Voice of the Spirit

When we first began our human reincarnation journey on earth (much longer ago that we can now comprehend), we were cast down from the Godhead as a fragment (meaning that we perceived ourselves as a separate entity), where we began this long journey that we now know as life, death and rebirth. At that time, another fragment (or soul), was also cast down from the Godhead designed to walk through eternity with us. That other soul is our soul mate.

On the surface, this definition may sound simple, yet in the actual countless lifetimes we have all already led, our experiences and the situations we have found ourselves in with our soul mate are as variable and complex as any of us can imagine. This can leave us with an unclear understanding as to what a soul mate relationship actually is. 

For the purpose of this writing, it is my goal to clear up the many false and erroneous concepts which are propagated regularly throughout popular culture regarding who and what our soul mate is. From scam psychics who will tell you that anyone you’re attracted to is your soul mate to inaccurate spiritual teachings, the distortion of this spiritual term has been at the root of much confusion and problems in today’s relationships. Ultimately, I intend on assisting you to manifest a life of fulfillment and happiness in the midst of so many emotionally charged and confusing misconceptions about the concept of the term, “soul mate.”

The spiritual aspects of a soul mate relationship

The nature of a soul mate relationship is based on the karma (both good and bad) that the two parties involved have created with each other and how that applies to this current lifetime. Since all of us have created karma (both good and bad), there will be karma between soul mates. Because soul mates have been together since the human reincarnation journey began, the possibilities for both good and bad karma having been created are countless.

It’s the karma involved that helps define the quality of what the soul mate relationship will be in any particular physical lifetime. That karma, along with the spiritual lessons that need to be learned (which are agreed to before an incarnation), lay the foundation of what is supposed to occur on earth. It is not as if there is a guarantee of what soul mates will experience, as the relationships can entail any range of emotions from utter blissfulness to complete misery.

Because you and your soul mate have been making this journey for the same amount of time, you and they may be close to the same level of spiritual evolution. In some situations, one soul mate can be more evolved and help the other to grow and learn. Since we spiritually grow through time and experience, it must be looked at on a situation by situation basis.

In the 1970’s, the “twin flame” concept was invented by Elizabeth Prophet, which falsely identified soul mates as practically sharing consciousness, nearly identical karma and helped to promote many of the erroneous, romantic, idyllic fantasies about soul mate relationships. When together on earth, the endless choices that can be made by either or both soul mates can do many things: burn off the negative karma that has been there and learn the lessons that are involved; or conversely, if one or both people are centered in their lower self, ego and defense mechanisms, even more negative karma can be created. It’s important to keep in mind that when positive choices are made, spiritual advancement occurs, but when negativity is increased through choices, additional negative karma is created, which is something that we should always try to avoid.

Knowing now that soul mate relationships are certainly karmic and involve deep spiritual lessons, the next presumption that needs to be addressed deals with the pop culture concept that a soul mate relationship is always a romantic one – yet the spiritual truth regarding this may surprise you.

Examples of soul mate relationships

Never forget that since the term “soul mate” is so highly charged nowadays, we tend to think of that relationship as the ultimate, be all, end all union of a lifetime – and that’s always thought of as a binding romantic relationship that is extremely sexually passionate. However, that may or may not be the case, as your soul mate could indeed be your lover, but could also be a different type of relationship: 

Twins – Tammy has a twin sister who is her soul mate. Their spiritual agreement and mission was to enter this lifetime and become research scientists together to help cure a specific disease, as that is their calling which they’ve followed on earth and became quite successful doing so.

Parent and child – Sylvia is a woman whose daughter is her soul mate and it is apparent from the moment you meet them. They have been best friends for her daughter’s entire life and they were spiritually meant to emotionally support each other through all of the various and difficult aspects of their respective journeys. 

Best friends – George and Willy are best friends and soul mates. They both had drug/alcohol problems in a prior incarnation and fed off of each other’s negative addiction patterns then. Before their current lifetime, they spiritually agreed to be best friends on earth who would help each other to manifest lives that are clean and sober. 

Partners in business – Ken has a partner in the restaurant business who is his soul mate. For this lifetime, they karmically agreed to have their relationship be based on manifesting great success in the restaurant business, which they have achieved.

A family member – Aaron and his brother Adam are soul mates and had been bitter enemies in a prior lifetime where one murdered the other. For this incarnation, they were born as brothers to be in a situation where they would have to deal with each other, with the spiritual intent of getting past the violence and working through being enemies to becoming peaceful with each other.

This may all seem odd at first to think that what I’ve just mentioned are soul mate relationships because they’re not romantic. That’s because of the erroneous information that’s been presented in pop culture and through inaccurate spiritual teachings, which is that soul mates are always lovers, period. Think of it this way: if you’re walking through the entire cycle of human reincarnation with your soul mate, the two of you will experience countless things together with a multitude of different roles being lived out.

Of course, soul mates are often lovers and spouses. However, that doesn’t mean that every soul mate relationship that is romantic is a healthy, long term or successful one. Some are “till death do us part” in a loving way, while others are not. Often, soul mate relationships don’t last because of how they’re handled, while others are not meant to be forever from the start. Yet as startling as it may sound, in some instances we are not meant to meet our soul mate physically in this lifetime. Let’s take a further look at examples of some of the countless multi-faceted variables that do indeed exist in soul mate relationships:

John and Sue were soul mates who didn’t learn their lesson

John and Sue were married with children and indeed, soul mates. However, their life together was difficult, because they both did the same negative things to each other such by being unfaithful, lying about finances and trying to manipulate the children against the other parent.

Instead of learning their lessons (which were to rise above cheating, be honorable, honest and work together for the greater good of the family and manifest happiness), John and Sue fell back into the comfort and familiarity of their egos and lower selves as they had both behaved this exact same way toward each other in a prior lifetime. In fact, that’s exactly why they brought these karmic lessons into this lifetime, as the negative karma needed to be worked out for them to spiritually grow.

However, by being so harmful to each other, John and Sue created even more negative karma than what they originally brought into this lifetime. Ultimately, they divorced once Sue found another man she wanted to be with; yet neither John nor Sue ended up in a good place in the end, as they both refused to learn what they were here to.

As they have now died, they took this negative karma with them into spirit. The fact that they missed the opportunity given to them to burn negative karma, grow and manifest happiness represents the type of soul mate relationship where one or both parties refuse to learn their lessons. What happens, then, is that they actually put themselves in a worse position, because they have created additional negative karma. It would like starting off in life with a debt of $5,000 on your credit card and ending up with a new balance of $10,000.

Putting our minds around John and Sue’s situation is hard for us to do when we think of them as “soul mates,” because we’ve been falsely led to believe that soul mate relationships always end up “happily ever after.” However, in real spiritual terms, what happened to John and Sue can and does occur.

Sometimes, though, soul mates in a romantic relationship have what most of us would perceive as a tougher road than John and Sue, which is the lesson of loss, because one of them will die at a young age or before they’re into old age. This is what happened to one of my clients.

Johanna lost her soul mate

I’ve had a client for twenty years now named Johanna who first connected to me when she was in her mid twenties months before her fiancé Jasper died in a sudden accident when they were engaged to be married. In fact, Jasper foresaw his own death just three months before it happened in a vision – and sadly, it was correct.

When I first connected with her months after he died, the message came to me from spirit loud and clear that he was indeed her soul mate. He was a musician and so was she. Their family relationships mirrored each other; they possessed the same level of spiritual understanding and had a deep connection. This was not just a case of young love – and in time, she’ll just forget about Jasper and move on. This was her soul mate. 

As you would expect, Johanna was devastated and no one around her really understood her loss. “Honey, you’ll get over it and meet someone new. You’re young,” her mother tried to always reassure. However, neither her mother nor anyone else around her knew that she lost her soul mate.

In the readings I’ve shared with her over the years, Jasper has come through with many accurate messages that have helped to explain the spiritual reasons why this happened. From the other side, Jasper promised to guide her and the three children she was to eventually have with another man who would treat Johanna well who she would also love.

So in the two decades I’ve known her, everything Jasper said came true: she did marry another man who treated her well and she ended up happy with him, had three children and her life moved forward. As time progressed, she came to accept Jasper’s sudden and unexpected death as part of the eternal journey we all walk through and by building upon her spirituality, her life evolved into being in a good place.

When our soul mate is on the other side

While Johanna met her soul mate, but lost him in this life, there are times where one’s soul mate does not incarnate with their partner in this lifetime. In these instances, it would be karmically agreed to that this was the lesson to be experienced.

One’s soul mate would actually assist them from the other side, help guide them here on earth through their lifetime and offer spiritual support from beyond. In this scenario, it’s hard for us to imagine, as we’ve only been taught one concept about our soul mate relationship: that it is romantic, highly charged, passionate and everlasting. However, in real spiritual terms, the highest good in a particular lifetime can be for one soul mate to be on the other side, based on whatever the lessons are that both entities have agreed to learn.

There can be a lesson of learning independence, experiencing separation, and that the soul mate on the other side can best assist their partner on earth from spirit in ways they couldn’t do if they were in the physical world. If you have not yet met your soul mate, that doesn’t mean that they are on the other side. In some instances, it’s a matter of you and/or they growing and reaching a point of evolution where you and/or they are ready to receive the relationship. Therefore, the growth must occur first to open the door to meet our soul mate.

We need to first grow to meet our soul mate

Cindy has been a client of mine for eighteen years, and for the first nine years I read for her, she was involved with only emotionally and physically abusive men. However, she wanted to meet her “soul mate” and be in a fulfilling marriage, so she asked me for help.

It was psychically clear to me that her soul mate was a positive person and indeed “out there” in the world, but that she would only meet him if she stopped being involved with negative men, worked on her healing and raised her vibration. This wasn’t a situation where she would meet her soul mate no matter what and that all I had to do was predict the time and place; but rather, she would have to grow in order to meet this person.

It surprised her when I said, “Cindy, if you met your soul mate right now, you wouldn’t be interested in him as he wouldn’t be what you’re into and used to, therefore, you wouldn’t even be attracted to him.” After all, Cindy was used to danger, excitement and violence.

However, with all that Cindy had been through, she was determined to get her love life in a good place, so she stopped dating abusive men and truly worked on healing her life. After a few years, she indeed met her soul mate who was completely different that what she was used to. He was educated, friendly and loving – all things that Cindy had not embraced prior. Through healing her life, she now found these qualities attractive and therefore, was able to allow this relationship to unfold. Ultimately, Cindy and he were married and are happy together today.

From WWII to the other side

There are also times where soul mates are destined to meet each other and do fall in love and live a long, happy life together in marriage. In those instances, once one dies, the one left behind won’t ever remarry, or may not be far behind to join them through death.

This was the case of Peter and Violet, who met during World War II when Peter was stationed in Germany as a soldier while Violet sang for the USO. Both just twenty years old, they met and married in 1946, a few years after they left the service, ended up having five kids and were quite happy together.

Because they had treated each other well in other lifetimes and the karma between them was largely good, they respected and cherished each other. There was no cheating, abuse or any form of deliberate hurt between the two.

Sure, she was a bit feisty and bossy, while he was a bit held back, but he grew to stand up to her, while she learned to back down. Peter didn’t have a lot of self esteem which affected his ability to earn money, but Violet encouraged him, which also helped him to ultimately come into prosperity. That was part of their karmic spiritual growth.

It may sound easy, however Violet could have stayed bossy, emasculated Peter and kept him in poverty consciousness – but she didn’t, because she was pulling on her higher self and not the darkness of her lower self. Peter could have refused to grow a backbone and believe in himself, but he drew upon his inner strength (higher self) along with the support his wife offered him, so things worked out in a positive way for them. So when Peter died in 2001 at the age of 75, Violet completely lost her will to live and passed away only two years later. They are now in spirit together in peace, harmony and joy.

Besides these examples, which represent a multi-faceted variety of soul mate relationship, there are still the tremendously inaccurate pop culture beliefs regarding the concept of the term “soul mate,” along with the many spiritual teachings that are greatly misrepresentative. Here I would like to debunk some of the most spiritually inaccurate beliefs about soul mates that many people routinely believe as spiritual truth that I have not yet covered in this writing already:

1-We know who our soul mate is – Sometimes we know who are our soul mate is and sometimes we don’t, as we often falsely base our perception on the sexual connection we feel with someone.

2-We all have multiple soul mates – Other important relationships in our life are also karmic, but we all only have one soul mate. Some falsely teach that we have as many as 20-30 soul mates.

3-Your soul mate is anyone you want them to be – There are some psychics and “spiritual teachers” who actually believe that we can just pick who we want our soul mate to be and therefore, it is a spiritual truth and real. Of course we don’t choose who are soul mate is; they were originally cast down from the Godhead along with us when we first began the human reincarnation journey.

4-As soon as you meet your soul mate, you will instantly know – Because of how we perceive a soul mate relationship to be electric, passionate, highly sexual and binding, we also think that as soon as we meet that person, time will stand still and we will know that they are “the one.” This is not usually the case, as frequently, we don’t recognize our soul mate upon first meeting them.

5-Our soul mate is the person we feel immediately sexually attracted to – Even if our soul mate is our lover in this lifetime, sometimes we feel immediately sexually attracted to them, while at other times, we may have to grow into that energy in the relationship through time.

6-Our soul mate always possess all the qualities we find attractive – We often create an ideal in our mind of just who our soul mate will be, which is based on qualities we find attractive. However, our soul mate may or may not possess those qualities, as the relationship is karmically driven and not just built on what we like.

7-Your soul mate is who you feel the most connected to – Depending on the nature of the karmic and spiritual agreements, one may or may not feel the most connected to their soul mate. If their soul mate treated them badly in prior lifetimes, they may not feel that connected to them in this lifetime.

8-Your soul mate will complete you in every way — Depending on the karma, each soul mate relationship has its own dynamic regarding the degree of completion we experience.

9-Visualizations and affirmations bring our soul mate to us – Depending on the karma of the situation, visualizing and affirming may or may not help to bring your soul mate into your life. Here are some examples where it does not help: If there’s a predestined time when you’re supposed to meet your soul mate, if your energy is blocked toward meeting them, and if they’re on the other side. In those cases, nothing you do will help to bring your soul mate to you.

10-We all have a celebrity soul mate – Believe it or not, someone wrote a book entitled, “How to meet your celebrity soul mate,” as if to say that each of us have a soul mate who is a famous celebrity. This concept is so outrageous, it needs no further explanation.

In unmasking the pop culture and false spiritual concepts of “soul mates,” we see that this picture is far more complex than most of us have ever imagined – and it begs the questions: “What about my happiness? Can I be happy with or without my soul mate? Answering those questions has been one of the main motivations for me to write this piece and I will shed light on it right now:

How to be happy

Important relationships in our life are karmic and therefore, pivotal to the progression and evolution of our journey. It is the combination of all of our karmic relationships which make up the complete gallery of our multi-faceted spiritual journey on earth. One person cannot fulfill us in all ways or vice versa, so we must look at each karmic relationship as one piece of a much bigger puzzle, which helps to define the completion of our unfolding journey in this lifetime — and not just myopically focus on our soul mate.

In fact, there was a study done where people where regressed under hypnosis. Interestingly, when asked, they did not use the term “soul mate,” but referred to a primary partner who was with them in many incarnations.

So the real question should deal with how we manifest happiness and how to proceed down that path. Sometimes we find our deepest happiness with our soul mate, while at other times that may come from another karmic relationship such as our best friend, parent, child, business partner, sibling, or even a teacher. If the karma and lessons with our soul mate are difficult, that will not be our happiest relationship. Yet, it’s important to know that happiness is ours, but that we must look at the totality of our karmic relationships to find happiness and be open minded as to who we will find it with. That is often through a combination of relationships, all designed to bring something special into our lives.

It’s important to first think of our happiness as the main goal in living, and not believing that meeting our soul mate comes first – and that meeting them will solve all of our problems by offering us a life of complete and utter bliss.

Yet, still, through pop culture and the conditioning of false spiritual teachings, we aimlessly dream about “the one,” scatter our energies through living in the future and waste time by wondering what our soul mate relationship would be like. We repeatedly ask the question: “When will I meet my soul mate?” as if that solves everything. However, that question cannot be answered through a one dimensional one size fits all answer: by erroneously claiming that all soul mates meet, time stands still, they ride off into the sunset giggling in soft, fuzzy slow motion focus and make love ‘round the clock forever and never get old.

Instead, we must debunk the falsehoods regarding the term “soul mate,” and realize that whether we meet them in this lifetime, are with them for only a while or stay with them till death do us part, we must know that happiness in this life is ours regardless. With that as our first and primary goal, we will manifest it in this lifetime.

Why would you want to talk with someone’s angels?  Can that even be done?  Does it serve a higher spiritual purpose?  If so, what messages might you want communicated to a person by their angels?

First, as unusual as it may sound, we are truly able to talk with someone’s angels.  There is certainly a time and a place where doing so does indeed serve a spiritual purpose, and the reason for this is when that person is not living up to their potential; that they’re coming from a place of fear, arrogance, defensiveness and ego.

Sometimes we reach a point in a situation with someone where we are literally at our wit’s end.  We have struggled, suffered and tried everything we possibly can to reach them — but nothing works.  In frustration and despair, we don’t know where to turn to seek a resolution.  That is usually a very good time to have a talk with their angels.

Even though we may reach out to someone’s angels because we’re extremely frustrated, we should never try to make that person do something just because we want them to. That invalidates their free will and freedom of choice, which are essential for everyone’s spiritual evolution and growth. 

This isn’t about control.  By having an agenda, we could possibly get in the way of them learning the lessons they need to learn if we force them to act against their free will.  Even though we’re upset, it’s never a question of whether are motives are coming from what we perceive as the right place or even as being “positive.” 

No matter how difficult the situation is and regardless of what we subjectively want, it is still wrong when we interfere with anyone’s free will.  It’s like the old phrase, “The pathway to hell is paved with good intentions.”

However, when we talk with someone’s angels and call upon their help, they are able to reach the person’s higher self – their spiritual self.  An angel (because of their high level of evolution) can only act for someone’s greatest good.  So even if we tried to interfere with the process, a person’s angels will not let us control the situation.  This is such a good thing, as then, we are not in a position to create negative karma through soliciting the help of someone’s angels.

This is where talking with a person’s angels differs from spells and/or witchcraft, where you’re trying to bend someone’s free will and get them to act in the way you want.

ONE IMPORTANT POINT BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER:  Keep in mind that everyone has free will, and the angels can only help the person in question to the degree that they’re open to being helped.  It is not as if the angels can dictate whatever it is for the person to do and then, it will be done.  If the person refuses to listen to their angels, then they’re not open at this time to dealing with that part of their lesson; however, the angels will still work toward bringing about the highest good out of the situation to the degree that it can be done.

Write a letter

 One of the best ways to talk with someone’s angels is to literally write their angels a letter.  You can ask for what you feel is “right,” but again, the angels will only carry out whatever is for the highest spiritual good.  In that letter, you can call upon the person’s angels to heal the situation, bring peace between the two of you, and to provide guidance toward the spiritually correct resolution which is for the highest good of all concerned. 

This is exactly what Sonya finally decided to do after her husband Peter had been ruining their family for several years through his continuous angry outbursts and drinking.  Ready to leave the marriage, Sonya had no idea what to do, until a spiritual master suggested that she write her husband Peter’s angels a letter and ask for help. 

Feeling as if she had no options left, Sonya gave it a try when she wrote:  I now call upon the angels of my husband Peter, asking them to reach him to help heal his anger, negative emotions, drinking and guide him toward a path of healing, love and light.  I ask Peter’s angels to communicate with him all that he needs to do for his well-being, our family’s well-being and provide him with the strength he needs to grow.  I love him dearly and release this situation to its highest good.  I thank Peter’s angels for their help and divine intervention.  With gratitude, Sonya.  

After she wrote this letter, Sonya immediately noticed a change.  Peter was less prone to outbursts, and he was showing receptiveness to getting into AA and becoming sober.  Within weeks, Peter did indeed go to AA and completely stopped drinking.  With the counseling Peter received, he learned to deal with his anger, understanding that it originated from the abuse by his father when Peter was just a small child. 

Now, it is five years later and Peter has remained sober.  As a completely changed man, it is a tremendous blessing that the family remained intact and is happy today.  This all started with the heartfelt letter Sonya wrote to the angels of her then wounded husband, Peter.  As Sonya did, by writing a letter to someone’s angels, you’re also using the power of the written word, which is a wondrous spiritual and metaphysical tool.

Talk to their angels

Besides writing a letter, you can talk with someone’s angels – and yes, they will hear you!  Jerry, a client of mine, had a coworker named Lilly, who was vicious to him from the day she came into the workplace.  Mean, arrogant and demeaning, she repeatedly tried her best to get Jerry fired, yet he had absolutely no idea why.

One day, Lilly brought her twelve year old daughter named Meghan into work for a few hours, which Jerry though nothing of.  In fact, he only briefly said hello to Meghan and kept on working. 

Weeks later, Jerry received a call from the local police, who claimed that they were investigating an allegation that he had inappropriately touched Meghan that day in the workplace.  He almost went into a complete state of shock, as he had no idea how this could even be happening, as the only thing he truly did was briefly say hello to Meghan.  Because of this investigation, Jerry was forced to temporarily leave his job, which of course is what Lilly had wanted all along.

So as the weeks went on, the investigation kept building and it looked as if Jerry might have to actually face felony criminal charges.  Feeling terrified at the thought of becoming an imprisoned sexual offender, he reached out to me about the situation. 

I immediately felt that he needed to talk to the angels of this young girl Meghan and ask for their help.  To me, it really felt like the only thing he could do, as I didn’t sense that it would be a good idea for this to go to trial, even though he was innocent.    Jerry started communicating with Meghan’s angels daily by saying: I now ask Meghan’s angels to talk with her and get her to tell the police the total truth and to completely exonerate me of any wrongdoing regarding this situation.  Thank you, Jerry.  

Weeks went on and Jerry didn’t hear anything until one day, the police told him he needed to come in to speak with them.  With his heart racing faster than he had ever remembered, he sat down with the detectives.  They told him that Meghan had recanted her story and admitted that she made the whole thing up. 

In that moment, time literally stood still for Jerry — as now, this nightmare was officially over after three and a half long months.  Even though the police, Meghan or her mother Lilly never apologized for what they put him through and he never got his job back because of the controversy, Jerry was legally able to put this nightmare behind him. Finally feeling like a free man, Jerry thanked Meghan’s angels for assisting in getting her to tell the truth regarding this potentially disastrous situation which could have ruined the rest of his entire life.  Here, Jerry used the power of the spoken word and it certainly aided him. 

Ask the angels through prayer and meditation

If we prefer, we can reach someone’s angels through prayer and meditation.   We can send out a prayer to spiritually connect with a person’s angels directly. 

Here is an example of a prayer used by Susan who needed to make contact with her father’s angels because of her father’s refusal to speak with her due to a misunderstanding: I now pray that I am able to communicate directly with my father’s angels and reach them!  I ask God to connect my father’s angels with me so I can request their help in reconnecting my father and I.  Within a matter of days, Susan and her father were indeed reunited and the whole misunderstanding was quickly cleared up.

A prayer can help to spiritually bridge the gap between you (in the physical world) and the angels (who are on a higher plane of existence).  Through prayer, you can transcend time and space to make a direct connection with the angels of the person in question, just as Susan did.

Also, we can go into a meditative state and achieve the same thing by reaching our inner spirituality.  We may focus on the angels of the person in question and open our mind to connect with their angels.  In meditation, we will also raise the energy as we are guided toward the angels in order to achieve the connection we need.  From there, we can make the spiritual connection to be able to utilize their divine assistance through stating our requests to them to aid in the situation at hand.

Their angels are listening

Whether we write a letter, speak to them, pray or meditate, we are absolutely able to reach the angels of a person.  This is an open door which we may have not known of, or never thought to take advantage of.  However, when we do, we are able to bridge the gap between a person’s fears, ego, defensiveness and arrogance to their higher spiritual self. 

Remember, it is at the spiritual level that all of us act in a loving and kind way.  Our problems, negative karma and bad energy originate from our lower selves, which is where many people are centered.

As we reach a person’s angels, they can only act on our requests from the highest spiritual perspective; meaning, they always take the high road.  Why?  Again, because the angels are only capable of dealing with someone from the perspective of the absolute highest good and nothing less — ever!

The angels of a person have the ability to reach them in a way that no one or anything else can; visualizations, affirmations, witchcraft, spells and our own emotional desires all fall short in this regard.  But when we turn over the burden to the angels of that person, the necessary divine intervention that is required for any situation to be healed comes into play.  

Remember that when you state your request to someone’s angels (which is a wondrous spiritual petition), make sure to always reach out with simplicity, clarity and sincerity.  That is a huge part of making this connection as you need to do your part.  From there, the angels will take into consideration your request and try to help the other person, if it is for the highest good of everyone involved.

It is not as if any of us can just request something (no matter how intensely we feel) and the person’s angels will attempt to carry it out.  Your petition must be for the greatest good of everyone involved and when it isn’t, the angels won’t act on your request.  Also, if part of your request is spiritually valid, while another part isn’t, the angels will only attempt to bring about what is for the highest good. 

Never forget that no matter how much pain, heartache, confusion, frustration and hurt have occurred, a person’s angels are always there to try and assist in dealing with the situation at hand.  However it evolves from there, when a person’s angels are involved, what manifests will be right for all concerned!  Through calling upon the supreme Godlike power of someone’s angels, which clearly invokes the highest spiritual energy, only the absolute greatest spiritual good can come into being from your sincere and heartfelt request.

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.
