After Death Communication: Continuing Your Relationships

After Death Communication: Continuing Your Relationships

by | Jul 12, 2019 | General Communications, Synchronicity

I understand that not everyone reading this blog has experienced an afterlife twin soul connection. So, I like to write about afterlife communication in a general way too so more people can benefit and relate.

The way I communicate with Robin falls under the larger umbrella of afterlife communication, so I don’t feel limited to talking about this only from the perspective of twin souls experiencing a cross-dimensional connection.

Closure? Not Necessarily

I still do lots of research on afterlife communication to keep my skills sharp. I often find new and interesting articles.

Recently, I was inspired by this article called 16 Tips for Continuing Bonds with People We’ve Lost. The website is called What’s Your Grief by Litsa Williams and Eleanor Haley.

I love this article because it is reinforcing what I’ve been sharing with Robin for 7 years. I actively practice many of their tips on a daily basis.

When someone dies physically, we don’t have to lose them completely by “moving on” or with so-called “closure.” I rejected that notion from the beginning of my connection with Robin, even though I did not have any models to follow.

Robin also rejected this notion of “closure” regarding Maurice’s death as you can see here on this episode of A Brush with Fame. He talks about this at 17:40 in to the video.

We can continue our relationship with our loved one after they die. Sometimes we might need a little help to know just how to do that.

Deceased Loved Ones You Did Not Meet

I took it one step further: we can build and create a loving, ongoing relationship with someone we did not know during our lifetimes if we can find each other after death and it is a mutual desire of both parties involved. Twin souls or soul mates who did not meet would fit perfectly within this category but this connection is not limited to this. It’s also possible to connect with an ancestor you did not know.

I always believed in life after death, long before Robin’s passing. What I share with Robin was much more complicated at first because we did not know each other. I had several extra hurdles to cross because almost all of the literature on afterlife communication focuses only on friends and family members that knew and loved each other.

They are basically saying that if you did not know the person, we don’t expect that you would be able to create a relationship with them after they die. However, this is extremely limiting in terms of who we are as spiritual beings. Do you really think that the only people you are connected to are the ones you know in this one lifetime? I know for a fact that for me, my connections go far beyond the very few people I am close to in this life. Thank goodness for that.

This article on grieving someone you didn’t know hits the nail on the head for me and is so incredibly validating.

It is a gem in a sea of literature that fails to acknowledge these real feelings very well. Most of the time, people are ridiculed for grieving for people they didn’t know, especially a celebrity. But, you can truly grieve the loss of what you never had the opportunity to have at all. The article explains this very well.

Lots of people grieve the deaths of famous people, and it’s not crazy. Are you grieving Robin Gibb’s death? How about Prince, David Bowie, or Robin Williams? Check out the comments on the link and you will see that a lot of people feel the same way and are quite open about it. I praise this website for normalizing this.

We Knew Each Other

But even for those who did know each other, the common directives given in the grief counseling literature in the past are about getting on with your life without including your loved one anymore.

Things are gradually and slowly changing. Continuing bonds theory suggests that we can continue our relationships with deceased loved ones and that it is a healthy, life-affirming way to grieve the loss of their physical presence.

It seems to me that afterlife communication and continuing a relationship with a loved one in spirit can help protect against complicated grief and bereavement.

It’s is my personal belief that the loss of a loved one is made even more deeply painful when a person has imposed upon them the belief that they should forget about or disengage from the ones they love. Society might give you a year to grieve, if that. Then after that, you are expected to “let go.”

You don’t have to. That depends on your relationship with your loved one. Are they visiting you  in your dreams? Do you notice objects being moved that is out of the ordinary and relevant to them? Then, maybe they don’t want you to “let go.” Perhaps, they still want to be included in your life.

This does not mean that you won’t still feel sadness and grief over the physical loss of a loved one. It’s just that perhaps these feelings will not be as debilitating as they could be if you open up a dialogue with them.

When it comes to afterlife communication, it is also important to be aware of the effect we could be having on loved ones in spirit. Cordula Feuerstack wrote about this in her article, Language of the Heart.

Love and gratitude are inviting to our loved ones while other emotions may repel them. The article does not specify, but I would think that anger, resentment, hostility, or anything that is the opposite of love and gratitude could repel loved ones in spirit. If it doesn’t repel them, then these types of thoughts and emotions could have a negative effect on their spiritual progress.

So, I think this is good to keep in mind. We may need to do some healing work before we are ready for deeper afterlife communication, which is fine. You have a right to that after losing someone you love. There is nothing wrong with seeking grief counseling if you think it may help. There is also grief yoga which some of you may be drawn to.

Connecting with Robin in Faith

In 2012, when Robin passed, I had not read any of this type of information yet. I just knew I had to contact him and I was going to try my best to reach him with love and respect. I had to try and I had enough faith in his ongoing existence to do so.  I didn’t say, “Well, he died, so I guess that’s it. I guess I should just move on and forget about him.”

How could I do that when he was popping up in my dreams?  Trust me, I wasn’t going to forget about him. He wouldn’t let me forget him. He was just getting started and I loved it! Not only that, I felt too pulled and connected to him to “move on.” This was the first time in my life that this happened to me concerning a person that had passed away.

I know this is completely different from losing a child, parent, spouse, family member or friend that you love and actually shared life with on a daily or frequent basis. I too have lost family members and friends that I knew and loved. So, I know the difference.

Robin’s death became more painful for me after I came to realize he had been here the whole time and I missed his entire life.

I never saw a concert. I experienced nothing of him but CD’s and songs on the radio. But, that’s as it was meant to be. I write this with pain in my heart. Twin souls that met after the death of their twin may be able to relate to this, but I don’t expect that everyone will be able to. If you can, you have a very empathic, sweet, and sensitive heart!

I once opened up to a woman about Robin who told me that I share an uncommon bond of the soul with him. It says here that it is rare for someone who was famous to visit a person they did not know, after their death.

So, it may be that people in general won’t be able to relate to what I’m writing about here because it is not common. But, I am writing for a specific audience that I believe does understand me because you have had your own experiences or are open to learning about afterlife communication and twin souls.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me!  I appreciate you. Maybe you see some of yourself in the things I write about.

Afterlife Communication: 3 Ways to Keep in Touch and Show your Love

I think a lot of us already know that we can keep in touch with our loved ones if we want to, but we are shamed in to not doing this because we think are supposed to “move on.” Well, it’s time to drop the guilt. We don’t have to live up to the expectations of a society that does not understand. Find the people who do understand, whether in person or online in a safe space. The What’s Your Grief website I have shared here is a great resource for this.

I have been inspired by this website to add 3 more suggestions to their list based on my personal experiences with Robin. Here they are:

1.Make a promise to your loved one…and keep it: A few months ago, I mentioned that I was going to have a colonoscopy. I promised Robin that I would because of his diagnosis with colorectal cancer. So, I did have my colonoscopy and had good results from it (one benign hyperplastic polyp removed, no sign of cancer). Why am I telling you this? For educational purposes. I know that pretty much no one wants to hear about this. But, the person that this blog is in honor of had health problems in this area, so I feel a responsibility to share what I know about this.

I don’t need another colonoscopy for 10 years unless of course I notice a health issue. It was a great relief to get it done and over with. I felt a strong bond with Robin after doing this and I’m so happy I kept my promise to him.

I know that what Robin went through with colon cancer must have been so scary for him. My heart still goes out to him strongly for what he went through. This is why I want to include this message about colon health here.

Did your loved one die of a particular illness? One way to connect with them is to take care of your health in that area. Did a close relative have breast cancer? Then one way to honor their memory could be to get regular mammograms. The promise can be anything you want, as long as you keep it.  They will know!

2.Read something out loud to them while holding their picture: This ties into talking to your loved one out loud. I’ve done this with Robin since 2012 and I don’t feel the least bit embarrassed about it. It’s a wonderful and private way to connect.

I couldn’t spend time with him between 1949 and 2012, so I’m spending time with him now. This is how I do it. Missing his life has actually made me more determined to be with him now.

It helps that I have an altar for him with his photo and other items I have shown you in pictures on this blog. I also have other pictures of him I hold while praying or talking with him.

A few weeks ago, I decided to read from a book out loud to him called, Emmanuel’s Book.

I have had this book for at least 20 years. I love the kind wisdom expressed throughout the book. I had not read it in a very long time and thought it would be perfect to share with Robin.

I browsed through different chapters, sharing and reading about ideas on illness and healing.

Then I came to Chapter 3 on Love. I read the first two beautiful pages of the chapter and then I came to page 49 which is important. I read this to Robin:

Love requires no practice. Love is. One cannot practice is-ness. One can, however, practice the decision to love. (1)

This passage made me feel thoughtful as it brought back a memory of something Robin was once quoted as saying. I knew he said something similar about love. Reading Emmanuel’s Book to him brought me right back to his words. I found his quote in this article by Rosanna Greenstreet from The Guardian. Here is her question and Robin’s response:

What does love feel like?
It’s like trying to describe electricity or the colour of air. It just “is”.

It was so amazing that reading this book for the first time in many years led to this synchronicity with Robin. I loved that Emmanuel felt the same way he did and that I could share that with him! It was a nice moment.

It’s fun to read to Robin and even more fun to receive an unexpected mirroring. So, this is something else you could try with your loved one. Find something to read that you think they would like, maybe one of their old favorite books and see what happens! Robin probably knew that “Love is” message was there before I even read it! Spirits know things we don’t or don’t remember and can guide us right into the synchronicity.

Here is the picture of Robin I was holding when I was reading to him this page about how” Love is.”

A few hours after I wrote this section, I got an email from https://www.enlightenedmessages.com/ with my enlightened message for my soul. The message was:

Say “YES” outloud to your life Christina.

I love how the words “out loud” showed up again synchronistically. There’s something to be said for speaking what’s in your heart out loud. When it comes to afterlife communication with Robin, it’s my way of setting up a direct line of communication with him so he knows I’m speaking with him specifically. I pray first, hold his picture, and then call his name, “Robin Hugh Gibb.” That way, he knows that what I’m about to share is for him.

3.Create something handmade for their altar: I like to light candles on Robin’s altar and leave him tea. So, I made special coasters to protect his altar table. I bought some Mother of Pearl tiles, some DIY coasters and silvery paint. I painted the coasters and then glued the tiles on. I thought these would look pretty and be nice a complement to the beachy area we live in.

I have shared in a previous post how I created a banner of Robin’s songs behind his altar, under the window sill. This was in my Valentine’s Day post. You can see the coaster I made for him pretty well on the picture I shared of his altar.

Another nice idea is to buy something handmade for an altar space that would have special meaning to your loved one.

One day in 2018, I went shopping with my husband to an arts show where people were selling handmade items like jewelry, wind chimes and other art work.

I was drawn to one lady’s booth in particular. She had these beautiful rugs. I spoke with her for a few moments and she told me that the rugs were all hand-loom woven on antique looms. If you scroll all the way down to the About section at end of this page, you can see pictures of the artists and looms. Really cool!

That caught my attention because Robin’s ancestors from Paisley, Scotland were hand-loom weavers.

So, even though it wasn’t a Paisley shawl, I thought it would be a good addition to Robin’s altar and a nice way to acknowledge his ancestry. I like to give him things that are meaningful. You can see a picture of the rug under Robin’s altar at the end of this post.

I worked hard on this post, so I hope you enjoyed my suggestions and references!

I also hope that you have the opportunity to come up with your own ways of keeping in close touch with your loved ones in spirit.

Twin Souls: Ancestral Spiritual Connection

Twin Souls: Ancestral Spiritual Connection

by | Jul 5, 2019 | General Communications, Top Posts, Twin Souls

I’m always sharing with you that I offer Robin tea and have lunch at his altar space to connect with him spiritually. So, I thought I would give you some information on the roots and foundation of this practice.

After reading many articles on how to connect with deceased loved ones and ancestors, I started bringing him tea offerings in 2012 as a way to bond with his spirit and allow him to get to know me.

This article, Five Ways to Honor Your Ancestors by Daniel Foor, is one of the best I have found in terms of discussing altar creation and making offerings to deceased ancestors (See section, Make Offerings to the Ancestors).

I highly recommend it. I found the suggestions easy to apply to my twin soul connection with Robin. It has informed me well over the years and taught me what I could do to create an everyday, ongoing relationship with him. It is possible to do this. If a particular spirit is your twin soul, then you may feel pulled to establish a relationship with them like I did with Robin.

Making tea offerings for Robin’s spirit on a regular basis keeps us close and connected. It’s one of my ways of sending him a message of love and support that is easy and affordable. Making this offering lets him know I am thinking of him and actively participating in our spiritual relationship.

It’s important to give your loved one something they would have liked and I was pretty sure he liked tea. Years ago, I read in my Bee Gees book that Robin and Dwina had garden tea parties at their home:

Robin and Dwina once again opened the grounds of their home, The Prebendal in Thame, for the Heritage Foundation with a summer garden tea party on July 17. (1)

In addition to offering him tea, I have also explored tea shops in countries that he loved. While sitting at his altar, I go online and research cute shops. I share with him what I find. Here is one on the Isle of Man. I wonder if Robin ever went there.

If it’s not too expensive, I might consider ordering some tea from Manx Tea and Coffee. It seems they ship all over the world. This is an example of a very special way to bond with a deceased loved one: connecting with a beloved country of origin through food or drink. Of course, you don’t have to do something like this, but if you can, I’m sure your loved one would deeply appreciate the effort you show to care for them in such a specific way.

By doing these things, I am treating Robin as a real and living spiritual being who is capable of being very well aware of what I’m offering him. Based on personal experience, I know that people in spirit are not sleeping all of the time. I believe there are times of rest, but Robin showed me that he is, at times, very active. He’s awake, alive, and alert in Spirit and he knows what’s going on with those closest to him.

Once you have the faith that a loved one in spirit can sense and connect with what you are doing for them, amazing responses back to you can happen. People in spirit are a lot smarter than people in physical bodies often give them credit for. Robin has shown himself to be highly intelligent and creative as a spirit and I have passed that information on to you in many of my blog posts.

Twin Soul Ancestor of Spirit

I consider Robin to be an ancestor of my spirit. A twin soul is a key member of your core soul family and one you are closest with in terms of spirit energy light. According to Sal Rachele in the book Soul Integration, twin flames (twin souls) are defined as:

The counterpart to your soul, that emerged from the oversoul at the same time as you did. The other part of your soul pair. Your “other whole” (as opposed to other half). (2)

A good metaphor for this is a pair of shoes. The right shoe is a whole shoe, but half of a pair that includes the left shoe. I’m a whole soul, but half of a pair that includes Robin. The larger soul family that we are a part of is also included.

It is possible to meet your counterpart after their physical death. That is what happened to me.

I bring him food and drink offerings the way that others would make offerings to deceased ancestors of their bloodline. However, it is my belief that ancestors are not blood relatives only. You could have soul family members that you have no blood relation to whatsoever. I’m certain that there are people adopted into wonderful families that would agree with this. What I am talking about here is the Spiritual DNA of our extended soul group. Astra Ferro writes about this here and gives a thorough and helpful explanation of this concept. It’s a good article.

This concept is also discussed here and encourages us to think in broader terms about who our ancestors are including and beyond bloodlines. In this article, the author is saying that our spirit ancestors have much to offer in the way of support for their relatives on Earth.

Due to my life experience, my point of view is that spirit is thicker than blood. Twin souls carry the same spirit energy. You can’t get much more familial or ancestral than that.

It is spirit energy in the form of light, vibration, colors and sound. It is very similar to the spiritual description of soul mates found here. (See entry for Courageous Souls by Robert Schwartz). Whereas soul mates have a very similar vibration, twin souls have a nearly identical vibration.

Benefits of Connections with Twin Soul Spirit Ancestors

Spiritual ancestral connections, such as twin soul connections, are often very beneficial for the one still on Earth. Some people assume that by communing with spirits, you are automatically communicating with an evil entity. That is not necessarily the case. I personally would not allow that in my life and I use spiritual protection daily. You have to test the spirit and see what kind of energy he or she is bringing into your life.

This website has very good variety in terms of prayers for protection from different faiths and traditions. I like to use a combination of different prayers to keep my requests for protection fresh and authentic. Prayers for protection are meant to be read from the heart and soul for a deeper effect.

So, what are some of the benefits? Since Robin’s passing, my relationship with God has grown much stronger. I am growing more conscious of my Oneness with God. I trust God and Spirit to be there for me much more than I used to. I have much more faith in the afterlife, where it is not just a belief, but a knowing.

I’ve studied and learned many prayers and mantras that I have offered him over the years for the healing and edification of his spirit. In the process, my spirit has been healed and strengthened as well.

Over the course of the seven years with Robin, I have lost weight that I have kept off. I’m not a vegetarian, but include lots of vegetables in my diet as inspired by his good example.

I also became a teetotaler. When I learned that Robin did not drink alcohol for a significant period in his life, I decided I wanted to be the same way. I didn’t want any substances to interfere with my connection with him.

All in all, he’s been a very positive influence. I’ve gone through a lot of purification with him being in my life.

All Robin has ever done is bring more love, intense learning, mystical beauty, and joy into my life. Through his presence, I have greater knowledge and awareness of the interactive nature of the unseen world around us. There is an unseen world filled with living spirits capable of engaging in intelligent, caring, 2-way communication with loved ones in the physical world.

It is a fact. I have seen it with my own eyes.

Part of my work with Paisley and Poppies is to show you that this is true. I have shared with you how over the years, Robin has left incredible physical evidence of his presence with me.

Conclusion

Since there is so much negativity, judgment, and fear when it comes to communicating with spirits, I wanted to be sure to report the positive experiences I have had in being connected with Robin.

I have been writing for over a year now and have over 100 posts that include dozens of supporting sources and references. So, at this point, people will either believe me or they won’t. I have done my best to share the truth of what I have experienced concerning Robin. I know some of you are with me and have had your own beautiful experiences with Robin and other loved ones in spirit.

Loved ones, twin souls, and ancestors in spirit keep trying to get through to us to let us know they still exist. It’s absolutely amazing what some spirits can do and I include Robin in this category. I feel the least we can do is to acknowledge, with gratitude, the signs we are given. It’s our responsibility to open our hearts, watch, listen and pay attention to what they have to say.

All my best to you and thank you for reading!

Afterlife Communication: Numbers and Dates

Afterlife Communication: Numbers and Dates

by | Jun 28, 2019 | General Communications, Numbers and Dates

In my connection with Robin, I am always looking for new things to share with him. On June 17, 2019, I wanted to have something beautiful to read to him during our tea time. So, I went online and researched poetry from different cultures.

Poetry from Around the World

I went to Google and researched “beautiful poetry Spain.” I did the same search for France and Italy. I have never done this before, but felt guided in this direction on that night. I’m not familiar with poetry from these countries, so I was hoping for something unique to share with Robin.

I love new and different things when it comes to many areas of life. When it comes to books, I have many that are best friends and I turn to them over and over again. But sometimes, it’s time for something new, so I do my best to keep my life balanced in that way.

I found some good links for French and Italian poetry.

During my Google search for “beautiful poetry Italy,” I noticed a link for Pinterest.

I clicked on the link so I could explore the poems. A few were written by Italian authors, but I also noticed poetry from authors from all around the world. I didn’t sign into my account at this point because I was just browsing.

I saw a poem I liked called “Not” by Erin Hanson. The poem was on this page.

It’s a great poem guiding us to not define ourselves by superficial criteria. Here is a screenshot of the poem and the other writings that were beside it on the exact day I found it on Pinterest:

The Significance of 520

While reading the poem, I noticed the numbers, “520” to the right of it. I was drawn into this because I associate these numbers with Robin’s passing date, May 20th. I wanted to see what the “520, means coffee time” meant. So, I decided to sign into Pinterest at that point. But after I did, I could no longer find the listing. Pinterest varies in what it shows from moment to moment it seems. So, I Googled it. Here is a screenshot:

Doing this helped me find the post again. I clicked on the Google link, signed into Pinterest and got a lot more information. The pin was published on May 20, 2017. Here is the screenshot. I could only see this when I logged in so I’m showing this to you in case you don’t have a Pinterest account:

I learned that “520” means “I love you” in Chinese. Also, May 20th is considered to be Chinese Valentine’s Day.  I had no idea! This was amazing to find out these numbers I associate with Robin have such a touching meaning in this culture. I’m happy that “520” in this case is actually associated with May 20th and not just “520” with no additional meaning.

The pin connects to this post that was published on May 20, 2017. The author associates “520” with relaxing coffee time. There’s nothing wrong with that!

As I scroll to the bottom of the page, I noticed a post about tea. I love this page, including the photography and sentiments expressed.

I thought this was particularly nice because my main point that night was to find something good to read to Robin while I gave him his orange-spice tea offering.

I had no idea that when I followed my guidance to research French and Italian poetry, that it would lead me on this journey. One thing led to another. I love how it was all interconnected.

I guess we’re still not done talking about Robin’s passing date anniversary because it keeps coming up in the most random and unexpected ways! I don’t determine when we’re done talking about May 20th, Spirit is! More specifically, Robin’s spirit 🙂 !

Staying Connected  Across Dimensions

Receiving this message connected to Robin’s passing date felt so wonderful because I had missed him that day. Life in the physical world is busy and distracting as you know, so I cherish the messages I get that connect me back to him.

It felt like he was saying, “Hi, I’m right here.” Since I was engaged in an activity that had to do with him when I saw “520,” and the new information about its meaning in Chinese, I take this as a sign of Robin’s presence with me. It gives me a nice new memory and association with May 20th from now on.

These messages also serve to strengthen and deepen our bond. I feel like he is closely engaged in what I’m doing.  These messages also give me encouragement to continue our relationship across dimensions.

Receiving these messages is very important to me because I’m hearing from Robin through them and it gives me the feeling that he’s still interested in our relationship.

Imagine that you had a friend on earth that you thought you had a great relationship with, only you never hear from them. You write, call, email and/or text them, but you never hear back from them. Well, eventually, you would give up on contacting them because you’re not getting any feedback, reinforcement or sign that this person is interested in having a relationship with you.

Going back to 2012, if I did not get any messages back from Robin, I would have stopped communicating with him because I don’t continue to reach out to people who don’t respond to me whether embodied or disembodied. I don’t want to bother someone or make a nuisance out of myself. I also have to respect myself and the other party and move on if there is not a mutual connection.

In this way, I was letting Robin know that if he wanted to have a relationship with me, he had to give me some kind of indication, message or response so I knew the connection was mutual. He has done far more than I could have ever imagined in that regard.

Since my relationship with Robin includes God, I see this scripture made manifest in my life:

20Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

The only reason I have this blog is because I continue to receive messages from Robin. If he stopped communicating with me, I would no longer have any messages to write about.

So, when I get a communication, dream, telekinesis, or synchronicity that connects back to him, it is both comforting and a relief because it’s like getting a letter or phone call that says he’s still with me.

I expect that the communications will continue because we love each other and because of our twin soul/soul family connection. I am extremely grateful for this. My connection with Robin has made life on Earth so much better for me.

I usually get one “phone call” or synchronicity a day that really stands out to me as something that connects back to Robin. I know his spirit is with me in those moments.

Here is some good additional information about afterlife communication. It shows how deceased loved ones like to use numbers and significant dates, such as passing dates, to communicate.

Thank you for reading and visiting me here today. I deeply appreciate all of my subscribers!

Love,

Christina

Better in a Bubble

Better in a Bubble

by | Jun 21, 2019 | Synchronicity, Twin Souls

When it comes to afterlife communication with Robin, there are particular messages and synchronicities that are among my favorites. One of them is the “telescope synchronicity” I shared in this post, In Contact.

I have had many others over the years, one of which I’d like to share with you now.

Letter to Robin

During the afternoon on April 25, 2016, I wrote this exact journal excerpt to Robin:

Early this morning after midnight, I said I’m well aware that I’m in a bubble with you, but there’s nothing I can really do about it because I have no connection with the other people and souls you are connected with and love, so I don’t know what you share with them.

I had been feeling concerned about living in this bubble with Robin. I was feeling sad that I’ll never know his family. It’s one of the downsides of having a twin soul you never met.

Looking back on it now, I was feeling left out because I had, for the most part, missed Robin’s entire life on earth. I was also feeling left out by virtue of us being in different planes of existence. I was missing the connection of the soul group I know he’s experiencing. There were things I wanted to know about these connections, but there was no way I could find out. This speaks to the limitations of afterlife communication, as beautiful and amazing as it is.

Also, at that time, I wasn’t sharing anything with anyone about what I had been experiencing, except for my husband.

I was in my own bubble, reading and studying the best material I could find on soul connections. I’m sure this is what many people do who have spiritually transformative experiences. We do research on the phenomena we are experiencing and keep it to ourselves. We spend many hours investigating this new element that has come into our lives, figuring it out on our own.

This was actually in my wheelhouse as a former psychology researcher. I thoroughly enjoyed finding a way to express the quiet, introverted, and scholarly side of my personality. I loved learning about afterlife communication, twin souls, soul families and life in the spirit world.

Still, I felt alone and like my life was a bit incongruous. On the one hand, I had been having a true spiritual awakening with beautiful dreams and experiences I could document. On the other hand, I felt I could not share it, and in the vast majority of cases, I was correct in that assumption.

Due to the fact that I had gone through such a monumental change when Robin’s spirit came into my life, I felt that when people looked at me, they didn’t really see me or know me at all. They thought they knew who I was. But they didn’t know anything about this major, secret part of my life. For years, it was locked inside of me.

It’s Better in a Bubble!

Robin had a response to the feelings I expressed to him in my journal. The answer came through a television show I had watched later that same day I made the comment about the bubble, April 25th.

I had been watching Season 302 of David Tutera’s Unveiled. It was Episode 6 and Part 2 of the birthday party for actor Gary Busey’s son.

As I watched the show and absorbed David Tutera’s party ideas, I was so amazed when I saw that one of the “magical moments” he planned was a bubble party. There, right before my eyes, was a lady wearing a t-shirt that read, “Life’s better inside a bubble!”

I felt a shiver go through me when I saw this scene on the television. I knew that Robin had heard me say I felt like I was in a bubble with him and was addressing my concerns.

He was saying in a sense, not to worry about it. It was such a fun reversal on how I had been seeing the whole situation. He was telling me life’s better in a bubble! He was also telling me that it was ok too!

Here is a screen shot of the scene I’m referring to:

The company Mr. Tutera hired is called Best Bubble Parties.

Here is a short video displaying a clip from the show. At about 30 seconds in, you can see the lady with the t-shirt that delivered Robin’s message.

With this message, Robin was trying to get me to stop taking things so seriously. What was the big deal if I was in a bubble with him? It’s not like I could really tell anyone what was going on at that point, so what did I expect? I could not stay in the bubble all of the time anyway. I still had to attend to my husband and all of my earthly responsibilities.

Perhaps on that day, I felt the bubble just a little bit more. So, I shared that with him in the spirit of honesty.

The response back was so uplifting. It brought me so much happiness. That is the true nature of afterlife communication with those we love in spirit.

I never felt bad about being in a bubble with him, at least some of the time, ever again!

I could really see Robin saying to me in his endearing, humorous way that, “Life really is better in a bubble. You should keep doing it and stay longer!” I could see him totally making a joke out of this.

Since I have been sharing my experiences here, I have felt a lot less like I’m in a bubble. I know I’m reaching a small group of people that enjoy and benefit from my posts and I feel I’m doing worthwhile spiritual work. Writing has been extremely therapeutic for me in that regard.

I’ll probably always feel this bubble with Robin around me to some extent because I still live in a world where I cannot openly share these experiences with people in my day-to-day life. But, it helps that I have some readers here, and my supportive husband. For that, I am very appreciative.

I wrote the journal entry to Robin that I shared above, after I received the synchronicity through Mr. Tutera’s show. I was recounting what I had said to him earlier about being in a bubble and then I thanked him for the beautiful message back. Here is an additional excerpt from my journal:

On DT’s show, Gary Busey’s party, I saw a bubble party and a shirt a lady is wearing a t-shirt that said, “Life’s better in a bubble”! That is so amazing and I love you so much!! Thank you Beloved Robin.

I was in such a hurry to type that entry, I did not create proper sentences! 🙂

A Happy Medium

You can find a lot of articles about why we shouldn’t live life in a bubble. But, maybe it’s all in how you look at it. Perhaps it depends on the situation.

How often do we think something or a way of being is “bad” because everyone else is telling us that it is? We have the right to decide for ourselves what is best.

Living in a bubble is generally considered to be a negative thing. It is in some cases if people are ignoring things that need to be attended to. However, perhaps being in a bubble for a little while on a regular basis is not such a bad idea. This is true especially if you are very sensitive. I like to think in terms of finding a happy medium with many things in life, avoiding extremes.

We can all temporarily create a bubble around ourselves. In this bubble you can:

  • Cushion and protect yourself: Lots of people use a bubble for spiritual protection. It depends on what works for you and what is most effective. I have used the bubble visualization techniques and meditations at various times in my life in addition to relying on God and spoken prayers for protection. I like the beautiful protective visualizations! I have practiced using the bubble of white light that Sylvia Browne writes about here.
  • Heal and nurture yourself
  • Rest and recuperate
  • Set boundaries around your time and space

Make your bubble as pretty as you want, with rainbow colors!

Then when you come out to face the world, you’ll potentially be much calmer and ready to deal.

Thank you for visiting me today. I love having this website to share my afterlife stories with you. I consider my writing here to be part of my life’s work.

It is some of the most rewarding and heart-connected work I have ever done. I do not earn or accept money for any of my writings, but I feel I am paid in many other ways. Having a close spiritual connection with God, Robin, and the rest of my spirit team is enough for me. The communications are brilliant and add an extra layer of joy to my life, which I then transmit to you, my readers.

I am so grateful for Robin bringing sublime communications into our lives that are of God, love and truth.

I hope you get to spend some time in your bubble, alone or with someone you love!

Love,

Christina

Medicinal Message

by | Jun 14, 2019 | Breast Cancer, Synchronicity

Now that we are past Robin’s anniversary dates, I thought I would write a post with a lighter topic.

The synchronicity I experience is my lifeline to Robin’s spirit. I am happy to share another occurrence with you which I hope you will enjoy. As you can tell by the pictures, tasty food is involved! If you have time, I hope you will click on the links I provided because they are meant to enhance the post and give much-needed additional information.

Medicinal Soup

On January 29, 2019, I sat by Robin’s altar while having lunch. I shared with him that I wanted to eat soups that are medicinal. This was just a couple of months into my recovery and I wanted to be as healthy as possible. This had not been too long since I wrote about having lunch with Robin in the post, Afterlife Spice.

So, that day, I came up with my own homemade concoction. I was eating black bean soup again, but this time, added additional ingredients that are good for your health and for building up your immune system.These ingredients included fresh raw garlic, Serrano peppers and cinnamon.

 I continued to include turmeric, black pepper, and added carrots, tomatoes, and shitake mushrooms. Parsley and cilantro are also two of my favorite herbs and I like to add them to my soups. Sometimes I will add fresh rosemary, green beans, Portobello mushrooms, leeks, or cauliflower. I mix it up and use different ingredients at different times to keep it interesting.

I generally use low sodium vegetable broth or chicken bone broth. Adding some low-sodium tomato sauce also gives the soup a nice flavor because the low-sodium broth is pretty bland. All of the ingredients I use are organic if possible due to wanting to protect myself from pesticide load and genetically modified foods. This is a good article explaining the ins and outs of organic farming standards and foods.

It’s important to understand what we’re really getting when we go to the grocery store. Just because something is organic does not mean it’s healthy, so you still have to carefully check labels for sodium, sugar and fat content among other things. I am by no means a professional nutritionist, but I read and study as much as I can on my own to make the most informed choices.

Medicinal Echo

I sat in the room where Robin’s altar is kept with the door closed, quietly eating my soup and talking with him about the ingredients. Robin was a macrobiotic vegetarian, so I believe these dietary issues interest him.

He spoke about his diet in this video, beginning around 2:12 into the interview. He made me laugh with this one!

After I was done with lunch, Julian greeted me with a surprising comment. He was sitting at his desk and had been reading something online. He said he was reading about Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and how it’s medicinal!

He had been reading this article which you might find interesting if you like this type of cheese. I love it!

The interesting thing is that the word “medicinal” is not mentioned in the article. It does go into quite a bit of nutritional information about Parmigiano-Reggiano.

I said to him that it was really weird because I had just used the exact word, “medicinal” when talking with Robin at lunch about my soup approximately a ½ hour earlier. I asked Julian if he had heard what I was saying to Robin and he said “no,” he hadn’t. I often ask my husband these sorts of questions because I want to make sure it’s a true synchronicity.

I talk pretty softly when I’m with Robin. Even if he did hear me talking, I believe him that he didn’t hear my exact words because of the acoustics of our home. So, it was an amazing synchronicity and “medicinal message” back.

I’m fascinated that I had just finished talking about my medicinal soup with Robin and then as soon as I finish, Julian started talking with me about this cheese, calling it medicinal. It’s the fun, surprising and shocking way in which we are connected. Sometimes, all it takes is one word to let you know your loved one in spirit is communicating with you. I feel like I’m given a nice blessing back for choosing to spend time with Robin, which is invaluable.

Spouse-Twin Connection

This section is a short follow-up to what I wrote in this post about being married when your twin soul arrives.

Julian has been mirroring back to me what I say to, write or read about Robin since the summer of 2012. This was before I knew anything about twin souls. My research on afterlife communication began seriously in June, 2012 once I started noticing how my husband was often saying or doing things that matched with something to do with Robin. It is really incredible to witness, just like with the post I wrote on the Dr. King Synchronicity.

Sometimes it feels like Robin is visiting me through my husband. There is some basis for what I’m saying in the literature on twin souls. In this fascinating post, Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov wrote about how our twin from the spirit world can visit us by using another person as a vehicle.

A twin from spirit can take up temporary residence in a spouse on earth for example, without the spouse being the least bit aware of it. Master Aïvanhov is 100% correct. I have seen this with my own eyes and I can sense Robin’s presence in Julian very strongly at times.

Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear!

If you are interested in more information about what Master Aïvanhov has to say about love, sexuality and twin souls, please check out his book which you can find here. Chapter 19 is about twin souls.

My twin soul connection with Robin has included my husband from the very beginning, before I knew what was going on. From my point of view, this is how I want it to be. It’s important for people to know that twin soul connections are meant to be spiritual connections and can include your current partner when your twin is in spirit. Your partner and twin can blend together in a way that is impossible not to notice. It’s something amazing that I have learned after Robin’s passing.  I had no knowledge of this type of phenomena before Robin entered the spirit world.

afterlife communicationsThe arrival of a twin soul from spirit does not have to cause any separation in an already established marriage. I suppose it could if marriage partners are having pre-existing problems. Spirits, especially twin soul spirits, are very powerful in making their presence known, as Robin has done. But if your marriage is strong and stable enough, it is possible for this type of spouse-twin integration to occur. The integration shows up in particular synchronistic moments.

The synchronicity that occurs through Julian on such a regular basis is Robin’s way of letting me know he’s here and visiting for a few moments.

Chef Massimo Bottura

A year or so ago, I first watched an episode of a show on Netflix called Chef’s Table. I watched it again on June 9th to refresh my memory.

The episode I watched was of Italian Chef Massimo Bottura on Season (or Volume) 1, Episode 1. I share this with you here because it was a beautiful show explaining some of the history of Modena, Italy as it relates to Parmigiano Reggiano.

There was an earthquake that did a lot of damage to Modena and put the Parmigiano Reggiano industry at risk for bankruptcy because 360,000 wheels of Parmigiano were damaged.

The episode of the show opened with the date of the earthquake: May 20, 2012.

As you can imagine, I got the chills when I saw that date, which is Robin’s passing date.

To help save the Parmigiano industry of Modena, Chef Bottura created a risotto recipe where the cheese was a main ingredient. Word got out around the world about his recipe and people starting making it. All the damaged wheels of Parmigiano were sold and people were able to keep their jobs. It’s a beautiful humanitarian story which shows the kind inner spirit of this chef. He seems to have a very good heart as a food philanthropist. You can read about his work preventing food waste and hunger here.

Sometimes I think that I received the synchronicity about this medicinal Parmigiano through Julian because Robin knows about this show I watched, the date of the earthquake and how it coincided with his passing date. I think the synchronicity was meant to bring me back to this show and this date because honestly, I had forgotten about how May 20, 2012 was displayed on the screen right at the beginning of this show. I was reminded of that again when I watched it on June 9th, as I mentioned. It was there smack bang in my face again, to borrow Robin’s words!

It’s funny how I opened this post with saying we are past his anniversary dates, but I guess we’re really not, lol!

So, sometimes, loved ones in spirit might want to revisit a topic that you have already shared before. With so much going on with my health, I had forgotten about the May 20th earthquake date. I’m sure Robin knows and understands that. So, he gave me a reminder and brought me back to a show that gave me a lot of joy. I also like to write about really good people on this website and Chef Bottura appears to be just that.

Immune System Booster Salad

One final thing I would like to add to this lunch is a salad I like. I did research on what some of the most nutritional greens and veggies are. Here’s what I came up with. Cancer survivor or not, this type of food is good for our bodies.

Use the following in the amounts you want and organic if you can find/afford it:

  • Organic Girl greens: 50/50, Super Greens or any kind of spring mix you like.
  • Dandelion greens: I admit they are bitter and take some getting used to, but are very good for you. I started including them in my diet when I first found out I had breast cancer. Lady Moon Farms has a nice brand of dandelion greens that you can find at Whole Foods. Many other earthy-crunchy health food stores carry them as well depending on where you live, such as Earth Origins.
  • Watercress (peppery)
  • Broccoli
  • Cherry tomatoes and carrots
  • Extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar
  • Parmigiano-Reggiano: Whole Foods sells a beautiful Parmigiano-Reggiano, but it’s so darn expensive, I buy it only if it’s on sale. I hope there are other good options in your area for buying high-quality cheese. By the way, the soup I made and cheese are delicious together!
  • Whatever else you want: I often add natural, unsalted almonds or walnuts. Good substitutions for any of the above ingredients are kale, beet greens, or arugula. I eat whatever greens I can get my hands on! 🙂

I hope you enjoyed this tasty afterlife communication with Robin, my husband and me. This was fun!

All my best to you with love,

Christina

P.S.:  I wrote a rough draft for this post on Saturday, June 9th. After I saved the document for the day, I went to talk to my husband about what he was doing. He was carefully researching dental plans for us, noting how many scams there are. As far as some of the plans he said, “There may be some ins and outs to it.”

I smiled because I had just finished writing about the “ins and outs” of organic food. There is definitely a beautiful spirit around and working through my husband! This matching and mirroring really stands out to me. I honor it, acknowledge it and give thanks to God, Robin and my Guardians for it.

Namaste!
