Introduction

From ethereal beings to handsome leading men playing ghosts, most of us have some concept of what a spirit is. One of the most common ideas is that spirits haunt and generate fear .

While many popular depictions of spirits are frightening or evil, the spirit of spirit communication is generally benevolent, and comforting. Its an affirmation that our loved ones who have passed on are watching out for us and are able to provide information, insight, and guidance.

Spontaneous Spirit Contact

When spirit contact initially happens spontaneously, particularly in young children, it often paves the way for a lifetime of exploration where the individual learns to use tools for initiating spirit communication.

When Leiny was a young child in Colombia, her dead grandmother often visited her at night. Sometimes she would sit at the end of Leinys bed, talking to her, or would drift around her room like smoke, a translucent, amorphous form that sang softly. When Leiny told her Catholic parents about these experiences, they became fearful and concerned, and called in a priest who performed an exorcism on the house, on Leinys bedroom, and on her.

Shes now a thirty-nine-year-old mother of two, married to an American who is skeptical about anything connected to spirit communication. She routinely requests help and guidance from spirits when she meditates. She then looks for signs in the ordinary world that her request has been heard.

Im the exception in my family, she says. It caused me a lot of pain when I was younger, a feeling of rejection, that I was somehow strange or abnormal. But at this point in my life, Ive accepted that. I am who I am. Now she considers contact comforting and supportive.

And Leiny is in good company.

Charles Lindbergh, after flying solo for twenty-two hours over the Atlantic, fighting fatigue and inclement weather, was forced to fly so low he could feel the spray from the whitecaps. That was when his plane filled with what he described as ghostly presencesvaguely outlined forms, transparent, moving, riding weightless with me in the plane.

This type of spirit communication generally occurs when an individuals life is at risk. Its not known if Lindbergh consciously attempted spirit communication after his experience, but it certainly changed his beliefs about what is possible.

While treating a female patient with hypnosis, author and psychiatrist Brian Weiss was shocked and skeptical when the woman began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism vanished when she started acting as a conduit of information from highly evolved spirit entities

The Basics of Contact

Maybe youve experienced spontaneous spirit contact. It was unexpected and surprising, and led you to exploring the possibility that you can generate such contact. While we will provide numerous methods and practices throughout the book, its best to understand the basics of contact at the outset. Here are several essential steps allowing you to become an active participant in spirit contact.

1. Recognition : Undoubtedly, the first step for anyone interested in spirit contact is to recognize that such contact is possible. For some, thats a big step. Examine your own beliefs. If your religious upbringing causes you to believe that such contact is dangerous or evil, then its likely these fears will interfere with your efforts to make contact. Likewise, if your logical or analytical mind firmly rejects the possibility that spirits can contact the living or that you can initiate such contact, then the likelihood of success is minimized. No doubt the best way to recognize the reality of spirit contact is through your own experiences that you mightve dismissed in the past as mere coincidence. Another way is through reading contact stories told by others and noticing how they came to recognize the reality of contact.
2. Awareness: Once you have recognized that spirit contact is possible, then you need to increase your awareness of the many ways that such contact can manifest. In other words, the ethereal appearance of a lost loved one is but one way that contact might happen. Other senses, including hearing, touch, and smell, could come into play. Other possibilities: signs such as the timely playing of a particular song on the radio or the appearance of an object that reminds you of a lost loved one. Awareness of meaningful coincidences is key.
3. Intention: Spontaneous contact can be fulfilling, but even better is when you initiate the contact yourself. Thats where intention comes into play. You take the initiative to make contact. Make your request. You might repeat it to yourself or aloud. Maybe you type it on your computer, print it out, and display it where you will see it.
4. Attention: Now that youve set your intention, give it attention. Add desire. Visualize the one you want to contact, replay a good memory related to the person now in spirit. You want this experience to manifest.
5. No tension : Let it go. Release it. Youve done what you needed to do. Now just maintain your awareness, watching for signs. Keep in mind that while you initiated the request for contact, your actions could actually be the result of a nudge from the other side, from a loved one who wants to make contact.

Ways of Spirit Contact

Since we started our blog on synchronicity nine years ago, we have written several thousand posts on every aspect of this phenomenon and received more than thirty thousand comments. Since death is the ultimate mystery we all face, spirit communication has generated an overwhelming and unprecedented interest. So many individuals have shared their experiences on the blog, in private e-mails, and in person that we have amassed a database on spirit communication. It has enabled us to identify the archetypal patterns that ordinary people experience and the specific methodsthe secretsthat individuals use to converse with the deceased.
