want2bhelped. So pleased you've joined SQ forum. You'll find lots of information about many psychic/spiritual/paranormal topics on here. Me and forum colleague Enigma have grouped information into separate areas because this makes it easier for members to find, reply or post stuff.
For instance: If you're interested in learning about Reiki
or chatting to members who are Reiki practioners, then you'll find Reiki stored under Healing Circle section (Please use Absent Healing Circle to request healing for yourself, your loved ones or your animals if you'd like that), When you click on Reiki to open that section, you'll see a list of all the posts people have written about Reiki. If you want to reply to any of those after you've read one, just click on the Reply button (located below the message box), type in your reply, then click Send button. If you want to start a new thread/topic then click on the New button, give your thread a name, type in the text and then click Send. You will receive an email notification whenever anyone replies to something you'e posted or replied to.
Under Members Only section you'll see My Page, you can set up your own special place in that area. My own page is called The Oracle's Den, but I've also posted something under My Page section called 'Pat's many interests' that has photos of some of the things I do, you'll see other members pages like Runa's Realm and Cherry's Lilypad in there too, so you can leave messages for them in there, but SQ also has a private messaging facility too, if you want some privacy. Just click on the PM button (located next to Log Out button at top of screen) to send a private message to anyone. No-one else can view those except the person you send the message to. The white area at top of SQ is a live chatroom, you can chat to members on there but as members pop onto the forum at different times, it's a matter of arranging a mutual time with other members whereby you can chat. (There's a Chatroom Diary where you can do that stored under Members Only).
Members Only section also has: The Spiritual Exchange where members can exchange books or items like cards etc they no longer want with each other, The Art Gallery where you'll see examples of members artwork, as well as Pearls of Wisdom and Poetry, Prayers and Affirmations, Chit Chat's an area where members can talk about anything (not just spiritual matters) a chill-out area.
The Religions and Beliefs system was set up to so members could see all the things people who share differing backgrounds/beliefs share in common, and learn a little about others beliefs so they could have a better understanding of each other.
(I once thought Wicca and Paganism were the same, but now know they share much in common, but they are different.) It's good to know this as I have friends who are both Pagan and Wiccan, even though I'm a sort of Unitarian/Spiritualist myself.
You'll find instructions about Dowsing, dry tea-leaf reading and other psychic tools under Divination and chakra, auras, crystal and meditation information on here too.
There's also a lovely link stored under Angels and the Angelic Realms if you like angels. You'll find everything you're ever likely to want to know about Angels in there.
SQ was launched in March this year so it's still being added too. If there's anything you'd like adding, just let us know (ie The Spiritual Exchange was added 2 weeks ago after a SQ member suggested this).
Hope this helps you get started and you enjoy SQ. Look forward to chatting to you anytime. Pat xxx
