Are you astral traveling?

Being open to unseen energies, psychic or intuitive, does not mean we’re open 24/7. Psychics and mediums get to have office hours and time off like everyone else.

I had a wonderfully intuitive student who was very open, with great energy boundaries.

No matter how many times she set the intention that no spirits were allowed in the bedroom and bathroom, they still kept turning up – playing with the light switch, making footstep sounds generally interrupting family time.

She even stuck post it notes around the house, and it kind of worked, only now the spirits gathered outside the bedroom! “What’s going on?” She said.” I did everything right.” And she did.

Spirit did listen and they stayed out of HER world, but much to her surprise she was wandering into theirs, by not shutting down energetically at night.

With her energies open and shining, it’s natural for spirit to draw close. She was a dedicated medium and enthusiastic, so this simple step was easily overlooked.

Those on the spiritual path do shine bright, it’s very attractive for those from the spirit plane. Especially the spiritual plane close to us – the astral. Being so close and permeable, it’s easy for a medium to inadvertently slip there.

When that happens, know your awareness open and bright and has attracted them. It’s nothing to fear. You just forgot to turn the porch light off. Set the intention to close down and mentally announce you’re off the clock. Visualise the light switching off and affirm to the world, “My light is off. I am sleeping. I am off duty.”

When we sleep, our spirit has a little vacay. It takes a holiday. It goes wandering off and does whatever spirit things it needs. It’s mobile. It’s moving, and it can journey to those other spiritual planes, like the astral.

Ancient texts mention 7 heavens or 7 planes, and the astral is the closest to us. It’s the most dense, being closest to our world, the earth plane that we live in. It’s a lot more like earth, and people that pass over that aren’t quite ready to transition to the higher planes, they’re more comfortable in the astral.

Many spirits reside in the astral for a while until they’re ready to move to the next planes. It’s like a rest stop for weary souls to adjust to a new lighter body.

It’s very easy for us to slip into that, especially if we are asleep, because we’re already in an altered state. We’re already receptive to other energies, so it’s quite natural to travel there rather than they travel to us.

Next time unwelcome spirit guests pop in because they saw your light on, consider you may be astral travelling.

All mediums need to develop good spirit boundaries, and having set times to work and rest is one. Any more spirit boundaries you need help with? Send me a message and I can dedicate a blog to it.
