We believe spirits are always around us. The energy of crossed loved ones stays with us once the soul of the person has crossed over. Many people use psychic mediums to connect with a crossed loved one’s energy. But, you don’t always need to use a psychic medium for the energy to come through. There are ways to recognize spirit energy around you.

Halloween is generally considered the time of year when the veil between the earthly plane and the other side thins. This should make communication between the dimensions easier.

Some indicators spirits are near:

1. Are you seeing butterflies? A Chinese legend indicates that if you see a butterfly, a soul has come to visit you from the other side of the veil. If the image of a face flashes into your mind when you see a butterfly, that may be a sign from a loved one that has passed to the other side.

Valentine's Day may mean different things to different people at varying stages of their life.  When you are a child, Valentine's Day may be an exciting day because you get to give and receive cards from your friends.  As you mature, the day may take on a different meaning.  It may provide an opportunity to express love or receive an affirmation of love.  This may be romantic or just friendly.  If you have loved ones that like to participate, this might be another day to share and celebrate your love. 

A psychic medium is a reader who picks up on a spirit's energy. A psychic medium uses the energy to pick up on symbols, feelings and thoughts to give the person being read information. Generally speaking, psychic mediums read current energy. They give information in the here and now as opposed to the past, present or future with a clairvoyant reader. 

It is quite the wonderful feeling to have a crossed loved one appear to communicate and let you know that their presence is around you during a dream. These dreams can be very vivid and can include raw emotions. They can also give a sense of peace and/or provide comfort. These dreams can also have you relive the nightmare on how you lost them. When you wake up, there can be a sense of peace or an uneasy feeling or even sadness.

Halloween is a fun time of year.  We think of trick or treat, goodies, goblins, witches, pumpkins, and costume parties.  Paranormal experiences may also be on your mind.

A fairly commonly reported paranormal experience may involve Deja vu.  Deja vu is a French phrase that generally means, "already seen."  It is usually recognized as the experience of recollection.  Have you entered a place that is supposedly new to you and had that funny feeling of familiarity?  That recollection (whether it makes sense or not) is commonly referred to as Deja vu.

This time of year is extremely difficult on everyone. But to those who live alone and do not have a place to go on the holidays, it can be almost unbearable. There are a few things one can do to help feel less lonely during the holiday season. 

A Ouija Board is usually a flat piece of wood which has numbers from 0 - 9, all the letters of the alphabet and a Sun and Moon symbol. It also has a triangular shaped instrument called a planchette that glides across the board and spells out answers to questions from the participants.
