Well, let’s first talk about how we sense energy. If we understand how we sense energy, then a whole realm of possibilities is opened up to us.
Picture this: you’re in a big city. You have the list of errands you need to run and you’re not sure of you have enough time for it all. But you are definitely going to try! So in order to do it correctly, one needs coffee right? You stop into a coffee shop. You wait in line, naturally observing your surroundings, and the people in it. As you do this you start to figure out that some of the people you’re comfortable with, and some of them, you really want to be as far away from as possible. In fact, if you could, you’d probably teleport them elsewhere. Does this type of situation sound familiar? If it did, congratulations! You can sense energy. Every single human being on this planet is different. Imagine what it would be like if we were all the same – that would be weird right? We are all individuals – we have different energy frequencies. It’s these frequencies that allow others to form opinions of us before they know us and vice a versa. Human beings can sense these changes. Think of it like a “heads up” system. That way we’re never fully blind in the situation. So how does this relate to you sensing spirits around us? Quite naturally.
By sensing energy, we can sense what has happened in the place, what will happen in the place, any people or entities that were or will be in a place etc. This is a form of awareness. For some of us it might be more naturally developed, however we all can do it. It just might take others more practice time. This ‘sensing’ ability is known as clairsentience, which basically means “clear feeling”. This is one of the tools we have to connect with the unseen worlds. Spirit tries to get in touch with us by making us feel certain sensations. Once we learn how to isolate what each sensation means, we figure out how to generate communication. In this blog post will talk about several different types of entities that people frequently come across, and how to sense spirits.
Some Common Spirits
Let’s start with the Human Spirit – just like in life, each human spirit is unique with their own frequency. There are many ways to sense this type of spirit. The key here is to remember that Spirit is made of energy. That means, a physical body doesn’t limit expression. Here are some of the sensations you might feel:
- Dizziness
- Heat or a chill in the air (unexplained of course)
- Thickness – imagine that you just walked into a room full of molasses. Yep. You did just read that.
- Know the feeling when the room is spinning? That’s also a common sensation to experience when dealing with Spirit. It’s 100% okay to ask them to slow their roll.
- Heaviness. Human spirits were once human. They physically walked on this planet. For that very reason, they are more grounded than other types of entities that can be very floaty or extremely otherworldly. Have you ever had a conversation with someone who keeps talking only in tangents and never gets to the point? Well, that’s a good analogy for the latter. With human spirits, you can pull on a cord so to speak, and bring them back ‘down’ to earth. The others…not so much; but they’re still amazing to work with.
- Ghosts – this is another form of human spirits. However, not all human spirits are ghosts. These are spirits that haven’t crossed over to the beforelife yet.They may or may not be aware of your presence. Talk about dense – a dense feeling that is. If you feel an extreme heaviness, it is quite likely a ghost is with you. Here’s the thing about ghosts. They’re still around for some reason. This means that when you are in the proximity of a ghost, it’s likely you’ll feel other sensations (in addition to heaviness) that relate to why they are still around. For example, you might become anxious, worried, happy or petrified for no apparent reason; but they had a reason to be.
Beings of Light
Remember those floaty guys I was talking about? These are them. Granted, some are more floaty than others. The title ‘Beings of Light’ refer to many different types of entities. Two of the more commonly know ones are Spirit Guides and Angels. As their title entails, these types of entities are made of a very high frequency.
- Spirit Guides are amazing. Your guides could’ve been human, or perhaps they never were. The way you sense your personal guides can vary. For example, some of my clients feel a tingling sensations, while others see them or sense them standing next to them. The way they present themselves to you will also depend upon who they are. A guide who is very forceful and protective will make you feel safe, while a guide who is extremely organized, will literally get you in check in whichever situation you’re in. My Gatekeeper Guide talks…A LOT! Who talks to you? I’ve got you covered there! So, do you want know the 10 Key Spirit Guides you should know? Here you go! Hmmm…perhaps you also want to know how to communicate with them? Check this post out!
- Angels were never human. So they don’t feel at all like that. When you’re in contact with an angel, you’re aware you’re in the presence of light. You’ll see flashes, visions of light or dream (daydream too) about light. Each angel has a different type of personality, so it’s only natural that each will present themselves in a way they see fit. All angels are extremely powerful, however, if you’re dealing with an archangel, be prepared to see/feel everything three-fold. You might feel challenged by angels, but you’ll never feel threatened.
Earthly Spirits
These types of spirits are very powerful as well.
- Animal Spirits
usually make themselves known visually, and via your senses. What do I mean by this? Well, have you recently started seeing the same animal over and over and over and over again? Has there ever been a situation in which one of your senses suddenly went into overdrive? Exactly. If you’re interested in learning more about animal spirits and some totem meanings, check out my post devoted to them here. - Fairies and Gnomes tend to make themselves known attitude-wise and emotionally. Are you a trickster all of a sudden? While these types of entities might seem harmless, nothing could be farther from the truth. These aren’t ‘cuddly’ spirits. Sometimes they can be vengeful. For example, are any of your objects missing? You don’t want your objects to disappear right? As with all things, you must respect these entities if you want to have a working relationship.
- Elementals are guardian spirits. They usually guard land and lineages. These are among the heavyhitters of protection. Humans tend to think in a very linear fashion. That sense of time has no business with elementals. They are as ancient as time itself. Actually, ‘time’ is quite a human concept, and elementals predate it. If you feel like a land or lineage is protected – it is. Sensing elementals is sensing an ancient power you don’t want to mess with. Elementals can be worked with, but that isn’t always advisable. Don’t disturb these ancient ones unless there is a genuine need, and no, ‘just for fun’ or ‘seeing if you can’ doesn’t count.
Learning how to sense spirits is just the beginning. Once you learn how to isolate which one you’re dealing with, you’ll learn how to start working with them. These are only some of the entities you might run across. There are many others; including ones without the best intentions. Always make sure you are protected when working with entities.
