Spirit Communication

Communicating with Spirit is as natural as taking a bath, brushing your teeth or putting on clothes, but in order to make a Divine connection, it is important to know that the world of the nonphysical exists. Our uncertainty about the supernatural is because of our physical limitations that provide the foundation for our linear thinking. Our bodies transmit and translate energy. In our translation of energy, we are not able to interpret frequencies that are higher or lower than the ones we are able to receive through our 5 senses ruling our perception about reality.  If we cannot see, touch, feel, taste or smell something, it doesn’t exist.

The spectrum of visible color, however, represents less than 5% of the entire electromagnetic spectrum emanating from the sun.  When we see sunlight, at times we see white, yellow or gold colors. After a rain, however, when raindrops act like a prism, we can clearly see the band of rainbow colors of light forming an arch across the sky.  In fact, what we perceive as white light is made up of all the colors in the universe. 

If we were to take a closer look at the physical body and our DNA, genes that code for proteins forming our organs, only account for less than 5% of DNA. Of the 64 possible codons, 20 of them (amino acids) form proteins. What do the rest code for? Only recently has the rest of DNA formerly referred to as “junk DNA,” been recognized by cell biologists for meaning more than just trash that can be thrown away. More interesting, biologist and author, Rupert Sheldrake, has written about (Morphic Resonance) an invisible morphogenetic field that lies within our DNA that holds the patterning organizing our physical structure as well our beliefs. Hidden in this cosmic serpent is an unspoken language that communicates to infinity and our universal interconnectedness on a constant basis.

This intelligence is the executive producer and director of all things. I call it Spirit, while scientists call it the Higgs Boson, others call it God, but it is the all-in-all and knows everything. It is the stuff we are made of and it permeates the cosmos. Although logically understanding the world of the invisible is a key component for some, the ability to see what’s not seen in the material, better known as FAITH, is by far the essential precursor for communicating with Spirit. All spiritualists know that "believing" is "seeing."

Just as in the string theory, there are various levels or dimensions of the Spirit world and because of our linear thinking we are not able to comprehend everything about these dimensions. There have been, however, some humans who have broken the cosmic veil and experienced this Spirit communication while in an altered brain wave state or from the development of highly developed senses. In life between lives regression, people often experience their Spirit Guide and other Ascended Masters such as Jesus, Krishna and Buddha. Even more people have recalled while sitting by the side of their dyeing loved ones that before transitioning out of this life that they’ve reported seeing Angels or their dead family members coming to get them.

If you want to communicate with Spirit, there are some things that can help you. Daydreaming is a great way to develop your intuition and multisensory perception. Clairvoyance (seeing), clairsentience (feeling), clairaudience (hearing), and claircognizance (knowing), are highly developed senses that are higher versions of our basic 5 senses. Some exercises that can help you are: begin to focus on a plant and listen to the plant talk to you, or hold a crystal in your hand and feel its energy. Be careful of letting your mind take over and analyze things for you.

7 steps to Communicating with Spirit:

1. Belief and Faith. Know that the Spirit world exists;
2. Talk to God, your Guardian Angel or Spirit Guide everyday;
3. Look for signs and messages from them that are answers to your request. They know how best to communicate with you. Whether its through numbers, colors, dreams, signs, symbols, etc.;
4. Keep the mind still in an altered brain state through short or long meditation. When your mind is cluttered with worry, doubt and life’s dramas, it is difficult for them to reach you from their higher vibration to your lower one;
5. Create a book of recognizable symbols for your Guides to message you with;
6. Stay loving and heart based. This keeps your vibration in resonance with their higher vibration and connects them to you quicker;
7. Acknowledge them by thanking them. They love to be appreciated.

The more you talk to them and make yourself available for the good they have to offer you, the more they will appear.

Messages from the Angelic Realm

Our Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides are around us all the time. In fact, we are never alone from the time we take our first breath to our last. Although, especially in times of crisis when we feel the greatest intensity of feeling alone, our limited ability to "see beyond" the physical causes us enormous pain. 

Our perception of the world we live in is highly disguised by our belief patterns that were handed down by our parents, ancestors, teachers and the society in which we live. Our programming does not support our multisensory perception that allows us to connect with our loving Spiritual Guides and Angels with relative ease and certainty. Staying within the comfort zone of our five senses limits us and keeps us comfortable but at the expense of spiritual growth. Knowledge of the celestial realm of Archangels, Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides will help us navigate through the darkest hours, bringing light to chaos and confusion.

We first learn about the Angels when we are children. Some children actually feel as though they see Angels and Spirit Guides or even fairies. Children tell you about a deceased relative they encountered or an imaginary friend who comes to play with them. Even more remarkable are children who can tell you what they knew about you in a past life. Then confusion sets in. Sometimes its not accepted to have imaginary friends while other times we are encouraged to use our imagination. When our parents read us fairy tales and stories, we use our imaginations to picture and experience the story as it is read or told. They tell us about the Fairy Godmother in fairy tales, the Tooth Fairy, when we loose a tooth and Santa Clause during Christmas. These imaginary characters are encouraged. In the case of Angels and Spirit Guides, however, often it is shunned. Yet, if you have ever attended Sunday school, you learned about God's many messengers called, "Angels." As a child, I always thought about Angels and sometimes I would "imagine" them speaking to me, however, it was my secret - I would never let anyone know. Was I crazy?

All we have to do is ask and they will deliver. I received many messages from the Angels about my mother before and after her transitioning. I even had an encounter at the hospital with an Earth Angel. After my mother transitioned, I began to notice all kinds of messages from her.  As she laid peacefully in her hospital bed inside her bedroom, my siblings and I placed four coral roses on her chest. I sensed that although she had departed from her physical body that she was still around. The beautiful roses came from her front garden and represented the love of her four children.

Soon thereafter, I asked her to give me a sign that she was still around "in spirit" and that she was fine. That's when I noticed the presence of roses that were everywhere.  Before, I had never really noticed roses. Yes, I may have walked past a rose garden and noticed a beautiful rose, but now, somehow the roses that I noticed spoke to me. It started with my friend, Gary, who posted a message on his Facebook page that my mother had passed away. His posting displayed a picture of an Angel on a wall covered with roses. It was one that he selected after viewing hundreds of Angel images. Then, when I returned home to San Francisco, I attended the Global Exchange Human Rights Awards. At the end of the awards ceremony, I was called to the stage and made the last statement to a crowd of about 500 attendees. As I departed the stage, out of nowhere, I was approached by a woman who said that she felt compelled to give me a scarf as a gift. The sheer green scarf was from Pakistan, but their was something that caught my attention. After looking at the detail in the scarf, it was outlined in white with roses along its edges. Was this a sign that mom was around? (Please note that even though I saw roses many times this does not necessarily mean that mother was around, but I was being directed to roses out of a million other stimuli in my environment.)

One of the most profound experiences, however, occurred while traveling through the California Redwoods to Victoria, BC. My friend, Lynda, had set-up the trip a year prior, booking hotels and car rental services. A former trial lawyer, she is very detailed oriented and organized.  Lynda booked a beautiful Victorian bed and breakfast inn at a town in Ferndale, California. When we arrived, we were led to a double occupancy room that was designed with roses, including the wallpaper, rug and even the curtains had rose designs and patterns. It was the only bedroom that had an adjacent balcony that was lined with huge rose bushes. Our assigned bathroom, featured a rose theme from the shower curtain, to the wallpaper and rugs, all designed with rose patterns. I mentioned to my friend that my mother was around, but she dismissed it.

Common logic assumes that if you stay at a Victorian Inn you will encounter roses. Roses were frequently used by the elite during the Victorian period to secretly communicate different meanings depending upon its color, so Lynda was not as impressed as I was. She shrugged it off until we went to get something to eat in the small quaint town. We were told about a couple of places to dine by the Inn Keeper. She told us about a Thai restaurant about a block down the road and a pizza place that was pretty good. We walked to the Thai restaurant, but I decided against it so we continued to walk down the street. As we walked up the block, suddenly a woman with a beautiful smile walked towards us from the pizza restaurant. She was excited and was running hurriedly to her car that was parked out in the front. She stopped us to tell us about the great food that the pizza place offered, including the most delicious meal that was an eggplant Parmesan in the "shape of a rose." This was not a coincident for the timing had to be just right for the woman to be exiting at the exact time we walked to the pizza restaurant. Lynda was in shock and she finally believed that mother was in fact, around. We decided to eat there and ate the most delicious eggplant Parmesan I had ever tasted.

Since then, I continue to get messages from my mother, like the time I traveled to Los Angeles and rented a car that was assigned to me with the same color, "white." and tag number as my mother's. By the way, the name of the hotel I stayed in was the "Angeleno" (my mother's name was Angelyn, changed by her from Angeline) on Church Lane. Angels direct you to the messages but you must become aware and notice without trying. You will know because you'll feel it in your heart. This is how our Angels communicate to us. In Doreen Virtue's books "Signs form Above" and "Divine Guidance," she mentions some of the the signs that include certain seeing coins, numbers, and feathers that may be in your path. These symbols are indications of the presence of someone or relay a message such as that we are moving in the right direction.

In these tumultuous times and an evolving world, knowing the role of our friends in the celestial realm will help us navigate through desert storms. Although we have free will, Angels and Spirit Guides give us messages that help us stay on our soul's path this lifetime.  It is important that our children as well as ourselves know that they are always around to help us. That is one of the reasons I was inspired to create the "Angels and Spirit Guides Coloring and Activity Book" for ages 5+.  This project is a great gift for all who seek Divine guidance, wisdom and compassion. Readers learn about the Archangels, Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides, the difference between them and the specific roles they play in our lives. Plans are for the 56-page book to be printed and distributed by this Christmas. My greatest desire is for the book to be distributed FREE to children in hospitals and hospices as well as to the underprivileged. With help from the Angels all things are possible!
