A knowing - knowing that something has or is going to happen - seeing into the past or the future.
Seeing - in your mind what is or has happened.
Sensing that something is going to happen (that gut feeling).
Hearing the voices of yours and other peoples guides in your mind, sometimes you will hear them out loud, not usually though.
Channelling of another soul or being - sometimes allowing them to come into your body and speaking or channelling messages through for another person or speaking them out loud or writing them down.
These are people who see and communicate with people who have passed over.
This is a person who sees, feels, hears, knows about a person's personal life. Some people use tools like tarot cards, crystal balls, tealeaves, etc.
A healer helps you understand why an illness has manifested, as in helping you heal yourself. Whether it is by giving you healing energies or balancing your energies. There are many different ways.
Tarot Cards; One of the most favoured tools, they can tell the past, present and future, give spiritual readings, affirmations. Very good tarot readers actually don’t need the cards, it is something for the client to focus on. The cards give a reading in the combination that they come out in. Your vibration is put into the cards when you shuffle them. A knowing is what is the reader has and a clarity of vision, a good one that is. I have known many and few are the real thing. Many generalise in a round about way, and depending on what you want to hear you can make it suit. Word of mouth is how you find a good reader. Also find one who will give you the type of reading that you want, some give spiritual readings and if you want to see what is happening in your future you will be very disappointed. Ask.
Anyway you can take a class and teach yourself how to read the cards and answer your own questions. You will get an idea of how they work. For a full reading though it is best to go to someone else because, if you don’t like the reading that you do for yourself you will disregard it, even if it is correct. Most professional readers go to someone else.
Tea Leaf readings; these readers use the same knowing that the tarot reader uses, except they are looking at tea leaves and the patterns that are formed.
Flowers; a vibration is felt and the stem and petals tell a story, how they are shaped, how the stem looks and how it was broken off. Smell and shape. They relate to the person who has picked it.
Psychometry; peoples vibrations that are left on an article, it needs to be the person’s that you are reading, if it was a grand mothers article, that is who you will pick up on. I see words and pictures and you need to say what you see, however strange it may be.
Pendulums; these really are a personal tool to work with. They can answer yes/ no questions, they can tell you not at this time or don’t know. Mostly I have found them accurate. The intent of the question needs to be very accurate to get the answer you want. They can give you confirmation on something you need to know. They are quick and easy to use. I will show you how to use them in a later chapter.
Crystal Ball; or scrying . This is where you concentrate on a crystal ball or a bowl of water, if you have the gift you will be shown pictures. The person reading the crystal ball has the same type of knowing as a clairvoyant usually.
Palmistry; is a reading of the palm, your life is in the palm of your hand, usually the hand read is the one you write with, the other hand is what you were supposed to be doing this life and the hand you write with is what you are doing. Good palmists can very accurately tell you about your personality and the trials you have had in your life and what is coming up. Love, health, child hood, how you handle finances and many other things.
Runes; are stones or cards with symbols on which have meanings pertaining to your life. Stones are read like cards.
I-Ching; uses a series of coin flipping which land in patterns, these give the strokes which are interpreted for the reading.
Crystals; choosing crystals and dropping them on a cloth, these tell you emotions and where you are in your life.
Numerology; is working out of your numbers in your birth date and changing your original name into numbers. This is extremely accurate, it can tell you many different things about yourself. There are a few different numerology patterns used. Find the one you like. A good book on numerology will tell you all you need to know.
Astrology; is the working out of the stars and planets at the time you were born, Your zodiac sign and how it relates to you. Astrologers can do a chart for you, it will tell you a lot of things about yourself all at once. Your life path.
There are all types of different tools for different readings, like the Aura Soma cards that you pick by the colours you are attracted to, which can be done on a daily basis.
Personal growth cards which will tell you something you should focus on for the week.
Posters with patterns on which you look at and see what attracts your attention, the pattern you choose has a deeper meaning which is something you should be looking at for the day or week.
Many different tools are used by different people all the time, new ones are being brought into practise.
With any type of reading you have done you will find it is for reassurance that something better is coming or guidance as to where you are going with your life.
These are only touched on by some people. They are becoming more and more widely used and talked about. Specially in holistic healing. These are the energy centres of the body. Most people use the seven major ones:
| Base Chakra | on the tailbone |
Red |
| Sacral Chakra | two cm below the belly button |
Orange |
| Solar Plexus | under the rib cage |
Yellow |
| Heart Chakra | between the breasts |
Green |
| Throat Chakra | on the front of the throat |
Sky Blue |
| Third Eye Chakra | between the brows |
Purple/Indigo |
| Crown Chakra | on the crown of the head |
Violet |
People who can see auras can sometimes see the Chakras. They can change colour when emotional things happen, blockages occur and illness emotional or physical are present in the body. Many healers check these as they work on you as they give a clue as to what your problem may be. They give Emotional or Physical information.
| Base Chakra | Physical | Spine and legs |
| Emotional | Standing up for yourself | |
| Sacral Chakra | Physical | Bowel and bladder and women’s problems |
| Emotional | Security problems, worry of money, house, job and sexual | |
| Solar Plexus | Physical | Stomach. Liver, indigestion and ulcers |
| Emotional | Nervousness, anxiety, bitterness, fear, rejection | |
| Heart Chakra | Physical | Heart, lungs, and chest |
| Emotional | Grief, heartache, Trust | |
| Throat Chakra | Physical | Mouth, throat, Neck |
| Emotional | Vocal expression, holding back of tears, criticism | |
| Third Eye | Physical | Brain, ears and eyes |
| Emotional | Feelings of inadequacies, self evaluation | |
| Crown Chakra | Physical | Movement of the body |
| Emotional | Spirituality, faith and devotion, values |
Crystals, pendulums, energy and meditation can achieve balancing of these Chakras.
Crystals balance the Chakra through the vibration of the stones.
Pendulums can be used in a couple of different ways. Either by putting the pendulum above or in front of the Chakra it also depends on how you have programmed your pendulum. If you have programmed it to swing in a circle when the Chakra is out of balance it will swing as it moves over a Chakra until it is balanced and then it will stop. The other way to program your pendulum is to not swing when the Chakra is out of balance and for it to swing in a circle when it is balanced.
Energy can be channelled into the Chakra to balance and clean. A healer of some type usually does this.
Meditation – Usually guided can cleanse and balance the Chakras. Tapes can be brought or made which can talk you through the whole process. Or you could go to a mediation class, which will show you how to do this.
Meditation is a good way to get in touch with the Chakras, the activating and cleansing, the opening and the closing. You see them opening like a flower and spin like a wide-open flat daisy and close again when you have finished.
There are many other ways of balancing them. Those are only a few of the ways you can balance them. When you find a way you like practise having a look at them each time you meditate. If any go out of balance you may feel depleted of energy, teary or out of sorts. These are our energy centres it is like an unbalancing of car tyres. If you are going through an emotional time they may unbalance on a daily basis until you are strong enough in yourself to not let it happen. Looking to see if they are balanced once a week would be a good thing. Sometimes they appear sluggish and need a burst of energy to spin. Bring in some white light to cleanse and give a burst. I usually start them spinning and bring white healing light up from under my feet and up through my body and let it pour through the Chakras cleansing them and letting them spin the negativity out from the cells and tissue in the body. See them all spinning with bright vibrant colours.
Auras are the energy fields, which surround your body. These also can be used to see how well you are. You can clear your aura by cleansing it with white light; it reaches out from around your body. You could imagine hosing it off with white light until it is sparkling clean. Things like negativity, and needy mischievous spirits can latch on to your aura and stay there until they find a better place to be. The clearing of the aura like washing the sheets keeps it clear and clean. It helps your spiritual body keep healthy.
It is layers of energy, which go out from the body; they can be different colours, like a rainbow.
Your Aura can get very cloudy and grey; also they can get holes in them. These cause energy drains, mental, emotional and physical. Energy surges within your body and stress can cause them. You can check your aura to see if it has any leaks and fix them also. If you scan over a person’s body with your hand you will feel it as a depression coolness or a void – close it also by seeing it close. A good spiritual healer can detect and fix them. See the energy stretching out and closing the hole, mending it into a seamless sheet.
