy the journey of finding yourself - for in finding yourself you will find the "right" belief system for you.

Relax and enjoy life!!  (that's what it is for!!)

Setting up some protective boundaries for yourself may also help relieve some of the sensitivities.  Try surrounding yourself in a bubble or egg shape of white light/energy and then surround that by purple light/energy.
I find this very effective!

Just because it appears as a black form, doesn't mean that it is horrible and means harm.  I feel like it is actually the lost soul of a child....

Has it done anything, other than appear to you?  Have you tried to talk to it?  I feel great sadness and confusion attached to it.  Perhaps it just needs help towards the light??

Guides appear as they feel you will be most comfortable.  I know people who have many animal guides who work with them, because they relate and feel most comfortable with animals.  If your guides, Leyla, are not human, well that's fine - obviously that is what works for you - but it doesn't mean no one Else's guides are human.

Guides, in their "pure" form, are energy.  They present to us in ways we may relate to, or identify with.

I am not so sure it is hereditary, I think it is really something open to all people to be able to do, should they want to tap into that inner ability.

There is not really any way to stop the fear, other than to maybe ask yourself what are you afraid of?  Our guides are nothing to be frightened of, they are beautiful beings that are here to help us in every way they can.  They are gentle and loving, like your favorite grandma!

Perhaps you could try asking your guide to help you not be so afraid - they can't do things for us without us asking for the help.  Also, when I am afraid, I often find deep breathing helps.  

Hi everyone!

Quote from James: "Most often the spirits we have around us as guides are departed loved ones"

I have to disagree with you here, James.  In my experience departed loved ones do pop in and check on us at times, but they generally are NOT in a spirit guide capacity.  Our spirit guides are at a certain level of spiritual development to be able to take on such a sacred role as a guide.  Generally our loved ones are not at such a level - they don't instantly know everything and become "enlightened" because they have crossed.

I do, however, agree with your thoughts on the American Indian guides.  There are some cultures that are further developed spiritually than others, and they seem to be choosing to come through and assist us at this time.  I think it is because there is so much strife in the world, that we need a hand to get back to a peaceful way of living.

Nikk, I agree that everyone has AT LEAST one guide that is with them throughout their life.  And yes, you can communicate with them - but you don't have to astral travel to be able to do this.

Don't be frightened that you cannot do it because the person is not there and you don't know them.  In fact, you will come to know that these are the easiest readings to do - simply because you cannot read anything into them, and can let it all come from spirit.  I mean, think about it, when you read for someone you know, how can you tell how much is coming from intuition and how much is you knowing what is going on and adding your own two cents to it?

It makes no difference how far away the person is, or that you do not know them.  If you focus on wanting to give a certain person a reading, and wanting to tune into their energy, then they (as in spirit) will make it happen for you.

Good job for having a go, despite your fears.  It is always the hardest when you are starting out.  Take it from me, having done many readings over quite a number of years, that it gets easier the more you do it!!

I think your reading might relate to a place overseas which I have been drawn to go for a long time.  I feel that it will certainly happen next year - and I feel that there a strong ties for me from past lives there.  Once I have been there, the strong pull to go may actually subside, and I'll feel satisfied and have found my answers.  Do you think this makes sense from what you got??

Hi!

For a start, I would recommend trying to stop adding fuel to the fire by constantly thinking and worrying about it.  It adds energy to the magic, which strengthens the binding.

I'm not so sure about a tie cut being the "solution".  It would probably help, but won't completely solve it.

With bindings, if the person who does the binding, doesn't regularly maintain and add to the energy of the spell, then it will fade anyway over time.  It is kind of like when you set up protection for yourself - you set it up and need to check in on it and reinforce it from time to time to maintain the strength of the protection.

As for what James has said, cords are not really involved in binding... there is a cord involved between the two parties, but you cannot cut this cord as you would a tie cut.  Definitely work on protection, and send light and love to the person doing the binding - this will always win in the end!

I'd call on Archangel Michael to help with any tie cutting you may undertake and Archangel Raphael to help with healing.

Hello again!  Back to the bear for a minute.. the one in your dream.

I think you are being given opportunities to expand your psychic awareness and are fearful of being wrong or what you might experience and so are hesitating.  You are not allowing yourself to receive the guidance from spirit that is around you - you are afraid of what you might see/hear. So you are going with that basic instinct - in the dream it is lash out and kill the bear before it might hurt you.  In your life, it is probably holding back for fear of getting it wrong.

This is obvious in the reading you have just done for me (no offense).  You aren't really saying what you think, you are just laying out possibilities and questioning yourself the whole way through the reading.  Can I ask you, what do you think the reading means?  Without worrying about whether you are right or wrong, what do you instinctual feel?

I am not trying to be mean, or nasty, I want to know what you really think.  I believe you have the right answers, and I am keen to know your thoughts on this.
