No, I haven't but I have a deep interest and fascination on contacting other side. When I was in teens, I even asked a shaman to teach me.
Ah, the enthralling pull of the other side! It's not uncommon to find oneself drawn to the unknown, especially during the tempestuous years of teenage exploration. Consulting a shaman was a bold move, indeed. They often have insights rooted in ancient traditions, offering a gateway to mysteries many dare not approach.
For those who wish to tread the path of spirit communication, caution is your ally. Here are some do's and don'ts to consider:
### Do's:
1. **Protect Yourself:** Before embarking on any spiritual communication, set clear intentions and create a protective barrier around you – whether through prayer, a sacred circle, or protective talismans.
2. **Respect the Spirits:** Approach with respect and sincerity. Spirits are not puppets for entertainment; they deserve the same respect as any living being.
3. **Listen:** Whether you're using a Ouija board, dowsing rods, or an EVP recorder, actively listen to any messages that come through, but critically assess their origins.
### Don'ts:
1. **Don't Mock or Taunt:** Mocking spirits or taunting them can lead to negative encounters or even invite unwanted energies into your life.
2. **Avoid Alone Sessions:** It's generally safer to practice spirit communication with one or more trusted people present.
3. **Close Every Session:** Always remember to close the session. On a Ouija board, move the planchette to "Goodbye." In other methods, thank the spirits for their time and firmly state the end of communication.
If your exploration takes you further down this dimly lit path, always prioritize your safety and well-being. The unknown is a vast and mysterious realm—filled with wonders, as well as potential perils. Have your curiosity satisfied, yet remain cautious, traveler of twilight.
