We still have a lot to learn about spiritual forces and their influence on us, including concepts like energy, psychic experiences, and higher consciousness. I don’t believe science will ever prove the existence of God, the Creator, divinity, or heaven. Nor do I think it can explain the full range of heavenly or miraculous experiences that manifest in the physical world. But I could be wrong.
Perhaps we’ll understand spirituality and miracles in the future, just like how far technology has come since ancient times. Imagine handing a cell phone to someone whose only tools are sticks and rocks. Picture their reaction as they see moving images, hear music, and scroll through photographs.
They would likely believe it was magic. They might see me as someone capable of miracles. Some might respond with awe, others with fear, but a few would be curious enough to want to learn how to use it. They could learn to operate it without ever grasping the technology behind it. To them, it would still seem miraculous, because the true mechanics of the tool are far beyond their current frame of reference. Yet the ability to use it would be right there in their hands.
They would try to describe it in their own terms, connecting it to what they already knew, even if their understanding wasn’t perfect. That might be exactly where we are today with our understanding of the spiritual.
To many, heaven seems like a fantasy. People dismiss miracles as coincidence. People ridicule belief in God, treating it like something only children or the naïve still cling to. The common scientific method struggles to define the notion of nonphysical consciousness. And yet, many are curious enough to learn how to work with these forces, even if they can’t explain them.
Science is poking around the edges of what spiritual people have known all along. People who have almost died have shared clear memories, meetings with others, or a sense of peace, even when their bodies were shutting down. Researchers have shown that meditation changes the brain in measurable ways. Studies of things like energy healing and prayer are happening, though still treated with skepticism.
None of it proves God exists, but it shows consciousness might not be limited to the brain—and that something real is happening when we connect with higher states. Just because we can’t fully explain it doesn’t mean it isn’t real. We might not have discovered all the possibilities yet.
I don’t believe we’ve scientifically figured out anything meaningful about the other worlds, realms, and dimensions that humans can access to create better lives. But spiritual people, psychics, seers, and mystics have learned how to work with them. They may not fully understand the source of what they’re tapping into, and they may face ridicule for trying, but they know how to use it.
Personally, I have no interest in waiting for science to confirm what I already experience. I’d rather focus on using what I can access now. I continue to learn how to apply these unseen forces every day to improve my life and to help others do the same.

When the Light obliterates darkness; only Truth remains.
All we truly have is the Light, the inner knowing that quietly reveals the truth of who we are. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t demand. It simply is. And continues, steady and radiant beneath all the noise.
Trusting ourselves, really trusting that inner Light, is perhaps the greatest challenge for a soul abused, wounded, or silenced. Especially for the sensitive, the empathic, and the spiritually open. Reclaiming that trust is revolutionary, especially when others taught you to doubt your truth in favor of their illusions.
But now is the time. Now we are called to trust ourselves more than we trust the projections of a world built on distortion. We must see through the glamor of those profiting from our confusion and return to what is quietly, eternally real.
There is immense power in claiming who you authentically are, without apology and without spiraling into doubt. Don’t lean on someone else’s vision of you. Don’t shrink to fit the frame they offer. Being authentic is not just about revealing yourself to the world; it’s about facing and embracing all parts of who you are — every shadow, every brilliance, every truth.
And as you accept yourself, as you see yourself clearly, your Light grows. It brightens. It strengthens.
Because you are the Light.
The gift of the Light is that it reveals the Truth.
As a divine being radiating into the world, you are the flame that exposes what cannot survive in the open. Corruption, greed, and deception — these forces thrive in darkness. But the Light dissolves what is false. It brings clarity, and with it, liberation.
When you focus on your light, you see your power. The greatest power you possess is your authenticity. To be true to yourself is not a minor act; it is a force that awakens the heart of humanity. That Light, your Light, is infectious. It inspires others to look within, to remember.
People have taught us to believe lies instead of our own intuition. And here’s the miracle: the Truth doesn’t need your belief to be real. Air doesn’t need you to believe it exists to fill your lungs. The sunlight doesn’t ask for worship to rise each day. The oak tree and the river don’t need your permission to exist.
Truth is the same. It exists without defense, without justification. It needs no champion, no cause, no temple, nor savior. It simply is.
Lies require effort. People must uphold, repeat, believe, and reinforce lies. But Truth stands on its own. It always has. It always will.
Once we see the Truth, nothing can hide it from the world.
Return to the Light within you. Trust it to always show you the Truth. Let it guide you home; not to what the world says you should be, but to what you’ve always been.

In a world where misinformation is rampant, spiritual teachers can be compromised, and religions seem out of touch, having insight and guidance you can trust above all others is imperative. To get the guidance we seek, spiritual people need to have a deep and clear connection to their Spirit Guides.
Spirit Guides are beings of infinite love and wisdom who only desire to help you with anything you wish. You can build upon your connection to them with some practice, patience and a very bit of discipline. Through these things, you can build a connection with Spirit you can trust.
The most important thing to remember is that you can do this no matter how psychic or spiritual you are, what beliefs you hold, or how you live your life.
You do not have to be sensitive, devotional or even spiritual to get the gifts of wisdom, insight, and protection Spirit Guides offer.
I’ve spent 20+ years teaching people how to understand the ways to receive spiritual guidance from their very own teacher. Early in my journey, I learned with books and a few human teachers until the day my Spirit Guides gently yet firmly redirected me. They told me from that point on that they would be my only teachers. Since that moment, every insight I’ve shared and every word I’ve written has flowed from their wisdom.
You may have wondered whether you’ve truly felt your Guides’ presence. Perhaps you’ve questioned if that fleeting warmth or sudden knowing was real or just imagination. Spirit communicates in ways we can learn to recognize. One of the most immediate and verifiable ways to get their message is through the wisdom of the body.
The Body as a Sacred Receiver
One can doubt thoughts. One can dismiss visions. But when Spirit touches the physical body, the experience carries a weight that bypasses the skeptical mind. A tingle along the skin, a pressure at the crown of the head, or a wave of warmth in the chest. These are the signals that show the presence of the unseen.
I remember the first time my Guides made their presence undeniably known. A light tickle brushed my cheek as if a feather had grazed it. No breeze stirred the room. No physical cause explained it. In that moment, I understood this was their language, their way of saying, “We are here.”
An Invitation to Direct Experience
To begin with, find a quiet space where you can sit comfortably. Close your eyes and breathe deeply, allowing your awareness to settle into your body. There is no need to strain or force anything. Arrive in the stillness and focus on how your body feels at the moment.
Then, inwardly, speak to your Spirit Guide. Focus on just one Guide to keep the energy clear. Ask silently or aloud, “I ask my Guide and only my Guide to give me a physical sign of your presence. Let me feel you are with me now.”
After making your request, return your focus to your body. Resist the urge to analyze or expect. You could experience subtle pressure, warmth, or a wave of positive emotion.
If the signal feels faint, ask again for greater clarity. If it feels overwhelming, request gentleness. This is a conversation you take part in.
If you felt nothing, you still made progress. Even if nothing arises today, you have opened the way. Offer gratitude. End every attempt at connection with gratitude.
Why Gratitude Matters
Gratitude is the bridge that strengthens connection. Even when the senses seem silent, the energy of appreciation opens the way for deeper communion later.
Some people receive unmistakable physical confirmation on their first try. Others feel nothing they notice. Noticing Spirit’s touch can be hard, especially if you’re not used to paying attention to subtle sensations; it takes practice. Be patient. The more you engage in this way, the more attuned you will become.
The Path Forward
This simple exercise is a doorway. Once you learn to recognize your Guide’s energetic signature, you will notice their presence in other ways. You may see their hand in synchronicities, feel them in intuitive nudges, or know them in that quiet certainty that arises when you least expect it.
Remember that the most important teacher is already with you. You need only learn their language.

Let it happen. Follow that soft voice of intuition. Give yourself the gift of delicious moments of reflection to wake up the slumbering wisdom within.
The doubts flood your mind. So loud, so insistent. The mind screams but the certainty of intuition whispers. These whispers are so soft you don’t even notice them. Quiet insights differ from the constant mental chatter that blocks your wisdom.
Giving your thoughts a bit of rest, just a little breathing room, will help allow your intuition to have a moment to be noticed. Meditation is unnecessary, nor is any kind of formal or structured practice. Taking the time to be settled within awakens intuition. Being quiet for just a minute. Be quiet, any place and under any circumstance. One minute of quiet to relax the anxiousness of the mind. One minute of peace to allow yourself to connect with your inner being.
Your mental chaos will always be there. You can give it a break for a minute. When you do that, you can listen to your soul. Intuition is the wisdom of the soul. Intuition is the sweet whisper from the one who knows all you have been through. It remembers things you do not. The entire journey of your soul throughout the ages and into the future. All you have done in ancient times, in various realities, throughout the history of the universe. Your soul is an ancient being of light, experiencing all that is extraordinary about this world. While it remembers your connection to the stars, to distant planets, and ancient civilizations. And most profoundly, your soul knows your connection to the Earth and the Divine.
Intuition is your warning system, sensing when things do not feel right or safe. It knows when you should take a different route, avoid certain places to steer you away from harm. Intuition also reminds you of what you need to do for your well-being. It tells you when you should reach out to others and even shows you the future.
Your intuition is the most accurate predictor and advisor you’ll ever find. No technology available now or in the future can match that.
Taking a moment of quiet is like opening the door and inviting your intuition in. Perhaps you have ignored it, doubted it, or shunned it until now. Be patient. It may be shy and take some continued efforts of quiet to walk through that door and know it is welcome. It is worth however long it takes. A minute of peace, silence, or quiet every so often encourages your wisdom to share what it knows.
Once that happens, life becomes extraordinary.

For me, spirituality has nothing to do with God, or devotion, or being of service. Instead, it is about being the most authentic version of myself.
The ‘me’ without the pain of traumas or triggers. The ‘me’ free from the mistakes of my past. The ‘me’ without concern about or censure from others and how they view me.
My spirituality teaches me to be who I am without apology or fear of being punished by those who disapprove. For this reason, spirituality has given me freedom in its truest sense.
No matter what happens in my life, I am free to be me. The joy of that freedom is a thread that runs through me and is always present.
My spiritual path is a spiraling inward journey; it plunges me deep into my soul, freeing what’s held captive. To me, spirituality has been my savior, my liberator and my way out of the self-inflicted torture of the mind.
My mind held me captive by using judgment, fear, guilt, and shame. These have kept my heart and the truth of who I am subjugated in thrall. Unable to express myself and even fearing knowing myself, I held my heart at bay.
I grew to fear my power, my knowing, and my soul. My first step on my spiritual path was to get to know my heart. And later I understood that the heart, in its true wisdom, is a portal to the soul and the soul connects to Divinity.
Once my soul awakened, the heavens opened, and I got to know my authentic self. Truth was not a painful experience filled with trauma and fear. My heart had wisdom I previously ignored. And when the Grace of Divinity guides the way, the path is clear.
The treasures within are abundant and still being discovered. Yet now that I may have access to Love, Truth and Grace I can find as many gifts as I wish.

If you want to go deeper to discover more about these complex and multi-faceted teachings, please consider joining our upcoming class. I am leading a 16-week course. Each four weeks will highlight practices, lessons and discussions on how to live daily life with each divine aspect.
This is an interactive, LIVE, on-line, and open discussion course for spiritual seekers of all beliefs and experience.
As Above So Below, The Gifts of Heaven are the Birthright of Humanity
We need not be religious or spiritual; we need not believe in God, and we need not be without sin to receive the gifts that bless this world.
Creativity, Grace, Truth and Love are available to us all, just as is life itself. The idea of Heaven on Earth has been a faraway dream. It has only been a promise made in prophecy, or a wish of our spiritual teachers and ministers, with no hope of seeing it in our lifetimes.
But we already have the gifts of Heaven on Earth. We need only learn how to incorporate them into our reality and have the desire to do so.
There are four primary aspects of divinity, or Heaven, that we can work with to have the life we desire.
The first divine aspect is Creation. The Divine Being, the power that rules the Heavens, created All That Is. A non-physical consciousness created all the physical world, whatever you believe that to be. Creation is not only the power of divinity to create life, but a gift from heaven given to humanity. To live is to create. With every breath, we create our world. Our world reflects our beliefs, our soul’s desires, and our wishes. For those who love to make new things, art, inventions, cooking and such, the act of creation is a feeling of connection with Spirit and our soul. It feels great to create because it is a natural expression of our own divine nature.
Through creativity, we are bringing Heaven to Earth and incorporating the power of divinity.
The second divine aspect is Truth. In the heavenly realms, there is no illusion. Illusion creates fear, anxiety, worry and so on. Illusion clouds our senses and obstructs the Truth from coming to light. When a sensitive person is being lied to, they will feel confused, and it is hard to see past that feeling of confusion. This makes manipulation effective.
Confusion is like a blockade to getting to what is real. The psychically attuned can feel frustrated by this but still not be able to see through the chaos of confusion. Lies are the tool of those seeking power over others and can be a destructive force for the world. But once the Truth comes to light, we feel relief, even it if its painful relief, and healing can begin. The Truth always heals. Seek the Truth and you will find healing.
Spirit has taught me that to know the Truth one must speak the truth. I have found this to be the easiest way to get more insight into the world around me. By always speaking the truth, I can get to know the Truth of my personal life and universal Truths that guide us all.
But there are two caveats to this simple practice. One is that not all truths need to be shared with the world. We must hold Truth to be sacred and trust that it will become revealed to others when the time is right.
Learning things others don’t know is for personal benefit. We will receive guidance to share knowledge when it benefits others. Until then, hold the Truth as a sacred honor and keep it private.
Honor the Truth and more will become known to you.
The second caveat is that when lying is for protection, it will not influence your ability to know the Truth. People often lie to protect themselves from harm or dangerous situations. If you lied about something, ask yourself why you did it. Then examine your reasons to see if it is for protection, and make sure it is not for manipulation or another reason.
Be very clear and self-aware about your reasons for lying.
The third divine aspect is Love. When love is present in what we do, what we manifest and what we wish for, then it is life-affirming and will bring happiness. Love powers the motor that keeps the world turning. Doing things for reasons other than love can create a toxic or destructive existence. For example, ask yourself why you are doing what you are doing. You can start with big questions like why you chose the profession you chose, or why you married the person you married.
These questions can help you see your intentions and then you can reflect on how it turned out for you. Sometimes people can fool themselves into believing they are marrying for love when in fact they are marrying for status, convenience or because they think they are doing the right thing. It can be not until the marriage is over that they see the real reason they did it. If it is a reason that is other than Love, then that could be the reason the union was on a destructive path.
Before you make a life-changing decision, ask yourself if it really is because you would love to do it, and for no other reason. If you seek to be an artist because you love creative expression, it will bless your life in extraordinary ways. But if you seek to be an artist because you want recognition, fame or status, then it will be detrimental to your well-being and your life.
Be aware of why you are doing what you are doing so that you make choices based on Love.
The final divine aspect I will add here is Grace. Grace is a power that exalts all who practice it. Grace brings peace and harmony to the world, but it is a mysterious energy. From the perspective of the Heavens, it means that punishment does not exist. There is no karma outside the physical realms. There is only Grace. When we are in a state of Grace, we do not need revenge, drama, or chaos. Grace perfectly aligns us with All That Is. Through Grace we are in sync with the heartbeat of creation; we are in harmony with nature, and at peace with all of humanity. To get to a state of Grace, we can embrace acceptance and forgiveness. But does that mean we need to accept and forgive all the wrongs done to us from abusers? Or overcome our dysfunctional familial relationships? Or heal from our traumas? No, we do not need to become as unconditional as heavenly beings to have Grace in our lives.
We only need to keep this practice self-focused.
Give yourself Grace.
Give yourself Grace for all your shortcomings, all your mistakes, all your regrets and even all the harm you may have caused. Sit in solitude and let go of all the things you think are wrong with you. Then forgive yourself for having them. Forgive yourself for relationship failures. Forgive yourself for not doing more for a person who crossed. Forgive yourself for not being a better parent or child. Forgive yourself.
For those with an active conscience, punishment comes from within. Self-imposed punishment creates a life unfulfilled of its potential. One always holds back for fear of making more mistakes that will lead to more regrets, guilt, and shame. Grace lifts us out of this fear and takes us into places that we could barely allow ourselves to dream of.
Grace is our birthright, and Grace only requires that we accept and forgive ourselves.
The practice of using these aspects is as simple as being aware and taking some time to consider them. Bring these things to mind as you meditate, or take a drive, as you go for your daily walk, or simply sit in the moment’s quiet. With a bit of time, practice, and awareness, your life, in body, mind, and heart, will incorporate the power of Heaven on Earth.

Science can explore the wonders of the universe, why can’t it prove the afterlife is real?
Science unlocks the mysteries of the wonders of the world. Scientific minds explore the universe to find cures for all that ails us and have the answers to all that confounds us. Even more importantly, scientific discoveries guide us into a future of possibilities. Science makes the physical world less of a mystery and more of a partner as humanity grows to fulfill its potential.
But there is one thing science cannot discover; no matter how earnestly it looks. And no matter how advanced the tools are, science will never prove that Spirit exists. It cannot prove the existence of an afterlife, the soul, God, or Spirit. That is not within its power.
Science will search to the edges of the universe and never find God.
Why not?
Spirit lives in the non-physical world, known as the metaphysical world, where science cannot reach. Spirit dwells in a place where the tools of physical sciences are useless. Only the hearts of seekers, mystics, seers, and casually curious individuals like you can unveil the realm of Spirit.
One must seek proof of Spirit through one’s own heart. Your connection to all that is metaphysical is through the portal known as the heart.
Getting to know your own heart is getting to know what science cannot. Within the heart is where the soul communicates with our mind. Within the heart is where we connect to our intuition. Within the heart, Divinity meets our being. We need not be pure, ascended, or awakened to know God, Divinity or Spirit.
Through a simple technique, we can find the Divine within and discover that which science shall never see. We are never without the guidance we seek. We only need to sit still for a moment to receive the wisdom of the Divine mind. I offer here a short meditation practice to open the connection between your heart and your mind. This will open a way for Divinity to make itself known to you. It will take time and patience. I find doing this a few times a week is effective. Yet, you can do it every day if you like.
Take a moment to get comfortable. Then settle and center your energy by taking three long deep breaths in the nose and following with a long exhale out of the mouth. People commonly refer to these as cleansing breaths. Then, with your eyes closed, start circular breathing, in and out of the nose in a gentle rhythm. Tune in to how that feels. Take a moment to check the comfort of your body and watch the natural rhythm of your breath. Once you feel settled, notice how your heart feels.
Tune in to your emotional body, your heart, by checking with your heart center. To do this, you can imagine a light at the center of your chest or place a hand on your chest to focus your attention there. If it feels unsettled, take a moment to focus on peace.
Giving attention to the feeling of peace calms your energy so you can have a clear connection. If you have trouble getting a sense of peace in your heart, wait a few moments and do some gentle breathing in and out of your nose. If you still feel unsettled, compete the meditation and try again the next day. Each day, it will become easier with a bit of patience and practice.
If you can feel the peace of the heart center, sit for a moment with it. It feels wonderful to be in the presence of peace. Take as long as you like here.
Now that you have peace, you can ask a question. Ask your heart a question about what is troubling you, what worries you, or for help with what is frustrating you. You can ask a question such as, “what can I do about my job?” Then sit for a moment, just waiting. Do not think of an answer. Be present with the question and just wait. Be in silence to allow for the answer to appear or emerge. It could come as a feeling, a nudge, an image or a color. It could even come as a thought or a phrase. The important thing is to allow it to come without cluttering your mind with guesses.
You can ask any type of question you like. The only rule is that your question is about you, not another. Asking if someone else will do something or what they are thinking causes trouble for reasons I will not get in to here. Keep the focus on getting wisdom, help and guidance for you and only you. This is a moment for your benefit.
Once you ask, sit and wait for about a minute. After a minute, complete the meditation by taking a deep breath in through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Then make a note of what came in and go on with your day.
The important thing about this meditation is doing this meditation. Even if you got nothing, it still worked. You opened a path to wisdom. The answers may come later in the day, in a dream, or while you are doing a rote task. Over time, the answers will become easier, clearer, and you may not even need to do the meditation to get them. Being patient with this practice and disciplined enough to devote a few times a week to it is all you need.
Know that Spirit is not loud. The loud, insistent voice in your mind comes from the ego. The knowledge of the Divine mind you were born with awakens in subtle ways. It is a wisp of a thought, a nudge, or a gentle feeling. The way of Spirit is always quiet.
Science is not the tool for spiritual exploration, but spiritual seekers do not need it as proof of God. We only need to get to know our own heart to know Divinity. Once we do this, many more miraculous discoveries await.

We love a bit of spooky in our lives. If we believe in ghosts, this time of year can be exciting. It is fun to think there may be things we cannot explain; that the supernatural is alive and well.
Belief plays a big role in how we perceive the unseen worlds and etheric beings. For those who do not believe in ghosts, it is unlikely they will have encounters with them. Yet, many of us do believe and have had many experiences with ghosts. Our belief does not just affect howwe see them. Ghosts respond to us how we expect them to behave. In other words, how I believe in them makes a vast difference to how they interact with me too.
Through my supernatural experiences, I have learned how they operate, including what ghosts can and cannot do. What I offer here is a quick safety guide to help you have a happy Halloween while seeking spooky fun and enjoying some thrills with safety in mind.
If you attend a séance or tour a haunted location, I say go for it but first prepare yourself with knowledge. Below, I list some common misconceptions about ghosts. As you go over this, check in with your own belief system to see if you can accept these insights. If you can accept the answers below you have a great deal of protection already!
1. Can ghosts kill you?
The short answer is no, not under any circumstances. The long answer is no because that would be murder, and murder causes a karmic bond. One must be living to create a karmic bond.
2. Can ghosts harm you?
Yes. But, believe it or not, they can only hurt you with your permission. You must believe they can hurt you for harm to be done. Believing they can hurt you is giving them permission to do so.
3. Can ghosts attach themselves to you?
Yes. If they feel they can get energy from you, they will want to be around you 24/7. This constant hovering feels draining and means they are unusually attracted to you.
4. Why do ghosts want energy from you?
It empowers them. It is the bread that feeds their existence. The best source of energy is simply your attention. Trying to communicate with them. Wanting to know more about them. Your pity, desire to help, or simple curiosity feeds them to the point of never wanting to leave you.
Their other source of energy is your fear. If they can make you afraid, it is like a booster pack of fuel for their existence. If you are afraid, it gives them enough power to move objects even to the point of throwing them, slamming doors and creating actual damage in your space.
5. Are ghosts always strangers?
Not always. Moved objects and lights flickering can be from visiting relatives stopping by for a moment. But if it goes on frequently over time and makes you afraid, frustrated or annoyed, it may be an entity only interested in your energy.
6. What is so bad about giving them energy?
It lowers our energy levels.
When our energy levels are low, we become more vulnerable to various illnesses like cancer, fatigue syndromes, colds, and viruses. We are even more likely to have clumsiness and brain fog that can lead to accidents and severe injuries. I know people who live with ghosts and have had many bouts with the above-listed problems. Still, they insist on not getting rid of the resident ghost attached to them. It can be a very sad situation.
The ghost may not kill them, but allowing a ghost to live with them might, over time, cause a shorter life.
7. How can you protect yourself from a ghost?
a) A big part of your protection is simply your beliefs about ghosts.
If you feel ghosts can control you and your space, it’s nearly impossible to protect yourself. Shift that belief by reminding yourself that this physical world and all the things in it are humanity’s domain. Non-physical beings cannot be here without our permission, belief, or request. If you own your space with dominance they will not be empowered to stick around.
b) Know to your core that it is your space, your life, and your will. That will keep you clear from ghosts. If you get a sense of an entity near you, all you need to do is say “get out” or “go away” and it must leave. Mean it, though. If you are just saying it to see if it works, then it won’t work. Mean it with aggressive energy as though you are protecting a precious person from a very dangerous predator. You are protecting a precious person, yourself! You do not need to know why it is there, what it wants, or if you can help it. That is not your job. It would most likely lie, even if you could get a story from it. There is no point in getting to know a ghost. It has nothing to offer you.
c) If you’re still feeling uneasy after telling it to go away, try clearing the space. There are many ways to do this with sage, salt water, holy water, chants and so on. You can look many up on YouTube.
I prefer simplicity. I live in a very haunted town. Occasionally, an entity passes through my space. It typically happens at night when I am already comfortable in bed. Instead of getting out of bed, I will tell it to “get out,” not loudly, but I mean it with the force of all my will. Then I will ask Archangel Michael to take it away and protect my space from any and all uninvited interlopers, entities and beings and protect me from those beings who do not support me in love. Simple. It works every time.
You can always do a weekly clearing and protection ceremony to keep things clear if you feel called.
Think of ghosts, not as people but as entities who are energy vampires. Personally, I am not called to help them, tune in to them or investigate them. I know ceremonies that can help them to the other side and have done them for property owners who have a difficult time with them. But those ceremonies are not useful if the property owner has any attachment to having a ghost or feels they have no agency over them.
Before clearing non-physical beings from a place, make sure you get permission from the property owner or the land’s spirit guardians. Otherwise, you’re just cosplaying a ghostbuster and will not work at all.
Prior to going to a place or event where spirits are invited or already present, utilize your spiritual practices for protection. You should do whatever spiritual practices you are comfortable with. These are things such as prayer, meditation, smudging, or more.
Knowing you have the power over these entities, and utilizing the messages here, will help protect you whenever you feel afraid ghosts might be nearby.

Building communication and connection to Spirit can be a joyful experience!
I woke up at exactly 5:55am. Normally it would be an irritation to be awoken 5 minutes before my alarm went off, but on this day, it made me smile.
Let me explain.
It was the answer to a prayer. I had been working on connecting with Spirit. I read books on channeling Spirit Guides and Angels, and I read channeled materials from all the well-known psychic mediums. It seemed my desire to channel was out of reach because I didn’t have the ‘gift’. I practiced and prayed, and I got nothing.
Spirit Guides were an enigma to me, yet there wasn’t a time when I didn’t believe in their existence. It made sense to me that God wouldn’t send us to Earth without backup. I thought of them as beings who helped God make things easier for us. I knew they gave us protection and helped soothe us, but the most important gift they gave us is to remind us we are never alone.
This I knew in my heart as the foundational Truth of my soul.
I felt if I could get messages from them, my life would be so much easier. With hearing their wisdom, getting their insight and filled with their inspiration, my life would fall into place with ease. So, I set out on a quest to channel my Spirit Guide with the determination of one obsessed. I had the passion, the fortitude and the drive to make it happen. But, with no knowledge of how they operate or what they could do, naturally, I spent most of the time making all the mistakes of one unfamiliar with the ways of Spirit.
I became a master of how not to channel Spirit. I needed a break.
After taking a step back, I evaluated my intentions, let go of preconceived notions and other people’s beliefs. Then I finally got on the right track. The mysterious world of Spirit began to slowly and purposefully open before me. This happened because instead of beating myself up for not hearing them, not seeing them and not getting a message, I decided to ask them for favors.
I asked for things that would help me know they were there. I wanted to be sure that what I knew to be true was Truth. That is why I asked them to wake me up 5 minutes before my alarm when off. I made the ask of them before I went to sleep the night before. I spoke a silent prayer to my Spirit Guide and ONLY my Spirit Guide to wake me up 5 minutes before my alarm went off. When it happened, waking up to my clock at 5:55 was magical.
I was so happy and encouraged! I asked for more and more gifts, mundane and energetic. Asking for gifts of all types and interacting with Spirit on this playful level helped me to relax and receive more from them. Over time, I could communicate with them to the point of becoming an expert channel.
Through my journey of these and more powerful discoveries, they have taught me how they can help us and all the ways in which they can never help us. I have learned their Sacred Laws, their divine perspective, and what it is like in their heavenly world.
It is time to share all of it!
But first, I offer you a challenge. Ask them to wake you up a few minutes before your alarm is set. Be sure to be specific. Ask for your Spirit Guide and ONLY your Spirit Guide to wake you up at a specific time or 5 minutes before your alarm goes off. You need to ask specifically for your Spirit Guide to do this so that no other being or entity interferes with this process. Those of you sensitive to supernatural activity are especially in need of this intention to be clear. We don’t want any negative energy to answer the call to wake you. You only want the divine being known as your Spirit Guide to do this.
What if it doesn’t work? No problem. Think of this as an experiment. If it doesn’t work, ask again the next night. If it still doesn’t work, evaluate your beliefs. If you do not at least think there is a possibility that Spirit can do this, then it may not work. The reason being is that your Spirit Guide honors your beliefs and will do nothing to override what you believe to be true. It is part of the Sacred Laws I mentioned above. Aside from your beliefs, there are other reasons it may not work.

I always thought a lot about spirituality, although I did not grow up in a religious household or regularly attend a church. I admired those who devoted themselves to their beliefs. The praying nun, the meditating monk, and all those who cloistered themselves in silence to hear the divine. I felt they had access to a mystery that was out of reach for me. A mystery I could never learn about or be a part of.
I felt there had to be another path to divine wisdom. Another way to access the esoteric mysteries that held the Truth. One that would not require giving up my entire mundane life and moving into an ashram. In mid-life, this curiosity led me down the path of awakening. I became involved in a Wiccan community, where I took part in inclusive and dynamic spiritual events, classes, and ceremonies. It suited me well. Through these things I was awakening, although I didn’t know it.
Awakening is unique to all who experience it, yet I notice a pattern. The process starts with the rejection of a long-held belief and embracing the potential of all other possibilities. It can come as a sudden realization or a gradual disillusionment. It can shatter one’s world or create the first steps on a long journey of change.
But no matter how it manifests in one’s life, awakening is a quest to seek the Truth.
Whether awakening starts as an “ah-ha” moment or a long discovery, it gets complicated from there. Awakening is a peek behind the veil of illusion. But for those who are not ready for it, untrained in self-awareness techniques, or have unexplored trauma, this can cause chaos and even more illusion. If you awaken without being aware of yourself, it can make your fear, paranoia, depression, or low self-esteem worse.
I had one teacher state it something like this, “when the third eye opens it activates our fears and phobias and our psychic senses.”
Our third eye represents the energy center of awakening, which reveals that which was previously hidden from us. It is the portal to our intuition. It is also the seat of fear. To get to the Truth that was being revealed, I had to address my fears and phobias. That was a very slow process.
Fear has a lot of flavors, hides behind so many assumptions, and manifests in unconscious ways. Fear can grip my heart with a strangling emotion of dread, disguise itself as guilt, it can be judgmental or even self-righteous. Fear manifests in ways that can still surprise me. Most of my fears, and I believe most fears of others, center on our perception of how others see us. The fear of being seen as less-than, not good enough or not fitting in is strong in our world. It motivates our drive for status, money, success, and beauty.
After reflecting on these things, I realized I needed to release the fear of people thinking negatively about me and work towards being unaffected by the perceptions of others. The only way to be authentically me was to let go of the need to please, appease, and garner favor from others. That has taken a great deal of time. The programming ran deep into my childhood and birth culture. It took a lot of time, energy, and fortitude to deprogram what I was born into.
It is a huge process to do this, yet without addressing my fears I would only know partial truths or even misinterpret what I was getting intuitively. Not being able to trust my intuition or my inner wisdom would block any progress I may make on my path of Truth. Accessing my spiritual purpose is reliant on trusting myself. If my fears were making me see things differently and making it hard to trust myself, then why bother continuing? I had to be courageous and face the fears that hid in the deepest recesses of my consciousness. Fear is not as obvious as what we feel when we are in a dangerous situation. Most fears are as quiet as a pin drop, and we must be sensitive to each fluctuation in our thoughts, moods, and energy to notice them.
Pay attention! That is the best spiritual advice I can give anyone. Watch your thoughts and your feelings. See how they influence you. Then ask yourself why you are having those thoughts and feelings. Do it again and again. Do it in meditation, as you are on a peaceful drive, as you bathe, as you live your life in the quiet moments of being. You do not need a special meditation technique to access what hides in the mind. You only need to pay attention to what comes up for you and examine it in a quiet state of mind. Ask yourself why you have that thought or feeling and then be mindful of how it influences you or causes you fear.
This is true self-awareness.
I have grown in extraordinary ways and seen unimaginable things. I walk a path of unprecedented experiences and have access to the deepest wisdom behind the veil of illusion, all because of this practice. It did not come easy. But the more difficulties that came up through this process, the more tools I learned to address them. Each fear I face and every demonstration of trust helps me build the path to take the next step. There is no spiritual path already laid out ahead of me. I must build it with the trust I have in myself.
Awakening may happen in a moment, but it takes discipline, courage, and fortitude to be awakened for a lifetime. Without self-awareness, awakening can become delusional, paranoid, and chaotic. We are seeing a wave of people say they are part of the Great Awakening only to espouse beliefs that cater to fear, such as conspiracy theories. This is not to disparage them but to use that experience as an example. I have no doubt they have awakened, but they have not faced their fears. The fear of the ‘other,’ the fear of not belonging, the fear they are powerless, and so on. Conspiracy theories help us feel validated in our fears and give us meaning behind our feelings of victimhood. This allows us to keep our sense of powerlessness and relinquish control over our belief system and consciousness. This is the antithesis of what awakening sets out to do for us.
In ancient times, the master of any supplicant who had not dealt with their fears did not reveal esoteric practices. Therefore, the process of the master who teaches the acolyte took years of long apprenticeships to ensure they were ready. You can see the great wisdom and reasoning behind this practice. You can see why it takes monks years of discipline to become enlightened, and a hermit may spend their life in solitude to get the connection to divinity they seek.
Awakening is just the beginning. After awakening, the genuine work of the spiritual path begins.
Most of us don’t have religious structures or ancient traditions to help us. We cannot find a master to sweep for. Living in a monastery is not possible. Becoming a hermit is not practical. Relying solely on a tradition to support your awakening is risky because many masters lack integrity, and religious leaders can be corrupt.
We only have ourselves and slivers of moments between caring for others, doing for our boss, maintaining a household, or working in our careers. But in truth, we can use these slivers to support our spiritual path simply by paying attention.
Make it your habit to notice what is going on with you. Be curious about every change of thought or feeling. Ask to know more from yourself and your awakening will not only continue, but it will create a pathway of wonders.
