For what reasons do spirits communicate with us?


spirits in transition

Spirits communicate with us for many different reasons. Sometimes we are contacted by a spirit in transition. These are spirits who remain in the physical world for only a brief period of time, usually because they have a need to communicate with a loved one. For example, a mother may want to make certain that her children are going to be all right before she moves on. In some cases, the spirit may be unable to move on because someone close to him is having a hard time accepting his death and letting him go.

 

mindset spirits

Often called "ghosts," these spirits can remain in the physical world for much longer periods of time. They may refuse to believe that they are dead or, in some cases, they may be unable to find their way to the spirit realm. Others may be locked in a "mindset" for other reasons, often psychological ones. Mindset spirits may try to communicate with us in an attempt to get help. Some are trying to ask for forgiveness. Others want to create a disturbance for one reason or another.  We've all heard about or have been inside a so-called haunted house.  The spirits that live in these houses are usually troubled. It's not uncommon for such a spirit to believe that it is her house, resenting the intrusion of other people. Such a spirit will try hard to frighten the inhabitants in the hope that they will eventually leave.


karma spiritS

The third kind of spirit that may communicate with us is the "karma spirit."  While the karma spirit hasn't a personal need to communicate, he may attempt to do so in the process of fulfilling his service as a protector spirit or a guide. He might, for example, awaken a mother so she can attend to a child that is in need of help.
