TANAAZ (Forever Conscious): “5 Things Connecting With Spirits Has Taught Me About the Afterlife”

I am not a psychic medium, but on the odd occasion I have encountered spirits from the other side. This has happened in readings and with people who are close to me.

Encountering a spirit from the other side is not scary. At least for me it has never been (and let’s hope it stays that way). If anything, encountering the soul of someone who has passed is extremely enlightening and touching.

Here is what I have learnt about death and the afterlife by the Spirits I have encountered-

1.) Death is Transformation

When you die, you are not gone. You don’t disappear into nothingness; there is no black hole of doom. Death is simply a change or transformation from one state into another. In fact, death is like the completion of a cycle.

When someone passes it is usually because they have completed all that they have needed to in physical form and need to return back to their true form, which is Spirit. They still exist, they are just different.

The one thing Spirits often want to communicate is that they are still around and still present in their loved ones lives. They often want to show that they are still there and are still part of all your joys and challenges.

What has changed however, is the way in which they are able to communicate and be with you. While they may not be able to walk alongside you in the physical sense, they are definitely there in the emotional and spiritual sense.

If you have lost a loved one, know that you can always reach out and connect with them. The style of communication may be different, but they are always there.

2.) Death is Predetermined

I believe and I have experienced, that most souls know when they are going to die. Even if it is not on a conscious level, I feel that on a subconscious level a soul knows when their time is up in physical form.

I have experienced this in my own life and feel that certain souls will let you know they are getting ready to pass as a way to “prepare” you. While it may not make sense at the time, after they pass you may be able to piece back the clues and messages that you received.

We all know that we are going to die, but death is also predetermined. This doesn’t mean that there is a stamp with the date of your death on it, but what it does mean is that once you have completed what you are here to do, you will need to undergo the transformation of death.

When it’s your time to go, it’s your time to go.

3.) Death is a Process

Like all change in life, there is a certain process to death. Death is not painful, if anything it is a euphoric feeling, maybe similar to that of an orgasm.

After death, the soul will cross into another dimension which is similar to what we know as “heaven”.

In the Sprit dimension, you are reunited with your loved ones, spirit guides and guardian angels, and are able to reflect back on the amazing impact of your life.

The Spirit world is an amazing, loving and inspiring place. Time does not exist in a linear fashion and communication is mainly done through the third eye.

There is also a “limbo” where stuck souls reside. These souls are often stuck because they don’t want to cross over or they are afraid of what will happen when they do. The souls often appear as ghosts rather than Spirit energy.

There are several dimensions, some of which have a lower vibration. Going to these dimensions is a choice, and not somewhere you are sent if you are “bad”.

4.) Your Thoughts Are Extremely Powerful

Your thoughts and feelings are extremely powerful and have the ability to create and shape the life that you lead here on earth.

Your thoughts also allow you to connect with your loved ones who have passed and your Spirit team.

Just by thinking consciously and whole-heartedly about your loved one, they will generally appear. You may not be able to see them of course, but thinking about them is the same as calling on them.

You can also ask your loved one to send you a sign or message that they are there with you. This will often appear through feathers, coins, hearing music and through your dreams.

You can also use other tools to communicate with Spirits which you can read about here, but if you are trying to connect with a loved one, your thoughts are powerful enough.

Sometimes Spirits are also “busy” and may not send strong signs or messages. I am not sure what these Spirits are busy doing exactly, but perhaps they are preparing for reincarnation or helping other souls.

5.) We Are All One

Karen Noe, a psychic medium connected with the Spirit of spiritual author and speaker, Wayne Dyer. She said that Wayne spoke of “We Consciousness” and that it is not “I Am” but rather, “We Are”.

We are all connected, so what we do to others we do to ourselves and the entire world.

We will never fully understand death until we get there. But if you take anything away from this article, understand that death is not “gone” it is simply a natural process of change and transformation that helps keep consciousness (us) growing.

THE MINDS JOURNAL: “5 Things Only An Old Soul Can Fully Understand”

Old Soul

Some people are just old souls and need to be accepted as such. If you are one of the people that gets called crazy for thinking you can feel people’s energy, or a hermit for needing to have time alone, or a ‘weirdo’ for believing in alternative things, the best thing you can do is continue to be true to yourself.

As an old soul, trying to conform to a society that is hollow and spiritually void will only cause you pain and suffering. Don’t let authority figures or institutions pressure you into betraying your passions, desires, and natural state of being.

Here are 5 things that only old souls will understand:

1. THE NEED FOR SECLUSION AND ISOLATION

Every old soul knows the extreme importance of taking time away from life, people, and obligation and spending time alone in isolation. Life can be overwhelming at times, and the energies of other people can be exhausting. Spending time alone in nature, or sitting by yourself on a park bench, or spending all day in your room are things which have become necessary for your spiritual health at times.

Some people may call you a hermit or say that you are socially challenged, but you just know the value of spending time alone to detox, reflect, and nurture yourself.

2. THE DESIRE FOR GROWTH

More than happiness and living comfortably, you want to live a life that encourages growth and expansion. You value growth and experience so much that you are willing to go through pain, suffering, and depression in order to learn more about yourself.

You take risks and go on adventures that other people may think are unwise, but playing it safe is just too boring for you. At the end of your journey here on earth, you would love to have experienced a life full of ups and downs, suffering and joy, and amazing adventures as opposed to having experienced a life playing it safe.

3. BEING HIGHLY OBSERVATIONAL AND INTUITIVE

From a young age, you have been able to get a really good read on people. From watching someone interact for just a few minutes, you are able to identify the characteristics that person would have and the lifestyle they live. It’s almost like you have this software that allows you to look around and download the information on other souls.

This is because you have seen the archetype of that person before in a past life and are familiar with the general behavior and psychology of that archetype. You have interacted with thousands of people throughout the course of your souls history, so there is really no archetype you haven’t interacted with yet.

This doesn’t mean you are judgmental, it just means you are observational. You may find yourself at parties or social gatherings looking around every once in a while checking things out. Watching people interact, observing the exchanges of energy that are occurring during conversation. You may even feel more comfortable as a distant observer than as a participant. It feels natural to you.

Having the ability to get a good read on people has also given you a really good bullsh*t detector. When someone is lying to you, you know it. You notice the disassociation in their eyes, the shift in their energy field, the change in the way they pronounce words. You’ve been through this place many times before, so you aren’t socially naive, even though you may have not had much social interaction in this life. You’ve always been hard to manipulate because you can see into the real intentions and desires of other people. You are just good at feeling people out intuitively.

Some people may call you creepy or think you are a wackjob for trying to be psychic, but it comes naturally to you to pick up on the thoughts and energies of other people.

4. THE REJECTION FOR ANYTHING ‘MAINSTREAM’

Mainstream music is heartless, passionless, and washed up. Mainstream media is polluted, biased, and deceptive. The mainstream lifestyle is dry, boring, and disappointing. Because you recognize this, you have adopted ‘alternative’ ways of thinking and living that may seen weird to other people.

Personally, I listen to a lot of atmospheric metal and post-rock because it offers me what I desire to receive out of music spiritually and existentially. I can’t stand the radio. I remember showing some people the music I liked and having them reply with “that’s not even music”. I’m sure I’m not alone in knowing what it feels like to feel excluded based on your alternative beliefs, tastes, and preferences.

5. THE APPRECIATION OF THE JOURNEY

You have learned to trust and appreciate the journey. You aren’t trying to be “deep”, you simply can’t help but be overwhelmed at times with feelings of gratitude, thankfulness, and humility.

You understand that life is impermanent and don’t take anything for granted. Others around you don’t understand why you like spending time in nature so much, why you meditate so often, or why you stare at the stars all the time, but that’s because they are simply too distracted with worldly matters to see the big picture.

If you identify with any or all of these 5 things, then you can be sure that you are either mature beyond your years or you have lived a life or two on this planet in the past. The vast majority of the human population does not understand these 5 things, and actually takes pleasure in ridiculing and making fun of those who don’t seem to fit in.

You aren’t trying to be different, psychic, intuitive, or deep. Your soul is just hardwired a different way. Don’t let anybody tell you that you need to change to fit the expectations of the world around you. The world doesn’t need more carbon copies. It needs more individuals following the things that make their souls come alive.

DYLAN HARPER: “Empowerment Through Sensitivity: The 10 Types Of Empaths”

10-Mind-Blowing-Theories-That-Will-Change-Your-Perception-of-the-World-1

Our sensitivity can empower us in ways we can’t quite understand. Find out what kind of an empath you are and how you can become a better person through simple awareness.

In today’s society, sensitivity is viewed as a weakness, which is kind of ironic because our sensitivity can be quite empowering.

So, how can we become empowered by a trait that makes us soft and delicate, in a world dominated by loud and overpowering people? Yes, it is true that many empaths may seem weak and even get overpowered, but there is another aspect to this sensitivity.

Deep down, way beyond the veil of our superficial personas, all empaths have something distinctly quiet and quite powerful. This power doesn’t dominate or overpower people but rather empowers one in an extremely useful way.

This gift allows empaths to benefit in the long term by gathering psychological, emotional, and physical information from their surroundings. This information is usually inaccessible to the unreceptive mind.

Although it is indeed correct that empaths cannot bully people or use brute force, they can however, protect, guide, heal, and deeply understand the people around them.

In this way, they can gather incredible amounts of information and how they use this knowledge is at their discretion. Knowledge is, after all, the greatest power.

Think You Are An Empath?

If you suspect that you are more sensitive than the people around you, then continue reading to find out if you too are an empath in an insensitive world.

If you really are an empath, you will recognize some of these experiences that are faced by most empaths:

You tend to absorb other people’s feelings and emotions and experience them as your own
You consistently feel mental and physical fatigue
Your emotional state tends to swing throughout a day based on external stimuli
If someone close to you is in physical pain, you can feel their pain in your own body
You cherish solitude, which helps you refresh and recharge
People prefer to come to you with their problems
You simply cannot bear violence or cruelty
You are naturally caring and nurturing
You are an excellent listener
Your awareness of our physical environment is greater than normal, e.g. your sense of taste, smell, hearing, touch, etc.
Crowded places tend to overwhelm and drain you
Animals and children seem to be attracted to you

Different Types of Empaths

Yes, being an empath can have many benefits, but at the same time, it can also weigh you down and cause anxiety. This is one of the reasons why it is important to understand our individual experiences in the hope to better understand ourselves.

The following is a list of different types of empaths and a small description to help you understand what kind of an empath you may be.

1. Physically Receptive Empath

Many empaths seem to be receptive to the physical pains and illnesses of other people. The pain can manifest in the empath’s own body – an ability which has proven to be extremely useful in healing.

2. Emotionally Receptive Empath

Almost all empaths are extremely receptive of external emotional states. This can result in physically and emotionally feeling other people’s emotions before they are expressed.

3. Claircognizant Empath

Claircognizant empaths have the ability to know if something needs to be done or if a statement of a person’s intentions is true or misleading, without any rational reasoning. Such empaths have the ability to know if they should do something or not.

4. Geomantic Empaths

These empaths have the ability to read signals and energy transmitted from the soil or earth. Meaning, they can feel if a natural disaster is impending.

5. Fanna Empath

Fanna empaths can feel, hear, and interact with animals.

6. Medium Empath

Medium empaths, as the name suggests, can either feel, see or hear spirits.

7. Flora Empath

Slightly similar to Fanna Empaths, as they can communicate with plants by being able to feel or receive their signals.

8. Psychometric Empath

These empaths develop the ability to receive energy, impressions, and information from inanimate objects such as jewelry, photographs, etc.

9. Telepathic Empath

Telepathic empaths can accurately read another peron’s unexpressed thoughts.

10. Precognitive Empath

Such empaths can feel a situation or event before its occurrence. These usually manifests in the form of dreams of emotional or physical sensations.

In this insensitive and coarse world, empaths can often find it difficult to maintain their inner harmony. But with self-awareness, everyone, including empaths, can learn to appreciate their unique gifts and abilities.

Hopefully, this article will help you find some answers to your questions. We would love it if you would share your experiences with us all.

KIRSTEN RENEE COWART: “Do You Have These 6 Psychic Senses?”

pineal-gland-600x372

Just like a river, spiritual information is constantly flowing by. Sometimes sensitive people naturally reach out and touch these rivers of information.

Sometimes these abilities are also related to radio waves where we tune ourselves to pick up different frequencies. This information is received by our higher or psychic senses and we typically are more dominant in one or two of these senses.

Some people who naturally tap into these senses can be a bit overwhelmed by it at first. It takes time and practice but it can become a controlled and even fun experience over time.

We have five main senses; sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. We also have psychic senses. Typically we align these with our 5 basic senses because it makes them easier to understand and to train. We also add in a 6th sense into the psychic sense list because there is a higher sense of intuition that is important when studying psychic abilities.

Psychic senses all start with the prefix of ‘clair’ from the French word meaning “clear”. We are going to look at Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Clairsentience, Clairalience, & Claircognizance.

1. Clear Seeing Is known as Clairvoyance.

This is the ability that is most widely known and is the ability where we use the third eye to see beyond what our normal eyes could see. Through meditation people are able to use this to remote view other places, other times and even see visions or glimpses of possible future timelines.

The level of detail seen depends on the skill. Just like some people have better vision than others, some people see in full detail and color while others just get glimpses of far off places and have to figure out what it means. People with Clairvoyance will sometimes become artists in order to express what they are picking up.

2. Clear Hearing is known as Clairaudience.

Clairaudience is the ability to hear beyond. Sometimes people hear music, words, or sounds in their minds that is beyond what we can normally hear. For example a song will get stuck in their head only to find out that their best friend has been listening to that song all day.

Often people with this gift will become musicians, dancers, singers, speakers, or writers. Sometimes their connection to music is so powerful that they almost have an out of body experience when listening to it. Their connection to the vibration and meaning of words can also be far beyond the average person.

3. Clear Smelling is known as Clairalience.

Clairalience is the ability to pick up smells that are beyond what is in the physical world. They may smell a particular cigar brand or perfume of a loved one and know that they need to give them a call.

They may also have an enhanced sense of smell and detect changes in the weather and predict coming storms. Sometimes people who are dominant in this ability will enjoy tea ceremonies, tasting wine or planting flower gardens.Share

4. Clear Tasting is Clairgustance.

Sometimes people are able to taste beyond what is in their food. For example someone might feel that their food in a restaurant tastes bad even though everyone else seemed to enjoy it. What they might be picking up is that the chef was in a bad mood and what they are tasting is the negative energy in the food.

Also they may pick up tastes of food their close friends are eating. Sometimes suddenly having the craving of a your grannies best cooking after she has passed can be a vibrational connection to the other side.

As you can probably guess people who are dominant in this area often enjoy cooking and trying exotic foods. They can practically taste the culture and history behind the food and can be very picky. These people are better at sensing harmful toxins in their food and even GMOs.

5. Clear Feeling is known as Clairsentience and also has strong ties to Empathic Abilities.

Clairsentience is being able to feel beyond into a friend or spirit. This is often recognised in twins when one gets hurt physically and the other one feels it. Sometimes mothers will suddenly just know that their child is hurt and even feel sore in their body where the child was injured.

6794975

The other side of this is the Empathic sense where emotions are shared. Have you ever been really upset and unsure why? Only to find out later that you best friend was really angry or upset? We are more sensitive than we think and can accidentally pick up what other people are feeling. People who are extremely sensitive in this area can be driving down the road, pass a complete stranger and get a rush of their emotions.

People who are dominant in these senses often look for ways to ease other peoples pain. They become healers, therapists, motivational speakers, and over all sensitive and understanding friends. If you have this sense you should check out our guide on how to protect yourself as an empath by clicking here!

6. Clear Knowing is called Claircognizance.

Claircognizance is knowing about events or people that you normally would have no way of knowing about. Such as knowing intuitively that someone needs help or that there is an earthquake happening on the other side of the world. Sometimes this gift will warn you that something is going to happen in the future so that you can be wise and prepare.

Though this gift can get a little confused with clairvoyance it is knowing on a deeper level than just seeing. Often this is linked to faith and divine guidance. Trust and follow your gut feelings and the flow will lead you to where you need to go in life.

Can I have all of the senses?

Yes. We have all of the senses, however, sometimes they are dormant or waiting for us to reactivate them. Sometimes we have had an experience or two in each of these areas but are taught to shrug it off as a coincidence. What we need to first do is to recognise and acknowledge that we are experiencing something real; then we will be able to strengthen the senses through practice and meditation.

Have you had any of these experiences? What other experiences have you had with you psychic senses? Let us know in the comments!
