Whether we've realized it or not, we've all had encounters with the Spirit World. You say, you've never seen a ghost? Well, let me tell you there is a difference between ghosts and spirits.
At least, this is my belief. Yours may be different and I am not going to dissuade you that your belief is not the correct one.To me, Spirits are the deceased that have returned to the other side upon their death. They have chosen to remain there instead of returning to another life.
A spirit can be a loved one who pops in now and again to check on you, a gentle reminder that you're not forgotten. A little nudge to let you know they are okay. If you're having a difficult time, they may pop by to give you a hug. You know that warm ball of energy that sometimes encases you in a blanket-type feeling? Could be someone has come to tell you, "it's okay,we'll make it through this rough time."
We all have Spirit Guides. They stand by us from the time we arrive in this world til the day we leave our physical bodies. Have you ever gone to do something and you possibly hear an inner voice say "don't do that?" or you get a feeling that you shouldn't go somewhere or do whatever you were planning to do? Did you ignore that voice or feeling? What consequences did you have to bear because you chose to do the opposite?That voice or feeling was your guide trying to keep you from harm's way.
If you haven't learned to pay attention to that voice, or feeling, perhaps now is the perfect time to start.Perhaps you've sensed or felt that someone is next to you, but no one is there. This could also be your guide or a spirit.
Now, ghosts on the other hand, I believe are spirits of the deceased that have died by traumatic or unexpected, sudden means. They may be afraid to cross over or they decide that there is still business that needs to be taken care of before they leave this dimension.
Is it possible they can't leave until the person who caused them harm is caught? Or that they let a loved one know where that really important information is? Perhaps it's just to say I'm sorry or I love you. I don't know the answers to these questions. I do know these are all possible, probable explanations. Is it possible they just loved it here so much that they don't want to leave? Again, why not?
As you relax and let your mind drift, perhaps you'll recall a time or two when you've felt a light touch on your shoulder, or the whisper of a kiss on your cheek. Seeing an apparition in the middle of the night can be quite startling. Just remember that they can't hurt you. Ask them what they need - can you help them? Perhaps you can pass on a message to help lighten someone elses day.
There are a lot of questions we ask regarding Spirits or Ghosts. Sometimes you find an answer, sometimes you don't. Try listening for your Spirit Guide throughout the day. It is amazing what you may here, or see.
As the time grows closer for All Hallows Eve, ghosts become more popular especially with the younger generation. They may roam the cemeteries trying to get a glimpse of one or two. Haunted tours that don't normally operate start up, leading people around to see all of the haunted locations. This is all done in fun.
For some of us, Ghosts and Spirits are real and, for me, should be treated with respect. You never know what they may teach you.
Until next time,
Blessed be
