My mom handed me a fountain this morning.  She was blissfully happy, and so excited to gift it to me.  She then put her arm around me, put her head on my shoulder and told me that I’m never alone, and she is so proud of me.  The then she began walking up a mountain, turning around and smiling and beckoning me towards her.  The feeling was, come up here with me, where it is blissful, remember that from this higher perspective it is easy to see the spiritual truth that there are no problems, the world makes perfect sense in a spiritual way.

My dad then came in, and the rest of my departed loved ones, my grandmothers, my great aunt, and my stepfather.  They all started laughing and smiling and doing a cute little Rockettes style kicking dance for me.  The message here was, have fun, life is good, we are all always here to remind you to keep things light and remember that life is about joy and fun!

We are meant to stay connected with our loved ones who’ve passed over.  They want us to remember them, to feel them, and to connect with them frequently.  As I’m writing this, it’s Halloween, a full moon, and my mom’s birthday.  I meditated as I usually do in the morning and was able to have a powerful connection with my mom.

After the meditation, I looked up the spiritual meaning of the fountain that my mom gave me and found out that it is represents eternity, and the mystical realms.  This to me represents a validation that the experience I just had with my mom and loved ones was true and real, and it helps me trust my intuitive guidance for the future.

This time of year has always felt extra magical to me.  The veil between dimensions thin around this time of year, and it allows us to connect to our loved ones more easily.  The power of the full moon supercharges this connection, and on special days, like a birthday, our loved ones sometimes try even harder to connect with us.

I’ve been feeling this energy building.  This feeling of a connection to something bigger, and more magical than we can understand from the earth realm. Our intuition heightens this time of year, and the mystical world feels closer, and more real.

I speak with many clients who have lost loved ones, and there is a wide range of how people deal with death, and their deceased loved ones.  Many people that I work with tend to suppress their grief, not talk about their dead people with anyone, and try to put it in a compartment somewhere, lock it up and throw away the key.

As we talk through it, they generally know they do that because they are scared of being overwhelmed by the feeling.  If they open the box of grief it might take them over, like a grief tsunami.  Often, others in their life are dealing with it in the same way, so they have had no examples of other ways to process their feelings.

As we work through this, and they are given permission to reconnect with their loved ones, it has always only been helpful.  Their departed loved ones have just been patiently waiting for them to unlock their emotions and release them so that they can be more available to connect with them.

We are not able to connect as easily with the other side when we are not acknowledging our grief, or stuck in the sadness, anger and feeling of separation this can bring.  They are in a super high frequency, and in order to feel and hear them, we need to be able to process through our own feelings and bring our vibration up closer to their level.

Some ways to keep your connection to your loved ones on the other side, that have worked for me and others I know are:

  1. Create You Own Philosophy of Life and Death:

This is a prerequisite. I feel it’s required by everyone, and so helpful before you lose someone, because everyone does at some point, and you will too.

Investigate a theory of life and death that makes sense to you to help you move through the grieving process more easily.  Read books, go to church, talk to people you admire that feel spiritually connected.

For example, my personal philosophy is that we all chose this lifetime before we incarnated in order to learn and grow.  We also don’t leave the planet without on some level being ready for it.  

Energy never dies, it only changes form, so we will always remain connected to those we love, whatever dimension we are in.

  1. Release the Grief:

Write a letter to them, releasing your anger, your hurt, your guilt, your sadness, etc. Tell them goodbye.

Release the energy of the pain by reading it aloud, then burning it or sending it away in a body of water.

  1. Write a Gratitude Letter:

Only after you have released the pain, will you be able to write a gratitude letter more easily and clearly.

Let them know all you are grateful for from the relationship.  This also helps increase your vibration in preparation to connect with them more easily.

  1. Practice Connecting:

You can connect with them whenever you want.  It can help to start in a meditation.

Practice quieting your mind first, through breath, mantra, or guided meditation.

Conjure up a happy memory of your loved one.

Ask them to connect with you, and just take note of what you see and feel.

  1. Keep the Memory Alive:

In my family, we text or call each other about signs from our loved ones, often!

We need to stay aware of the signs of connection in our own lives and talk about them with the others in our lives that have
also been impacted!  

Our departed loved ones love this, and it helps those of us on earth so much as well!

Grief is hard, and real.  It’s so important to feel and move through it.  It can be easier if we allow the energy of our departed loved ones to connect with us, to help heal us, and to inspire us to feel even a tiny bit of the blissful feeling they feel all the time.
