Invitations

Invitations

by | Feb 7, 2019 | General Communications

Over the years, I have found some very good information on how to interact with loved ones in spirit and invite them into daily life.

Before Robin passed away, I had no idea that this was possible and that we in the physical world could do this if we so choose. In order to invite loved ones in spirit into your life, a prerequisite is to believe and know that they continue to live on.

Upon Robin’s passing, I had faith that he lived on, but I did not have specific tools which could help me reach out more effectively. I communicated with him verbally in a loving way based on what came naturally to me, but I still had room to grow and develop in this area.  

After reading and studying the excellent works of other authors, I came up with my own ways of inviting Robin into my daily life. Here is an example of an invitation that I wrote and read out loud for him:

I call to the heart and spirit of Robin Hugh Gibb of the Bee Gees with love. I open my heart to you and invite you to communicate with me in ways that are for our highest good.

 

I ask for the presence of God, our loving Creator, to please surround us with the greatest, most powerful Divine Love for our protection. Please protect us with your Holy Light.

 

I invite you to communicate with me through any signs, symbols, messages, communications, dreams, and synchronicity that you deem necessary or important.

 

I also invite you Robin, to communicate with me in the vibration of infinite love, for the pure joy of it and for our spiritual growth and development.

 

Beloved Robin, I invite your creativity, humor, intelligence, beauty, love, and dynamic energy into my life.

 

I surrender to however you wish to communicate with me due to the trust and kindness we share.

 

I thank you for all of the times you have communicated with me and I look forward to how our spirits will align.

 

Thank you, Robin. Thanks and praise to God. I send you my love and gratitude.

 

Love,

Christina

It feels good to invite Robin in this way. After I make my invitation, I stay open to his presence and pay close attention to what transpires. That’s where the fun comes in because messages always come back in ways I never could have imagined.

Since I invite him to communicate with me, I open my heart and share with him things that are going on in my life. Just like with someone in the physical world, communication with Robin is a two-way street.

Holiday Invitations

One of my favorite ways of communicating with Robin and inviting him into my life is to decorate his altar for different holidays.

As you know, I decorated Robin’s altar for Christmas and I offered a meal at Samhain. I also decorate his altar for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter.

Doing this brings fun and joy into our home. It is still possible to have fun with loved ones after they pass away because they are still involved in our lives.

Decorating an altar space for holidays can be an amazing creative activity, and provides a place to commune with the spirit of your loved one. It is a way to celebrate their ongoing life and include them in what’s going on for you.

I wanted Robin to know that I welcomed him and was truly committed to communicating with him. One way to demonstrate my commitment was to not just create an altar, but create one with vibrancy and living energy that changed with the seasons and holidays.

Afterlife Communications

Additional Ways to Invite Loved Ones

Music:

After I got to know Robin, I found there are particular songs I like to dedicate to him. As mentioned in the literature on afterlife communication, loved ones in spirit like to use music to communicate with us.

I also think we on Earth can use music to communicate with our loved ones in Spirit. Why not? It’s a great way to invite them, especially if they were musicians or singers.

One of my favorite songs to play for Robin at his altar is Killing Me Softly by Roberta Flack.

It is because of the impact his music has had on me. The song is absolutely beautiful and I cry nearly every time I play it for him. Robin singing lead on Heart Like Mine is a perfect example of him “killing me softly” or deeply piercing my heart, with his song.

I also like to play Nobody Does It Better by Carly Simon. It has nothing to do with the movie, but with the lyrics. It’s my way of giving a musical compliment to Robin.

Humor:

I love to have a laugh with Robin, and I share the funniest things I can find with him. It is very beneficial for our communications if I can raise my vibration to a higher level. Reading humorous material really helps with this. It is well-known that humor is extremely therapeutic and one of the best ways to cope with life’s challenges.

I love the BBC’s Anglophenia page and I know he appreciates the humor.

Some of my favorite things to laugh with him about are 8 British Inside Jokes Americans Don’t Understand and 10 Weird Things Brits Do in America.

Here are a few more funny things I like to share with him. I hope you like them:

Now we know all of your little tricks! I’ll bet Robin used some of those!

Special Items:

One thing that I came to love, along with creating Robin’s altar, is buying him special English china. I knew absolutely nothing about English china before his passing, but I came to love searching for it in local antique stores. I wanted to offer him his tea in something special and something from his country. I like the history associated with the china also.

I purchased this Spode Copelands England Floral Cherry Blossom china for him a few years ago. It’s the perfect size for a tea love offering and it’s really pretty:

It’s fun to buy china and other special items for Robin so we can create our own memories now. Buying special items is especially nice if you are spiritually connected to someone who died, but you didn’t know. Even if you don’t have any of their personal items, you can still get started with creating an altar with things you think they will like. I know Robin loves his altar and is very familiar with it. Periodically, he will move some special items from his altar on to the floor so I know he has visited.

Meaningful readings:

On this website, I have shared with you many books that I like to read to Robin.

He was one of our greatest writers of love songs. So, I like to share works with him that are beautiful and worthwhile.

One book that I have read to him from over the years is called Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom by John O’Donohue.

I was drawn to it because it contains deep knowledge about soul connections. I liked that the author’s examination of soulful relationships has a Celtic orientation, the part of the world that Robin was born and raised in.

Some people may not be used to the idea that you can read to loved ones in spirit. But they can perceive us and hear us without physical ears. This had been made abundantly clear to me, so I read to Robin as a means of afterlife communication. Reading to him has often drawn in precise synchronicity to me, so I know there is a connection being made.

If we can pray for them out loud, I don’t see why we can’t read to them out loud. If you’re lovingly connected to someone on the other side, I have found it to be a beautiful way of sending a message and an invitation.

I close this post with this heart-warming quote by John O’Donohue:

“The one you love, your anam cara, your soul friend, is the truest mirror to reflect your soul…It is beautiful to have such a presence in your life.” (pg 26)

Your anam cara can be in physical form or discarnate. Yes, Robin’s presence in my life is beautiful and I will continue to invite it with gratitude.

Love,

Christina

Will You Wait for Me?

Will You Wait for Me?

by | Jan 31, 2019 | Dreams, Synchronicity

Writing for Paisley and Poppies is my solace. It is a process of healing, learning and discovery. I love how the events of life mysteriously unfold, blossom and give me the inspiration for each post.

My Dream

For this post, I would like to share something from my past.

During the fall of 2012, I had another important dream about Robin. I would like to describe this to you now:

I was in a public bathroom. Robin was in there with me. No one else was around. He looked young, like he was in his late teens. He was wearing a suit and tie.

 

Robin came out of the bathroom stall and started to walk out of the bathroom. As he was leaving, I said to him, “Robin?” He turned around and looked at me without speaking. I asked him, “Will you wait for me?”

 

He didn’t say anything, but turned to leave and walk outside of the bathroom. Then, I went into a stall, did what I needed to do, and then walked outside of the bathroom.

 

When I walked outside of the bathroom, Robin was sitting at a table to the left of the door waiting for me. The table was right outside of the bathroom. He looked up at me.

That was the end of the dream.

I had this dream several months after Robin’s death. At that time, I still didn’t quite know what was going on between us spiritually.

I loved him as a member of my soul family as I have previously written about.

By this time, I had already been experiencing strong synchronicity and had other visitation dreams about him and Maurice.

But, I was still puzzled about why I would be asking him to wait for me. At that point, I was asking myself questions like, “Why would I ask him to wait for me when we didn’t even know each other.” I still didn’t get it.  And, I was even more puzzled and confused about why I dreamt about us being in a public bathroom together.

One Million Years

A few weeks after my dream, in October, 2012, I received a Google alert for some of Robin’s music. The alert was sharing a YouTube video for his song, One Million Years. At that time, I had never heard of this song.

I had been busy at the time I got this Google alert and did not listen to it right away. I may have had this video in my inbox for a couple of weeks before I got to it.

When I finally listened to it, I received the shock of my life. I can still remember it to this day. The opening lyrics to the song are, “I’m dead…”

That hit me like a ton of bricks. The first time I heard that song was after Robin’s death.

Then, I heard the chorus, “I will wait for you…”

I was blown away and shocked because the lyrics reminded me of my dream of him a few weeks earlier, where I asked him if he would wait for me. I felt a powerful, personal message and afterlife communication with Robin from this song. I felt like he was answering my question in one of the most poignant and beautiful ways: through one of his songs.

I know he is waiting for me. It’s one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever been given. At the time I had this dream, my mind didn’t understand it. But my soul understood and knew who he is to me. This dream came from my soul.

In the dream, I wasn’t asking about whether he would wait for me to come out of the bathroom, even though he did. It goes much deeper than that.

I was asking if he would wait for me while he’s in the spirit world. I was asking if he would wait for me and be there for me after I pass away. That is the real message and meaning of the dream.

I offer this quote from the book, Spirit Mates: Their Origin and Destiny; Sex-life, Marriage, Divorce, Oct 31, 2013 by James Martin Peebles to express how I truly feel about this connection with Robin’s spirit. I appreciate how Peebles is able to express this sentiment so precisely:

“So far as my knowledge extends, a belief in a future life, and a belief that the spirit mate awaits the coming of the counterpart, has produced the most salutary and exalted influences upon the mortal…” (1)

It is extremely comforting for me to know that life continues after death and that Robin is waiting. Through my experiences with Robin, I have also come to realize that I have others from my ancestral line and soul family waiting for me as well. I did not have this certainty and knowledge before Robin’s death. Being with Robin has helped me realize I have these other connections as well.

It has been incredibly beneficial for me to know this, especially when I experience difficulties connecting with people here in the physical world. I’m not solely dependent upon people in physical bodies. I have other loved ones in the Unseen too, and I know that they are here for me. They will be there for me when my time of passing comes.

Robin’s Dream Appearance

I would now like to mention another important detail about my dream of Robin.

In my dream, Robin looked just like he did in the One Million Years video.

I did not see this video before my dream, only after my dream. This is another amazing synchronicity about this dream. To me, it was meant to go together with his song. It was divinely timed so the dream and the song would occur within a close time frame of each other.

You also have to remember that in 2012, I was still just getting to know him because I had never followed him and knew nothing about him. Everything was new to me, including what he looked like throughout his lifespan.

Many things came as a surprise to me at that time because I was receiving afterlife communication at the same time I was learning about Robin and who he was as a person.

The synchronicity of my dream occurring in close proximity to the time I saw this video for the first time had an extremely strong impact on me. The impact still reverberates across time and affects me greatly to this day.  One Million Years is haunting enough on its’ own. Combined with the dream, it was really quite powerful.

Why the Bathroom?

Another thing that puzzled me about this dream was the fact that we were in a public bathroom together. Why the bathroom? I thought it was so weird that I would dream about that. That was until a few years later when I finally got the answer.

According to my source, the Bee Gees liked singing in bathrooms due to the strong echo effect:

“We used to look for public conveniences,” Robin added.

 

“We used to love singing in the toilets.”

 

“We used to go down to Lewis’ Department Store and sing in the gents’ toilet because of the echo,” Barry said.

 

“You couldn’t get echo anywhere else in your voice, and that was the place that was our favourite spot.” (2)

After I read this, I was convinced that this was why I dreamed about being in the public bathroom with Robin. That’s where he used to like to sing! I didn’t know that in 2012, so I was completely perplexed, and a little embarrassed, to be dreaming about being in the bathroom with him.

afterlife communications

I feel like I had connected with him telepathically on some level so that this information about bathrooms appeared in my dream state.

Loved Ones Waiting

Chicago Tribune reporter Barbara Brotman wrote about an experienced hospice nurse named Maggie Callanan. Nurse Callanan reported her experiences with patients who were close to death.  The article is called Striking Similarity of Dying Words, June 19, 2013.

Ms. Callanan reported that if patients were still able to speak as they got closer to death, they reported nearly the same events. They reported that they could see loved ones that died before them and that their loved ones were waiting for them.

What do you believe? What have your experiences been?

I firmly believe that those we loved and knew, as well as those we don’t know or remember, are lovingly waiting for us. And while they are waiting for us, some are able to interact with us in the physical world in the most life-changing of ways.

Robin has taught me that he, and other spirits, can still see, move/create things, speak, and hear us without having a physical body. He still exists as a highly intelligent, creative spiritual being. I have all the proof I need to know this is true.

Since loved ones are waiting for us in spirit, I believe that no one dies alone, even if it seems like it from our limited physical world view of things. For that, I am very grateful.

Love,

Christina

McKenzie and Massachusetts

McKenzie and Massachusetts

by | Jan 24, 2019 | Synchronicity, Twin Souls

Feel I’m goin’ back to Massachusetts
Something’s telling me I must go home
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own

Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco
Gotta do the things I wanna do
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you…

… I will remember Massachusetts

~Massachusetts by the Bee Gees

I thought these lyrics would be a nice introduction to writing about a synchronicity I once had related to the song Massachusetts. I have briefly mentioned this song in a few posts because it is a very special soul connection that I share with Robin. I was born in Massachusetts in 1966.

I was happy when I once read that for the Bee Gees, regarding Massachusetts, “…there was a certain familiarity to the state’s name—and it felt right in a song.”(1)

This is true even though they were in New York at the time they wrote the song and had never been to Massachusetts.

McKenzie Synchronicity

On April 18, 2016, I was in the dentist office waiting for my husband. I was reading my favorite Bee Gees book.

I was reading Chapter 10, which goes into how the Bee Gees came to write Massachusetts. They were writing it as a 60’s anti-flower power song. Here is the passage I was reading:

How The Bee Gees came to write their answer to the movement, immortalized by Scott McKenzie’s pop classic, ‘San Francisco’, varies according to which brother is telling the story.

“The first time the group went to New York and stayed at the St Regis Hotel, and while our luggage was being moved into the suite, we were writing ‘Massachusetts’, sitting on a sofa, the three of us.

It came from our first exposure to America, our first thoughts of writing a song about flower power, which the song is about. Or it’s basically anti-flower power … because we were getting tired of it long before everybody else did.

‘Don’t go to San Francisco, come home, for Christ’s sake,’” Barry laughed. “We wanted to write the opposite of what it’s like to lose somebody who went to San Francisco … Well, we thought, ‘Why not write a song about everybody going home?’ The lights all went out in Massachusetts because everyone went to San Francisco, because they left. There was something very special about that thought.” (2)

While I was reading about Scott McKenzie and the “San Francisco” song, the receptionist in the dental office was talking about an appointment for someone named McKenzie! She said the name 3 times as she was talking with the other receptionists sitting beside her. I looked up to see what was going on, completely blown away by the synchronicity.

afterlife communications

At this moment, my life in the physical world was a mirrored reflection of what I was reading in my book about the Bee Gees.

I felt this synchronistic connection to be very strong and it was especially valuable to me because of the connection to Massachusetts. It was amazing and shocked me a bit. These synchronicities can feel like a little jolt.

 

Intensity of Synchronicity

This sense of feeling shocked reminds me of something I recently read in an article called What’s Unusual About Twin Flame Signs and Synchronicities by Vickie Champion.

I can really relate to what she says about the intensity of the synchronicity. It has felt a little ‘twilight zone-like’ at times. Maybe this has been your experience too. I underlined the last sentence because I feel it is very true:

Sometimes, with twin flame signs and synchronicities, they can get extreme. Upon seeing or hearing a sign or synchronicity, we can get emotional by tearing up, feeling a little scared, or like we just entered the twilight zone. And if we are with others at the time, they feel the emotional impact with us. It’s like the universe wants it to be right in-your-face, so there is no way you can deny it.

McKenzie was definitely in my face that day! I have had many extreme signs over the years like this. I have documented some of them on this website to give examples of how twin soul synchronicity can present itself.

I write this to support others who may be going through something similar, but have no one to talk with. During the years, it always helped me to know other people were going through similar experiences as me.

The Smoothies

While I was going through my radiation treatment in 2018, my husband and I used to stop for smoothies every Friday. It was our way of giving ourselves a little treat while going through that difficult situation.

Since then, my husband has come to love smoothies and wants them on a regular basis as a meal replacement.

So on January 18th, after a long walk at a local park, we got a couple. On the 19th, we were out driving and he wanted another one, so we stopped at our favorite local smoothie place.

I was in the process of writing this blog post at the time and had a rough draft saved. I realized that I had never done any research on Scott McKenzie. So on January 19th, after we came home from our trip to Smoothie King, I decided to look him up. I wanted to see if there was any other meaning behind the synchronicity that I needed to know or pay attention to.

afterlife communicationsI found information about him on Wikipedia and read a bit about him. I noticed that Scott McKenzie passed away in 2012, the same year as Robin.

As I continued to read, to my surprise, I noticed a very cute and funny synchronicity. He was once a member of a band called The Smoothies!

Can you believe that? I find that out after going out for smoothies two days in a row with my husband and on the same day we got smoothies!

Here is the excerpt from Wikipedia with a little history and mention of The Smoothies:

Scott McKenzie (born Philip Wallach Blondheim III; January 10, 1939 – August 18, 2012) was an American singer and songwriter. He was best known for his 1967 hit single and generational anthem, “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)“.[1]

 

Life and career

 

Philip Wallach Blondheim III was born in Jacksonville, Florida, on January 10, 1939, as the son of Philip Wallach Blondheim, Jr. by the former Dorothy Winifred Hudson.[2] His family moved to Asheville, North Carolina, when he was six months old.[3] He grew up in North Carolina and Virginia, where he became friends with the son of one of his mother’s friends, John Phillips.

 

In the mid-1950s, he sang briefly with Tim Rose in a high school group called The Singing Strings, and later with Phillips, Mike Boran, and Bill Cleary formed a doo wop band, The Abstracts.

 

In New York, The Abstracts became The Smoothies and recorded two singles with Decca Records, produced by Milt Gabler. During his time with The Smoothies, Blondheim decided to change his name for business reasons…

Sometimes, I think the synchronicities are meant to just make us smile, laugh, and lighten up. That’s what this did for me. That is the meaning of this smoothie synchronicity that I needed to know: laugh and have fun! It also made me feel that Robin is very close by. I feel loved, watched over and guided.

Events are timed perfectly and things happen when they are meant to. If I had researched Scott McKenzie back in 2016 when the synchronicity first occurred, I would not have received this smoothie message. It was meant to be aligned with how my life is now.

I thank God, Robin and all loving Spirits involved in co-creating synchronicity in my life! From now on, every time I drink a smoothie, I will remember Scott McKenzie…and Massachusetts!

Love,

Christina

Soaring Ascent

Soaring Ascent

by | Jan 17, 2019 | Synchronicity

One of my primary motivations for writing this blog is to give actual examples of loving afterlife communication that show that life continues after death. With Robin’s assistance, I have been able to show that life after death can be highly intelligent, creative, and powerful. As a result of being in relationship with him, I have learned that afterlife communication can be very precise, reliable, and clear.  I will be demonstrating that in this post.

With Robin’s passing, I entered into a phase of accelerated spiritual awakening. I started having spiritual experiences I had never had before his death. Many times, especially during 2012-2013, I felt like what I was going through with Robin was an initiation, like I was being prepared for something.  I felt like I was being initiated into higher knowledge about life after death and that eventually, I would need to begin some sort of spiritual work concerning what I had experienced.

This meant opening up about how I actually communicate with Robin, which initially, was very difficult for me.

Part of my spiritual awakening has included learning about communicating with Robin in ways that are helpful to his spiritual well-being. At times, I get amazing feedback by way of synchronicity.

I have read many different books to him over the years, from writings by Oscar Wilde, to teachings about mantras.

It is enriching for both of us to communicate through the use of different books and articles as we both love to read. I especially like to read passages to him that contain a lot of spiritual beauty.

During lunch on January 16th, I was thinking about a poem that I have read to Robin a few times in the past and have contemplated on my own many times.

I read it to him. But really, it was a message for me.

The poem is called Song of Victory, and it is from a book called Light Upon Light: Inspirations from Rumi by Andrew Harvey and Eryk Hanut (Mar 13, 1996).

In this book, Harvey interprets Rumi’s major works from fresh and new perspectives.

During my lunch with Robin, where I offered him golden turmeric cashew milk tea, I kept thinking about a particular line from this poem:

My decline you have seen, now discover my soaring ascent!

Here are a few lines from the poem by Andrew Harvey. It is a very enlightening message on possible ways to view physical death. The bold is mine:

Song of Victory

 

….My decline you have seen, now discover my soaring ascent!

 

Would setting cause any harm to the sun or moon?

 

To you, my death seems a setting, but really it is dawn.

 

Does the tomb seem a prison to you? It is the liberation of the soul….

 

(pg. 240)

 

I did not have the poem in front of me at the time. I was eating quietly and thinking about this one line in the poem that always stood out to me. I thought about how yes, I had seen Robin’s heartbreaking decline, but in 2012, I had a realization of his soaring ascent.

This got me thinking about resurrection and whether our loved ones in spirit experience some sort of resurrection.

Then, I thought about Jesus’ words, “I am the resurrection and the life.” These words popped into my head.

As I mentioned in my about section, I have Christian roots and during my adult years, I have really come to love these words.

I realize that this line of discussion could turn into a theological debate, but that is not the purpose of this post. I know that some people reading this will agree with this scripture and some people will not.

I am mentioning this because it involves complex afterlife communication that you will see in a moment, not to debate who is right or wrong.

This was something I was thinking about as I was eating meditatively at Robin’s altar. When I thought about “soaring ascent,” I thought about resurrection.

At this moment during lunch, the words, “I am the resurrection and the life,” were playing over and over again in my head. To me, they are very powerful and I feel filled with life as I think about them. I thought about how these words would be great for me to meditate upon as a mantra.

I continued to think about this while I ate. I was only thinking about this, not talking out loud to Robin about it.

JesusAfter I finished, I decided to read a meditation to Robin as part of my daily offering to his spirit. I chose the book, The Still Voice by White Eagle (Sep 1981). The lessons are uplifting and the meditations are filled with beautiful spiritual imagery. I have read them to Robin often over the years.

I did not have any particular meditation in mind when I opened the book. I randomly thumbed through the pages and looked at the meditations. Some are longer than others and I wanted one that had longer text. There are 46 chapters in this book and 46 meditations to go along with each chapter.  So, there’s a lot to choose from.

After a few moments, I found one with more text and decided to read it. I read out loud to Robin these beautiful words:

We would draw for you a picture of the Master Jesus, warm in humanity, gentle, understanding you and your every need, your disappointments and your fears. Yet he is afire with the light of the Christ spirit and comes to you from the heart of the Sun with arms outstretched in giving and in surrender to God’s will. Dwell on the human form of this perfect Son–Daughter of the living God, clothed in the white and gold rays of the Sun; focus this picture in your heart, dwell on it (page 64).

Then, I came upon these words that I did not notice until I was just about ready to read them. I was struck immediately by the synchronicity with what I had just been contemplating. The bold is mine:

Say in your heart, ‘Christ within me is the resurrection and the life….’ and feel that life rising in you; feel the power of the light coursing through your whole being. Divine power and love enfold you and raise you out of limitation into freedom. (pg. 64)

I was so amazed and felt joyful over this synchronistic message. Out of all of the meditations in this book, I was drawn to choose this one. I did not know the content of the meditation when I chose it. I had just been looking at the fact that it had more text than the other meditations and I wanted something longer to read to Robin. The Law of Attraction was really at work!

I feel a bit of intuitive clairaudience was also at work because Jesus’ words kept repeatedly playing over and over in my head before I was guided to this meditation and synchronicity.

One other point I would like to make about this is that this is the only time in the entire book that the word ‘resurrection’ was mentioned. I was guided to the one meditation where this word was mentioned. I know this because I have the kindle edition of this book as well and I did a word search to find out how often the word ‘resurrection’ was used. The answer is one time.

What does this synchronicity mean? For me it means that at that moment, I was experiencing conscious Oneness with God, Jesus and Robin that manifested in an outward way. That’s how it felt. I’m always one with them, but sometimes they let me see that in a more noticeable way.

I also feel that it is scripture I need to study further. That’s what I usually do when I encounter synchronicity through what I’m reading…additional study.

For me, it also my opinion and experience with Robin that after his death, he did go through a restoration and renewal. In one of my dreams of him, he was restored to his youthful appearance. He, meaning his spirit, was restored to life and health.

He did come back from the dead and lots of other deceased loved ones do too. They come back via their energy bodies. And they can visit and make their presence known. They are there and around us.

Beloved Robin, we have discovered your soaring ascent! Thank you for sharing this with us!

Utter Amazement: January 17, 2019

I wrote all of the above text during the very late hours of January 16th and the very early hours of January 17th. I stopped writing at about 1:30am.

I checked my email around 2:50pm on January 17th. I received this email and noticed the most profound synchronicity. It was an email from BrightStar Live Events.

I am on their list to receive newsletters and information about events so I regularly receive emails. But, I wasn’t expecting this beautiful surprise.

The topic of the email is “Discover the deeper messages in the Christian lineage.” Here is a screen shot of the email to corroborate what I am saying:

Andrew Harvey Email Image

The event is being conducted by Andrew Harvey, the same author I just wrote about!

The event is called, Rediscovering the Christ Path: How to Embody Sacred Love in Action.

Through this incredible gift of synchronicity, I feel deeply aligned, powerfully and psychically attuned with God, Jesus, Robin and Andrew Harvey. The email about Andrew Harvey’s event is in divine timing with this blog post where I have written about him for the first time. The email is also in divine alignment with my writing about Jesus, the Christ spirit, and the energy of resurrection. The email is a mirror reflection of what I had just been writing about.

Andrew Harvey’s event description also addressed a deep concern within me as I wrote about Jesus’ words and this meditation. My concern is that I know that people are often turned off by Christianity due to negative experiences they have had with Christian churches and upbringings. I understand that as I have also had these negative experiences.

Because of these negative experiences I have chosen to explore other faiths and spiritual traditions over the years. I have come to love many of them and I have shared my interest in some of these traditions.

But, I still love the actual teachings of Jesus, even if I don’t always resonate with what Christians of different denominations say. I have enjoyed the White Eagle meditations for years and decided to present the meditation to you because of the synchronicity I received.

Here is Andrew Harvey’s event description addressing this issue:

Whether you identify yourself as Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or “spiritual but not religious,” you’re someone who is on a path to awaken your spiritual potential and live your life aligned with what is sacred to you.

You understand that all authentic paths deserve to be honored and lead to the divine.

Unfortunately, many people in the western world have “thrown out the baby with the bathwater” and grown disillusioned with the teachings of Jesus because of issues or challenges people have had with Christianity.

But what if there was a deeper message hidden within the essential teachings of Christ – one that could crack open your heart, ground your divinity in the body, and inspire you into sacred action in the world?

What if you could see the teachings of Jesus with fresh eyes, as a way-shower for you to embody more of your innate divinity as you join with others to co-create a more just and compassionate world?

That is exactly what renowned mystic and scholar Andrew Harvey will share with you in this groundbreaking event.

I feel like I was given some spiritual support and encouragement by being given this email at the same time I was writing this blog post because I was a little nervous about writing it. But at the end of the day, I am presenting my communications with Robin and hopefully some of my readers will enjoy it and resonate with this topic. I don’t expect to be able to please all readers at all times.

I love this event so much because it gives me a much deeper understanding of Andrew Harvey and a much greater appreciation for his writings. I have read his books for years, but have never seen a video or program by him. So, now this is my opportunity and I signed up for this free event.

This is something God, Jesus, and Robin wanted me to know about and focus on which is why I received layer upon layer of synchronicity regarding this topic. This is not a message that is going to fade away with time. This message will be with me for the rest of my life and I will always carry its impact. It tells me I’m on the right path for my soul’s growth. I plan to recite, “I am the resurrection and the life” as a mantra to see if I can receive any deeper insights.

This is the power of afterlife communication with your loved ones that involves God, your spiritual masters and favorite authors.  This all started at lunch with Robin on the 16th, with my thoughts about his ascent and thoughts about resurrection. The connection carried over into the next day. I find that so amazing. I hope you do also.

All of this about resurrection and it’s not even Easter yet!

Love,

Christina

 

 

 

 

 

Twin Trees

Twin Trees

by | Jan 13, 2019 | Twin Souls

I believe that there are lots of clues about twin souls in nature. Mirror-image butterfly wings, doves living as bonded pairs and surprise double-yolk eggs all trigger a deep response within me.

I look at my left hand and then my right and I see a metaphor, a clue about twin souls. My right hand is part of a bonded pair, with my left hand as its counterpart.

The right hand is whole. The left hand is whole. They appear to be separate. The right hand can do lots of things without needing any help from the left hand and vice versa. But they are always connected. And sometimes, many times, it is completely necessary that they work together. Typing this blog post is one immediate example. I can’t imagine typing this with one hand.

No other hand amongst all of humanity will ever be as good of a match for my right hand as my left hand. That is true for all of us. My left hand is the nearly identical counterpart of my right hand. They can work alone or together, but either way, they are always connected.

I wanted to introduce today’s topic by exploring these metaphors.

I consider myself a twin soul student, not expert. I’m always praying to understand my connection with Robin in deeper and unique ways. Nature provides an excellent classroom for students of the twin soul phenomenon.

Today, I am inspired to write about a recent experience I had that is influencing me to write about twin souls from this perspective. I feel very contemplative as I write, as this touches something deep inside of me.

On January 6, 2019, I went on a trip to a beautiful Audubon nature sanctuary with my husband.

It is an ancient forest teeming with life. Some of the trees there are 500 years old. We saw otters swimming, an Ibis family, little blue herons, raccoons and beautiful trees that I wanted to hug!

We came across some twin trees that really stood out to me. Here is a picture I took:

They felt very mystical to me. I noticed how they are connected at the base to each other, sharing the same nutrients within the water and the soil. Beneath this water, their root system is entwined. Underneath, they are one even though we cannot see it fully.

That is a lesson about spiritual oneness: sometimes, it is concealed.

Additionally, their roots are entwined underneath with the other plants around them and as such the other plants and grasses could be considered soul family members. The other plants do not look like the twin trees, but they are still all part of the plant family and bonded by sharing a common location in this ecosystem.

When I look at this picture, I see a large extended soul family.

There may be some other twins in there too, but I was not able to see them from my vantage point. These two trees stood out amongst all the rest, perhaps to teach their lesson to any with eyes to see.

The twin trees grow upward with branches extended out in a mirror image of each other. They are nearly identical in size and always connected, while still growing in their own unique way.

They are each on their own trajectory while staying in constant communication, or better yet, communion with each other. It’s the paradox of being independent on the one hand, but still conjoined on the other. Each tree is whole in its own right, but still inextricably connected to the other. These trees are a closely bonded pair.

I clearly see how the teachings of these twin soul trees apply to human twin souls.

Using Robin and me as an example, I would start by saying that we were always connected at the base, meaning our spirits, souls and energy light. We are different from the trees in that we did not know we were connected until after Robin’s death. In some ways, the trees are luckier than us. That is the true sadness I feel sometimes as his twin.

But I also feel joy in knowing we were/are connected and nearly identical spiritually, just like the trees. We were making our own individual and unique contributions to the world, just as these trees individually make their own unique contribution to the ecosystem around them. And Robin and I are connected to many others around us, whether family, friends, fans, or colleagues, who are part of our extended soul family.

Our being connected at the base (spirit level) shows up in the life parallels I’ve written about, regular synchronicity, and the overall feeling of being spiritual partners in this work we are now doing through this blog.

I was born as an African-American female into the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts in October, 1966. Robin was born on the Isle of Man in 1949 as a European (white) male. We clearly had vastly different life paths, symbolized by the trees growing in two different directions. But we were always one at the soul level, rooted and grounded.

I began my life with being connected to him by being born in Massachusetts. The Bee Gees’ song,  Massachusetts, which Robin sang lead on, was recorded in August, 1967, less than a year after my birth.

Our connection continued from there, with assistance from our family members with matching birthdates, places we lived, similar yogic spirituality, and a love for philanthropy.

The twin trees may grow apart, while still joined at the base, but they did not grow too far apart. They are still pretty close to each other.

But, it would have been impossible for me to see that before his death and years of study of his life. It took years of study for me to discover that we were close.

This touches my heart and brings me to tears to realize this now. Even though it’s been nearly 7 years since his passing, I’m still deeply touched that you can be so close to someone you didn’t even know. Robin and I were one then as we are now, only I could not see it at all. I had no awareness. Our roots were hidden underneath the water, just like the trees.

I know him now though as a strong, quiet, sweet loving spiritual being. It’s beyond amazing that he was able to pick up on my signal calling for him and get back in touch with me.

That’s the automatic nature of being twin souls, at least in our case. It is like the molecules of light that we are were automatically able to reconnect upon his physical death. We reconnected very quickly after his death.

Once his spirit was released, my life synched up with his in awe-inspiring ways, but better yet, in ways I could actually witness and be aware of, unlike while he was alive in the physical. Sometimes physical death can bring souls closer together, like in my case with Robin. But, that is a topic for another post!

Here is an interesting article about a woman on the twin soul path who also had a twin tree experience. It is beautifully written. I share this excerpt below. The bold is mine:

…Born of the same base, they stretch themselves upward to higher perspectives, equal in their stature and nature, stretching to the sky in amazing beauty. Together, but individually. Neither resting on the other for support. Towering branches of loving shade those who would come near. The roots run very deep with these two who are as ONE.

No neediness, no dependency, no struggle. Just co-existing as one in two separate bodies with no needs to see it otherwise. They are not separate from the forest of which they are a part. They are one fragment of the Whole and no more special than any other.

I feel like I received a download of information by seeing the twin trees, just like her. I hope you enjoy her lessons and additional insights and that you can relate to mine! I hope you’re enjoying the New Year so far.

Love,

Christina
