There are a variety of reasons that a spirit will be around you. The reasons vary as much as the personalities and experiences of spirits, but here are a few things that may be the cause and being aware of them can help to prevent the situation from being repeated.

Calling spirits - Using Ouija Boards, practising black magic, in fact just thinking about spirits can bring them to you. I get the impression from the guides that all spirits are dealt with in time and when the time is right, they are taken to someone who can deal with them. The problem is that too many people with too little experience and knowledge try different ways and means of communicating with spirit using it for entertainment purposes which when you think about it is pretty deplorable considering they're using souls in pain for their entertainment. Only through educating our own children and those around us to the truth can we eventually encourage a more mature and responsible approach to the subject within society in general.

Thinking about spirits - As I said, just thinking about a spirit can bring them to you. Your thoughts travel on your energy and when you think of loved ones who have passed on, they hear it or rather 'feel' it. How wonderful is it to know that a simple 'I love you' is received so easily. The same happens in reverse too. Sometimes when thoughts of them pop into your head out of the blue, they're thinking of you and passing on their love.

The downside to this is that people who are experiencing imbalance in some way - be it emotional or mental - can attract negative earthbound spirits to them unwittingly through their thoughts. This does not mean that:

• negative spirits are only drawn to negative or imbalanced people.
• only people going through difficult periods will attract spirits.
• whenever you have a period of imbalance or upset that you will attract spirits.

None of these things are true. It is simply that in some circumstances a spirit can be drawn to you in a period of unrest or unhappiness - particularly if a spirit who's looking to cause mischief just happens to pass by at a time when you're feeling particularly down or insecure.

Of course a spirit's reasons for coming to you will be their own and they can be varied. It's good to be aware of what can draw them to us and sometimes they are drawn to us due to something or someone around us and if we find that we are constantly finding a stream of negative entities coming to us who are causing us disruption, we may be able to find a cause and put a stop to it.

Should you find that you have a lot of entities coming to you, not just negative ones and you've eliminated all reasons for them coming, there is one more that could be the reason. You could be a medium. Spirits are aware of mediums just as mediums are aware of them. The guides tell me that mediums send out a sort of energy beacon that is recognized by spirits. With luck, you'll be able to pick up on them and calmly direct them to either the other side or away from your home so they can find who is to help them.

Through the help of your guides and your protection methods, you should be able to create a comfortable situation around yourself, your family and the spirits that 'pop in'. Some people are very comfortable with the spirits and the energy that floats around them and find that the spirits move along of their own volition, so they only really need to deal with the ones that become a bother. This is fabulous. Some people choose to only work with spirits when the time suits them. In my case, if I sense spirits around the home, I will ask the guides whether I am to help them. If not, I lovingly send them on their way. Sometimes the spirit will ask to stay for a day or two, but then I'll move them along so that they can find the person who is to help them. Also, you'll find that the children of psychics generally tend to be psychic themselves and spirits can be quite disruptive to them. In my case, whenever there's a spirit in the house, both of my children have disrupted sleep patterns so I tend to move the spirit along when I can so that the kids can rest peacefully at night.

You may ask why you cannot help each spirit who comes to you. Well, you may be very lucky and only have spirits brought to you by your guides that you are to help with, but usually the occasional one is attracted to you and will wander in for a different reason and be in need of help. I have had the guides bring a spirit to me in preparation for crossing over because they felt that I could deal with an issue that the person had and then they were taken to someone else to cross over. I'm not sure why, but obviously the guides had their reasons. The guides tell me that the person who is to help the spirit is carefully chosen, just as a guide is carefully chosen for us. Personality, personal experiences and understanding - that sort of thing means that there will be one or a number of people who are best suited to work with each spirit.

If you are told not to work with the spirit or feel that this is the case, then please respect that. It will be because there are issues about the soul that you are not aware of. I've seen people whose desire to help overrode their commonsense and they ended up angering a spirit that then went on to harass people and then I had to step in and settle it back down again. It's best to just be safe and help the ones you can, feeling satisfaction in making a difference.

I also ask my guides not to bring spirits to me unless I put time aside to work with rescues and on the odd occasion, the guides will bring someone to me if it is important that they cross over immediately. I'm only sharing this info so you can see that you have a choice of how you can work with them.

At this point, you may ask why the guides don't just lead the spirits home. In many cases they do. They remind me that the spirits are earthbound (having left their physical body but remaining in their energy body on Earth) and there are various reasons why they may not be crossed over by the guides. For one, the spirit involved may need that physical connection to get their attention, they may relate better to someone in the physical realm and we can never forget that the individual makes decisions for themselves so it's not as if the guides can force them to cross over.

Considering the fact that the spirits have that spiritual plus physical connection, perhaps the spiritual is tried and if not successful, then it is tried from the physical end of things and that leaves us to try and help. Sometimes the spirits don't actually listen to the guides either. I remember a young, strong-headed spirit who deliberately ignored the guides in preference for speaking to me because he was annoyed and considered the guides to be goody-two-shoes. That was a stubborn young man of around 23 from memory and I guess he thought of the guides in the same manner as parents or teachers from a lifetime. He wanted to speak to someone he considered normal and he felt that if I told him it was okay, he'd believe it easier. It was just his belief. He turned out to be fairly easy to convince. He just felt better speaking with a physical person.

You can ask your guides to assist you by bringing suitable spirits to you when you're ready to perform rescues, but generally you will develop a situation that suits you best.

I often find that working with spirits tends to draw other spirits so just be aware of this. If you find that they're gathering in bunches, you may wish to let them know that you're not performing rescues at the moment and they'll possibly return when you are ready or will find somebody who can help them. You can also ask your guides to help move them away.
