Knowing is just the beginning...

This past weekend, I posted a tweet about looking for the signs our departed loved ones leave for us.  Today, I thought I would expand on that idea and share with you a post I wrote recently for livepsychicanswers concerning messages from our departed loved ones.

We all have to learn to accept the beautiful messages from the spirit world, even when they aren't exactly what we want or expect to receive.  Messages from the loving spirit world are meant to help us heal, grow into our spiritual path, and understand that love is what it's all about in life and the afterlife.

Many years have passed since my mother died , but she was able to give me a strikingly unusual sign for me around the time of her death. Our dog, Molly, always left some kibble behind in her bowl and that day it was lined up in a particular way on the towel beneath her dog bowl.  This was not a prank or a unique trick, but I already knew by the way it was done that it was my mom stopping by. She had done this for Molly when she was a small puppy. Dave and  I were on the west coast at the time and did not make it back before mom died.  This troubled me because I was the third child and a bit of a miracle baby.  I grew up hearing from friends and family that I would be the one to care for her and hold her hand at the end.  

A few months ago, Mom came to me in my dreams and left a rather firm and loud message along with the image of the beautiful Christmas cactus plant in our home.  This plant was the last present  we received from her before she died.  Every Christmas and Easter since, it has bloomed like clockwork without any special care.  I always knew my mom was probably around me at those times, but I never really felt her energy in the same way I did other relatives. I have seen, felt and heard from my Dad and he has come through in readings for myself and others to help. Christmas and St Patrick's Day are both times when I sense or see him the most as these were significant holidays for him.

This year was different and  knowing my mom, she probably had a lot of catching up to do in the afterlife and is just now getting around to visiting in a more obvious way. (laughing)  There are many reasons, but I think mostly for myself, it was the timing.  She was always very present in life when I was struggling with major changes or problems and continues to do so in the afterlife.  I never doubted that she could hear me and have always kept her close in my heart.

Please know that your deceased relatives are there for you. The simple act of knowing will bring you closer to them.

Knowing is just the beginning for six sensory beings.
