This post, “The Power of Initials in Twin Soul Afterlife Communication” was inspired by a recent encounter I had with Robin’s initials. The manifestation of his initials served as confirmation for a question I asked, and twin soul synchronicity. It was very heart-touching. I hope you will enjoy my story!
After-Death Communication in Portugal
Hello! I have not written for a long time, and it is so nice to be back! Since I last wrote in May of 2022, my husband and I moved to northern Portugal, near Porto. So, here is a brief update for you.
The journey began in 2022 after the death of my father-in-law. With his passing, we no longer saw a need to remain living in the United States. It has been a life-long dream of mine to live in another country and we were finally in the position to be able to fulfill it.
To ensure we were making a good decision about where to move, my husband and I spent three months in Porto, Portugal during the fall of 2022. This gave us a chance to see how we felt about the country. We discovered what we liked and did not like and weighed the pros and cons.
After exploring several beautiful cities during this three-month period, such as Braga and Aveiro, we decided that we liked it enough to move here. At that point, we began to gather the documents needed to apply for our visa.
In March 2023, we had our visa appointment in Washington, D.C. where we submitted our paperwork. Everything went smoothly and we received our visa in April 2023. We sold our car and house in Florida and arrived here again in Portugal in June.
A few weeks ago, we had our immigration appointment to submit documents for our residency permit. So, we are official, legal residents of Portugal now. I am really enjoying it and gradually acclimating to our new life here.
Paisley and Poppies in Portugal: Asking for a Sign
During this long process of moving to Portugal, which was like a full-time job, I continued to stay connected to Robin’s spirit and kept communication with him open.
Recently, on July 31, 2023, I asked Robin for a sign that he would still wait for me. It was something on my mind because over 11 years have passed since he died. Since I have been so busy here on the earth plane, it’s nice to have the reassurance from him that our connection is strong and that he will be there to greet me when my time comes to pass away.
I previously wrote about this experience of deceased loved ones waiting for their living loved ones in this post, “Will You Wait for Me?”
In this post, I also wrote about a spontaneous dream visit I had with Robin in 2012 where I asked if he would wait for me.
To come up with a sign I could ask him for, I researched gemstones on google. It is not always easy to know what to ask for, for a sign, but on this day, the word “gemstones” popped into my head.
Here is the information I saw on Google.
I saw the blue topaz, so this made me think to ask for “topaz” as a sign. I know blue was his favorite color, he wore blue lenses often and blue topaz is one of the birthstones for his birth month of December.
This is what I wrote in my journal:
Dear Beloved Robin,
…I also have a question. Robin, will you still wait for me? I mean, will you wait for me to cross over into the spirit world after I die physically and be with me in spirit?
I ask for the sign of: Topaz.
Any color of topaz is ok. Please make it so clear I cannot mistake it, such as seeing it or hearing it mentioned. This or something better or easier for you is ok. I don’t always know what to ask for, for signs so I will just go with this. Please let me know.
Love,
Christina
In the article, How to Ask the Universe for a Sign, Gabby Bernstein addresses this very issue of feeling confused about how to ask for a sign. It was very helpful for me and maybe it will give you some good ideas as well.
I like to type or write out my requests for signs in my journal. It makes me feel like I am sending out a very sincere and clear message that I wish to communicate with Robin’s spirit and the Universe. If or when I receive my sign, I can always go back to what I wrote and see if I get any further insights into the message I receive. I can see how close the sign is to what I originally asked for. Also, there is never any second-guessing as to what I asked for since it is there in writing. I would highly recommend this journaling practice in terms of afterlife communication.
RG Gemstones and Jewels: The Sign is Your Sign
A couple of days after I asked for this sign,on August 2nd, my husband and I went shopping in a city where I had a massage therapy appointment. Moving to a new country is very stressful and my shoulders have been tight and sore due to lifting heavy boxes, luggage and assembling my IKEA furniture 😊! So, I needed some pampering.
We had some extra time after my appointment, so we walked around exploring a bit. I had never been to this part of the city, and everything was new to me. As I walked, I noticed a store that really got my attention. It was a jewelry store. But not just any jewelry store. The name of the store is RG Jewels! Here is a picture of the sign from the jewelry store in Portugal:
I softly smiled and was transfixed on the store sign for several moments. This store came as a complete surprise to me because I did not know it even existed given that I have just moved here to Portugal.
There were Robin’s initials right in front of me. This was very significant to me. Over the years of communication with him, his initials have been very important in our connection and have served as signs of his presence.
In this post, I wrote about how I found his “RG” initials on 2 mugs in 2012 in a thrift store while the song “Emotion” was playing. I still have the mugs on his altar to this very day. So, his initials are a powerful sign of his presence for me.
I was and am so amazed that I researched gemstones, asked for the sign of topaz, and then Robin’s initials manifested in connection with a jewelry store selling gemstones just a couple of days after I requested the sign. This sense of amazement is what makes afterlife communication so life changing.
I saw a gemstone in the store window that may have been golden topaz. I’m not sure. The store window was filled with jewelry of various gemstones. Even though I am not sure I got the exact gemstone I asked for, I think that this jewelry store sign, with his exact initials, is something better or perhaps easier for him than the topaz I suggested as a sign. I accept the sign as my sign, and a sign of Robin’s presence, because it is so specific and personal to him and me. The store sign is like a mirror for the “RG” mugs I have kept on his altar for years.
It is important to be flexible in afterlife communication, especially when asking for specific signs. To address this issue, Faye Schindelka recommends the following approach in “A Course in After Death Communication,” (2012). Unfortunately, the booklet is no longer available online, so I cannot link to it:
“Remain open to receiving your requested sign and trust that your deceased loved one will work overtime to see that you receive it. While you have asked for a specific sign, keep in mind that it may manifest in a slightly different way than what you might have expected. This openness is important, because the moment we become attached to a particular way that something ‘should’ be, we often contract our energy and thus close ourselves off to the receiving of it.”
Due to this experience, I feel I have received the confirmation that he will still wait for me. That brings me happiness and is a relief. After everything we have shared while I have been on earth and he is in Spirit, I really want to see him and spend time with his spirit to debrief and learn about the full measure of our spiritual connection. This was a very powerful answer to my question, and I feel like the Universe was guiding me. It is my opinion that the Universe is always guiding us. We just need to have awareness and have an open heart to receive guidance.
Initials and Twin Soul Connections
In the excellent article, “18 Powerful Twin Flame Synchronicities You’ll Experience,” by Tina Fey, number four on her list has to do with seeing your twin flame’s name or initials everywhere.
She states that:
“Your twin flame’s name will be one of the most important words to your spirit.”
This is very true for me as I have a very strong connection with Robin’s name and initials since 2012, the year that he died. I can say with certainty that I have unexpectedly experienced seeing Robin’s name and initials over the years in very tangible, synchronistic ways that I have been able to buy or photograph. It is quite magical. It’s this type of magic that the twin soul connection brings and what makes life beautiful and fulfilling.
It’s all about what is meaningful to you in terms of what is presenting itself to you. It may not be meaningful to someone else. Another person may brush it off as mere coincidence. Some people even go as far as ridiculing signs.
However, once you know you have a strong connection with your twin, you come to understand that this is one of the most common ways communications occur: through synchronicity. To dismiss it could potentially create a missed opportunity for bonding between twins. Therefore, I honor the synchronicity and signs I receive, especially if I have just asked Robin’s spirit a question. I asked a question, and I got an answer. I cherish that, respect that and always say “thank you”.
So, if you are experiencing a twin flame connection, be on the lookout for the name or initials of your twin showing up in various ways. Try to be open and flexible in terms of how the sign may present itself. It is a very meaningful experience to have your twin show up in this way and one which I feel very strongly in my heart.
In fact, I believe one reason the names and initials present themselves is because of the unbreakable connection of hearts. This is especially powerful when one twin is deceased. Through the heart bond, we are drawn to things in the physical world which connect us right back to and remind us of our twin soul.
Thank you for reading! I hope you found something meaningful in this post.
Love,
