The Paranormal

[Princess4u]

If you dont have a sense that a loved one is watching over you, does that mean they arent there at all? How do you know when someone is with you? And if they are and you cant tell, can you ask them to give a clue that they are present?

I think they are around you but you have to be more observant, utilize other senses. It is most often when I am not asking for their presence, when I feel them the strongest. I get wafts of fragrances, or peripherial sitings. I also watch my animals, they can detect a lot. When I brought my cats ashes home and put her urn on a shelf, my dog sat and stared at it constantly--every now and then he would bark at it. Often I would wake from a deep sleep and go to the door to answer a beckoning meow yet I never found a cat. There are little things that happen everyday, I just observe them differently.

Thank you Kimbo! That broke my heart to hear about your dog and cat. Animals love as strongly as we do that is for sure. Unfortunately I dont have any babies of my own, so I am stuck with my sense, which arent getting any younger LOL. But I will try to hone them in. I suppose after 9 years I should just stop hoping my mom would have cared enoughto pop in once and awhile, but as I think abut it...maybe its better she doesnt LOL....I am sure I wouldnt be doing something right to meet her expectations of me LOL.!

I believe there are spirits all around us and that people are much more sensitive to their presence than others. I used to think of them are "stuck" and they were supposed to "move on" but I'm not so sure of that now.

I grew up in a "haunted" house and as an adult have lived in at least two others. There is a definite presence in my office which not surprising because it is located in a building that was originally a hotel in the late 1800's. I've heard a lot of things a work and seen a couple of things from the corner of my eye. My personal favorite are the footsteps in the hall that accompany the shadow passing along the bottom of the door to my office or to the bathroom. Sometimes there's only one set but there can be several at once. It's pretty cool.

There's something here in my current apartment that drives my cat crazy. She walks around howling or sits and stares at the wall (or ceiling) meowing loudly to get my attention. Of course we are talking about a cat and this could just be a cat thing...but she didn't do this at my former residence. She's doing it right now as a matter of fact...

Animals have souls. They are all around us.

Spirits are all around us. Most definitely.

Princess My mom has been gone for seven and it took till just recently to pick up on her fragrance and last night i happened to have had a dream about her being alive and then passing....we also had a compromised relationship < to the degree of love hate > One thing to remember time on the other side is very different then it is for us as physical beings on earth. 10 years is like 10 seconds there, at least that's my belief. So don't give up on that connection. When my mom passed her room was filled with a cloud of cool white mist. and when she is around i still can see the mist but not her formation.sometimes when we want something so bad it deters it from occuring. just relax and let it flow.

Definitely ask them for a sign...If they are strong enough you may get all kinds of reactions, such as knocking on a near by wall> that was one of my late partners signs she was present three loud knocks on the wall of the room she died in in our home> that took about two years after her death to materialize. before that she would take dirt out of my potted plants and leave it on the floor for me also her nick name was penny for months after her death I would find pennies in the most unlikely places,lol

There are energy's all around us all all the time. generally I see or feel them before hearing them. Have you ever watched a paranoraml TV program and while watching it the hair stood up on your neck head or spine crawled......thats a good sign. it doesn't necessarily mean your afraid, it is your sixth sense speaking to you. have you ever seen a dark shadow pass by you < like in the corner of your vision> you think you saw something? Be open to it. Someone spoke of meditation earlier , thats a good way to open ones mind to what may be around them. it's a fairly simple process it involves deep breathing and teaching your self to have a minds eye focal point. I use colors to help me, for instance the color yellow or a flame setting my mind to totally fixate on a one object and clearing your mind of all else that runs through it during any given moment. and silence helps outside forces to get through so to speak. Don't doubt what you feel, just let it flow.

there are many different types of energy fields.I'll add some information links with nadrew's approval if anyone wants them. in regards to types .

it's a little bit of a challenge since I am not a gifted writer to show you how to summon a spirit via post,lol
but i hope this helped.

Thank you Lady,
I am glad you can relate to the issue around my mother. I suppose I have never expected her to really want to be around to make sure I am ok. She made it known on her death bed each of our places in her heart...and I dont think I made the top four and there are 4 of us. I suppose all I wanted to know was if she made it to a better place...after all she is my mother and despite years of abuse..I still love her....and just wanted her to be ok!!! I dont even know if she and my father have found eachother...or even if he wanted to spend eternity with her...she could be a very cruel person even to him. I would like to say I have given up hoping for their peace....but that wouldnt be true. Oh well....like I said...I dont expect them to hang around making sure I am ok....its just a warm and fuzzy thought....but thank you for your response....

[Andrew, Jr.]

When people are too close to me, I can't get a reading. I have seen spirits of my loved ones who have passed over after the fact. I no longer scares me as it used too.
