Spirit Night (Friday Night Meditation 3-25-2011)

You might wonder why this blog is called "Following a Path on our Placemat."  Well, it's not because I suffer from dissociative identity disorder.  It's because this is actually a blog with several different authors.  The others just haven't had a chance to come by yet.  The real purpose of this blog is to share the experiences of our Mental and Physical medium group here in Central Illinois with the rest of the world.  The group is still very young.  The core members, who have been around the longest, R. and myself have only been in group together for about a year and a half.  D. and K. are our two more recent members.  D. has become a very welcome part of our group.  She brings so much to us, especially experience.  She has such an extensive knowledge of spiritual matters that I feel I always learn from her during our Spirit nights.

Friday, March 25, only R. and I were in attendance at C.'s house.  C. doesn't come to our Friday night meeting because he joins another group during the week.  R. and I went upstairs to the special room where all the groups meet during the week.  The room is filled with palpable spiritual energy.  There is a red light bulb hanging from the fixture in the ceiling.  We like to start the night by welcoming the spirits who are there to help us on our path and by letting them know what we hope to accomplish that particular night.  R. turned on his mp3 player and music filled the room.   We sang along with the music, laughing and joking, and watching the dark for signs that spirit was around as our moods were uplifted.  We like our vibrations to be at the highest level before we start working on what we wish to accomplish each night.  Some nights we leave the music on nonstop because we are sitting and watching for physical phenomenon.   That can be a number of things.  We might watch the transfiguration of each others faces, see light dance around in the dark, watch an orb float past our heads, see humanoid figures appear, or hear tapping in the form of responses to questions.  I know many people would say, don't be silly, the tapping you hear is just the house settling.  It's more than that.  This is tapping that occurs specifically when we ask for it to happen.  It would be one thing if the sounds were constantly present.  They're not.  I'm talking about taps, bangs, and bumps that happen within a scant moment of us saying, "If any spirits are around, could you please make a sound for us?"  Then we ask to verify and another sound is again heard right away.  It's like in the movies where the paralyzed protagonist is asked to blink once for yes and twice for no.  Sure, they blink at other times when no one is around asking questions.  The important thing is that they do blink when the time comes for a question. 

On this last Friday, R. and I decided to start with mental mediumship.  This is used to connect with each others passed loved ones and spirit guides in order to bring messages.  It's good practice for the goal I have set which is to be able to connect with people's loved ones so that they know they are still around and that they are in a safe place.  Friday, I sat in the chair a couple of feet from R. and meditated about him.  I opened my mind to any message that spirit had to share with me.  The messages can often sound crazy but it's not my job to judge them as right or wrong.  The first message I got was visual.  I saw a person in glowing white pushing on R.'s right shoulder.  I realized that it must be bothering him.  The other message I got was one that I could have ignored, but didn't.  I saw a frog in a classroom.  It was a pet frog and it was wearing clothes.  I wrote both visions down and shared them with R.  He confirmed both of them.  The first one was accurate, he had been sitting there with an aching shoulder and hadn't mentioned it to me.  The second one was more clever and came from, I think, a spirit with a sense of humor.  He told me that he had joked around with one of his young students that she should dress up like a princess frog.  My getting a vision of a frog in his classroom wearing clothes must have been a message from spirit that someone was around him at that time.  I wasn't sure who was watching over R. whiled he taught his students but I do know that we all have an entire group of spirits who travel with us as we journey through life.  These are our angels, archangels, spirit guides,and our loved ones who have already crossed.  There are no "bad" spirits with us because in order to be with us the spirits have to match or exceed our vibration.  Keeping yourself in a positive and uplifted mind is the best way to ensure you are surrounded by beings of love and light.   

R. then started a reading for me.  He is clairaudient, which means that he hears the voices of spirit in the exact same way you hear the cashier at your favorite store.  He asked me to think of a question so I asked for news on my husband's youngest brother who passed away when he was 25 years old.  Unfortunately not much information would come through and R. is too honest to make anything up.  Sometimes C.'s upstairs room is not the best place to try and connect with individual spirits because there is so much energy in the area.  I changed the question to ask the spirit what should I do with my life now.  Many messages came back with the strongest one being that I should write a book.  I looked at R. puzzled.   It had been years since I had thought seriously about writing a book.  "Write about what you know", he told me.  I shook my head at him, still not convinced.  I am very knowledgeable about one subject, but could it be the topic of a book?   The next morning while I meditated the outline of the book came to me.  I explained it to my husband, getting more and more excited as I realized that, as long as I put the effort into it, I could get a novel out of my idea.  He even liked it and he is not one to praise anything unless he sincerely enjoys it.  I guess this means I need to write down some notes and get started on my book. 

Light and Love,
