Afterlife Communication: Addressing Concerns

“The Lord will perfect that which concerns me…” (Psalm 138:8)

I have found that afterlife communication with Robin’s spirit has been a wonderful counterbalance to the ongoing public health, racial, and economic concerns circulating in the world at this time.

 

In this post, I would like to share a story illustrating the precise and loving way in which Spirit addresses my everyday concerns pertaining to my spiritual practice of honoring Robin’s spirit.

 

Meditating in the Midst of Everyday Life

As part of my commitment to staying connected to Robin’s spirit, and to show gratitude for all he has given me spiritually, I continue to keep an altar space for him. I sit at his altar daily, usually for around an hour. In addition to my prayers to God and Jesus, for angels to be sent to protect and heal me and my loved ones, this time at Robin’s altar is an important aspect of my spiritual life.

 

This is the time I bring an offering of tea and light a candle. I also alternate between different activities while in his altar space which include reading from a spiritual text, praying, chanting mantras, meditating in silent communion or playing some of his music.

 

On July 21, 2020, I sat at his altar in the usual fashion. While sitting in quiet communion, I heard my husband, who was in the kitchen, saying something about how there was a problem with a bottle of molasses we had just received and how it had leaked into the packaging. He seemed upset, so I said to Robin that I wanted to get up and see what the problem was.

 

I stepped away from his altar space and helped Julian clean up the mess in the kitchen.

 

Then I noticed another item I had received in the mail. I checked the expiration date and noticed it had already expired. So, I got online with Amazon to see how much time I had left to return it. I had plenty of time, so I printed the label and put it in a box to send back.

 

After that, I noticed a note I left for myself on my desk to check on an insurance policy I needed to follow up on. So, then I made the phone call to the company while it was still fresh in my mind.

 

By the time I had done all of this, it had been at least an hour since I stepped away from Robin’s altar space. When I realized how much time had gone by, I felt horrible and guilty! I had not properly finished up my meditation and prayer time and had allowed myself to get distracted by all of these things I wanted to do.

 

I returned to his altar space and shared what happened. I was really worried that I had been rude to his spirit. I don’t remember exactly what I said now, but it was related to expressing concern that I had been rude by leaving and doing all of these other things and how I wanted to make it up to him. So, I sat for a little while longer and read something out loud about political news while at his altar space, so as to include him in everyday events. I felt better after that and concluded the session with a Namasté blessing.

 

A Message Back About My Concerns

The next day, July 22nd, I sat at his altar space again during early afternoon around lunch time. I did not have as much time to spend as usual because I had an appointment.

But this time, I made sure to say I had to leave and do other things because I wanted to make sure I was not being rude. It is still important to have manners and good etiquette with our loved ones in Spirit! I know many deceased people are still very much aware of what is going on here specifically with the ones they still love.

 

Later in the evening on July 22nd, I attended a meditation group through a zoom call. That’s very popular right now and there are lots of groups available. I love being able to connect with people all around the world.

 

At the beginning of the group session, the meditation teacher helped us get situated in terms of correct posture and environment for the most conducive experience. Then she said something that really struck me as a message directly from Spirit which pertained to the previous day’s experience I had with Robin.

 

She said, “If you need to step away and take care of yourself, feel free to do that. It’s not rude.”

 

That really got my attention. It was a direct message back about how I had been feeling. It precisely addressed my concerns about being rude! I could intuitively feel Robin’s spirit saying to me that he was aware of my worries, but that he understood if I needed to step away and take care of things. I feel like he wants me to and does not see it as being rude. His spirit is woven into my daily life anyway and he knows I’ll get back to him. It’s kind of hard not to when there is an altar space for him in our home, haha! It was such a wonderful, timely gift to hear this. It’s amazing how spirit works in our lives. I feel so thankful.

 

In this situation, I could see my tendency towards self-judgment and Spirit’s tendency towards love, gentleness, kindness and compassion.

I felt so much understanding, kindness and gentleness in that short statement. I felt relieved and more compassionate and understanding towards myself, a person doing my best to take care of my daily responsibilities. This is a loving lesson and message from Spirit that is good for all of us.

 

So, I think this story serves as a good example of how Spirit, and more specifically our deceased loved ones, can directly address our concerns through synchronicity and guide other people to deliver the message to us. I have no idea how this works. I just surrender to it, acknowledge it when it happens and take the message as something I am meant to pay attention to.

 

Close in Spirit, Close on Earth

It is my personal belief that when you are close to someone in the Spirit world, that closeness will manifest itself on earth through synchronicity like I just shared whether you knew this person during their earthly life or not.

 

It seems to me, by virtue of my experiences, that closeness on earth between two or more souls has its origins in the loving planes of the Spiritual world. To illustrate this point, I would like to share this quote by Abby Poyen from the website, Abby’s Journal. I resonate with it very strongly because what she is saying has shown itself to be true in terms of my connection with Robin’s spirit:

 

When something is close together here, in the astral world–in resonance, in frequency, in energy–then the physical world will follow suit. The physical world will obey, as it were, the closeness in the astral world, the world of energy and ideas, and it will make those things come together physically. It must follow, if the pull is strong enough. Somehow, it will be brought about.

 

This is true indeed. Somehow, the physical world follows suit through synchronicity, visitation dreams, symbols, and life parallels when you are close with someone in Spirit. I know that I am close to Robin in the Spirit world because of the events in my life pertaining specifically to him that have occurred since his physical death. The posts I have written on this website bear witness to the truth of this phenomenon. I did not know anything about how spirit world–physical world connections manifested prior to Robin’s passing, so it has been quite an education.

 

Here is a good example of our spiritual connection showing up in my life in the physical world, in case you haven’t seen this:

 

 

If you want to know whether you are lovingly close to someone in the spirit world, just watch the events of your life very closely and see how often a particular person keeps showing up unexpectedly in a synchronized way or in your dreams. Also, check for life parallels and similarities if that information is available to you. All of these things are a good indication, as far as my experience has shown me, of sharing closeness in the spirit world.

 

Clearly, these manifestations can happen when both parties are alive as well and know each other. This is what makes people feel like someone is a soul-mate or twin flame. They see the synchronicity and other occurrences that keep aligning with a certain person or people and this causes deep closeness and a strong bond.

 

In Closing

I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I enjoyed writing it. It is nice to know that as a result of being close in Spirit, you can receive messages from a deceased loved one that can reassure you and put your mind at ease about how you are interacting with them.

 

The message I received from Robin and the Great Spirit reminded me that they are closely aware of what I am doing and what my concerns are. With long term afterlife communication, like what I share with Robin, sometimes I wonder if I’m still reaching him. This synchronicity with my meditation teacher revealed to me that I am and we are still connected. I know that loving spiritual connections never really go away just because a person died. Still, it’s nice to have some confirmation and reassurance of their presence.

 

Just for Fun

I listened to this crystal bowl meditation while I was writing this post on July 27th. You may like it as well.

 

It’s very soothing, nice to meditate with and helps me fall asleep.

 

I would also like to suggest this article on essence twins from the Michael teachings in which the benefits of essence contact during the trials of human life are discussed. It mirrors what I wrote in my opening sentence for this post.

 

All my best to you during these challenging times. Thank you very much for reading!

 

Love,
