Imho ,
Anyone that would call you names like this is not one to keep emotionally attached to your heart .
remove and dispose of  items that he has given you
remove the cord from your heart with help search for cord cutting ceremony in archives and on net
move to another room or home if not cleanse the room ;
paint the room
open the windows , drawers and robe /closet each day while the sun is up
smudge it with incense and call the corners see LBRP
leave lights on in that room at night
shift the furniture especially the bed
shield the room with energy
psychic shield self with lavender ice energy to protect against psychic attack , negativity and anxiety
Imho , he has a negative attachment and  he is of a negative vibration and you need to move on with life

If you have a history of mental health issues see your doctor if not consider this could be a symptom .
I agree with others on this thread that it is likely to be both spiritual and mental . Recognise that
the mental wellbeing of someone without prior pyschiatric history can be greatly compromised by attack such as you have endured so make sure you get help whether it is of reactive or clinical nature .

Proven to not be heat, but what about electricity? Our brain DOES create electricity when we think hard.. And we are concentrating / thinking pretty hard when moving a psi-wheel..

Thoughts?

Imho , energy has diverse and subtle qualities . I like the Hermetic understanding about energies especially
*   male electric    hot  active   dry  bright  light
*female magnetic cold  passive wet  dark    heavy

I also like the Taoist alchemical perspective regarding three basic types of energies ie

moonstone shen ~watery female cool intuitive psychic
sunstone chi ~aka psi neutral to male hot bright light vital essence firey life sustaining
earthsone ching ~earth male warm dark damp regenerative , creative and sexual

notably air is missing , it is found eventually in the heavens stone which holds
female air ccol bright light and emancipatory allowing for connectivity and higher consciousness
but it is illusive and has to be manifested thru development in an aspirant whereas the three stones listed above have anciently been known to exist in all humans

Just a quick one...  Nearly all of my lucid dreams involve me meeting dead members of my family.  What does this mean? Is this normal?

Imho , this can be quite normal for those beginning mediumship . Personally , I have never met fake spirit relatives  . I feel that you have a propensity for this and should develop clairvoyant and clairaudient mediumship very quickly if you decide to pursue it . A good method of practice is to sit in circle with peers and develop meditative trance and clairvoyant readings of each other and also to practice with friends and relatives as sitters .

Have a look at the title of this thread: to anyone who has genuinely raised kundalini.

It's interesting to read theories and hypothesies, but practical experiences might be more appropriate. I guess we all raise kundalini subtly as we progress through various lifetimes, but a quick and rapid progression is probably quite rare.

I imagine there would be very few people who have achieved this.

But I have raised many flames and I have mystic alchemsist kaballahists peers who have also  . I think others that replied  have too  . What specific questions were unanswered ?

Anyone done it, how'd you do it, what was the experience like? Did both of you have full recount of the same thing afterwards?

I project several times a week with peers . We meet online to do this in one circle and we meet at home in another circle . Anyone can do this . We give off what we see and hear and feel as we go like playing a dungeon and dragons sort of game , taking turns . If the energy is high enough we see each other there in the worse cases it is like seeing in fog where you can see the hand in front of you but nothing on either side of you . But we all see the same teaching spirits , realms and get the same visions in this manner . Dr. Joshua Stone , deceased , wrote extensively about the group merkabah which is a good way for beginning circles to go to the same place . Here is a link to the development of a circle ;

I have another site called OMconnect which has a forum for Astral Projection and related subjects. The forum is free but it requires a quick registration. If you are interested in the methods / techniques for inducing astral projection and want to read about others' experiences, you should check out the forum. I'm still in the process of converting posts from the old forum I used to have here to this new forum at OMconnect (some of you may remember the old forum). There are already thousands of posts online right now that you can read, however.

[How will you explain the blood on your coat to your mother ?]

Thanks I think this is very interesting and I took a liberty to copy it giving AP and AndrewTheSinger credit
to other forums . Well Done AndrewTheSinger !


1 - Have you ever encountered more evolved beings?
a:yes
1.1-If so, describe the place:in circle , Shamballah , ashrams , Sheol /hels
what're they like:angels , archdemons , mahatma , avatars , dragon angels , elementals
what've you learned:healing,transmutation,hermetic magick,alchemy, cosmology
2 - What have you found out about life on other planets?
a:There are diverse sentient beings but they do not live in our local universe at least not within our dimension . I have seen them in ashrams and at the museum of the worlds and in circle , etc.
3 - What was the most interesting conversation you had? What did you ask/say and hear?
a:Meeting Christ , Buddha , Mary /Isis was astonishing . Meeting with Samael in hels and learning that Archdemons are obedient to the Godhead and serve a divine purpose and that only lower level demons are evil and predatious by nature attacking opportunistically . After learning this in spirit ,  I researched and learned  that the Jewish take on Satan was different than the Christian take and that the Jewish understanding was correct . Satan is a term meaning the chief prosecutor the accuser . Lucifer is a term meaning the light bringer . Christ in the Bible says he is the Lucifer . All of these are puzzling factors but seeing Samael with Christ and the principle archangels , I learned that there is a divine plan and I more is right with the universe than I had believed .
4 -  Describe 3 things/creatures that you saw there, but never saw here:
*faeries , mermaids , leprauchauns
*dragons
*Chaos elementals
5 - If you've been able to read, what did you read about? How many consecutive words do you remember?
a:I don't read well in spirit maybe 5 or 6 words tops . But I was impressed with a peer in circle who was a local male aged 19yo who knew no Latin and read a stained glass window in a spirit realm to me . The phrase was about 10 words long and was the entire sentence . I do know Latin and I was amazed because it was apt . It was a sentence, basically ;The light is conscious take the light within you and be with God .

5.1 - Have you read words you haven't seen here before?
a:yes as above
6 - Ever learned special tricks to be used there?
a:yes , in circle we learned to manifest an ashram and took people there in projection and they were able to confirm what we manifested to us without prior knowledge .
7 - Ever received a solution to a problem?
a:yes , advice on many trials and tribulations
8 - Describe the most amazing thing you saw:
The Face of Christ so clear .We often see him but we are de-sensitised because it is an image like a grainy movie unclear fuzzy and difficult to make out clearly  . One day he appeared so clearly in colour in circle with eyes opened . That does not happen much with any spirit we see , we usually have the room dim and our physical eyes closed and look thru the third eye . On this special occasion he appeared wearing a crown of thorns and bleeding . His skin was porous  . We could see him like a hologram in full size and full colour . Then he split self and came head only in front of each of us . My youngest daughter was in circle 16 yo at that time . He said a different message at the same time speaking to each of us . We could hear each other's messages too . He said to Debbie . " Must I be crucified again ?" Debbie innocently cried "no give me your crown of thorns, Lord " and she reached out and took this image and put it on her head . No eye was dry . Even the grown and seasoned old men in the group cried .
9 - Describe the most amazing thing you did:
*The first time my peers and I projected on a group merkabah and went to the Golden Chamber of Melchiezedek and saw each other standing in projection .
* Going on my first exorcism and seeing friendly spirit with eyes opened and feeling like I was floating as I moved and seeing the angels so very clearly . I felt as if I was in a movie . I was only an observer watching an expert then .
10 - Describe your most amazing validation:
Remote viewing to Poland where I have never been in this life or another as far as I can tell . An online mate came here to Australia and I went there .We saw each other's homes and confirmed or denied the findings .  Fantastic hits !
11 - Ever had your astral body malformed or defective? What was it like?
a:no
13 - Describe the 3 strangest sentences you heard:
* How will you explain the blood on your coat to your mother ?
I heard this as I was pulling my mum's coat from the closet with her permission to borrow it . Then a vision came and I saw self at a car accident . I wanted to stay home but my mum had a vision and told me to hurry I had to go save a life . We did . We heard a crash that night and arrived to see the vision played out and saved a boy from bleeding to death and held his hand because his father had passed in the accident and he was alone and distraught .

* "Bite him and run "An escaped pedophile who had been incarcerated for repeat rape and murder of children targeted me . I was clueless and innocent at 8 years old . He pulled out his penis and told me to kiss it . I honestly thought it was a space gun . I know that is stupid . But I was frightened terribly and I heard "Bite him and run " as the pervert grabbed my neck choking me trying to make me kiss it . He did not hurt me or penetrate me although he gave me nightmares for years to come . I bared my teeth and went for it and he let go . The voice screamed "run run run "and I got away .

* "Get on this bus now " I heard clearly as I was leaving work and I did not want to obey , I was tired and that bus was going in the wrong direction in heavy traffic . I reluctantly listened . Then as normal sadly for me I looked up into the empty sky seeing no one and said in my mind " now what " as sarcastically and nasty as any child ever could . I always immediately chastise myself . But the mind cannot be censored , spirit hears what we think we can't just shut up and not say it . I got no answer and pouted up . This lowers the vibration considerably . Finally I tranced and gave in asking to be shown .

I saw the hospital was the next stop and heard get off here . I did not want to be in the city alone at dark in the rain . But i did . Then I recalled a lady from my other job on campus was going into the city for an operation . So I asked if it was to see Mrs. Suit. I got confirmation and went to visit .

As I was ready to go in the room the voice said " her husband is dead " and "tell her gently ". I could not obey this lady was so old , I could make her have a stroke . I prayed . Then the phone rang and she got the news . I felt awful . So I told her I was there because God wanted her not to be alone when it happened and her daughter was coming to take us to say goodbye . I did not know that until I said it but the daughter showed up . The nurse said we could not be discharged . An angel appeared and said speak to the lady in pink . I went to the nurse wearing a pink blouse and she quickly gave us an emergency discharge and unhooked the IV . I drove with the family to see the body in another hospital local to her hometown . I felt blessed to be in the right place at the right time to help .

* I was a new driver then only 17 years old and it was dark and raining horribly . I was so scared . Suddenly a man came out of nowhere walking on the highway . I nearly killed him . I was sacred and pulled over but locked the door thinking I did not want him to run to my car and get in . The voice said . "Go back and help " . This was hard to obey . I decided to keep driving and put the car in gear to leave the area quickly .

I heard the message repeated . I said no I can't turn around here on the highway there is no space . I got miles down the road and saw a turn around and was told with a stern voice this time , go back and help . So I did .

As I approached that area the thunderstorm was letting up . There was the man I was so terrified to help . He had Downs Syndrome and he was crying . I rolled down the window and asked him if he needed help . He sobbed , " Mommy" . I got a vision of an older woman standing outside crying calling his name and I asked him if that was his name . He nodded . I asked him where mommy was . He could not talk well . He pointed to the road . I drove up and down that road seeing no one and thought I would take him to the police station . But then as I turned off the exit I saw a bowling alley like the vision and heard a woman calling his name . I was very grateful to have listened and ashamed to have been told repeatedly .

14 - Describe 3 things that you still want to try in the astral:
nada , the astral does not interest me , I get my kicks above the astral line in the higher planes .
12 - What interesting things have you found out about the Universe?
a:The cosmology of the realms , sentient beings in far distant galaxies, cosmology of the human spirit 
15 - If you believe in a God, what clues have you gotten about it's existence?
a:The pillar of Godhead at the Gates of Death has images of human faces and avatars of both genders and every race . Above this is the non corporal light that is Godhead .
16 - Ever been lectured on the process of Creation?
a:Not yet ....

what i'm wondering is why he would abruptly shut his site down without any forewarning. i mean this would have been the considerate thing to do. just before it went down he would have posts about a contest but nothing about it closing.

He wrote to many , if not all members , saying that the stress of a few made him want to take a break . There was some strife with the founders and mods and he wanted not to deal with it . At least that is what I recall from what I read . I was disappointed too . Then he sent us the new site addy without a forum . His forum was good but evidently a few rotten apples spoiled his joy in it . Forgive me if my take on that is wrong , perhaps you could write him at the new site .

Forgive me , I must not have been clear . There is a theory that after the Indigo the next generation is Octarine ( term taken from colour of magick from Terry Pratchett novels ) or crystalline or white . These theories are on various sites about indigos and post indigo generations .

But I feel that after Indigo came Purple both predictably because it is the next colour in the rainbow hued spectrum and because I have seen that in energy body readings of sitters . And I do not feel that the children born after 1996 are "ripe " yet . By this I mean that further energy body development will occur and this will show what they are truly capable of . They seem to be hot white in colour of the energy body currently .  Imho , all human beings ,despite when they were born or what gifts they were born with , are capable of developing all of the clairient abilities with dedication to task .

[Manifesting a Pillar of Light]

Manifesting a Pillar of Light

* This works best in a circle of 4 peers . Two men and two women is ideal. Sit at cardinal directions . Ideally place an air person across from earth and water across from fire .

* To determine which element a person is mostly attuned to consult Initiation into Hermetics

* Open in Protection

* Power up with energy

* Using the third eye , the will and the energy in your hands ,tug upon the energy at the ceiling about 1 meter in front of you

*visualise a vortex slowly moving from ceiling to the floor as you do , widen it, pull it open wider and further down to the floor

*Form a diamond of energy from your third eye to your heart ,
use your palms to form the sides , pass energy out of each centre
third eye ,mouth , right palm , left palm , heart , possibly navel
( do not be concerned if flow from the navel does not occur )

* Exhale with each breath from the mouth and blow this prana also into the centre .Continue with each breath to pull energy from the crown to the heart push the energy out the palms , the heart , the mouth and the third eye

*Move the left hand to the right side slowly and then repeat
Move the right hand from the centre to the right side in timing and repeat do this in rhythm with your breath so that each time that your left hand comes to the centre you breathe out into the pillar forming it more then return the left hand to your far left as the left hand comes to the centre again bring the right hand already there to your right side

*This looks like windshield wipers from \ \ to \ | to | / to / /

* Now close your eyes you should see clairvoyantly the pillarforming
It should spin slowly in a spiral one metre wide flowing from the ceiling to the floor .You should feel warm energy on your fingertips and palms and your eyes may begin to feel dry too .


A pillar is useful for manifestation , evocation , healing and projection . It is also a helpful exercise to build up the energy body and learn to see and feel energy .

Please post suggestions , questions and experiences with pillars of energy , thnaks

Hi hagethuriel, any chance that you can  describe "Shamballah"?

Shamballah is a multidimensional realm of the higher planes which is accessed by magicians according to their development . The light quotient of the human energy body continues to build up and the magician attains higher planes . Robert Monroe , Franz Bardon , Madame Blavatsky , Aleister Crowley et al  have mapped out the higher planes .

Buddha described the spiritual plane in 500 BC . Medieval kabballahists and alchemists have left many images of their mystic projections there .


Today , many projectors first come to Shamballah thru the Akashic Records on the 5th plane . The White manse that appears like the Taj Mahal is often the second place , it is in the 6th dimension. Once the 7th dimension is attained then the realm of Shamballah is easy to explore . The realms are in areas corresponding to  vibration this allows for core imagery to be very effective .

The right hand realms are mostly temples of various religions wherein projectors can learn from spiritual teachers , avatars and angels . The Golden Chamber of Melchiezedek , the ashram of Serapis Bey and the Pyramids at Luxor are typical places to begin lessons of magick initiations . Horus and Thoth are teachers there .

The River divides the right hand realm from the left . The Wesak Valley is on the River Bank . On the full moon there are festivals there and projectors from around the wolrd come to the Wesak Valley .

The Left hand realms are more like campuses than temples . The Middle Pillar Realms are great towers .
I have not seen it all . The place is huge .

There is a simple model
1d length    perimeter line
2d width     area   square
3d depth or breadth volume cube
4d time
5d space
but that is an older basal understanding  model

Newer models  have at least 11 dimensions and some argue there are more than that !
4D is globally accepted as a hypercube  mathematically .

The hypercube is not constrained in the same manner as the physical dimension . What is on the inside becomes the outside as you will see if you watch the animation loop . If you leave the home in 4 D you find self in the home again . Why ? because there is an etheric copy .

Metaphysicists readily agree that there is an Ether above each home and city but there is also a lesser known subetheric below each home and city . These are much more stable than the periphereal etheric areas which bleed into one another . Imagine for example a house . Above it there is an etheric duplicate and below it a sorta shadow incomplete one but what about the sides ? The sides are also doubled but the etheric blends and moves into the etheric of the house next door much like the aura of a person blends into the aura of others in their space .

Every realm is in the body in the heart but also on the body as a hip or shoulder for example and also outside of the body as a realm . So Kether is in the heart but above the head and above the abyss and highest plane too . The hypercube is like our body and the inside that becomes the outside is like our heart which is the home of the spirit and the pump of the energy body . Within ourselves in our deepest sanctuaray exists every realm . Robert Monroe believed that phasing was internal projection and later wrote that it was also obe . I believe he was brilliant in this regard . His truths have been confirmed by many mystics long after his death . Does our perception of the spiritual realm reflect our understanding of cosmology in general ? I think so .

The dimensions of spirit realms are at least 12 . I think that there is syncronicity in the number of dimensions in math , in spirit and the number of planets and the number of sepiroth on the Tree of Life .
ie in ancient times there was only 1 than 2 in the djet or djeds as there was only one planet known
and we were the centre of our universe . When we had 4 elements there were 4 realms on the tree and there were earth , moon , sun , stars all known to be celestial spheres and have much more in common than ancients first thought .By the time yggdrasil came along there were 9 realms .In the Hebrew tree ,there are 10 these are the seven planets known in medieval days and the sun and moon .When Daath was interpreted by Isaac there were 11 just enough for 9 planets and 2 moons

Then we added Xena but took her away when scientists said she was bigger than Pluto but smaller than many other space rocks found nearby . We also had 12 D discovered in string theory in this age .In syncronicity the 12th  sepiroth is a window that is not just hidden and controversial like Daath but it is invisible and unaccepted or unknown .

Einstein treated time as a fourth dimension lumping it in with the first 3 so that he could treat the combined space/time as one entity and then his theory of general relativity showed that curvature and space/ time was equivalent to gravity .

The hypercube is a mathematical construct of pure Geometry. It is the mathematical treatment and does not equate with relativity as Einstein expressed it .Time is not a dimension in Geometry . The hypercube has been perceived long before string theory was realised .

There are so many different theories about today . Are there 11 or 12 dimensions some say more . String theory uses 11 or more dimensions to explain all the fundamental forces of Physics .

On Nova et al
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~matc/math5.geometry/unit16/unit16.html
you will get a different slant on this then on Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_dimension

There are at least 5 different versions of string theory with up to 26 dimensions thusfar . Some of those theories do fit TIME back in the sauce , others do not . The most recent seem to include time and space again .

Imho , as the consciousness of humanity expands ,so does the universe lol . Buddha says until we are ready to receive it , we cannot possibly perceive it .

Imho , "Death "the OT of that post ,is a credible mystic . There is a realm described by Crowley as the black cube . The white cube and black cube come together forming the Infinity Gate .That is that the highest realms are on the other side of the abyss from the lowest realms . But they can come together in a loop of the realms . The place where the alpha meets the omega is the clasp of the cosmic necklace of the stones .
I feel that there is an Eternity Gate and an Infinity Gate and that the places that they join each other are sweet spots of higher magick . Think of the figure 8 which makes both signs of infinity and eternity based on the orientation . If sideways infinity if vertically eternity . Now consider the stones above the mirror and see them bend back on themselves in a loop ,as above so below , now there is a loop beneath the magician too . The stones below are manifested from the qlippoth as the ones above were manifested from the sepiroth .
The Infinity Gate is easier to reach , I have not met the Eternity Gate , but now that I know it exists , I look forward to it .

I would like to start a new topic, on what people have seen in the Astral plane. Here are a few question i have been pondering.

1. Is it solid like the Physical?

No

2.Is it no diffrent then a lucid dream.

No

3.Are there people there

Yes live projectors

4.Are there cities or buildings

in the etheric below it and in the higher planes above it , some call the Astral all of the planes non material
but I feel Astral is a middle realm having no temples like Shamballah or buildings like the etheric

Code Select Expand

5.Is it non solid always in flux
yes

6.could it be described

yes

7.is the astral another physical universe.

no

These question in my research of the subject have never really been answered.
I would like members of the forum to answer these seven questions according to their own experience>Thank You.

You're Welcome .

Why not practice evocation and call some spirits in to visit you instead  ?

[8 chakras]

I feel that as Humans Evolve Spiritually,  new chakras are perceived on the spinal chakral column .

As each individual develops , minor chakras are manifest on the human energy body in the limbs and in the subtle body layers . In the ancient past , five chakras were known .

In the Bible the 7 lamps are described though . And traditionally , esoteric wisdom dictates 7 .

purple core above scalp
indigo core at third eye
blue   core at mouth
green core at throat in centre of neck
yellow core at heart
orange core at belly button
red     core at genitalia


I can clairvoyantly see a large chakral centre when a sitter opens the mouth during a reading  .I feel that most images place the blue and green chakras too far south on the human body . The chakras appear spheroid , there light appears conic and will appear initially only on the front but will in time be clairvoyantly visible on the back and the flanks . This image has the green one on the heart and the blue one on the throat . I feel this is typical in graphic depiction but it is not accurate .


You can use a pendalum to determine where your chakras are . The pendalum should swing dramatically over the core of a chakra which is open .

It is rare today to find a human who doesn't have 7 chakras open . That does not mean that all blockages are eliminated though . Older human beings born before 1948 might have been born with only 2 or 3 chakras open and would have had to work harder to open the remaining ones .
http://ca.msnusers.com/AuntClairsParlorSpiritualReadingRoom/spiritualdevlopment.msnw

he 8th pink chakra is newly manifested. More are manifesting on those that choose to develop self spiritually and increase the light quotient of the human energy body . I believe that that there are 8 chakras on each human now and that we are beginning to develop new energy storage centres too .

The energy centres are called stones or tan tiens to feed them with energy . The three primary stones were described by medieval Hermetic alchemists and Taoist Alchemists

silver emergent
white emergent .............green heavens stone emergent



purple over the scalp .....green heavens stone emergent ~ xie spiritual energy of soul

indigo over brow centre....blue moon stone female tan tien ~ shen intuitive energy of mind
blue from nose to neck ....blue moon stone female tan tien

green from neck to heart..yellow sun stone dan tien  ~ chi vital essence of heart and spirit
yellow over heart ............yellow sun stone dan tien 

orange over belly button ...red earth stone male tan tien ~ ching sexual and generative energies of body     
red from naval to perineum red earth stone male tan tien     

pink perineum

Trancing can be interrupted by movement . Going to the toilet , leaving tissues close at hand , Sitting in a comfortable arm  chair with a comfortable temp in the room should eliminate most reasons to be distracted by the body .
Saying that , it is possible to Zen trance while moving , some do this while walking .

[Begin by sitting in a comfortable arm chair]

Why not try mystic projection then ? You can link with a core image of your choice and take the mental body in projection of consciousness to that realm . Above the 4th Astral Plane there is no strife or negativity . You should feel quite safe and unstressed there . To do this ;
Open in Protection ie LBRP or as you do
Sit in an armchair with the arms supported the palms up , limbs uncrossed
Deep Cleanse Breathe crown down to feet
Power Up drawing up energy from the feet to the crown
Enter a Light Trance
Close the Eyes
Draw attention to the Brow Centre
Visualise the core image
Project consciousness into the realm


Here is one Method to begin Meditation to Develop Clairient Abilities
Begin by sitting in a comfortable arm chair
Place your arms loosely supported on the arms of the chair and turn your palms up to catch the energy .Your limbs should be uncrossed and bare your feet ,if you can, before you close your eyes to begin .Energy will come in thru crown ,palms ,soles and heart most easily .So spread your knees slightly and uncross all limbs feet are bare if you can do it and flat on the floor .

Develop deep cleansing breath techniques
Take these deep breaths in slowly and deliberately thru your nostrils and audibly exhale the breath through your mouth .As each deep cleansing breath enters your body have it come in as white cleansing light .You might visualise a candle of light in front of your third eye if it helps .

1. Swirl energy down from the crown to head , clearing away the cobwebs of the mind.
2.Bring the swirling energy down into the hearts and lungs, breathing away all anxieties and worries.
3.Draw the energy into the arms from the heart , pool it out into each fingertip .
4.Swirl the energy into the guts where we can manifest disease from negativity , clean it all out and away .
5.Draw the energy in again in this last deep cleansing breath pull it all the way down into the legs .
Pool it into the feet and out through each toe.


Power Up
You may choose" top down" from the universe to the crown or from "earth up" thru the soles of the feet .
ie :Bring light up with each breath ,visualising the feet drawing up light from Mother Earth through the legs which are like channels .
1.Pull it up from the right and left leg at the same time . Exhale half your breath only .
2. As you inhale draw up energy to the groin , exhale only half your breath .
3.Inhale and draw the energy up through your heart , exhaling half your breath only .
4.Inhale and push the energy down through your arms , seeing it flow from each fingertip. Exhale half your breath.
5.Inhale and bring it up to the shoulders . Visualise the dragon head erupting now from your shoulders. Release it and exhale half your breath .
6. Pull the energy finally up to your crown and fully release your breath .

Now you may become aware of feeling lighter ,happier ,healthier . You may feel tingling buzzing or warmth running up thru your limbs .Or you might feel energy inside  the limbs and in the palms of your hand .

Dwell in the power of the now in the chamber of the soul's eye
Close your eyes and take your consciousness to your third eye. Go to your forehead and sit in this chamber in the power of the now and if a thought about the physical life or the day drifts in ,observe it briefly and let it go .Sit in the power of the now .Nothing else matters .
Sit routinely
Try to sit at the same time in the same chair daily.Sit for 15 minutes and build up from there .
Close giving thanks to the spirit guides and angels who came to help you
Record your meditation in a journal immediately
Colours develop over time like dream qualities so a newbie may open to a vision  like black and white tv.So at first it may seem a gray oval stretching horizontally with black and white shapes .This will often become an indigo oval with sapphire shapes .Then it will commonly become purple and then you will see in fullscreen streaming colours.Some begin seeing in colours right away . It is like dreaming , we all do it but some never recall one whilst others have lucid dreams in full colour and 3D streaming develops over time too . So at first you may get one message like " I saw a flower" then streams like " i saw an old man holding a red rose ".Then you learn to interpret meditation visions much as we do dream imageray and you might say "I feel this is your grandfather ".Eventually you will get multiple streams ,when this occurs it is time to look to the spirit  teachers that will arrive for lessons ."Knock and the door will be open to you ""When the student is ready the teacher arrives "

[The Crow]

The crow and raven are powerful totems in many cultures ie Native American and Celtic . I greet and speak to crows when they appear before me and tune in to hear the answer in a vision .

The best site I find on the net is Lin's Domain for totemic wisdoms .

Keeper of the Sacred Law

Crows are the keepers of the Sacred Law
and to have a Crow totem is very powerful.

Personal Integrity are your watchwords
and your guide in Life.
If you have a Crow totem, your prime path
is to be mindful of your opinions and actions.
You must be willing to walk your talk,
to speak your truth and to know your life's mission.

Crow is a omen of Change.
Crow lives in the void and has no sense of time,
therefore, it sees past, present and future simultaneously.
Crow merges both light and dark, both inner and outer.
It is the totem of the Great Spirit
and must be respected as such.

They are symbols of creation and spiritual strength.
Look for opportunities to create and manifest the magic of life.
Crows are messengers calling to us
about the creation and magic that is alive in the world today
and available to us.

Can anyone recommend a way for me to get in touch with my spirit guide? Sometimes, when I'm projecting, I'll ask for help. I usually don't seem to be given any help, but the last time I asked for help, I did think I made some progress, so I wondered if my guide might have responded.

But what I'd really like is to actually hear my spirit guide speak to me. How do people contact them?

I think meditation is the best way . Using pendalums , tarot and dream journals also helps . Here is more ;

I have been interested in astral travel, metaphysics andthese kinds of things for a long time. The thing is I haven't developed any skill. Just thinking that I can do this is very exciting , I don't know it is like a vast world of things we already have but need to develop. I don't where to start from and I need help, I don't wish to just develop abilities in one area but in most if it is possible. What should I start with or how can I? If you please, send me limks to helpful websites or write your own commentaries. Thank You in advance for those who help.

Imho , all begins with energy .
Initially  I suggest ;
*reading a lot , searching the archives here , reading ebooks , asking questions .
*energy exercises to deep cleanse and power up and develop the human energy body
* meditation
* a dream journal and working on dream recall, recording and analysis

Subsequent to the Basics ;
* standing in your own truth and establishing your unique pathworking
* learn discernment
* learn protection
* learn healing
* learn projection
* practice reading others in your own style ie psychic , clairvoyant , tarot divination etcetera

Imho , indigo is a wave of high vibration lending itself to clairient development that occurred to some children born between 1948 and 1980 . I feel that subsequent to that era higher vibrations have occurred and that  from 1980 to 1996 for example a number of children were born to a higher purple vibration . Googling you will find that some believe crystal and octarine ( borrowed from Terry Pratchett's  colour of magick ) are higher vibrations . I believe that humanity is slowly progressing and spiritually evolving in this manner .

I use a pendulum form time to time, and my institute teach the use of them as part of psychic development.

Hi James S what institute is that please ?

Basically they're only an indication tool. They can be used to get yes/no/maybey answers direct from your subconscious, or they can be used do dowse energies, such as using them to check the energy flow of a person's chakras.

I agree .

My fave pendalum is a long crystal from my great grandmother that was a prism on a crystal lamp . I suspend it with fishing line over the open palm to ask 'yes' and 'no' questions . The body can act as a pendalum while standing too . It is awesome to find self gently nudged forward or side to side , lol .

I open in protection
power up
call in your highest source
place the pendalum over an open palm
ask for a "yes" sign typically this is top to bottom
confirm the "yes" sign
ask for a "no" sign  this varies and may be side to side or the cessation of movement for example
confirm the "no" sign
ask one clear question which can be anwered with a "yes" or a "no "

When I was a little girl I would put my brow centre to my sister's brow centre and say look into my eyes and I will look into yours . We would think and dream to each other . We performed soul rescues for dead Vietnam soldiers . We saw prophetic visions having to do with family events . I too , wonder how little children recall to do this so innocently without instruction . I lament that adults often tell kids that they cannot do these things , that there are no lovely friends with whom we fly at night like Peter Pan and that we cannot go see dead relatives we miss . I feel we limit human potential when we tell kids what is impossible . We should try instead to let them show us what is possible .
