The Truth Behind Belly Energies and Psychic Abilities

Communications from spirit Guides and ghosts is somewhat of a mystery to most of us, but yet there are those who say they can openly communicate with other-worldly beings they call Guides and ghosts.

There are a variety of ways in which a Guide or a departed spirit can communicate with a medium or psychic. Often these communications are through what is called the "clair senses."

Clair senses is a collective word, meaning that the Guides' communication can utilize any of the following types of psychic sensitivity which co-mingles the physical body's normal five senses.

The five sense and the clair sense involved are:

Clairaudience

Clairaudience are perceive sounds (or words) that a person can actually hear when, in fact, no one is speaking and nothing physical is causing the sounds. The sounds are thought to be impressions that register themselves on the spirillae of the ear's pineal gland. It is believed that clairaudience sounds go through the same process that normal hearing does, passing through the Third Eye chakra of the head.

Clairsavorance

Clairsavorance is translated as clear tasting. The person experiences tastes in the mouth without putting anything physical actually in the mouth.

Clairscient

Clairscient means to smell a fragrance or odor of a substance which is not physical in nature. For example, you might smell cigarette smoke when you are in a place where it is certain no one is smoking or has smoked.

Clairsentience

Clairsentience allows a psychic to perceive information as a feeling within the whole body without any other stimuli related to this feeling or information, which comes from within the body, down the kundalini to the stomach area or solar plexus. The stomach area is one of the strongest communication centers that Guides frequently use to communicate.

Clairvoyance

Clairvoyance means to see into an ethereal dimension without using physical eyes. Some describe it as reaching into another vibration frequency and visually perceive "within the head" something like moving pictures. The third eye area of the forehead is one of the other strongest communication centers that Guides frequently use to communicate.

Since this article is focused on the "belly energies" and psychic abilities, we will narrow our focus to the area of the clairsentience.

In his historic writings of "Psychic Science," Sir Oliver Lodge spoke about what he called "clairvoyance or lucidity" and raised the older concepts that were coined as "reading with the pit of the stomach." According to Lodge, using the stomach or belly area as the channel for psychic communications was an established practice.

That is an interesting observation when you look more globally at the ancient's beliefs about the belly. The Chinese called this belly chakra the "chi point," while the Japanese termed it the "hara" or "ki point." As the body's balancing chakra, this area is located one and a half inches below the navel and one and a half inches inward toward the spine. It is the "energy" that the body generates, some call it a power-center.

In writing this article, I spoke with world renown psychic and author Jane Doherty because as a psychic she experiences a physical phenomena that relates to Sir Oliver Lodge's concept of "reading with the pit of the stomach."

Whenever there are ghosts around Jane Doherty, she has an amazing physical reaction to them. The reaction Jane has is that her stomach area actually enlarges by as much as six inches around within seconds. And, Jane tells us that it is extremely painful to her when this happens. If you watch Jane while her stomach expansion is happening, you are going to hear her moaning and see her wincing … and trust me, it is not dramatics … Jane is in definite pain.

With regards to her expanding tummy, Jane says, “It feels like a contraction when a woman is in labor, but it doesn't ever release me until the spirit leaves. Instead, the stomach expands as if I was nine months pregnant.” Jane actually describes it as very intense muscle cramps, where her stomach is physically gripped by the ghost, and if you watch, the belly will actually lift up. Jane continues, “Often I can tell by the grip whether it is a female, male or child spirit. It first happened to me in 1990, when I investigated my first haunted house with a researcher.”

Psychic Jane Doherty has this psychic belly experience as she applies her clairsentience skills, but interestingly enough the phenomena only happens when a ghost is present and not when a Guide is present. You can learn more about Jane Doherty's psychic abilities in her book "Awakening the Mystic Gift: The Surprising Truth About What It Means to Be Psychic," which chronicles Jane's own psychic awakening and what it truly means to be psychic. You can also view her expanding stomach area on TLC's Dead Tenants show in which Jane co-stars. Jane's book and book club are located at www.Herbal-College.com.

Doreen Virtue, author of "Clairaudience: Hearing Your Angels' Messages," says that clairsentients get divine guidance through bodily sensations, such as a tightening of the jaw, fists, stomach or sex organs, and that they intuitively know the specific meaning of these tightening reactions. She further adds that clairsentients receive angelic guidance through an etheric sense of smell, taste, and touch.

Renowned medium John Holland says pointedly that the hot spot for clairsentients is the stomach.

Clearly the "belly energies" and "psychic abilities" are intrinsically related as a compliment that helps allow mediums to communicate with Guides, ghosts and other-worldly beings. The stomach area is indeed one of the strongest communication centers frequently use to communicate with that which has no physical form.

Dear Friends,

Judging by the flood of emails I have received about detoxification, it's a topic that's very much on people's minds. Of course, the idea of detoxification is hardly a new one.

A History of Cleansing
Body purification has been a part of mankind's rituals for health and well-being for thousands of years. Cleansing is a rich tradition that has helped humans through all ages and cultures. In ancient times, it was used as a way to reconnect with the divine. Today, detoxification is a necessary commitment for staying healthy. It is a way to clean out environmental pollutants, drug residues, and collected waste matter trapped in our bodies. We are all affected by the enormous amount of environmental toxins and stresses assaulting us in our world. We all make unhealthy life choices now and again, be it food or otherwise. Eventually, this situation catches up to us. How do we remain healthy in light of this assault? Detoxification is a good place to start.

Getting the message out
I was a little surprised at the overwhelming response I received to the email about detoxification I sent out at the beginning of this month. Clearly, it shouldn't be a shock that people need help with their detox. It's a complicated subject, and preparing for your detox can be daunting without some guidance.

Supplement industry may challenge FDA rules on ad claims - The FDA has successfully blocked the sellers of vitamins and minerals and herbal remedies from informing consumers about those health benefits by preventing claims that supplements prevent, treat or cure disease.

Will N.M. be the first state to ban aspartame?
The 2006 campaign to get rid of aspartame is now expanding on two fronts. On the first front, another Nutrition Council bill has been introduced with the political support of Governor Bill Richardson, who has enthusiastically placed it on the agenda for the 2006 short session, which he controls, doubly endorsing it with an Executive Message.

Support the Health Freedom Protection Act
Imagine how much healthier we would be if, before leaping to purchase synthetic prescription drugs, we turned to foods and natural remedies as the first step toward solving our health problems. A bill has been introduced into the U.S. House of Representatives which would give consumers access to truthful, non-misleading health information; send a letter to support the Health Freedom Protection Act today!
