The holidays tend to be a time when we remember loved ones who have passed over. These memories can bring on feelings of sadness and loneliness. As someone who regularly connects to spirit, I want you to know this is also the perfect time to connect with the Spirit World and rekindle our love with those who are no longer with us in physical form.
You will find that during the holidays especially, Spirit is waiting for you to connect, and they offer much in the way of healing guidance from above!
You can have meaningful conversations with your loved one on the Other Side, which also provides a profound healing of grief and loneliness.
Signs from Spirit
1. Stay lighthearted- my teacher always says you must smile in meditation because it keeps you open. Being open is the key to being able to hear and connect with your loved ones on the other side. I’ve found that the primary reason why people have a hard time connecting with loved ones is because they become very emotional. Understand that sadness and grief is like static on the “phone lines” to spirit. Pick a time when you are laughing or smiling to connect with them!
2. A Sign from Spirit- if you don’t know their “sign” or message, ask them to show you what their sign is. Many people don’t realize that you can ask spirit to help out. Spirits love to use a signal or sign in everyday life to help you easily connect with them. You might be missing the message they are using because it seems like such an everyday thing. For example, I just did a reading and the gal wanted to connect with her father specifically. He told me he is always around her speaking to her. He showed me oranges and an orange tree. She laughed and said the day prior, while walking by the orange tree her dad had planted, she had the thought that she should pick all the oranges before kids from the neighborhood took them. She suddenly realized her dad was giving her that thought! When you get little nudges to do something or say something, stop and think… is this coming from me, or my loved one. Nine times out of ten, it’s your loved one helping out!
3. Be open to communicating with them- talk to them just as you talk to family here in the living. They are around you and just because they are not in physical form doesn’t mean they can’t communicate. Many people admit to me that they “hear” or “feel” their loved ones nearby more strongly during the holidays. They want reassurance that they aren’t going crazy! Well, I’m not sure I can validate that, but I do know that you have to really let go of all of your hard and fast beliefs about reality if you are going to connect to Spirit world. I have had enough of my own experiences to validate that there is more to us than this physical life. Understand that by opening up and allowing yourself to feel free to communicate with loved ones, you are allowing yourself to connect with a higher place. Your angels will protect you and all you have to do is ask for their love, support, guidance and protection if you ever feel disconnected or scared.
4. Set a place at the table for them- what better way to acknowledge they are around than to welcome them home with open arms. Honor them with a happy memory and a smile and laughter. This is how they want to be remembered! Your loved ones and Spirit will give you specific memories and happy thoughts in the coming days which will let you know without a doubt that they’re with you now and always.
5. Meditate or say a little prayer to connect to them- Take a few minutes during the holidays to quiet down from all the hustle and bustle and use meditation or prayer to re-establish a connection with a loved one who has crossed over. One of my favorite things to do is close my eyes and ask for a loved one to give me a word or phrase. This is an easy way for them to get a message across to you. You could even stay in this quiet place for 10 to 15 minutes and allow them to take you on a journey. This is a great way to journey around with someone you know as a guide! It’s also a great way of telling them, “I’ll meet you halfway!”
Giving yourself permission to connect to Spirit in these ways will renew your faith that your loved one is with you this holiday season! It can help you heal any rifts with your loved ones that have been weighing you down. And it will help restore your faith that the soul is eternal and your life has meaning.
This is the perfect way to bring holiday miracles into your life.
Much love!
