Write your reply.

assistant: Hi All,
Now I have heard different things said about auras. I have heard
different interpretations given for the different colours which may
appear in the aura.
I have heard that gold is a colour which is associated with the
Masters. I have heard that purple is a colour connected with psychic
abilities. I have heard green is associated with healing qualities of
a person. I have heard that yellow is associated with the intellect.
What do you say on the colours and what they mean in the aura? Does it
follow that all individuals would use the colours (energies) in the
aura in the same way?
Does anyone have some tips on how I could see auras?
Regards
Peter

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi All,
Are rituals important?  Have we lost something by the abandonment of
ritual by contemporary society?
Buddha said rituals could not give a person salvation. However could
rituals be a means of engaging the person in pychological well-being?
That is to say can rituals be a means of supplying useful tools for a
person's well-being.

So do I.  I'm really tired of being sick every seven days with no reason
why.  Anyway, I'm ready to go...so post away.  Like I told Bobby in another
post, most of my channeling is person specific not general to the public
messages, so I can only channel for and answer specific questions from
people who post to me.

Hey, Bobby...So sorry about not posting lately.  Feeling better...YES!...
Out of the woods....NO!  And they still don't know why I get sick every
seven days.
In any case, about your question, yes, channeling can help you find out
what spirits are living with you in your home.  I would guess that there
are some general house/hearth spirits there...the little ones that protect
the house and occupants.  But, I would think that you have some guardians
around you.
My channeling services are usually by trade or donation...however, I do
take on some channeling cases purely for the chance to work on my channels
and do it for free.  If you're interested in being one of those cases, let
me know and I'll see what I can do for you.
Until then, I'll catch you later.
(BTW, we need to get some more people into this echo...got any ideas.  I
can't believe that I'm the only channeler or that no one else is interested
in channeling.)

Hello, I'm Christina Fields...or as I am called elsewhere...Kallista.
    What type of abilities do you have?  Anything you can pinpoint?  Do you
have any channeling type of abilities?
    Hmmmm....how old are you, if you don't mind me asking?
    Before I post more to you...could you answer some things for me?  I'm a
high priestess, 1st Level Strega...and I do a lot of teaching.  What type
of studies are you doing?  Do you have someone who is teaching you?  What
religion/faith have you grown up in...IOW, what religion/faith does your
Mom follow?  In your studies have you learn about using shields?
    That's just some stuff to put me on the same wave length as you are.
You can always catch me here in Channeling, but my e-mail address is
kallista@panetwork.com; just in case you want to talk about more of this
in a more private setting.

assistant: I am teaching myself...kinda.  So far I only FEEl spirits I don't communicate
with them really yet.  Sometimes I pick up on other's emotions and
thoughts...if i'm not trying to that is.  I've learned about sheilds. I grew
up Catholic and my mom doesn't practice she doesn't have enough time for that
she is a nurse.  Wicca is one of my handles...Umm I'm 17 (today's my
birthday) I've been learning from books...Ted Andrews hasn't been that much
help...and both me and my brother think D.J Conaway is full of crap. I've
tried to learn about Astral Travel and Past lives...past lives I can handle
but something keeps telling me I'm not ready for Astral Travel yet...So for I
can't even see Auras but I'm getting better.  So far all that has happened is
that my mom had just had surgery on her right knee and she was home all by
herself and I was across town...all of a sudden I felt this sharp pain in my
right knee and I called my mom and she had just fallen trying to use her
crutches.  I've done things like that all my life I just didn't take them
seriously until a year ago.

Sounds like my problem.  Since I got out of the hospital in late January I
have been staying sick and getting better then getting sick again.  Still
not back to 100%.  On my best days I'm around 80% I'd guess.
I think the 2 or 3 that I know about are guardians.  At least 2 are
relatives.
Sure, I'd like to know for sure.  I could tell you about a time I fell in
1989 and someone caught me and saved me from falling on cement blocks and
possibly getting hurt bad.
I know, I had someone tell me in here he was going to send some people over
this way but no new names yet till just yesterday when one new one showed
up in here and in another echo I moderate.  I'll work up another ad and
advertise it in ECHO_ADS.
