Other Paranormal Phenomenon

Past Life Regression -
I believe that people have lived past lives, myself included. I have
never done a past life regression but I would love to. However, I do
have a little knowledge of a past life. When I was visiting my aunt
(the one who taught me about paranormal stuff), she asked me if I knew
someone named Sarah. I said that I had a friend whose daughter's name
was Sarah. She said nope, this person is not among the living but has a
message for you. My aunt showed me how to communicate with Sarah. This
is what I got: Sarah was my daughter in my past life. I lived in the
same town I grew up in in this life. My best friend, Mel, was also my
best friend back then, too. I learned that Sarah died in a fire. I kept
seeing 3 mean men around her and she was very scared of them. I am
still not sure who those men were, but they were not friendly. When I
got back to IL, I told Mel about Sarah. As I did this, I got a very
clear image of Sarah and at that same moment, Mel did, too. I asked her
what she thought Sarah looked like and her description matched what I
saw!! Sarah was about 6 or 7, long blond hair, dressed in an 1800s type
dress. I have not seen or communicated with Sarah since this time (1991
- 1992). If you would like to learn about past lives, you can have a
hypnotherapist hypnotize you or you can learn how to do it yourself. I
have not tried either, but I want to!

Automatic Writing - I
have tried doing this, and my suggestion to anyone who wants to do it
is to make sure you put a protection light around you. You do not want
to get unwanted spirits. It does work, though. Kind of creepy.This is
used mostly if you want to speak to your spirit guides or a loved one
who has passed. Basically, what I do (after the protection light) is
grab a pen or pencil and some paper. I then call for my spirit guide or
loved one I want to communicate with. I just barely touch the paper
with my pen or pencil and close my eyes so the pen or pencil does the
work. I open my eyes when I am finished to see if I can make out
anything. I usually can but sometimes it's hard because the writing is
so jagged and spirits are horrible spellers. You can also do this at
your computer.

Astral Projection - I have never done this, but I have always been interested in it.
In astral projection you remain attached
to your physical body by a silver umbilical type cord. Some people are
able to see the cord.. To astral project, as with all out-of-body
experiences, one must feel totally relaxed, wear comfortable clothing,
and reclining is best. You might want to cover yourself with a blanket
during this bacause the physical body tends to get cold when you travel
out.
When you astral project, you are consciously aware of things you
encounter while out of your physical body. Astral projection (or astral
travel) is an out-of-body experience achieved either awake or through
lucid dreaming or deep meditation. People who say they experience
astral projection often say that their spirit or astral body has left
their physical body and moves in another dimension known as the spirit
world or astral plane. The concept of astral projection has been around
and practiced for thousands of years, dating back to ancient China. It
is currently often associated with the New Age movement. (source: Crystallinks)

Dreams - I love
dreaming because it takes you to another place, perhaps even another
time. I usually have very vivid, realistic dreams, and I can normally
determine if it is just a dream or a message being sent by a higher
being, like my spirit guides. Dreams usually contain symbols that
represent certain things. For example, on several occasions I have
dreamt about my teeth falling out, which is a very normal thing to do.
This means that sickness or death is near. Yeah, that's reassuring. For
more on dream symbols, visit Dream Dictionary.
I have had dreams of past lives, too. In one very vivid dream, I was
sitting at a vanity. My hair was up in ringlets and I was getting ready
for something ( no idea what). I looked very much like I do now...just
a little different. My husband stood behind me and told me I looked
beautiful. I could not see his face in the mirror though. But my attire
and hair style was 1800's southern belle type.
Prior to that in the early 90s, I had a dream where I came to a bridge.
On the other side of the bridge was a castle. I was debating on whether
or not to cross the bridge. I was on a horse. That's all I saw. Nothing
major, but it really stood out. I have always been highly interested in
England and castles, so maybe this was a glimpse of my past life.
When I was pregnant with my first child in 1993, I had dreams about
Native Americans. In one dream in particular, I was walking through a
village. I could see the teepees and the indians as I walked past them.
I never spoke to them at all. I kept walking until I was no longer in
the village. As I got over a hill, I saw the U.S. Cavalry. They were
heading toward me and the village. When they past me, it was obvious
they could not see me, but I turned around toward the village and felt
such a huge amount of sadness, because I knew the village and the
people would soon be gone.
Some dreams help you see the future. I get these sometimes and only
when the event actually happens is when I remember the dream. I used to
keep a dream diary, but that is so hard to do when you wake up in the
middle of the night. My first instinct is to just go back to sleep. If
you want to keep a dream diary, grab a notebook, pen and a book light.
Keep them on your night stand next to your bed. Any time you wake up
from a very vivid dream, record the date, time and dream in your diary.
This will allow you to go back and reflect on them in the future. Did
you know that if you awake from a dream, you can go back to that same
dream? As soon as you wake up, stay in the same position you were in
when you woke, then go back to sleep. I got this idea from a friend a
long time ago, and it actually works. Not necessarily all the time, but
it can happen. Try it!

Spirit Guides -
Everyone has spirit guides who guide and protect them through their
time on the physical plane...guardian angels, if you will. You can even
communicate with them. I have not tried to do that yet, but I am going
to learn how to do it. They are not with us all the time, but if you
call for them, they will come to you. Communication with them can occur
while daydreaming or meditating.
