Contacting Spirits
By Mariah Prosper
A special class I teach for Halloween
Have you ever wondered why at this time of year, we feel more ‘spiritual happenings’ and ‘ghost hauntings’ around us? This cycle of the earth bring us around to the ending of cycles. The cold season of Winter-the death of the earth- is forthcoming, and it seems as though the shadows are moving. There is a realm of life around us that is usually invisible to us, except to those with "vision". This time of year reflects the thinning of the veil between the worlds of life and "afterlife". More people respond to suicidal tendencies, depression, anxiety, lack of energy and less enthusiasm for life , as it were.
All Saints Day, Halloween, Hallowmas, Samhain, Day of the Dead, (October 30-Nov.4) is the time when the veils are thinnest and the "dead walk amongst the living". (The veils are thin also around Beltane , May 1-2). In our minds, we think of people that have passed on, friends we haven’t seen for years, our dreams are tormented with various horrors and weirdness that we do not understand. We see ‘things’ out of the corner of our eye--we feel a presence that we cannot see and death silently calls to certain areas of our life------things that must end. This is the end of harvesting season, the end of the growing year, for us and the earth. This is a time of Revelation/Initiation--into another life--as it is also for those who have died and remain here, trapped or of service to family or friends.
Why do souls or spirits become "trapped" in between worlds? Depending on the condition of spiritual matters in a person’s life when they die; determines what happens to them after life. Those who lead a good life (depending on motives for that good life), usually do the white light thing and find their place in another ‘life’.
Those who die violently or suddenly--sometimes, do not realize they have crossed over and remain in an alternate reality to the one they left. If they were spiritual or generally good in this life, chances are they sooner or later have the realization of the transition and move on. Those who lead an unspiritual or turmoilous life, sometimes become trapped in between until someone releases them. Therefore; they hang around waiting or haunting , as it were. Many in this category who die, have unfinished business and just cannot leave until they are finished. Mothers, Fathers, siblings, etc. are known to stick around until certain events happen to release them or give them cause to move on. This could be whether the child grows up, or the family heals from the death, or they have made repentance for their guilt feelings of their life, etc.
Then there are those who were malicious in life and in afterlife hang on--caught in a kind of purgatory, wrecking havoc on the life of those who are easily susceptible to their energies. Suicide also traps a spirit/soul and until they can seek their own redemption for their act, remain trapped to find a way for forgiveness and release. Sometimes the suicide is caused because souls/spirits tormented the person into doing so. This happens to people with addictions of some sort--drugs, alcohol, depression, etc. In these cases, sympathetic elements are at play. More on this later.
Discarnate: Someone who leaves the corporeal body and remains in the earth vibrations. They remain due to fear, addictive energy, lack of knowledge, or the desire to stay and comfort a loved one. They may attach themselves to someone, who then becomes the host, and cause the host problems. Once there is an awareness of their presence they can be sent to their right place.
Discarnates are souls who have left the physical body, but not the physical vibrations of the earth plane. According to a variety of philosophies; After physical death the soul has 90 hours (more or less) to leave the planet. If they do not leave within that time, they are stuck and cannot escape the earth vibrations without help from an incarnated being. When a soul leaves the carnal body, they carry into the invisible realm with them whatever they have learned or experienced in the flesh. They are not suddenly enlightened beings that know all things, but are stuck at whatever mental, emotional, and spiritual level they attained in life. They carry with them any likes, dislikes, emotions, and beliefs that they had when they were in the human body.
Discarnates cannot harm us, but they can cause us to harm ourself. They enter our thoughts creating alternate realities, some feed on our fear and our fear can cause us harm. Everything is electricity/energy, so those in the astral can travel through the currents of electricity in our mind, body, emotions, house, car, telephone, computer, etc.
The one thing I must stress here is "HAVE NO FEAR", for fear is the only enemy we have. We are the receptive source for our own fears. Like attracts like and whatever you project, that is the type of spirits you will get or perceive , especially when the veils are thin.
One other thing about discarnates that I want to mention before we move on. When discarnates are discovered to be in the aura or in possession of someone, they are not usually deliberately destructive or harmful to the host. They may be stuck in earth vibrations because of an addiction to someone or something in the physical realm. They may be reluctant to go into the higher realms after death because of a fear of punishment or retaliation from God. Or they fail to move on because they don’t believe they are dead or they don’t believe in an after life. The discarnates can, however, cause difficulties for the host if the host is susceptible to their energy.
I had a shopper come into the store who walked with a definite limp. When I glanced at him, I noticed a dark shadow around his foot and leg area. When I asked my higher self what it was, I could see a being attached and hanging onto this person’s leg--like a small child that sits on our foot and rides while we walk. If you have children you probably know what I mean. Anyway, I asked the man what happened to make him limp. He explained an accident that happened several years ago, and after many surgeries and confusion from doctors as to why he had a limp after physical therapy that should have restored full function of his leg, he gave up and just accepted that God punished him for not paying attention while driving. Actually, the accident was not his fault--he had no choice. Anyway, I told him that I could see a small being attached and showed him where, and asked him if I could clear it. He agreed and immediately he had normal use of his leg. He became a regular customer after that and took every class I gave on healing techniques.
Now, lets discuss the sympathetic interplay between the living and the invisible realms of spirits and such.
Paracelsus was a sympathetic physician in the first part of the 1500’s. His doctrine was that illness was caused by influences that could not be seen. He did much research and discovery working with the realms of emotions, mind, and spirits. He incorporated Astrology, Alchemy, Kabbalism, Hermetics, and the Devic (nature spirits) realm into his basis of cures for ailments. He was quite successful and is known for many discoveries such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and treating certain diseases with mercury. He also introduced mineral baths to the public, which at that time, it was feared to bathe.
A great part of his work , both in diagnosis and treatment of obscure ailments, was founded in his doctrine of sympathies. The moral implication was that sympathy arises from a sharing of pain, misfortune, or tragedy. Only when we endure these things ourselves, can we understand the sorrows of those around us, and respond instinctively to the needs of the afflicted. Sympathy means a certain affinity or association, a kind of intimate relationship by which whatever affects one, affects in a similar way, others in whom this sympathy exists. It is a mutual or reciprocal sensitivity arising from correspondence in qualities, proportions, properties, or harmonic elements. The present concept is that sympathy is a correlation existing between bodies which are capable of communicating their vibrational motion to one another, usually through a medium of some kind.
Discarnates, spirits of nature, and harmful elements of thought, can and do have sympathy with us. Sometimes, these are a cause of the way we feel, our health, our ideas of others, even our thoughts. During this time of year we are more susceptible to the sympathies of those beyond the veils of this reality.
Now you might ask, "I don’t care to heal others, I’m just trying to fix my life. Why do I want to communicate with spirits?"
If you have had anyone close to you die recently, perhaps you could help to release them. Especially, if they have come to you for help. Perhaps, you have a friend with an illness or thoughts of suicide that just won’t go away, it could be sympathetic spirits that keep them where they are. Or, perhaps you have a lot of negativity in your home, malicious spirits could be attracted to that energy and haunt you while they feed on the energy that is available to them.
Children are very open and susceptible to these realms of reality. Children and adults too, have uncontrollable thoughts that could create thought form spirits that make a noticeable noise about the home and the person. You may need to communicate with these thought spirits to get any peace restored. Sometimes, a spirit may just be passing through, and can offer you help, especially if you ask.
To communicate effectively with the spirits or discarnates, you must be in control of yourself: otherwise, you could "open a door" and cause experiences that you could just live without. There are many ways and disciplines to get control over your thoughts and fears. Meditation is a very effective practice for centering yourself, and controlling your thoughts especially before spirit contact.

Ways to contact Spirits of any realm.
Dreams -There are many ways to make contact with discarnates, nature spirits, angels, guides, etc. One way is through dreams. As you lay down for sleep at night, focus on an entity that you want to contact. Do some deep breathing and relaxation to focus your mind. If necessary, journal the days events to clear your head in preparation for this contact. Call out to that being and request a dream contact in a manner that is comfortable to you, visualize, prayer, etc. Ask for guidance with your problems, or if a deceased loved one, ask for a visit with them. Keep this on your mind as you fall asleep. If your mind drifts off your purpose, just bring it back to the vision. Upon awakening, write down anything, symbols, thoughts, etc. before you get out of bed. If you don’t remember, try again the following night. Usually, by the third night, you will remember the dream.
Ouija board--I would not suggest this for this is really a dangerous way to contact spirits. There is no real control on what you get, for these boards, even though they are a game, do open gates to other dimensions where not-so-nice spirits and entities reside.
Commune with Nature Spirits
Mediumship and Channeling
Automatic Writing--there are several books on the market that go into detail on this subject.
Magic or Scrying Mirrors--with patience and practice, one can use for divination and many wide varieties of spiritual contacts. Be sure to purchase one that is handmade and properly consecrated or blessed. These mirrors are blessed for protection against the devious realms.
Shamanism--I learned a very effective way to help anyone channel beings. I can demonstrate, but I cannot teach you how, it is not in the beginners course.
