Soul Connections are Made in Heaven

September 7, 2026 by healings-admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever met someone and felt an instant connection? This can happen with people and animals. The reason it occurs is because we have already met them in Heaven and agreed to meet again in this lifetime.

Establishing Relationships in Heaven

The time we spend in Heaven is not just about being at peace and watching over our loved ones here on Earth as guardian angels. We have opportunities to meet other souls and establish relationships with them. When the time comes for us to experience another lifetime, we can make agreements in our soul contracts to meet again on Earth. Often, the agreements are tied into life lessons we need to learn as we agree to help one another to grow as souls.

Soulmates

When people talk about soulmates, they often refer to it as someone who is meant to be in their life. That is a true statement as it is part of a soul contract to meet again in this lifetime. Soulmates are not limited to romantic relationships, though, and not all soulmate relationships are healthy ones. This is because the lessons we agreed to learn in this lifetime may include situations that challenge us to learn to love ourselves or how to work through difficult experiences. Soulmates agree to help us with those lessons, even if they are hard and they may only be in our lives for the duration of the lessons, not our entire lifetimes. There are soulmates that teach us more positive lessons about giving and receiving love. Again, these relationships are not limited to romantic connections. They can be friendships, family relationships, and relationships with animals, too. All soulmate relationships are deep. We feel them in our souls. Whether they are healthy or unhealthy, they all serve a purpose to help us learn and grow as souls.

Understanding the Lessons

While we are here on Earth, we may or may not understand the reasons behind certain experiences. This is especially true when we are in the middle of challenging situations as we are more focused on resolving them or working through them. The stress of that can make it difficult to see the lessons. To help ourselves to more readily understand, it is helpful to ask ourselves, “What am I supposed to be learning from this situation?” or “What are the positive benefits that are coming from this situation?” Again, it may not be clear at first. If we can get past the initial reaction of “Why is this happening to me?” to get to a place of looking for the lessons or benefits, we can change our focus from the problem to the lessons we are learning. This change in mindset provides a deeper understanding that can relieve the pressures of stress while providing knowledge to help us move forward with solutions.

Thankful for All Connections

Whether our soul connections with others are positive or negative, they all serve a positive purpose for the evolution of our souls. The strongest connections are with the soulmates we met in Heaven and have agreed to meet again in this lifetime. We are all here to help one another, whether that is through challenging circumstances or through the giving and receiving of love. On a personal level, I am thankful for the lessons I have learned, as well as for those I have yet to learn, as they have helped me to grow as a soul. I hope you, too, can see the blessings of who you are and how far you have come.

Refresh Your Soul in Nature

August 11, 2026 by healings-admin Leave a Comment

Spending time in nature is a wonderful way to refresh your soul. It is a form of meditation when we allow ourselves to appreciate and enjoy all Mother Nature has to offer as it gives our souls a break from the tasks and pressures of life. To make the most of our time with nature, temporarily release your thoughts and worries and allow yourself to enjoy the beauty of our natural world.

Enjoying Nature

Parks are wonderful places to connect with nature. These places have been set aside to preserve and protect the natural habitats of the earth. When we visit them, we are there not only to enjoy them, but also to preserve the flora and fauna that reside there by respecting the land and all its creatures that dwell there. When you go to a park, wildlife preserve, or beach, take along your binoculars to get a good look at the birds, plants and animals that you discover along your path. Sturdy and comfortable footwear and a bottle of water are recommended. You may also want to bring along a pen and paper to record your thoughts or draw what you see. A camera, too, can help you to capture the beauty of what you are experiencing. Have no expectations other than to breathe in the fresh air and to take delight in the sights and sounds that nature offers. Take note of the way the sun filters through the trees or sparkles as it reflects off the water of a stream, lake, or the ocean. Listen to the music of the birds as they sing to one another in the trees. To see the animals, the best time to visit is near dawn or dusk, as this is when they come out to forage for food. Most of all, respect their homes and habitats by simply being an observer. Do not destroy or disturb their environment or leave litter behind. We can all be good citizens of this earth by respecting nature and our environment. Be there to enjoy the splendor and to breathe in the peace that comes from observing nature’s simplicity and beauty. It is a gift worth preserving. For those of you who are already actively respecting and maintaining the environment in big and small ways, know that Mother Nature sends you her gratitude.

Nature is Everywhere

Nature can be enjoyed at any time. You do not need to be at a park to hear the birds or to walk barefoot in the grass or in the sand. Nature is all around us, every day. It is the air we breathe, the wind that caresses our faces, the water we drink, the vegetables and plants we eat, the flowers we grow, the pets we open our homes and hearts to, the rabbits that hop in our yards, the bees that propagate the pollen for the plants, and the sun that brings warmth and light to our world. Enjoy it, respect it and give gratitude for it. Whenever you need to feel refreshed and rejuvenated, go outside and take a deep breath. Thank Mother Nature for the gifts that She has given that refresh your soul and clear your mind.

The Power of the Ocean

July 21, 2013 by SpiritMedium Leave a Comment

Every aspect of the ocean not only offers a delight for the senses, but also teaches us valuable lessons for the growth of our own Spirit. There is a special kind of magic that comes from the ocean. Its powerful currents, magnificent creatures, and wondrous waters provide the rhythmic heartbeat of the Earth, insight with respect to the fluidity of life, and a cleansing energy that refreshes our Spirits to begin anew.

The sound of the ocean waves continuously rolling in and pulling back from the shore are soothing in their rhythm, like a mother’s heartbeat is to her children. It is a comforting and peaceful sound that can be mimicked within our own bodies when breathing deep in meditation. While breathing in deep through your nose and slowly releasing your breath through your nose or your mouth, listen to the sound of your breath. Physically feel the calming pulse of the ocean as it washes through your body in the form of your breath and envision the waves that match the cadence of your breathing. Becoming aware of the breath of life that flows through you synchronizes you with the positive, life-giving energies of the Earth and centers you in the moment. By giving yourself the gift of this meditation, you are allowing your Spirit to cleanse itself of negative or unwanted energies. Worries and concerns dissipate, opening your heart and mind to the receipt of welcoming and positive energies that provide your Spirit the freedom to follow its path to its true heart’s desires.

The creatures of the ocean teach us spiritual lessons about adaptability and fluidity with regard to the circumstances that we encounter in our lives. Oceanic creatures glide through water, a much heavier substance than air, with grace and ease. As humans on a spiritual journey, our lives on Earth are much like the denser water than the lighter air that we experience in Heaven. By learning to move with the currents of life and allowing our experiences to assist us with our goals, we are allowing ourselves to accept that all circumstances, whether negative or positive, are important to the development of our souls.

The dolphins of the seas take the lesson of adaptability and fluidity one step further by teaching us the importance of working and playing together. Establishing a balance within your own life, as well as within the relationships you have with others, directly addresses your own feelings of worthiness to receive, as well as give. Our lives aren’t meant to be one long road of unhappiness. The choices and decisions you make determine your destiny. External circumstances do occur; however, it is entirely up to you to decide how you are going to react and what actions you will take.

The wondrous waters of the ocean contains an element that truly cleanses our Spirit of any unwanted or negative energies. As we go throughout our days, we knowingly and unknowingly pick up energies from the people, objects and environment around us. The unpalatable waters of the ocean do not slake our thirst or cleanse our physical bodies without special treatment, but they do provide a beautiful cleansing of Spirit. In a way, it is as if the ocean collects all of our salty tears that we’ve cried and removes the sadness that pervades our souls from time to time. By immersing ourselves in the ocean, we can utilize its energies to wash away the disappointments of the past and bring forth new experiences. As the ocean draws the water back into itself, a new wave is there, ready to take its place. Each wave is different, too. Sometimes they are large and powerful while others are gentle swells that roll into the shore. It is the same with our life experiences where some new changes can alter the landscape of our lives while other transitions are smooth and gliding. We can learn to love and appreciate all of the waves in our lives through meaningful observation, which helps us to gauge the strength of the situations in our lives, as well as through the open acceptance of the inevitability of change that leads to growth.

Even if you do not have the opportunity to be near the ocean, you can always use your imagination to hear the sounds and feel the cleansing power of its waters. Seashells, saltwater fish, and images of the creatures of the sea are all wonderful representations of the ocean that you can place in your environment as a reminder of the lessons that Mother Nature teaches through the seas. Relax and enjoy Her gifts to you with gratitude and appreciation.

Namaste!

Meditating with Nature

June 9, 2013 by SpiritMedium Leave a Comment

Spending time in nature is a wonderful way to rejuvenate your Spirit. It is a great way to reconnect with the Spirit that resides within us as the fresh air, birds, animals, plants, flowers and trees provide us with a panorama of natural beauty that speaks to our souls.

Parks are wonderful places to commune with nature. These places have been set aside to preserve and protect the natural habitats of the earth. When we visit them, we are there not only to enjoy them, but also to preserve the flora and fauna that reside there by respecting the land and all of its creatures that dwell there.

When you go to a park or wildlife preserve to commune with nature, take along your binoculars to get a good look at the birds, plants and animals that you discover along your path.

To see the animals, the best time to visit is near dawn or dusk, as this is when they come out to forage for food. Most of all, respect their homes and habitats by simply being an observer. Do not destroy or disturb their environment or leave litter behind. I am sure you would not appreciate it if someone came to your house and trashed it or left litter on the floor. We can all be good citizens of this earth by respecting nature and our environment. Be there to enjoy the splendor of the earth and to breathe in the peace that comes from observing nature’s simplicity, beauty and innocence. It is a gift worth preserving. For those of you who are already actively respecting and maintaining the environment in big and small ways, know that Mother Nature sends you her gratitude.

Nature can be enjoyed at any time. You don’t need to be at a park to hear the birds or to walk barefoot in the grass. Nature is all around us, every day.

Namaste! (The Spirit within me honors the Spirit within you!)
