Words From Walter - Validating Your Spirit Guide

The most common question posed to me regarding Spirit Guides is, "Can you tell me my Guide's name?" This seems to be of great importance to you to have a name and physical identity to assign it to.



Please remember, dear brothers and sisters, that we are not physical beings. We as guides are not attached to a physical reality. Please do not confuse us with ghosts or other disembodied entities. Ghosts are still attached to your dimension. Therefore they will gladly give you a name and location so that you may verify their existence by witnessing a gravestone or census record.



Guides on the other hand are not connected to physical in this way. We are in touch with our Higher Selves. We have full knowledge of all of our lives past, present and future. So, when you ask me for a name…which one shall I give to you? I have been male and I have been female. I have lived many times with many names. 

Some of us have never taken on a physical form at all and are simply recognized by energetic signature.


We understand the importance that you place on this issue and will provide a name if you require one. But, please understand that from our point of view it is not a thing of great matter. A guide often presents him/herself as an amalgam or blending of lifetimes. Quite often it is a name from here; a personality trait from there. However we feel you will be most comfortable with our presence. We often choose bits from our own personal favorite lifetimes. If we have in previous incarnations spent time with you, then we might choose that identity to present to you as it will be familiar to you on a soul level.



What I wish to impress upon you is that if you are unable to validate your guide through historical record it should not deter you. It doesn't make us any less "real". It doesn't mean your experience with us should be discounted. You did not imagine us we are here.



A Spirit Guide is one the many ways God shows His grace to you. You wouldn't think of crossing a vast desert without a guide therefore you shouldn't think that you are expected to cross the Earth plane, with its various pitfalls, alone.

The most important thing is that you have asked for your guide and they have come forward to greet you; name or no name. Do not lose sight of your goal. That is to discard the bonds of physical reality and connect with your Higher Self.



Blessings,

Walter

Words From Walter : Meet Your Spirit Guide Meditation

(I hope that you enjoy this meditation that was given to me by my guide, Walter)


This Meditation is intended to aid you in making contact with your Spirit Guide.
Please find a quiet spot with no distractions. Turn off the phone and television and give yourself at least 15-30 minutes for this exercise. You may wish to record your own voice, with or without soft music in the background, reading the instructions and make your own personal Guided Meditation recording.

Let us begin by sitting comfortably and taking in 3 deep breaths. In through your nose and out through your mouth. Relax with each breath letting the tension of the day leave your body. Today is a joyous day for you are about to meet your Spirit Guide. Feel yourself relaxing a little more with each breath. Peacefulness is entering your body through your inhalation. Tension is leaving through your mouth on exhalation. Close your eyes and be aware of your breath slow and steady. In your mind’s eye you see before you a long hallway. You can see a door at its end. As you begin to slowly walk down the hallway towards the door you announce your intention …”I am heading to meet my Guide”. You feel a lightness of self as you walk towards the door. Take your time walking down the hall. When you feel comfortable reach out and open the door.

As the door opens you see before you a beautiful spiral staircase. You are standing at the top of the stairs. Take a moment and look down. There are 3 landings. When you are ready you may walk down the first section of steps. As you descend each step you find yourself more relaxed and peaceful. Your heart and mind is open. When you reach the landing stop and be aware of your breath. When you are ready take the next flight of stairs down. As you descend slowly you are filled with joy. Your Guide is waiting for you. When you reach the landing stop and be aware of your breath. One last flight of stairs lay ahead. Look over the railing. There is a door at the bottom of the stairs. Your Guide is waiting on the other side. When you are ready, descend the last flight of stairs. As you stand before the door at the bottom of the stairwell, you feel intense joy. Your Guide is close. Be aware of your breath.

When you feel ready…open the door. The door opens…You see before you a beautiful garden. In the center of the garden is a bench and on that bench sits your Guide. He/She is waiting for you. Take your time and walk over to them. Sit down on the bench and talk to your Guide. You may ask your guide for His/Her name, if you like as that seems to be of importance to some. You may talk about anything you wish. Spend as much time with your Guide as you need. When you are finished…Thank your Guide for coming and head back to the door.

Entering the stairwell…you now ascend the first flight of stairs. As you go up you feel lighthearted and joyous. You know your Guide is always with you. Each flight of stairs brings you closer to your normal waking state. Ascend them slowly taking as much time as you need. Pause on each landing to watch your breath. You will be fully awake and back to normal consciousness as you open the door at the top of the stairs. Walk back down the hallway feeling confident and blissful. You know you may call on your guide at anytime. You may meet your guide in the garden any time you need. When you are ready… open the door at the end of hall and enter your room.

Open your eyes. This peaceful state will stay with you as you know that you are not alone on your journey. You have met your Guide. We are with you, sent by God, to aid and comfort you.

Blessings, Walter

Balancing Exercise (Perfect for Empaths)

Balancing Exercise (Perfect for Empaths)

The most important thing you can do to gain control of the body and calm down emotional states is breath control (pranayama). Prana is Sanskrit for breath and ayama is to suspend or arrest. There is great power in the cycle of human breathing. Tapping into this will help you relax and recharge yourself.  It can be helpful as a first step in detaching other's energies from yours. You will also notice greater clarity of thought and more physical stamina.


The best place to start is by simply monitoring (watching) the breath as an observer. This you can do anytime...anyplace. No one will notice what you are doing so no need to be shy. Perfect for the workplace.


Start by taking a slow, deep breath in. Listen to the sound that your body makes. "SO" as in you inhale. Exhale deeply and slowly...listen....."HUM" is the sound produced.


Use these sounds as mantra. Another deep, slow breath...this time say to yourself "SO" on the inhale. Pause for a split second.
Then exhale....repeat "HUM" to yourself as you release your breath slowly.


Within just a few breaths...repeating SO HUM internally as you breathe... you will begin to relax. Drop your shoulders ... release the tension in your face and neck....allow your body to relax and breathing to fall into a natural deep rhythm.


You may do this for as little or as long as you need to re-balance your breath.


After balancing your breath with the SO HUM breathing you may begin a visualization.


Choose a place that gives you comfort.
Like a beautiful garden or a peaceful stream. Personally, I visualize a garden with a place to sit in the center. Very peaceful...all the colors that I love...with a fountain ...so relaxing.

Close your eyes.


See yourself walking down a path into your private sanctuary. A place of solitude that no one else may enter. This is your place for privacy and rejuvenation.


Enter your sanctuary and have a seat. Feel the breeze on your face. Smell the pleasant surroundings. Recharge yourself in this beautiful setting. Let all tension go. No worries here. No place for it. Time does not exist here. Envision yourself bathed in a golden white light from above....removing any illness or stress that remains. Sit here as long as you need. When you feel balanced... you may take the path back to a rested, wakeful state.


Hope that you find this helpful,

Much Love,

Gina

Mantra

A mantra is a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that are considered capable of "creating transformation" such as a Spiritual transformation. A mantra can be used to balance the breath before meditation. Repeating a mantra during your meditation can induce a sense of peace and quietness of mind. Your thoughts instead of wandering are now focused on the powerful sound of mantra.


Mantra is best experienced out loud letting the sounds penetrate your being and surroundings. You may repeat a mantra silently to yourself if you need privacy or are physically somewhere where silence is expected. Some simple mantras for beginners are as follows:

OM/AUM- The sound of creation
AMEN- Verily, It is true, So be it
ALLAH- One of the many names of God
SO HUM – I am that


Choose one that you are most comfortable with using. Drag the sound out, for example, AMEN should be pronounced AH-MEN. Really use your voice. Bring the sound up from your diaphragm, forceful and strong. Let it resonate and surround you. I use SO HUM for breath balance myself. It is the sound the body makes when breathing. SO on the inhale. HUM on the exhale. This can be repeated silently and internally while taking slow deep breaths. 

Try this for yourself. You will notice a sense of well-being and easy transition to a meditative state.

Namaste and Much Love,

Gina

Advice From A Spirit Guide Regarding Ouija Boards

I've always had mixed feelings about Ouija boards. They seem so harmless but there are countless warnings about them posted everywhere. How can a small wooden board and a plastic planchette possibly be dangerous? I received my first board when I was 12 years old as a Christmas present along with a set of tarot cards and an AMAZING KRESKIN game. 

My parents, both mediums, didn't seem to be bothered by a sense of danger so what's the big deal? (I found out later that I was relying on their protection)

I saw the board as a training tool. I knew I should be relying on my own senses to hear and see the spirits but the board was so much easier.

I even met my own spirit guide while using the Ouija board. I was talking to my mother (who is on the other side) when a strong presence came through pulling the planchette forcefully from letter to letter spelling W-A-L-T-E-R. I asked my mother, "Who is this spirit?" She replied, "A noble soul." He then showed himself to us and gave a proper introduction. From that moment on Walter complained about the board incessantly until I finally couldn't take it anymore and got rid of it.

I really like the explanation he gave me. He said when you sit down at a Ouija board you send out an open invitation to any spirit good or bad that might be hanging around. It's kind of like having a party and posting the invite along with your address on the internet. Anyone at all can show up. Even if you only intend to contact a certain spirit; that invite is out there and you can expect gate crashers. 

It's even possible for an entity to become attached to the board or your home and you can end up with a nasty haunting that can be very draining for you and your guides. The guides do their best to keep the uninvited away but it's really not fair to expect them to communicate with you one letter at a time and do crowd control at the same time, is it? 

I never thought that I was being selfish by using the board. I had no idea how much work it was causing the Guides. Apparently it's pretty difficult for them to push the planchette. It takes a lot of energy. It is much easier for them to use telepathy and safer for us.

So I threw away my "training wheels" and exercised my psychic muscle instead. It's harder, I admit, but I feel safer and better about myself for relying on my own abilities.

Much Love,

Gina

Using A Pendulum With Angels

One of my favorite ways of communicating with my Guardian Angel is by using a Pendulum. You can purchase one rather inexpensively at a Spiritual Shop or find one Online. Another alternative is to make your own by tying a piece of string or dental floss to a ring.

I start by finding a quiet spot in my home where I can sit undisturbed for at least 15-20 minutes. I light a candle to represent God/Goddess' presence among us. I usually choose white for purity or pink for love. I place an Angel object in front of me such as a picture or figurine to focus my intent.

At this point I say a prayer. I ask God/Goddess to allow my Guardian Angel to communicate with me. Take the Pendulum in your hand by the string. It doesn't matter which hand you use. Ask your Angel to show you the direction for "yes". Observe the movement of the Pendulum. Stop the movement with your other hand. Ask your Angel to show you the direction for "no". Again, observe the movement of the Pendulum. For me it is always circular for "yes" and linear (back and forth) for "no".

You may now ask your Angel whatever yes or no question you like. When you have finished asking your questions and are ready to close the session, remember to thank your Angel for their help.

Much Love, 

Gina

How To Invoke Angels

I've spent years studying about angels in one form or another. I've always been fascinated by the subject and amazed by the personal accounts of others. My Catholic school upbringing was full of the wonders of the works of angels.

 As a former nurse and midwife; I have attended people through the birth and death processes and found that most, at least in time of need, believed in angels.

I have studied complicated Kabalistic rituals designed to bring a multitude of angels to my beck and call. That is if I could remember all of the ritual. In Psychic Development classes many years ago I was taught which Archangel to call for this or that and the directions and colors associated with each. Now in time of need should I search my memory for whom to call while visualizing their color and which direction to face while doing it?

Experience has taught me that it's much easier than that. Angels are with us most of the time anyway. We each have at least one guardian angel that watches over us. If you feel you need extra help all that is required is for you to ask. That's all. Just ask. I always feel more comfortable addressing the God/Goddess Energy directly. So, I just say, "God/Goddess, please send angels. I need your help."


My daughter always asked for God/Goddess to send angels to help her during her Psychic Development lessons. She asked that they surround her and protect her and help her to open up to the Divine. There is no worry of negative energies when you are surrounded by angels!


How will you know that you have succeeded in invoking your angels? A sense of peace, answers for your problems popping into your head, a phone call or knock at your door with a solution to your dilemma. You may hear angel references everywhere you go. For me a certain song will play no matter where I am. I know it's the angels letting me know they are here. Look for the small signs and you won't be disappointed.

Much Love,

Gina

Blind Faith In Angels

I have always believed in angels. There has never been any question in my mind about their existence. I love to read about angel experiences and hope that one day I can see one for myself. As a former nurse and midwife, I have felt their presence at births and deaths but have yet to have a tangible experience.


I taught my daughter to invoke angels for protection as she was learning to develop her psychic ability and within a short period of time she was hearing angels singing. She would look at me in amazement and say, "Can't you hear them? It's beautiful!" Try as I would, I heard nothing but silence.


My husband and I had a discussion about whether it was proper to invoke angels or just focus directly on the God energy. We have different religious upbringings and he wasn't even sure if angels existed at all. Maybe I was wasting my time calling for them and misdirecting my devotion. I just assumed I could do both.


It wasn't long after our discussion when I fell ill and took to my bed to recover. My husband was standing in front of our home when he saw a huge glowing being, at least 7 feet tall, wings and all gliding towards the house. The being passed was able to pass through the wall without effort. There was no doubt in his mind...this was an angel.


My husband rushed into our bedroom to tell me what he had witnessed. Standing at my bedside looking down at me was the angel. He looked up at my husband and disappeared. Of course, I slept through the entire encounter.

Now, why wasn't I permitted to see this angel that dazzled my husband or hear the heavenly choir that delighted my daughter? Maybe it was because I already believed in angels.

Faith is blind, right? In my case I guess it's deaf too.

Much Love,

Gina

Voices From Beyond?

I recently visited a small town in Florida to do some shopping for antiques. This trip occurred just after several hurricanes had passed and had left considerable damage to most of the Downtown buildings. I walked into a very old store known for its active ghostly happenings.

As I walked towards the middle of the empty store I heard a voice that seemed to encircle me. I am used to this experience as a Clairaudient. I hear spirit voices. Sometimes the voices that I hear are soft like a whisper or they can be clear and strong as if you were listening to a living person.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" This voice was strong. definitely a "Class A" example of Spirit Communication. I stopped in my tracks; said a quick prayer for protection and readied myself for this other worldly experience. I just knew this was going to be a good one. This building was well over 100 years old and had proven itself repeatedly as a hotbed of psychic phenomena including well documented evidence of multiple hauntings.

Again I heard a voice seeming to come from above me and all around me at the same time. this second voice was distinctly different. I had made contact with two entities! I can't tell you how excited I was at that very moment.

I paused to listen carefully to the second voice. "Sure, let me put these tools down and I'll crawl over to where you are." What? That certainly wasn't what I had expected. I looked up to see that there was a huge hole in the ceiling. The roof was being repaired and there were Work Men in the crawlspace above me.

I felt pretty silly. Still do. From now on when I think I hear a spirit voice I look up! My friends think that I am deeply religious now because I am frequently gazing Heavenward at odd times of the day. So keep in mind, dear friends, that not all experiences are paranormal. Sometimes there is a logical explanation. 

Wishing you all well in your Metaphysical journey and remember it doesn't hurt to look up every now and then!


Much Love,
Gina
