“Hello? Is anyone there?”
Upon going to bed, have you ever had thoughts about what might be hiding in the dark? Perhaps you even look under the bed. Maybe you can’t sleep unless your closet door is closed. The dark is scary, but why? Logic would tell us that everything should be just the same as it is with the lights on, with the only exception being that we do not have the ability to see it in the absence of light. So why is it that so many of us are afraid of the dark?
The dark is when things are quiet. It’s a time when our other senses are naturally heightened to make up for our lack of visibility. This means that we may hear things that wouldn’t catch our attention during the day when there are a multitude of sounds and distractions around us.
When your senses are heightened, it’s important that you maintain your sense of calm, and there are a couple of reasons for this. First, it’s entirely possible to drive yourself crazy with anxiety and fear, sending adrenaline into your system at the slightest sound. In this case, yes, it is all in your head- and your body chemistry. However, the second reason is that your vibration is like a magnet for anything with a similar vibration. You are like an antenna, sending and receiving signals. And when that signal goes out, it WILL attract!
Yes, I’m going to say it. It is possible for entities to find you and to draw near to you because you are broadcasting, knowingly or unknowingly.
So when you’re laying in bed silently thinking, “Is there anyone there?” someone will most certainly hear you and respond. Although it can happen at any time, during this time of year, the veil between the worlds is very thin, and spirits are much more aware of us, as we are of them. Since like attracts like, keeping your vibration high and your energy field clean is essential to keeping yourself protected and safe.The natural and supernatural world is filled with opposing forces. It is naive to disregard or scuff off the notion that the Dark co-exists with the Light.
This is not to say that you should obsess over it or put your focus there, but if you are going to play in the etheric realms, you must be aware. Just as we put on a seatbelt as a measure of caution when we get in a car, we must also take care to protect ourselves when we connect with Spirit.
So how do you manage this process? Glad you asked!
- Like attracts like, so the easiest way to keep the Boogey Man at bay is to vibrate at a higher vibration. You certainly don’t want lower! The energies that vibrate faster, are the ones that will bring you peace and protection, such as loved ones, guides and angels. How? During your day, monitor your thoughts and feelings. If you find yourself being more negative than positive, catch yourself and try to repeat the thought in a more positive or loving light. For example, if you are at work and a customer snaps at you, you may think, “this person sucks.” Catch yourself and then think a more positive thought such as, “this person is struggling so much he/she could use some kindness and care.” You’ll find that it motivates you in your actions as well as keeping your vibrations high.
- Keep yourself clean! I say this in a playful way, but seriously as well. All day long we are walking through fields of energy. If your energy field isn’t clean and strong, you will be affected much more strongly and often by the energy you encounter during your day. My suggestion is to develop your own script for an evening meditation, asking for Divinity, your angels, Jesus or whomever you feel comfortable asking, to clear any blocks, repair any holes and to strengthen your auric field. Some people like to use the chakras as a way to gage any energetic blocks or issues, which is also a way to clear your energy. Find what feels right for you, and do it!
- Whenever opening up to Spirit, always have a ritual of setting protection and intention. Lots of people simply imagine White Light surrounding our entire being as we are doing our spiritual work. If you like, you can invite your angels or loved ones to lend their energy and protection as you are entering this space.
- Choose a time and place that will be comfortable for you to connect to Spirit. In your bedroom at night probably isn’t the best choice. If you have little privacy, a better choice may be the bathroom! Perhaps the best time for you to connect is during your morning preparation. Spirit hears your thoughts, so you can brush your teeth and talk to Spirit at the same time. Morning may be less frightening than night, and the bathroom or other area is probably less frightening than your bedroom.
- Don’t forget to close the door! When you’ve opened up and invited the Spirit world to join you, it’s vital that you intentionally set some sort of guidelines for ‘closing’ the door when you are through. You wouldn’t send out an invitation for a party without designating a specific time slot, and it’s no different with Spirit. Leave the door open, and you will find very quickly that missing this step will be much like having a party that never ends because your guests don’t know when to go home. They came because you invited them, so give them the courtesy of letting them know when communication is done, and you are closed for business.
