Astrology: The art of using the position of the planets in
the heavens to understand the world around us. Most commonly
used to look at the character and destiny of individuals.
An ancient form of divination.
Auras: Auras are fields of energy, which
are found around every living thing. Auras will vary in colour
and density depending on the well-being of the subject, and
on the proficiency of the reader. (See
section on Auras.)
Chakras: Chakras are spinning wheels of
energy that allow psychic and spiritual development and spiritual
communication to happen.
Circle: This is the modern day format used
for spiritual development, i.e. people sit in circle to develop
through meditation and other practises. In circle spirit communication
is often established for the first time by the individuals
sitting in the circle.
Clairvoyance: In its most literal sense
this means ‘clear sight’, so a clairvoyant is
someone who sees clearly. A true clairvoyant will get pictures
in their mind’s eye that can provide very useful information
for the client.
Clairaudience is 'clear hearing' and clairaudients
hear spirit voices which guide them in their readings. Clear
hearing of spirit voices within the mind.
Clairsentience: This is a relatively modern
term to describe those individuals with a heightened awareness.
Clairsentients do not actually see or hear things, but are
able to ‘sense’. In days gone by, they were termed
‘Seers’.
Crystal Ball: A spherical glass or crystal
ball in which the seasoned practitioner can see pictures and
images. It takes most people a long time to train themselves
to see images, which can be both literal and symbolic. They
are often used as a focus for Psychics and Clairvoyants.
Divination: The true spiritual origin of
all fortune telling methods. In times gone by people would
ask if their intended actions had the blessing of the gods,
never just a plain ‘what is going to happen?’
Dowsing: Is the using of pendulums, rods
or other devices to divine for water, minerals, energy lines,
ley lines etc.
Ghosts: Are disincarnate spirits who have
not left the earth plane after physical passing for whatever
reason. There are many types of ghosts.
Medium: A medium is a person who is in
communication with spirit. An individual with the ability
to sense the other side and commune with beings. Someone who
contacts spirits of the deceased. In ancient cultures Shamans
used to do this, now in the West it’s the Spiritualists.
Rather than telling the future, they endeavour to provide
evidence of life after death, and messages from departed loved
ones.
Ouija Board: This is an old Victorian method
of communication with the spirit world. It is not a common
method of spirit communication in today’s society.
Poltergeists: This is a spirit that is causing
physical activity in a room or a building etc by his or her
actions.
Psychic: A psychic is someone who gets
impressions through non-rational means. This can be in the
form of visions, sounds, sensations and dreams. All of us
are psychic to some degree, and these abilities can be enhanced
through training and practice. A psychic can work with our
without spirit intervention.
Psychometry: This is the reading of an object
by its auric energy. This is a psychic tool. A Clairvoyant
or Medium will be able to get a spirit link often by holding
a personal item of the reader. The art of picking up impressions
by holding an item of personal value. Metal is popular, as
it is believed to store energy. Psychics can also get impressions
of previous owners. Wedding rings and keys are commonly used.
Runes: A Nordic system of fortune telling
that may have originated with the Vikings. Runes are traditionally
made from wood or horn, and the simple and evocative images
can give very direct answers to questions. They are often
used as a focus for Psychics and Clairvoyants.
Seance: An old fashioned word, which simply
means gathering together to communicate with spirit.
Spiritual Law: Spiritual Law is also known
as Karma and ‘the Tao’. Spirit Law is a series
of observations of how things work in the Universe. The word
spiritual stands for the life force that penetrates everything
and is mental, spiritual, physical and emotional. The Chinese
call it the law of the Tao; the way of things; a cosmic process
within which everything is a continuous flow of contraction
and expansion. This flow is called change. The Chinese observed
that when situations develop to the extreme they naturally
turn round and become the opposite (i.e. if you walk far enough
north you will eventually be walking south). This is seen
as an interplay between two opposites; however, a pair of
opposites is also seen as a unity; the conscious and unconscious
are a pair of opposites that are at one with each other. The
movement of Tao, or the way, is not a force that is put on
something but occurs naturally and spontaneously. Spiritual
Laws are not written down and can only be seen to work by
personal observation of situations; by looking at why things
happen inside and outside yourself; and looking into physical
life and beyond it to get a wider perspective of how and why
things work according to their own natural patterns.
Table tilting/Turning: This is an old method
of communicating with spirit which involves a number of individuals
sitting around a table linking and inviting spirit to communicate.
This is done by the moving or wrapping of the table by spirit.
Tarot: The Tarot deck is the forerunner
of our modern playing cards and consists of 22 Major and 56
Minor cards. There is much debate about their origin, and
their mysterious images still exert a powerful hold on our
psyche. They are often used as a focus for Psychics and Clairvoyants.
Telekinesis: Causing the movement of and
object by psychic forces. This is not done by spirit.
Trance: There are many forms of trance but
the state of trance allows spirit to talk directly through
the medium.
Transfiguration: The mediums features change
to that of the spirit communicator. |
