How to Develop Claircognizance

What is Claircognizance?

Claircognizance means ‘clear-knowing’. Claircognizants ‘know’ certain things without being told. For claircognizants, their higher self or spirit guides put information (in the form of thought) into their mind. This can be a whole load of information that is ‘downloaded’ into the mind. It can be smaller insights about people and situations here and there. It can be an inspired idea. All claircognizance is characterized by this strong sense of knowing that goes beyond logic and by the fact that the intuitive information comes into the thinking mind, not into the heart or the mind’s eye.

End-of-Life Decision-Making - Withholding Vs Withdrawing Treatment

By David Lemberg

Families will struggle with these choices, regardless of whether withholding or withdrawing treatment is being considered. For the ethics consultant, it's good to begin with the understanding that withholding and withdrawing are moral and ethical equivalents. That clears the playing field.

It seems likely that family members who are guilt-ridden - for all the things they did to and for the dying relative and all the things they didn't do - will have great difficulty with any of these choices. As they're losing their relative permanently, all the past can now never be made right. So there's a strong tendency to hold on regardless of the medical circumstances.

Such individuals could never be "responsible" for any proactive choice that would result in their relative's demise. As long as the relative lives, the family member's fantasy of resolving the guilt can continue. And, in no way could they be able to pile on more imagined guilt than they already have.

Withholding treatment might be more palatable, as the family member is only agreeing to the status quo. Withdrawing treatment would require taking action that would change the present circumstances. The family member cannot take on that responsibility in the face of the unresolved issues.

For the most likely small minority of families who are able to let their loved ones go in a humane and medically responsible manner, such questions might not arise.

Matters of withholding or withdrawing treatment depend on the specifics of the case. If there are reasonable expectations regarding quality and length of life, then beginning treatment with targeted reevaluation is appropriate. Withdrawal might be considered at a later date.

If the prognosis is poor from all points of view, and lifesaving measures would only keep the body alive with no other prospects, then withholding treatment seems most appropriate.

Of course, these are hypotheticals and necessarily sketchy.

A fresh perspective may be obtained by considering that our current medical expertise is only a modest upgrade from the days of leeches and bleeding patients. If the human race lasts another 300 years, future physicians and concerned citizens will look back on the 21st century with much of the same horror and bemusement with which we view early 18th-century medicine.

Cancer treatment provides a bracing context. Chemotherapy, ablative surgery, and radiation may be eventually viewed as barbaric rather than "heroic". From another viewpoint, these methods may be the best we have right now. But that doesn't suggest they should be used in all cases. Case-by-case evaluation and treatment would be the most humane approach.

Similarly with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG)tubing. Whereas these may be useful in the ICU in cases in which survival and quality of life are real considerations, such methods of artificial nutrition/hydration are not appropriate merely for ensuring continued life. What's the value of being alive when you're mostly dead?

In clinical bioethics, nothing is straightforward. It is critically important to have an open mind and leave one's prejudices and preconceptions at the hospital entranceway.

How to Develop Clairsentience

What is Clairsentience?

Clairsentience means ‘clear-feeling’. It is perhaps the most down-to-earth of all the intuitive gifts. Most people use clairsentience on a daily basis. This looks like your feelings sending you intuitive guidance. Just to give a common example: you may experience a feeling of discomfort and then intuitively feel impulsed to look behind you only to see someone staring at you.

How to Overcome a Fear of the Spirit World

A few years ago I really wanted to open up to the spirit realm and learn to connect with my spirit guides, but for months on end, fear stood in my way. I was scared of seeing/hearing ghosts, disembodied voices, evil entities and even my own spirit guides. I felt that hardly anyone could help me overcome this issue and most of those who did just said I had to ‘face the fear’, which I felt wasn’t much help because I was paralyzed by it! Later on I had some help and reassurance from other psychics and had many breakthroughs of my own in my understanding of the spirit world, which helped me to deconstruct my fear and see it for what it was. I will share some of these breakthroughs in this post.

It's Important to Plan End of Life Decisions

By Nick Messe

An effective estate plan is more than a decision on how to distribute your assets after death and should be developed at the law offices of a qualified estate planning attorney. A will is an important starting point in the process, but may not always be enough depending on your specific situation. There are a variety of estate planning tools that can be utilized to give you and your family security and peace of mind. A will is a written document that outlines how a person wants their assets and property distributed upon their death. If applicable it will indicate who will become the guardian of minor children or disabled dependents. A will also sets out who will administer the estate.

Listen to the interview with Carolyn Brent too learn why it's so important to have end-of-life discussions before you are placed in a position to make a decision while wrought with emotions.


Using quality legal representation to assist you in preparing your will can help ensure your wishes are followed. Dying without a will or leaving an ill-prepared will can lead to confusion, contests by family members and increased probate costs. A trust is used to manage assets or property. There are different types of trusts available depending on the situation. For instance, a living trust is used to transfer assets to a trust to be administrated for the benefit of the person until death. A testamentary trust is established in a will and usually prepares for the financial care of minor children or disabled dependents.

A successful and enforceable trust should be prepared by an attorney to ensure it meets all legal requirements. Other important estate planning tools include living wills and powers of attorney. A power of attorney is used to assign personal powers to an agent to act on your behalf in a legal capacity. Different types of powers of attorney include limited, general, durable and financial.

For instance, a durable power of attorney allows your agent to act in your capacity during your incapacitation. Utilizing a power of attorney in this regard helps avoid the state becoming involved in your affairs. Quality legal representation can help you understand what type of documents applies to your unique situation and ensure they are executed correctly. A living will, also referred to as an advanced health care directive, is used to specify your wishes concerning end of life decisions. Specifically, it is used to communicate to family members and medical professionals what life-saving measures, if any, should be taken.

Using an attorney to help draft your living will can help guarantee there are no misunderstandings regarding your last requests. Developing an estate plan has become a necessary part of life. It is important to interview and hire a qualified attorney from a law firm capable of handling your estate planning needs.

At the law offices of Stone, Duncan, & Associates, PC we provide quality legal services and a unique legal experience to individuals, businesses, and professionals throughout Pennsylvania. If you're looking for a Criminal Lawyer in the counties of Adams, Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Fulton, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry, Schuylkill, or York, give us a call.

For a detailed explanation, see the following message by Mother Mary. NOTE: By instructions from Mother Mary, this miracle rosary in NOT copyrighted. You have permission to use and distribute this rosary as you see fit. However, please do not alter the rosary.

In the name of the unconditional love of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Miracle Mother, Amen.

(Insert your personal prayer here)

NOTE: To give the complete rosary, repeat the following cycle of affirmations four times (give the Hail Mary nine times for each cycle). This will take 22-30 minutes depending on speed. If you do not have time for the full rosary, repeat the cycle one time. You can insert personal calls and dedicate the rosary for a specific purpose after the initial dedication.

Lord’s Prayer

Our Father-Mother God who is within all life,
We honor your Presence, the I AM, within us.
We accept your kingdom manifest on Earth through us.
We accept our responsibility to manifest your will on Earth,
as it is manifest in Heaven.

We accept that you are giving us our daily opportunity
to be all that you are.
We acknowledge that you forgive us our imperfections,
as we forgive each other and surrender our will
to the higher will within us.
We therefore accept the truth
that the universe returns to us what we send out.

We take responsibility for our lives and our planet.
We vow to rise above the temptations of the lower self,
so that you can deliver us from all imperfect energies.
We affirm that your kingdom, power and glory
is manifest on Earth, now and forever. Amen.

Hail Mary

Oh Mother Mary, we release
all thoughts and feelings less than peace,
releasing now all patterns old,
we leave behind the mortal mold.

River of Life, eternal flow,
we will to live, we will to grow.
We will transcend and be the more,
the joy of life we do adore. (One time only)

NOTE: The above Hail Mary is the one best suited for the present Aquarian age consciousness. The Hail Mary below is the original one, given as a transition between the Piscean and Aquarian consciousness. You can use either one according to your own sense of what resonates with you.


Hail Mary

Hail Mary, one with Grace,
the Lord is with us through you.
Blessed are we by your miracle Grace,

and by the miracle love of your son, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of Miracles,
we surrender our fears, now and forever.
We accept God’s unconditional love,
and see the Miracle Kingdom manifest on Earth. (One time only)

Affirmation of the Inner Christ

In the name of Jesus Christ,
I call to beloved Mary, Mother of Miracles.
Teach me the miracle of holding the immaculate concept
for myself, for all life and for the Earth.
Teach me the miracle of complete surrender to God
that I too may say from the bottom of my soul:

“Oh Lord, be it unto me according to your will.”

Hail Mary.

I hereby surrender all that stands in the way
of the manifestation of God’s miracle in my life.
Oh God, I surrender myself completely unto you.
Oh God, I withhold nothing from you.
Oh God, I give my all to you.

Hail Mary

I surrender my human ego and false sense of identity,
and I accept that God consumes it now.
Oh God, I am willing to lose my mortal sense of identity
to win the immortal life of the Christ consciousness.
I call to my Christ self to descend and take command

over all aspects of my life and consciousness,

and I accept that I am filled with the Light of Christ,
now and forever.
I accept that my Christ self is the Way, the Truth and the Life,
and that my life is built upon the rock of Christ.

Hail Mary

Oh God, I confess that I of my own self can do nothing;
it is the I AM presence within me who is the true doer.
I accept that I am created in the image and likeness of God.
I accept that I am a son/daughter of God.
I accept that the Christ is born in me this moment,
and I accept that I AM the second coming of Christ in me.

Hail Mary

I accept that I am the Living Christ walking the Earth,
and therefore I accept and affirm that God can do
the works through me that he did through Jesus.
I accept and affirm that with God all things are possible.

Therefore, I accept the manifestation of the miracle of God
in all aspects of my life and consciousness.

Hail Mary

I accept the miracle of the overturning of the tables
of the false teachers and their false students,
those who deny the Christ within themselves and others.
Those who will not enter the inner path
and who seek to hinder those
who are willing to enter the true path.
I accept that their day is done

and that their citadels of power, in church and state are no more.
I accept that they have no power on Mother Earth.

Hail Mary

I accept the miracle of the raising
of all sons and daughters of God
to discover and accept the true, inner path
to personal Christhood.
I accept the miracle of a mass awakening,
and I see people accepting the inner path
and bringing about the second coming of Christ
and the true Christ Mass.

Hail Mary

I accept the miracle of God’s kingdom manifest on Earth.
I affirm and accept the coming
of the ascended Jesus Christ
to reign as the spiritual king of Earth, now and forever.
I see this done and I hold the immaculate concept
for the Earth and all life thereon.

Hail Mary

The Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. (Repeat 3 times)
Amen.

In the name of the unconditional love of the Father,
the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Miracle Mother, Amen.

Sealing of the rosary

I accept the infinite peace of the Divine Mother. I choose to abide in that peace always, and I accept the perfect love of the Divine Mother. I accept that her love consumes all my fears. I accept that I am the Living Christ in embodiment, and I vow to be all that I am in God and more.

In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Miracle Mother, I seal the Earth in the infinite love and light of the Divine Mother. It is done, it is finished, it is sealed in matter, for the mouth of the Divine Mother has spoken it. Amen.

Virtual Interview with Author Carolyn Brent

Today I have the great pleasure of being the host on Day 3 of the Virtual Blog Tour of author Carolyn A. Brent whose book Why Wait? The Baby Boomers' Guide to Preparing Emotionally, Financially and Legally for a Parent’s Death launches on Amazon on Tuesday November 15, 2011.

Author Carolyn A. Brent, M.B.A. is a former clinical educational manager in the pharmaceutical industry. She is an avid activist and advocate working with the U.S. Congress for the purpose of creating change to protect seniors and veterans from financial and medical abuse. She has appeared on many local and national TV and radio shows, and is a sought-after keynote speaker.

Yesterday, Carolyn visited Lynn Serafinn at http://lynnserafinn.com/news-lynn-serafinn-coach-author-workshops-radio-community-leader/what-no-one-wants-to-talk-about-but-absolutely-must , where Lynn shared with you a summary and live interview recording with Carolyn.

Today, I'd like to share with you a recent interview I had with Carolyn when I got to ask her some important family questions around support and being prepared. I hope you enjoy it.

-------

Yvonne Perry: I know that end-of-life issues are very important, but this is one of those topics most people don’t like to discuss. What do you think are some of the crucial emotional conversations parents, and siblings?

Carolyn A. Brent: Thank you for this wonderful question. You are correct people do not want to have these types of conversations.  However, if a family avoids talking about the emotional things such as money, hospitals, the "what if" and wait until there is a sudden unexpected emergency, all hell can breakout due to emotions running high.  So, it is best to be prepared for your parent’s end-of-life physical, mental, and emotional challenges and ultimate death, by having the conversation early rather than later.

Yvonne Perry: My mom is a caregiver for her 95-year-old mother. I would like to see my mom taking better care of her own self and asking for help when she needs it. Do you have any tips about how to get some help when other family members can’t/won’t step in to relieve the full-time caregiver?

Carolyn A. Brent: Reach Out for Support!  It is critical that you reach out for support for your mom.  You can support your mom by asking extended family members and friends to contribute in any way to take some of the pressure off your mother. If your family members can’t/won’t step in to relieve your mom, REACH OUT and get RESPITE CARE for your grandmother. Respite Care will allow your mom to get a week or so off from her 24 hours a day 7 days a week from the work of a caregiver. You want to help your mom avoid caregiver burnout….
Also, take your mom to a day spa, you can offer your mom a day off, a week off, but simply do your best to assist in any way you can to let your mom know that she is not alone.

Yvonne Perry: At what point should a family decide to choose hospice care for an ailing loved one?

Carolyn A. Brent: Hospice care is appropriate when a person will no longer benefit from curative treatment and life expectancy is approximately six months if the disease runs its normal course. The decision for someone to enter a hospice program will be a joint decision between the person, his or her family members, and his or her primary care physician and the hospice medical director.

----------

I hope you enjoyed this interview with Carolyn A. Brent and that you’ll check out her book Why Wait? The Baby Boomers' Guide to Preparing Emotionally, Financially and Legally for a Parent’s Death at http://www.babyboomersguide.org/book-launch/pre-launch.html

Life After Death, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt?

It’s understandable and natural to wonder or be fascinated by the idea of life after death, but there are so many conflicting accounts! How then are we to assess the truth for ourselves? Well today I’m excited to share an opportunity with you to deliberate the matter for yourself in a very special online trial, and best of all, participation is totally free!

We've all heard stories about near death experiences and afterlife encounters, but is there enough evidence to hold true in the criteria used by our court system - beyond a reasonable doubt - that personal consciousness survives death? This is exactly what my friend and colleague New York Times bestselling author and former criminalist, Eldon Taylor investigates in his provocative new series where you, the listening audience, become the jury. But be advised, in your search for the truth, you may well find some of your favorite theories disproved!

More details here: http://www.progressiveawarenesspromotions.com/it/11k/index.html

The evidence in this case will be closely examined via the means of near death experiences, reincarnation, electronic voice phenomenon, animals and the afterlife, mediumship, and more! You will hear in-depth testimony from 14 leading experts in these fields, such as: Dr. Raymond Moody, PMH Atwater—a long-time acquaintance of mine who not only is exacting in her research but also had three of her own near-death experiences that led her into decades of further exploration, Dr. Julie Beischel, Dr. T. Lee Baumann, David Kessler, Dr. Kevin Nelson and Michael Tymn. By interviewing the experts, Eldon evaluates and lets you decide the verdict.

The information from this series may surprise you, so be sure to assess all the facts for yourself and make your own verdict. Also, gain access to incredible bonus gifts from numerous sponsors of this program, including one from myself.

Remember, there is zero cost involved and this series is only available for a limited period of time. I know this program will offer you many eye-opening moments, so please do check it out - click the link below to join the investigation.

Which Is Your Strongest Intuitive Gift?

If you’ve read any of my other articles you’ll probably notice I’ve been banging on about the importance of finding out your intuitive gifts. This is because intuition or psychic ability is not just one gift – it’s actually made up of four gifts – clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience and claircognizance.
The chances are, you have innate abilities in one or two of these gifts. The chances also are that one or two of the above gifts you do not have yet. Your intuition will be difficult and slow to develop if you try to develop a gift that you don’t have yet and neglect the gifts you do have. So that’s why it helps to start your journey of intuitive development knowing what you’re naturally good at.

What to Do About Ghosts Who Visit Your Children

Does your child see ghosts?
Should you ever allow a ghost to interact with your child?
Is it okay for a ghost to stay in your home?

Is there ever a time when a spirit should be allowed to stay?
Can I help a ghost cross over?

If you have asked any of these questions, you may or may not have gotten the answers you needed to remedy the situation. Now, you have the tools you need to make this decision and do something about it.

Dr. Goode and I, along with ghost clearing expert Ranoli, recorded a 60-minute audio on clearing your space of entities. In this discussion, Caron talks about why children see ghosts, and I share a few ghost stories and how my psychic grandson interacted with the spirit world when he was very young.

Recently I had a mom concerned about her 2-year-old son who began reporting that he was seeing a ghost at home. Then, he started saying the ghost was following them to public places. The child was terrified of the ghost. To me, this suggests that the entity is an earthbound spirit and not a spirit guide.

A young child with limited vocabulary typically doesn't make up stories like this. First of all, he has no reason to lie about what he sees or pretend to be afraid of a ghost—a term he probably has not heard in his daily experience. Should a parent be concerned about this? I would say yes—not because there is something to be afraid of, but because as a parent you want to know who is hanging around your child (regardless of whether they have a physical body or not) and what that ghost’s intentions are.


In Kids Who See Ghosts, Dr. Caron Goode suggests that parents find out what purpose the ghost serves in your child’s life. If a spirit is an elder (ancestor) who is serving as a spirit guide, children are usually not afraid of them. If is it an earthbound spirit (most likely in cases when a child is terrified of the entity). Dr. Goode would ask questions such as these:

1. Do you as a parent want this spirit interacting or watching your son? Why or why not?
2. Does your son want the ghost around him? Why or why not?

As a parent (or anyone in a human body), you—not the ghost—have the ultimate authority in a situation like this. Just as if someone were trespassing on your property, you have every right to say whether or not this ghost can watch and follow your child around. I would advise you to do a compassionate release to permanently remove the spirit and help it cross over.

I know this is going to sound like a sales gimmick, but first 10 people who purchase the MP3 for $19.99 will get a printed copy of Caron’s book, Kids Who See Ghosts (a $12 value), Ranoli’s e-book Ghost First Aid Kit, which tells why and how to help a ghost cross over, and two PDF children’s stories from me. If you are interested, visit http://live-spirit.com/spirit-cleansing-techniques for details.

Regardless of whether or not you get the MP3, I hope you will take action to keep this and other entities from attaching to your child's auric field.

Apparitions and Kids Who See Ghosts

I have a physic grandson named Sidney, for whom I wrote The Sid Series ~ A Collection of Holistic Stories for Children. There was a time when Sidney was in my house. He was about four or five years old. We were sitting together in front of the computer when I asked him to go and retrieve something from another room in the house. He got up and started toward the door and then just stopped short.
I said, “Sidney, what is it? Do you see something?”
“Who is that?” he replied.
Oh, dear. I knew he had seen something—probably the spirit of a little boy that I had seen flash through my foyer just days before Sidney’s visit. “Is it a little boy?”
“Yes,” Sidney confirmed.
I said, “Well, he doesn’t belong here in our house. Let’s call upon archangels Michael and Chamuel and ask them to take this little boy into the light where he can find people who know him and love him?”
After a few moments, Sidney turned around smiling and said, “He’s gone!” Then he proceeded out the door like nothing strange had happened. That confirmed what I had suspected all along—Sidney could see in the spirit world.

Ghosts Moving Things in Your House

I was working with a client whose mother had been abusive to her. I’m a freelance writer and editor by trade. While editing Elizabeth’s book, I began to have some strange occurrences in my home. I awoke one Saturday morning to a thud. Something in my closet had fallen. Upon opening the door, I noticed my winter boot in the floor. This was strange because my boot had been in the top of the closet in a box with the flaps closed down. How it got out of the box and into the floor, to me, could only indicate the presence of an entity.
Knowing that I would have to deal with it—probably do a clearing with some sage, or some type of meditation, or calling on my guides—I decided to eat breakfast first. I joined my husband in the kitchen where I had a bowl of yogurt in a glass bowl. I had just finished the last bite when I noticed the drape in the dining room was cockeyed. I went to straighten the drape. I was standing in a chair and my husband was leaving the room when the bowl I had just finished eating my yogurt in exploded into about 25 pieces.
I knew I had an entity in the house so without further delay, I went into my mediation room, lit a candle and some sage, called on my guides, and asked the entity, “Who are you and what do you want?” She did not want me to write the book for my client because it was tattling on her and exposing her misdeeds done while in body. I sent the ghost on her way and tried to finish the book for the client. However, the client seemed to have disappeared. She did not answer my emails or return my phone calls and I do not know to this day what happened to her. I had no choice but to abandon the project.

Approaches to Care in Physician Assisted Suicide

By Sam Oliver

There is a growing interest in suicide. When people start looking for more information about suicide, you'll be in a position to meet their needs. This article is a brief description of much information on this subject. Let's start with 3 levels to discern in the act of euthanasia.

There are three levels to discern in the act of euthanasia:

1. One is a patient who is comatose or brain dead. In these cases the doctor is asked to "pull the plug," or remove the patient from mechanical life support. These cases are generally not challenged by the general public. It is an act of withdrawing or withholding necessary mechanisms used to sustain a life that cannot sustain itself. It is here that the recognition of one's personality is gone and the shell of a body is all that remains.

2. Another act of euthanasia involves the use of morphine to hospitalized patients in the painful final stages of her or his life with diseases such as cancer and AIDS.

3. The last category of euthanasia is patients in relatively good health and at the beginning of a terminal illness wishing to end their lives. Such cases as Alzheimer's and Cancer preclude patients to want information on PAS. This is the most controversial of the three issues involved in euthanasia.

Euthanasia originated from the Greek language meaning "good death." It is the intentional termination of a life by another person capable of doing so by the request of the person wanting to die. Here are a few terms that one needs to know in PAS that define actions taking place.

Passive Euthanasia is the hastening of a death by means of altering some form of support and letting nature take its course. This can include; removing life support equipment, stopping medical treatment or procedures, stopping food and water consumption which leads to dehydration or starving to death, and withholding CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation). The most common use of PAS is to give patients large doses of morphine to control pain. It is most likely that the pain relief will suppress respiration and cause death earlier than it would have otherwise happened. This is also done on patients who are in a persistive vegetative state or patients not able to regain consciousness due to brain damage.

Active Euthanasia is the use of intentional means to cause the death of a person through a direct action. Dr. Jack Kevorkian, a Michigan physician made this well known in 1998 with a patient who had ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). His patient was afraid of the long suffering involved in ALS and wanted to die a quick and painless death. Dr. Kevorkian injected controlled substances into this patient and caused death. Kevorkian was charged with 1st degree murder, but the jury found him guilty of 2nd degree murder in March of 1999.

Physician Assisted Suicide is the provision of information or means to a dying patient with the intent to commit suicide.

Involuntary Euthanasia is the ending of a life without a patient clearly requesting it.

"There are many reasons why patients want to utilize PAS. Some are simply clinically depressed, of which, one's illness has brought on or one's emotional and mental processing of their illness has led to suffering in ways beyond the body. Others live in chronic pain-due to lack of healthcare coverage or means to obtain medication. This later group would rather die early and not incur medical expenses on those they leave behind. A serious disorder or disease such as: ASL, Huntington's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, AIDS, Alzheimer's, etc. are just some of the illnesses people would rather avoid losing their independence and finances over. In some ways, this gives people a feeling of control over the process of their lives."

Effective Meditation

Meditation is the tool whereby you can establish and develop your own connection with Spirit.

Meditation has been used in many different ways for centuries. Some are effective, most are not. It began very simply and has always been employed by Spirit as a way to initiate communication with people. As time has gone on and life has become more complicated, human nature being what it is has led people to look for something 'more' and many methods of meditation now reflect what people think will be more effective.

Some methods employed by particular groups (such as some monks for example) to achieve an exceptionally deep level of mediation are suitable for their needs but not for the average person.

Most other methods that are popularly used to achieve a state of meditation are usually ineffective.

Being Watched by a Ghost

The veil was thin that November day in 2010 when I was keeping my grandsons at their home. My son and his wife were away for a week celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary. Within a matter of hours of being the only adult in the house, I began sensing an ominous presence—especially whenever I was in the bedroom and or bathroom. It was eerie and I felt like I was being watched. I intuitively knew that the spirit was my daughter-in-law’s father. Perhaps “sperm donor” is a more fitting term for him. She never knew the man because he abandoned her family when she was about a year old. Since this was not my home and I didn’t know if my daughter-in-law wanted her father around in order to resolve some issue she might have with him, I set a boundary that would not allow his spirit to come near me, my grandsons, or their property as long as I was there. I let my daughter-in-law know about this when she returned and she immediately decided to maintain the boundary I had set.

There are times when a spirit has a personal message for me or another person. If I can deliver the message without causing discomfort to myself, I will try to do so. The veil was thin that November day before Amanda and my son returned home, Amanda’s mother, Kendra (“Nanna K” as her grandchildren called her), dropped by in spirit. I knew and loved Kendra and didn’t even have to ask who the spirit was. There was a lightness, warmth, and sense of love surrounding me as I heard her say, “I’m just dropping by to check on my babies. It’s good to see you here. Thank you for all you do for Amanda and the boys.” I related this message to Amanda, who received the news with tears of joy. Those are the times when I am glad I can consciously interact with spirits.

Is it Painful to Die?

By Valerie Olmsted

Most people are afraid of dying; not of the actual experience of death, but rather of the anticipated pain. Having had six NDE's (Near Death Experiences) myself, only one of which was in the dying body, I can shed a little light on the subject. There does not have to be pain; the pain usually comes when your Spirit comes back to the body, not when it is leaving.

The first NDE I experienced was as a toddler, when I fell off my parents' boat. I sank to the bottom of the muddy river three times before they finally were able to grab me and haul me out. There was no fear, no pain, and I found it fascinating. There was also no water in my lungs; explain that one.

The next few NDE's happened at the beginning of an accident. When the house was about to blow up, I found myself out of body, floating out in the cosmos, talking with Jesus Christ and a Council of wise ones. In the life review, I discovered that what I came to this life for had been accomplished back in my toddler years. I was given the choice of coming back to Earth or staying in Heaven. I chose to come back, to help. They showed me how difficult life on Earth would become.

When my Spirit came back into my body, I was able to stop the explosion that was about to happen, saving not only my life, but the lives of three housemates and four dogs. They just didn't appreciate the gesture when they woke up to find all the windows and doors open so the gas could air out (it was about 20 degrees in there; one guy froze his butt to the toilet seat).

The next one came during a bout with peritonitis that put me into the hospital. Two angels showed up, dragged my Spirit out of my body, raced me through the cosmos to an electrified grid, dragged me through, then slam-dunked me back into my body...and I was healed.

The whole NDE thing was getting to be 'old-hat' familiar to me. When my car was locked in a skid straight for the edge of an icy cliff, I called out to Father to pull me out of the body before we hit bottom, so I wouldn't have to feel any pain. THAT was a truly incredible experience, which included the car being pushed away from the edge at the last minute, into a snow bank on the opposite side of the road.

The next NDE happened when I was poisoned by carbon monoxide over three months. The last night, I stopped breathing at least three times. As I entered the darkness of the tunnel-where one's energy/Spirit is pulling entirely out of the body-I thought "Not my Will, but Thine be done, Father". Suddenly I was snapped back into the body. Dang.

Most notable about my NDE's is that not all of them involved the death of the body. The death would have occurred, if I had chosen to leave, but since my decision was to stay, the accident didn't continue. None of those NDE's were due to the so-called scientific explanation of the 'last gasp of the dying brain'. In fact, the extensive research into NDE's done by Dr. Jeffrey Long shows that NDE's cannot be explained by any physical means, nor are they controlled by the brain.

Metaphysicians can tell you that our Consciousness comes from the Mental Plane, which does not exist in the body. Quantum Physicists say it's in the Non-Local Mind. I am less concerned with where it resides than I am with the fact that our Consciousness is taken out of the body before it can register pain. The only time one feels pain is if the death is slow and the Consciousness refuses to detach.

The moral of the story: let go. Of course, if you choose to come back, that can be painful, as you would have to deal with whatever happened to the body. Oh, and suicides...not a good idea. If a suicide survives there is often so much trauma to the body that life becomes even more difficult. Succeeding in killing the body would not be so great either, as many times suicides wander in the darkness, alone, for quite some time.

Live your life-fully-and be grateful. Live without regrets; that makes the leaving so much easier. Truly, "Let not thy Heart be troubled".

What Do Ghosts Want from Us?

As you start to clear your field and remove layers of unresolved karma under the blankets of your emotional disguise, you may find that some entities are actually asking for your help to cross into the light. If ghosts are finding you, and you are willing to help them cross over, either call upon Archangels Michael and Chamuel or send the ghosts to the nearest morgue or funeral home. They can go into the light with others who are crossing over. More than one soul at a time can use the tunnel of light created for the newly departed.
In When Ghosts Speak, Mary Ann Winkowski states that a portal of light is opened whenever someone dies and this window of opportunity remains open for a short while during which a soul can make a choice to go into the light or stay in the earth plane. Some wait too long to decide and therefore miss their chance to go into the light. Thus, they become earth bound.
Here are some of the reasons why some souls do not cross over when they first leave the body is because:

  1.         They are attached to things such as jewelry, cars, houses, furniture, or places where they lived found comfort, or died
  2.          They are busybodies who don’t want to leave
  3.        They are seeking revenge or pursuing justice
  4.         They fear judgment or punishment on the other side
  5.          They want to protect the living
Mary Ann Winkowski is the consultant for the creators of the CBS show, The Ghost Whisperer, in which Jennifer Love Hewitt stars. The first time I saw this show, I cried for joy because finally someone had an explanation as to why souls were coming to me. I sensed they wanted help, but I didn’t know what to do for them. Even though I had sensed the presence of spirits all my life, I had no idea that I was a “ghost whisperer” (a.k.a. medium) as well as an empath. No wonder my life was so crazy while I was ignorant of these very important facts. Knowledge is power. As I learned to follow my own heart and develop spiritual intelligence, I began setting boundaries with these disembodied souls. I started calling upon angels, archangels, and my own spirit guides whenever a soul came to me for help. Archangels Michael and Chamuel can help these lost souls find a place of peace in the afterlife. At first, I visualized the soul leaving, but once I knew my effort was working, I relaxed and enjoyed my new-found privacy with the assurance that my “guidance team” was taking care of things.

How Do Ghosts Remain Active for Years?

Some people believe entities are conjured by human thoughts and fed by negative emotional energy. Some believe they are the unresolved karma or crystallization that was housed in the astral body of someone who has died and was not cremated. We know that fire and smoke are purifying agents. This is why many ancient cultures performed elaborate “last rites” (mainly to protect the living from the departing soul) and burned the physical body on a funeral pyre. This is said to dismantle the astral body and destroy its unresolved karma, which certainly can’t go into the Light with the pure soul essence. If this is true, then it explains why we have seen such a huge increase in violence, depression, and suicide since embalming and burial became the preferred method of disposing of a body.

Regardless of whether others think entities are real or imagined, if they bother you, then they exist for you and must be dealt with. I’m finding a lot of folks coming to me to talk about their plight in dealing with the energy of earthbound spirits. It seems people are suddenly becoming more able to we see, hear, feel, or sense their presence.

Most sources I’ve studied state that earthbound spirits must feed off of energy to remain active. They target humans who have a similar fixation as their own: drug or alcohol abuse, emotional indulgences, trauma, abuse, or someone who is ungrounded and not fully participating in their own spiritual development. When an earthbound spirit finds a human in a state of despair, having weak or no boundaries, the earthbound spirit attaches itself to the victim’s energy field.

A person with an entity attachment may also have their electromagnetic field contaminated with the negative energy. They will feel out-of-sorts, be filled with dysfunctional thoughts, rampant emotions, and have cravings that are not their own. The best way to keep these entities away is to raise your personal vibration, keep your aura close to your body, and remove negative or stuck energy so these beings are no longer attracted to you. Learn more in my book, Whose Stuff Is This? Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You.
