Maybe you are trying too hard....that can leave you feeling frustrated and upset with yourself without you even knowing why sometimes. 

 

Can you try doing something that takes your mind of trying to get a result, if that make sense?  So instead of trying to sit here and ask questions in your mind and letting all those thoughts rush in, kick back a little, put the radio on, or the tv, or some music, (anything non spiritual) and just doodle instead of trying to get words and structured replies.  There will almost certainly be synchronicity at play if you distract yourself, it might be that you hear something 'in between' so if someone is talking to you, and the TV is on at the same time, you'll get a little message in between all that noise. OR something may stand out and you'll think thats odd - BINGO, thats the message - give it a try.

 

A variation.....

 

I can't listen to more than one sound at a time, which annoys the kids when they are all playing different games on the gameboy things and they all want the sound on - I do let them do it though, and generally as soon as they all turn it all off and its quiet, there will be sometihng there for me from spirit as a thank you, either in the next news article on the TV, the next song that i listen too, or the next webpage or whatever, or even, if i am writing or drawing, i'llsort of 'see' a shadow on the page and when i start doodling it, other stuff just jumps into my mind and i get the message that way.

 

Connecting this way you are sort of tricking your logical mind into 'sodding off' for a bit so you can let you inner light connect and come through for you.

 

I'll have a think and see if i can think of anything else for you darlin'

Hi Erika,

Sounds like good advise to me, yes your right its probably cos im trying too hard and getting nothing. I am really new at this and though things have come to me before, so much of it i cant make sense of, this is what i have yet to learn  how to gain a good solid way of communicating.

I have also noticed synchronicity mostly as im getting on with daily life so i will take your advise and be more mindful when it happens.

The weird thing is , although your told to meditate with a blank mind, i have actually "seen" more whilst thinking other things!!! Kind of like you say, i will idly be having thoughts about something and nothing letting my mind wander then i seem to see places in my mind and seem to travel places. This has only happened a couple of times tho cos mostly im too busy trying to empty my mind lol.

My problem i think is as soon as my little one has a nap or i get a spare few minutes i immediatly try and get something but end up frustrated.

One day i hope to make sense of it all as i hope its all for a reason (to help others)

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

Hi darlin'

 

Hmm I agree with Erika that you are trying too hard.  Automatic writing is hard in its self as its akin to trance speech the difference being that the hand is used to write the intuitive thoughts instead of speaking it.  In automatic writing there is a great chance of the mediums mind superimposing itself ove rthe guide's thoughts.  There is a great need for self discipline in writing than with other forms of mediumship because it can get out of hand and this must be avoided for your sake.

 

As for making your mind blank - it's impossible - unless you have expired lol.  You are doing the right thing by just daydreaming or thinking other mundane thoughts then (Erika's word) BINGO you will not only hear or feel but you most probably see as well - maybe not all at the same time lol.      Just remember not to try to - just let it happen.

 

Sorry I didnt mean to go on but I've got this sudden spurt of energy tonight lol.   Hope this helps in some way.

Hi Polly,

Thank you for the advise and no your not going on, i appreciate your help.

As for automatic writing maybe you could clarify if this is what i have done before...Last year i was sat with a friend discussing her nan who had passed when i got a pen and paper and just wrote what came to mind, long story short i had written both her grandma`s who`d passed and some other words like flowers and thank you etc. Then another time i seemed to be able to travel back to my grandparents lives (still alive) and i could see and feel what they had all gone through which is lots of heartache and how it had affected everyones lives right up till present day, i started to write a message and i just couldnt write fast enough to keep up with what was going through my mind, i knew if i stopped to ponder i would lose what i had. In the end it was messages for my uncle mainly, then mum etc. Is it possible to get these kind of messages for family members even though they are all still alive? could it have been from a passed family member just explaining things? i dont know if this is how it works or was that just my own slant on things? the feelings i got were very strong and real and i cried a lot cos i felt their pain. Does this make sense to you?

Now im going on lol sorry

Try askind your guides to let you in on everything in a dream.  Before you go to bed, ask and clear you mind.  Might take some time though. so don't get discouraged.

Purple,

 

Spirit will work with you in whatver way they find it easiest to get the message over, and it will change, your spiritual development is as fluid as life itself, and somrtimes what has been easy or right will no longer be that way.  I used to just write, I'd sit at my keyboard and let the words come and then print or send in an email, and thats all there was to it, nothing spiritual, no candles needed, nothing, it was me and me fingers an that was all.  And  then I met, and go to know Charlie, my guide, and things changed, this time i only ever received things in meditation, i could sit at the keyboard for days and nothing.....after medaititon, it was cards; fairy cards, angel cards, egyptian cartouche cards, and then came runes and then pendulum work and then holding crystals, and so it went on.  Now, its a great big mix up of the whole lot depending on who i am reading for and what charlie wants to do - so don't be disheartened, try something else that grabs your attention.

 

As Polly said, spirit will never intentionally make you cry when you are working with them to bring messages for people.  Those in spirit that communicate with you certainly will be beyond any pain, hurt or upset they experienced, or created, on the earth plane. Remember to shield and protect and ground before you work spiritually (I ground and protect morning noon and night and at bedtime, regardless of what i am doing with my day), this will stop you being being drawn into the emotions of the message that they give you, and remember to keep your feet grounded and wiggle them toes on the ground when you are all done to emphasise that you are 'back to earth'.  It wont stop all the tears, sometimes i cry just from the emotional experience, because its so incredibly beautiful, especially if the angels are around as they are such enlightened beings, but it will help, a lot.

 

More stuff for you to think about eh?

Hi,

Thank you all for your replies to my questions

Polly,

 thank you for explaining it as i do not know what it was just how i felt. My grandparents are alive but they have lost 2 children, one who was 10 and the other who was 35 and thats kinda what i was getting through about how the whole family survived after the aftermath of these deaths. I never really thought about picking up the vibrations so its a bit easier to understand now.

 

Martine,

 lol i have asked before and had some weird dreams but of course being me i dont write them down. Other times i dont remember a thing, but..i didnt know i had to keep trying lol i just expected bam id have the dream straight away, so now i know it could take a while i will perservere.

 

Erika,

It makes sense i suppose that things can change, like you said now you can do lots of other things too. Isnt it strange how you used to just do it so to speak on the keyboard but now youve broaden your horizons if thats the words im looking for lol. I too have a pendulum and a couple of sets of cards and am now hopeful that maybe thats where i should be going instead thanks for that.

As for grounding and protecting Hmm i am guilty of not doing enough, i was just reading the articles on here about it ( wonderful btw ) wow you do it a lot dont you, maybe i need to pick up a bit more as i know im obviously not doing enough. I do feel a lot better when i do so i think it would be wise to start doing more.

I did the technique for it last night and i ended up feeling a bit nauseus and like too much energy in my legs like i was agitated and couldnt stop moving my legs about. Is this cos i havnt done it properly?

 

Thank you all again for your input, i appreciate it.

Hiya hun,

 

I do a lot of goruindgn and protecting, becasue I do a lot of spiritual work.  It sort of goeshand in hand.  Whilst you are starting out I would recommend doing somthing short in the morning, you can do it before you even get out of bed, or as you put your feet on the ground, really sink them into the floor and feel roots and then do a little pulling down of silver light around you from above your head all the way to below your feet just imagine it - or if you can't see it, just know that it is there - intenet is as good as anything spiritually - if you think it, so it be.  This will to help keep/get your energy levels up and clear.  You cna do the same thing at bedtime, and when i snuggle down under my duvet, i imagine angel wings wrapping me up and I say a little prayer silently in my head, thanking spirit for hte day and asking htem to protect my family and my overnight.  Before i meditate, or use cards, or pendulum or anything then i do the lengthier protection techniques - if it makes you feel lightheaded or nauseus it might be that you rushed it a little bit, or that you just need to REALLY thinkabout them feet on the ground and bury your roots real deep.  It might also help to have a nice long tall glass of clean water.  It might be that that technique jsut isnt right for you, or that you need to shorten it, play around with what feels right for you.  If the planting roots in the ground doesn't work for you, imagine yourself as a tree, standing stock still and strong, (mountain pose in yoga is a good way to get the feel of this) knowing that no matter how strong the winds around you, you are rock solid and anchored safe and sound deep in mother earth. 

 

Here I go, war and peace again LOL

 

Hope this helps.
