Do you feel your guides, or loved ones in spirit, around you?

[Nemofish]

I have always felt family members who have passed away, I feel them around me and sometimes I 'hear' them. Very rarely have I physically seen them, but I have often seen them in my mind's eye, as it were.

I have only in recent months felt my guides (those not related to me) and only 'saw' one of my guides a week ago and he had some interesting things to say.

So that's me. How about you? What different ways do you percieve your guides / loved ones? How do you know when they are with you?

time to hide this topic methinks

Hi, Nemo,

I'm not psychic so don't really have much experience of sensing my loved ones. However, a few weeks' ago I suddenly got some very strong impressions from my grandparents and I could feel them both really close to me. I didn't get any communication as such but I could 'see' them in my minds' eye, healthy and happy like they were in old holiday photos from the 60's. I'm not really sure why but I felt that they were telling me that they are happy to see what I'm making of my life now.

In terms of guides, I've always had something in my life - as a Christian I called it by a name that went with that - but then one day it left abruptly, which partly signaled the end of my faith. Now I work with angels and channel them through writing and use angel cards for readings for myself and others. Oddly though I started to channel angel messages that gave guidance from Jesus, which really freaked me out (and proved to me that I wasn't making it up, becase I thought that part of my life was done and dusted.) Now I regard Jesus as a guide and teacher. I'm very drawn to paganism too and have learned a lot from reading about Buddhism and Taoism. I meditate and use visualisation, and on my home altar I have Jesus, the Buddha and a very pregnant earth mother!

I've brought all of this into my work now and run a spiritual website for mums, including an e-course,(it's over on Classifieds), and I'm just getting an angel website up and running.

i frequently can `hear' my mum talking to me - often when i am just drifting off to sleep. Or sometimes when things are tough with my dad (as they have been frequently over the last 3 years) an idea/solution will just pop into my head that i would never have the insight to suggest but she would have. DH says its just that connection that mother and daughters have but i disagree as we were never that well connected when she was alive. I like to think its her still meddling in our lives from the great beyond!

I swear that when i was in hospital having just had DS she popped her head round the curtains at 3am.

I often can hear here saying too you dont need any more coats!!' (i have a thing' for buying coats) but that could just be my guilt!!

Some very interesting replies!

hogshead - first time I heard my nana, I was looking around my pit bedroom, and I heard her voice clear as a bell - 'Well he's alright (my much tidier husband) - but you're still a messy bugger!' No words of wisdom from beyond the veil then nana, just popped through to critisise my housekeeping?!

spiritmum - I have had a look at your ad and website - do you have room for one more? I've got a quid somewhere...

Definitely, Nemo - I'd love to know what you think

lol at your nana

She was a funny lady - I did a reiki course the other week and I 'heard' her say 'I can't sit in this chair, it's too low, I won't be able to get out of it again!' Erm Nana I don't think that's going to be a problem!

Have done the 'contact me' bit on your website.
