Frequently asked questions

How can knowing about human energy help me in my life ?

Many people are concerned with improving their health and employ many different methods such as diet, exercise and various stress-reduction measures. All these means enhance the production of energy within the body. By nourishing the body with a better diet, the organs will be able to produce the energy they require to function optimally. By exercising the physical body, we release toxins and enhance blood flow, bringing nourishment to all the parts of the body. Additionally, exercise focuses the mind and this, by increasing the speed of energy flow through and around the body, vitalizes the energy envelopes surrounding our organs. By reducing stress, though relaxation, meditation, or whatever method, the mind is quieted to some degree and, as a result, the energies flowing through the body will follow suit. The result is a better functioning body, more resistant to illness and better able to heal. However, there is another very important aspect to human energy dynamics which can help us understand why the body sometimes gets sick and does not heal.

What most people don't know is that thought is energy, and energy has to go somewhere. It is either focused outwardly or inwardly. Thought, in other words "mind energy", is focused outwardly when we use it for example to solve a problem or express an opinion or feeling. When, on the other hand, we worry, replay disturbing scenarios, feel guilty, or get stuck in other kinds of mental ruts, that energy is focused inwardly, in other words, it is internalized. When the mind energy is focus inwardly, it accumulates inside our bodies to form pockets of energy, or energy blocks, and these pockets, by obstructing our energy flow, can prevent our body from healing.

Why do spirits try to communicate with us?

People can be contacted by (a) spirits in transition, (b) ghosts (otherwise known as mind-set spirits), or by (c) karma spirits.

Spirits in transition are those who remain in the physical world for a brief period of time, usually to communicate with a loved one. For example, a mother may want to make certain that her children are going to be all right before she moves on. In some cases, they may be unable to move on because of the inability of their loved ones to let them go.

Ghosts usually remain in the physical realm for much longer periods of time. They can be people who refuse to believe they are dead, or those who cannot find their way to the next realm, or those who become locked into a "mind-set" because of psychological difficulties. Ghosts or mind-set spirits try to communicate in an attempt to reach out to other people either for help, information, to ask for forgiveness, or to create a disturbance for whatever reason. Everyone has heard about haunted houses. They are haunted because a spirit refuses to leave the physical world and move on to the next. Perhaps she still believes it is her house and resents the intrusion of other people.

When karma spirits communicate with us, the reasons are entirely different. The karma spirit has no personal need to communicate, but in the process of fulfilling his service, or "karma", he works as a guide to help humans protect and maintain life. In that role, the karma spirit will use whatever means necessary to communicate with us.
