I hope I have finally found the correct forum for my post. Here it goes:

I have recently been going through Spiritual awakening, learning Tarot, etc. I recently began talking to my angels and automatic writing. Well, a couple of weeks ago, (I had not been speaking with angels, but got in bed to go to sleep) and I kept getting some weird things happening to me....

Upon falling asleep, I would start getting this loud buzzing sound in my ears, a vibration starting in face and felt like it was going to surge through my whole body and that I would pass out or something. So I would open my eyes and it would stop. This went on allll night. A couple times I even got strong smells (ie, a campfire). I didn't know what the heck it was but it dawned on me, perhaps it was a spirit. So remembering what Sylvia Browne always says, I told whatever it was, out loud, to go to the light, go to God and leave me alone. Well as soon as I said that out loud, it stopped and finally I could sleep. This happened again a couple of nights later and I did the same thing and it stopped. But the second time I heard lots and lots of information about a person.

I haven't been able to find the right group/forum to help me figure this out? Could I actually be able to speak with spirits who would like to communicate with the living?

Please help!!!!! Thank you!

Yes you can communicte with Spirits (mediumship), speaking from experience and my faith tradition.

I wouldn't necessarily use Sylvia Browne as a guide. Her books are ghostwritten and contain some glaring errors. I haven't heard anything like that about James Van Praagh.

As far as unwanted Spirit communications, what you did was correct. In your mind or out loud if it feels comfortable set your boundaries. We all have a Guardian Spirit. In my tradition we call them either Doorkeepers or Gatekeepers. It's their job to filter for you, keep unwanted Spirits away from you. You must define exactly who you want to communicate with. No mixed messages to them.

Once you have done so, you shouldn't have unwanted "visitors." If you still are having unwanted experiences, you'll have to look elsewhere for a solution. Your experiences aren't caused by Spirits.

Finding a good mediumship development class in your area would be the best way in my opinion to develop mediumship in a balanced way. You can do searches on the internet, do some research and pick some place where you're comfortable. There might be a center near you. You may also want to think about a Spiritualist Church. Their fees are very reasonable, sometimes only a free will donation is asked. And, I believe you'll find a safe environment there.

But, in the end, do your research and find something where you're comfortable.

I should have mentioned that there's also a Spirit Guides Forum on Beliefnet in addition to this one and the one on Spiritualism. Lots and lots of information there on Spirit Guides, Guardians etc. on the Spirit Guides Forum. I'm sure reading some posts on the various Boards I've mentioned here will help you as well.
