Before we are born, we are boundless light energy.  We reside in the non-physical realm with our pals that know us and love us the most, and we start to talk about what incarnation will be like. We get to lay out the foundation and plan, and get a full overview of what our lessons will be like (and we do this in a place of great love and acceptance). 

 

But just before we come into our bodies and enter the physical/dense realm (Earth), this thing happens…and suddenly, a veil of forgetfulness comes down - and we forget all of the planning, because we are supposed to experience our lessons fresh and without identity. We want to not know the outcome, and have the opportunity to make our choices. 

 

The veil of forgetfulness does not come fully down on everyone.  This is why some people come remembering things that don’t make sense.  Some actually volunteer to learn about suffering, sacrifices, and the effects of it. This can in turn uplift certain individuals in physical form that these volunteers interact with, and bring a type of cleansing to them.  These are considered very difficult assignments on the other side, and are highly acknowledged.

​

The only reason that we are born, is to create experiences for the soul so that the experience you create in your life is the experience you bring over and will own when you cross over. People claim pain and suffering experienced during physical life may have been agreed upon before our journey here. Realizing that our trials and tribulations were agreed upon before coming here can be a liberating experience.  

​

Lean into this concept for just a while. What would it be like to live our lives from a soul perspective… from a “larger story” perspective?  Breathing into this idea, you might touch into the knowing that there really is more splendor to who we are.  That we are much more vast than what is apparent in this “little” life experience.  There are so many ways to tap into this larger story.

​

One of the trends we are currently seeing on this planet is the need to connect with source.  There is an energetic shift taking place on earth, and many more people than ever before are seeking answers in the form of a cosmic download.  We are getting rewired in order to increase our capacity for understanding these phenomenon. As our capacity expands, so does our connection to source.  We long to increase our sense of connection to our inner self, the unseen part of us that makes us feel love, compassion, and peace.

​

You can recognize your loved one as a spiritual being, or as a human being. If you focus on the human, than you will yearn for the physical aspects like companionship, conversation, and the social connection that you shared. This causes pain that can interfere with your daily activity, and even how you interact with others. If you see them as a spiritual being, than you can better appreciate the time that they chose to spend with you. Rather than be angry or hurt that you didn’t get enough time with them, reflect on the joy that you did have, and honor that gift by allowing the soul to move on. 

 

It is important to remember that once the physical body has ceased to function, the soul or spirit that inhabited that body may still be present. We can assist that spirit to move on to the dimension that is right for their spiritual development. How we grieve, and the type of farewell ceremony that we design, can have an impact on their ability to move on.  This applies for beloved pets too!

​

For those that have lost a loved one -If the universe could write to a grieving parent about the loss of a child, this is what it might say:

 

"First, I would like to say that I am very sorry for your loss. It must be incredibly painful to lose someone you love so very much.  I am certain that you miss them very much. I hear you pray often, that he/she could be returned to you, so that your life could go back to the way it was before he/she was taken so early. But sadly, that is not how it will work out. Imagine, if you can, your loved one’s spirit hovering around you… crying when you cry, and shouting out in anger when you think you can’t take it any longer. See them as frustrated as you are, when you relive the events of the fateful days that you lost them. You must try to see them as a mirror of your emotional state, because that is what is happening. As long as you  hold these intense, unproductive emotions, your loved one will not be able to move on to his or her spiritual home. They will continue to live on the lower astral plane, because they are tied to your negative emotion.  I do not believe that you would want your beautiful loved one to suffer any longer. It is like holding on to the foot of a little bird… he wants to fly, but he is bound to you by your grief.  Thankfully, you have the power to release them any time and forgive all who were involved, and give them permission to fly to his or her highest potential. Send gratitude to them for even spending a short time with you in your life.  It was a gift that you will treasure for all time. You will meet them again some day.   Do not let this experience rob you of the rest of your beautiful life.  You have so much more to do while you are here in this form, in order to learn, and in order to teach.  Sincerely, the universe."

So much depends on our experiences of sadness, loss and hardship for ourselves or for others. The to deter one’s self from sadness and grief, is to use it as motivation, and to create a deeper sense of purpose.  Translate those feelings into enthusiasm and determination. If the one suffering can see you, and you are determined, and full of hope – this can become contagious. If the loved one has passed, you must remember that they may not be at peace on the other side until your disposition changes to a more positive one.  Sadness and grief are natural human responses, but, if your focus remains regarding the loved one that you have lost or is experiencing hardship, the experience is less likely to lead to despair. In costrast, if the focus while grieving is focused on yourself – “what am I going to do now? How can I go on like this?” – then, there is a greater danger of going down the road of despair and depression. So again, so much depends on how we respond to our experiences of loss, sadness, and hardship.
