Toward the Light: Rescuing Spirits, Trapped Souls, and Earthbound Ghosts

I was amazed that a book so helpful and full of information could be so easy to read. Amy Major covers the topic very well in language that anyone can understand.
        We’ve all heard about ghosts, trapped souls and earthbound spirits—and many of us have actually experienced them—but do we really know what they are? Do we understand the concept of “crossing over”? Even if we think we know and understand, each and every one of us will find new information in Amy Major’s book.
        Toward the Light is broken up into incredibly helpful chapters. In the Introduction we learn about Ms. Major’s out-of-body experiences and conversing with her guides, having recurring dreams of past lives, having animal spirits around her, and the feeling of being watched. She learned to use her psychic abilities to become a rescue medium and helping others, including both those experiencing the “haunting” as well as those in the spirit realm doing the haunting.
        The chapter on Connections explains the tools we are each given when we are born and the fact that each of us has a purpose for being here. As Ms. Major explains, “Life isn’t by chance, it’s . . . a choice made by you. . . .  we choose helpers, friends, guides, and mates to help us in our journey of life.” So the people in our lives are here for a reason.
        Ms. Major explains our guides and how they help. We have main guides, lesson guides, and animal guides. Ms. Major also explains the Gold Cord, which connects us to the Divine, and the Silver Cord, which is our connection to our physical body. This information is important as you read the book.
        How and why do spirits become earthbound after death? There are many reasons. A spirit might be afraid of what lies beyond death. Grief can keep a spirit clinging to their physical body and physical life. Anger and rage over the loss of control keeps some spirits earthbound. Unsolved emotional issues can make it difficult to let go and move on. Traumatic death causes confusion; the spirit doesn’t realize it is dead. No matter the reason, some spirits are “stuck” and either unable or unwilling to move on. Animal spirits can also be earthbound.
        What do earthbound spirits do? Some just want attention and do things like move objects or turn lights on and off. Some wander around, feeling trapped in a dream-like state. Others just want to hang around.
        So, what do you do if you think there’s a spirit (or ghost) in your home? Ms. Major explains what a rescue medium is and what he or she does. She also offers rescue techniques we can try on our own. I found it helpful that, although she offers wording for prayers, she doesn’t focus on religion, as it’s possible either the spirit needing rescue or the rescuer (or both) may not be religious. She notes: “If you do not feel comfortable with a rescue prayer, feel free to create your own…”
        What about residual energy—the feelings or energies left behind by a spirit? Ms. Major explains it thoroughly and teaches how to clear it. She also explains spirit attachment, which is when a spirit attaches itself to a living person. How did you get the attachment? How do you clear it? You’ll learn in Chapter 7.
        There’s so much in Toward the Light, and I’d love to share it all with you, but I want to encourage you to read the book for yourself. You’ll learn so much about spirit communication skills, psychic protection, why we feel scared, and how to become a rescue medium if you choose.
        We’re all surrounded by spirits 24/7, but not all of us can sense them, nor do we all sense them the same way. Some feel them, others hear them, some see them, and people like Amy Major communicate with them. Ms. Major explains how we perceive spirits, and explains the non-human negative entities commonly called “demons”.
        I particularly like the chapter called Spirit Rescue Is Not Ghost Hunting. In spirit rescue, you’re helping the spirit, not simply asking, “Is there any spirit here who would like to make its presence known?”
        The glossary is helpful and all terms you might need to know are included.
        I highly recommend Toward the Light to anyone who wants to become a rescue medium, or for anyone who feels they’ve been in contact with the spirit realm. If you think you’ve got an earthbound spirit in your home, Toward the Light will certainly help. As I said, the book is easy to read and understand, and incredibly helpful.
