Notes:

1. Physical and Non-Physical Energies

This planet is made up of a wide range of energies that contain both physical and non-physical elements. Scientists

are aware of the primary physical energies of the Earth which for part of the electro-magnetic spectrum. These

energies can be detected by physical instruments such as a Geiger counter for radiation. Non-physical energies, such

as Ley-Lines lie outside of the electro-magnetic spectrum and can only be detected by one of the intuitive diagnostic

techniques such as dowsing. In some cases such as determining the course of underground springs we may be

dealing with both a physical and non-physical element. For example a dowser might be tuning into the water as a

physical energy or equally he or she may be in touch with the elemental beings that work with the water.

2. The Spiritual Hierarchy of the Planet

All planets hold spiritual life that ranges down from the Planetary Deva or guardian spirit of the planet to the

elemental forces that hold its structure in place. This hierarchy is held together by love and understanding. In the

case of the Earth the guardian spirit is generally referred to as Gaia. This name is derived from the Greek goddess ofthe Earth. However it should be remembered that beings of this level are both masculine as well as feminine. It istherefore appropriate to refer to this being as Gaia/Geb. Geb being the Ancient Egyptian name for the Earth God.

The energy of Mikaal or the Archangel Michael is a being helping the planet through this important time of

transition.

3. Deva and Elemental Kingdoms

Elemental Kingdoms

We now come to a group of beings that we can neither see nor feel in a direct sense although their forms of

expression are all around us through the elements of earth, air, fire and water. We call these beings elementals

although they are also known as Faeries and are a part of the Faerie realms. Many traditional cultures have sensed

the presence of spirits in nature, indeed one major religion Shinto, from Japan, specifically worships the spirits of

place, called Kami, which reside in rocks and caves. The beings that inhabit these realms are conscious like you andI, although obviously they have a very different way of connecting to the physical world that we see around us.

Unless you possess clairvoyant vision you will not readily see the beings that lie behind these seemingly inert

elements although they are very attracted to the innocence of young children and sometimes appear to them, so the

child that claims to have seen a fairy may indeed be telling the truth. With a little practice it is quite possible to

sense their presence and if you are lucky to see them clairvoyantly, it is then possible to begin to communicate with

these beings. Fortunately myths and traditions give us glimpses into these realms and I have been very blessed byhaving the working co-operation and friendship with elementals from each of these domains, which I have worked

with now for more than twenty years.

Spirits of the Four Elements or Elementals

The spirits of the elements are divided into four categories, earth, air, fir and water. Let us look at each of them inturn.

EARTH: Earth spirits, that is the beings, which relate to rocks, stones, minerals, precious gems, hills and mountains

are traditionally called Gnomes. All aspects of the solid physical structure of the planet come under their domain.

Although they can be found within rocks, they also have a freedom to move around but generally stay close to the

ground.

WATER: Water spirits are connected to all liquids, but their presences can be felt in a much more powerful way by

streams, rivers, lakes and, of course, the sea. They are traditionally known as Undines, or Ondines although stories

of mermaids and mermen are accounts of these beings.

AIR: The spirits of the air are connected to all gaseous substances but like water beings are best sensed in winds and

breezes. Because air moves so quickly they can be difficult to pin down. They are known as Sylphs in tradition

although the perception of a fairy with tiny wings that can fly is a close approximation to how they appear to

children.

FIRE: Fire spirits can be found in volcanoes in nature but also in any fire, from candle to inferno. They are known

as Salamanders or Vulcanii and are the most difficult of all of the elementals to connect with, being said to only

associate with philosophers and adepts of the magical arts.Devas

Deva is a Sanskrit word, from the Hindu tradition, which literally means shining one. However Christian, Judaic

and Islamic cultures know these beings as angels of which the Cherubim and Seraphim are a part. It is sometimes

confusing today when people run courses about connecting with your guardian angels, for in these cases we are

dealing with homo-sapiens spirits and not spirits connected to the deva and elemental kingdoms. Once devahood

has been gained the elemental or angelic being takes on greater and greater responsibilities looking after whole

areas of land or sea and becoming responsible for groups of spirits, which are part of its retinue. There are devas

which look after towns and cities as well as tracts of the countryside. At the top of this metaphoric tree is the

Planetary Deva, which many people nowadays have come to call Gaia. More information will be given on this

being shortly but before doing so let us look in greater depth into how we can co-operate with the deva and

elemental kingdoms.

4. Nature Kingdoms

This includes all of the plant a growth kingdoms on the planet. The beings that make up these realms are very

distinct from the elemental kingdoms although the two work together very closely. Some of the most powerful

incarnate spiritual beings on the planet can be found in trees particularly and to a somewhat lesser extent in theflower kingdoms. These beings help balance the matrix of energy on the planet. It is possible to learn to

communicate and work with the different beings within the tree and plant kingdoms.

5. The Role of Animals

The animal kingdoms, which in this context can be taking to include all sentient life except human beings play a

diverse role on the planet fulfilling many different functions. The primary alignment of an animals backbone is

horizontal to the planet, which allows the animal to be more easily in touch with the energies of the Earth. We canlearn to communicate telepathically with domesticated animals and in some cases these can be very helpful in

healing work.

6. Ley-lines and Earth Chakras

Ley-lines are subtle energy lines that link places of spiritual significance. They were first documented by Alfred

Watkins in a book called the Old Straight Track published in 1926. Watkins observed that many ancient sites were

set out in alignments, which he suggested were ritual trackways linking the high points in the landscape. SinceWatkins time ley-lines have become associated with subtle energy lines, which most probably reflect telepathic

communication lines across the planet. These may or may not be akin to the acupuncture meridians of the human

body.

Earth Chakras are places within the landscape that reflect a particular chakric influence. These patterns can beobserved in small localities covering a few miles to large scale alignments like the energy line of Ireland.

7. Geopathic Stress, Underground Streams and Electro-Magnetic Pollution

This covers abroad range of potential problems that can affect the physical body. Geopathic stress includes any

earth energy disturbance of a negative quality. The causes of this might lie within the elemental kingdoms but could

equally be caused by some human activity in the past like a ritual killing.

Underground streams generate forms of dynamic energy that certainly influences the human body. Dowsers locating

these streams under beds will advise clients to move the sleeping positions as it is suggested that these energies can

give rise to serious health problems.

Electro-magnetic pollution is very prevalent at present and is a growing problem with the proliferation of mobile

phones, TV and computer circuits and such like. There are no easy shielding devices for such problems but if the

energy fields of the body are regularly balanced then much can be done to alleviate this problem.

8. Hauntings or Earthbound Spirits

Earthbound Spirits

So why might a spirit get stuck? There are many factors today that influence this transition process. In past times

religious concepts powerfully shape the views of people and whatever their failings a belief in a life after death wasan important ingredient in practically all faiths. It is not generally appreciated how important our beliefs are. Once

you have left the physical body you exist in a realm of thought you create, in effect, your own reality. If you

emphatically believe in the finality of death with the extinguishing of consciousness then this is what you will get. I

have had to help a number of souls who were, in effect, fast asleep or in an unconscious state simply because of this

belief. They had died in their beds, perhaps even whilst asleep and their spirits were lying comatose where they had

expired. The first step in helping them move on was to wake them up by sending a strong thought to their spirit to

wake up. The surprise in some of these spirits is enormous, because they cannot believe that they are still very much

alive. I then guide them gently into the tunnel of light so that they can make their transition.

This does not mean to say that every person who dies without a belief in an after-life gets stuck. It all depends upon

the evolution of your spirit and the number of previous lives that you have had. An evolved spirit will always be

able to override the patterns of the conscious mind at the moment of death. Another factor is that most people in the

past would be very aware when death was approaching, either through illness or when facing foes in physical battle.You saw your enemy and fought with him knowing that you might die at any moment. The religious rites carriedout before battle helped prepare individuals for this transition.

In the modern world death can come very swiftly in such events as road accidents, where no preparation has been

made. Such an event can cause all sorts of confusion with a spirit and they can wander lost for quite a period oftime. Major accidents, like plane crashes will often spark sympathetic feelings around the world and there are

groups in most countries today who will send healing thoughts to the souls of those caught up in these catastrophic

scenarios. This does indeed play an important role in helping those involved in these tragedies make their transition.

It is the more local, less media worthy, car crashes and such like which can sometimes leave a spirit stuck.

Another scenario that I have come across with some frequency stems from a deep fear of hell. Introducing such

concepts of heaven and hell might act as a strong incentive for keeping people to a virtuous path but it can also actdetrimentally in the process of what they go through after death. I have had to deal with many cases of spirits,

particularly those that come from a pre-nineteenth century period, terrified of leaving a house because they believed

they were going to go to hell for some past misdeed. In these cases bringing forward a powerful thought of

forgiveness was very important before finally releasing them. But is there such a state a hell?

Heaven and hell

The realms beyond our physical world are inhabited by spirits, which exist in a thought state. In other words theycreate their reality through their thoughts although obviously are also affected by the thought consciousness of all

other beings that are around them. If a spirit wishes to experience hell, and many do, then that is what they create

for themselves and they will remain in that state for as long as they choose. It might seem bizarre that a spirit should

wish to inflict such suffering upon itself, but as I have already stated we are our own worst judges.

Think for a moment what those spirits who carried out the atrocities of the twin towers WTC building in New York

will have to face when they realise what they have done. The only event, which occurs with certainty after

transition, is when the spirit has to face all of what they experienced in their lives. It is rather like visiting the

movies and seeing a replay of your life story, but done in a way that you also are very conscious of the thoughts and

feelings of those other players on the scene. You will relive again all those times when you acted in kindness and

the moments when you allowed feelings of anger or hatred to dominate your actions. You will see the effect ofthose actions on others and have a real sense of how they felt. This can be a very painful experience for a spirit to

endure for they see themselves for what they are. Remember that God does not judge, nor do those spirits taking

you through this experience judge you. The only person that judges you is yourself and we are always our harshest

critics. You will also be aware again of the karma or life plan you intended to play out and where you missed the

plot. This can also be an uncomfortable experience. Through all of this there is the loving support of wise beings

who want you to progress in a healthy balanced way. They will advise you in what you might do but without

forcing you into any action. After a period of reflection you may well then decide to incarnate again to put right

what you have set in motion in your previous life. Spirits will often incarnate together over many lives to work

through the steps necessary to find harmony and balance. In some cases they will move through a series of lives

being either a victim or a persecutor until they have moved to a point of integration where they can fully accept and

balance these two facets of their being within them.

Murders and Suicides

Murders and suicides are other scenarios, which can result in souls being trapped. Those that have had their lives

unexpected cut short by anothers actions often get stuck with feelings of anger, revenge and sometimes confusion.

They can become fixed into reliving the final scenes over and over again. Such souls need a lot of love and support

to help them let go and make their transition. The same can be said of suicides although from a slightly different

standpoint. Most people who choose to take their own lives do so because physical existence has become

unbearable for them. We choose our reality and there is a cosmic principle that we are never confronted by more

than we can endure. So any suicide can, at one level, be seen as a cop out. However some souls recognise that they

have drifted so far from their intended karmic path that it makes no sense to remain in incarnation. Taking ones life

therefore is seen as a quite legitimate option.

As you can see each situation needs to be assessed independently for there can be many different reasons why a soulchooses to take their own life. It is those spirits who commit suicide thinking they will escape reality that often getstuck. Once free of the body such individuals can often recognise that they have mistakenly curtailed their physical

existence but because of what happened are then unable to make a transition on their own. They will generally seek

out friends they have known whilst alive and latch on to them. If the friends are aware of this happening and know

what to do, they can get help to allow these spirits to move on.

Capital Punishment

No man has the right to take anothers life no matter how hideous the crime and this applies equally to a State or

Country. What is permitted is the defence of ones own life or the freedoms we enjoy. Laws should allow complete

freedom of expression as long as those freedoms do not cause suffering on others. Freedom of speech should be

sacrosanct except where that freedom is used to incite, violence, hatred and intolerance of others. It is important that

we defend our freedoms if these are threatened by those that would wish to see us enslaved. As one of my innerteachers once said, if you see a man wielding a stick and beating a child, then you need to take that stick away

from the man. Sadly the sticks today can often be guns and as recent events in Afghanistan have shown it is

sometimes necessary to take anothers life to prevent some of the terrible abuses that individuals, through their own

pain and suffering, wish to inflict on others. Nevertheless when the stick has been removed and the individual

restrained then every step should be taken to help them rehabilitate themselves back into a balanced state of living.

So what happens to the spirit that is executed through capital punishment? If humanity is lucky that soul will haverealised the error of its ways and will make a rapid transition into the spirit world where it will be helped with

further healing and balance on the spirit planes. This sadly is a rarity. More generally when such a spirit once out of

the body and free it will seek every opportunity to wreak further revenge on the society that put it through such

4


5/6

misery. And how does it do this? Quite simply by seeking out other disaffected souls and encouraging them to

further acts of brutality. A large element of the criminal fraternity comprises individuals who have been influencedor even possessed by spirits who seek to cause as much mayhem as they can. It is high time that unsocial behaviour

be treated as an illness and not as a crime. Obviously individuals need to be restrained but they should also be

helped to realise why they have acted in the way that they have, and not uncommonly it stems from some abuse in

their own childhood. If correctly treated, there are few individuals who would not respond to being helped to move

beyond the need to commit crime.

The innocence of children?It is untrue to say that every baby is born innocent for some spirits incarnate with deliberate intent to cause suffering

to those around them. We only have to look at the lives of some of the dictators of the planet to see evidence for this

statement. Yet in almost all of these cases the flames of hatred have been further fuelled by their upbringing. There

is a lot of truth in the adage show me the child to the age of seven and I will show you the adult.

I would urge any spiritual groups working in countries where capital punishment is still practiced to do whatever

they can to send thoughts of love, balance and release to those tormented souls who have to endure the termination

of their own lives. If they can be sufficiently helped then there is hope that they will not return to further inflict the

world with their feelings of revenge. All thoughts of revenge by the victims of such crime are also counter-

productive. Sectarian and racial hatreds can endure for a very long time, for all of the reasons given, before people

finally wake up to the futility of such a stance. As Christ so aptly put we reap what we sow.

Drug addiction and alcoholism

The last broad area that needs to be tackled relates to those people who die from a habitual use of mind-altering

drugs or alcohol abuse. I have already used music theory to provide an analogy of the way energy flows between

people and within us and once more this metaphor can come to our aid. What we put into ourselves in the form of

food, beverages and any other substances holds vibrational frequencies, which send their information through to the

spiritual part of our being, whilst corresponding thoughts from our mind or spiritual self affect the body.

Are drugs a spiritual experience?

In the case of those who take drugs and alcohol, these substances, when taken into the body, provide a form of

spiritual experience; or perhaps a more accurate description would be to say that the spirit of the person

undergoes, through resonance, a form distorted spiritual experience when taking these substances. In some

traditions drugs are used as part of opening up a person to spiritual awareness but for this to happen habitually orcompulsively there has to be an aspect within the spirit that is self-destructive. Now the problems endured from thistype of activity whilst in the body are as nothing compared to the agony that occurs when a spirit leaves the body at

death. They have become addicted to a form of experience that is body dependent, yet they no longer have a body

through which to experience. Sadly many such spirits are not able to make the transition through to where they

should be on the spiritual planes and become, in effect, earth-bound.

I have helped a number of such spirits move on and in the process have become very conscious of the unimaginable

suffering that they endure in this no mans land state. The only way that they can get any respite is to attach

themselves to another addict and obtain a form of secondary experience through their incarnate host. This only

perpetuates the cycle for the living addict is being further encouraged from the spirit world to continue their

addiction. This is one of the reasons why it is so hard for individuals to break free from a dependency on drugs or

alcohol. Those people who are involved with helping individuals in re-habilitation centres would do well to employthe services of a healer who can help those attached souls make their transition. Unless this is done there is a very

good chance that the individual will fall back into their self-destructive ways.

Other types of cases

The above categories cover the bulk of all of those cases that I have tackled at different stages in my life. There are

a few which fall outside of these particular types. Some cases have involved ritual sacrifices that date back in some

situations to Druidic times. These have involved occult practices of a most unpleasant nature and there is aconsiderable amount of negativity that needs to be dealt with before the spirits can be released.

5


6/6

These cases are all quite heavy in that they deal with some of the deep traumas that we can experience. I would

stress however that they are also a minority. The vast majority of people go through their lives, meeting itschallenges before moving on to experience in the realms of spirit without too much problem. As a healer you may

come across these types of case and if you do it is well to be advised on how to tackle them.

9. Healing Processes

The type of healing necessary to sort out any of these problems is dependent upon the presenting condition. Earth

energy problems can be present in a whole range of physical and psychological conditions but do need specialist

help when dealing with some of these issue.Summary:

A valuable aid to healing can be gained when an individual learns to work with some of the healing forces of the

Earth. These should not be underestimated. Most problems in this area stem from some aspect of human activity.
