The main questions I hear from people I know are;

• Are my loved ones ok?
• Where are my loved ones?
• Are my loved ones still around me?
• What happened when they died?
• Are they still in any pain?
• Were they alone or did someone meet them?

These are all questions we all ask at some point in our lives; even I ask them. They are also questions that we ask to gain comfort from a most painful, confusing and terrifying time. It is through my work with the spiritual realms that I’ve gained insight into these questions. Hopefully it will help many of you to heal from your experiences and help comfort you to know that you can reach your loved ones easily with a few simple guidelines I’ll share with you.

Firstly let’s answer some of the questions most frequently asked about the afterlife.

My loved one recently died, are they ok?

Yes! They are absolutely fine; they are no longer in any pain or suffering. When the passing took place your loved one didn’t feel a thing. They are happy now they don’t have a physical body to weigh them down or cause pain for them. Most importantly, they are being taken care of.

Are my loved ones still around me?

Your loved ones are right with you now!!! In truth they have not gone anywhere. The only change is that they have left their earthly body behind and have truly transformed into their true self. If you still your mind and ask your loved one to give you a sign that they are still around you, you will definitely get a sign. Just be open to what that sign is though. They like to surprise us.

Where are my loved ones?

Your loved ones are in a lovely place called the ‘Spirit World’. It is on the same level as the earth plane, it’s just what you could describe as the Invisible Version. You don’t need to worry about your loved ones – they are being looked after by family, friends and the angels.

Are they still in any pain?

No! Your loved one is free from pain and was so the second their spirit left their body. The spirit world is not about pain or suffering. It’s about happiness and learning, being free and able to enjoy just being you.

What happened when they died?

You must remember and understand that there was no pain at all when your loved one passed over into the spirit world. They were not alone. It would have felt something like drifting off into a deep sleep and then waking up somewhere else, only they would have been aware of everything that was happening. A loved one, a friend, an angel or spiritual guide would have been waiting for them and would have helped them ease into their new life

It is normal for us to worry about our family and friends but we must try not to worry when they pass over because they are okay. We all have understandable worries about the passing of a loved one, but you don’t need to worry. We are constantly surrounded by the angels and we can amplify their presence by simply thinking of them, asking them to draw near to us, and even imagining they are right by our side, as in truth they are. God would never let any of his children pass from one world to the next without family, friends, spirit guides and their celestial guardian assisting them, walking every step of the way with them.

WAYS IN WHICH TO FACILITATE CONTACT WITH YOUR LOVED ONES

The first thing that you can do is visit a medium that is well recommended to see if they can bring you a message from your loved one. You must remember it is not the medium that brings your loved ones, it is you. Don’t be disheartened if the person that does come to say hello to you isn’t the person you wanted as they may very well have an important message for you, and your preferred loved one may be resting, or adjusting to the spirit world.

Make an altar in remembrance of all your loved ones. This can be done with a small table or bookshelf where you place a photo of your loved ones, a vase of their favourite flowers, perhaps they had a favourite book or personal item that you could place here. Also a pure white candle, pillar or tea light to aid purity and communication would also be favourable. Remember it doesn’t have to be all glitz and glamour like in the movies, it’s important it is a true representation of the love that was shared between the both of you.

Write them a letter, just like you would to a friend you haven’t seen for a while. Ask them how they are finding it in their new home (the spirit world), also ask them about anything that is worrying you and always tell them how much you love them. Place this under your pillow before you go to sleep and your loved one may enter your dreams with the answers to your questions. You may need to do this for a few nights as it may take them a while to understand how to do dream visitations.

My favourite one, ask them to give you a sign to show they are with you. Don’t be specific on what you want the sign to be. Let them do it in their own way and surprise you. They will never do anything to frighten you. They loved you when they were on Earth. Nothing will change that. Not even passing to the spirit world.

So many issues that people experience have their roots in past life events, including phobias, anxieties and panic attacks, depression, lack of confidence, physically illnesses, sexual issues, weight problems to name just a few. By exploring and releasing the negative emotions and energy which has been locked inside a person the problem from which they have been suffering usually dissolves away, leaving them feeling free and healed.

Quite often it is the death in the past life which is causing the problem in this life, especially if the death was traumatic. Although the thought of experiencing past life death can cause apprehension for a client, the actual re-living of it is generally a wonderful catharsis which clears their issues fully and permanently.

The process involves using hypnosis, a state of pleasant relaxation which allows us to access the deep, inner mind which is where past life memories are stored. Throughout the regression the client is fully aware of everything they are experiencing, sometimes seeing and feeling in depth the past life events as if they were actually happening in the present.

A few examples from my casebook:

Gary came to me suffering from panic attacks and anxiety, which developed into a phobia of leaving his house. In our session he regressed back into a past life in which he and his family were taken out of their homes by Nazi soldiers and shot. His panic attacks and phobia vanished completely at the end of our session.

Lisa had a considerable problem with overeating. She was excessively overweight and completely out of control with her eating habits. She regressed back into a former life where she starved to death. Her eating habits became normal again and she started to lose weight.

Mary was a married woman who struggled to enjoy sex with her husband. As a result, their marriage was floundering. We discovered that in a past life in Victorian times she had been a prostitute working in Liverpool’s dockland. Her dislike of sex faded and she is now happily married.

James was a young student who had a severe needle phobia. One of his past lives involved being beheaded. He was easily able to undergo dental surgery a few days later.

Tony was overweight as a result of back problems which, despite surgery, had never been cleared up. We found that four of her past lives were causing the problem and the pain, one of which was as a German soldier who was shot by a Russian sniper. Guess where the bullet went? Straight through her lower back where she was experiencing the problem in this life. Again, clearing all of the past lives meant that the physical issue healed and she was able to resume a normal, pain-free life. She was able to start exercising and soon lost her excess weight.

Alan was obsessively insecure about his girlfriend. He was insanely jealous and struggled to let her out of his sight. We found that in several previous lives she had betrayed him, leading to his death on two occasions. He released the emotions trapped in those past lives and was able to enjoy a normal, loving relationship with her.

This is just a minute sample of the amazing healing effects of Past Life Therapy. It has to be said though that not all Hypnotherapists work in past lives, so if you’re considering undergoing a course of treatment it’s worth ringing round a few Therapists to assess how they operate. I can wholeheartedly recommend it. It really can be a life-changing experience.

The image of a thousand pieces of stone, jutting up from the land, is a blunt representative of a concept so mysterious to us is hard to comprehend when surrounded by such jovial life and vivacity, reflective of how hard it is to comprehend that they are gone from my life. It is so hard for us all to bear, almost for us to actually believe, that one day we can have someone close enough to touch and to interact with one day, and the next for them to be absent.

It is the general consensus that part of what makes living people alive is to have a functioning physical body. To function biologically; to take in oxygen, for a heart to beat within us and for blood to circulate through our veins, for it is of course at the sharp, precise point when our hearts discontinue their monotonous yet glorious beat, that we are considered to have passed away. It is the remains of our bodies which are signified by the physical presence of a grave- that morbid, disheartening representation of death. But this is not all we are.

Aside from the physical aspect of being in the world, we are also thinking, feeling creatures, alive within. Some people are extroverts; happy to be the centre of attention, loudly spoken and hilariously funny with a sharp wit, but with a more reserved side which is only exposed to those they know. Other people are quiet, brooding, thoughtful, with a dry sense of humour and high hopes for the future. We are all different inside, and the none-physical aspect of out personalities are multi-faceted. It is almost our job, as human beings, to deliver the metaphysical, underlying part of our existence out into the open world through means of physical expression. For some, it is this untouchable, invisible part of a human which makes us really, truly alive.

Think about it: it is not the physical shell of a person’s life on Earth that we miss when we are bereaved, but really, the none-physical legacy that they leave behind. It is the memories of a person’s personality, of their likes and dislikes, their hopes and dreams and the quirky ideas they would have that ultimately constitutes what their life was when they die, and indeed, what constitutes all of our lives when we are living. The name given to this part of a human’s existence is the ‘soul’. The soul is a person’s essence, their core, their inner being. It is made up of all of their internal thoughts, feelings and traits which makes a person an individual and encourages us to love them. The idea of a soul existing within us all makes the concept and the reality of death more of a curious issue.

When someone passes away, it seems like such a waste that this rich tapestry of interlinking thoughts and memories just fade away with the remains of the person’s body- but this may not be the case. The soul is said to be transcendent, to live out the material, and to be eternal in it’s existence. This means that the actual essence of a person is able to live on forever- perhaps in another life form.

Reincarnation is the name given to the process which allows the soul to enter into another body, and live again. This means that everything a person has been in life, expressed through their soul, can be directly transferred straight into another physical entity, able to express itself once more.

Reincarnation a very real possibility- it is an element of many world faiths, and is a large portion of spiritual contemplation for many people.
The idea of another chance at life is a very humbling, comforting thought for all of us. It takes away the sting and fear of death, for ourselves and for those we know who have passed away, resonating within us the opportunity to really feel what life is like within our current situations, what our souls are teaching us. Perhaps when we die, it is the end for our biological shells, our transport, if you like, but a new beginning for our essence.

Perhaps we are all conceived into empty shells, injected with life by some greater influence at the point of birth, free once more to live and to learn within another physical embodiment.
Have you ever met someone who you feel you have known before? Perhaps this signifies a previous meeting of souls. Perhaps our souls have their own ways of finding their way back to those they have loved and let go before. It could be, that the people close to you who have passed away, are emanating their love for you that was felt deep within the essence of themselves, entwined within their souls, from other, sometimes unseen physical entities all around us. Those that are gone are not always lost.

With this in mind, looking out over the graveyard is an entirely different experience. What I see is a scrapbook of memories and dedications, names carved in a tree, a map of biological goodbyes, strewn across the Earth to signify a pleasant time for our souls in this life when loved by others, only to meet again sometime in the future, to love once more.
