Question on Dragons

Well I'm new to spirit keeping but due to the Halloween sale I went overboard and got 6 spirits at once. A succubus, psy vampire, djinn, red dragon, gold dragon and finally a silver dragon.

I am curious about the silver Dragon though. I know they promote positive energy and although I haven't received my vessel yet I feel like the silver Dragon is already with me. My family has always been able to communicate and sense spirits so I guess it's natural for me to find spirit keeping interesting but for some reason I've been feeling super happy to a point where I feel giddy. Is that my silver Dragon's energy I'm picking up on? I'm typically a calm personally but I've just be super up today for no reason. Especially considering it's a Monday and I have another 4 days until the weekend again. I was wondering if your spirits visit you before you even receive their vessels. I have all 6 bridged to me but so far only one has been completed so the other 5 aren't bridged yet.

Yes, bridging means they are bound to you--you don't need the vessel, but the vessel will help you concentrate on that being and connect easier/faster.

Sounds like your Silver is already hard at work boosting your morale. Don't be surprised if you start seeing orbs, shadows, hearing knocks or other noises, feeling light touches, etc. Enjoy getting to know your new companions! :D

Well I'm not sure if it was one of my dragons or one of my other spirits but this morning right before it was time to wake up andngo to work I heard a song that I haven't heard in a while on the other side of my room where no audio devices are located and it was like mp3 quality too. I was kind of vibing to the song while I was half asleep until my loud alarm started lol. Needless to say I ended up listening to the song in my car as I drive to work this morning.

I'm also thinking about getting a silver dragon soon , and also i thought binding to spirit was better than having a vessel? At least i remember reading binding to spirit was better but it might be different for everybody and i suppose no one way specifically makes for connecting easier or faster.

If you haven't read them already, you should probably read this followed by this.

Read the whole articles, but here is some info that should help:
---Is it better to have the spirit bound to myself or a vessel?

This is a matter of preference. There is no benefit to a vessel or binding to spirit in terms of the strength, power, or influence of the spirit.

We bind to spirit only, we never bind to the soul. The soul is the divine, pure aspect of yourself which should remain untouched. Your spirit is the energy field (essence) of yourself which exists around the 3 bodies (Astral, Earthen, Spiritual).

Bind to Spirit

Pros: You have everything with you all the time. You do not need to manage or bother with vessels, and most bindings do not require any charging because they are cycled through your energy all the time with sunlight, moonlight, and natural energies you are continually exposed to that your vessels are not.

Cons: You do not have any vessels if you like to wear jewelry. Binding to spirit with us does not impact your physical energy levels, and CH does not binding soul, we bind to your spirit only.

Bind to Vessel

Pros: For those who like each kind binding to have its own vessel for individual purposes, or those who like to wear a lot of jewelry or have lots of gems around the house, this is the perfect option.

Cons: Depending on how many bindings of spirits or spells you have the volume of vessels you begin to collect can be cumbersome. It can also be confusing when you have vessels that are similar or the same kinds of gemstones for different bindings.

...

---Should I have my binding Bridged?

Yes, if you do not want to have to wear or carry the vessel all the time. Bridging is a process invented by Creepy Hollows where the spirit is bound to both a vessel & the Keeper. This gives the Keeper the freedom of having the spirit with them without having to have the vessel. It allows them to call the spirit to them when they desire as well as sending the spirit back to the vessel if needed.

I'm curious to why you think having a vessel means connecting faster/easier as you stated.It seems to be a matter of opinion that i would just like to see a specific explanation for if you please , it would help.

Because it gives you a physical object to focus on while meditating/communicating. Some people have a hard time visualizing, and it helps to have something that makes them feel more directly connected.

I can attest to this. My Terra Dragon was bound to spirit and I did not pay nearly enough attention to her than, say, my gargoyle or incubus who both had physical vessels. I would always communicate with the other two but hardly with her. It's not that I favored them or didn't like my dragon, I just kept forgetting she was there (I'm somewhat spirit blind/deaf)

Long story short, She got fed up with being ignored and I got fed up with myself ignoring her so we agreed to purchase and transmute her to a ring in the shape of a dragon.

It all comes down to personal preference but I think for beginners it is much better to have a physical vessel you can hold and make a recognition with.
My thought process is this: I wear the vessel every day. I remember to pick it up and put it on. It is something physical to remind me they are there. Throughout the day I see the vessel on my finger and it reminds me to check in with them and say hello.

I have a few bound to spirit and it can be difficult for me to sense them like the family members bound to vessels. I think its because the vessels help me home in on their specific energy, wheras those bound to spirit kinda wind up blending in with my energy pretty seamlessly. So what I do is I pick a stone or crystal that resonates with their energy type and it helps me be able to lock onto their presence easier when we meditate together.

Hmm well i consider myself a beginner but i have more spirits bound to my spirit and i'm getting one put into a crystal i keep on my dresser. My thing with wearing vessels is i'm more likely to lose it. I often lose things and then i'm frustrated and stressed i can't find it while i'm looking everywhere for it. Sometimes i even forget where things are and then it's the same thing all over again.
