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.

Hurricane Aftermath

Hurricane Aftermath

by | Sep 6, 2019 | General Communications

I hope all of my readers around the world are well. If any of you are affected by Hurricane Dorian or any other typhoon or hurricane during this active tropical season, I hope you make it through well. My heart goes out to you.

I was in the “cone” for awhile, but Hurricane Dorian did not hit my area. I am heartbroken for the people of the Bahamas and the devastation they endured.

I had the good fortune to vacation in Freeport many years ago. I want to acknowledge all that the beautiful people there are going through and will be going through for a long time to come.

Our love and compassion is greatly needed. Lots of support will be needed there for relief and recovery. This is the time for brotherly and sisterly love and to help if we can.

I have been through many hurricanes including Fran, Frances, Jeanne, Wilma, and Irma. I evacuated for Frances and Irma, so I am well seasoned with this situation. As I am writing this on September 3rd, Hurricane Dorian is still churning off the east coast of Florida, hopefully sparing residents any sort of damage.

But, I have never experienced what our brothers and sisters in the Bahamas just experienced from Dorian. It brings tears to my eyes to see what has happened. The trauma hits on every level.

Given the current situation, I thought I would briefly honor how the Bee Gees supported relief and recovery efforts for another powerful hurricane, Hurricane Andrew. Robin was very familiar with the destruction hurricanes can bring.

As you know, the Bee Gees had homes in Miami Beach at the time Hurricane Andrew went through. For this short post, I wanted to share how they had kind, loving hearts and participated in Hurricane Andrew relief efforts including concerts.

In this book preview, you can read more about how Robin and his family assisted after this hurricane here.

This is all I feel like writing for this week. I’ll get back to writing about afterlife communication with Robin soon.

May you be loved, blessed, protected, safe and healed wherever you are. May loving kindness be yours.

Love,

Twin Soul Reminders: Life Stories

Twin Soul Reminders: Life Stories

by | Jul 19, 2019 | General Communications, Synchronicity

Just as the right side of the human body is always sending signals to the left side of the human body, I believe that twin souls are energetically conjoined and are always sending signals to each other, even when separated by continents and being completely unknown to each other.

We are always sending signals to each other even after death when residing on different planes of existence. The signals can become even stronger when this is the case. It can seem like your twin soul mate is following you or walking by your side even while they are in the afterlife.

Sometimes, the signals are sent through other people.

In the past, I have written about how characteristics of Robin show up in people around me (See Maying in December post). It is an incredibly interesting phenomenon and amazing to experience.

My personal experience is that when you have a twin in spirit, people on Earth can reflect some of their essence or very particular traits about them that really stand out. The miracle is that you can actually meet these people in the most unexpected ways.

Mirrored Life Stories

On June 24, 2019, my husband and I were driving on the interstate on the way to a dental appointment. But, we got a flat tire and had to cancel it. We called AAA for assistance. Instead of driving with a spare, we decided to be towed to our garage where we could buy a new tire.

My husband and I sat in the front seat with the tow truck driver. He was a nice guy and a good conversationalist. He started telling us stories about the different experiences he’s had as a tow truck driver. It seemed like he had some things to get off of his chest and I enjoyed hearing his stories.

Somehow, we got to talking about some of the other jobs and experiences he’s had in his life.

He talked about how he went through a divorce which was due in part to being away a lot working in the shipping industry. On one occasion when he came back, his house was foreclosed on. He said he did not see his children for 12 years, but has since reunited with them and even attended his daughter’s wedding.

As he was talking, alarm bells were going off within me. This story made me think of Robin. I felt like I was talking to him in another person because Robin’s life story has very close parallels.

I had read about Robin’s life story years ago and was aware of his divorce to his first wife and estrangement from his young children.

This gave me the opportunity to respond compassionately to this man in the way I would have responded to Robin had I had the opportunity to talk with him about this.

It was a rare and healing moment. It’s a perfect example of how a twin’s life story can show up in another person you are with. It may not always be the most positive of stories that you hear when it comes to your twin (or other loved one in spirit), but it will definitely be something that will get your attention.

I’m amazed by this because of all the tow truck drivers in the area, we met one with a very similar life story as Robin’s. He not only had the story, but was willing to share it. Or maybe there was some spirit orchestration going on there.

This may be a fairly common life story for many people, but I cannot remember anyone sharing a story like this with me in such precise detail.

I’ve never been grateful for a flat tire, but in this case, I was grateful.

Twin Soul Reminders: Four Key Factors

In case you are not familiar with how Robin’s life story matches our tow truck driver’s, I will outline this for you now. Then you will see why I felt like I was talking with him through this person.

There are four parallel factors that I would like to highlight. Please click on the links for more information about this aspect of Robin’s life story. I share these stories with no judgment on my part because I love Robin unconditionally as my spiritual partner and member of my soul family. Sometimes divorce is a part of life that hopefully the parties involved can grow and learn from.

I’m sharing the brief excerpts so I can demonstrate the parallels with the tow truck driver and why he reminded me of Robin:

  1. Divorced due in part to long separations because of work:

These excerpts are from The Ultimate Biography Of The Bee Gees: Tales Of The Brothers Gibb.

Regarding Molly, Robin’s ex-wife:

On May 22, 1980, Molly told reporters, “I have hardly seen Robin for the past three years, and I have sadly come to the conclusion that our marriage is over. There is no one else involved, but there comes a point when a woman has to say she has had enough. I have filed for divorce and the papers are due to be served tomorrow. (1)

According to Tom Kennedy:

“Of course, he was away a lot of the time, and when they had the children, she brought them up on her own … The discipline came from Molly … because Robin would spoil them because he didn’t see them all that often. There were times when she was living in [England] and he was a tax exile. It was a difficult existence.” (2)

  1. Not seeing children for many years:

Here are some details from The Telegraph in a 2008 article by Olga Craig:

Before long the constant touring took its toll on Gibb’s marriage to his first wife, Molly Hullis, with whom he had two children, Spencer, 30, and Melissa, 28. Divorce was inevitable and Molly was granted custody of the children when they were six and four. She forbade him to see them. Gibb fought a lengthy, but ultimately unsuccessful, court battle and didn’t see his children for six years. (3)

From The Ultimate Biography Of The Bee Gees: Tales Of The Brothers Gibb:

Robin went on to reveal that a considerable financial burden had been placed on him over and above any emotional ones. Clearly hurt by the whole business, he explained that the money aspect was only part of his unhappiness, claiming to have seen his children Spencer and Melissa only once during a three-year period. “I have had to pay out at least £ 1 million, but there were other things, too, that destroyed me emotionally.” (4)

  1. House-related problems:

When our tow truck driver came home from being away at work, he found that his house had been foreclosed on. Robin went through a traumatic incident with his home upon returning as well. What the tow truck driver said reminded me of this, although the circumstances are different:

From The Ultimate Biography Of The Bee Gees: Tales Of The Brothers Gibb:

He (Robin) alleged that, with the knowledge of the local police, he and a private detective had broken into the couple’s Weybridge home the previous summer to get evidence of the purported conspiracy. Police confirmed that an incident was reported in August, 1980, in which he broke into his home after telling police that he needed to do this because he had no keys. “I got into the house by smashing a window…” (5)

  1. Reconciliation with children years later:

For Robin and his children, this story had a happy ending as they were able to reconnect and create loving relationships with each other. This 2008 article from The Telegraph by Olga Craig goes into detail. Here is an excerpt mentioning their reconciliation:

Eventually, when Spencer was 12 and Melissa 10, he was granted a meeting. He knew it would be a delicate balancing act. ‘I was too nervous for tears,’ he says. ‘Re-establishing myself as their dad was slow and hard.’ The turning point came when the children would ring up saying they wanted to come and see him. ‘Then it got to the stage where they would just arrive unannounced, that was the best moment.’ (6)

Note: Just because I refer to an article here does not mean I agree with all of the opinions expressed in it. Some of the remarks made about the Bee Gees’ music are less than complementary and I don’t share the same viewpoints. I include the articles because they are references and provide the information I need to make my points. In this case, I could not find this information in any other location. The Daily Mail has information, but FYI, their site is infected with malware as of July 16, 2019, so I did not want to include their articles. Thank you for understanding!

You can see lots of pictures of Robin with his children here showing their reconciliation. I’m so happy that they reconciled, were able to be close and share their lives together!

Sometime Signs Are Not What You Would Expect

I had mixed feelings about writing this post because a part of me did not want to write about the more painful aspects of Robin’s life. But, it’s a good example of a strong reflection of him in another person, so I decided to share this in as respectful way as possible.

It’s also important to be real and show the truth of a person’s life, the ups and the downs. Robin went through a lot and you can feel the pain of what he went through in the above excerpts that I shared. It’s important to know who someone really is and what they’ve been through. This shapes who they are and how they interact with the world.

Our tow truck driver was certainly a reminder to me of what Robin went through. If you are following this website, it’s also good for you to know more about him as a person and what he went through personally (if you didn’t know already).

People in the public eye are human beings who go through hurt, pain and difficulties like the rest of us. The difference is they are going through it publicly with a great loss of privacy. That adds to the pain. That’s why I feel that fame is a double-edged sword.

Robin was living his life as best he could to serve humanity through his music. This was what he was meant to do in this life, along with his brothers.

There are so many pressures in the music business that I could not begin to imagine. Sometimes relationships and marriages don’t make it. If we could walk a mile in Robin’s shoes, maybe we could understand a tiny fraction of what it felt like. I realize I cannot know or fully understand.

Spiritual Twins: Different Lives

Even though I share numerous life parallels and synchronicity with Robin that cause me to feel twinned with him, my life is completely different from what his was like. It’s quieter and much more private. I would say we are on opposite ends of the spectrum in that regard.

I have no idea what it’s like to be in the public eye as a famous singer or in any other capacity. I have never gone through a divorce and I do not have children. I have traveled to several different countries over the years, but nothing on the scale of travel of what Robin experienced. I’m an introvert and like to be alone a lot, so I don’t think I’d do too well with being in the public eye. So, I just offer compassion, empathy and understanding to him.

Note: While I was just reading and editing the above text about how I’m an introvert, I heard my husband talking on the phone in another room telling someone that he’s kind of introverted! This type of synchronicity with Julian happens a lot when I’m writing for Robin. 🙂

Given how different our lives actually were/are, it’s amazing that I do share so many parallels and synchronicities with Robin that appear in my everyday life. Such is the nature of spiritual connections. They transcend earthly differences across all levels, time and space.

I believe that one of the reasons I have this soul connection with Robin is to share how two people, who appear extremely different externally, can match, mirror and synch up in ways that show we are one on a deeper spiritual level. This is a message that needs to be reinforced.

I feel that on this day in June, Spirit wanted to get a strong message across to me about Robin. I felt his presence there with me when we were in the somewhat scary situation of being stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire with cars going by at 80 miles an hour. It was nice to have a reminder of Robin’s presence. This is how our loved ones in spirit communicate. They mysteriously know how to show up in the right place at the right time through other people.

After Death Communication: Continuing Your Relationships

After Death Communication: Continuing Your Relationships

by | Jul 12, 2019 | General Communications, Synchronicity

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

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

Closure? Not Necessarily

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

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

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

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

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

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

Deceased Loved Ones You Did Not Meet

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

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

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

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

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

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

We Knew Each Other

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Connecting with Robin in Faith

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Say “YES” outloud to your life Christina.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Twin Souls: Ancestral Spiritual Connection

Twin Souls: Ancestral Spiritual Connection

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Twin Soul Ancestor of Spirit

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Benefits of Connections with Twin Soul Spirit Ancestors

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Conclusion

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

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

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

All my best to you and thank you for reading!

Afterlife Communication: Numbers and Dates

Afterlife Communication: Numbers and Dates

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

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

Poetry from Around the World

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

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

I found some good links for French and Italian poetry.

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

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

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

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

The Significance of 520

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Staying Connected  Across Dimensions

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love,

Christina
