A Time to Remember

I’ve Always Searched for the Other Side

Many loved ones have crossed over in Jan. & Feb. of various years. My brother Jim found Saber their Wolf Dog curled up on his favorite place on the rug, having passed away in his sleep. Saber loved our entire family for many years. Cinnamon the Rabbit, part of my immediate family for 10 yrs, left us on one Jan. 9, 2000, to be there for my Mom who crossed over the next Feb. 9. The most recent was Jimmy, on Jan. 16, 2013. Once I calmed down my overwhelming grief, I was able to connect with him Over There. Various workshops over the years have enabled me to find each of them, if they want to be found.

I started seeking personal experiences of the Other Reality, the Source, the Unknown, in 1990, with a basic shaman workshop with Michael Harner. To me, this was an active meditation, a journey to another realm. Journeys opened doors to other worlds, healing places, power animals, guides and guardians who have inspired me, directed me, and just opened my eyes to other realities that are every bit as real, if not more real, than our world. I could see, hear, & feel that existence clearly.

Connecting with people who have crossed over happened spontaneously at first in 1996. A young woman I didn’t really know, but knew of, was in a coma. I got in a quiet state, deep breathing, thinking of her, when there she was. I was the only one who could hear and see her since I wasn’t overcome by grief. The area was all white. She wanted me to tell her loved ones she was ‘bored’, ready to move on, did NOT want to be kept alive on machines, said that I was her worthy opponent…..all words and attitude that her loved ones recognized as her for sure! These were things I couldn’t have known about her. This led her people to make right decisions on her behalf.

A Dreamwalk workshop in 2005 opened more doors for me, as I learned to accompany people in their transition to the Other World. My Mom was waiting for me there. My first experience as a guide was deeply moving.

When Jim passed over in an accidental fire in the family home, I found him sleeping on the other side with Saber protecting him and my Mom ready to explain things when he woke up.  When I returned the next day, Mom said he was ready for me, and she walked off into the distance with Saber by her side.  Over the course of many weeks, Jim had a clearing in a forest with Cinnamon keeping him company, then a cave with ancient artifacts, eventually he discovered hundreds of arrowheads, and finally joined a gathering of many other souls, celebrating around numerous bonfires. He was just fine and ready to go ‘Explorin’.

As I now read Mike Dooley’s book about the “10 Things Dead People want you to Know”, his insights completely match my experiences. It’s something we are all capable of knowing, if we choose to explore a bit deeper. The other world is home, where we came from, and where we return. Loved ones are gone from our touch, but in Truth, the love has expanded, grown, overflowed into other dimensions where there is no Time, no limit, no end. xo
