Determining whether you are communicating with spirits or with your mind is a complex task. When your mind is quiet, your thoughts tend to slow down or become less intrusive. Clear messages that arrive consistently at these times are likely to come from spirit. With practice and experience, you will hone your ability to distinguish between the two. Recording your experiences in a journal will help you notice patterns and gain clarity over time.
Here are some factors to consider in distinguishing between the two:
1. Clarity and consistency
- Spirit Communication: Spirit messages are often clear, concise and consistent, and may provide you with information or insight that you would not have thought of on your own.
- Your own heart: Thoughts from the heart may be more fragmented, chaotic, and influenced by personal biases and your current emotional state.
2. Message Content
- Communicating with spirits: The message may contain knowledge or information that you didn’t know before or would not normally consider, or it may contain words of love, support, or encouragement.
- Your own heartYour thoughts are usually based on your current knowledge, experiences and emotional state. They may reflect your worries, fears or desires.
3. Emotional quality
- Communicating with spirits: The presence of spirits often brings a sense of peace, love and serenity. Their messages are uplifting and resonate deeply on an emotional level.
- Your own heartYour thoughts are dominated by a variety of emotions, including anxiety, stress, and fear. Your thoughts can feel heavy and burdensome.
4. Body Sensations
- Communicating with spiritsSome people report physical sensations such as chills, tingling, warmth, or a sense of presence. These sensations are usually subtle and have no physical cause.
- Your own heartMental activity does not normally produce clear physical sensations unless it triggers a stress response (such as increased heart rate due to anxiety).
Inner Knowledge
If something resonates deeply and feels right, it is spirit speaking to you. If you are unsure, seek experienced guidance from a psychic or medium. Over time, you will begin to trust who is speaking to you, whether it is a personality or a spirit. Messages from spirit can be periodically confirmed through external means, such as unexpected confirmations or synchronicities.
Tips for improving communication
- meditationRegular meditation helps to quiet the mind and makes it easier to identify the source of various thoughts.
- Set your intention: Before attempting communication, set a clear intention to connect with spirit and look for clear, identifiable signs.
- Grounding PracticeDistract yourself by doing some calming exercises or household chores. Routine tasks are great for keeping an open mind.
Being patient, open-minded, and staying grounded at the same time will help you get through these experiences more effectively.
