Paranormal Q&A: What are some things people can do at home to amplify their connection to the spirit realm?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

Q: What are some things people can do at home to amplify their connection to the spirit realm?

A: People need to trust their feelings of their surroundings. Positive emotional people can tune in much better than negative people. Positive emotions, love, faith and hope - remove blocks from getting in touch with loved ones in spirit (who have crossed over).   Also, meditation or just sitting in a quiet place, even in the shower (where I get a lot of messages) when I'm at peace.  Play soft instrumental music, think of peaceful settings. Relax your body and mind. Those things help amplify the connection.

Read about the 2 Ghosts Rob Met in Canterbury, England's Pure Magick Shop

There were two ghosts who lingered in the "Pure Magick" shop in

Canterbury, England when I visited. I wrote about them in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" by Rob Gutro. 

  Each one of them had distinct personalities, and the owners of the shop knew all of them, and interacted with them on occasion. The shop owners were also able confirm the ghosts and their personalities, and they actually knew the identity of one of them!  

  "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" is available in paperback and E-book on Amazon.com ($9.99 and $3.99 respectively). 

Tarot Tuesday: Step back and Re-evaluate!

Today's Tarot Tuesday from Joy Andreasen is about stepping back and re-evaluating, and not rushing!

Joy says: A perfect card after a weekend at the beach! This is a perfect week to surrender our ideas and plans to Infinite Intelligence. Recognize that you don't always know exactly what the best plan of action is, and it might be a good idea to take a step back and re-evaluate. There is no hurry. It is okay to rethink your plans and allow Divine Wisdom some input into your life. With all these planets in retrograde and an eclipse coming up, it could be the only option!

Paranormal Q&A: What is your view on exorcisms and the Christian view of spirits?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

Q: What is your view on exorcisms and the Christian view of spirits?

A: First, I don't believe in "demons." I think that what we call demons are just life forms in spirit from other solar systems that made their way to Earth. Like wild animals that get defensive, other lifeforms that don't know us would get defensive and perhaps take over the body of a living person. 

Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead

The concept of demons was conjured up to frighten people into behaving.  Exorcisms work on the principal of positive emotional energy, not religion. When a holy man, who are generally good of heart and has a lot of positive energy, tries to expel a ghost or spirit who is a bad person with a lot of negative energy, if the positive energy is strong enough, it will dispel or move the negative energy out (as a scientist, I believe it's all about energy).

Positive emotional energies are faith, hope and love. Negative emotional energies are fear, anger, depression, anxiety, hatred,. - It's because of positive emotional energy that prayer works (from any religion or non-religion)- It's the projection of faith-energy.  So, you need not be a priest or Christian to expel a bad ghost or spirit from someone  - and possessions are  rare.  

My book "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" has a chapter on "demons."

Paranormal Q&A: Is this something that you practice constantly?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

Q: Is this something that you practice constantly, or do you only do medium work when it is called upon?

A: Good question!  I don't practice. Ghosts (earthbound) and Spirits (who crossed over) come to me when they come to me.  

The only times I actually focus to tune in is when I get emails from people who find me on-line or have read my books and ask me about someone (person or pet) who has passed. Then I concentrate. 

Ghosts of England by Rob Gutro

Same as when I go into a private residence on a paranormal investigation to try and help the ghost. Otherwise I can usually block the messages out when I get preoccupied or concentrate on something. The exception however, was during my two trips to England where there are a bevy of ghosts from history and many of them called to me and gave me messages and clues to their identities and why they were still lingering on Earth as a ghost. I wrote about that in my new book "Ghosts of England: On a Medium's Vacation."

Fascinating book: A Gift of Spirit (a UK Ghost Photographer)

I recently read the U.K. paranormal book called "The  Gift of Spirit" with photos from a UK Ghost
Photographer. 
  The writer is Christina Schumacher and the photographer is Ron Bowers.  This book was recommended to me by a U.K. follower of this blog (so thanks for the great recommendation!) - the book is available on Amazon.com and well-worth a read!

Location of Essex, England

  In short, there are many amazing and interesting photos and it is filled with well-researched stories. The stories are well written, and the photographs are amazing. 
  I appreciate the links they provided to the color photos on-line where it's easier to see the ghosts in the photos. 

Colchester Castle - one of the places investigated

   The hauntings were well-researched and the photographer obviously has a link to the afterlife where ghosts sense that he's trying to help tell their story. 
  All locations are in Essex, England (east coast) and there are a lot of haunted places!

Read about the Ghost I met Twice in Windsor, England in "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation"

Rob Gutro at Windsor Castle 

 I met a lot of ghosts during my two vacations in England, and wrote about them in my new book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation." 
  Twice I stayed in the city of Windsor (where the recent Royal Wedding occurred) and twice I met the same ghost, who continued to linger and do what he liked to do in life. 
  You can meet many of the ghosts, too, including those who linger at Hampton Court Palace, the Tower of London, my haunted hotel room, Thornbury Castle, Ghosts in Canterbury, Stratford-Upon-Avon, and so much more!

Joy Andreasen's Tarot Tuesday: The Star

Today's Tarot card is the Star.

Joy Andreasen says: 
Today is a day to connect with the stars or perhaps think about following your dreams. Just as the magi followed a star to find their messiah, sometimes higher guidance is needed to lead you in your journey to the highest expression of your soul. Whether that star symbolizes a higher Benevolent Helper or your own Higher Wisdom, today you may find that connecting with that Higher Wisdom is exactly what you need to guide you toward that perfect path to your ultimate destiny. You may not reach the goal today, but you will have more clarity about your purpose and direction.

ABOUT THE CARD:  The Star (XVII) is the seventeenth trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional Tarot decks. It is used in game playing as well as in divination.  
IMAGE: A naked woman kneels by the water with one foot in the water, and other on the land. Above her head a star shines out. In each hand she holds a jug, from one jug she pours a liquid into the water and from the other jug she pours a liquid onto the land.

Photos from the Animal Rescue of Rhode Island Lectures (and adoptable dogs)!

A big sign posted outside ARRI

   On Sunday, June 24th I gave two lectures about "Pets and the Afterlife" to benefit the Animal Rescue of Rhode Island (ARRI) in Peace Dale, RI, south of Providence).  What an AMAZING facility and staff. This blog features a collection of pictures I took, including of some of the beautiful animals needing forever homes. 
  

This little dog wants a forever home!

  The rescue operates solely on donations, and all of the staff are volunteers. The people that volunteer there walk dogs, clean cages, feed, exercise and vet the animals.  Of course, the cost of vetting each animal that comes into the shelter is expensive, so all donations are very welcome. 

The entrance to ARRI 

The room wound up filled for both talks. 

Puppies needing adoption!

Several dogs waiting to be adopted 

   I went to the shelter about 10 years ago, when my friend Jamie Gardner (who volunteered there) introduced me to it. Since then, the shelter has expanded and improved to suit the massive influx of homeless pets. 
   Here are some of the photos from the event. Please consider donating the the Rescue, and remember that it's tax deductible!    
TO DONATE TO ANIMAL RESCUE OF RHODE ISLAND: http://www.animalrescueri.org/ 

NOTE TO OTHER RESCUES: If you would like me to give a talk about "Pets and the Afterlife" - How pets communicate from spirit, contact me at Rgutro@gmail.com. I don't charge anything to come out, and rescues can charge a fee as a way to fundraise!  I always bring some copies of my books with me if people want to purchase them.

Paranormal Q&A: How much truth is there to old myths from the pre-industrial era about spirits and medium work?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

Q: How much truth is there to old myths from the pre-industrial era about spirits and medium work?

A: Since the dawn of time, ghosts and spirits have been trying to contact the living. Since I'm unsure what myths you're referring to (there are many) I'll just say that there have always been people who have the gift to sense them. In ancient times, and depending upon the location or the culture, those people were either revered as gifted or executed as sorcerers.

Cave paintings by indigenous Australians date back 28,000 years, some depicting skulls, bones, spirits and the afterlife. Other cave paintings in Indonesia date back a further 10,000 years!

Of course, today, we know that mediums are gifted and use their abilities to help others.
