Terri Cafazzo opens the spiritual gateway; soon they enter this physical plane.

October 29, 2009, sounds of the evening wind whispering outside creep into the small room; a room that is barely able to occupy its’ 23 inhabitants.

17 female and 6 male members of the newly formed, High Desert Spirit Society of Prescott (HDSS), gather in the dim, candle lit room, located at the Health Restoration Center, 412 N. Washington, in Prescott, to embark on an experience like none other; a séance.

The High Desert Spirit Society of Prescott is a non-religious organization which delves into the spiritual realm. Mrs. Terri Cafazzo, an intuitive counselor and spiritualist, is the founder of the society.

The séance is the association’s first official meeting. More events are currently in stages of planning, said Cafazzo.

A séance is an event where a group of people gather in order to receive spiritualistic messages or observe manifestations from the deceased.

According to Adeptness.net, many notorious individuals have extensively participated in séances. This list includes, United States Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, physician and author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and inventor of the telegraph, Alexander Graham Bell.

Séance’s are usually conducted through a medium and traditionally begin with an induction. Cafazzo, as an experienced clairvoyant, served as the medium for this HDSS séance.

Following tradition, she asked the group to hold hands, a process which allows energy to pass through the room with more ease, and initiated the induction.

“Infinite, infinite spirit, intelligent Supreme Being, God, Goddess, we thank you for being here at this time.” Cafazzo said. “We invite all the Archangels to now come into the room and every corner; representing Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel. We thank you for being present and casting the most protection that we can experience at this time” she said. “Hosting all elements balanced: fire, air, water, earth, we allow the portal to be open at this time.”

A male member of the group, who wishes to remain anonymous, recalls that the wind outside began to significantly increase in power as Cafazzo opened the gateway. “I felt as if I was be pummeled with spiritual energy coming from the wind. It suddenly became horrendously difficult to breath” he said.

Cafazzo continued, saying, “bless us, bless you, show us that which you come to share. If you wish to dim the light, if you wish to ring the chime, if you wish to flicker the candle, or just quietly be in each and every one of our hearts. For we know that there really is no separation. Nothing truly lies between you and ourselves. Welcome” Cafazzo said, ending the induction.

Adeptness.net, states that following the induction, the séance group will often attempt to transcend into a meditative trance. HDSS’s group was no different. The members meditated for nearly 15 minutes.

However, an unusual occurrence happened during those 15 minutes of silence, which individualized the HDSS’s séance from the norm; Cafazzo began channeling the Archangel, Muriel, the being of light.

“You are the beings, you are of mine, you are just like me.” Cafazzo channeled. “I have been sent…to protect you, to let you have this time. I come from a place that you all know in your heart.”

“Don’t let these things that come in front of you [and] be around you, make you disturbed. Throw them away, they’re not real. You are real” she said. “I want you to understand, what you is. You are this loving, perfect, fully complete, living light being.”

“All of those that are around me are around you; all the time. They come in love. When you feel love you feel them, remember this” Cafazzo declared, finishing the channel.

Some mediums are fully conscious and aware of the situation while functioning as contacts; others may slip into a partial or full trance Adeptness.net posted. Channeling allegedly offers opportunities for a more positive and mutually beneficial interaction between the living medium and the spirit.

Cafazzo ends the meditative state; people begin to share their experiences.

One female member was in emotional hysteria once the meditation session completed. The vision she experienced was of a passed loved one which carried heavy emotional attachment.

A small black dog named Skip appeared to one member. Another affiliate visualized an array of plummeting meteors. Several others acquired random onsets of heat and cold flashes, uncontrollable twitches, itching, and the observation of floating colors during the séance. These occurrences are all common when spiritual energy is abundant, Cafazzo said.

In an e-mail, Cafazzo described the occurrence of a couple who were lingering around the wellness center after the ceremony. They had brought a camera to take pictures of the room, attempting to see if they could capture a photograph of any light orbs, a common manifestation spirits take on film.

To ensure the camera functioned, the owner had installed brand new batteries immediately before attending the session. The camera was unused until then and when the operator attempted to turn on the camera, it was found that the batteries were completely drained; a common occurrence when spirits are present.

It’s understood that an entity will use the energy from equipment batteries to assist in manifesting itself.

“There’s our confirmation spirits were present” Cafazzo said.

The session ends. The flickering candle light extinguishes; once again, the room is dark, silent, and empty.
