•Do you see anything with your eyes?
•Do you hear anything with your ears?
•Do you smell anything?
•Do you sense or know anything?
Don’t disregard the answers, feelings, or hunches you receive. Listen to what your internal guidance or navigation system is saying. You’ll begin to notice how you receive guidance, and it may occur in more than one way, whether your senses or inner knowing. Continue to practice this exercise. The more you notice and focus, the more you’ll perceive and receive.
Perhaps the spirit of a person you love is with you at this very moment, next to you, above you, below you, or only half a step behind you. Perhaps he or she is waiting, desiring, and preparing to help you. Perhaps he or she is doing everything possible to let you know he or she is next to you. This loving soul is around you, near your side, entering your thoughts, and answering your prayers to serve as your helping guide.
The deceased’s spirit has entered into a whole new world that cannot be comprehended by us. His or her spirit is evolving and growing in ways we cannot imagine. Perhaps you can let the mystery unfold naturally and surrender to the unknown, while setting aside everything you’ve been told or believed in the past.
After writing this chapter over a year ago and revisiting it now, I am amazed by how my spiritual senses continue to expand. I receive communication every day through sensations on my body, usually accompanied by an inner knowing or familiarity. I usually get these feelings when something fun or wonderful is happening. I also get distinctive feelings when I am trying to make a decision or an idea enters my mind that requires action. It’s a spiritual confirmation of a “yes” to guide me.
How have you sensed the presence of your beloved person?
Imagining Heaven
“Maybe my heaven will be living as a memory in the hearts of those I loved.”
—J. Iron Word
I worked with a bereaved mother who found great relief in imagining her son in his new home, which she believed was heaven. This woman was not at the accident site when her child died, and, for a long time after his death, she kept replaying her son’s death over and over in her mind by imagining the scene of his accident. These intrusive thoughts caused her an unending loop of suffering.
Instead, when she began to imagine her son in another place—cradled in the palms of God—and no longer at the accident, she was able to shift her perspective and curb her disturbing thoughts. By changing her mind’s narrative, she came to a new, more tolerable vision of her son and where he is now. She learned how to direct her thoughts to foster healing rather than perpetuate harm.
Try this practice: Peeking into the Windows of Heaven. To continue building your sensory messages, practice this exercise now or use it during your daily time in your healing sanctuary.
Relax and open all your senses. Notice how your eyes, ears, nose, and body feel.
