Heal Grief – Connect With Spirit

As the loss of a loved one can be one of the greatest challenges in life and connecting to with spirit can be a life changing experience. Whether you lose a loved one, a relationship or a job, most people feel some degree of grief when such an event occurs. Mediumship provides just one of the tools to help come to terms with the loss in a positive manner.

"As a Medium, I deliver more than messages” Amirah says, “I help to confirm that once our physical body dies, our 'spirit' lives on, and that we as spirits remain connected to relatives, friends and loved ones.."

In the case of the loss of a loved one, especially a spouse, the feeling of loneliness and concern for the future can be emotionally devastating. While grief is a normal and usually healthy response to loss, it can become unhealthy and counterproductive if it persists too long. Do you believe that grief is a feeling that cannot or should not be changed?

Susan contacted me initially because a close friend passed away and she was having problems moving on with her own life. She still felt the depression and pain of the tragic loss but felt ready to make some changes. Any skepticism Susan had about the process soon faded when her friend expressed things only they would know.

Release Guilt, Shame and Blame

Susan wanted answers to questions that plagued her. She wanted to know why her friend committed suicide and what he was doing now. She received that and more. Her friend communicated things that would happen and they did. Within a week Susan received validation to promises her friend made to her and got closure. She was now ready to move on with her life.

Forgive Yourself and the Deceased

Those who died a violent death (suicide, accident or murder) can still be earthbound. They need energetic help to take their next step along their path. You can send healing from this side of the veil to assist them in the process. In healing yourself, you heal others.

Time to Let Go

Susan didn’t know what it meant to reprogram or clear her energy. But, she did know she was lethargic with heavy depression due to her loss. Although skeptical, Susan was ready to make some changes. She was ready to finally LET GO. She was ready to allow things that were meant to HAPPEN come into her life!

Activate Hope and Faith for the Future

Later the same day, after the energy clearing, Susan felt better. She didn’t do anything different; she just felt more positive and lighter. Connecting to her friend gave her closure. She regained faith in herself. She felt hopeful again and enthusiasm for life began to bubble up from within.

Confirmation of Life After Death

As the week progressed, Susan continued to receive validation of her friend’s promises to her. Things actually happened as Amirah communicated they would. There is comfort in knowing that life continues after our spirit leaves our body.

Resolve Unfinished Business
After life communication helps you reclaim your right to live fully while helping the departed spirit go on with its own journey. When you know you can continue to communicate and resolve unfinished business, if frees you up to live fully.

Reclaiming Your Life

Susan didn’t think this could all happen so quickly and felt she could never do it alone. This was a turning point for her though as she received answers and information needed to live a happier life.

“If I can help people connect with a deeper part of themselves or someone on the other side, and bring more peace, comfort and possibly closure – then I’ve done my job.”

What Happens When We Die?

The one question that everybody needs answered would have to be: What happens when I die?

Do you know what happens when you die?

All of a sudden it dawns on us that one day we will die. When this happens, it is sudden. We are young and the question just arises. We might blurt it out to one of our parents. We might think it over in our conscious minds. Yes, even as a young child, we are capable of doing this.

We might forget exactly the first time we pondered what happens when we die. It might have been when we saw a dead bird, or cat, or some other animal. It might have been when someone was speaking about a relative or friend who had died. It might have been when somebody we knew died.

As we grow older we will encounter death more often. On each occasion we encounter death, the question of what happens when we die will always arise in our minds. Somewhere along the line the issue of death has to be resolved if we are to have true contentment in our lives.

Various views on death have us being animals that are born just to die. This is part of the biological evolutionary process and we are merely part of this biologically aimless life without any purpose to existence at all.

Evolution does not necessarily have to be restricted to biological beings. There are views that have us on an evolutionary journey of becoming more knowledgeable and morally perfect through each trans-migration of our soul from lesser beings to higher beings. In certain philosophies, this soul migration is known as reincarnation and souls can be reincarnated as higher or lesser forms of mortal beings.

Hinduism has the caste system where trans-migration of the souls depends largely upon how one lives their lives on this earth. If a soul commits crimes or sins against other people, then a demotion will result in the next reincarnation. Conversely, what is considered to be a good life, where acts of kindness and generosity are frequent, a soul can expect to return in a higher form. In Hinduism, and even in its offshoot, Buddhism, this practice continues until each soul becomes one with the universe or the all-soul.

When you think about it, just being born to die is a futile existence, and even born to be reincarnated many times in various forms as our souls trans-migrate the animal and human world to eventually become non-existent or individually unknowable is also a pointless exercise for existence.

Other views on death have us either going to paradise or perishing in Hell. These are based on a sense of justice and retribution for deeds done. Unlike the reincarnation view, where people might return as insects because of unjust actions and deeds as a human until the next reincarnation, being cast into Hell is for a much longer duration than being reincarnated. More often though Hell is thought of as a place where there is endless torment forever without escape. This in itself seems to be purposeless existence also.

Death is something that everybody has to face. The truth about what happens after death is a matter that we need to find answers for in order to give our life purpose here on earth.

Merely being born to die sucks. Merely being born to go through a series of reincarnations is also a pointless excuse for existing. So while we can devise a number of theories about what happens at death, unless we can find the truth about why we are born in the first place, then whatever we might imagine happens at death is an exercise in futility.

Why Ghosts Stay Around After Their Death, And 5 Ways You Can Avoid Making the Same Mistake

Ghosts are people who, after their death, choose not to cross over to the Other Side, for various reasons. Sometimes they've died a tragic death and they don't recognize that they're dead. Other times they're trying to work out unfinished business and on occasion they're afraid they'll experience judgment and punishment if they cross over - so they don't. Unfortunately there are many ill-effects of this short-sighted decision.

Several things happen once you leave your body. First, very few people - other than a few psychics - can see, hear or interact with you. So your existence becomes very, very lonely. Second, after you die you can hear others' thoughts and feel their feelings. This might be entertaining in the short term, but in the long term it's demoralizing. (Think about the amount of greed, hatred and suffering in the world.) And third, your life is over at this point. There's nothing left for you to do here and your life becomes empty and depressing, which is crazy-making.

Ghosts don't consciously choose this miserable life, no more than the living consciously choose to live tragic and depressed lives. But, like the living, they end up in this sad existence because they haven't faced the challenges and spiritual lessons of their lives. Here are 5 ways you can avoid making the same mistake with your life:

1. Face Your Fears - This may seem easier said than done, but ultimately everyone has to face their fears. If you don't they will, like a ghost, haunt you for the rest of your life. Unresolved fears have a way of re-presenting themselves in your life again and again until you learn how to face and overcome them. Every ghost I've ever met has tried to run from their greatest fears, to a futile end. Just remember, there is always an answer and a way through every challenge you face.

2. Seek Out Healing - If you've been abused, emotionally or physically, seek out healing. There are many wonderful resources available today that can offer real solutions and real healing. Most of the ghosts I've encountered were too afraid to seek out the healing they needed, and as they suffered in life, so they suffered in death. If you've been 'burned' by therapists or support groups and are not willing to reach out, then consider my book All You've Ever Known to help you chart your own course into real healing (at the All You've Ever Known website ).

3. Resolve Your Conflicts - People who become ghosts have not found meaning in their experiences, particularly the challenging ones. They stay mired in the distress and the resentment and fail to find a path beyond it all. If you're going to live a healthy life and interact with others, then regretfully, dealing with betrayal, disagreements, and ignorant and childish behavior is a part of life. You'll find the serene, inner peace you're looking for when you can find the spiritual reasons for the unpleasant events of your life as well as a way to evolve beyond them.

4. Learn to Let Go - Though it may not always look like it, as an empath I can tell you that life is hard for many, many people. We all experience pain, mistreatment, injustice, loss and inequity, and you have to find a way to resolve your hurts in order to create a happy and rewarding life. I've met several ghost brides who stayed on the earth long after their death because they couldn't get past the betrayal and abandonment of being left at the altar. In order to heal and put the past behind you, you need to tap into Divine Guidance for direction and healing wisdom.

5. Strive to Learn and Evolve - Not once have I ever met a ghost who had invested their life bettering themselves. I've met several ghosts who lived very religious lives, but none who were serious about learning and evolving. Truly, they were simply too afraid.

Strive for spiritual and personal growth and you will have the one thing that ghosts do not - a connection with a Divine force that will guide you throughout your life and beyond. If you'd like to learn how you can successfully overcome your fears, find healing, resolve the conflicts of your life, learn to let go, then get connected with All You've Ever Known, a book that will help you to do all of these things and more.

Is a Loved One Trying to Reach You From the Other Side? 5 Ways to Know For Sure

Our deceased loved ones reach out to us constantly, and they do it in every way they possibly can. They want us to feel their presence so we’ll know that they are well and that they are not gone. There are many different ways our loved ones try to contact us, some ways are overt, others are more subtle. When you learn to recognize these cues from them, you can enjoy the love and the comfort they are sending to you.

I'm often asked if our deceased loved ones think about us, can see us or give any thought to our experiences once they’ve crossed over. The answer is yes, absolutely.

In fact, when our loved ones leave their bodies and go to the Other Side they become acutely aware of subtleties they might not have seen when they were bound to their human body. Our loved ones are aware of what we feel, our joys and our sorrows and they know the challenges we face. They know about our accomplishments and our celebrations and they know of our losses, too. Typically, they know what’s about to happen in our lives before we do.

They're also less encumbered emotionally than they were when they were here. So, they're often more able to offer much needed love and support and encouragement than they might have when they were here.

Someone once asked me, "If our loved ones are in heaven and they have everything they could need or want, why would they want to come back here?" Let's turn that question around for a moment.

If you left today, think of how determined you would be to keep up with your loved ones as time moved on. Quite naturally you would want to come back to see your children marry, you'd be checking in on them to know if they were happy, and if not, why not. If you could offer them any guidance to help them, you would; and you’d try every way possible to get that guidance to them in a way that they could see or hear or feel it.

You would want to know what type of parent they'd become, you'd want to be there for the birthdays, the holidays and the celebrations. And when a child's or parent's or other loved one's life was over, you'd want to be there for them when it was time for their transition.

The love we share in our relationships continue on, even in the face of death. Because of that, it's a very natural instinct for those we've known and loved, who are now on the Other Side, to reach out to us. Here are a few ways they do that:

1. Dreams - Our dreams are one of the easiest ways for our loved ones to reach us. At night, when we're deeply asleep, our resistance and our disbelief relaxes; so it makes it easier for our loved ones to make themselves seen and heard. When we're awake, it's too easy for us discount our mystical experiences as a coincidence or a trick of the mind. The mother of a friend of mine deeply enjoyed her frequent, dream-time visits from her husband after he died. She would wake up the next morning feeling deeply loved and connected to him. Our dreams are an open field for our loved ones to be seen and deliver messages of love and comfort. Pay attention to how you feel after you’ve seen a departed loved one in your dreams and notice how healing those visits are for you.

2. Music - Sometimes those from the other side get our attention through certain songs or lyrics. They're able to bring our attention to the words and the melodies that have a special meaning.

3. Books - During a reading with a client, his close family friend from the other side told me that she made her presence known to him by picking out books for him. When I asked him what she meant by that he told me that when he was in book stores that books literally fell off the shelves and into his hands. He often found significance in the titles and sometimes the content of the books. It made him realize she was still watching out for him and had his best interests at heart.

4. Etheric Scents - Sometimes loved ones from the Other Side make themselves known by bringing memorable scents to our attention. These smells might resemble a perfume or after-shave they wore, or a favorite drink or cigar they used to enjoy. When Terri smells cigarette smoke (when no cigarettes are around) she knows her uncle is near. When Tom smells homemade chocolate chip cookies for just a brief moment (when none are present) he knows that's his Grandmother's way of letting him know she's with him and watching over him.

5. Overt Messages - Our loved ones know about special opportunities to make their messages known well in advance of their happening. Lena, a writer, and her mother walked through the airport on their way on to their vacation. There was construction going on in certain areas of airport so bare sheet rock was often visible as they made their way to their gate. As Lena got off the escalator with her mom, she had a sense of her recently deceased and much loved uncle. She looked to her left and saw the words that were printed on the sheet rock were cut off such that they revealed his name. "Look Mom," said Lena, "it's uncle Rocco letting us know he's still with us."
