Connecting With Loved Ones

Your Bridge to Heaven

Losing someone dear to us can be one the most painful experiences that we encounter on this planet. It is comforting to contemplate the idea that “we don’t die,” and from many years of work in this field, I have come to understand that it’s true—we really don’t die, we simply change form, transform. It is easy to see why the butterfly, found in the literature and art of many cultures, is a universal symbol of death, rebirth & transformation.

The earthbound caterpillar prepares for “death” by creating a chrysalis … all vestiges of the caterpillar melt into liquid and then a butterfly forms. We are like that caterpillar. When a person’s soul emerges into the spirit world after the death, it is like the butterfly emerging from her chrysalis.

Ancestors reaching back to dusty prehistory, Indigenous people and some modern-day cultures honor those departed as still living, reachable and an integral part of daily life. In my sessions, souls often communicate loving messages & helpful guidance to my clients. Souls seem to really appreciate all the prayers and loving thoughts, it is all truly helpful for them in the Afterlife. A major issue that souls return to communicate is “unfinished business” … many souls apologize for past injustices.

Everyone has access to communicate with our loved ones and animals after their physical death—it is our birthright. The doorway between the worlds requires a key to open it.

That key is love.

Because the spirits’ subtle vibration or resonance is finer and higher than here on the Earth plane, it is more effective to meet your “people in spirit” half way on the bridge to Heaven. Connecting with the subtle realms is done through the heart, with reverence and earnest intention.

Here are a few suggestions for communicating with loved ones:

• Create an altar or central focus place.  This could include an image of them, a candle, objects that were important to them and their ashes if you have them. 

• Make a gesture or offering daily. It is customary to leave flowers, fruit, water and incense like frankincense. This creates a portal or doorway.

• Intention & invitation. “I intend to communicate with my father, Dad please visit me.” We have free will and there is something energetic that lines up when we make a declaration of intention & earnest invitation. 

• There is no way to connect from your logical mind, so a loving state of consciousness is a primary step. Imagining that person or animal with unconditional love, will create an elevated state of consciousness.

• Communication assignment. For 30-days dialogue with your loved one. Write to them on the right side of an unlined journal with your right hand and draw their response on the left side with your left hand.
