	Ghosts & the Spirit World
	Wednesday May 21, 2008

Celebrated medium James Van Praagh returned for a discussion on his encounters with ghosts and the spirit world, as well as his psychic intuitions. Everyone is mediumistic to some extent and can channel energy from the spiritual dimension or their higher self, he declared. When a person dies, their connection with the "silver cord" is severed and their consciousness becomes expanded, he added. Van Praagh said that he's seen dark energies in bars and clubs.

	Thursday September 2, 2004

World renowned medium, James Van Praagh returned to the show to discuss spirit communication and psychic intuitions. From his contacts with those who have passed over, he has concluded that the "other side" is a place of "peace and joy." Interestingly, he noted that one reason that people commit suicide is that they may have left the spirit world prematurely when they were between lives, in their hurry to come back to the physical plane and take on new lessons. One of Van Praagh's spookiest experiences was when he visited the town of Lily Dale, New York, known for its large number of mediums. It's very haunted--- literally "packed with spirits," he said."Thoughts," explained Van Praagh, are real things "like a bullet" that can go right into the person you are thinking about, though they may only be aware of it on unconscious level. People can develop their receptivity to spirit communication through meditation techniques, he added, and towards that end, he has collaborated wi ... More
