For those who aren’t familiar with “orbs”, these are balls of light, usually white, but sometimes other colours, that are expressions of spirit energy manifesting itself to the visible eye or camera lens.
These orbs will sometimes show up in photos - often right above or on the person they are connected with in the picture.
Special events where people gather to take group photos are particularly prevalent times for these spirits to pop in and say “I’m with you” in the only way they can, and it’s so amazing and beautiful when this is realised by a family who thinks their loved one is missing out on the occasion.
Orb designs are often incredibly complex and beautiful. Some have spirals and swirls and some even have clear faces of the Spirit person within them. Some are simply dazzling light in a variety of colours.
It takes an enormous amount of energy for Spirit people to slow down their vibration to be dense enough for our human eyes to see.
I use the analogy of a fan.
When the fan is off or going slowly, you can see the blades, but as they speed up, they become blurry then finally invisible to the human eye.
Now, obviously the blades are still there, but due to them spinning/vibrating so fast, they give the impression they have disappeared!
It’s the same with Spirit.
Without the weight of a body, their energy is so light, they vibrate way, way faster than we do in our heavy ”suits” of flesh, but – and this is the cool bit – they are still right there with us – just invisible to most of us!
So now you can appreciate if you see a full spirit manifestation with a human or at least opaque appearance, that it has been one mammoth effort for them to do that!
Not surprisingly, moving around as small bright spheres of light, or showing up in photos around loved ones, is a more manageable way to say “Hi, I’m here!”
I found some photos of orbs and put them in a collage for you to look at.
There are endless more on the internet, and maybe like me you have some in your own personal photos that you may never have noticed before!
