Hey there, everyone.

00:00:01.705 --> 00:00:04.171
Welcome back to another episode.

00:00:04.171 --> 00:00:11.500
Thanks again for being a premium subscriber, for supporting the podcast not just with your listening, but also with your dollars.

00:00:11.500 --> 00:00:13.205
I really appreciate it.

00:00:13.484 --> 00:00:19.327
And today I want to talk with you about a really interesting question I got from a listener.

00:00:19.327 --> 00:00:24.393
She said one thing that's always puzzled me is why do some lucky people get to see and hear their loved ones?

00:00:24.393 --> 00:00:33.024
I've heard of council people seeing their loved ones as solid as a live person and speaking, but mediums say that we communicate telepathically in the afterlife.

00:00:33.024 --> 00:00:39.435
Maybe some people can manifest their voice, their body, back if strong enough, and she'd like to know any thoughts on that.

00:00:39.435 --> 00:00:45.552
So this is a great question, of course, that we wonder.

00:00:45.552 --> 00:00:54.604
Why is it that, again, some people seem to get better communications than we do, seeing people even get to see their loved one or actually feel them physically?

00:00:55.326 --> 00:00:57.776
I want to start by saying that that's very rare.

00:00:57.776 --> 00:01:09.784
While it's certainly not impossible, I believe it has happened it's pretty rare and I think there's probably several good reasons why it is rare, and we're going to go through some of those as we're going through the podcast today.

00:01:09.784 --> 00:01:14.120
So first of all, let's talk about the elephant in the room.

00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.177
Some people do get these experiences and some of us wish we could have them.

00:01:18.177 --> 00:01:29.811
Some people have had transformative, you know, vivid interactions, very vivid dreams, or it actually even physical encounters, but some of us only get like gentle nudges.

00:01:29.811 --> 00:01:40.155
We get subtle signs, we might get an inexplicable feeling of presence, we might get synchronicities, we may feel like we're not getting something as strong as other people do.

00:01:40.155 --> 00:01:50.903
So if you haven't had the encounter that you're looking for, don't think it's because you're doing something wrong and everybody else is having to know what loved ones come and visit, sit down and talk with them.

00:01:50.903 --> 00:01:53.253
As I said, those encounters are pretty rare.

00:01:53.253 --> 00:01:57.888
It typically doesn't come across as more of something that's more subtle.

00:01:57.888 --> 00:02:05.960
So let's talk about some of the reasons why we may not get the communications that we like and why we don't get communications all the time.

00:02:07.024 --> 00:02:13.310
One of the concepts that I think is important, that I don't think it's addressed often enough, is the idea of permission.

00:02:13.310 --> 00:02:25.930
I've heard some people in the afterlife say that they are people who have been to the afterlife say that they have to have permission to interact with us in our lives and think about the Star Trek Prime Directive.

00:02:25.930 --> 00:02:30.014
And the Star Trek Prime Directive says that you should be no interference.

00:02:30.014 --> 00:02:41.068
There should be no interference with a natural development of civilizations, and I think, similarly, when we go into spirit, people on the other side can't interfere with our free will too much.

00:02:41.068 --> 00:03:01.324
We're not supposed to be making this connection all the time, and while the people on the other side may be eager to interact with us and may be eager to give us more assurance, there may be some rules that are there that we don't understand while we're here, maybe rules or ethical considerations that govern how they can interact with us.

00:03:03.409 --> 00:03:08.266
Another thing that I think we need to think about is the conditions were quiet for communication.

00:03:08.266 --> 00:03:18.082
Have you worked on the Soul Phone for several years now, working on a device that's highly sensitive, that's highly specialized for having spirit communication?

00:03:18.082 --> 00:03:22.096
I can tell you it's not as easy as we might think it is.

00:03:22.096 --> 00:03:33.527
So there are actually conditions physical conditions that can affect the way that our communications go, as well as emotional and our state of mind conditions.

00:03:33.527 --> 00:03:47.937
So some people say that, for example, we get more communications early in the morning, like two, three in the morning and some people say that's because people's minds are more quiet at that time that people can come through.

00:03:47.937 --> 00:03:52.353
I've heard that being around a body of water can enhance spirit communications.

00:03:52.353 --> 00:03:59.257
So, just like you think about a radio signal, it can travel farther under certain atmospheric conditions.

00:03:59.257 --> 00:04:07.062
I think spirit communications do require conditions as well and there can be quote unquote blocks to spirit communication.

00:04:07.604 --> 00:04:14.227
Some people I've heard say you know, your loved one can't get through to you because your grief is too deep.

00:04:14.227 --> 00:04:25.362
And I have a friend who describes it as like if your, your grief is like a, a vat of Crisco and a feather were to fall down and sit on that vat of Crisco, the feather couldn't get through, as the Crisco is solid.

00:04:25.362 --> 00:04:30.918
But if you heated it up by, say, raising your vibrations, then the feather could get through and get down to you.

00:04:30.918 --> 00:04:37.920
So people sometimes feel guilty or feel badly because it's like, well, I'm blocking the communication from my loved one.

00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.040
But there's also a flip side of that.

00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:47.639
I've heard people say that because they were so desperate and they cried out for communication that they got it.

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:54.158
So I think it's kind of like the Rolling Stones says we don't always get what we want, but we get what we need.

00:04:54.158 --> 00:04:55.658
And I know for myself.

00:04:55.658 --> 00:05:01.771
Sometimes, as I do the podcast, I interview people who have these great you know fantastic really wild communications.

00:05:01.771 --> 00:05:03.252
I would get jealous of them.

00:05:03.252 --> 00:05:18.860
And I finally had to realize that the communication that I get as, I think, the one that's right for me at the time, this idea that I talked about earlier about permission, leads me to talk about something that we call the veil.

00:05:19.574 --> 00:05:28.862
And the veil is that thing or that principle that separates our physical reality from the spiritual realm, and it's not just an accident.

00:05:28.862 --> 00:05:30.024
I don't believe it was.

00:05:30.024 --> 00:05:31.514
It's in place by accident.

00:05:31.514 --> 00:05:35.341
I think it's actually a feature, it's something that we agreed to when we come here.

00:05:35.341 --> 00:05:50.302
Christian Somburg describes it as when he came into the body, they put the veil over him or they put the veil on him, and this veil allows us to focus on our current earthly experiences, the lessons that we're here to learn, the growth that we're meant to have.

00:05:50.302 --> 00:06:00.076
So imagine you're trying to live your life here where you're getting a constant stream of text messages, say, from the afterlife, and all you were and you kept focusing on the afterlife.

00:06:00.076 --> 00:06:10.086
It wouldn't allow you to have the richness of the experience of living on earth and we have the reality or the total submersion that we have when we were here on earth.

00:06:10.086 --> 00:06:16.521
So it might become overwhelming and distracting if our loved ones were constantly dropping in on us and talking to us all the time.

00:06:16.521 --> 00:06:19.944
So I believe that this veil is there by design.

00:06:19.944 --> 00:06:23.463
Now, sometimes we can see through the veil.

00:06:23.463 --> 00:06:24.846
Sometimes it's thinner than others.

00:06:24.846 --> 00:06:30.521
Some people are better at communicating across the veil than others, but I believe that the veil is there for a reason.

00:06:32.197 --> 00:06:38.199
I just want to talk about the way that our communications with our loved ones can actually change over time.

00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:42.245
This is something I've observed with myself, with my daughter Shayna being in spirit.

00:06:42.245 --> 00:06:46.384
I think the dream visits are not as many as they used to be.

00:06:46.384 --> 00:06:52.127
The signs I'm not going to say they're not as many as they used to be, but maybe they're lesser.

00:06:52.855 --> 00:06:57.065
But I remember talking to someone on my podcast that I interviewed a woman named Louise Hamlin.

00:06:57.065 --> 00:07:01.846
Her husband had communicated to her and to her friends through WhatsApp.

00:07:01.846 --> 00:07:03.372
It was really wild.

00:07:03.372 --> 00:07:04.495
She was getting these WhatsApp messages.

00:07:04.495 --> 00:07:07.084
Her husband was sending her these really wild signs.

00:07:07.084 --> 00:07:11.245
If you want to look up the episode, you can listen to the rest of it.

00:07:11.245 --> 00:07:14.663
But as I was talking to her, I said we'll have the signs dropped off.

00:07:14.663 --> 00:07:16.641
She said yeah, they actually have.

00:07:16.641 --> 00:07:19.721
We were kind of podring why that might be.

00:07:19.721 --> 00:07:31.346
What hit me was that I think, again, going back to we get what we need, that we may not need that physical proof as much as our relationship with our loved one evolves.

00:07:31.346 --> 00:07:38.141
As I said this to her, she said I do feel my husband's presence more now than I did when I was getting the physical signs.

00:07:38.141 --> 00:07:40.641
She even gave an example of when she was driving.

00:07:40.641 --> 00:07:43.086
She said he would always give her a hard time about her driving.

00:07:43.086 --> 00:07:46.805
She said sometimes she almost felt like he was taking over as she was driving.

00:07:46.805 --> 00:07:56.504
I think, as our relationship with our loved one evolves and we start to maybe let go of that physical a little bit, that we don't need those physical signs as much.

00:07:58.875 --> 00:08:04.098
The other thing I want to talk to you about is the various types of communications we get from the afterlife.

00:08:04.098 --> 00:08:06.702
We seem to value some more than others.

00:08:06.702 --> 00:08:13.581
Of course we might think we want to see our loved one, but think about how much fear that might cause you if you actually did.

00:08:13.581 --> 00:08:35.163
And ironically, just this morning when I was working on this podcast but I wasn't thinking I was going to be doing this particular subject, but I was sitting in the hall, sitting in the hallway in the dark putting my shoes on and I heard a noise in one of the bedrooms and I thought what if that was, say, shayna coming through or one of my loved ones that was in the bedroom and I opened the door and I saw them?

00:08:35.163 --> 00:08:36.860
I would be terrified.

00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:40.102
So we have to be careful about what we wish for.

00:08:40.715 --> 00:08:46.240
So there are many different forms that spirit communication can take with us and I think we need to be open to all of them.

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:49.504
There can be dreams, and a lot of us really want that dream visit.

00:08:49.504 --> 00:08:53.302
I've heard so many people say to me I really wish I could get a dream visit.

00:08:53.302 --> 00:08:59.086
But there are also signs in the natural world, like coins and feathers, and birds and animal behavior.

00:08:59.086 --> 00:09:07.778
There's lots and lots of different signs, the synchronicities, the timing of things that happen, messages that we can get through the reputable mediums.

00:09:07.778 --> 00:09:19.277
So there's a whole various ways that our loved ones can communicate with us and sometimes I think we're missing those things because we're so focused on one particular type of communication that someone else might have gotten.

00:09:20.870 --> 00:09:28.515
So let's talk about what you can do to enhance your chances of getting more communications and getting more signs, and there are things that you can do.

00:09:28.515 --> 00:09:35.518
There are very practical steps Practicing mindfulness, trying to raise your spirit, to use that term.

00:09:35.518 --> 00:09:46.475
Practicing meditation can help you to tune in in these more subtle frequencies Because, again, often these things are subtle and we need to learn to quiet our minds to let them come through to us.

00:09:46.475 --> 00:09:51.278
Our loved ones, I do believe, speak to us a lot of times through our thoughts, but we miss them.

00:09:51.278 --> 00:09:55.039
We can explicitly ask for dream visits before we go to sleep.

00:09:55.039 --> 00:10:05.517
We can set appointments with our loved ones and say I'd like to have a dream visit with you and I'd like to remember by the way, I always add that I'd like to remember it that can actually help get results.

00:10:06.769 --> 00:10:15.000
Another thing extremely important is to express gratitude for the signs that you receive, to recognize the person that they gave you that sign.

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:26.417
Because, as I said earlier, I don't think this communication is as simple and straightforward as we might like to think it is and we think well, if they're not sending me signs, it must be because they don't care about me.

00:10:26.417 --> 00:10:35.277
It might be because it's very difficult and I think some people are more skilled at sending signs than others, and some people are more skilled at sending certain types of signs than others.

00:10:35.277 --> 00:10:39.559
So for further study on this, I recommend two things.

00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.698
One is the book Soul Smart by Suzanne Wilson.

00:10:42.698 --> 00:10:49.534
That's a great book that would teach you some practical ways to receive signs, also to recognize them.

00:10:49.534 --> 00:10:53.395
But also the book Hello from Heaven by Bill and Judy Guggenheim.

00:10:53.395 --> 00:10:57.995
It's a great book on knowing the various types of signs that there are out there.

00:10:58.629 --> 00:11:09.480
So in conclusion, I wanna say, as with everything, there's no one simple universal answer as to why some people get these extraordinary experiences and others don't.

00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:22.876
I've tried to highlight some reasons why I think it may be, but what's undeniable is the immense comfort and the ongoing connection that these interactions do offer us, especially as we're going through the rugged landscape of grief and loss.

00:11:22.876 --> 00:11:30.653
So learn to recognize the signs, learn the things that you can do to enhance your ability to receive the signs and be grateful for the ones that you get.

00:11:30.653 --> 00:11:33.518
So again, thank you for spending this time with me.

00:11:33.518 --> 00:11:38.511
