Discovering how to speak to spirits can be an intriguing and enlightening journey for those seeking a deeper connection with the spiritual realm. Whether you are a novice explorer or an experienced practitioner, mastering the techniques of spirit communication opens the door to becoming an experienced paranormal researcher. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into proven methods that can help you establish meaningful communication with spirits. So, grab your metaphorical compass and let's navigate through the realms of the unseen.

Understanding the Essence of Communicating with Spirits

Before diving into the techniques, it's essential to grasp the fundamental principles underlying spirit communication. Spirits are believed to be energetic entities that exist beyond the physical realm, operating on a higher frequency. Communicating with spirits involves tapping into this energy and establishing a connection through various channels. Keep in mind that spirit communication is a skill that requires patience, practice, and an open mind.

Tools of the Trade: Enhancing Communication Channels

Divining Rods: Divining Rods are a popular tool used to communicate with spirits and receive guidance. Choose a pair that resonates with you, make sure to hold them balanced and without interference from your body, and ask yes and no questions with direction.

For example, ask "Please, cross the rods if you are female or touch the rods to my shoulders if you are male." Allow the rods to move without impeding them. Be mindful of staying as still as possible.

Pro-Tip: I often tilt the rods slightly down to the ground not parallel to the ground and sit with my arms braced on my legs to keep my body as still as possible.

Pendulum Dowsing: Pendulum dowsing is a technique that involves using a suspended weight to receive yes or no answers from the spiritual realm. Hold the pendulum steady and pose simple yes or no questions. Observe the movement of the pendulum to decipher the responses from the spirits.

Pro-Tip: Bring a table with crystals placed around the mat.

Here is my suggested shopping list:

Spirit Boxes: Spirit Box is a technique that involves using a radio device that scans frequencies at a quick rate of speed. The receiver is used to allow spirit to create an interference in the transmissions and communicate with you in live question and answer sessions. I try to avoid "yes/no" questions and focus more on answers that may require multiple syllables to answer. Concentrate on listening for the same voice to be heard during the session.

Pro Tip: A good pair of headphones will be a great tool to have directly attached to the Spirit Box.

Creating Sacred Space for Spirit Communication

Altar Setup: Establishing a sacred space dedicated to spirit communication can enhance the vibrational frequency of your interactions. Create an altar with meaningful objects, such as crystals, candles, toys, and incense, to invite spiritual energies into your space. Designate this area for your spirit communication practices to cultivate a sense of reverence and focus.

Setting Intentions: Before initiating a communication session, set clear intentions regarding the purpose of your interaction with spirits. State your intentions aloud or in your mind, inviting positive and benevolent spirits to communicate with you. Clarity in intention can help establish a harmonious connection with the spiritual realm.

Pro Tip: These same intentions should be stated at the end as well, focusing on thanking those who wished to communicate and that they cannot follow you from this investigation site or session. We call it "closing the door" when I host Paranormal Investigations for my tour guests.

Practicing Discernment and Protection

Discerning Spirit Communication: Not all spiritual energies that come through are benevolent or helpful. Practice discernment by tuning into the energy and intentions behind the messages you receive. Trust your instincts and be cautious of any communication that feels unsettling or negative. Remember, you have the power to choose which energies to engage with.

Pro Tip: Be cautious of child spirits that may be malevolent spirits attempting to have you be more open to communications. If you find that any communication from the other side has a gut reaction that something is wrong. Stop immediately. If you can't stop, attempt to restate the intentions you stated before your investigation began.

Energy Protection: Prioritize your energetic protection before engaging in spirit communication. Visualize a shield of white light surrounding you, creating a barrier against any unwanted or intrusive energies. Practice grounding techniques, such as connecting with the Earth's energy, to maintain your energetic boundaries during spiritual interactions.

Pro Tip: Be cautious of feeling tired during the investigation that is brought on suddenly. Never ask to be touched or for a spirit to use your energy. It is okay for them to draw energy from other sources such as batteries and we often see this during investigations.

Remember Why We Investigate

Mastering the art of spirit communication is a transformative journey that can lead to profound insights, healing, and spiritual growth. By incorporating these techniques into your spiritual practice and maintaining an open heart, you can establish a harmonious and enriching connection with the spiritual realm. Remember, spirit communication is a sacred dialogue that honors the interconnectedness of all beings in the vast cosmic tapestry or the "one source."

But also be weary of searching for answers to substantiate your existence or overcome mourning a loved one who has passed on. Often, you will find the void on the other side silent. When mourning, this silence can cause suffering in the one searching for answers.

Give yourself time to properly mourn your loved one who has passed before ghost hunting. You should give yourself time to go through all the phases of grieving. Remember, when ghost hunting, we open ourselves up to energies that may not have our best intention at heart.

On a personal note, this author did not take her advice after her father passed. The void was deathly quiet on the other side and I interpreted that silence as disappointment and anger from my father which fueled my grieving and my spiral into sadness. Once, I was able to properly grieve, my father was able to make himself known to me.

Pro Tip: It is best to keep your heart open and ask a loved one for an Angel Wink. An Angel Wink is a sign that the spirit is fine and waiting on the other side. Some ask for a butterfly, an item the passed on person was associated with, or a particular flower. This is not necessarily ghost hunting, but is a mild communication channel that will leave you less vulnerable during the period of mourning a loved one.

Embracing the Wisdom of Spirit Communication

As you embark on your exploration of spirit communication, trust in your innate abilities and embrace the mysteries that unfold. The keys to the unseen realms await those who approach with humility, reverence, and a keen sense of curiosity. Open the door to the wisdom of the spirits, and let their guidance illuminate your path on the transformative journey of spiritual discovery.

FAQ

A message from a heavenly figure or passed soul to a recipient here on Earth. Some popular ones are floating feathers, coins where they should not be, and butterflies.

A device used to communicate with spirits based on radio and which scans through frequencies to produce white noise. This white noise is then believed to be formed into communication with spirit on the other side.

No. Copper tends to be the most popular but I have used aluminum and steel rods as well. I have known people to fashion rods out of metal coat hangars and they work!

Which ever time works for you! Contrary to popular opinion, you do not have to wait until it is dark to try to ghost hunt or communicate with spirits.
