Tragedy? It's Not The End. Hope Beyond The Grave

There's lots of news around the world of tragedies and sad events where people's lives have been ended too soon.  I'm hoping you may take a moment to read these words and find comfort in them.  A few years ago, I, like most people, believed family and friends and loved ones when they pass away, rested in peace.  I did believe in an afterlife, but it was an afterlife that could not be contacted.  It was 'somewhere' out there. Heaven? Maybe. I'm not sure I thought their souls were at the grave or plaque. But I didn't really understand or believe anything about where they were.  

I was aware that there are people who claim to be able to talk to those who have passed away. There are various TV shows about it, and whilst some claim to be psychic, my understanding at that time was a skeptic's view: too hard to believe. 

But my opinion has changed because I have been presented with personal proof - that our loved ones are with us. When we need them or when they need to be there. Where are they? Where you need them to be. If it's beside you, then that's where they'll be, and you can verify this yourself. 

If you have suffered the loss of a loved one recently, if I can ask you to do this one quick exercise.  I don't want you to believe me or anyone else when it comes to contacting people in the afterlife.  I want you to trust yourself. 

I want you to sit quietly.  Where you won't be disturbed for a few minutes.  I want you to close your eyes and imagine the person you miss, the person close to you, who has passed away, is sitting beside you.  I want you to think about what you would like to say to them.  If you had another chance to say something to them.  Chances are, because they had been taken unexpectedly, there are things you would like to have said or done that you no longer feel you have the chance to say or do.

So this is your chance.  Imagine they are really beside you now, and you can say or do anything you wish.  Perhaps you would like to say how much you love them.  Perhaps you would like to give them a hug.  Perhaps you'd like to say sorry for saying things you didn't mean to say.  I want you to say these things now either out loud or in your mind or if you want to give them a hug then just pretend they're with you, and with your eyes closed just reach out and give them a hug. 

Now I want you to sit quietly and feel them around you.  Just give them a couple of minutes to be with you, to be near you. Disregard your mind thinking how silly this sounds.

Now I want you to ask them: "If you're really with me, tell me something to verify it". Trust the first thought, image, sound, or feeling that pops into your head, no matter how absurd or irrelevant to what you're currently thinking. Over the course of the next few hours or days, you will be presented with that occurrence - don't think it an odd coincidence. Accept it as verification of your experience. 

Often when people want verification that their family and loved ones are with them, they want dramatic evidence.  They want a definite sign.  They want the lights to turn on or turn off or a feather to appear, or a favourite song to come on the radio.  If you are with a psychic, then you'd want them to tell you what your passed loved one had for breakfast each morning to verify it. 

My approach is much more subtle than that.  And I find that for people who aren't naturally gifted at psychic awareness, when they're being contacted by family and friends on the other side, my understanding or my experience is that they get far more subtle messages.  

So think about the little thought image or feeling you got, and let that be verification.  If you're not sure, repeat the exercise.  You'll come to understand that family and friends who have passed away are not actually gone.  The evidence you're getting may very well be insufficient to impress anybody else close to you that this is real.  But this isn't for someone else.  Subtle words, feeling or images. The more you do this the more you will realise it's not an odd coincidence. They are verifications from your family and friends in the Afterlife. It's for you. It's not to prove to or impress someone else.  Take care - Phil G.
