Ways to Identify a Past Life Bond

Ways to Identify a Past Life Bond

You just met a person and your connection felt instantaneous and profound.  It seems like you have always known this person, so how are you only just now getting to know each other?!  Karmic and past life bonds fill us with feelings of comfort and immediate ease.  It’s almost like a spiritual sense of coming home to someone.  Perhaps in this particular case you have met in a previous life, but how can you find out if this hunch is accurate?

Begin with the knowledge that people we seem to have the strongest connections are actually souls we have traveled with throughout the lifetimes.  In each incarnation we are able to lessons from each other and grow in ways that help bring us both closer to enlightenment.  These valuable lessons are not always easy or even pleasant.  One or both parties might need to learn how to forgive lingering hurts at a soul level.  If we are not able to learn this unconditional forgiveness, we will be forced to repeat the lesson until we gain mastery.

We also select themes we must face in each new life.  In order to address these issues, we recruit the aid of helper spirits which come into the lifetime along with in the form of a “soul mate.”  This bond could be the form of a family member, friend, stranger, teacher or even a romantic partner.

If you think a special person in your life is someone you have had a history with in a previous lifetime, start by looking for the lesson.  Are they helping to teach you something insightful about yourself or life in general?  Do they inspire you to improve yourself or the world around you?  A challenge, whether positive or negative is a strong sign of a previous life connections between two people.  Bigger challenges allow for greater self-growth and may signal that you have spent multiple lifetimes together since you need to face more steps to master this lesson.

Is this person playing a part in a recurring theme for you?  Just because you might be meeting for the first time, doesn’t mean the situation isn’t something previous engrained for you.  If we don’t learn a key lesson in a previous lifetime, it will carry over with us into the next one.  However, since it didn’t work the first time around, our soul might select a new teacher who can over a fresh perspective.  When you understand that the pattern is the same, but this new person is different you can watch as your life transforms for the better.  As you gain control of the lesson, your relationship together with evolve in untold ways.

Is this person selflessly helping you?  The benevolent stranger can be a valuable teacher or mentor.  If they are offering you something you are in desperate need of at particular moment in your life, this could be a sign that you have helped this person in a previous life and now they are paying your former kindness forward in this current lifetime.

Past lives are complex and rich.  When you look for and honor key signs that you have met before, you can reestablish deep connections to people that you may have overlooked in the hustle in daily living.  Together you can nurture these ties to help you both grow personally and spiritually in ways that will benefit the entire world.

Connecting with Your Chakras

Connecting with Your Chakras

What does it mean when you are reaching your higher self?  The higher self is the part of you where yo u have intuition and you are guided and given opportunities to live a better life.  This can come when you have been going through hard times and can be an easy path for you to choose.  When you have your higher self, you can connect with your self and with the truth.

Focus on what you are trying to do in life and get rid of your negative feelings.

Where is It?

Where is the place that you find your higher self?  This can be found in understanding.  There are chakras that you have, and your higher self is found on the eight chakra.  If you call upon this chakra, you will find your higher self.  It is a big place and there isn’t enough room for everything, but it is all you need.  It can travel down to where you are and help you.

Each moment of your day writes down what you are doing and what situations make you happy and what makes you upset.  Once you know, shift your energies.

Notice how others are being.  What kinds of seeds are they planting in you?  Not everyone will be with you forever and sometimes people come just to teach you something and then move on.

What would you do if you were a bigger version of yourself?  How do you want your life to be?

Living with Drama

Drama is in everyday life.  It is hard to heal yourself and to reach your higher self when you are focused on the drama of the world.  When you focus on all of your problems, you have a hard time finding a solution.  Look at your environment and see if you can find a higher place to be in yourself.

What challenges do you have?  Do you have a hard time connecting to your higher self?  What holds you back?  What has been things that you have been successful in?

Psychic or Empath

Psychic or Empath

If you want to be balanced in your life then this means that you need to find a healthy balance between your life at work, your life at home and your own psychic gifts.

Juggling life is never going to be easy and finding a balance can be hard.  When you are intuitive, it can be even harder because you are always picking up the feelings of others and are always sensitive to the energies around you.

Without even knowing it, chances are that you are on a different level and you will have a harder time balancing life.  An empath needs to find harmony in the chaos of life so that they do not feel overwhelmed and stressed out.

Guilt

If you feel guilty in your life, this can be hard to deal with.  You have to learn to deal with this and turn the negative emotions of guilt into positive emotions of love and happiness.  You have to learn to let it go and affirm yourself daily.

You have to allow yourself to be joyful and let yourself know that you are wonderful at being a mom, a friend and a good person.  You have to let your happiness be an inspiration to others and by being creative and joyful, you are helping others and yourself.

Meditation

Meditating is a good way to be able to center yourself.  If you look inside, meditating doesn’t even have to be a formal thing.  There doesn’t have to be a list of things to do and you can do this even when you are busy.  Take time to daydream and to think about things that you are doing in your life.  Practice your clairvoyance, clairaudience and more by listening to what is inside of you.

Use meditation to clear your mind and to give you a clear mindset.

Having Boundaries

Everyone has to have boundaries.  Boundaries help to balance you and especially if you are sensitive to people around you then interacting with others on a constant basis is hard.  You have to learn to stop picking up the energy of everyone you meet and if you are going to do this, prepare yourself.

Set boundaries by using a mirror and stand in front of it.  Tell the energies not to come to you and do not absorb them but let them bounce back off of you.  This can give you a clear feeling.

Remind yourself that you are allowed to be happy and that you can use the emotions of others to bring yourself creativity and happiness instead of pain and sadness.

Organization

Keep your life organized.  Have a plan to stay organized and make lists each day if you need to.  Help yourself to stay on track and do not overfill your schedule.

Remember Yourself

Do not forget that you need time in your day to concentrate on yourself.  Allow your soul and mind to heal along with your body.  Do something for you like take a hot bath or read a book.  Spend time with people you love and do anything that makes you feel good.

If you are places you shouldn’t be or around a lot of negativity, chances are, you will cause your energy to be harmed.  You are vulnerable to these things when you are open to other people and are sharing your gift or your healings.  It is the most important reason why you should always cleanse your aura.

Some of the things that you do will drain you and will have a bad impact on your energy.  Some of these things can happen when you are communicating with spirts and when they are using you to talk to others.  This can impact your aura strongly.

There are ways that you can protect yourself and increase your aura and you can do this first by imagining a white light surrounding you.  This is something you need to practice protecting yourself.

Another easy cleansing ritual is a salt bath.  This can happen during a reading when a psychic will wash their hands.  When you wash your hands, make sure that you do this with salt so that you can assist in your cleansing.  If you want to, take a full body bath in salt and this can continue to cleanse your whole body.

Meditating

Meditating each day is a way to keep yourself calm and strong.  Meditation can happen anywhere and at any time.  You can even go to a bathroom and shut the door and relax.

When you meditate, try to find a place that is calm and relaxing and a place that you can get comfortable in.

When you find a safe and calm place, allow your body to relax.  Breathe slowly and deeply and say a prayer.

If you have a busy day and you haven’t had time to meditate, do this before you go to bed or even when you are in bed.  Lay down and close your eyes and concentrate on good things.  This will refresh your energy and give you a good night rest.

Unlock the wisdom of the ancient runes to access your psychic powers

ancient runes

ancient runesOccult wisdom or hidden wisdom is frequently ignored as being a silly voodoo. Nevertheless, there are many things we can learn from the hidden arts that are likely to improve our everyday lives exponentially.

It is however sad that what several individuals comprehend of the new age merely lies with crystals and astrology.  Although nothing’s wrong with such concepts, there are lessons we can come out with through the occult.  One of those is rune making.  There is a similarity between runes and tarot cards since they can both be used for fortune-telling or divination.

Several individuals use the runes for spiritual and intuitive guidance, and for one to get better results, they can pair these runes with other forms of divination such as pendulum or tea leaves. There are other types of runes but, the Futhark is the most prevalent.

The Futhark runes originate from the letters of the early Germanic alphabets. The Latin alphabet was adopted in the early centuries AD, that’s when several Northern European countries stopped using the runic alphabets. These modern rune sets comprise of the 24 letters of the Futhark and one blank tile which is known as the Wyrd or Odin.

The tiles are picked or spread out from their pouch unto a surface for one to read the runes. The reader then translates their meaning based on their placement in the spread, just the same as a tarot reading. Both tarot readings and rune readings have a similarity, they both use several spreads depending on the situation.

Although there are other variations, the Futhark runes are the most well-known amongst the new age community. I love the witch runes because they showcase several symbols that are easy to remember. Several individuals discover that they are a good beginner’s point with only thirteen symbols to memorize.

Communicating with Loved Ones Who Have Passed

Communicating with Loved Ones Who Have Passed

Communicating with Loved Ones Who Have PassedMany people seek mediums to reconnect and communicate directly with the spirits of their loved ones who have passed. But connecting with those in the spiritual realm isn’t limited just to professional mediums.

Anyone can learn how to reunite and communicate with loved ones who have passed without any third-party assistance. You can reconnect with your parent, spouse, sibling, child, or even your pet at any time.

Since it’s a learned skill, it’s possible for you to do, as long as you have the necessary information, knowledge, and tools available to you. Everybody can do it. Some are lucky enough to do it professionally. Others have a specific calling to it. But with guidance, the proper tools, and lots of practice, it’s something that everybody can learn to do on some level.

Communication with the spiritual realm can occur at any time, so it doesn’t matter how long ago or how recently the person or pet with whom you want to connect passed away. In fact, you may have already received some signs.

Identifying how spirits communicate with you can give you a better idea of how your loved ones’ messages will come through to you.

Here are seven steps to reconnect with the spirit of your loved one:

  1. Open up to the possibility.

The first step to make a connection is to overcome your limiting beliefs and open all five of your senses to allow communication with the spiritual realm.

  1. Learn the various ways spirits communicate.

There’s a wide array of methods your loved one can use to contact you. Discerning which sign your loved one is using will take some work. Start your connection process by identifying which communication method your beloved will likely use. This will help know what to watch for when communication begins.

Spirits most commonly communicate with us in the physical realm through words and messages, acts of service, gifts, and quality time. Chances are that when your beloved person or pet was alive, they preferred one of these methods of communicating their love to you over the rest. This also is likely the method they’ll choose to connect with you now in spirit after their death.

  1. Know when a visit may occur.

Spirits will most commonly visit you when you’re alone, when you’re asleep and dreaming, before or during a memorable event, or during or after a stressful moment. Paying special attention to any signs you sense during such times makes it far more likely you’ll become aware of their presence and make a connection.

After you know when their spirit is likely to be present and the signs they’ll use to make their presence known, the next step is to breathe deeply, ground yourself, and ask if they have a message for you.

  1. Sense their presence.

Next time you see signs that your loved one’s spirit is present, or images of them appear unbidden in your mind’s eye, pause a moment and focus on what you’re feeling. Are you happy? Do you feel loved? Are you sad?

Sensing the energy presence of your loved one is a signal that you should ask if they have a message to share with you. People often sense the presence of their loved ones without realizing it. Observations like “Dad would’ve loved this party” are significant signs that they’re present in spirit.

Once you’re familiar with the signs to watch for and when spirits usually communicate, you’ve well on your way to linking up with the spirit of your loved one.

  1. Identify specific signs from your loved one.

Each spirit has a sign they use as a greeting. This serves to get your attention and inform you that they’re present to communicate with. The most common greeting signs are bodily sensations, flashes of light, misplacing items, finding items, and specific images or memories appearing in your mind’s eye.

To identify an occurrence as a sign from your loved one, you must know exactly what you’re looking for. To do this, understand the most likely communication methods available to your loved one. Then, ask your loved one for a specific sign to prove to you that they’re connecting with you.

  1. Accept the communication.

If you’re in a relaxed frame of mind when you sense their presence or notice signs they’re around, ask if they have any messages for you.

Your loved one isn’t in the physical realm anymore, so the voice they use to communicate with you now will likely differ from the voice they had when they were alive.

If you’re comfortable, you can even attempt to have a two-way conversation with them. Communicating with the deceased can help them process their loss, too.

  1. Seek confirmation.

If you’re not sure a message is reliable, you can request that your loved one sends the message to you again in a different way.

Dream Visits

Grief, a distracted mind, and all of the changes that occur after a death are just a few of the challenges of getting a clear message to you while you’re awake. If conscious connections are challenging, the spirit of your loved one may find it easier to visit you in your dreams.

Even during sleep, we remain aware, open, and receptive, so we often remember entire scenes that come through, making dreams the perfect opportunity to receive complete messages. So, if you aren’t making connections while you’re awake, consider dream communication.

To open yourself up to this technique, address your loved one by saying you’d like them to visit you in a dream. Dream messages usually don’t begin until at least six to eight weeks after a death. If it hasn’t quite been that long, just give it a little more time.
