Since 2012, I’ve taken many photos of Orbs, and know them as ‘representations of the soul essence or energy signature of a being, group consciousness, or craft, existing in a higher dimensional state’. ‘Orb’ is an umbrella term that covers many subtle manifestations, which can vary in form, colour and kind, and frequency, or dimensional strata, and include projections of the energies of star people, lightships, angels, elemental beings, souls both incarnate and discarnate, and other spirit beings.
Orb-like phenomena can also be projections (or probes) of entities of the lower astral 3-4D strata. If I see/feel any presence of this kind near me, I use meditation/visualization practices to strengthen my auric field and heart centre and, if needed, call on assistance from star family/angelic beings.
Orbs can also be representations, or projections, of souls who are currently incarnate in 3D, and often I find these appear with a specific purpose (such as family members, or souls requiring some form of healing etc).
As our inner heart attunement strengthens, their ‘identities’ or Essences, and purposes, become clear. (3D is a strata of ego identity – personalities and contrast, 5D+ are stratas of soul essence – being and unity). I’ve included some Orbs on this page that have distinct ‘facial features’ within them, or are stationed in geometric formations (sometimes outlining a ship, or sending a ‘geometric message’), for those who wonder whether they are just dust on the camera lens, lens flare, insects or other airborne particulates. I also see some Orbs visually; at first they appeared as quick ‘flashes’, but more recently for longer periods, up to several seconds, and I’ve watched their movements, which has a sort of ‘liquid motion’ look.
The Orbs below have appeared in my photos from 2012 onward. Recent photos from late 2016 onward can be seen on the More Orbs page, which I will continue to update as our friends appear. Deep love and thanks to all the beings represented. Enjoy 🙂
1: Orbs with Faces

Bird being face, neck and shoulders (with duck-like white beak), inside ring of lights, Dec. 3, 2014

Green bird being, with beak pointing downward over the light ring, and two small ‘antennas’ in a headset on its head, Feb. 18, 2015.

Collective orb; blue humanoid face at front, small green face left, large blue owl form upper right of blue face, and others, May 26, 2015.

Ai’Shii’Te’Ra: White Light Carian Being, eagle-like face above a blue owl. See this post for details. Photo May 26, 2015.

‘Teardrop’ orb with faces, one especially clear on right, Jan. 1 2016.
Orb-like form with a clear little being in it, which has a golden frog/tadpole appearance/energy, and looks as if it is climbing out of a well of light! 🙂
2: Orbs in Geometric Formations
This first sequence of three Orbs was taken on November 21, 2015, while I was in communication with Ashura (Arnap), my Twin Flame, about the ‘Green Man/Men’ (see the Shem Arua page and this post for details).
Here is a selection of Orbs in various formations, many of which are a direct visual response to something I was reflecting on/focused on/clarifying at the time.

Companion Orbs exactly mirroring each other’s structures, representing the Moon and Mars, Feb 20th, 2014

Two groups or orbs, one in a straight line at lower right, and the other cupping over the Moon, Nov. 26th, 2015.

Two blue orbs hovering on either side of the peak of the roof, equidistant, on April 7th, 2016.

Pillar formation, in sync with visualizing myself in a pillar of white light, April 2, 2013. Orbs often reflect or instruct like this.

8: White and Silver Orbs
9: Orbs in the Grove
Orbs hovering directly above and around the sacred circle in a beech grove in the garden connected with the presence and activities of star family have appeared in about 50 photos. Here are a few of them:
10: Orbs in Daylight & Indoors
This lovely blue orb travelled from person to person around a table at a family gathering. Maybe you can see a face within it?
This photo was taken in the Perth Concert Hall just before a concert – there were many orbs present, and this was the brightest.

Great photos, Joanna. I added your site to my longish online list of paranormal photo sites:
http://www.orbpro.blogspot.com/2015/01/orb-photos-by-others.html
See my site http://www.orbpro.blogspot for many photos similar to the ones shown here.
I have hundreds of “orb face” photos, some of which look quite similar to yours. I also photograph orbs in many different colors. Plus I get astonishing results photographing water drops — tons of “orb faces” show up regularly. I also get “orb swarms” in which 100+ orbs may appear in the night sky. I get those using a full spectrum camera.

In one of then the suns ray beams down on it. I have just recently lost someone and used to send him text mess pics of my sunrises in the same spot. Whats up with this ? Any ideas ??

Hello Lori, thanks for sharing about your orb photos. Without seeing them, I’m not sure whether you’re photographing an ‘orb’ (as in a light representation of a sentient conscious being/soul) or a type of lens refraction/flare, if you’re facing toward the sun and it’s appearing in the sun’s rays. Even if it is a lens flare or ‘artifact’, I have known other-dimensional beings to send ‘visual messages’ via specific flare forms at times, so in this instance, this would be something for you to feel into, in your heart and being.
Do your photos ever display this particular form when you take pictures not facing toward the sun, at different times of day, or in the evening/night? Is this form ever partially behind leaves/branches/clouds etc, or is it always ‘in front’ of everything in the picture (lens flares/artifacts generated by the lens will always appear in the foreground, not ‘behind’ spatial objects in a photo.
Namaste, Joanna. ❤

Hi! I just found your site while looking into the meanings behind the different colors of orbs. I too have been photographing these since sometime in 2012 and they are in many of my pictures, as well as other anomalies in the sky, sunrises,sunsets,etc. Some only have a couple in them and others have 100’s falling from the sky and look like snow falling its so extreme. I also photograph the colored ones with different colored centers or slits. I’ve become obsessed with it and taking pics of the sun/moon/planets/sky since 2012. This is when I started noticing it, not to mention the changing of the suns color/energy. It was first a bluish color now is a luminescent white color. Im so happy to find your blog and to see someone else is seeing/feeling this and taking the same pics as me. Not everyone seems to capture them, i m curious as to why.? In 2011, I had a near death exp and was brought back to this reality and everything has been different since, I’m in tune with everything it seems, have abilities and tons of knowledge I never had before this happened, and its always growing, as is my thirst for knowledge, esp the hidden knowledge. I’m glad you shared your pics, thank you. 🙂

Hi Heather, thanks for your comment and it’s wonderful to hear of the photos you’re taking too. 🙂 I also had a life-changing experience around the same time as you, 2010-11, to do with a health crisis, that propelled me into an ‘inner revelation’ that I feel is similar to the inner-cosmic experiences people often have during NDEs…and it was also after that, that I began seeing ships and orbs, and taking photos of them…which completely changed the focus of my life. From my perspective, the reason orbs and other light beings/phenomena appear in some people’s photos and not others (I’m not talking about camera flares of dust particles etc here, but actual ‘conscious’ beings that demonstrate their independent existence photographically) is to do with inner attunement and unconditional love, that brings like energies/consciousness/beings into convergence with us, as we converge with them, energetically speaking. Does that make sense to you?
Love and blessings, Joanna. ❤

Yes, it does! I have come to believe, well know (w/out knowing HOW I know), there is a Convergence/Shift/Awakening/Reset, if you will, happening now, and I believe this is what the Mayans were talking about, as well as many others. I go back n forth with my thoughts on what is actually happening, but one thing I feel I know for sure is many of us are finding a balance of our left and right hemispheres of our brains, again not knowing how I know this. I feel like my lower/animalistic self is converging with a higher self consciousness (maybe the same thing as right/left convergence of brain? Shedding of ego self, emergence of more soul/light? I’m finding as I research more n more, stories of the past history repeat themselves over n over, just names change pretty much. Maybe same stories, just different named characters each reset? I feel strongly we’ve had a few resets,5 sounds right, on this planet alone. I went from being curious about “Alien beings/ET to thinking many of them are “us” and our star families from maybe future times? I’m not real sure yet, there are some things I know which are concrete, other things I’m not so sure about which leads to my Constant research on those topics and others alike. 1-I know for sure there are dimensions, I see in my minds eye they are stacked on top of each other. This reality we think is Real is in fact, NOT-This world of form/the physical. 2-There is no linear time, (past,present,future) it’s more of a cause & effect deal and some outcomes can be changed. 3- We have more than 1 body, world/realms (physical/mental/astral,etc). 4-We ABSOLUTELY travel while in REM sleep to the exact same realm, or one of that I exp during my NDE. (I’m working now on becoming more conscious of these travels). 5-We are connected to a silver threadlike cord during these travels to keep us connected to our physical body. (A few things ive been shown/told).
I was never a religious person, always spiritual/aware/awake to truth though, I feel religion was put in place for a mechanism of control and rewritten/infiltrated on numerous occasions. And I feel the bible, some parts of it anyway, is an allegorical manual/guide for us to decipher, too many alignments of what is/has happened to not have some tinge of truth in it, pineal/third eye/light of the body ref to name 1, but so many infiltrations has corrupted the original thought/intention. These area few of MY beliefs, I am not stating this has to be anyone else’s truth. 🙂
We are a part of 1-Big Whole, I fully believe that! We are the micro to the macro and I feel our Cosmic/soul families have been arriving and showing themselves to those who have awakened to it, to guide us through this shift and to help us remember who we truly are/was/will be. I could go on and on, Lol.. I already have written a novel here, my apologies. 🙂
I can get winded on my obsessions. 1 last thing, I’ve come to realize/believe that Languages/our spoken WORD has mixed up, and in some ways, corrupted our intent/thoughts/understanding of the truth. Not sure how/why/when,etc, but this keeps coming to my mind, as well as the famous words “In the beginning, was the WORD.”.
Maybe the beginning of form in the Physical? Again, sorry for the novel comment, I just couldn’t stop once I started. Lol. Thanks for listening and much Light coming from me to you.

One thing that seems to be true, is that Trauma to our physical body/NDE’s/Suffering seems to be a catalyst for MANY of us waking up and remembering or gradually remembering all these things at this time. This is what I’m finding to be true. It’s FASCINATING!! To me, at least. 🙂

Dear Heather, somehow your last two comments didn’t come through to email, I’ve only just seen them. Thanks for sharing your journey and awakening ‘ideas’. Physical trauma, NDEs etc are apparently catalysts for many to wake up. I don’t feel that suffering is a ‘prerequisite’ for awakening at all, but that on Earth, the programming of suffering, of ‘no pain, no gain’ has been so strongly imprinted, that for many of us, that will be the route we take. If that programming/conditioning can be dissolved, then humans have the potential to awaken more easily and gracefully.
‘In the beginning was the Word’. Sound frequencies can indeed be seen to arrange/organize particles into patterns and forms. The universal sound-forms are in a sense, the vibrational building blocks of Life…along with light frequencies. Light and sound flowing from Love create universes….. 🙂

I was wondering about those 4 circles that was on the ground where the orb was heading towards. Can you explain to me what those four circles are on the ground and why that orb was gravitating towards it?
LikeLike
Hi Wendy, the 4 circles are a sacred geometric form called a Rose Cross or Tetracross, which I was guided to make with crystals while activating a node point (nodes are crossing points in the chi flow lines of the Earth) several years ago. This geometry vibrates ‘Foundation of Love’ into/with this node, and the beings who appear representing their light and energy on orb form above it are connecting energetically with the node and the meridian/flow line network of the planet, to bring healing and purification, and freedom into the flow.
Love and blessings,
Joanna. ❤
