Afterlife Dream Communication: A Spiritual Salve

Afterlife Dream Communication: A Spiritual Salve

by | Jun 26, 2020 | Dreams, Synchronicity

I have had so many feelings circulating within me lately, it has been difficult to write here. There is so much pain and trauma in the world right now and as a Black woman, I have felt it acutely. I have had writer’s block and I didn’t quite know what to say here. So, I took a much needed break.

This post serves as my spiritual drain cleaner, getting the clog out, to help me get moving again. To begin doing that, I would like to pose these questions:

 What does afterlife communication with Robin have to do with a global pandemic that continues to worsen in many locations around the world, end lives, and disrupt the lives of many?

What does afterlife communication with Robin have to do with historical, systemic, racial trauma that keeps playing out like a broken record around the world?

It all comes down to being loved and supported by Robin’s spirit through afterlife communication during this time of very important social movements that I fully support and feel very encouraged by. I am not able to participate in the protests in my area due to Covid-19 concerns. Therefore, this post serves as my way of participating in the global protests. I have a lot to say.

While I participate in the protests in my own quiet way, I am deeply in need of the presence of my spiritual support team of which he is a part. Sometimes I can feel them holding my hand, guiding me and walking me through this planetary dark night of the soul. Having support from the other side is everything to me because it transcends the limitations of what people in physical bodies can do.

What Do Dreams Have To Do With It?

In April, during this pandemic, I had a dream about Robin. It was essentially about love and support. It was real and it was a visitation. It indicated to me that Robin’s presence is with me and that he does know what is going on here. Here is the dream:

 We are in my home. Robin is sitting down in a chair and I am there standing up right beside him where he is sitting. He looked like he did when he was in his 40’s with short hair which you can see here. He was not wearing glasses. He was wearing a black t-shirt and shorts. I’m not aware of any other people being around.

 

From where he was sitting, Robin looks up at me and says, “I love you very much.” I said, “I love you very much, too.”

Then he looked around the room, raised up his right arm gesturing and communicated to me telepathically, not in words, about all the things going on in the world. He was referring to the pandemic. He looked concerned.

 

I smiled at him gently and nodded, communicating, “Yes, I know.” In the dream, I was surprisingly peaceful and at ease as I stood next to Robin, looking at him. I was aware of the problems going on, but I did not feel concerned about them.

 

That was the end of the dream.

This dream means so much to me. To be completely honest, I didn’t want to share it at first. I wanted to keep it to myself as the precious and private gift that it is. I don’t share every single communication I receive from Robin because many of them are subtle, pertain very closely to my personal life, or are too complicated to explain. So, since I’m sharing it, it is for a good reason.

It illustrates my point about what afterlife communication with Robin has to do with all of the things going on. It’s about still being lovingly soul-connected to our deceased loved ones in the midst of all the pain, chaos, and trauma on earth. It has to do with the healing energy people on earth can still receive through afterlife communication if we are open to it.

Black Lives Matter

No matter what we go through here, they are around us whether we are aware of it or not. They are aware of what is happening here. I am convinced of that. I hope that around the world, deceased loved ones are able to break through the layer of stress surrounding the earth plane to reach their loved ones and deliver an uplifting message of spiritual love.

The love that I exchanged with Robin in my dream comes from knowing each other in the spirit world, long before we reconnected at the time of his death in 2012. It is our soul energy that is very familiar to each other. As I have mentioned before, in 2012, around the time of his death, I strongly intuited that Robin is a member of my soul family from the spirit world. The communications I have documented on this website bear witness to that connection. I know my connection with Robin’s soul did not begin in 2012. I was awakened to and reminded of our connection in 2012.

It’s God’s love, Robin’s love, and my ancestor’s strength and love that keep me going during these very difficult times. I admit things are wearing on me a bit, living in this world. It’s one thing after another. Maybe you feel the same way at times.

What Do Twin Souls Have To Do With It?

Over the years, I have often read in twin soul/flame literature that one of the purposes of the twin connection is to “raise the vibration” of humanity. But what does that mean in a practical sense? “Raising the vibration” implies evolving to a higher level spiritually as a society, as a world community. Higher levels of spirit always pertain to love in some way.

But, how can we “raise the vibration” of humanity when we can’t even evolve past our homicidal impulses, obsessions, and prejudices around skin color? This is complete body-consciousness at the basest level, with absolutely no consciousness of the divine soul light of a God-created human being.

The moment a human is born into this life, he or she is rank-ordered according to their skin color. People will deny this, but some things are true whether you believe it or not… or whether you want to believe it or not.

If you have a lighter skin tone, in most countries of this world, you get to be at the top. If you have dark skin like I do, you get relegated to the bottom. No amount of sending love and light, holding crystals (which I happen to love), prayers, chanting mantras, and sprinkling pixie dust on things has changed this painful fact of life…for centuries.

It is far more painful for some of us than others. People are protesting in the streets right now because innocent people have lost their lives due to this “rank-ordering” according to skin color.

But this false hierarchy is something humans have created. It is not of God and it is not of love. In God’s eyes, nobody is at the top and nobody is at the bottom, and certainly not because of skin color which the Divine created in the first place.

To illustrate this point, I have a story to share with you. Close to 30 years ago, I dated a man from Germany. He was an exchange student in the U.S. working on his medical degree. I was working on my doctoral degree in clinical psychology and we met in a class we mutually attended. He is white, so we were an interracial couple. I was always open to dating men from different backgrounds before I was married because there are wonderful men coming from all different types of backgrounds.

One evening, as he was driving us home from a date, he looked over at me and said, out of the blue, “You’re at the bottom of the totem pole.” I looked him dead in the eye and said, “I’m not at the bottom of anyone’s totem pole.” He became silent after that. The comment really hit a nerve in me.

That relationship didn’t work out. No surprise there. But, I remember his comment very well. This notion of Black people being at the bottom is very well embedded into the collective psyche of this world.

I was working on an advanced psychology degree when my ex-boyfriend made that comment. He still saw me as being at the bottom because of my skin color. Really? I remember feeling, “What exactly do I have to do to no longer be stuck at the bottom?”

This is what I do: I don’t accept the totem pole at all, and I certainly don’t accept being relegated to the bottom of it just because I’m Black. I don’t accept any Black or Brown person as being at the bottom of some stupid, illusory totem pole and I don’t care what we do for work.

“Raising the vibration” of humanity means dismantling the foolish, racist, sexist totem pole. You can do that by actively choosing to treat all people with dignity and respect, not as invisible or inferior, no matter what their race, gender, and ethnicity is.

The question is, does humanity really want to dismantle it? Because that means true equality for each human being. It means to stop automatically seeing Black and Brown people as inferior and at the “bottom” because of our skin color. It is wrong and we are not going to stand for it. We are spiritual beings too. God created us too.

When you see BIPOC (Black and Brown, Indigenous, People of Color) out protesting, this is one of many reasons why: we have had enough of being viewed and treated as belonging at the bottom due to some supposed inherent flaw in our nature. Black people get the death penalty for the most minor of crimes…or even no crime at all. This isn’t right.

Are you surprised that we would rise up and fight against this? You shouldn’t be. Contrary to popular belief, we are not “professional victims”. Look at the picture of Dr. King at the beginning of this post. We had to do it in 1963 and we still have to do it in 2020. Social change and growth is cyclical. It’s coming around again because it was never dealt with fully in the first place. Mr. George Floyd’s murder was the last straw. It opened the floodgates of repressed hurt, anger and trauma that has been building up for years.

In my opinion, you cannot talk about twin souls, rays, and flames “raising the vibration of humanity” unless you are willing to acknowledge and do something on a personal level to help eradicate “isms” and phobias: Racism, Islamophobia, sexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, transphobia, and other spiritual and religious prejudices. There are always people who think that what they believe is better than other people’s faith. Some will even kill you because of this belief.

Saying “No More!”to these energies is part of raising the vibration of humanity whether you are aware of a twin soul connection or not. I feel like the clock has been ticking for a long time on these issues and time is up. We can’t eradicate all of this all at once, but we can chip away at it little by little.

Any twin flame authors that state that we can “raise the vibration” of humanity through unconditional love, without doing the hard work of rooting out the weeds of these pernicious “isms” and phobias are simply kidding themselves at this point and engaging in spiritual bypass. Humanity means just that: all of us, even those some consider undesirable, even those who are different from the people you are accustomed to.

Conclusion

This is all I can write for now. I’m going through my own process of healing a lifetime’s worth of racial trauma that I have not processed fully. The murders of African Americans in the U.S. stirred up a lot of pain within me. I have felt shell-shocked for several weeks now. It is disheartening that these events are occurring to such an extent that I felt the need to write about them here.

This post has served as a little bit of spiritual Drano, but unfortunately, there is still a lot of clog left that I have to deal with. Soul communication with Robin helps a lot though. All afterlife communication is soul communication.

I have written letters on behalf of Ms. Taylor, participated in virtual protests and donated money to help the cause of uplifting black lives. Still, I’m simply not at my best. I’m sure many of us are not. I hope you understand where I’m coming from. This year has just been a lot. I wish I could go back to June, 2019 for a moment to catch my breath. And I haven’t had it even half as bad as many people.

All my best to you until next time. I look forward to sharing more communications from Robin with you in the near future. Unless something changes and I have more to say, I plan to write a post once a month going forward.

Just know that he’s around in a vibration of love and aware of what is going on. That is my personal experience with him as I shared with you. If he were still alive here in the physical world, I feel very confident that he would be making a musical contribution of some kind that affirms Black Lives Matter.

Addendum

On June 26th, the day after I wrote this post and submitted it for publishing, and less than 24 hours after doing so, I received an amazing synchronicity.

I checked my email that morning and noticed one from a website called Word Genius. I did not subscribe to receive emails from this website. I started receiving them out of the blue on June 24th.

The interesting thing is that the word for June 26, 2020 is totem! Here is the link with the definition and some historical information.

For me, it is very affirming to receive this synchronicity. It leads me to feel that I am on the right track writing about the totem pole issues for my own healing and to make a contribution. It also affirms again that Robin’s spirit is with me in all of this.

I have always been amazed by synchronicity that connects back to Robin’s spirit so directly and within such a short time frame. I personally feel that there are loving, Universal energies supporting my connection with Robin. The synchronicity makes me feel so close to his spirit and I’m so grateful for that. This spiritual closeness has wonderful, lasting benefits. That’s what afterlife communication has to do with it!

Eight Years in Spirit: Sacred Moments with Telekinesis

Eight Years in Spirit: Sacred Moments with Telekinesis

by | May 15, 2020 | Synchronicity, Telekinesis

May 20, 2020 marks the eighth year since Robin passed away. His passing date anniversary is always a time of great personal reflection for me.

Even with all of the afterlife communication I have shared with him over the years, some of which I have passed along to you, I still have so many questions for him. If I could have a face-to-face talk with him I would ask:

  •  How have you changed and grown as a spirit since 2012, Robin?
  • What are the most important things you have learned?
  • Do you miss being in a physical body? What is it like being without a physical body?
  • Are you still singing in spirit, writing songs and perhaps sending them to someone here on earth?
  • Does the plane of existence you reside in have a name and/or number? What is it called?
  • What do your surroundings look like?
  • What are the colors of your energy light body?
  • Who do you live with?
  • What are the members of our soul family like and how many are there?
  • What past lives have we shared?
  • How did you learn how to enter into my dreams and move objects?
  • How did you find me in Colorado in 2012?
  • Since we are so good at synchronizing, how does synchronicity really work from your perspective as a person in spirit? What is the mechanism behind it?

Right now, I don’t have the answers to these questions from Robin’s perspective. I hope by posing them here, that maybe he can get through to me somehow to share some information. This also expresses my openness and readiness to receive answers to these questions. I wonder what things are like for him eight years after leaving his physical vehicle behind. Have you heard from Robin? Maybe you know some of these things I don’t! 🙂

Sacred Moments

In the midst of this pandemic, I do have some happy afterlife communication news to share with you! I received a clear sign of Robin’s presence with me earlier this month. Here is my story.

During the early morning hours on May 4, 2020, just after midnight, I couldn’t sleep. So, I decided to sit by Robin’s altar to have a chat, pray and think about some things that were on my mind.

Like you, this pandemic has affected me on many levels and I’ve had to rearrange my life in very significant ways. This is why I took some time off from writing during the month of April. As much as I love writing here, I didn’t have the mental energy to concentrate.

Tea Light Memorial Candles

Tea Light Memorial Candles

It’s not easy just surviving breast cancer and now having to deal with this pandemic on top of it. It’s potentially much more challenging for people who are going through cancer treatment right now. I have asthma too, so I have to be more careful as that puts me in a higher risk category regarding this virus.

As I spoke with Robin, I shared my concerns about the different things going on in my life, the world and the personal things that were bothering me. I spoke from my heart, saying what I truly felt about things and events.

I learned a long time ago that loved ones in spirit like to communicate from the heart. This quote from The Book of Theanna: In the Lands that Follow Death, Updated Edition by Ellias & Theanna Lonsdale elucidates this point:

Over here, the dead seek each other out authentically and fully. After initial isolation for many, the savoring of company is universal. What we seek in the beyond-the-body state is to share on heart levels. (1)

I’ve had this book for many years and early on, it informed how I approached communication with Robin and my other loved ones in spirit. It’s also a good book if you are interested in twin souls because they have a very interesting story.

Speaking from the heart is essential. It does not mean that the conversation will always be sunshine and flowers, but at least I am authentic. There is no point in trying to b.s. someone in spirit anyway. Someone in spirit who loves you will be able to tell if you are not being honest about how you feel!

So, while I was talking with him, the candle I had lit on his altar went out. I took the empty tin out of the candle holder and put a new white, unscented, tealight candle in. I pulled the wick up, but I didn’t light it at that time because it was late.

I have lit candles for Robin, Jesus, ancestors, and spiritual guides for many years. This is to honor their memory and presence in my life. It’s my way of sending them a loving message and letting them know that they are still alive to me and that I love them. I actively remember and think about them. Here is a wonderful article on the meaning of lighting memorial candles in various cultures and religions for loved ones who have died.

I continued to talk with Robin a little while longer after I replaced the candle. After I finished getting things off my chest, I was able to go to bed and get some sleep. I had a good night’s sleep after that.

After I woke up later that morning (still May 4th) and finished washing up, I went back into the room where I keep Robin’s altar. I noticed that the candle I had placed in the candle holder before I went to bed was moved outside of the candle holder! It was amazing! Here is a picture I took to remember Robin’s visit:

Robin's Candle Telekinesis May 4 2020

Robin’s Candle Telekinesis May 4 2020

As you can see, the candle is outside of the candle holder. I love him so much for continuing to visit me in ways that make his presence clear. I don’t know how he does it, but I consider this communication to be sacred.

Moving the candle was a loving response to my bearing my soul to him hours earlier. He was letting me know he heard me! Given the circumstances around this occurrence of telekinesis, I would definitely recommend opening your heart to speak to your loved ones in spirit in ways you are comfortable with. Afterlife communication is a two-way street. Speaking with loved ones in spirit in an honest, authentic manner invites a response. Be on the lookout!

After these sorts of events, I have a strong awareness not only of Robin’s presence, but God’s presence on whom I rely for love and strength.

Telekinesis from Robin has a divine quality. He has shown me that he can move objects since the spring of 2013. His movement of objects has always been quiet and subtle but done in a way that is still obvious and noticeable to me. His activity has never been the loud poltergeist activity that has been reported in other literature.

If you are new here, I invite you to see the post below on how he moved his picture on the altar I had for him in 2013.

He likes to visit his altar space and has done so many times over the years. On another occasion, he moved a starfish I had placed on his altar, to the floor. I have included this post for you here as well. The starfish telekinesis post is the most popular post on this website!

Afterlife Telekinesis with a Picture Turned Upside Down

Spiritual Significance of Starfish

When I saw the candle outside the candle holder, I was surprised because in the grand scheme of things in terms of afterlife communication with Robin, it is a relatively rare occurrence. I hold this moment of telekinesis with reverence. It’s so nice to have his spirit around me. It gives me such a boost spiritually and psychologically, which I think is ultimately the intention and point of loving afterlife communication with those who have your best interest at heart. I hope that you can get a boost vicariously as well!

Preserving the Memory of Telekinesis

After Robin moves an object, in addition to taking a photo, I always mark it in some way so I can hold on to the memory of what he has touched. There is something incredibly special about having physical objects that he has actually moved with his energy. In this case, I put a floral sticker on the bottom of the candle, coaster and the glass candle holder in which the telekinesis occurred.

I will keep the candle he moved and not burn it. I think it is extremely important to honor our loved ones who communicate in this way by keeping the items and seeing the activity as sacred. It is an act of love to reach out from beyond the veil and to come into the density and negativity of the third dimension. So, I don’t take it lightly when Robin engages in telekinesis. He had to focus his energy enough to be able to move the candle. That is something that must be honored with the deepest respect, gratitude and appreciation.

Deceased loved ones may like to increase their activity around the time of an anniversary date, such as birthdays, weddings, and passing dates. According to Carole J. Obley, in the article, Spirit Speaks: Receiving After-Death Communication:

Some spirits will place or move objects in loved ones’ homes to grab their attention. Others give messages about the appearance of specific birds or animals in relatives’ yards. The timing of these communications sometimes coincides with events like birthdays or anniversaries of the recipients or the spirits. I know of one family that receives validation from their son through various means on the date of his passing every year. (2)

It is definitely true that Robin communicates strongly during the time period around his anniversary dates. So, since his eighth year anniversary is upon us, I believe the May 4th activity is part of his anniversary communication message. He is still around! I hope many people around the world who love Robin are experiencing signs of his presence as well!

A Note to Robin on Your 8th Anniversary in Spirit

Dear Beloved Robin,

Thank you so much for the sacred gift of your candle telekinesis and your presence in my life. I pray that you are surrounded by God’s love, that your energy is strong and that you are experiencing creativity in ways we could never imagine. I love you, as so many on earth do, and you will always be remembered and cared for. 

Your smile and your music are carried in our hearts.

Love,

Christina

Conclusion

There are numerous emotional, psychological and spiritual benefits that come with active, loving soul communication with deceased loved ones. It was my intention to highlight this truth in this post.

The reality is that people are passing over into spirit life at every moment, due to one thing or another.

Given the current pandemic, I suspect that as people grieve and enter into the healing process of coping with the pain and loss of loved ones, some are going to be initiated into the art of afterlife communication.

For some, it may come quite quickly depending on their level of openness and natural abilities. I would not be surprised to hear of stories in the upcoming months about dream visits, synchronicity or telekinesis carried out by loved ones who died during this pandemic.

With this in mind, and in honor of the anniversary of Robin’s passing, I would like to close with this quote by Rumi:

 “Love and lover live in eternity. Other desires are substitutes For that way of being. How long do you lay embracing a corpse? Love rather the soul, which cannot be held.” (3)

I think this quote speaks for itself.

To all of my readers, I pray that you and your family members are well. This is a rough time all over the world in terms of health, safety and the economy.  May you be blessed with love, excellent health, prosperity and kindness in the midst of these global challenges!

May you experience a silver lining in this situation.

(Note: On May 13th, I typed the sentence above about “a silver lining.” Synchronistically, on May 14th, as I was finishing up this post, I received an email newsletter about Eben Alexander, M.D.’s Commencement 2020 address. He expressed the same sentiments about silver linings during this pandemic. So, I linked to the address above. Just click on “silver lining” to see it!)

Thank you for reading!

Afterlife Communication: Electric 3

Afterlife Communication: Electric 3

by | Mar 21, 2020 | General Communications, Synchronicity

Introduction

Thank you for visiting me here today!

I send you soft, gentle, kind, loving energies as we go through this global reset and restructuring together.

“Deep peace, a soft white dove to you.” In 2012, I said these words to Robin’s spirit. I apply them to our current situation. They come from a beautiful poem by William Sharp that you can read here. I hope you find the words soothing to your spirit.

Paisley and Poppies is meant to be a respite and a beautiful, peaceful, healing environment for you.

I would like to continue sharing stories about afterlife communication with Robin during this time. So, if you are in Quarantine City or Shutdown Town, perhaps you would like to take a break here and enjoy a story or two! It’s a nice way to connect with Robin’s loving and sweet spirit which is not in the least bit affected by any virus.

May these posts serve as a reminder that our loved ones in spirit are still with us in various manifestations. We are not alone here. We can connect with them for love and comfort.

I pray that you and your loved ones are well and finding good ways to cope. Writing here is one of my ways of coping and serving others, which I hope you will enjoy.

You get enough news of world events from other sources. Here, my primary focus is Robin and afterlife communication. Afterlife goes on! 🙂

The Power of the Number 3 in Robin’s Life

During the afternoon of January 30, 2020, I checked my email for the first time that day. This was while I was in the process of writing a previous post, Unknown Soul Connections.

I had a lot of emails in my junk folder, so I decided to look through them to make sure nothing important slipped through.

I noticed one that struck a synchronistic cord. It was about the spiritual meaning of the number 3.

The email title is, “Power and Magic of the Number Three.”

This immediately reminded me of Robin because his life path numbers, based on his birth date of December 22, 1949, are 30/3. I wrote about this previously in this post on life parallels. Also, his life path numbers tie into him being a member of a trio.

Life Parallels

Here is a brief description of the life path numbers 30/3 from the book, The Life You Were Born to Live by Dan Millman:

Those on the 30/3 life path are here to work through issues of expression and sensitivity, overcoming self doubt to express themselves and use their inner gifts to encourage, uplift, and inspire others. (1)

There is an in-depth discussion of the 30/3 life path, as well as many others here.

Over a year ago, I decided to investigate the numerology of Robin’s passing date as well. It turns out that he was on the “3” path with this date too. He had (or has) a very strong connection with the number 3. Below, I calculated his numbers so you can see:

20 May 2012

2+0+0+5+2+0+1+2 = 12

1+2 = 3

Life Path Numbers for Robin’s passing date are 12/3

I thought this was quite fascinating when I discovered this.

Here is a brief description of the 12/3 life path, again from The Life You Were Born to Live:

Those on the 21/3 or 12/3 life path are here to work through issues of creativity, emotional expression, balance, and cooperation in support of people or causes, applying their energy in positive, constructive ways to teach, uplift, and inspire. (2)

You can read more about the 12/3 life path here.

I can definately say that over the years, Robin has continued to share his spiritual energy in ways that has taught and inspired me personally in amazing ways I never could have imagined. He has maintained his sensitivity and creative abilities, which I have shared with you in many posts, such as this one on his telekinesis with spiritual symbols.

Spiritual Symbols

I spent some time on both January 30th and 31st studying the spiritual meaning of the number 3 and the various features offered through the link above.

Druid spirituality, Rudolph Steiner and Sri Aurobindo (commonly referred to in the twin soul literature) are mentioned. I have written about and studied these authors and topics, so it was very nice to see them all in one place.

If you are interested in the twin soul phenomenon, I would highly recommend reading Sri Aurobindo’s works, which I have linked above. They are absolutely beautiful and the real deal!

Unexpected Electrical Activity

On Saturday, February 1, 2020, during the early morning hours, I could not sleep yet. So, I decided to go into my office to work on some final edits for a blog post.

I was thinking about a quote I really like and wanted to add it. I typed into google, “understand that your soul is not bound by third dimensional earthly existence.”

This is a very important message, especially in times like we are living in now. The key is to connect with your soul and experience moments of being unbound by what is going on here.

I looked at a few links on Pinterest. I noticed that the quote actually said “three-dimensional” not “third.” So, I started to retype the word “three” in google to see if I could get more accurate search results. I got as far as “th…”

Then all of a sudden, the overhead light in my office went haywire and started flashing in the most unusual way. It wasn’t a normal flicker that we see all the time, like during a thunderstorm. The room went dark as it flashed several times. The light went on and off like a wave. It really startled me. It lasted for a few moments. Then it stopped and the light stayed on as normal.

My husband had already gone to bed and the house was otherwise quiet. The weather outside was also calm…no rain, wind or thunderstorms.

Things like this used to happen more during the years closer to when Robin first passed away, around 2012-2014. For example, on one occasion, lights in my kitchen flashed like Morse code. Then it just stopped. After he died physically, a lot of spiritual activity started to happen in my life that never happened before.

It has been well-documented that people in spirit engage in electrical activity to communicate.

I wondered if Robin’s spirit was with me at that moment. I know that he is not the only spirit that watches over me. But I had a strong feeling it was his spirit around me.

I said out loud, “Thank you for the visit,” because I believe it is important to always show gratitude to the loved ones in spirit who go out of their way to communicate.

I thought, “Someone around me likes this quote.” It was a little freaky…and that’s saying a lot coming from me, lol! Wow…my heart was beating fast!Afterlife Communications Bulb

After this, I did a little more reading and then went to bed. I was still thinking about who in spirit was around me.

I told my husband about the light flashing later that morning. I expressed to him that I was puzzled about what was going on and why it was flashing. I shared with him that I was going to see if I got any more information about it.

Later that evening, as I was taking a bath and finally having some quiet time, it dawned on me what was going on. The light flashed at the exact same time I was typing the word “three.” I thought, “Oh, it was because of the ‘three’ I was typing…Robin’s numbers!”

I had been thinking about his life path numbers and ‘three’ a lot in the previous days. Because of this, I felt that it was his spirit around me, flashing the light.

You would think I would have made the connection right away, but I didn’t. I had not yet made this connection when I spoke with my husband about it that morning.

For one thing, I was very startled by the activity and I couldn’t think straight right after it happened. The other reason is that I was tired and it was late. So, it took me until the evening on February 1st, later that same day, for the light bulb in my mind to go off about what was going on!

This is the second time I can recall being in the process of typing something regarding Robin when the electrical activity went haywire in my home. I wrote about this previously, which you can see below if you are new to this blog.

Electrical Activity

As I was typing and working on a post for Robin, and focused on his “three,” his energy was there in a more obvious way. There is definitely a correlation there.

It’s moments like these that I really wish I had stronger clairvoyant abilities! I can’t see anyone around me.

I know in my heart that something spiritual was going on with this situation. There was something very different about the way the light “behaved” for lack of a better word.

After my bath, I spent some more time in my office contemplating the numerology of 3. I was still charged up by all this activity around it and my new understanding as to why it happened.

At that moment, my husband came in and said he found a show that was like the t.v. show Three’s Company in Mexico!

You should have seen my face! I was having trouble keeping up with all of this. He didn’t know anything about the number three being connected with the electrical activity because I hadn’t had a chance to tell him yet.

After that, I was even more convinced that the electrical activity had to do with Robin and the energy of 3 because there was so much synchronicity around this number.

Synchronicity Care Package

On Monday, March 16th, while I was in the process of writing this blog post, and after I had typed the sub-heading, The Power of 3, I checked my email. I received a newsletter from one of my favorite therapeutic breath work websites called Pushing Beauty by Michelle D’Avella. I invite you to check it out, especially if you are an empath or highly sensitive. You may find she has very helpful suggestions for you in terms of connecting with your breath for deep emotional healing.

As I read and scrolled through the newsletter, I was surprised when I saw this:

Song of the Week
Three Little Birds by Bob Marley

It made me smile, this synchrony of threes, which is a gift during these times. The number three keeps showing up over and over again in my life lately.

This is a good example of why afterlife communication is so valuable. You get little surprise treats and signs of your alignment and oneness with your loved one in spirit!

This is one of the major spiritual advantages of afterlife communication and having loving friends and family in the spirit world. I feel the happy energy coming in from the other side right now as I write.

I’m not a Bob Marley fan per se, but I do like some of his music. I listened to the song for the first time. It has a great message which is perfect for the times we are in. Hopefully, it will help you feel a little better.

It seems I was meant to share this with you, to give you a gift and uplift your spirit since I received this while I was writing. I think it’s ok if we see it as a message from Robin too. After all, he was one of three little songbirds who made our lives more beautiful. He has the name to match too!

I love it when God and Robin arrange synchronicity care packages in the form of music for us!

Thank you for reading! I invite you to come back and visit me again here soon. I’m looking forward to receiving more signs of Robin’s spirit with me that I can share with you during this challenging time.

Until then, take good care of yourself and your loved ones.

Recovery III: May All Be Healed

Recovery III: May All Be Healed

by | Mar 7, 2020 | Breast Cancer, General Communications

Introduction

In this post, I would like to share my experiences with breast cancer recovery, as well as my prayers for the well-being of all of humanity during this global health crisis. We are all affected by this in one way or another. And, in some way, we are all recovering from something in this moment that needs to be attended to. My heart goes out to those under quarantine or directly affected by the virus at this time.

If you would like to take a break from the news, please join me as I also share a couple of enjoyable stories of how Robin’s spirit has shown up during my recovery.

This is one of the spiritual advantages of afterlife communication: it is comforting and joyful to know that we can talk to our loved ones in spirit when we are experiencing a crisis. Their presence can bring love, wonder and joy into an otherwise daunting situation. It is my personal experience that loved ones in spirit do listen and know exactly what is going on with us.

There is a lot being said about negative contagions right now and rightfully so. But, since I like to be the counterbalance, I would like to mention that love and kindness can also be contagious in a good way. These spiritual qualities are some of the best antidotes for what is going around right now.

Be the Counterbalance

It is important to flip these negative circumstances into their positive correlates. There are happy, constructive contagions that we need to remember as well. Maybe it’s the Libra in me always trying to balance the scales!

So, with all that said, here is my update and stories. I hope you like them!

A Silver Lining

I like to share my experiences with breast cancer recovery here because I know that millions of women around the world are diagnosed every year.

That means millions more family and friends are affected by it. My husband and I belong to a world-wide community. Somebody reading this post may have breast cancer now, had it and recovering like me, or know someone who does. So, in that spirit of camaraderie, I would like to share my stories with you.

Having breast cancer is not necessarily a death sentence, especially if it is caught early.

February was my month for going to see my oncologist, breast surgeon and having my diagnostic mammogram. The one I had on February 10th showed no signs of cancer for which I am very grateful.

When you are in breast cancer recovery, it is recommended that you have mammograms every six months for two years after the initial diagnosis. I am still within that time frame and will have another in August, 2020. Then, after that, if everything continues to go well, I will go back to having mammograms once a year, like most women.

I have been very fortunate to have loving and kind doctors during this experience. My surgeon is always talking about the importance of joy. She spoke with me about having an attitude of joy, even before I was about to be wheeled into surgery in 2018!

Sure, easy for her to say! At that time, I was terrified, not knowing if the cancer had spread to my lymph nodes (which it didn’t). But, I was lucky to have her. I truly admire her and so grateful for her lighthearted attitude.

She taught me that even in the midst of a life-threatening illness, I could still think of something that brought me joy. Even just hearing the word made me feel better in that moment. So, if joy can help in coping with cancer, I believe it can be applied to coping with Covid-19. May we continue to find things that bring us joy. If we look for it and invite it, we will find it

Having these wonderful doctors is a silver lining for me in my recovery journey. I wish the same for you if you are recovering from cancer or any other illness.

Some Ups and Downs

As part of my recovery, I take medication to help prevent the cancer from coming back. In November, 2019, I was switched from Tamoxifen, which I had been on since October 2018, to the aromatase inhibitor, Femara.

After seven weeks, I started to have a very bad reaction to it. I jokingly say that my husband said I was like a catatonic zombie! Not fun. I couldn’t concentrate, I couldn’t write my blog posts here, I had no interest in the holidays, I was burning up and felt like I had the flu all of the time.

This is why I did not write very much during the holidays. It was all I could do to get Robin’s Selah post up for his birthday.

I recognized I wasn’t doing very well on this and said to my oncologist that I wanted to be taken off Femara and to go back on Tamoxifen. As a survivor, I feel it is important for me to be my own advocate since I have the ability to do so. So, that’s what I take now.

I know some women don’t like it. But I want to maximize my chances of preventing the estrogen-receptor positive cancer from coming back. At least with this medication, I feel like my normal self and can function.

When I first started taking Tamoxifen, I was scared about how it would affect me. Those fears were and are valid.

Then, I recalled how one of my favorite authors, Stephen Levine, wrote about how to take medication with more awareness and consciousness in his book, Healing Into Life and Death.

Please click here to see an excerpt from Chapter 14 called, Taking Your Medicine. I include this because it may help someone in a similar situation.

This really helped me to establish a connection with the medication I chose to take. I imagined that it was my protector. I also imagined that it had only positive effects in my body. It actually did help.

This approach did not work with Femara because the medication is just too strong for my energy system. But, the Stephen Levine approach did help me become aware of the problems it was causing me more quickly than perhaps I otherwise would have. It is very important to be conscious when taking any medication, and to be fully aware of how it is affecting you.

To each her own with this issue. Maybe someone reading this is taking Tamoxifen too and understands where I’m coming from. It’s not an easy decision to make.

All of these medications have side effects. That is the reality. There are pros and cons to taking the medication and to not taking it. But, my decision to take it was made with my husband as well. You don’t have to make major medical decisions all on your own if you don’t want to. Input from loving, supportive and understanding family members and friends can be very helpful. If you don’t have loving family members, I hope you have good doctors that can help you make the best decisions.

When it comes down to it, I want to spend whatever is left of my life making the most of it, not worrying about the cancer coming back. Remember Memento Mori, especially given everything that is going on in the world. Maximize your time here to the best of your ability.

How Robin’s Spirit Shows Up During my Recovery Journey

Any sign of Robin’s spirit with me brings me great joy. So, I have a couple of stories to share with you that reveal how his energy is with me in surprising ways, when I least expect it.

Part 1: Lumpectomies and Saturday Night Fever (Yes, really!)

Last November, I mentioned that I had a lump in my right calf, which turned out to be benign. Around that time, on November 15th, I had been doing lots of research on benign conditions of the leg, like cysts, while I was waiting for my leg biopsy results.

Actually, after the biopsy on November 12th, I could not feel the lump anymore, so I figured it was a cyst which collapsed as a result of taking the tissue sample.

Even though I was researching conditions of the leg, I saw a breast cancer story by Deborah Copaken Kogan, Executive Editor of Everyday Health come up in my search. Here it is. If you have had breast cancer, I’m sure you will be able to relate to her story. I can.

I read through her story. Then I came to the fun part, which to me was a sign of Robin’s presence with me in a most amazing and unexpected way.

Here is the quote:

“Wow,” said the next radiologist I saw. “There’s a giant party going on in your breasts.” I pictured the dance floor scene from Saturday Night Fever, my seven breast lumps in place of John Travolta and his buddies, doing the hustle… (1)

We scheduled more biopsies, during which the radiologist overseeing them said that my MRI films were so unusual, so odd, he would be using them that week at his teaching hospital, as a case study. (As a case study in what, I wondered, disco boobs?) (1)

I had to laugh when I saw this! I love her sense of humor, God bless her. I thought, of all places to see a reference to the Bee Gees and Saturday Night Fever.

Here is the video from the article:

The funny thing was, this was several hours after I finished writing the Sesame Street Synchronicity post. I had just been looking at Sesame Street Fever videos all day. It seems I was a magnet that day for finding this article!

We even get a reference to “disco boobs.” The doctor said that was a party going on in her breasts. If a doctor said that to me, I would have laughed and said it’s more like a demolition crew, haha!

Hey, you may as well have fun with it.

My surgeon said that cancer cells in the breast look like a “starry night” in mammogram imaging. I thought that only a beautiful soul like her could come up with that metaphor for something that can take you out! Thank God for these gentle doctors who try to lessen the blow. I love them.

Starry Ceiling

Part 2: Stage 4 Breast Cancer Survivor and Robin’s Birth Date

I have one more story to share. Recently, during the first week of February, 2020, I did some research on women’s stories after they found out they had stage 4 breast cancer. I went to this website, https://www.breastcancer.org/. A lot of the stories are encouraging and I admire the strength of these ladies.

I saw a list of stories, and scrolled down through them, but I did not click on any. Then, I saw one that inspired me because she was talking about enjoying life. It is by DivineMrs.M.

In the brief excerpt that I saw on the web page, she talked about how she was traveling, gardening and enjoying life to the fullest even though she had stage 4 breast cancer. So, I decided to click on the link to read the rest of her story. I was so surprised when I saw what for me was the presence of Robin’s spirit with me. The bold is mine for emphasis:

“I was a woman in my early 50’s in good health, married for over 20 years with a son in his senior year of high school (who got yearly mammograms since the age of 40) when almost four years ago, on December 22, 2010, I felt a thickening in my left breast. This was six days after my annual mammogram. Within a month, I learned it was estrogen-positive, HER2-negative stage IV breast cancer. (2)

There was Robin’s birth date, December 22nd, in the first story I clicked on. I have a heart connection with his birth date numbers, so this was very powerful, meaningful and beautiful for me. It was such a nice surprise gift.

Loved ones in spirit like to communicate with meaningful numbers, like birth dates and anniversaries, to let us know they are there. You can read more about this and other afterlife signs here.

This communication made me think of the Bee Gees song, For Whom the Bell Tolls. It’s so beautiful and I usually tear up when I listen to it.

I think of it because Robin poignantly sings, “I promise I’ll be there.”

Indeed he is. In different ways, as some of you have also experienced. He had a good way of leaving afterlife messages behind in his songs. It is like his soul was speaking through the songs, leaving us hints that his presence would still be around. That is how I perceive it and it is wonderful to feel that at times like these.

I wish I knew what the book is at 3:02 into the video.

Closing Words and Prayer

The message I have been given, through synchronicity, is that it is important to stay very close to God at this time. If you don’t believe in God, I understand this won’t work for you.

But if you do, my guidance says it is very important to think about God as being close to you, filling you and surrounding you with love and health.

I also suggest thinking about loving, caring and supportive loved ones in spirit as being very close to you as well. Those of us still incarnate on earth often have a tendency to think of loved ones in spirit as being off in some far-away place. But, my experience is that they are actually very close spiritually, can interact with us and comfort us.

Paramahansa Yogananda said:

“To those who think me near, I will be near.” (3)

This also applies to God, our deceased loved ones and ancestors, guardian angels and higher guides. If you think them near, they will be near.

My wish for you is that you experience their presence during any crisis you may encounter, including this global health crisis we find ourselves in now.

I would like to close with a prayer:

May all beings experience an infusion of Divine Love.

May all beings be in touch with the Light of their being.

May all beings live from their hearts.

May all beings be fully healed in mind, body and spirit.

May God send angels to keep you in all your ways.

Thank you so much for reading!

Namasté!

Afterlife Communications: Unknown Soul Connections

Afterlife Communications: Unknown Soul Connections

by | Feb 5, 2020 | General Communications

As a result of my afterlife experiences with Robin’s spirit, I see newly engaged couples in a completely different way.

They see the best in each other, as they should. They are on their way to a life filled with love, unexpected challenges, and life-changing experiences, both positive and negative.

That is the reality of marriage. I have been married for almost 18 years, so I speak from experience. It really is a package deal. It is the message that Bruce Springsteen conveys in one of my favorite songs, Tunnel of Love.

I wonder what they truly know about each other at the deepest soul levels. And, I wonder what they don’t know about each other spiritually at the moment of their wedding.

I think back to my own wedding day and all my husband and I did not know about my soul connection with Robin, someone I had never met. After dating each other for 5 years before we got married, we thought we knew so much about each other. And we did. Yet, there was still so much to be discovered. And some of what that was would not be revealed until after Robin passed away. Then what was unknown became known.

The lesson is that there is always more to discover about yourself and your spouse because you are both evolving. Marriage can evolve to include completely unexpected spiritual bonds and experiences…if there is an openness to that.

Life is about growth, evolution and expansion to me. It is about coming into a deeper understanding of who we really are which includes who we have been, and who we have known and loved as a spiritual beings beyond our current lifetimes.

It means growing into the understanding that the person you are married to is a spiritual being with a rich, ancient history that may be unknown to you…and them. It could be a history that transcends this one lifetime. Sometimes the latent history manifests itself during an already established marriage. This is what I have experienced and been writing about on this blog.

Who Are You Really?

There are lots of shows where the weddings of couples are televised. Occasionally, I watch one for fun because I still love weddings. I look at the bride and I think to myself, “I wonder if the man you are marrying has a pre-existing soul connection with another twin in spirit that you know nothing about right now.”

I look at the groom and I think the same thing, wondering if the woman he is about to marry is connected to a soul mate in spirit he knows nothing about.

How would their knowledge of this impact their choice to marry, if at all? How would they handle being contacted by a twin, soul mate or soul family member who is now in the afterlife?

To my knowledge, not many people think about these types of things before getting married. I certainly didn’t. I had no knowledge that what has happened for me, in terms of connecting with Robin’s spirit, could happen. Nevertheless, it is true for me and others, such as the late Cornelia Kluijtmans (Cormael).

Nobody is going to tell you about this in pre-marital counseling! Not going to happen, unless perhaps it’s a spiritualist church. I’ve never been to one so I wouldn’t know.

I wonder how many other married couples are contacted by a twin or soul mate in spirit. I will never know because most people keep this information to themselves. I did for years.

The Infinity Symbols

But, it was hard keeping all of this to myself. Having breast cancer helped me get clear on the fact that I wanted to share my experiences to benefit others. I also like to share what I have read and learned during my journey. There are truly amazing, poetic authors in the world and I have shared some with you in this post.

When I was diagnosed in June, 2018, I did not know how much time I had left to live. One of the things I wanted to do at that time, which was very important to me, was to not pass away with all of my afterlife stories about Robin locked inside of me.

Even though I am recovered now, I am still motivated by the need to write what is in my heart while I am healthy and still can. I take nothing for granted. Having cancer gave me a higher consciousness, to get on with doing what I really want to do, and not waste time here. I encourage you to do the same.

Surprise Soul Connections

So, in terms of people dating, being engaged or walking down the aisle to get married, I think it is important to be aware that spiritually, there may be a lot more to a person than may currently be known.

It is important to know that a person can be happily married on earth and still have a long-standing, even ancient, soul connection with someone not currently embodied. It is also possible that this connection could manifest during some point while dating, being engaged, or married to someone else.Afterlife Communications: Play a Game of Chess

In my case, my connection with Robin manifested out of the blue with absolutely no warning. There was no way I could have known about this until it happened. I did not know I had a spiritual connection with him until after he died physically.

Surprise!!

How would you handle this type of situation?

I’m sure it depends on individual circumstances. I wrote about how I choose to honor both my husband and Robin’s spirit in the post below.

Twin Soul Connections: What If You’re Married?

As we move along the chess board of life, and the afterlife, we encounter those that we share an eternal soul connection with. Our souls talk with each other through synchronicity, dreams and other communications.

I personally believe we all have multiple, numerous soul and spiritual connections. Some of these are with people we have met and share our lives with on earth. Some of the people we are connected with are deceased and live in another realm of existence still connected with our 3D world. Some are with people we have not met during our lifetime and do not know about yet. But, they are still there and may show up when you least expect it.

Robin’s spirit opened this truth up to me.

Why do we have these connections? It can be because of various factors, such as belonging to the same soul group, being soul mates or twin souls.

Some people believe in the pre-existence of the soul. Or, that we know each other from another dimension or plane of existence.

We connect because we have valuable work to do together to benefit others, as is the case with this blog. Also, I believe we connect to uplift, love, pray for and support one another as life on earth is often quite a roller-coaster ride.

In other words, we are more interdependent than completely independent. Many of our loved ones in spirit are quite capable of participating in this interdependence. Our love and prayers benefit them and their nurturing, ongoing presence in our lives benefits us.

The Interdependent Relationship: Letting go of Codependence and Extreme Independence

There is a lot more to each of us than we know and see. We are all very mysterious in a way. We think we may know a person, but we all have multiple layers to who we are. Most of what we know about a person is only scratching the surface. Spiritually, there are very deep layers and connections yet to be discovered for many of us.

Connections Across Time and Place

I would even go as far as to say that what we know about ourselves is only scratching the surface. For example, if I have had past lives, I don’t know anything about them, where they were or who I was. I sometimes wonder if a past-life connection is influencing my current spiritual connection with Robin.

To illuminate this point, I would like to quote from Sir Edwin Arnold’s book, The Light of Asia:

 

For while the wheel of birth and death turns round,
Past things and thoughts, and buried lives come back. (1)

 

Perhaps this is why people in spirit come back to people on earth they did not know. Maybe they remember the “buried life” we once shared, even when the person on earth doesn’t.

Would it help me to know for sure if I shared a past life with Robin? I’m not sure. It depends on what happened. Maybe some things are better left unknown, at least until the time is right to know.

In this short, but interesting video, Dr. Pillai mentions that we are pulled towards people and spiritual practices we have known in previous lifetimes. I invite you to see what you think of this. I have always found this talk interesting and good food for thought. He states that being attracted towards a particular person indicates a past-life memory. I agree that this is possible.

Soul School with Robin

My connection with Robin has taught me so much that I did not know about myself, such as my ability to communicate with a person in the afterlife. I never did this before he passed away, so it has been quite a discovery.

He also taught me that I can truly trust my intuition when it comes to soul connections. His responses back to me over the years gave me the affirmation that my initial intuitive inklings about our soul family connection were spot on. That was very good for my self-esteem.

Very importantly, he has taught me, (and you!), how well a person in spirit can communicate when they have a strong message to deliver. We on earth just have to pay attention.

This is my life upon being awoken by the shock wave of twin soul energy, which some of you reading may be familiar with. This is what connecting with a member of your soul family does: it strengthens you and helps you to remember and know who you really are beyond this earth and this one lifetime.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read. I appreciate each and every visitor. I hope this post serves as a good resource for you.

I know there is a lot going on in the world that is distressing. I hope something I shared here supports you in the days to come, by bringing you some happiness.

Until next time, take care, stay safe and enjoy life to the best of your ability.
