I have always had the ability to see orbs of lights. When I was a kid, I would occasionally see them out of the corner of my eye, and then when I would turn and look, they would be gone. As I got older, I began to see them more often, and after a while, I could stare at them and watch them. They became so clear I could see the glare from them on the walls they were in front of. Recently, I began seeing black orbs too. They look sort of like little balls of oil, and don't glow like the light balls do. I also see shadows of things moving, and I will wake up because I hear someone talking to me, but then when I'm awake, there is no one there. I know that spirits show up as orbs in photos, but I've never heard of someone seeing orbs like that with their bare eyes. Am I nuts, or would you say I have psychic ability? These experiences seem to be getting stronger, but I'd like to find a way to control them and put them to good use. Thanks!

Dreamchaser:
First and foremost Steve, you are NOT crazy. What you are seeing is absolutely real. You are able to see past the veil that separates this world from the Otherworld, where you can see different types of beings.
You did not mention that you are capable of seeing mists/fogs and changes in the colors of things around objects or other people. You are most definitely "psychic." You have always "just known" things, but you have always attributed this to just good old common sense.
The white or lighter colored orbs are of course ghostly beings. You know that. They can be attached to the land, to the building, to something in the building, or any combination of the above.
Since you can see through the veil, you can see the orbs. Since spirits are made up of energy, forming orbs of light is easy for them to do. That is an easy form for them to take when they want to travel in THIS world.
You are not the only person who can see orbs. Some people see them all the time, everywhere they go, but this is something that most people do not talk about for fear of how others will perceive them.
I have never seen black orbs with my own eyes, so I can't personally speak to that matter, but I can tell you what other people have reported. There have been many documented sightings of "black orbs," which are apparently unidentified flying objects. Some witnesses have reported hearing an engine type sound attached to these black orbs, and some have mentioned seeing them mixed in with orbs of light.
I know that this sounds far-fetched to quite a few of you, and to be honest, I have some trouble wrapping my head around it at times as well. That doesn't change the fact that there COULD be life on other planets and in other galaxies/ universes, and beings from other planets could have made their way to us, and be visiting Earth on a regular basis.
We have all heard the alien abduction and UFO stories. If we start to research things however, we discover more and more unexplainable events. For example, can someone please explain Denver Airport to me? Can someone please explain the night over Phoenix with ALL those UFOs flying around, which was even on the news?
The black orbs you're seeing are unexplained objects. They could be alien spacecraft, as most who see them and research them say they are. They could be some type of unidentified spiritual being. What I can tell you for sure is that they are not going to harm you. I suggest the next time you see one, you ask it to tell you what it is, and then listen to your thoughts.
I wish you clear vision in this crazy world.
Astrea:
Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.
Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!
While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!
I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!
As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.
I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.
You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!
Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.
A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.
You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
