Help From Beyond the Grave!
July 12th, 2010 by jim1537
Regarding our health, we have all heard the old phrase, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” meaning that by taking care of our physical bodies now, we help to avoid serious illness and potentially even death. What if I said to you that our loved ones on the other side also try to do the exact same thing for us here – but in the form of spirit warnings that offer us help from beyond the grave?
After our loved ones are in spirit, they help us by trying to warn us of negative, dangerous, life-altering and even life-ending occurrences that could happen in our journey. Since they are aware of these things, their warnings are designed to help us avoid potential disaster, so that we may have safe, wonderful and blessed lives.
“So in which way do these “spirit warnings” actually come through to us?” one might question. First, they not only utilize our five senses: sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch, but also reach us beyond our five physical senses and can manifest through our feelings, dreams, and a spiritual medium.
How and when do our loved ones do this for us
When our loved ones first leave the earth, it takes them a while to get situated and adjusted to their new lives in spirit. As verified in a prior newsletter, it takes about three days for the etheric body (life force) to disconnect from the physical body that has just died. After that, there is a period of time for our loved ones to reach the point where they can begin issuing spirit warnings to help us on earth. That length of time varies from situation to situation depending on several variables:
First, they need to develop the skills to be able to connect with us here on earth. Just because they’ve died, does not mean that they inherently have the ability to be able to communicate with us here. That is a skill set that must be learned on the other side, where their master teachers can instruct them. Think of it like learning a language: When you were first born, did you know how to speak? You have to learn to do so and it is the same thing with our loved ones in spirit.
One exception to this rule is if they have already learned these skills when they were on the other side between prior incarnations before the most recent physical lifetime ended. In fact, they could have learned these skill sets on the other side between any number of former earthly lifetimes. In that instance, they would be able to once again access those already learned abilities and utilize them. Also, psychic and spiritual awareness are factors as well. Someone who was a medium in this life has learned the process from the physical side. That makes it easier to learn it from the other side because they are familiar with the energy.
In addition, they need to build up their energetic and spiritual strength there. When they first begin getting situated in spirit, it is just like watching a newborn baby trying to walk; at first, the baby stumbles and falls, but they keep trying till they can walk correctly. It is the same thing with our loved ones in spirit, as the longer they’re there, the stronger they become and can come through to us more powerfully. With that strength, their ability to give us direct messages that help and protect us increases and grows. It is just like someone who has been physically exercising to build more muscle tone; the more they do it, the stronger they become.
Our five senses:
Just as psychics and mediums here on earth have abilities that correspond to our five physical senses, spirits will manifest messages to us through our physical senses and their psychic counterparts.
(Sight) — Some of us will receive the messages from our loved ones in spirit through sight. In this instance, we may literally see our loved ones with our actual physical sight, or in a vision within our own mind. Just as we’re waking up or falling asleep, there is a moment when we’re not entirely asleep, but not entirely awake either. This is referred to as a twilight state where we are extremely psychically open. Because we are so receptive in this state, some of us see spirits.
One morning a few years ago, Cindy woke up to see her dead brother standing at the foot of her bed holding an airplane in his hands, moving his head from left to right as if to say no. Then, she heard his voice say, “Hey little sis, don’t get on the plane, ya’ hear me?” (What’s interesting, is that Cindy’s brother frequently referred to her as “Little sis” when he was on earth. This phrase was said to confirm to her that indeed she was actually connecting with her brother, now in spirit.)
Of course, it shocked her right out of her bed. Yet, it was supposed to, as she was planning on boarding a flight in a few days that was going to crash – and it indeed did. Her brother, who had been dead for 10 years, saw this from spirit and issued the life saving warning to her through this vision. Thankfully, she got the message and didn’t board that ill-fated flight.
(Sound, Taste, and Smell) — Regarding sound, we may actually hear our loved ones in spirit speaking to us with our physical hearing; other times we’ll hear them internally within our own minds. We may also hear them in the form of a whisper, as they offer the helpful messages we need.
Keep in mind, though, that it is not as if our loved ones on the other side automatically can talk to us, in the way we’re used to picking the phone and having a conversation with someone. As I mentioned earlier, they need to develop this skill and increase their spiritual strength to be able to speak to us here.
As odd as it may sound, we often receive these spirit warnings through taste. If we associate our loved ones in spirit with a certain food from when they were alive, that becomes one way they may connect with us to issue spirit warnings to help us. Besides the taste, we may additionally have a gut level feeling, hear a message, or see further explanation and confirmation as to what spirit is trying to relay to us.
Like our sense of taste, smell is one of our most powerful senses which our loved ones in spirit will utilize to reach us. We often hear of a loved one in spirit who wore a certain cologne or perfume coming through with that exact scent to us here. Since we associate that smell solely with them, it connects us to them, and therefore, we can receive their spirit warning to help us. I have seen countless examples of that exact occurrence, as it is a powerful tool of communication from the other side. There have been many instances I know of where the perfume someone’s mom used to wear was literally filling the room and more than one person smelled it. That was “mom’s” way of coming through, now that she was in spirit.
(Touch) — With touch, we often are physically touched by our loved ones in spirit in the exact same way someone on earth touches us – and we feel it! In this instance, our loved ones in spirit can literally come through in a directly physical way, where being touched feels the exact same way as if another human being touched us with their hands.
One foggy day, Katie was in a hurry, nervously standing at the edge of the curb and ready to cross the street to get to work as she was running late. Suddenly, she felt someone tap her on the shoulder 4 times. Surprised, she turned around to see who it was – but no one was there. In fact, no one was even within 10-20 feet of her. So who was this that just strongly tapped her on the shoulder 4 times?
As Katie was momentarily frozen, a huge SUV raced around the corner from seemingly out of nowhere and sped past the spot Katie would have been walking in the street. A second or two later, two women walked up beside her and one said to the other, “You know, it was your grandmother.” Then, Katie heard the message, “You would have been struck by the vehicle, so I tapped you to distract you for a moment.” The voice was unmistakable to Katie; it was her grandmother who had been dead for 20 years. In split second timing, her grandmother helped to arrange a synchronicity of events that kept her granddaughter safe from being run over by a speeding SUV.
As with Katie, it is a startling reminder of just how powerfully connected we are to the spirit world and to our loved ones there when they literally reach out and touch us. With all of the spirit warnings we receive, we see the many confirmations of how the physical plane and the spirit world are quite interconnected in a very real way. However, spirit doesn’t merely communicate to us through our five senses; they also can come through a feeling, a dream and/or a spirit medium.
Beyond our five physical senses and beyond:
(Feeling) – Sometimes a loved one in spirit comes through to us as a feeling that we experience. These feelings can manifest in any number of ways for us depending on how spirit sends them and how we receive them: a hunch, a sense of knowing, feeling afraid (which help us to avoid something), and/or an unsettledness about something that causes us to take a deeper look are all ways a feeling reaches us from spirit to help us.
(Dreams) — In addition to our loved ones in spirit reaching us through a feeling, many of us have received spirit warnings from our loved ones on the other side in our dreams — and in those dreams, we need to listen to what is being communicated to us! We should always remember that spirit comes through for a reason, often to issue warnings as a way of helping us. Keep in mind that our dreams are the open door through which our loved ones on the other side can literally walk through and connect with us.
Susan dearly missed her sister Regina who had died from cancer about a year ago. One of their strongest bonds was the fact that Regina always warned Susan about the many bad men she used to date. After Regina died, Susan felt such a void in her life, which left her tremendously vulnerable. It was at that time she met a man named Roberto seemingly at random in a restaurant who she clicked with right off the bat. With amazing and lustful sex, Susan was hooked; except this time, there was no Regina to offer advice and support – or was there…?
After about a week of dating Roberto, Susan had a dream – but this was not just a normal dream. In it, Regina walked into the kitchen they used to have a cup coffee in together and began talking to Susan who was already sitting at the table. Here are the exact words Regina said: “Susan, Roberto is a horrible person and you must dump him now. He has a felony criminal record and is violent. Check in the state of Florida and you’ll find his criminal record. If you don’t cut your ties with him now, he’ll take all of your money and physically hurt you.”
Immediately, Susan was jolted out of her dream and woke up. For a few moments, she didn’t know where she was, or what had just occurred. Then, she gathered herself and realized what had just happened: her sister Regina had just come to her in a dream – and it was not made up, but indeed, a spirit warning from Regina designed to help Susan.
So when Susan did a background check, there it was: three felony convictions: armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, and domestic abuse. Susan started sobbing uncontrollably, because she felt that not only had she lost Regina, but now, she would have to cut her ties with Roberto. However, as hard as it was for her, she did get rid of him and moved on with her life.
It goes to show that the support Regina offered Susan didn’t stop when Regina died – it continued from the spirit world as it does for all of us. As with Susan, our dreams are a fascinating and cosmic doorway through which spirit enters. When we are asleep, our defenses are relaxed and we can hear, see and feel – sometimes in a much more real and deeper way than when we’re awake.
(Spiritual Medium) — As with the spirit warnings we each receive through our dreams, our loved ones on the other side can come through a spiritual medium and relay to us incredibly detailed and accurate information, all designed to help, guide, protect and keep us out of harm’s way. In the physical plane, there are so many dangerous, unpredictable and threatening possibilities every day that it is of great comfort to know that our loved ones in spirit have our back – and truly watch out for us.
With each medium and every message that comes through to help us, there is no rule of thumb as to how it will indeed manifest. Sometimes there is a long message that is spoken by spirit and heard verbatim by the medium. Other times, there are key words, phrases or fragments that get picked up. Some mediums will pick up these spirit warnings through visual pictures that are literal as in seeing a house or a person with a specific description; while at other times, visual images are symbols that need to be interpreted and clarified. Dates will sometimes come through literally: as in this month, or in a week, or even one year, but other times in a symbolic way: when the leaves change, when there is snow on the ground, or in a “three.” That “three” may not be defined as days, weeks, months or even years but just within a “three.”
However, there should always be things that come through a medium that make sense and are a confirmation to us. For instance, that could be a name of someone our loved one is with on the other side. It could entail something that has occurred in your life that the medium would have no way of knowing about. The medium may provide a name, initial, or description of someone connected to your life.
Yet, that doesn’t mean that you’ll agree with every single thing that is said or that it will all make sense at the time. Some things are a matter of their perspective from spirit versus yours that is human and most likely filled with emotional bias. Also, there are events that are yet to come that may not be able to be humanly seen by you at this time. They are being revealed now as an early warning from spirit to help you.
Remember that the connection between a medium and your loved ones in spirit is quite delicate and can be easily broken. If you interrupt, argue, get defensive, won’t listen, close off, become resistant or difficult in any way, that connection can be severed. Again, it is not as if your loved ones pick up phone, ring the medium and have a conversation.
In addition, you are the vessel from which this connection originates and flows through, so you must be open, relaxed, and not accidentally get in the way. Even though the physical plane and the other side where our loved ones are between lifetimes is quite interconnected, there is still a time and space distortion that exists that must be compensated for and dealt with, so this connection is delicate and easily broken or thrown off.
For me, doing spirit medium work is among the most fulfilling, as countless helpful spirit warnings and life saving messages have come through to me which I have relayed successfully to many clients. Experiencing that confirmation of love, heartfelt sincerity, connection and help from beyond has changed my life and the lives of many of my clients. That’s exactly what happened to a woman when she “accidentally” connected with me for a reading.
(A Client’s Story) — First, I asked this woman if her mother was on the other side and she said, “Yes.” Then, her mother June began profusely apologizing for being mean to her daughter when she was growing up, which affected her self-esteem. June kept speaking of neglecting her daughter’s teeth. My client confirmed that she had not received proper dental care as a child from her mother, which eventually led to my client needing to have her teeth pulled as an adult.
June then indicated that the reason my client was in poverty, is because of her poor self worth, which her mother acknowledged that she helped to create. Her mother also commented on her daughter’s current boyfriend and said how horrible he was, which was keeping her “down and out,” and in poverty. Besides June’s heartfelt apologies, she warned her daughter that she needed to dump her boyfriend now and get into counseling. Doing this would improve her self esteem, which would then bring money into her life. Her mother also spoke of my client’s former marriage.
Suddenly, my client’s late husband came through to me. I asked my client if he was on the other side and she indicated that he was. He warned my client to get rid of her current boyfriend and the word “pedophile” appeared to me in large letters. Her late husband said that her current boyfriend would molest the daughter she had with him before he died. He further asserted to ask their daughter “what had happened.”
I also saw a young man in spirit who wanted to come through, and I felt it was my client’s brother whose name began with an “S.” She confirmed that she has a brother named Sam who died around the age of thirty. The strongest feeling came to me that he had been in a sudden car accident which she confirmed was true.
Sam then indicated that his sister needed to have her car checked, as the steering was loose, which would cause a serious accident. Her brother also warned his sister to get rid of the current boyfriend because he was keeping her self esteem low, which was helping to keep her in poverty. Sam told his sister that if she dumped him and began applying for a new job, she would get a really good job that would pay well within a “two.” That was the end of our first reading.
So with all of these spirit warnings that came through to help my client, she had a lot to think about, and after about a year, I heard from her again. She first acknowledged that hearing from her mother helped her to feel better about herself, which laid the foundation for her to build a better life.
She did speak to her 14 year old daughter, and to her shock, her daughter stated that her mother’s current boyfriend had asked her to have sex with him, but to never tell Mom. Her daughter refused to have sex, but she was afraid to tell her mother, for fear that she would be blamed somehow. However, when my client questioned her daughter, it allowed her to admit the truth. Then, my client promptly dumped her boyfriend and threatened to call the police if he ever contacted her again. Here, her daughter’s well being was saved!
This also helped my client to grow, because without the boyfriend, she started feeling better about herself and did get into counseling which further helped her to heal. Interestingly, my client did find that new job her brother spoke of within 2 months of our first reading and it was far better than any position she ever had before, so her money situation had dramatically improved! So clearly, the spirit warnings to help her brought about many wondrous changes for the better.
(In Closing) — Never lose sight of the fact that our loved ones in spirit truly want us to be safe, happy, healthy, alive and well! That is their dream for us! It is an affirmation and a confirmation of just how much they care for us from spirit as they love and cherish who we are, but most of all, they don’t forget about our safety.
Death is an illusion – it merely means that those who have died no longer are here on earth — but they still are alive and can help US on earth. As we know, the personality survives passing on, so your “Uncle Joe” is really going to come through to a medium as the “Uncle Joe” you used to know. Yes, he will speak in the way you remembered him, to offer the spirit warnings you need!
Even when our family and/or loved ones were neglectful, harmful or abusive to us when they were here in the physical plane, they are now in spirit and may have spiritually grown and changed for the better. Therefore, they now want to offer the loving support to us that wasn’t there before. They may also feel spiritually compelled to atone for their former ways and right their wrongs to us.
From spirit, they have a unique vantage point that is much deeper and clearer which allows them to see things that they couldn’t when formerly in the physical plane. In addition, their guides and master teachers can offer them phenomenally accurate and helpful information for them to pass on to us as a form of help.
I cannot tell you the countless times that from the moment I heard someone’s voice, one of their loved ones in spirit was right there, waiting to come through. From the other side, they already knew that the reading was to occur and they’re ready to offer tremendously helpful spirit warnings – things that we humanly may have not known – things that they can see from there and also, what their master teachers share with them.
There is that great old phrase, “It takes a village to raise a child.” Let’s apply that same concept to the spirit warnings that help us from beyond the grave: “It takes a spiritual village to keep us safe on earth.” That “village” includes our loved ones on the other side along with a medium who can bring through their wondrous messages.
However, in our daily lives, we should never look for spirit warnings, because if we’re looking for something, our minds can play tricks on us where we begin misinterpreting, misreading, and actually make things up.
What we should do is to be OPEN to the spirit warnings that help us from beyond the grave — but not on the lookout. Remember, spirit knows what to do and they will communicate to us what we need to know, as well as when and how it should be done! This can come directly to us or through a spiritual medium. This way, we can live our lives always knowing and trusting that we are being watched out for, protected, and helped every step of the way.
Finally, here is an affirmation to strengthen this wondrous connection with our loved ones who issue spirit warnings to help us: I am open to all of the tremendous support, guidance and help offered to me by my loved ones in spirit. I clearly receive their spirit warnings and heed their advice, which helps me to live a safe, healthy, happy and blessed life!
How about you? Have you ever had an experience where a loved one from spirit has given you a warning? I would love to hear your stories.
You can have a private consultation with me, personally tailored to fit your questions, needs and concerns.
