"Orbs and Photographic Spiritual Unfoldment"
As part of looking to develop your talents and gifts, it's a great time to investigate the world of orbs.
Interestingly, orbs were probably never even recognized until the invention of photography and cameras. The lens and film seem to be able to capture a fuller world than we have come accustomed to.
There are many other energies around us and are becoming more adventurous in letting us see them. Just quiet yourself for a few moments. As you quiet your racing mind, it allows you to open to the possibilities of other spirits around you.
If you are interested in taking pictures with the possibility of capturing some unseen orbs, realize you will probably need to have some patience to practice this art of Psychic Photography.
By saying a protective prayer/affirmation to keep the event sacred and holding a space of respect, you will begin on a special adventure. As long as the energies or spirits realize you are honoring them, they will avail themselves to you.
I knew a young man many years ago, who wanted a spiritual gift very much. But while sitting in unfoldment class every week for over a year, he still was not receiving any recognition of contact with Spirit. It seemed like he was never going to develop a spiritual gift of mediumship or clairvoyance.
By chance, the organization he was studying with had an outdoor gathering during the summer. He decided to take pictures of the event. He was using Polaroid film, which develops individually after several minutes.
The first picture came out and he was pleased to have several women at a table, talking with each other. Then he took some pictures of children playing near a tree.
To his surprise, when the picture developed there were strange, unknown 'blobs' in the tree. The leaves seemed to take on designs and faces. Everyone could see familiar faces as loved ones or spirit guides. He found his gift and continued taking photos of nature spirits.
Orb photos have developed in the same fashion. Just by surprise, they started showing up. After investigating to see if there were rain drops on the lens or light disturbances, photographers began to realize it was a special anomaly.
Based on the physical composition, it has been determined that orbs are in a classification called magnetoplasmoids, a type of plasma which occurs in many places around the world. The scientific mechanism that allows the orbs to occur is called photo luminescence.
Of course everything we do in any spiritual or metaphysical manner, seems to need to be proven by the scientific world. But don't let that discourage you. As long as you have a passion for it and feel the mystery of it, follow through with it and see if your spiritual talent is in capturing orbs.
Blessings until next time.
