Synchronicity and the Divine Timing of Events

by Leave a Comment

Swinging Pocket Watch

Do you know that no matter what actions you take, you are always on the right path for you? Even when it seems mistakes are being made or you are unsure about which path to follow, events are being orchestrated from the Other Side to help lead you into situations which provide opportunities for growth and the evolution of your soul.

Soul Lessons

Deep within our souls, we have information that contains our goals for this lifetime. These goals are defined by the soul contracts created prior to birth about the lessons we agreed to learn for this lifetime. This information is veiled from us when we are born in order to allow us to work through challenges and experiences with an open mind. It also provides opportunities for us to rediscover the spiritual aspects of our souls and our divine reasons for being. In many ways, it may seem as though we are blindly forging ahead, not knowing what will happen or what to expect. This cannot be further from the truth as we are constantly being guided into situations to help us with our lives. We receive a tremendous amount of assistance from our Heavenly Support Teams who help us navigate our paths through signs and messages, as well as help us to be in the right place at the right time for events to unfold with perfect divine timing.

Worrying About Outcomes

As human beings, we have the tendency to worry about outcomes and will attempt to take actions to drive the outcomes we desire. Questions swirl in our minds about what is going to happen in the future with our relationships, careers, jobs, finances, children, parents, friends, family, pets, and more. We question our decisions and actions, often wondering if they were the right ones. It is natural to be concerned about what will happen next. Excessive worrying, though, can halt progress and rob us of the present because we can become lost in the various worst-case scenarios our minds create. If you find yourself getting lost in worry, especially about situations beyond your control, it is very helpful to think of potential backup plans and actions you can take. By doing so, you are redirecting your thinking to possible solutions instead of repeatedly focusing on the problems. When even that becomes difficult to do and you find yourself struggling or feeling overwhelmed, it may be time to “let go and let God.” This means surrendering your problems to God, knowing that God can handle them better than you, and waiting for direction on the next steps you should take. It is a form of surrender in which you let go of the desire to control outcomes and allow the divine to help steer you in the best direction. It is not a relinquishing of responsibility for situations. It is providing your soul with a break from stress and worry to allow you to reset your thinking and open your thought process to new solutions.

Divine Intervention

All experiences, whether positive or negative, are designed to help us successfully progress through our soul lessons. The Archangels, tasked with helping humankind with their journeys, facilitate events on earth to maximize the opportunities for each soul. The timing, whether you agree with it or not, is truly amazing. The sheer scale of the real-time planning and organization of events is mind-boggling.

With every action there is a reaction with rippling effects across the lives of many, which then creates more actions and reactions, all of which tie into our individual soul contracts. The ripples keep going without end, creating perpetual cycles which weave together to simultaneously assist with the achievement of personal soul lessons while maintaining a functioning world. The incredible precision for the timing of events for millions of people is truly astounding; and yet, it occurs often without notice or appreciation. It is usually when major events line up in such a way that the only conclusion is divine intervention, that our eyes are opened to this phenomenon of being in sync with our divine plans and we recognize the hand of something greater than us steering our course.

How Our Heavenly Support Teams Help Us

by Leave a Comment

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, past spiritual masters, 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 (except for the ultra-private moments in which you are given your privacy). 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 to Some Degree

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 sending 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.

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.

Messages in Music from Loved Ones in Spirit

by 1 Comment

music conductor

Music is an incredible blending of sounds which taps into the power of our emotions. In addition to making us want to dance, laugh, cry, and more, it brings up memories that speak to our souls. Every day, we hear songs on the radio, jingles on TV, soundtracks from movies, streaming from the Internet, someone singing a song as they walk down the street, and in our mind. The songs may seem random; however, at times, they carry messages of import from the Other Side.

The Music Around Us

Have you ever had a song play in your vicinity that matches what you were thinking at that very moment or reminds you of a loved one in spirit? Is it a coincidence or is it your loved ones in spirit sending you a message? More often than not, it is our loved ones in spirit helping us with our lives or letting us know they are around. There are no coincidences in this world. Our loved ones in spirit often use music to communicate with us.

Music That Plays in Your Head

When you have a song that is playing in your head, have you ever wondered why you are hearing it? The song, as well as the lyrics, may be providing you with an answer to help you with your life. The music is being sent by your loved ones in spirit. It is one of the ways they can get direct messages to you without using a spirit medium.

Messages in the Music

Pay attention to the lyrics of songs that play in your head. If you do not know all the lyrics, search for them online by typing in the word “lyrics” then whatever words you have. You will find the song because they are using your music, not theirs, to get the messages through. When it is a song that reminds you of a loved one, that is their way of letting you know they are around. When it is your music, they are trying to give you an answer or guidance. It is helpful to try to remember what you were thinking about right before the music started playing in your head as the music often contains their message to you about that situation. One of my favorite examples is when I booked a 3-day expo in Maryland but then had a slight feeling of foreboding about it. I went outside and sat on my bench out front and asked my loved ones in spirit if I should cancel the booking. At first, I did not receive an answer, so I decided to go back in the house. As I was walking into the house I heard the lyrics, “when it’s time to change, it’s time to rearrange,” from The Brady Bunch show playing in my head. I stopped in my tracks and realized they wanted me to cancel the booking. I did and it was a good thing, too. As it turned out, there was a hurricane which blew through the expo that weekend. No one got hurt, but all the booths were destroyed. I have certainly learned to listen to the intuitive feelings and messages in the music I receive, and I hope you do, too, from here on out. As a note, if you were thinking about when a particular outcome would happen, such as when you would get a job, and you are hearing a song which highlights a time of year, it is not the lyrics, but the timing they are providing. For instance, if you are hearing “The Monster Mash,” the timing would be October because it is a Halloween song.

Memories and Knowing Loved Ones in Spirit Are Around

Songs may turn your thoughts toward memories of a deceased loved one. For instance, when I hear the Beatles’ song “Michelle” in my head, I know that my best friend, Michele, who passed away more than two decades ago, is nearby and sending me her love. At other times, when I was struggling with a particularly vexing issue, I would hear “All You Need Is Love,” again, by the Beatles’. It was being sent by Michele, as we loved listening to them together, and it was her way of making me smile knowing she was sending me her love.

Important Note

It is important to note that loved ones in spirit will never send you any messages telling you to hurt yourself or anyone else. They are there to help you, not to bring harm. Also, if they have a sense of humor, they will use that to make you laugh or to lighten up the mood for you.

Loving the Messages in Music

The more you pay attention to the messages your loved ones in spirit send through music, the more they will use it to let you know they are around or to help you with your life. Enjoy the music and the messages!

Who Watches Over Us from Heaven?

by 2 Comments

painting of an angel helping a worried man We have a whole host of beings in spirit, whom I refer to as our Heavenly Support Teams, who watch over us from Heaven including God, the Archangels, other orders of angels, guardian angels, past spiritual masters, spirit guides, and our loved ones in spirit. They watch over us and help us due to their love for us and their desire to assist us through this lifetime. They are around us more often than we think or realize; however, we do get our privacy during our very private moments.

Under the Guidance of Archangels

Our loved ones in spirit love to help us with our lives. They know how challenging life can be and they want to help us when they can. They do this under the guidance of the Archangels who have been tasked with helping humankind with our life journeys. The Archangels are the keepers of our Akashic Records, which contain not only our soul contracts and records for this lifetime, but also all our past lifetimes and the outlines of future lessons or events. There are some limits as to what our loved ones in spirit can do, including not being able to interfere with decisions involving life lessons for our souls. We are here to learn and grow through our life lessons. If they gave us all the answers or guided us through everything, it would deprive us of learning what we need to expand our consciousness and grow as souls.

Volunteer Guardian Angels

We are assigned guardian angels when we are born. Often, after crossing over into Heaven, our loved ones in spirit with whom we shared special connections and relationships volunteer to be our guardian angels. Not only do they watch over us, but also those closest to us on Earth. When your loved ones in spirit cross over and volunteer, they are added to our team of angels. When returning to the realm of Heaven, there is an adjustment period where those in spirit may need reminders or classes to learn or relearn how to communicate across dimensions, send signs, or be a guardian angel. Loved ones in spirit have shown me how they go to the past life pavilion to learn as much as they can about those they have volunteered to watch over. This means having access to information they may not have been privy to in life. They do this not to be intrusive, but because they need to know about the impactful events in our lives and how they affected us, in order to better anticipate our free will decisions. Once they have completed their classes, they are ready to actively participate in helping us through the sending of signs and messages to give us insights to guide our way, by protecting us physically and emotionally, and keeping watch over us and all whom we love.

Do They Get to Enjoy Heaven, too?

While it sounds as though our loved ones in spirit who are guardian angels do not have the opportunity to enjoy Heaven, they do. Not only do they take turns watching over us, but also time runs differently in Heaven, which gives them the ability to enjoy their divine paradise. They get to enjoy everything Heaven has to offer while also helping us in the process through their love, divine connections, and knowledge.

How to Know Which Loved One in Spirit is Near

When it comes to loved ones in spirit, it is easier to determine who is watching over us because of our knowledge of them and what they use to send signs. For instance, our loved ones will use different variations of all our senses to send signs which remind us of them. It could be a scent in the air, seeing a reminder of something they liked to do or seeing their name, hearing a specific song, feeling that they are around, or getting a craving for foods they liked. Whichever method they use, they are trying to remind us of them and get us thinking about them. There are hundreds of ways they send signs. If we are open to the signs, recognize them, and do not dismiss them as mere coincidences, we will be much more aware of the presence of our loved ones in spirit and how they help us each day. There are times, though, when it seems our loved ones in spirit are not around us. This can occur when we are in deep grief, which can dim our ability to be open, and it can happen when we have an important life decision to make in which they are not allowed to interfere with the process. When it comes to the life lessons and the decisions we need to make on our own, our loved ones in spirit are still there with us, they are not allowed to make their presence known in order to provide us with the space we need to make our free will decisions. When it is other members of our Heavenly Support Team watching over us, it can be a little harder to determine for those who are not spirit mediums. However, if the angel, Archangel, spirit guide, etc., wants us to know their identity, they will leave a sign or figure out a way to get a message through.

Surrounded by Love

We are surrounded by love and our heavenly helpers each day. Again, have no concerns about those very private moments as they do not want to see them. They know we need and value our privacy. Pay attention to the signs and thank them through your thoughts for all their love and divine assistance.

With Love and Light,

Sleep Paralysis: Scientific Phenomenon or Supernatural Fright?

by Leave a Comment

Have you ever woken up unable to move, feeling as if something was pressing you down into the bed? This alarming experience is called sleep paralysis. It is a condition in which you feel mentally awake, but unable to physically move your body. The feeling may last for a few seconds or up to a few minutes. It often occurs upon wakening; however, it is also known to occur when one is in the process of falling asleep. It can be accompanied by a physical feeling of pressure on the throat or chest and an inability to vocally express oneself. Some people report feeling or seeing a presence in the room, which many perceive to be otherworldly and ominous in nature.

What is Sleep Paralysis?

According to Beth Roybal at WebMD (2023), when we are sleeping our body shuts down to prevent us from physically acting out our dreams. At times when we are awakened during the dream cycles of our sleep, the physical body remains in shut down mode which can create frightening sleep paralysis conditions. Essentially, it signals an issue with our bodies being slightly out of sync with our sleep cycles. During the Rapid Eye Movement (R.E.M.) cycle, which is when dreams occur, the body is placed in a relaxed mode that allows you to rest and prevents you from fully acting out your dreams. If you become conscious within the R.E.M. cycle, your body may remain in an immobilized state and your perceptions of reality can be peppered with altered-state illusions making it seem as though there is an ominous presence in the room. This is especially the case when we are in a state of extreme fright about not being able to move our bodies or vocally express our fear. It is not a being holding us down, but our own bodies preventing us from acting out our dreams. Sleep paralysis experiences usually only last a few seconds to a few minutes; however, it can feel as though it is much longer than that when you are in the midst of this type of episode.

Personal Experience with Sleep Paralysis

When I was in my teens, I recall experiencing this type of paralysis. It was extremely frightening to be incapable of moving my body or making a sound. I remember lying there, not knowing what was happening, just praying for it to pass. As panic bubbled up within, I attempted to calm my racing heart by slowing down my breathing and telling myself this would pass. My personal experience, while terrifying, only occurred once in my life, and it did not involve a perception of an ominous presence in the room. During my experience with sleep paralysis, I was able to talk myself through the experience until the sensors in my brain alerted my physical body to remove itself from dream mode. It is very frightening to experience sleep paralysis; however, I am glad to say it is an infrequent occurrence which may only occur once in someone’s lifetime, if at all. When it happens, though, it is an unforgettable experience.

Who is Affected by Sleep Paralysis and What Can Be Done

According to Roybal at WebMD (2023), the most frequent occurrences are reported in the teen years; however, sleep paralysis can happen to people of all ages. There are many underlying reasons why it occurs, some of which may include sleeping on one’s back, stress, sleep schedule changes, and lack of sleep. If sleep paralysis is a habitual problem, it is recommended that you talk with your doctor about your sleep patterns and conditions, as well as the stress levels in your life. There are many factors that affect our sleep, and if you are experiencing problems, it is best to speak to a specialist who can help you work on the issues.

Rest Easy

All in all, sleep paralysis has a scientific reason for occurring based on the natural functions of the human body. It is not an ominous being taking control over you. The fear factor runs high when this occurs, and in a dream-like state, this experience can quickly turn into a sort of waking nightmare in which the mind creates all kinds of scary reasons for its occurrence. For those who have experienced sleep paralysis, there are ways of minimizing the effects when you are experiencing an episode. Knowledge is power in this case as it can help you to recognize the condition for what it is and ease the effects. For example, when you know this is a condition in which the mind awakens to consciousness before the body, you can work on calming yourself down through deep breaths and repeating to yourself, “Everything is alright, this will pass” until it does pass within a few seconds or minutes.

Blessings to you and sweet dreams!

Messages in Music from Loved Ones in Spirit

by Leave a Comment

When we hear music, it is not a jumble of sounds and words mashed together, but an incredible blending of sounds designed to reach out and touch our souls. Music is a powerful emotional stimulator. It can make us laugh, cry, want to dance, etc. Moviemakers use it all the time to stir our emotions while watching a film.  Every day, we hear songs on the radio, jingles on TV, soundtracks from movies, streaming from the Internet, someone singing a song as they walk down the street, and in our mind. The songs may seem random; however, at times, they carry messages of importance from the Other Side.

Have you ever had a song come on the radio that matches exactly what you were thinking at that very moment or that expresses exactly how you feel about a particular situation in your life? Is it a coincidence or is it your loved ones in spirit sending you a message? There are no coincidences in this world and our loved ones in spirit love to use music to help us with our lives. It is not only music you hear outside of yourself, but also in your mind that they use to bring messages directly to you.

Signs from Loved Ones in Spirit Through Music

Often, our loved ones in spirit orchestrate events for us to hear music outside of ourselves that remind us of them. As mentioned, there are no coincidences. They work hard to send signs not only through music, but also signs you see, feel, hear, taste, and smell. These signs are their way of letting you know they are around, sending you love and comfort. For example, my dad who is in Heaven, often uses Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” to send a dual message. The first part is to let me know he is with me. The second part is to tell me to keep believing in Heaven and all the extraordinary reasons for our existence, as well as the love and support that comes from my entire Heavenly Support Team.

When I received devasting news from the veterinarian about my kitten, Panther, the first song that came on when I got back in my vehicle was “Don’t Stop Believing.” It was very comforting to know my dad was with me at that very moment. Your loved ones in spirit do this for you, too. They will use songs that remind you of them, and they may also contain dual messages.

Messages from Loved Ones in Spirit Through Music

Loved ones in spirit also use music to bring direct messages to you through the lyrics. In this case, they use the music you know and have it play in your mind. When you have a song that is playing in your head, have you ever wondered why you are hearing it? The song, as well as the lyrics, often provide you with answers to help you with your life or to let you know how they are doing in Heaven. When hearing music playing in your head, look up the lyrics. The song lyrics may bring up memories of a particular time of year (which may be your answer as to when an event will occur, or when your problem will be resolved) or it may be providing you with an actual answer to your problem.

Songs also may turn your thoughts toward memories of a deceased loved one. For instance, when I hear the Beatles’ song “Michelle” in my head, I know that my best friend, Michele, who passed away more than three decades ago, is nearby and sending me her love. At other times, when I was struggling with a particularly vexing issue, I would hear “All You Need Is Love” by the Beatles. That is Michele’s way of bringing a smile to my face and reminding me to get back to what really matters, the giving and receiving of love. It is very important to note that loved ones in spirit will never send any music telling you to hurt yourself or others. They are all about love and being helpful through their messages.

Paying Attention to the Music

By becoming more aware of your personal soundtrack of music, that which you hear in your mind or that drifts into your ears at just the right time, will enable you to better recognize the auditory messages and signs from your loved ones in spirit.

Enjoy the music and the messages!
