Connecting With The Dead During Readings

[Mato Kinze]

How does connecting to the deceased differ from connecting to a sitter's Guides? For you, I mean. I get the difference between Guides and Ancestors.

Does Bob help out as an intermediary, or do you connect directly?

Have you ever encountered "snooty" Guides that were present but didn't want to share?

Do the deceased or guides ever express anger or irritation with the sitter? Familiars, I mean -- not the just plain ornery bad energy entities.

[Erin Pavlina]

When I connect with the guides they present as a collective energy. I can feel many minds.

When I connect with a deceased person their energy comes through more singularly, usually more emotionally, and sometimes like static. Sometimes they are waving around doing like charades. Sometimes they're speaking. And sometimes they're flashing scenes at me like a slide show. They're less coordinated than the guides, energetically speaking. Occasionally a dead person will come through very strong and powerfully like they were born to be Patrick Swayze

Bob acts as my conduit, like the guy at a big ball who announces the visitors, "The Duke and Duchess of Windsor" (cue the applause). He is my gatekeeper, only letting through the energies that are supposed to be present during a reading, otherwise it's like "sack the quarterback!" time.

None of the guides I've encountered were snooty. Some were aloof. Some were present but didn't share answers to certain questions. Sometimes I can feel/hear the guides conferring with eachother on how to answer a question.

Angela, sometimes the guides are very amused with their sitter and take them to task in an amusing manner like, "Angela, Angela, Angela... 3 bottles of wine last night? Tsk tsk..." Can't recall a time they expressed anger or other low vibration emotions. Most of them feel patient, kind, loving, wise, analytical, playful, amused, dedicated, etc.
