This is such a fun topic! I have read Brian Weiss' books, and got very interested in past life readings. I have often times had vivid dreams of what I now know are past lives. One was as a young boy watching the carriages of the great czars pass by my village. The carriages were ornate with gold and jewels, they were so beautiful! Another one was being in a small jail cell with many other women, and we were doused with a flammable liquid and set on fire. It was horrifying, I am pretty sure it was during the times of the witch burnings. I was also a Native American chief who saw the coming of the white man and tried to warn the tribes of the danger. I was laughed at and ridiculed for what I saw and lived much of my life alone after that. I never saw the coming of the white man in my lifetime, from what I learned from a past life regression was that it was 400 years before they came. I had a very vivid dream of being Mary Queen of Scotts, and experienced her beheading. When I went to England this past summer, I visited Westminster Abbey and as I sat at her tomb I heard her say that she was me, and that my fears that trouble me in this lifetime started when I was her. I was asked to leave my fears there in the land where they started, and to move forward with courage.. I spent a lot of time at her tomb crying.. it was surreal. The topic of past lives is absolutely fascinating!! I love to hear what others have to share, this is great!! Blessings! Chel

Dear Cheryl, This is a great question! The Truth that I know, from studying under the Spiritualist Tradition, is that most people have four main guides that are with them throughout their lives. These are wise beings who have transcended the human experience, and are on their next level of spiritual growth by being a guide to humankind. This is why they are so very helpful, they fully understand being human and how to move beyond the limitations we all struggle with! :) There are also many other types of guides, animal guides, angels, and our loved ones who have crossed over come in to help as well. Verbena outlined many of the types of guides... we have so much help standing by at all times!! Blessings!! Chel 5153

Wow, it seems like a lot of people would like to know about spiritual and psychic development!! I have been a teacher of spiritual and psychic development for almost ten years, so please call me!! I probably should have that in my bio !! I am happy to assist!! Chel 5153

Hello Jacqueline, It is so wonderful to share with another Medium!! And yes, the loved ones on the other side do like to hang around after they have communication with loved ones on this side!! Sometimes they want to keep the connection. And this is often times because they know that they will communicate again through you. I have protocols that I use to disconnect, lovingly, and with respect, so that I can move on to my next client. And yet, to leave a lighted pathway back to thier Beloveds. Blessings, Chel

Hi Corrine!! It is interesting to be a child medium and psychic, isnt it? I have been seeing those on the other side since I was around two. The first I remember was a neighbors horse that had passed away..I woke up in the night and the horse was standing in my bedroom glowing white. My mom came in to see who I was talking to, but she just didnt see the horse.. I think I might have freaked her out. :) It seems you have a connection with animals, too!! I have my two golden retrievers who come into help me when clients have questions about animals, or when there are spirits around who don't need to be hanging out ... like little psychic angelic protectors!! This is all so wonderful, I am happy to have a chance to share to you!! Blessings, Chel

Hi Colleen!! It is a pleasure to read with you! You are a wonderful channel for the love and the energies that keep information flowing strong!! Your openess and willingness to receive what is given to you creates a beautiful communication with all of your Loved Ones!! I am so blessed to have been able to spend time with your family!! :) Today, just before you called, your dad came in and made a loud knocking sound. Now, I will know when that happens, I'll be hearing from you, and he'll be all ready to go!! :) Many, many blessings to you..and I'll keep Emma in my prayers this evening. Chel

Hi Lise, I am so glad that you enjoyed the article! I have been a spiritual development / psychic development teacher for almost ten years. The first thing my students learn when they begin to meet and communicate with their guides and angels is daily meditation! :) But you know what? You don't have to necessarily sit in silence when you first begin to meditate, there are some little tricks!! I'd be happy to help you with it!! Our guides are such great friends, I'm glad that you are communicating with them!! Blessings, Chel

Hi Joyce, Thank you so much!! I love astrology and really admire people who have studied it to the level you have, it is very intricate!! I dabble, but that is all. :) I love being a Medium and Clairvoyant/Audient. There is aomething about when the energies and information begin to flow through me, that amazes me every time I do a reading. Last week I did a reading for a lovely woman, and her mother came through. The woman was so upset because she had not been there with her mother when she died. Her mother told her that it was okay, because she had been in the car with her as she was driving through a snow storm. The woman began to cry, saying that it was a snow storm that had prevented her from getting to her mothers side. There was so much healing energy, it was just beautiful!! It is such a pleasure to hear from you, and I'll put a bug in the ear of anyone asking for astology!! :) Many Blessings, Chel

Hi Gine Rose!!! Weight Loss: Tangerine Quartz - softens Appatite - balances Obsidian - releases negativity Yellow Calcite - balances and grounds One thing that is wise to find out: what is the core issue of being over weight in the first place. Some people have physical issues and some have emotional issues .. so it's agood idea to do some inner work and find out what is the underlying cause, and then you can choose the perfect right stone to address the cause, not just the weight!! Oh, and rose quartz will help you to love yourself just as you are!! Many Blessings!! Chel 5153

Hi Abigail! I love tangerine quartz!! I have two single terminated ones, and I want to thank you for reminding me that they are awesome for wieght loss!! I am going to England in August, and need to drop a few lbs before I go!! Thank you!! Fushite is a great stone for working with the chakras and for clearing, it is wonderful for assisting people to re-align with their divine blueprint!! I have not seen a wand made of it, yet... I will keep my eyes out for one!! Many Blessings!! Chel 5153

Hi Jacqueline! Thank you for sharing the Grama Stone story!! Sometimes they do just disappear!! Try some rough rose quartz for your daughter... maybe even a chunk under her bed, or even one at each corner. It is inexpensive and will definately help her sleep better. Let me know if this helps!! Blessings!!

Hi Gina Rose, There is a wonderful stone that helps with eye sight. It is called Rhodonite. It is pink and white stone, striated with some spots of darker color. It is an excellent stone for clearing the path to all level of "sight". The beautiful soft energy of this stone brings cooling, balancing energy. Place a small Rhodonite in each hand and meditate with your attention on your eyes... you will notice a difference after only a few days of meditating with Rhodonite!!! Many Blessings!! Chel

Oh My, what a beautiful, darling child!! Yep, there are those deep clear eyes of the Crystal Child!! You are so blessed!! I'm not surprised to hear that you are an Indigo. many of the Crystals are being born to the more enlightened Indigo parents!! I am also an Indigo, with two Indigo children in their twenties ... three psychic, clairvoyant, mediums in the same household .. it got interesting to say the leaast. :) I have been working with several of the Crystal children who have autism, every one of them is telepathic, it is amazing. Have you tried to sit quietly and just send images mind to mind with your daughter? It would be interessting to see if she also has the telepathic ability, and wouldn't be surprised if you do, too. :) I have been planning my summer holiday to the UK and will now get back to writing some blog posts!! Many Blessings!!! Chel 5153

Hi Abigail! You have a really strong connection to the crystals, too!! I have a rose quarts crystal grid under my bed .. :) When you say that crystals will sometimes blow off your body, what do you mean, exactly? I can tell that you have a very high vibration, and sometimes the crystals will "leave" when they are no longer needed, or have fulfilled their purpose. They will also disappear completely when they need a rest. I use a herkimer diamond to keep my vibration high during long periods of doing readings, and it all of a sudden disapeared for about two weeks, and then reappeared on my nightstand, charged and ready to work again!! They are definately living, conscious beings!! I am glad to hear that you clean and charge them, too.. it is so important to honour them by taking good care of them!! I hope this answered your question!! I look forward to sharing more with you! Blessings, Chel

Hello everyone! I am so glad that you enjoyed the article!! I love crystals and have hundreds of them all over my house!! :) When I was little I used to collect rocks and hide them under my bed, drove my incredibly clean mom crazy!! hhaa haa haaa I will definately continue to write about crystals, thank you for the suggestion of a weekly post on different crystals, consider it done!! I will also write more on crystal children, thank you for sharing, Lise. These precious little ones are here to bring joy to us, and they are so sweet!! Blessings to each of you and thank you for your interest!! Chel 5153

Beautifully stated!! My Dad used to tell me "Follow your heart, but use your head" :) Im going to check out the Tricycle, it sounds like something I can sink my teeth into!! I teach spiritual development classes, and always love to have great references for my students, thank you! Blessings to all, Chel 5153

Hi Miss Krystal, yes I am a medium ... I have trained in the Spiritualist tradition with a wonderful Spiritualist Rev. here in So Cal. And I have also spent some time with Peter Close, a great medium from the UK .. he is a friend of a friend, and one night we were having dinner and he looked over at me and said "You are a natural medium, you'll be doing a lot more work with your gifts soon." That was about three years ago, and boy was he right!! I love what I do as a psychic, channel and medium. The training I have has taught me how to get verifiable information from the other side so clients know they are in communication with thier loved ones. One fun aspect of it all is that I often times am visited by the other side to help them heal and move on. I also do earth bound spirit healing and lifting as well. Sometimes my home feels like a throughfare for the unseen world!! Luckily I have had wonderful teachers who have taught me how to set protocols and employ the assistance of guides and angels, so I get to rest sometimes!! Thank you to all of you who are so involved with th blogs, this is really fun. I look forward to meeting you in person, it sounds like the christmas parties are the place to be!! Hugs to all!! Chel

You're welcome, Phillip!!! This is a great topic you brought to us!! Chel

Wonderful article, Phillip! This poem came to mind when I read it, and thought I'd share: "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." You never know who you might bless by returning the crown of love and grace to their beloved brow. Blessing, Chel

Hi there, I just found this blog!! Fun!! OK here goes a wierd one: I have been into past life regression since I was a child, and have had many spontaneous past life experiences, some of which have been in dreams. About a year ago I had a dream that I was Mary Queen of Scotts. I experienced, in my dream, the first chop of the guillotine, that didn't quite do the job, and then woke up as my head was severed from my body, and I was looking up at my body from below!! As I came more fully awake I had the full awareness that my head was no longer attached to my body!! Totally wierd!! It took me several minutes to "get myself together" energetically. Before I had this dream, I did not know anything about Mary Queen of Scots, or about her death. When I did some internet searching, I was amazed at the accurateness of my dream. I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Past Life Regressionist, and have done some interesting work with others and on my own past lives, but this one took the cake!! Chel 5153 PS: Im not a believer in people doing past life work to find out if they were famous or powerful people in past lives... I use it for healing current situations, and am aware that it can be considered metaphoric in nature as well as literal.
