Got Ghosts? Gettysburg Does: A Halloween Story

This past summer I had the opportunity to participate in events of the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. As a clairvoyant, traveling to a documented, spooky place I was intrigued to find out what makes a place crawl with ghosts --I found the answer: plenty of unsettled spirits. 

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania was the site of the bloodiest and most tragic three days during the Civil War, July 1-3, 1863. The Union and the Confederate “Rebs” converged on the farmland and surrounding hills of this small town now considered “hallowed ground.” As part of the 150th Anniversary, there were over 50,000 Civil War re-enactors creating each of the battles of these painful and terrifying days. The point of the event was to  honor and somehow heal the suffering and pain that occurred here. 

During those three days, over 50,000 soldiers from both sides died on the surrounding fields and in the buildings of Gettysburg. The people of the town, just numbering 1300, were unprepared to manage the number of dead and dying. Many soldiers were left to die alone on the battlefield where they were struck down. The weapons of this war were new, violent types of bullets and cannonballs that shattered inside the victims and left them no way to heal. If an arm or leg were hit, there would be no recourse except to cut the limb off to prevent gangrene -sometimes right on the battlefield. If you got hit in the torso or head, you were made to feel more comfortable and left to die where you lay. Horse-drawn wagons used as early ambulances had just been invented and were rare and inefficient. 

The buildings of Gettysburg were filled with soldiers either waiting or suffering the process of amputation - - many with no type of anesthetic. The children who lived in the town had the job of carting away the limbs and making piles of over 10,000 in the streets to be buried. Doctors were called “bone saws” and did their work with rusty, filthy saws and medicine made from mercury.  Many soldiers pulled their weapon when they saw a “bone saw” coming their way. Because of the filthy conditions, most soldiers died anyway within weeks due to infection. 

The majority of soldiers who perished in this battle were hard to identify except through pictures of loved ones in their pockets. Identification “dog” tags were not in use yet. Many relatives wandered the fields days later searching for their loved ones. They could do this because the number of corpses on the surrounding hills and farm lands were too numerous to bury. The battle took place on Union land so only the bodies of those soldiers were properly buried in the nearby cemetery -- but many up to two years later. Thousands of bodies of the confederate soldiers lay in the fields exposed and  “bleaching in the sun” for weeks. The people of Gettysburg did not have the manpower to pick up these corpses and bury them. The armies left behind over 7,000 dead scattered around the battlefield. The sheer number of rapidly decomposing bodies posed an imminent health hazard, if not a ghastly scene.  As one Confederate soldier recalled passing over the fields northwest of Gettysburg on July 4, “The sights and smells that assailed us were simply indescribable-corpses swollen to twice their size, asunder with the pressure of gases and vapors…The odors were nauseating, and so deadly that in a short time we all sickened and were lying with our mouths close to the ground, most of us vomiting profusely.”  

Needless to say, the remaining soldiers and residents of the area quickly covered the bodies in hasty, shallow graves with no markers. The farmers had to continue planting crops with bodies and bullets strewn amongst the harvests. It wasn’t until nine years later that many of these soldiers were disinterred and moved to proper resting places though not identified. The pain and misery of all these men and the families can still be felt on the lands, hills and buildings of Gettysburg. 

I found out that the ground under the farms where the battles took place are made of  limestone  which has the ability to conduct spirit - just adding to the “unsettled” atmosphere. I wanted to “capture” some ghosts with my camera either in the form of orbs or ghostly light shapes. These days, phone cameras work very well to capture these. I find that dusk or night is the best time. The radiation of the sunlight has an effect on spirits in the atmosphere, it is easier to capture them as the sun (and radiation) goes down. Even though my job as a clairvoyant is to practice “seeing” energy, I use my clairsentient or feeling center below the navel first in my body to “feel” when there is an active spirit nearby. I also feel an excitement in my heart center when a spirit is near. As I get these feelings, I come into my clairvoyant center in the forehead to see and hear.  I take a picture into the darkness and ask questions to the spirit (silently from the center of my head). I find that flash helps to “capture” these spirits. I captured these orbs on the battlefield called Cemetery Hill shortly after the memorial service to the soldiers. 

These pictures are of three soldiers who were just boys - 15 years old to 17 years old. They were left behind on the battlefield, injured and sick. They were related as siblings or cousins and couldn’t abandon each other. They were sad they did not properly say good bye to their mother and other relatives. I said a prayer and imagined their spirits being lifted to the light of the Supreme Being to set their spirits free from this place of confusion, loss and pain. Here is the second picture -- it’s all light! 

I noticed that many of these people who had traveled from all over the country were re-living their past life experiences or had felt the enduring regret of a lost family member to the war. Many were there to “find” their lost relative and redeem the pain for their family. I didn’t have to just use my imagination - there were people acting it out. At one point 30,000 on-lookers like me participated in a battle re-enactment alongside the costumed soldiers on the actual land it took place - “Pickett’s charge.” I realized I had experienced a past life in this misery as well and felt so grateful to be here in 2013 to finally heal!

"I enrolled in Tori Quisling's Clairvoyant Development Training Course looking to hone my intuitive skills but my experience far exceeded my expectations. The tools I learned guided me to not only strengthen my ability to listen to my inner voice but they've become my compass in life. The culmination of my experience came upon me unwittingly as I found myself utilizing the tools from the course to navigate a high stress situation that ordinarily would have ended far less favorable for me. I'm grateful for the experience and would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to open their mind to the impossible."

Today Show Clairvoyant Reader for Jenna Bush Hager Pregnancy

I had the pleasure of giving Jenna Bush Hager a Clairvoyant Reading on the Today Show for their story: Pregnancy Superstitions. In the show, Jenna Bush Hager and Natalie Morales wanted to find out if the gender of the baby can be discovered through means other than the medical ultrasound. I offered to give her a special kind of clairvoyant reading which involved psychometry --holding an important object and reading the energy on the object. Jenna gave me her wedding ring which holds her energetic thoughts. I saw her baby wrapped in bright pink blankets -- like a pea pod. The baby was swaddled in beautiful female protection from all the women in her family.

I have years of  experience consulting with women and mothers about babies. I currently give readings and offer workshops which specialize in life purpose, clairvoyant development and pregnancy manifestation. My book, "Calling in Your Baby" will be available soon. In my readings and workshops, I train women and couples to communicate with the spirit of their unborn baby to create a strong bond and to bring about their pregnancy miracle. I do these readings in person in NYC, Long Island or on Skype or over the phone. For more information about readings and workshops, you can contact me through my website: www.ToriQuisling.com or at 1-800-528-4191.

Call Back Your Light

“May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Do you crave sunshine? It is common for us to take advantage of all the sunlight in the summer by going to the beach or gardening or exercising outside and then yearning for it again in the winter. 

Light is a force as necessary for our bodies as water, sleep and food. Actually, the eyes take in light, not only for visual purposes, but as “fuel” for the entire body, just as the lungs do with air and oxygen. When people are deprived of light, with sudden blindness for example, they are surprisingly weakened, not only with disorientation but a real lack of energy in the body. They must let the body adjust to bringing in light through the skin for several weeks before they can walk again. 

This visible light which is so necessary for our bodies to live is only a fraction of the full light spectrum and the light our body truly craves. Our body craves the light of the invisible spectrum which contains our spirit, or life force energy. When your body and spirit come together, we say we are “enlightened” and we actually feel lighter. When your body is receiving your spiritual light,  you feel the emotions of love, joy, inspiration, gratitude and enthusiasm.  When the body is not consciously receiving this light of the soul, you are experiencing depression, sadness and lack. We are truly alive with purpose when we are enlightened by the invisible light of our spirit. 

You can energize your body by consciously bringing in the invisible light of your spirit. It is available to you whenever you need it.

As a being made of light, you spread yourself out in the form of thoughts and conversations and  have left bits of yourself as light in people, places, situations,problems and even in the past or the future. You can call this back to you at anytime. It is only useful as an energy source in your body. 

Try this for an instant energy boost:  

Imagine a powerful magnet over your head with your name on it. Postulate that this magnet draws back your light or highest creative life force energy from all the people, places, situations, problems, past and future where you have left it. This is actually your spirit in the form of invisible light you can only see in your inner eye or imagination. 

This light comes back to you as a golden sun over your head. Reach up,  and with a smile, welcome this sunlight as it floods through your body, filling up all the spaces of your body that feel heavy or lacking. 

Feel yourself lighten up! Imagine that you are surrounded by this golden light, your body feels energized with enthusiasm, appreciation and joy. Open your eyes and continue to see this bright light surrounding you. More “golden suns” are available to you anytime you need a boost. 

  

Pregnancy Manifestation: Six Clairvoyant Tools

Do you want to get pregnant? Learn to use clairvoyant tools that can connect you with your own powerful creative and healing force located in your female body. Learn to create your own miracles.

The uterus and ovaries in each woman's body form a powerful healing and creative force called the Female Creative Center. When this center is not making a baby, it can be used to manifest projects, nurture and heal. Once you gain an appreciation for the depth and unlimited nature of this energy source, you can learn to direct this energy towards pampering yourself, fulfilling your desires and creating miracles in your life.

Having a child is not only an act of claiming the Female Creative Center but also the ultimate act of sharing yourself with another being. Women are natural mediums. Your Female Creative Center makes it easier for you to be open to your baby.

Women in my readings and classes have been most successful in gaining  confidence in their Female Creative Center and mediumship skills by  practicing the following six clairvoyant tools to manifest a child in their lives. 

1. Try this:  Harness Your Female Creative Energy

* Place your hand on the area below your navel. This is a chakra or energy center. Surrounding this chakra and radiating out just in front of the surface of your skin is the Female Creative Energy.  

* Let your hand feel this energy generated from the uterus and ovaries.  

*Imagine it as the color of a red-hot, pink chili pepper.  

*Then see that you can contain it just in front of you and turn it back on yourself and use your hand to run it up the front of your body, imagining that you are filling up with this bright pink light, healing and nurturing you all over.  

The more often you reclaim this energy for yourself and celebrate it, the more you own it and can use it to pamper yourself and manifest your own projects such as your own child. You will learn to say "no" to all the people and projects drawing this valuable energy elsewhere.

 

2. Create a Container to Receive – once you have pulled in your Female Creative Center for yourself, you can begin to imagine that your body is a  capable container to receive the high level spirit with whom you wish to share your life. The crown of your head and your uterus are natural openings to receive this spirit. Imagine a favorite color that makes you feel joy and freedom in the crown of your head -- like a hat -- and match your uterus to this same color. Imagine that you are opening both areas to receive a very special spirit.

Affirm:” I am ready to share my body with a baby being in the highest vibration.”

3. Communicate with the spirit of your child – Imagine that the spirit of your child is with you. Imagine it as a boy or a girl. Talk to the spirit of your baby regularly. Treat it as a spirit guide (he or she is just as capable as you) and ask for help with issues in your life that need to shift in order to have them– more money, a better relationship, easier job situation. 

As you create a strong relationship with the child and feel its presence around you,  the more certain you become that you will have this child as a partner in your life, which helps you get through the difficulty and impatience of waiting for conception.

4.  Visualize Receiving this Child into Your Body –As you communicate with this child’s spirit, show them the  color of receptivity in your crown chakra and uterus. Match this color to your intimate space with your partner. Imagine a playground just above  you where lots of babies would love to play.  Visualize a slippery slide connecting this playground to your uterus making it easy for the baby to come in and obvious that you are open and ready to receive.

5. Detach from the Outcome  -- Deliberately detach from the expectations and fears that have built up around having a baby.  Accept that you will have a child in any way he or she comes to you. Accept any outcome. Daily affirm, “I am so happy and grateful now that my child is on his (or her) way, ” and allow yourself to relax and let the baby come to you.

6. Be Ruthlessly Positive – surround yourself with positive people and stories, monitoring your own language and thoughts. Memorize affirmations to say when you are feeling stressed or worried such as “The child I am seeking is seeking me.”

You can learn more about practicing these clairvoyant tools in my upcoming Pregnancy Manifestation Workshop on June 28, 2012 at the Meta Center in NYC or in my readings and clairvoyant training program. Partners are welcome to come and practice the techniques.  This workshop is open to parents looking to adopt a baby as well. Participants will receive readings and a Pregnancy Manifestation Workbook.

At a recent pregnancy manifestation workshop, Tori guided me to envision and communicate with my baby. I saw a baby girl smiling back at me and I was surrounded by beautiful light, warmth and pure love. Just weeks later I announced our pregnancy and then soon found out we were having a baby girl. Being a mother has completely been the best thing to ever happen and I'm in such love with our daughter. I'm ever grateful to Tori for helping me conquer my fears and replace them with the gift of pure and unconditional love.
– Julia Lopez-Motherway, Publisher Natural Awakenings Magazine, Long Island & Producer Body Mind Beauty Expo.

"The day I first uttered the words, "I'm pregnant" was a dream come true for me. It was a gift that at times seemed unfathomable, but in August 2011 after more than two years of many failed attempts it finally happened.  It wasn't until I truly detached myself to the outcome and embraced the tools and techniques from Tori Quisling's Clairvoyant Development Course that the shift happened. By making a conscious effort to eliminate any negative thoughts and being ruthlessly positive, I created the space to believe and receive. I'm grateful to Tori for teaching me the tools and techniques for achieving and maintaining this necessary mindset that played a critical role in my getting pregnant."

Energy Vortexes - The Earth's Chakras

The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, Machu Picchu in Peru, Mt. Shasta in California, Stonehenge in England, Ayers Rock in Australia, Sedona in Arizona – these are just some of what are considered the world’s most sacred sites. Since Ancient times, people have been drawn to go on pilgrimages to these sites to reclaim energy, gain insights and connect to something deeper within themselves. What is so special about these places?

I had the opportunity to travel to Sedona last week and was able to experience firsthand a

fine example of one of these powerful healing forces on the planet. Sedona contains a high number of vortexes or centers where the “life force” of the Earth is coagulated into funnels of energy.

The planet Earth is a living being, and much like our own bodies, the Earth has both physical and spiritual aspects. Vortexes on the Earth are similar to the energy centers in our bodies, called chakras. These vortexes hold electromagnetic properties which contribute to the harmony between all life forms on the planet.

All the vortexes on the planet actually connect to each other depending on their type -- electrical, magnetic or electromagnetic -- forming grid lines around the planet. Visiting these vortex areas can help you to maintain health and balance within your body, emotions, mind and spirit by allowing you to experience the

natural healing energy flow of the life force distributed along this grid throughout the entire planet.

For example, Bell Rock in Sedona, (pictured here) is a natural, electrical vortex. As I walked around it, I was simultaneously connected, through this grid, to other electrical vortexes around the world such as Mt Shasta in California, the Grand Canyon, Mt Everest in the Himalayas, and Mt. McKinley in Alaska. By imagining the Earth as having an energetic system, we can relate to the planet and better feel our interconnectedness.

Bell Rock is also considered to be a “beacon” vortex, providing an opening or a portal that connects our planet with other planets and celestial bodies outside our solar system. From this place, Earth sends out energy to the Universe

as well as receives it by contributing to a “celestial grid.” Visiting this spot allows you to connect with your higher consciousness and sensitize to your own connection with other dimensions and unlimited possibilities.

On my walk around Bell Rock, I was able to find evidence of the vortex energy in the twisted trees and sandstone rocks shaped into perfectly round balls called “vortex stones.” The areas containing the twisted trees were especially potent. I chose to meditate in those areas and connect with the earth and the celestial realm. (see photo)

I suggest doing the following when visiting a sacred site or vortex:

· Carry a quartz crystal to capture the energy there. You can amplify and contain it in the crystal to take home with you.

· Meditate. First walk through the area as a walking meditation. Pay attention to the earth energy moving up through your feet and into your legs – feel the earth ; when you find a “potent” area that makes you feel good or inspired, sit down, close your eyes and feel the energy work on your body and chakras.

· Stay open-minded and ready to receive any insights, healings or experiences that come to you.

· Intend/Pray. Ask for a healing, a transformation or assistance with something you need or want in your life and know your request is amplified.

· Take pictures with a digital camera to capture the fluctuations in energy. It will look like orbs, bursts of light or even forms such as faces or animals. I used my cell phone and I still captured an energy photo.

"Spirit" photos are best taken with curiosity and play. If you are too serious about catching the spirits on camera, they don’t show up as easily. (See photo featuring orbs and light)

Energy vortexes occur all over the planet. You can find healing, electromagnetically charged terrain or man-made vortexes in your local area or state. Natural ones occur as waterfalls, volcanoes, mountains, wooded areas, deserts, or lakes. Look for interesting formations that provide the funneling effect (like the twisted tree). Often these areas have already been discovered by others and are considered important places to visit. I like to go to places considered “mystery” spots whether it’s natural or man-made.

I offer local power point tours in the NYC area through the Spirituality & the City series. You can also sign up for a spiritual tour of well-known sites around the world. Power Places Tours offers trips that feature key-note speakers such as Gregg Braden or Lynn Andrews as well.

Opening yourself up to the spiritual energy of the planet allows you to expand and use more of what the planet Earth has to offer. Happy Earth Day!

Make Your Own Luck

"Trust me, I know what I'm doing. . . or at least, Felix does."

—Harry Potter after drinking Felix Felicis

March is all about Luck! Luck of the Irish, Leprechauns, and Four Leaf Clovers. How much control do you have over your own luck? When someone is lucky we consider it chance or coincidence. I like to think of it as synchronicity, or being in the right place at the right time to have things work out in your favor. When this happens, we can look back at the string of actions and find they were often based on one or two ideas or whims which led us to these synchronous "lucky" moments. Your intuitive voice is connected to this divine synchronicity. Because it is all about inner guidance and synchronicity, your luck increases as you build a relationship with your intuitive voice.

JK Rowling, in her Harry Potter series, creates a potion for luck called Felix Felicis or "Liquid Luck." This potion guarantees that the user will fulfill his wish. The students at Hogwarts School have such faith in the voice of this potion that, while under its influence, they follow its voice in their heads with confidence. At first we believe it is a magic potion, when Harry experiences success while under the potion’s influence. However, when Harry’s friend, Ron Weasley, is tricked into thinking he has ingested the Felix Felicis but really hasn’t just before a big Quidditch game, we discover that he is just as successful in his luck (he plays the best ever) without the potion. We realize that the key to our magical luck and success is inside us all along – it’s just a matter of confidence in your own inner guidance system.

What if there were a way to believe you can take your own Lucky Potion? What if you had a way to gain instant confidence for your own ideas and whims that can lead you to be in the right place at the right time? You can do this by developing a strong relationship with your intuitive voice, similar to swallowing (or think you swallowed) a Lucky potion. You begin to trust this voice much more than the voice of the critic or doubter. Your first impulse after asking a question is the direction you go. You find yourself in the right place at the right time and the events in your life work out effortlessly.

Below are some practical ideas to raise the volume on this intuitive voice, gain the confidence to follow it and increase your luck.

To get started developing this new relationship, be sure to leave yourself some unplanned time in your schedule each day to allow unexpected events to occur and for your whims to guide you.

1. A potion is merely a spell in liquid form. Practice saying the following “spell” as you drink your morning coffee or tea.

“All the answers I receive today are divinely guided. I am always in the right place at the right time. All I am seeking is now seeking me.”

2. Practice making simple predictions. For example, guess who is calling when the phone rings or what a friend is going to say in an email you have yet to open. Notice how often you are right. Also, notice when you think of the person before the phone rings or they contact you.

3. Practice checking in with people in your life. Close your eyes and imagine what they are doing or feeling. What environment are they in? You can watch them as if on your own movie screen. Write down the time and your observations and check in with them later for fun.

4. Keep track of all the synchronous events already going on in your life. Perhaps you were talking about someone just before you ran into them at the grocery store. Decide to make a list each night so you are gathering information during the day to add to this list.

You can take this idea further and wish for these synchronous events when you plan your day in the morning. For example, “I’d love to have the boss leave early so the end of the day is easier.” When these events happen, you begin to see the effect your wishes have on your intuition. You will realize that your intuitive voice is always answering your underlying questions or wishes all the time. It’s magic, so you don’t have to know how it works, just that it works!!

5. Practice asking your intuitive self a question and listening for the answer. When you have something to figure out, ask your intuition. Listen for the immediate response. For example, ask “Who can help me with this situation?” Allow yourself to catch the first idea that comes to mind. This can be a thought, a word or name, or a vision when you close your eyes. Follow with confident abandon. Allow yourself to contact this person right away even if you don’t think they are the right person – they will often know someone who can help you. Or be prepared to go to that coffee shop. Remember it’s all about synchronicity.

6. Stop Complaining – move out of judgment and into a neutral state with no opinions about anything. By doing this, you will align with your higher self and know just what to do. We complain because it’s something we are resisting and making into a problem. Pull your attention off the problem (“It’s all divine good”) and it magically dissolves.

Overall, the more you practice and have fun with these ideas, you learn how your intuitive voice works for you --as an image, idea, or specific words. When you create a relationship with your intuitive voice, you build up the confidence to follow it with giddy confidence as if ingesting your own lucky potion.
