The Gift of Spirit Communication Is Within You

by Leave a Comment

Sun bursting through the clouds

Each of us is born with the ability to communicate through the hearts of our spirits with loved ones in spirit, spirit guides, past spiritual masters, the Angels, and God. There is an invisible communication network that connects us to all beings in existence. The ability to tap into that network is a skill that can be learned, or as I like to refer to it, a skill that can be remembered. Throughout the many lifetimes we have lived, as well as the time spent in Heaven, we have known of this ability and have used it. However, when we are born on earth, our memories of this ability can be veiled from us until the right time approaches. Having an open mind and an open heart helps us to retrieve the knowledge of spirit-to-spirit communication built into our souls. It also helps when you have an older soul, someone who has lived many lifetimes and whose gift is strong, to help guide you through the process and learn how to better manage it.

Benefits of Connecting with Heaven

There are many benefits to learning how to communicate via your spirit with loved ones who have crossed over into Heaven, as well as other divine beings. While you may receive signs they are around, it is even better to know why they are around and what they would like to express to you beyond their love. Our loved ones in spirit help us with our lives every day, and if we can open ourselves up to their messages, we can better navigate our lives and become more open to the incredible love that streams into our souls on a daily basis. Our guys and gals in Heaven know how challenging life on earth can be. Because of this and because of the great love they have for us, they do their best to support us through our earthly journeys.

Learning a New Language

Learning how to communicate via your spirit can be equated to learning a new language. This is because the way we communicate through our spirits is different from the way we communicate with one another on the earth plane. Those in spirit use all our senses to transmit messages. Seeing, feeling, hearing, tasting, smelling, and knowing are ways in which the information is received and transmitted; however, the information comes through our extrasensory senses, which go beyond our earthly senses. Symbols are also used to represent information and to communicate concepts at a faster rate across dimensions. Each person’s symbols are uniquely matched to their own experiences. It takes time and knowledge to decipher the meaning of the symbols being used. One of the most amazing aspects of mediumship is that it grows, deepens, and changes. Each day brings an opportunity to expand your knowledge and hone your skills.

Reawakening to the Gifts Within

Spirit mediums are not born knowing they are mediums or conduits to the Other Side. The veil that covers knowledge when we are born is lifted when the time is right for us to share our gifts. We are made aware of our gifts through many experiences, and in my case, I received a true calling that left absolutely no doubt as to my purpose in this lifetime. Not everyone receives this type of calling, nor is it always so strong. Each person has their own mission in life, and serving others in a professional capacity in this way may or may not be your purpose; however, you can still learn how to communicate with loved ones in spirit and other divine beings. If you feel a strong desire to learn, it is because it is necessary for the growth of your spirit to tap into beneficial guidance from Heaven.

Education is Important

Learning how spirit communicate works and how to manage the gift is very important. There are many subtle nuances used by those in spirit, including symbols to communicate the information across dimensions. There are methods that can help in the interpretation of symbols which help both the spirit medium and the recipient of the information. In addition, learning how to set boundaries, about ethical practices, and evidential mediumship, which is a method for retrieving information which can be validated by the recipient of a reading, adds more depth and understanding to this unique form of soul-to-soul communication. It truly is a life-changing experience to learn how to communicate with spirit.

Opportunities to Learn

Spirit communication cannot be taught using only a book or videos. This is because it is vital to receive active feedback from a teacher to help you learn about the process. When choosing a teacher, listen to your intuition and select the teacher you resonate with and who you are drawn towards. Depending upon your life purpose, you can use your gifts and learned knowledge to help yourself and others on a personal or professional level, depending upon your life purpose or calling in life. I hope you enjoy your connection with those in spirit and that you take the time to learn more about it to make the most of your journey in life!

What Does It Mean to be Clairvoyant?

by Leave a Comment

The term clairvoyance, which is defined as extrasensory seeing, is often used to describe mediums and psychics. Psychics may be referred to as clairvoyant because they predict the future often using divination tools, such as tarot cards. If a psychic can literally see scenes in their mind regarding the future, they are not just psychic. They are also a medium and can work on developing their gifts. Mediums are clairvoyant, as they can see images within their mind sent by those in spirit about the past, present, and future. The location where they are seen within the mind is often referred to as the third eye. Mediums also receive information from those in spirit using all their senses. They can see (clairvoyance), feel (clairsentience), hear (clairaudience), taste (clairambience), smell (clairalience), and know information as presented by those in spirit (claircognizance).

What Can Be Seen and Who Sends It

The gift of clairvoyance includes internal visions in the mind of the past, present, and future as sent by those in spirit. As the receiver of the information, the person who is clairvoyant is not the creator. The imagery is provided by those in spirit on a need-to-know basis, as rules apply to what can be transmitted. For example, just because a medium asks to see specific information, it does not mean it will be shown because the information provided in a scene may interfere with a path that needs to be taken for a life lesson. Other times, the information is symbolic, and the medium will need to work through what the symbols mean to interpret the content. Learning about the gifts of mediumship through training helps mediums better understand, expand, and hone their gifts to help others. Those with the extrasensory ability to see may also experience prophetic dreams, which are dreams that reveal events which will take place in the future. At times, prophetic dreams are not fully understood when they occur or may include information the receiver is unable to do anything about. Part of the reason for receiving these dreams is to reveal that someone has the gift of clairvoyance and needs to learn about the gifts to better manage them.

You Can See Them Too

Those in spirit often send signs to those they love on Earth, which do not require the gift of extrasensory seeing to experience. For instance, those in spirit can make themselves appear fully manifested like a ghost. They do not do this often because not only does it take a lot of energy to do, but it can also scare people at times. They can also appear like a flash of movement out of the corner of your eye or like a shadow. There are times when you can see them in a crowd or walking by you. It is not really them as they are creating an illusion by placing an image of themselves over someone else’s face as a sign they are near you. They place visual signs in your path which remind you of them including, but not limited to, seeing their name or a reference to something they loved in life in a way that stands out to you. Loved ones in spirit also use common signs, such as coins, butterflies, dragonflies, hawks, falcons, numbers, feathers, ladybugs, cardinals, and more. When loved ones in spirit appear in dreams, that is them visiting you. It does not matter what the dream is about, it is important that they are there helping your subconscious mind work through the issues of the day and your hopes and fears in symbolic form. There are also vivid, realistic dreams where you can interact with your loved ones in spirit, hug them, and talk with them. This type of dream is a true visitation and is often unforgettable.

We are Connected Through the Hearts of Our Spirit

Our connection with our loved ones in spirit goes beyond life on Earth. They love to let us know they are around, and when they send signs and share communications, it helps us maintain that connection and know that there is more to life than there appears to be.

Recognizing Signs from Heaven

by Leave a Comment

Message in a Bottle

Life on Earth is an accelerated course for soul evolution. We have voluntarily opted to live a lifetime on Earth to learn lessons for the development of our souls, and the negativity we encounter speeds up the process. In Heaven, negativity does not exist. Soul development does occur there; however, the lessons are based more on the giving of service, learning about the many levels of existence, and exploring the multi-faceted methods for communicating across planes. In our journey through life, we are not left to our own devices. Each of us is given extra assistance from our Heavenly Support Team, which includes God, the angels, loved ones in spirit, and spirit guides. They send us signs and messages on a daily basis that can help guide us on our life paths. The key to unlocking the knowledge that is at our disposal is to learn how to recognize and decipher the communications that are being sent from your support team in Heaven. The benefits of receiving this insider advice is almost immeasurable, as it can have far-reaching effects on the positive development of your soul.

Ascension Removes the Veil

When our loved ones ascend to Heaven, knowledge that was obscured from them while on Earth is revealed, giving them a better understanding of the reasons behind their experiences on Earth. They do not become all-knowing, but they do attain greater insight that enables them to see the events on Earth from a more informed perspective. This insight can be utilized to help you navigate your life path if you open yourself to the guidance that is shared by your Heavenly Support Team. In addition to your loved ones in Heaven, you have seasoned spirit guides and angels that have specific knowledge about your chosen life path. They have access to your Akashic Records, which contain information about your past incarnations, as well as the plans for your current incarnation on Earth. The plans contain the life lessons you have chosen to learn, as well as an outline of certain events that could potentially occur in your lifetime. These events could be major turning points in your soul’s evolution that come as a result of the choices you make about you, your relationships, your thought processes, and your purpose. In essence, you are never alone. There is always a kind and loving spirit nearby who is willing to assist you with your life path. Having an open mind, and a heightened level of awareness about the existence and presence of these spiritual beings, are the first steps you can take toward recognizing and receiving messages from your Heavenly Support Team.

Your Personal Tour Guides for Life

Each day you can receive messages from spirit that are like sign posts directing you toward the best path in your daily life, which also impacts your overall life plan. It is like having extremely knowledgeable tour guides to help you navigate the vast experiences of life on Earth. Because these tour guides are in the energy form of spirit and have advanced communication abilities, they use all our senses to get their messages across to us. The greatest challenge they have in communicating with human beings is the built-in system that purposefully creates obstacles through the illusion of fear. This system is referred to as the human ego. It is the seat of negative thoughts that tell you this cannot be possible, that you will not succeed, or that signs and messages from spirit are just a coincidence. You can teach yourself to break past the negative illusions and thoughts to experience the extraordinary connections with your Heavenly Support Team.

Breaking through the Veil

The mental block that is put in place when we are born, otherwise known as the human ego, is a veil that can be parted through conscious awareness of the existence of life beyond the human experience. The first step to managing the negativity created by the human ego is to recognize when thoughts of failure, dismissal, and self-depreciation enter our minds. Halt those thoughts in their tracks by acknowledging their presence and thinking “STOP” in your mind. Then, replace those thoughts with positive affirmations or beliefs about the topic. For example, if you catch yourself thinking the repeated references you keep seeing about your loved one in Heaven are just a coincidence, say “STOP” in your mind, and replace it with “There are no coincidences. These are signs from my loved one in Heaven.” By opening your mind to the extraordinary possibilities of the universe and trusting that loving spirits do exist on other planes, you can consciously open the communication channel that moves past the ego and delivers specific and helpful guidance for your life path.

Everyone Is Born with the Gift of Mediumship

Everyone is born with the ability to communicate via spirit. It is the way we communicate with God, the angels, our loved ones in spirit, spirit guides, and each other. Our prayers, thoughts, and requests for assistance are sent to God, the angels, and our loved ones using telepathic transmissions from one spirit to another, similar to the way in which wireless signals are sent from one computer to another. When we communicate with each other on Earth, these signals are being sent back and forth via our spirits; however, it is something that occurs in the background of conscious awareness. When you are speaking with someone, you know in your heart when a person’s words do not sound or feel right. There may be a nagging thought in the back of your mind or a slight clenching of your stomach muscles that may indicate that this person is not speaking his or her truth. This intuitive information comes from your spirit which houses a higher consciousness and understanding of spirit-to-spirit communication. Even though everyone is born with the gift of mediumship, it does not mean that everyone on Earth is destined to be a spirit medium who shares his or her gifts on a professional level. Just as certain people are born with the ability to excel in sports, others are born with the ability to excel in spirit communication. Your path is unique to you, and if mediumship is your calling, you will know it. If it is not, you can still learn how to use the gift to communicate with your Heavenly Support Team in a way that will benefit you and your loved ones.

A Map to Lead the Way

The benefits of tuning in to the positive messages which come from enlightened beings in Heaven can be equated to being given a map to help you find the most beneficial path to get to your destination, which is the evolvement of your soul through life lessons. Please know that spiritual beings will not give you all the answers or solve all your problems for you. They will sometimes only provide clues or messages to guide you along the way. It is your job as a soul seeking knowledge and learning lessons to make decisions through free will. If you were given all the answers, lessons would not be learned and there would be no point in taking the journey.

Examples of Signs

There are many ways that our Heavenly Support Team sends us messages. It is an abstract form of communication that uses all our senses and goes beyond straightforward verbal and non-verbal cues. Your mind must be open to experiencing and recognizing the extraordinary in the ordinary that surrounds you each day. Here are a few of the more common methods used to transmit messages:

  • Music – Songs you hear in your head or that play on the radio at seemingly coincidental times, are often messages from spirit. Pay attention to the lyrics that you are hearing. If you do not know all the words to the song or the title, look it up. There is a message in it for you about a current event in your life. You could also be hearing music that reminds you of a loved one who has passed away. For instance, my dad loved the band, I often hear “Don’t Stop Believing” in my head or on the radio at times when I need a positive boost. As a note, negative songs and lyrics are not sent from your Heavenly Support Team. They only send positive or helpful messages to help you navigate your life.
  • Visual Clues – When you see an object or image that reminds you of a loved one, it is them letting you know that they are around and that they are sending their love. For instance, one morning I turned on my television and there was a show on about model trains that popped up on the screen. I have no idea what channel I had left the television on the night before, but this was odd because it appeared to be a very old show from the 1960s. I immediately knew this was my dad letting me know that he was around and that he was sending me his love. His major hobby was collecting model trains. There are no coincidences in this world, and many people may have written that off as strange, but if you open your mind, you can learn how to recognize these subtle, and not-so-subtle, messages from spirit.
    • When seeking guidance, pay attention to repeated messages that you see or read. Your Heavenly Support Team will place visual items in your path to help provide answers or guidance. Again, there are no coincidences. Pay attention to repetitious messages and signs as they are trying to help you.
  • Feeling a Presence – Some people on Earth have a very strong sense of extrasensory feeling, or clairsentience. They can physically feel the presence of a loved one in spirit. I often feel the presence of my cats who are in Heaven when I lay down to go to sleep. I feel the warmth of their love in the shape of their bodies that they had on Earth. It feels like a living cat has curled up next to me, and it may be accompanied by the feeling of a slight depression in the bed where they are laying. This may sound scary to some who have not experienced it; however, for those of us who have, it is comforting to feel the warmth and affection of loved ones in spirit.
    • When guidance comes through the sense of feeling, you may experience a feeling that something is off with a situation, which may be accompanied by a clenching of your stomach. If it is an uplifting feeling of joy or great hope, you are being given approval to move forward.
  • Scent in the Air – Have you ever picked up on a scent in the air that does not seem to fit in with your surroundings, such as cookies baking in your office or cigar smoke in a non-smoking hotel? Loved ones in spirit alter the molecules in the air to pipe in certain scents that remind you of them. It could be the smell of their perfume or a mechanic’s garage. When you pick up these unusual scents in the air that seem to have no logical source, who is it that you think of? Is it your grandmother who baked great cookies for family gatherings? Is it your father who used to love working on cars and often came home smelling of grease and oil from his mechanic’s garage? The scents are usually strong and distinct, and they may be picked up on by others in your vicinity. That is because the scent is piped into the air when they send this type of message to you.
    • Guidance through the sense of smell can sometimes have unusual connotations. For example, my Heavenly Support Team uses the scent of a skunk to indicate someone is on the defensive. When this occurs, I know how to handle the situation with great care as the person I am talking to may not be able to hear what needs to be said because they are too busy feeling as though they need to defend themselves or that they do not want to be negatively perceived for their decisions.
  • Cravings Out of the Blue – Have you ever had a sudden craving for your deceased mother’s apple pie, a craving so strong that you can taste it in your mouth? This is yet another way that spirit sends messages to us. The way they send this message is like the way they send messages that utilize our sense of smell. They alter the molecules in the air to send energy associated with certain tastes to the sensors in our mouths. This type of message is usually confused with physical cravings for certain foods. It is important when you experience a very strong craving to take a moment to think about whether this is a message being sent from spirit. Do you associate what you are craving with a particular loved one in Heaven? If so, acknowledge the loved one in spirit for their presence and the sign they sent. Know that they are there to support you in your endeavors and want you to know they are there for you.

Thank Them for the Signs

When you recognize the signs sent by your Heavenly Support Team, be sure to thank them for their efforts. They are always pleased when their transmissions are successful because it means that you are open and paying attention to their loving messages and guidance. You can also ask them for clarity and for more signs to reinforce the direction they would like you to go.

Further Research              

To learn more about how spirits communicate, I recommend that you research the topics of spirit communication, also referred to as mediumship, and intuition. There are many resources out there that can help you to understand the incredible ways that spirits communicate with you. The more you learn, the more you will benefit from the extraordinary assistance that is being given to you on a daily basis from your Heavenly Support Team. Blessings to you and yours!

What is Psychic Amnesia and What You Can Do to Avoid It During a Spirit Medium Reading

by Leave a Comment

A spirit medium reading is a three-way system of communication in which a being in spirit communicates with a spirit medium. The spirit medium receives and then transmits the information to the recipient of the reading. The recipient then identifies and claims the loved one in spirit who is coming through and opens themselves up to the messages being shared. It is a cooperative effort which requires active participation from the being in spirit, the spirit medium, and the recipient of the reading. At times, the recipient of the reading may not readily recall the person or animal coming through, or they may not immediately recognize the memories or messages being shared. This phenomenon is often referred to as psychic amnesia. There are many reasons why this can happen, even when everyone involved is doing their best to ensure clear and concise communications.

Reasons Psychic Amnesia Occurs

  • Only wanting to hear from one person
    • This blocks out openness to others who may be trying to come through to help you with your life
  • Concentrating only on people who recently passed
  • Thinking of your own perspective of the person, not the perspective of the person coming through
  • Waiting for a code word, name, or specific message
    • No matter how much unique identifying information is brought through, some people will not believe it is one of their loved ones in spirit unless they hear a specific word, name, or message
  • In a group reading setting, some people do not want to be the center of attention
  • Denial based on fear
    • Some people do not want to revisit the pain of someone’s passing
    • People have mentioned they denied knowing the person coming through because they were fearful of the emotions that would be brought forth
    • Uncomfortable with spirit communication because they do not understand how it works
    • Do not want to hear from a particular person due to painful situations encountered in life
  • Fear of the unknown
  • Skepticism about spirit communication
    • People who have had negative experiences with people who were not authentic or genuine, or they may have heard stories from others about this, may not want to believe the information coming through
    • Strong religious beliefs or teachings which deny this type of communication exists or is a product of negative beings may be deeply ingrained in someone and they may not be receptive to the information being brought forth
  • Thinking only of blood relatives, not friends, neighbors, associates, or others
  • Being awestruck
    • This can happen at any time, but most often when someone is sitting for a reading for the first time – it is as if their thinking mind has stopped functioning and they cannot even remember details about their own lives, let alone loved ones who have passed
  • Not understanding how spirit communication works
    • Spirit communication is a complex process which involves the use of all the spirit medium’s senses – people who are not familiar with the way it works may sometimes think it is as simple as a fireside chat in which all information about a person’s life is easily shared
  • Impaired judgment due to inebriation from alcohol or drugs
  • Distraction
    • Thinking of other things and not living in the moment
    • Not paying attention to the information being shared
    • Having pets, small children, or other people in the room
  • Fatigue
    • If someone is very tired or exhausted, it may be challenging for them to recall information or to recognize it when it is coming through
  • Strong grief
    • Messages may be brought through, but the person may be so distraught that they have a hard time hearing and digesting the messages

Ways to Avoid Psychic Amnesia

  • Keep an open mind and heart
    • Enter a reading with no expectations or pre-conceived notions of how you who you would like to hear from, how they would come through, or what they would like to share with you as you never know who is going to come through for you, nor can you anticipate the message they will bring
    • Your loved ones in spirit know who you need to hear from and why – remember they view your life from an enlightened perspective
      • They often bring through information which may bring healing for your soul
    • Be open to the information coming through because your loved ones in spirit are doing their best to share information using a very intricate communication process which involves the transference of their messages and information using all the spirit medium’s senses
      • It is like pieces of a puzzle that need to be brought together to define who it is coming through and what they would like to share with you
    • Know that anyone who has passed can come through, including blood relatives, in-laws, ex-in-laws, friends, acquaintances, co-workers, relatives whom you never met but who know you from watching over you from Heaven (such as great grandparents), pets and more
  • Release your fears and trust in the bigger picture
    • Receiving communications from your loved ones in spirit is an amazing experience that originates from the most powerful energy in the universe – love
    • Be aware that fears are often an illusion which block us from achieving our dreams and living the lives we are meant to live
  • Prepare for your spirit medium reading
    • Familiarize yourself with the process
      • Do your research with reputable spirit mediums
      • I provide articles and brief videos to help people understand how spirit communication works
      • I also explain how spirits communicate with me prior to each reading I provide
    • Know that spirit communication is a very complex process which involves the full participation and cooperation of you, your loved ones in spirit, and the spirit medium
  • Record your reading and/or take notes
    • If you don’t remember right away, there is a good chance you will remember later or the information they shared will be revealed in the future
    • Sometimes information shared in a reading may be referring to a situation occurring in the future that you have no prior knowledge of
  • Be awake, alert, and sober as this is a special form of communication which requires your active participation
  • Allow time to grieve before contacting a spirit medium for a reading
    • In the first stages of grief, which includes feelings of anger and denial of the person’s passing, it is best to wait until your heart and spirit have begun to heal and accept the person’s or pet’s passing
  • Do not be too hard on yourself if you temporarily forget loved ones or memories
    • There may be a reason why you are not remembering information right away, such as those in spirit wanting you to speak with others about them after the reading

Relax and Enjoy the Experience of a Spirit Medium Reading

Most of all, it is important to make the most of your spirit medium reading by relaxing and allowing the process to naturally unfold. If you open yourself up to this incredible form of communication, the healing that comes from a spirit medium reading can change your life in amazing ways. Enjoy the communications coming through from your loved ones in spirit, as they are motivated by love, which is the greatest gift that can be transmitted from one being to another.

Not Seeing Signs from Loved Ones in Spirit? Here Are Reasons Why

by 2 Comments

Black Butterfly

When a loved one crosses over into Heaven, they often send signs to let their loved ones on earth know they are in existence in spirit and still connected with them, as well as to share their love and let them know they are doing well in Heaven. Often, these signs can be very strong soon after their crossing. This is because they are still vested in the people they love on earth and want to bring them assurance and comfort during their time of grief. The signs must be very strong during these times because grief tends to immerse our souls in sadness, effectively blocking awareness of that which exists outside of ourselves. Because they recently crossed over, loved ones in spirit usually have an experienced guide with them to help orchestrate the occurrence of these signs.

Signs from Heaven

Immediately after a loved one in spirit crosses, it may seem as though there are no signs at all, or the signs may be very strong and clear then seem to lessen or disappear altogether. There are many reasons why it may seem as though loved ones in spirit are not sending as many signs or any signs at all. First, let us explore the ways loved ones in spirit send signs and examples of some of the stronger ones which may occur soon after they cross over into Heaven. Soon after a loved one in spirit crosses over into Heaven, they are often eager to send a sign to their loved ones on earth letting them know they have crossed over into Heaven, as well as to send their love and comfort. Often, loved ones in spirit are accompanied by a guide to help them during their time of transition and these guides assist with the sending of signs. Because people in spirit no longer have a physical body with which to send communications, they use the universal soul-to-soul form of communication, also known as spirit communication or mediumship, which is a much richer method for transmitting information. This method can utilize all the senses to provide a deep and direct connection with those they are trying to communicate with. The options are limitless when it comes to the many ways loved ones in spirit can send signs. Here are some examples of strong signs sent soon after a loved one crosses over into Heaven:

  • Seeing a loved one in spirit fully manifested in energy form, much like the appearance of a ghost, in which you see them in a slightly transparent form of themselves (Note: This takes a tremendous amount of energy and, therefore, a rare occurrence.)
  • Seeing loved ones in spirit in dreams
  • Finding coins or feathers in unusual places
  • Seeing repeated visual signs which remind you of the loved one in spirit, such as their favorite places in the world, hobbies, jobs, their name, or their relationship to the recipient, as well as butterflies, ladybugs, dragonflies, hummingbirds, doves, and more
  • Smelling a strong scent in the air which is reminiscent of the loved one who passed, such as their perfume or cologne, cigar or cigarette smoke, or the scent of their home
  • Catching a quick glimpse out of the corner of your eye of a presence in the form of the loved one in spirit or as a dark shadow (Note: Dark shadows are often misidentified as ominous entities, when they are really loved ones in spirit who are partially manifesting.)
  • Feeling as though a loved one in spirit placed a hand on one’s shoulder or affectionately touching your face – this feeling can be accompanied by a tingling sensation on the shoulder or face
  • Feeling a presence with you that is comforting
  • Hearing the voice of a loved one in spirit saying your name or words of comfort
  • Songs playing on the radio about Heaven or that remind you of a loved one in spirit
  • Electronics acting up for no explainable reason (e.g., blinking lights, electronic screens freezing up or digitizing, children’s toys or music devices playing on their own, etc.)
  • And much more

Reasons Why Signs from Loved Ones in Spirit Seem to Lessen or Not Occur

Often, people on earth expect their loved ones in spirit to manifest like a ghost in front of them and be able to hold a long conversation with them with questions and answers. This may happen; however, it is very, very rare. The energy it takes to do this is tremendous and the loved ones in spirit may not know how to do this immediately after crossing over. Instead, signs are sent to get their messages through. What happens though when it seems these signs are lessening over time or seem to disappear? Again, there are many reasons why signs may seem to lessen or not be present at all. It is not because your loved ones no longer care for you. They do and they are around you whether you are aware of their presence or not. Here are some examples as to why it may be challenging to recognize signs or why they seem to have dissipated:

  • Strong grief can temporarily block the ability to recognize signs (Note: This is because deep grief turns the attention inwards and can be all encompassing at times. Experiencing grief after loss is a natural process in which we need to give ourselves time to process our feelings and emotions, as well as time to adjust to the major transitions and changes to our lives.)
  • Not knowing how loved ones in spirit send signs or communicate with loved ones on earth
  • Expecting the same sign every time
  • Loved ones in spirit give us space to heal our hearts (Note: If they constantly made their presence known, those of us on earth would have difficulty moving forward because their presence may potentially prevent us from adapting to not having them physically with us on earth. This is a major transition for both you and your loved one. Even though your souls remain connected, adjustments need to be made and acknowledged for healing to take place.)
  • Times when loved ones in spirit are not allowed to interfere with decisions we need to make. It is during these times that it will feel as though they are not with us.
  • We are very sad or focusing too much on the mundane issues of life, which eats up focus and closes us off to recognizing signs
  • Misconstruing signs as representations of negative entities
  • Missing or dismissing signs due to lack of knowledge, fear, sadness, skepticism, or disbelief
  • Not giving yourself time to heal and adjust to the major transitions which occur when a loved one crosses over into Heaven, which can lead to a desperate search for signs when loved ones in spirit are trying to give you time and space to heal
  • They are learning how to send signs to loved ones on earth and participating in activities in Heaven which temporarily suspend the sending of signs

Be Kind to Yourself and Know Your Loved Ones in Spirit Are There for You

As with any major transition in our lives, we need time to adjust to the changes. While we are processing grief on earth and living our lives, our loved ones in spirit are also adjusting to their existence in Heaven. You and your loved ones in spirit are connected through the hearts of your spirits. There is nothing that can break the bond of the love you share. Be kind to yourself by giving yourself time to grieve, learn about how loved ones in spirit communicate and send signs, and have patience with yourself and your loved ones in spirit. They are there for you and will send signs when the time is right for you.

Why Spirit Communication Uses All the Senses

by 2 Comments

Sun shining through the clouds over mountains

When loved ones communicate from the Other Side, they use all the senses to bring through identifying information about themselves, as well as messages for their loved ones here on Earth. Recently, a client asked me why they do that rather than sharing information through straightforward conversation using words alone. If they can transmit words and phrases, why don’t they just do that instead of using all the senses to transmit messages and information?

How Spirit Communication Works

As a spirit medium, I receive and share communications from the Other Side for clients interested in connecting with their deceased loved ones, as well as for myself and those I love. It is a complex form of communication using all the senses to transmit information across dimensions from one being to another. Images of deceased loved ones are sent to my mind’s eye, also referred to as the Third Eye, to provide a description of what they looked like in life. They also send images of activities they participated in while on Earth, places they lived, jobs they worked, hobbies, and more, to help with the identification process. Words, phrases, meaningful songs, and sound effects are used to enhance and add to the information coming through. In addition, physical indicators are provided to indicate how they passed, as well as if there was anything unusual about their physical condition that would be noteworthy in order to help identify them. I receive a good feel for their personality traits, as well as memories associated with specific tastes and scents. The information needs to be pieced together like an abstract puzzle in order to identify the loved ones coming through, as well as to interpret the messages they are sending. All this information is transmitted from their spirit to mine through the invisible network which connects all of us to one another.

When my client asked why loved ones in spirit communicate in such an elaborate way instead of just stating the information in a straightforward manner, it got me to thinking. Why don’t they do that? It would certainly be easier than piecing together the bits of information to identify them and bring through messages. To me, the way they communicated using all my senses was a given. I never questioned it. I accepted it without question as their preferred method of communication. When presented with this question, I asked my Heavenly Support Team for the answers.

 Receiving Answers

The most immediate answer I received was that spirit communication is part of the great mysteries. By that, I mean the great mysteries of our existence. For example, the reasons for our existence, why we are experiencing life on Earth, and whether Heaven exists. As human beings, we are on a spiritual journey on Earth to grow as souls. We experience a myriad of challenges and victories designed to help us to discover our strengths and weaknesses, to learn to love ourselves and others, and to help us discover our connection with the divine and what exists beyond life on Earth. Faith is a significant part of our lessons. Throughout our lives we face a multitude of situations designed to build or instill faith. The gift of free will enables us to decide for ourselves what we believe or disbelieve.

Providing a Blank Canvas for Learning

When we were born, the knowledge we had of Heaven was temporarily veiled from us. This is done to provide us with the maximum amount of opportunities to grow as souls, because if we came down here knowing everything, there would be nothing to strive toward. Part of our spiritual journey includes the quest to rediscover the hidden knowledge about the existence of worlds and beings beyond our earthly existence. Because life is a journey based on free will choices about whether to believe or disbelieve in something greater than us, we are given glimpses or hints of the extraordinary through miracles, near death experiences, dreams, visions, and spirit communications and signs, including uncanny circumstances that have no earthly explanation. These experiences are designed to inspire us to think, question our beliefs, reinforce our faith, or provide answers to questions about our lives.

Leaving Room for Questions

The phenomenon of spirit communication provides proof of our existence beyond life on Earth, but it also leaves room for questions. It is the universal language of the soul which transcends ordinary verbal communication in order to provide in-depth first-person perspectives from the deceased loved one. Unique identifying information, which would not be known to the spirit medium but known to the recipient of the reading or their loved ones, is shared to provide proof of the deceased loved one’s continued existence in spirit. It could be the description of a specific episode in the life of the recipient or the recipient’s relatives in which only they were present. The very richness of the communications using all the senses provides a fully immersive perspective from the sender, which allows for seeing, feeling, hearing, tasting, smelling, and knowing information about the past, present, and future. Language barriers do not exist, as any words or phrases brought through are automatically translated into a language the spirit medium best understands. This is true for deceased loved ones who spoke a different language, as well as animals who also have the ability to communicate spirit-to-spirit.

The incredible experience of communicating spirit-to-spirit goes beyond two-dimensional verbal communications to a fully immersive experience providing detailed sensory impressions of actual experiences of the deceased, as well as information and guidance about the future. The process itself is awe-inspiring and humbling, as it brings forth knowledge and proof of that which exists beyond life on Earth. In view of our purpose in life to journey onward as souls gathering knowledge and basing our spiritual beliefs upon our experiences, it makes sense that spirit communication is part of the great mysteries. It provides extraordinary insights and knowledge which inspires us to think and to determine for ourselves whether we are believers.

Signs and Messages to Loved Ones on Earth

When loved ones in spirit send signs or bring through messages directly to their loved ones on Earth, without the help of a trained spirit medium, they use all the senses as well. For example, they will place a scent in the air which reminds the receiver of the scent of a loved one in spirit, such as their specific cologne or perfume, cigarette smoke, flowers, or food baking or cooking. The scents piped into the air usually do not fit within the environment in which they are experienced. For example, one morning I smelled brownies baking in my kitchen, even though no one in the house was cooking or baking and had not for hours, and all the windows were closed, meaning the scent was not wafting in from a neighbor’s home. There were no scented candles lit or any other devices which would have piped the scent into the air. There was no earthly origin for that scent. The experience immediately brought to mind my father’s mother, who loved to bake and cook. It was her way of letting me know she was around. Because loved ones in spirit utilize all our senses to communicate, they have a vast treasure trove of methods for getting our attention in order to let us know of their existence beyond life on Earth.

These occurrences, which are not coincidences, inspire awe and wonder about the great mysteries, which is exactly what they are designed to do. Through the gift of free will, human beings have the ability to believe or disbelieve the information being provided. Instead of providing all the answers in a straightforward manner, beings in spirit employ communication methodologies which encourage the inner journey of determining personal faith and beliefs. Again, this quest to rediscover the knowledge within our souls is part of our spiritual journey as human beings and is written into our soul contracts as lessons for this lifetime.

It is an Honor

The ability to communicate spirit-to-spirit is a unique gift and an honor. It enables me to help others on Earth to better understand our universe, how spirit communication works, our soul purposes, and evidence of what exists beyond life on Earth. It does not mean I am all-knowing. Like you, I am on a spiritual journey to rediscover the hidden knowledge of the great mysteries. Being able to communicate directly with beings in spirit fulfills the calling bestowed upon me in this lifetime to be the bridge between this world and the next. It enables me to help others with their spiritual journeys, while also encouraging my own explorations into the deeper meanings behind our existence.

May your own journey include many inspiring moments of wonder and awe, as well as encouragement to explore beyond the ordinary experiences of life to reveal the extraordinary mysteries of the universe.
