The Spirit World - Paranormal Phenomena - http://maxpages.com/witch1garden/The_Spirit

This page was inspired by me to set up by a dear friend whom is in the proccess of learning a gift. You may also look at "Dream Spirits", which is contacting spirits through dreams, but this page will also ref. to it's information as well...

Now, there are several ways to contact spirits. We all know the easiest way is by means of the Ouija Board. This is also one of the more dangerous ways... Why? Well, simply said... You can't control whats coming through the board, and you normally can't force it back through the "window" you created, if its a strong enough spirit...
You can purchase OR make boards and pointers. The pointer is what acts like the "window" you are opening up, giving the spirit world access to speak or come back through partially into our "world". ***IF*** you decide to use this as a means of communication PLEASE remember to NOT leave the pointer on the board or you will keep that window open, and PLEASE BE CAREFUL in blessing the board. Once it is blessed, you will never be rid of it unless it "chooses" another "host". In other words, may death do you part. *grin*

You can also contact spirits in your dreams. Although this is by far a hard thing to do if you're not experienced, it is more efficient. Most of us only remember dreams with some kind of value to it. More than likely contacting the spirit world in your dreams works in "reverse", meaning, it's usually the spirits contacting YOU. Generally this will only happen if an entity is trying to get a message through to you, or you to it (him/her), or if a spirit is acting as "the messanger". Meaning, who you are trying to contact cannot come through to you for one reason or another, so another is taking his/her place. You MUST be able to conjur enough emotion to contact through your dream, if it is you doing the contacting.

Some people are very adept at "seeing" spirits. This can happen on several levels:
ACTUALLY, Physically seeing them
Seeing a spirits Outline (some would call that an Aura field)
Feeling them (you sense them, can feel where they are at, but don't actuall see them)
See them in your mind (not physically seeing them with your eyes, but only in your mind)

The more common way people see them is through the corner of their eyes or you just "feel" something. SO you walk into a room, see something in the corner of your eye, look, it's gone, but it keeps happening all over again... You walk into a room, feel like something is there but see nothing. Maybe the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, or feel a little prickly...
And more often than not its children who see the most, as nothing has "over-thrown" this ability to see things as they are. This is why sometimes children see things in the dark, draw odd things, maybe color a person or an animal in a coloring book green or red...

So lets get down and dirty with how you can start to train yourself to use this gift (if you have the gift, most people do on SOME level, and you are supposed to use it).

Let me tell you a little about mine. Now, every woman in my family has this gift. To be frank, its a wonderful thing to have but sometimes it can really suck.
It used to be when I was younger I would hear weird things, feel something around me, or in the dark (which i'm still afraid of), see things like hands reaching around my bedroom door... Scary stuff huh? We chalk it up to a kids imagination, and on some level that may be true... This went on until I was around 12 years old, then one "fine" day, I was sleeping on the couch in my old living room, in the middle of the night, and I heard something in my ear say my name like a whisper, I looked up and said "mom?", and saw something in white pass by the back-board of the couch. I naturally assumed it was my mother, as she has a silk white bathrobe.
So, I get up to follow my mother into the kitchen... Nothing there... So I walk through the hallway, past my bedroom, peak into my mom's room, and she is sound asleep. needless to say it sucked... I was so darn scared... I ran back to the couch and buried my face into the back cushion, and would not look up until I heard my sister getting up for school.
After that things just started happening... I guess the spirits decided it was my time to start using my gift...

If you are already seeing or feeling things, regardless on how small the feeling or the sight is, start concentrating on what you feel or what you saw. REALLY push your mind to delve further. It may come naturally, or you may just give yourself a headache.
If you are REALLY trying to "activate" your sixth sense for it, try going to a place you know may have spirits. A lot of houses may, do NOT go directly into a graveyard (it's disrespectful on some levels unless you are there for a spacific purpose), but try staying about 10 to 15 feet from the gates. During the day is a very safe way, as you normally will only feel, or at night where you are more likely to see and hear things as well... Again, PUSH your mind to accept its surroundings and let in what you would normally be stopping yourself from experiencing. Don't always frequent the same places, try new ones.
Try driving through old neighborhoods that have some historical value...
Spirits in HOUSES are more frequently found in attics or bacements, although some just are all over the house, or "roam".
It may be prudent to learn how to see Aura's first and formost, as once you can see auras... Well... everything has energy surrounding it... Even energy...
Humans, Nature, Spirits, even stationary objects like your desk or a banister railing has some kind of energy around it (although those stationary things you will generally just see light around it with no real color or defined shape). Learn that, and it will be easier to do more than feel, hear, or see things out of the corner of your eyes.
You may also use crystals to help "guide" you. Each crystal and type of crystal hones spacific types of energy.
As an example, Apache Tears are known for protection, as is Amethyst. If you are planning on doing something dangerous, just to gain ground on your training, like... "ghost hunting"..., keep some of these crystals on you. They won't protect you from everything, but they certainly can help.
