Journey of Souls
Still your mind, clear your thoughts, relax and be at ease. Sit very still, breath slowly and evenly in and out, until such time as you realize you are breathing but very small amount. This is akin to what it is like to be dead, there is no breath, and all is still. Stay in this moment for a time and feel all that is around you.

Feel out with your aura, until you sense a chord coming from you, do not cut this, but follow it up as far as you can, notice the changes around you and your surroundings. This is what it is like to be outside your body, keep going never letting go of your chord, eventually you will feel cold, or a presence these are the spirits that exists around you.

Remember what it is like to feel their presence and follow the chord back down to your body. Now reach out with your mind but do not exit the body, just float with your mind to that very same place, what you see or hear, these are the things that the dead feels. They are here and they are everywhere.

Eventually you will find yourself more capable of sensing their whereabouts, as much as their thoughts and feelings. They will be attract to your light and warmth as you are alive. Most who comes to you often need counselling or help of some kind.
