Cloud Orbs of a Guest

Spirit Orbs of KathyP

Kathy of Nature Snippets: http://naturesnippets.com/ is sharing photographs that she took this week in the early dawn. My first reaction was “Oh my gosh!”

spirit orbs KathyP

Kathy says that she took 88 pictures, and had taken about 44 when the “clouds” started appearing, but not in every picture.

I asked if she felt, saw, or heard anything in relation to these “clouds” and Kathy replied that there was no direct communication, it was intuition. She didn’t see any of the “clouds” until they were displayed on the camera’s viewer after she took the picture.

She was so excited she could hardly think, but knew it was a special encounter. Gratitude was her only thought.

The photo above looks as if an orb was unleashing itself beyond its teardrop shape.

The challenge for Kathy now is not to expect to see these “clouds” every time she photographs while questing for orbs. When reading the Natures Snippets blog you’ll get a feeling of being addressed by a science writer who is enthusiastic about nature and is not someone who would blow smoke in your eyes.

Very Inspiring Blogger Award Nominations

very-inspiring-blogger-fictional-machines

Thank you to Wanda of Ale Ksiazki/And Yet the Books

for nominating me for Very Inspiring Blogger Award! Thank you very kindly, I’m thrilled! Many of you may know of Ale Ksiazki/And Yet the Books sharing the history and culture of Poland. Certainly inspires in me a desire to go and visit Poland, especially Dom Kuncewiczow which is described with thoughtful beauty. Please visit this very interesting blog, you will receive a compelling look at Polish culture: http://wandamichalakdomkuncewiczow.wordpress.com/

I am coming to an understanding of these awards. They are nominations in that someone has to recognize you as being of interest to honor. But only you can make it an award by acceptance and placing the crown on your blog. The seeds of nominations blow upon the wind, some land in gardens and are enjoyed as an unexpected flowering, others land in a sea of so many glittering prizes that they bring no attention to themselves, just bobbing about as another bauble, while others land on rock and can find no purchase in a stony silence. So it has always been with seeds that blow in the wind. But, always the plant hopes for the best and sends its seeds out to flower.

The Very Inspiring Blogger Award comes with the responsibility of nominating 15 blogs for the honor, display the award on your blog, link back to the one who nominated you, and tell 7 unknown things about oneself. Time for hardest one:

7 unknown things about myself

1) I put soy sauce on almost any food (mashed potatoes, soups, spaghetti, etc.). 2) I really enjoy scrapping off old paint and glazing windows. 3) I’ve lived on the West Coast, East Coast,  no coasts, and prefer being at least a mile high within mountains. 4) My most read books in childhood where 19 volumes in the Wizard of Oz series, definitely colored my perspective on life. 5) I can quote Carlos Castaneda anytime for any reason, but usually won’t. 6) I will not blame things on Mercury Retrograde. 7) And, following the advice of Carolyn Myss to say something positive about oneself: I am a really good Reiki therapist. I’m also a natural teacher.

Now for the really wonderful part of receiving an award, the honor of nominating 15 other blogs for  The Very Inspiring Blogger Award. I decided to look for those whom I have not already recognized, but who have inspired me along the way of this path with heart. In no particular order they are:

Orbs Prefer Walks with Dog

Orbs like walking dog

This is the astounding scene packed with orbs I discovered just the other night while walking home with my husband and our dog.

Orb over house

This is what the scene looked like tonight when I was walking by myself. Yes, it’s a lovely orb above the house, but not nearly the party of orbs when walking with companions.

Orbs go walking with dog

Here’s another look at a photo I used in an earlier post of walking with my family.

Orbs above street

And, again, what the street looked like tonight while walking by myself. Actually, my cat was with me, but that doesn’t seem to light up the orbs.

orbs above gate

You can’t see my family because they’re standing next to me on the night we walked the dog. But the orbs know the family is here.

gate with orbs

Ah, a couple of orbs this evening when it’s only me and the cat.

Lesson? If you want to find orbs go for a walk with your partner and the dog, the cat just won’t be enough.

Orbs Hover for Sound Therapy

This post is dedicated to Wanda of Ale Ksiaski/And Yet the Books: http://wandamichalakdomkuncewiczow.wordpress.com/ who was interested in doing an experiment with sound and orbs. Coincidentally, when I already had this post in its draft stage, she nominated me for Blog of the Year 2012 and Very Inspiring Blogger Award! Did I say coincidence? Actually, I could feel her well wishes yesterday when I was thinking of what to post. . .

And so, we await with the orbs who have gathered at the Bisbee Royale in anticipation of the sound therapist.

Orbs wait for tuning forks

Lisa Stone sound therapist

Lisa Stone has brought her tuning forks and Kim has agreed to a session so that we can see how the orbs will respond to heavenly sounds. Notice the yellow orb.

Third eye orbs

Interesting how the orb has centered upon Lisa’s third eye as she concentrates. The tuning forks are paired in perfect fifths, a known healing combination.

Orb and heart chakra

These next few photographs I took from the balcony of the Bisbee Royale so that the flash wouldn’t disturb the sound therapist and her client. It looks as if this orb centers upon the throat chakra.

TF5

I like how the orbs mirror each other at the crown chakras.

Lisa is using the tuning forks and sound therapy system developed by Arden Wilken of Inner Sound. You can explore her website at: http://www.ardenwilken.com/ I highly recommend her as a teacher and musician, and those of you on the European side of the Atlantic can also attend the workshops she teaches there.

large orb sound therapy

This large orb is the reason I photograph far away from the subject, in this case a balcony view. If I were any closer, I would have missed recording it in my camera.

orbs sail above tuning forks

Again, we would have missed seeing these orbs if I had been any closer to Lisa and her next client, Dave.

large orb with therapist

Everyone is very intent upon listening, even the orb.

orbs love tuning forks

Notice the yellow orb to the right of Lisa and her client, Gordon, it has been in several of these pictures, including the ones not posted.

orb on hand of therapist

And finally, the orb could stand it no longer and had to get right down upon Lisa’s hand to get a better listening advantage.

Thank you very much to Lisa Stone, for once again volunteering for a project of mine. She has always been a good sport about my enthusiasms! And, thank you to Kim, Dave, and Gordon for volunteering to be photographed while listening to the exquisite tones of the Arden Wilken tuning forks.

I would also like to extend my appreciation to the folks of the Bisbee Royale, who turned off the movie and music while we did our sound experiment and tiptoed around telling people, “They are photographing the orbs” as if that were the most natural thing to be happening in the early evening while people gathered after work.

In another post, I will be following up with the responsibilities of passing the baton of awards to those who have inspired me. Thank you, Wanda!

Three Guests and their Orbs

GregNeishFlagOrb

Greg Neish, whose orb photographs of a wedding and his favorite fishing lake you may have seen a few posts ago, also shares this photo he took in November. He associates this brilliant orb with, “White – High Frequency Protection. Perfect next to our Flag.”

It is always fascinating to see the orbs that appear in people’s photographs. If we accumulate enough exposure to these “emanations of spiritual beings” we may begin to have a small understanding of their presence in our environment.

F

Bill, of Motioners blog: http://motionphotographyonline.wordpress.com/, shares this photograph of orbs (not snow or stars). “It was shot in June 2008 when we hiked into Desolation Wilderness near Lake Tahoe on the California side. Our trailhead was Echo Lake just off of Highway 50 and the campsite in the photo is at Clyde Lake just over the Mosquito Pass (8,428′). The picture is my grandson (age 9 at the time) and an avid backpacker.”

High altitudes do have a sense of being populated by the mysterious.

TheresaBeaversBrightOrb

Therese Beavers who shared her orbs of an eagle’s tree with us last month found this shining orb just recently. Seek, and you will find. . .

Green Orb Fairy

Therese also discovered this green squiggle orb, perhaps what Klaus Heinemann described earlier as an “orb fairy” whose speed is more in the quantum leap category than miles per hour.

Thank you very much to Greg Neish, Bill of Motioners, and Therese Beavers for kindly sharing their photographs of orbs with us. The more we see, the more we know, the more full of wonder is our world.

Klaus Heinemann: Halo of a Newborn and “OrbFairy”

We have a special guest for this post, Klaus Heinemann, Ph.D. who is co-author of two books that are the classics on orbs: The Orb Project (with Miceal Ledwith, D.D., LL.D.), and Orbs Their Mission and Messages of Hope (with Gundi Heinemann). Dr. Heinemann is going to elucidate some of the meaning that can be obtained from observing orbs in photographs.

orb of newborn baby

Dr. Heinemann tells us about this picture: “My daughter is holding her best friend’s newly-born just a few hours old. Note the large orb around the child. (We have discussed the topic of orbs particularly around children on pages 37-43 in Orbs, Their Mission and Messages of Hope.)”

Klaus Heinemann shares orb photo

Dr. Heinemann narrates: “Our friend Titica (Graz, Austria, 2011) provided this extraordinary photo of what people often identify as an “orb fairy.” Shown here in strong magnification (and with legitimate, minor contrast enhancement), it reveals that it was actually generated by one circular orb that moved in a multitude of (in this case way more than 50) steps that all took place during the short duration of the flash (approx. 1/1000 sec). We have seen such multiple-step displacements (quantum leaps?) numerous times in various photographs (see below for another striking example). If the displacements were in continuous motion, the speed of motion would be huge – well above 1000 miles/sec. Given that we see this stepwise motion, the velocities – if one can talk of velocities at all – must have been far greater than that. Such photos underline that the non-worldly Entities emanating orbs are capable of doing so tailored to the preference of the photographer or image viewer whose attention they want to grab – if they prefer to see mandalas, they show up as such; if people are expecting to see faces; their orbs will show faces; and if people are looking for fairy-like phenomena, that’s how the orb is “painted” in their photo. (We have discussed this topic in detail with several photo examples, on pages 61-73 in Orbs, Their Mission and Messages of Hope)”.

Here is the example that Dr. Heinemann alludes to in the description above. This is an animation that can only be seen with the Apple-program “Keynote” (a transposition to PowerPoint will only partially work). Dr. Heinemann has uploaded it to www.acviews.com/kh/kh-002.key. People who have a Mac computer and Keynote can easily see it after downloading.

Dr. Heinemann narrates: “Gerd und Renate Firmenich (Germany, 2012) sent me this fabulous film strip, which captured an orb that was moving in and out of the field of view. They took this film with a simple iPhone4, not using a flash, and not accidentally aided/augmented by a concomitant flash emitted from another camera in the room. I fragmented the film into very slow motion and still frames, so one can see what is really happening. The moving orb is visible in three movie frames (approx. 1/20 sec total time), in a multitude of steps in each frame. Best view with “Keynote” (which is the Apple-equivalent of “PowerPoint”) after downloading from www.acviews.com/kh/kh-002.key). This film underlines that, most likely, orbs move in discrete quantum-leap steps, not in continuous motion.”

Klaus Heinemann holds a Ph.D. in experimental physics from the University of Tübingen. He worked for many years in materials science research at NASA, UCLA, and as a research professor at Stanford University. He is founder and chairman of a corporation that performs scientific research in computational fluid dynamics, materials development, and nanotechnology under contracts from NASA. For several decades Dr. Heinemann has worked on mending the commonly perceived rift between science and spirituality and lectures on expanding perception.

Handmade Toys Delight

St Andrews Childrens Clinic

Christmas gifting at St. Andrew’s Children’s Clinic in Nogales, Arizona. Hundreds of stockings were stuffed with toys and goodies by the clinic office volunteers to be given to the children who travel up from Mexico each month for medical treatment.

I had an orb subject in mind for today’s post, but after traveling two hours to clinic this morning where I’ve been providing Reiki therapy to children who have cerebral palsy, autism disorders, epilepsy, etc. for the past nine years, and seeing all the wonderful toys, the delight of giving was more fun.

handmade wooden toy ships

Toy sailboats make me wish I was a child. The woodworkers and painters of Green Valley, Arizona start creating these wonders in January for the pure joy of gifting them in December to our clinic children.

handmade wood boxes

Inside each of the boxes is a handmade turned wood top.

handmade wood toy planes

The painters obviously have a wonderful time and let their imaginations run wild.

handmade wooden foosball toys

Children loved playing with the foosball toys.

handmade dolls and wooden crib

These lovely dolls are two-sided, one face is awake, the other asleep.

handmade blankets and quilts

My therapy area was taken over by handmade quilts and knitted hats, sweaters, and mittens. There were hundreds of blankets, each one more beautiful than the next. They did leave room under the tent gazebo for my massage table and I actually worked on a few of the children and adults who were happy for a moment of relaxation from all the excitement of gifting.

handmade wooden toys

Notice the duck of a plane and one of the wooden tops beside these delightful pull along toys.

handmade wooden trucks and buses

I would have a very hard time choosing just one of many marvels.

handmade wooden painted box

Some artists have all the fun.

Clinic days are always special, children in wheelchairs are treated with respect and nurturing care and we all benefit from giving of our best to each other. But, Christmas clinic is a pure delight of artistry and homemade cheer.

Klaus Heinemann shares Orb photos

Dr. Heinemann is going to elucidate some of the meaning that can be obtained from observing orbs in photographs.

Klaus Heinemann discusses orbs

Dr. Heinemann narrates, “A friend of a relative took these pictures of his 12-year old daughter (red shirt) at a school activity about one hour apart.”

Orb closeup

Take a close look at the girl wearing a red shirt. That is not a pendant in the middle of her chest, it is an orb.

Klaus Heinemann interprets orbs

“When our relative looked at the photos and discovered the orbs, he told his friend about our work and interest in orbs.”

Orb of heart transplant girl

“Ten years earlier, when the girl was two years old, she had received a heart transplant.”

Fascinating!

Thank you to Klaus Heinemann for sharing these photographs, which increases our understanding of what the appearance of orbs may indicate. We look forward to your sharing more insights into the phenomenon of orbs.

Orb Guest Photographs the Dark

We have a guest orb photographer for today’s post, Kathy Phelps, best known on WordPress for her blog, Nature Snippets: http://naturesnippets.com/

TreeOrbs

Kathy counted about 50 orbs around the huge elm tree by her barn. It’s a lovely tree and would make a good subject to come back to many times to check out the orbs who are at home within its branches.

Orbs in yard

I like the orbs on the upper left that seem to be coming in for a landing in front of Kathy’s house in Illinois.

Kathy continues to experiment with finding the best placement of camera to subject to bring out the orbs who soar through her property. She can feel them and is discovering their many colors as well. I look forward to her further adventures with orbs.

We have a special treat tomorrow, which Kathy will also enjoy. Klaus Heinemann, Ph.D., co-author of two books that are the classics on orbs: The Orb Project, and Orbs Their Mission and Messages of Hope, will be our guest bringing a new understanding of orbs. Tune in tomorrow evening for this rare presentation.
