Hi All

This thread (and several others) are about us sharing and learning together on our spiritual journey. It is an open space for open minds, so please feel free to come and chat and share your thoughts/stories.

The main book we have been discussing is The Celestine Prophecies book by James Redfield.

Will make mental note to get it from the library. I get the general idea that it is about synchronicity/coincidence (?) - something I strongly believe in. But hey, I believe in some pretty wierd stuff

Morning Ladies,
I am feeling v. all over the place had bizarre converstaion with someone which was quite similar to Sibble about what to do with people who want too much and if people drain you. I have decided not to see / talk to people who drain me at the moment I have not got the strengh of mind at the moment to project positivity so will avoid if possible until re invigorated. Melsy Has your crystal turned up yet? Papillon how are you ...

sibble · 15/04/2004 07:46

hi gothicmama - that is the tack I am taking too, avoidance, couldn't decide if it was a cop out but like you say, am too tired and basically it's is too much like hard work to try to be positive about it. am off for dinner but will log on later to see if anybody is lurking...

Morning all

- protecting oneself or avoiding the bad vibes picked up or encountered by others -

Seems like there is abit of a common theme going at the moment here as several of us have recently experienced negative energies.

So would everyone care to talk about it abit more? Like what we all can do to raise our energy and ways to avoid getting entangled in dramas which leave us feeling limp.

Hello Snugs the quiet lurker
Nice to have a witch come and visit! I used to be a practising witch - but now I am just a lazy one. If I had to choose a label for myself - pagan it would be.
Glad to hear you like this space and look forward to more visits from you.
You sound as though you know alot about Meditation, Visualisation etc. We am sure we would all enjoy hearing about what works for you. Any tips from the perspective of protecting ones space - circles etc.

Gothicmama - you early bird you!! I was one myself this morning. Dd awake at 5.20am. Hope your essay is coming along.

hi snugs, very rude of me not to also welcome you to this thread, would be really interested to hear your contributions, all welcome.......
hi everybody else, had dinner and back temporarily, DS is up late tonight but need to put him to bed in a minute. would be interested in further discussions on protecting yourself from and dealing with negative energies. Found myself completely drained last week by it all, with a 2 day migraine. I know I really don't respond well to it, my natural instict is to 'be aloof' and I am again making an effort not to withdraw. Maybe it had something to do with the full moon, it seems a bit of a coincidence that we were all affected in some way at the same time.

sibble · 15/04/2004 08:26

was also wondering if anybody knew about reflexology or feet, since being pregnant I have had intense pain in the ball of my right foot just under the toe next to the little toe (IYKWIM). have looked in my book and it doesn't seem to relate to any part of the body, closest I can find is the lungs, so have been focusing on them when doing self healing this week but any suggestions welcome.

Morning all and welcome Snugs,

Does anyone believe that spirits visit us? It's just that yesterday I could 'smell' my nana who died 20 years ago. My mam came to visit me yesterday and I mentioned this to her (nana's her mam) and she seemed comforted by this. I'm worried now though as I think she's visiting for a reason, making herself known to comfort me. My mam had me late in life (I'm one of 4) so she's 74 and I'm worried something will happen to her. We lost my sister last July and mam was very close to her so will never begin to get over it. I don't know maybe I'm reading too much into it but I am worried.

On a lighter note, DH and I managed to put the bunk beds up last night and the energy in the boys room is much better now. Does anyone else find this when they clean/de clutter?

My in laws are coming today so more housework to do I was going to be a lazy slob today but no such luck

Snugs · 15/04/2004 11:36

Morning all.

Juniper - spirits are with us constantly but tend to only make themselves known when needed. It could be that your nana wanted to give you support or maybe she couldn't 'get through' directly to your mum so passed on her comfort via you. It could simple be that you are becoming more able to recognise when spirit are getting in touch.

I sometimes get messages for friends before they visit - they are less open to spirit so I act as messenger.

Snugs · 15/04/2004 11:50

For protection against negative energies (and also at the start of visualisation and meditation sessions) I use a golden light.

Breathe deeply and calmly. Imagine a bright, glowing light above your head. It can be any colour you like but choose one that makes you feel calm and at peace. Gradually 'see' the light coming down over your head, shoulders etc. Eventually the light will encompass you completely, as if you are in a bubble. Believe that nothing can penetrate the bubble that you do not desire to enter. Any negativity will bounce from it's surface.

If I am meditating I often use this as a mantra - "My faith assures that only positive may touch my being. I am safe and at ease in mind, body and spirit."

melsy · 15/04/2004 12:26

Snugs I got very emotional reading that description as my hypnotherapist gave me suggestion not unlike having a shield and what I vulaised and do is exactly as you have written !!! It is very powerful if practised often even when not required. I like your mantra very much. It is lovely to soeak to you again.

Sibble I also have had migraines the last couple of weeks. It is very very interesting we have all felt the same. Have you thought of trying the magnesium that was recommnede by a nutrional medicalist this week ??? , I have just been on the phone to a friend who recommended it to me when we first met 4months ago , but I didnt pay attention. I have just realised that I should have.

melsy · 15/04/2004 12:29

Juniper I also wanted to mention that I too get the smell discussed. It is my late grandfather, & I love that smell. Old sweet tobbacco pipes & aftershave. I saw a physhcic a few weeks ago and she described it exaclty it was wonderful. We had a conversation through her. I thought the same as you at the time , as my Nana is 82 and it was the anniversary of his death the following week. I dont wnat to make you feel worried , just that the feling may be normal to be anxious about it.

gothicmama · 15/04/2004 14:18

yes i am well thanks
you know I have been trying to think about how I protect my aura. I try and feel it and where there are holes.
Had a whole in it about 1.5 years ago. then I spent time sending that area energy and changing some aspects of my life. the hole is gone.!!

off now to enjoy the rest of the sun

Hi Melsy have u taken up lurking

OP posts:
juniper68 · 15/04/2004 18:41

Thanks snugs and melsy, I feel much better now. As I'm reading I can smell her. It's getting stronger. It was the smell of her home, a mixture of condensed milk and biscuits smell. She loved that in her tea with a dot of rum

My Mam, her friend and I are going to see a spiritualist on Sunday so maybe this could be the reason? Maybe at last she's going to give us a message?

Hi Juniper
Glad u are feeling more comfortable. I am sure sensing someone´s presence can be comforting. I always feel that way about my Granny when I feel she is close. She hasn´t for awhile now - but I always liked it when she was near.

OP posts:
sibble · 15/04/2004 20:34

I am also visited in times of need by an elderly woman who often comes with a smell resembling a field of flowers. Sometimes there is just the smell. As she has been around since I can remember she is comforting (apart from the hair stroking incident mentioned on the original thread of course)!!
Lately I have been 'feeling' and smelling my grandad who I was incredibly close to.

gothicmama · 15/04/2004 20:47

My nan visits me but I have never had a smell it is more of a feeling and an awareness she is there. I feel much more connected now, Dh had some bad news think I was picking up on this - strangely felt better after he had said

melsy · 16/04/2004 08:49
