Wow! I had all but given up on replies to these problems and I can't thank you, both of you, enough for your guidance. I will try to open myself up before I go to bed. Part of the problem could come with lack of privacy with the exception of my bedroom. My ability to block spirits worked for awhile in my life, I was just frightened, I knew they were real. It was the feeling of not knowing what I could do about them that was the larges obstacle. I have been reading books by Brian Weiss M.D. for the past two weeks and have read 4 of them and feel assured of reincarnation, Having the NDE when I was young and experiencing the light found me convinced but I stopped reading so much of it and now I find myself trying to meditate and recieve in those times. I am still getting visitors in my room! Not always disturbing , not always dead, sometimes it is the people in my everyday life to bring me something or a request. One night I had a dream that my oldest daughter was cold and shivering. (dream?) and I got up out of bed with a blanket to cover her, when I started searching around I woke up from what seemed like a trance and realized she no longer lives with me and hasn't for years. Yes, she called me the next morning to say she was so cold and she woke up with a blanket on her that she had no recollection of getting and had dreamt I was there covering her up. These are stange occurences but rather funny. But the ones where I see plane crashes or disasters follow me around for weeks until they happen. Spirits seem to appear and I yell at them to prevent them from falling when they are up on my dresser. Last night found me waking up to opening a box that was not there. I was being shown old paperwork and I had my identification and my old papers in laminate. I was being asked how and why I did that. I responded aloud, "In the usual way." I woke up knowing I was sealing myself off from memories or messages. anyway, I will try all you have suggested. Thanks again:
