How to use an ouija board in more detail...
LOCATION: Do NOT choose a place where you suspect earthbound entities are gathered, or places which will generate fear in the participants, example: graveyards, haunted houses, car wreck sites, and/or and site of a tragic accident.You may do this but you get what you ask for!!!! Choose a place that feels good - hasgood feelings in the sorroundings, a home where loving people live, or a room were the air is breathable and the feeling is peaceful.
TIME: Nighttime is usually better for these things because of the reduced amount of electrical activity and interferrence in the atmosphere around you so the spirits may come to you full gear. As with most things, some days are better than others for various reasons like holloween orFriday the 13th. If you understand astrology you may wish to choose a time that is more complimentary to the sort of person you are, and the questions you will be asking. If you check the Table of Correspondences you may choose a certain hour of a certain day that will suit your purpose better.
PEOPLE: If you have 3 people of positive intention and one negative, it will lessen the chances for positive results with the spirit for the others. While the board will still work with uneasy participants in the room, their negativity will not help the planchette move.
Keep your group size limited to aroundthree to four. If there's an extra person, they can take notes and everyone can have a go at this. The more people involved, the more varied the results and contact with spirits may be.
PROTECTION:
This is very important. Don't just repeat a few words, visualise it. Start with a meditation where you concentrate on:-
- cleansing your own body, aura and chakras with a visualisation of silver rain.
- filling your bodies with white light and extend this to engulf the room you are in, and beyond if you can.
- call upon your guides to protect you and ask them to allow only information and entities through for your highest good. You may prefer to use a familiar mantra, poem or prayer while doing the visualisation. The important thing is your intent. You want to feel love and fill the room with it until you feel good. Do not be afraid. If you feel fear, don't go ahead with the seance. Feel the love envelope and protect you. That love will attract entities who vibrate to that love.
COMMUNICATION WITH THE SPIRITS: Treat astral entities the way you would like to be treated by anyone. They are not there to be commanded by you. They have come to communicate at your invitation, so treat them as a guest in your home. If a naughty child comes through, their antics can quickly become tiresome. Ask them to leave and call upon your guides to take them away.
Don't call upon specific people to come and talk unless you have a good reason. Remember, a long deceased relative may by no longer living near the earth plane and it can be very inconvenient for them to get through. They may even be reincarnated, so the entity who answers may not be the one you are expecting.
If a deceased relative seems to come through seek confirmation. Ask them personal questions about things that are not generally known - but remember not to be thinking of the answers in your head at the time - let your mind go blank about the answer.
Ultimately you have to be the judge of the information you receive by the spirit. To believe everything that comes through on the board just because it's from the other side is extremely gullible, and is like believing everything that you read in the newspaper or see on TV. If your intuition tells you there's something wrong, there probably is. If the information you're getting seems new to you, compare it with other channeled material and see if you're comfortable with it.
Always thank the entities who come to talk with you. When you've finished your session, thank all the gathered entities and ask them to go in peace back to where they have come from. Then cleanse the room again with white light.
Used properly the Ouija Board can be a positive tool to making new friends and gathering information. However, you should not just stop there and rely on the board. Work on your own spiritual development and this will not only enhance your use of the board, but may render it obselete - while at the same time improving your whole life.
---Make your surroundings comfortable and seemingly free of negative energies.
---Prepare paper and pencil or a tape recorder to record messages. You can use a camcorder if one is available. Using an infrared camcorder in a dim room is a great way to see the energies of spirit.
---Be sure your board is clean and free of dust. Wipe gently with a clean soft cloth before you begin.
---You do not have to use but is recomended to use 'spooky lighting' or candles.
---It is best not to play distracting music.
---As spirits love flowers - you might want to place some in a vase of water near the area in which you are working.
---Spirits also love water - as they are part of the collective unconscious which is the flow of water.
---Some people like to say a prayer over the board - or do some other ritual.
---Use a protective white light of energy to surround yourself, the board, those you are working with, and even the room. This white light is created by you in your mind. See it coming down into the top of your head (your crown chakra) and completely surrounding your body - then extend it outwards as far as you would like it to go.
---Decide if you want to place the board on a table, upon the knees of two persons, or where it is most confortable for you to connect.
---You can work alone or in a group. If you work with others be sure they are not negative in their thinking.
---Determine who wants to use the board - and who wants to just observe.
---It is best if someone makes notes about the letters and words given.
---Decide which person will ask the first question - and if there is to be an order to follow for asking questions.
---If everyone wants a turn at the board - it is best to go clockwise around the board with each person taking their turn.
---The time for each turn will vary with the spirit you answering.
---People may be contacted by more than one spirit. Soemtimes the spirits agrue over who is to come through.
---Though spiritual energy enters through the left side of your body - most people will use their dominate hand to work the board - which in most cases is the right hand.
---If you have telekinetic abilities and feel you can move the indicator with your mind, then it is best not to use the board as you are guiding the answers.
---You may also discover - as you work with the board - that you can subconsciously control the movement of the indicator (same as using a pendulum). If you are not sure - close your eyes and allow the indicator to go where it will.
---Some spirits move across the board quickly - while others go very slow!
---One of the first questions you might want to ask when you begin to work with your ouija board - is the names of your spirit guides. They are the ones who are here to protect and guide you. Everyone has at least one spirit guide. To find out more about connecting with them - Click here.
---You can start by asking for a message from spirit - or by asking spirit a question - such as, ""What is your name?"
---Always start with general questions. Save the personal questions for later when you are all comfortable with what you are doing!
---Stick to subjects with positive energy to begin.
---Don't ask your personal questions until you are comfortable with the spirit you are talking to.
---Once an answer is given you can ask for more information.
---It is generally best to start with simple 'Yes' or 'No' questions.
---Do not continue to ask the question over and over to seek the answer you want. Ask the question once and accept the answers given. You CAN ask for clarification of the answer.
---Ask simple questions that can be verified in the next few days to determine if your information is from spirit or form your unconscious mind.
---Questions can be about you personally - or universal or about any topic you think the spirit would like to converse about.
---You may get thought forms and mental images as you talk to the spirit - such as an image of the spirit.
---When a new entity comes through - always get its name - who they came to talk to - and what they want go discuss. A word may come through with all of the letters but in the wrong order. That is why it is best to have someone not using the board - wiritng the letters as they come through. A name may come through as ICMAHEL - meaning MICHAEL. Remember that not all spirits speak in your language. Some spirits have trouble spelling words or creating sentences.
---You might get a 'trapped spirit' that seeks help going 'to the light. If this a matter of you releasing this spirit because you have an emotional link to it - you must 'set the spirit free' and forgive whatever it wish you to forgive it from the time you knew it in the third dimension. Many spirits are trapped here and will 'guide' you to a ouija board to tell you to release them.
---If you do not know the spirit who wish to be released - then send it away and say you are not qualified to help them.
---If spirits ask you to do weird things - stop using the board for that session. Anything negative being written on the board means you must put the board away for that session whether you want to or not. The entity should leave by your next session - which can be that day or some time later.
---You do not have to work with the same group of friends each time you use the board.
---Do not ask spirits to bring you things you want but would not otherwise have. All spirit have their boundaries. You must find out the limitations of the spirit you are talking to.
---Never ask spirits to do harm to others.
---Never use the board to control others.
---Do not let others use your board when you are not using it.
---Keep the board in a special place of your choosing.
---Do not get addicted to the board.
---Using a ouija board is not a 'medium' for everyone. Some people get it immediately others never do. This seems to have no bearing on whether one is psychic or not. Many psychics can't work a Ouija Board.
---With experience you can learn to channel your deceased loved ones and entities from other realms.
---Some days the board may work for you. Others days you may get no responses
