Question:

Answer:

Well negative thinking troubles everyone at some time or other and sometimes it can be so debilitating and self fulfilling so it feels like we are stuck in a loop. There is nothing wrong with you, it is not your fault that you are stuck in this loop of negative thinking. How do we stop it, well the answer is actually quite simple. Ask your self, ‘Is this thought useful?’ That’s it how, is this thought going to help me or the people around me? Now I know this sounds to simply to be true but it does work, you just have to get in the habit of doing it. Your mind thinks, that is its job and if there is nothing good and useful to think about, it will still go on thinking. What does it think about in this mode? Rubbish, it will make things up, just to continue fulfilling its purpose. But you can control it and you control it by challenging it and the way to challenge it is to question it. ‘Is this thought useful? How is this thought going to help me or the people around me? By doing this you are challenging you mind to think of useful and helpful thoughts. This will setup another loop, one where you be come positive, useful and helpful in stead of the loop that turns you in on yourself and keeps you sad and down. Try it and see, question every thought and the negative ones will just go away and the positive ones will come more often.

Question:

Answer:

It is very difficult for traumas experienced in the emotional level to be healed in the emotional level because it did not start in the emotional level. We can never really heal until we confront the cause not the symptom and what you are feeling is a symptom. You have not disclosed any details and that is perfectly fine because sometimes the details blur the truth. The ultimate cause is very often hidden from our view, especially when it has reached the emotional level. What we need do is go right back to the Soul level and there we will see that life is a series of experiences, some good some not so good. But they are all part of living and growing. Suffering is the result of not accepting that change has to happen, that we progress in life through a series of experiences and holding on to one experience is an unhealthy response. On a personality level you choose happiness and you want that to never end but on a Soul level you choose many different experiences to enable you to grow and progress through the cycle of lives. 
How do we do this? This is difficult to answer because sometimes the suffering itself is a needed experience and connecting with your Higher Self is not a skill that everyone has but it will always start with meditation, open up to the Higher Self and listen to the response. There are many books and videos out there some good some not so good to help you find a connection to your Higher Self. Think of it this way, you clime a mountain and look down you see a much wider and clearer view than when you were at the bottom in the middle of it all. This is what you are doing when you seek to connect with your Higher Self.

Question:

Answer:

It is of course very difficult to answer relationship questions, particularly when a definitive answer is requested, so I am not going to say stay or go because not only would that be unethical for me to do so, there is far more involved here in terms of life and relationships in general.
So what is life? Be it this incarnation, a past incarnation or the stage between. The answer is growth.
For some growth is very fast for others slow, for some growth is so fast that we could say that we have lived several incarnations in one life-time. Growth is change I am not the same person I was 40 years ago, I have grown and therefore changed. That can and has had dramatic consequences in terms of relationships, how many times do we hear ‘you are not the person I married’ and in truth nor should you be. Another often heard phrase is ‘Why didn’t we meet when we were younger’ well the answer to that is you probably wouldn't have liked me when I was younger. See,we tend to think relationships should last forever, ‘until death do we part’, well actually that’s a bit odd because what is death but change or growth. 
For a relationship to last you must each:
Never change and therefore never grow and waste two lives.
Change and grow together at reasonably the same rate and in the same direction, not that easy but possible.
Accept and respect change and growth within yourself and the other, finding some kind of accommodation for it to happen. The key here is respect.
Consider each relationship as a part of your own growth, and therefore accept the relationship has gone as far as it can, for whatever reason no shame no blame. This last one is never easy or without pain and what is pain? Growth.

Answer:

The simple answer is that it is supposed to be that way, a wise man once said 'with fire we prove the gold, with gold we prove the fire'. Another saying comes to mind, I don't know where it came from, 'talk is cheap'.

To expand on this Sally, we are all tested, not to prove our good intentions to the Cosmos but to prove it to ourselves. If all there was to spiritual and personal growth was to simply say something then we would all be very advanced beings however it would all be built on sand, if I may paraphrase.

When we say something like; 'we are all Gods children and I love everyone'. It is as though the Cosmos answers back with, 'Well, how much do you actually mean that? Do you really understand the full implications of that? How are you going to put that into practice? In short you are tested, not by some smug self-righteous god trying to prove you wrong. No! by a Cosmos that wants you to grow and demonstrate to you the next step along the way. So being viewed in that way the things you say are thrown at you are really a good thing.

One more point Sally, consider the path of life as spiralling up a mountain, the spiritual path is straighter which means it is shorter but a lot steeper and harder. The wonderful thing about it is though, you are free to choose your own path. You can go down as well as up, you can stay where you are, you can amble about aimlessly, take a steady gradient or you can choose a more direct route, but be warned the straight and narrow path is incredible steep and filled with pitfalls.

I hope this helps Sally, if you have anything further then please write back anytime. I will be posting this on the site as I feel there is a lot of people out there how feel or have felt the same way that you do.

Question:

I am very curious about guides and how they work and if there are different types of guides. I was at your web site looking at the aura section. We had an alternative health fair and this is the second year I have had my aura photographed. My aura has a lot of white and violet in it but hovering over the left of me is a pin prick of pure white, like someone put a small stone on the page coloured it then the stone fell off leaving this very vibrant dot of energy. Last year when I had this done they said they had never seen it before and they thought it might be some type of guide. I thought maybe a flaw in the picture but sure enough I have that same dot of energy floating above me to the left with this year's photo. They also said I had a very large aura and at the very top of my aura is a deep blue and you can see 3 distinct balls of darker blue, they are much much larger. They said these were also guides. I was wondering if there we different kinds of guides. The closest I can come to explaining my picture is using aura photo 4, replacing the black at the top with royal blue the lighter coloured red with white and the darker coloured red with violet. (ring of blue, ring of white, ring of violet). I guess you don't really need all this info but it couldn't hurt. If you could point me off in a direction to research I would be very grateful.

Thank you for your time and for allowing me to enjoy your website.

Answer:

The phenomenon you are talking about is actually quite common and yet at the same time it may well turn out to be a flaw in the photograph, you see the equipment was never designed to display images of guides and many other strange phenomenon which we have witnessed on numerous occasions. However, that does not negate the effect.

Let us first examine the idea of guides. Everything, (as I keep saying and everyone should know by now,) is vibrations, our entire visible world is nothing more than our brains feeble attempt at interpreting the vibrations it is able to detect. We though have a very limited ability to detect vibration and therefore have a very limited perception of reality, some people have a greater range than others but it is still extremely limited. We only recognise those phenomenon which are vibrating at a frequency which we are capable of detecting, but what of all those phenomenon which are vibrating faster or slower than can normally be detected. The Universe is incredibly more populated than we could know, when we take also the fact that different frequencies can occupy the same space at the same time, the mind goes into overload just thinking about the infinite possibilities. It has been said that the brain is actually more of a filter than anything else and this idea certainly has merit, for I feel that we would not be able to cope with a much larger image of reality, the complete picture is perhaps beyond our conception all together.

However let me fight my way back. The existence of guides is not a verifiable fact, the possibility of guides is indisputable. The evidence of guides is overwhelming and my version of the truth accepts guides wholeheartedly. Are there different guides? I would say yes, after all you would not expect a doctor to mend roads anymore than you would expect a priest to give you legal advice. I would suggest also that as well as having different functions they have different natures, abilities and methods.

We see five distinct types of guides, for want of a generic term.

1. Birth guide: these are very common and are found on the top left of the aura, this is in the shape usually of three connected blobs the central one being larger. It is felt that this guide is with you through out you life and comes with a blue print of your true potential.

2. Specialist helpers: these are found on the top right of the aura and usually consist of one single blob of colour, there may be several of these at one time. These little fellows are felt to be called by the birth guide to assist in the implementation of your divine plan.

3. Carer's: these are usually on the left side about level with the head and are small gentle glows of colour, usually pink. This indicates the presents of a loved one who has passed over showing their love for you.

4. Sprite's: these are found anywhere in the aura and consist of tiny specks of white light. These are not harmful, though I do not think they are particularly helpful in terms of spiritual growth, they do tend to add a sense of fun and giddiness to the people whose aura's they inhabit. If these are present, do not worry about them just enjoy them.

5. Un-named: Sometimes we find that the face of the person is dramatically transformed, and definitely display the features of someone else. In all the case which I have witnessed this, though it is not very often, I have found the person to be completely at home with the image and have felt that there is someone with them all the time that is using them to perform some task on this planet. To me it is a form of possession, however, because all the people I have met who have had this phenomenon are very okay with it I suspect that the beings who work in this manner only choose willing souls and I am sure they are rewarded.

As for pointing you of in the right direction, well, there are many 'meet your guides', 'meet your angels', 'meet your uncle and all your strange cousins' books but they all tend to say the same thing and that is basically, ask them, meditate, quieten things down, ask them to come and speak. There is a lot more to it than that but the books will not tell you anymore than that. What I would like you to realise is that because things have shown up on your photograph means that they are there and ready to speak to you, indeed sometimes I feel that they take the opportunity of the photograph to pass on messages to you so you may want to use it during meditation, de-focus and aimlessly stare through the photograph using it has a kind of Scrying tool.

The main thing and perhaps ultimately the only thing you need to do is, listen to your self, we all receive prompting's all the time but usually we are to busy to notice them or if we do, then we ignore them. A point to note is that the more you act on your hunches, intuition, guidance, the more they will come. If you wish to communicate with your guides then the first job is to convince them that you are willing to listen. Think about it, if you were trying to speak to someone how never stopped what they were doing, if they never stopped talking themselves, if they never acted on your advice, what would you do?

I hope this helps

Please Note
As the above was a general question about guides and was felt to be of general interest we felt compeled to answer. However, we do not give interpretations or make comments of other peoples work, this is felt to be unethical. If you are a client of ours and you have had a photograph taken by us and paid for the analysis yet still have further questions then we will answer you gladly and speedily. If you have questions about photographs taken by others then I suggest you contact them. It may seem hard and ungiving but there are other types of camera and other types of film even if you offered to pay huge sums of money we could not do it. If you wish to have an analysis of your aura photograph given by us then you have to have a photograph taken by us.
