00:00:00Loved Ones' Varied Communication Ways
00:12:13Recognizing Signs of Comfort in Grief
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Ever pondered why your spiritual antenna seems to have a stronger signal than others? Or why your connection with loved ones who've passed feels exceptionally vivid? We're embarking on a soulful journey to the heart of these questions, unraveling the complexities surrounding grief, loss, and post-mortem communications. We explore the vital role of permission, readiness, and the state of mind in opening the channel of communication, and how the 'veil' that separates our realities can influence these interactions.
Diving deeper into the mystery, we delve into the transformation of our relationship with the afterlife over time and the evolution of our communications. We discuss how recognizing signs of comfort can not only alleviate grief but can also enhance our spiritual connectedness. It's a comforting conversation that highlights our enduring bond with those who've crossed the veil, offering solace to those grappling with loss and assuring them that love transcends all boundaries, physical or spiritual. Get ready for a heartening talk that will shed light on your spiritual connections and provide comfort in your moments of grief.

00:01:16.222 --> 00:01:16.984
Hey there, everyone.
00:01:16.984 --> 00:01:19.451
Welcome back to another episode.
00:01:19.451 --> 00:01:26.781
Thanks again for being a premium subscriber, for supporting the podcast not just with your listening, but also with your dollars.
00:01:26.781 --> 00:01:28.484
I really appreciate it.
00:01:28.765 --> 00:01:34.608
And today I want to talk with you about a really interesting question I got from a listener.
00:01:34.608 --> 00:01:39.673
She said one thing that's always puzzled me is why do some lucky people get to see and hear their loved ones?
00:01:39.673 --> 00:01:48.305
I've heard of council people seeing their loved ones as solid as a live person and speaking, but mediums say that we communicate telepathically in the afterlife.
00:01:48.305 --> 00:01:54.716
Maybe some people can manifest their voice, their body, back if strong enough, and she'd like to know any thoughts on that.
00:01:54.716 --> 00:02:00.832
So this is a great question, of course, that we wonder.
00:02:00.832 --> 00:02:09.884
Why is it that, again, some people seem to get better communications than we do, seeing people even get to see their loved one or actually feel them physically?
00:02:10.606 --> 00:02:13.056
I want to start by saying that that's very rare.
00:02:13.056 --> 00:02:25.064
While it's certainly not impossible, I believe it has happened it's pretty rare and I think there's probably several good reasons why it is rare, and we're going to go through some of those as we're going through the podcast today.
00:02:25.064 --> 00:02:29.401
So first of all, let's talk about the elephant in the room.
00:02:29.401 --> 00:02:33.456
Some people do get these experiences and some of us wish we could have them.
00:02:33.456 --> 00:02:45.091
Some people have had transformative, you know, vivid interactions, very vivid dreams, or it actually even physical encounters, but some of us only get like gentle nudges.
00:02:45.091 --> 00:02:55.435
We get subtle signs, we might get an inexplicable feeling of presence, we might get synchronicities, we may feel like we're not getting something as strong as other people do.
00:02:55.435 --> 00:03:06.182
So if you haven't had the encounter that you're looking for, don't think it's because you're doing something wrong and everybody else is having to know what loved ones come and visit, sit down and talk with them.
00:03:06.182 --> 00:03:08.533
As I said, those encounters are pretty rare.
00:03:08.533 --> 00:03:13.168
It typically doesn't come across as more of something that's more subtle.
00:03:13.168 --> 00:03:21.240
So let's talk about some of the reasons why we may not get the communications that we like and why we don't get communications all the time.
00:03:22.304 --> 00:03:28.590
One of the concepts that I think is important, that I don't think it's addressed often enough, is the idea of permission.
00:03:28.590 --> 00:03:41.210
I've heard some people in the afterlife say that they are people who have been to the afterlife say that they have to have permission to interact with us in our lives and think about the Star Trek Prime Directive.
00:03:41.210 --> 00:03:45.294
And the Star Trek Prime Directive says that you should be no interference.
00:03:45.294 --> 00:03:56.348
There should be no interference with a natural development of civilizations, and I think, similarly, when we go into spirit, people on the other side can't interfere with our free will too much.
00:03:56.348 --> 00:04:16.605
We're not supposed to be making this connection all the time, and while the people on the other side may be eager to interact with us and may be eager to give us more assurance, there may be some rules that are there that we don't understand while we're here, maybe rules or ethical considerations that govern how they can interact with us.
00:04:18.689 --> 00:04:23.547
Another thing that I think we need to think about is the conditions were quiet for communication.
00:04:23.547 --> 00:04:33.362
Have you worked on the Soul Phone for several years now, working on a device that's highly sensitive, that's highly specialized for having spirit communication?
00:04:33.362 --> 00:04:37.375
I can tell you it's not as easy as we might think it is.
00:04:37.375 --> 00:04:48.807
So there are actually conditions physical conditions that can affect the way that our communications go, as well as emotional and our state of mind conditions.
00:04:48.807 --> 00:05:03.217
So some people say that, for example, we get more communications early in the morning, like two, three in the morning and some people say that's because people's minds are more quiet at that time that people can come through.
00:05:03.217 --> 00:05:07.633
I've heard that being around a body of water can enhance spirit communications.
00:05:07.633 --> 00:05:14.537
So, just like you think about a radio signal, it can travel farther under certain atmospheric conditions.
00:05:14.537 --> 00:05:22.342
I think spirit communications do require conditions as well and there can be quote unquote blocks to spirit communication.
00:05:22.884 --> 00:05:29.507
Some people I've heard say you know, your loved one can't get through to you because your grief is too deep.
00:05:29.507 --> 00:05:40.643
And I have a friend who describes it as like if your, your grief is like a, a vat of Crisco and a feather were to fall down and sit on that vat of Crisco, the feather couldn't get through, as the Crisco is solid.
00:05:40.643 --> 00:05:46.198
But if you heated it up by, say, raising your vibrations, then the feather could get through and get down to you.
00:05:46.198 --> 00:05:53.200
So people sometimes feel guilty or feel badly because it's like, well, I'm blocking the communication from my loved one.
00:05:53.200 --> 00:05:55.321
But there's also a flip side of that.
00:05:55.321 --> 00:06:02.918
I've heard people say that because they were so desperate and they cried out for communication that they got it.
00:06:02.918 --> 00:06:09.438
So I think it's kind of like the Rolling Stones says we don't always get what we want, but we get what we need.
00:06:09.438 --> 00:06:10.937
And I know for myself.
00:06:10.937 --> 00:06:17.052
Sometimes, as I do the podcast, I interview people who have these great you know fantastic really wild communications.
00:06:17.052 --> 00:06:18.533
I would get jealous of them.
00:06:18.533 --> 00:06:34.139
And I finally had to realize that the communication that I get as, I think, the one that's right for me at the time, this idea that I talked about earlier about permission, leads me to talk about something that we call the veil.
00:06:34.855 --> 00:06:44.142
And the veil is that thing or that principle that separates our physical reality from the spiritual realm, and it's not just an accident.
00:06:44.142 --> 00:06:45.303
I don't believe it was.
00:06:45.303 --> 00:06:46.794
It's in place by accident.
00:06:46.794 --> 00:06:50.621
I think it's actually a feature, it's something that we agreed to when we come here.
00:06:50.621 --> 00:07:05.581
Christian Somburg describes it as when he came into the body, they put the veil over him or they put the veil on him, and this veil allows us to focus on our current earthly experiences, the lessons that we're here to learn, the growth that we're meant to have.
00:07:05.581 --> 00:07:15.355
So imagine you're trying to live your life here where you're getting a constant stream of text messages, say, from the afterlife, and all you were and you kept focusing on the afterlife.
00:07:15.355 --> 00:07:25.366
It wouldn't allow you to have the richness of the experience of living on earth and we have the reality or the total submersion that we have when we were here on earth.
00:07:25.366 --> 00:07:31.802
So it might become overwhelming and distracting if our loved ones were constantly dropping in on us and talking to us all the time.
00:07:31.802 --> 00:07:35.225
So I believe that this veil is there by design.
00:07:35.225 --> 00:07:38.743
Now, sometimes we can see through the veil.
00:07:38.743 --> 00:07:40.125
Sometimes it's thinner than others.
00:07:40.125 --> 00:07:45.802
Some people are better at communicating across the veil than others, but I believe that the veil is there for a reason.
00:07:47.477 --> 00:07:53.480
I just want to talk about the way that our communications with our loved ones can actually change over time.
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:57.524
This is something I've observed with myself, with my daughter Shayna being in spirit.
00:07:57.524 --> 00:08:01.664
I think the dream visits are not as many as they used to be.
00:08:01.664 --> 00:08:07.407
The signs I'm not going to say they're not as many as they used to be, but maybe they're lesser.
00:08:08.135 --> 00:08:12.346
But I remember talking to someone on my podcast that I interviewed a woman named Louise Hamlin.
00:08:12.346 --> 00:08:17.126
Her husband had communicated to her and to her friends through WhatsApp.
00:08:17.126 --> 00:08:18.652
It was really wild.
00:08:18.652 --> 00:08:19.774
She was getting these WhatsApp messages.
00:08:19.774 --> 00:08:22.364
Her husband was sending her these really wild signs.
00:08:22.364 --> 00:08:26.525
If you want to look up the episode, you can listen to the rest of it.
00:08:26.525 --> 00:08:29.943
But as I was talking to her, I said we'll have the signs dropped off.
00:08:29.943 --> 00:08:31.922
She said yeah, they actually have.
00:08:31.922 --> 00:08:35.001
We were kind of podring why that might be.
00:08:35.001 --> 00:08:46.625
What hit me was that I think, again, going back to we get what we need, that we may not need that physical proof as much as our relationship with our loved one evolves.
00:08:46.625 --> 00:08:53.421
As I said this to her, she said I do feel my husband's presence more now than I did when I was getting the physical signs.
00:08:53.421 --> 00:08:55.921
She even gave an example of when she was driving.
00:08:55.921 --> 00:08:58.366
She said he would always give her a hard time about her driving.
00:08:58.366 --> 00:09:02.085
She said sometimes she almost felt like he was taking over as she was driving.
00:09:02.085 --> 00:09:11.783
I think, as our relationship with our loved one evolves and we start to maybe let go of that physical a little bit, that we don't need those physical signs as much.
00:09:14.154 --> 00:09:19.379
The other thing I want to talk to you about is the various types of communications we get from the afterlife.
00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:21.982
We seem to value some more than others.
00:09:21.982 --> 00:09:28.860
Of course we might think we want to see our loved one, but think about how much fear that might cause you if you actually did.
00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:50.442
And ironically, just this morning when I was working on this podcast but I wasn't thinking I was going to be doing this particular subject, but I was sitting in the hall, sitting in the hallway in the dark putting my shoes on and I heard a noise in one of the bedrooms and I thought what if that was, say, shayna coming through or one of my loved ones that was in the bedroom and I opened the door and I saw them?
00:09:50.442 --> 00:09:52.139
I would be terrified.
00:09:52.139 --> 00:09:55.382
So we have to be careful about what we wish for.
00:09:55.995 --> 00:10:01.520
So there are many different forms that spirit communication can take with us and I think we need to be open to all of them.
00:10:01.520 --> 00:10:04.784
There can be dreams, and a lot of us really want that dream visit.
00:10:04.784 --> 00:10:08.581
I've heard so many people say to me I really wish I could get a dream visit.
00:10:08.581 --> 00:10:14.366
But there are also signs in the natural world, like coins and feathers, and birds and animal behavior.
00:10:14.366 --> 00:10:23.058
There's lots and lots of different signs, the synchronicities, the timing of things that happen, messages that we can get through the reputable mediums.
00:10:23.058 --> 00:10:34.557
So there's a whole various ways that our loved ones can communicate with us and sometimes I think we're missing those things because we're so focused on one particular type of communication that someone else might have gotten.
00:10:36.149 --> 00:10:43.795
So let's talk about what you can do to enhance your chances of getting more communications and getting more signs, and there are things that you can do.
00:10:43.795 --> 00:10:50.798
There are very practical steps Practicing mindfulness, trying to raise your spirit, to use that term.
00:10:50.798 --> 00:11:01.755
Practicing meditation can help you to tune in in these more subtle frequencies Because, again, often these things are subtle and we need to learn to quiet our minds to let them come through to us.
00:11:01.755 --> 00:11:06.557
Our loved ones, I do believe, speak to us a lot of times through our thoughts, but we miss them.
00:11:06.557 --> 00:11:10.319
We can explicitly ask for dream visits before we go to sleep.
00:11:10.319 --> 00:11:20.797
We can set appointments with our loved ones and say I'd like to have a dream visit with you and I'd like to remember by the way, I always add that I'd like to remember it that can actually help get results.
00:11:22.049 --> 00:11:30.279
Another thing extremely important is to express gratitude for the signs that you receive, to recognize the person that they gave you that sign.
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:41.697
Because, as I said earlier, I don't think this communication is as simple and straightforward as we might like to think it is and we think well, if they're not sending me signs, it must be because they don't care about me.
00:11:41.697 --> 00:11:50.557
It might be because it's very difficult and I think some people are more skilled at sending signs than others, and some people are more skilled at sending certain types of signs than others.
00:11:50.557 --> 00:11:54.839
So for further study on this, I recommend two things.
00:11:54.839 --> 00:11:57.978
One is the book Soul Smart by Suzanne Wilson.
00:11:57.978 --> 00:12:04.814
That's a great book that would teach you some practical ways to receive signs, also to recognize them.
00:12:04.814 --> 00:12:08.675
But also the book Hello from Heaven by Bill and Judy Guggenheim.
00:12:08.675 --> 00:12:13.274
It's a great book on knowing the various types of signs that there are out there.
00:12:13.909 --> 00:12:24.760
So in conclusion, I wanna say, as with everything, there's no one simple universal answer as to why some people get these extraordinary experiences and others don't.
00:12:24.760 --> 00:12:38.156
I've tried to highlight some reasons why I think it may be, but what's undeniable is the immense comfort and the ongoing connection that these interactions do offer us, especially as we're going through the rugged landscape of grief and loss.
00:12:38.156 --> 00:12:45.933
So learn to recognize the signs, learn the things that you can do to enhance your ability to receive the signs and be grateful for the ones that you get.
00:12:45.933 --> 00:12:48.798
So again, thank you for spending this time with me.
00:12:48.798 --> 00:12:53.791

00:01:16.222 --> 00:01:16.984
Hey there, everyone.
00:01:16.984 --> 00:01:19.451
Welcome back to another episode.
00:01:19.451 --> 00:01:26.781
Thanks again for being a premium subscriber, for supporting the podcast not just with your listening, but also with your dollars.
00:01:26.781 --> 00:01:28.484
I really appreciate it.
00:01:28.765 --> 00:01:34.608
And today I want to talk with you about a really interesting question I got from a listener.
00:01:34.608 --> 00:01:39.673
She said one thing that's always puzzled me is why do some lucky people get to see and hear their loved ones?

00:01:48.305 --> 00:01:54.716
Maybe some people can manifest their voice, their body, back if strong enough, and she'd like to know any thoughts on that.
00:01:54.716 --> 00:02:00.832
So this is a great question, of course, that we wonder.
00:02:00.832 --> 00:02:09.884
Why is it that, again, some people seem to get better communications than we do, seeing people even get to see their loved one or actually feel them physically?
00:02:10.606 --> 00:02:13.056

Some people have had transformative, you know, vivid interactions, very vivid dreams, or it actually even physical encounters, but some of us only get like gentle nudges.
00:02:45.091 --> 00:02:55.435
We get subtle signs, we might get an inexplicable feeling of presence, we might get synchronicities, we may feel like we're not getting something as strong as other people do.

00:03:13.168 --> 00:03:21.240
So let's talk about some of the reasons why we may not get the communications that we like and why we don't get communications all the time.
00:03:22.304 --> 00:03:28.590
One of the concepts that I think is important, that I don't think it's addressed often enough, is the idea of permission.
00:03:28.590 --> 00:03:41.210
I've heard some people in the afterlife say that they are people who have been to the afterlife say that they have to have permission to interact with us in our lives and think about the Star Trek Prime Directive.

There should be no interference with a natural development of civilizations, and I think, similarly, when we go into spirit, people on the other side can't interfere with our free will too much.
00:03:56.348 --> 00:04:16.605
We're not supposed to be making this connection all the time, and while the people on the other side may be eager to interact with us and may be eager to give us more assurance, there may be some rules that are there that we don't understand while we're here, maybe rules or ethical considerations that govern how they can interact with us.

Another thing that I think we need to think about is the conditions were quiet for communication.

00:04:33.362 --> 00:04:37.375
I can tell you it's not as easy as we might think it is.
00:04:37.375 --> 00:04:48.807
So there are actually conditions physical conditions that can affect the way that our communications go, as well as emotional and our state of mind conditions.
00:04:48.807 --> 00:05:03.217
So some people say that, for example, we get more communications early in the morning, like two, three in the morning and some people say that's because people's minds are more quiet at that time that people can come through.
00:05:03.217 --> 00:05:07.633
I've heard that being around a body of water can enhance spirit communications.
00:05:07.633 --> 00:05:14.537
So, just like you think about a radio signal, it can travel farther under certain atmospheric conditions.
00:05:14.537 --> 00:05:22.342
I think spirit communications do require conditions as well and there can be quote unquote blocks to spirit communication.
00:05:22.884 --> 00:05:29.507
Some people I've heard say you know, your loved one can't get through to you because your grief is too deep.
00:05:29.507 --> 00:05:40.643
And I have a friend who describes it as like if your, your grief is like a, a vat of Crisco and a feather were to fall down and sit on that vat of Crisco, the feather couldn't get through, as the Crisco is solid.
00:05:40.643 --> 00:05:46.198
But if you heated it up by, say, raising your vibrations, then the feather could get through and get down to you.
00:05:46.198 --> 00:05:53.200
So people sometimes feel guilty or feel badly because it's like, well, I'm blocking the communication from my loved one.
00:05:53.200 --> 00:05:55.321
But there's also a flip side of that.
00:05:55.321 --> 00:06:02.918
I've heard people say that because they were so desperate and they cried out for communication that they got it.
00:06:02.918 --> 00:06:09.438
So I think it's kind of like the Rolling Stones says we don't always get what we want, but we get what we need.
00:06:09.438 --> 00:06:10.937
And I know for myself.
00:06:10.937 --> 00:06:17.052
Sometimes, as I do the podcast, I interview people who have these great you know fantastic really wild communications.
00:06:17.052 --> 00:06:18.533
I would get jealous of them.
00:06:18.533 --> 00:06:34.139
And I finally had to realize that the communication that I get as, I think, the one that's right for me at the time, this idea that I talked about earlier about permission, leads me to talk about something that we call the veil.
00:06:34.855 --> 00:06:44.142
And the veil is that thing or that principle that separates our physical reality from the spiritual realm, and it's not just an accident.
00:06:44.142 --> 00:06:45.303
I don't believe it was.
00:06:45.303 --> 00:06:46.794
It's in place by accident.
00:06:46.794 --> 00:06:50.621
I think it's actually a feature, it's something that we agreed to when we come here.
00:06:50.621 --> 00:07:05.581
Christian Somburg describes it as when he came into the body, they put the veil over him or they put the veil on him, and this veil allows us to focus on our current earthly experiences, the lessons that we're here to learn, the growth that we're meant to have.
00:07:05.581 --> 00:07:15.355
So imagine you're trying to live your life here where you're getting a constant stream of text messages, say, from the afterlife, and all you were and you kept focusing on the afterlife.
00:07:15.355 --> 00:07:25.366
It wouldn't allow you to have the richness of the experience of living on earth and we have the reality or the total submersion that we have when we were here on earth.
00:07:25.366 --> 00:07:31.802
So it might become overwhelming and distracting if our loved ones were constantly dropping in on us and talking to us all the time.
00:07:31.802 --> 00:07:35.225
So I believe that this veil is there by design.
00:07:35.225 --> 00:07:38.743
Now, sometimes we can see through the veil.
00:07:38.743 --> 00:07:40.125
Sometimes it's thinner than others.
00:07:40.125 --> 00:07:45.802
Some people are better at communicating across the veil than others, but I believe that the veil is there for a reason.
00:07:47.477 --> 00:07:53.480
I just want to talk about the way that our communications with our loved ones can actually change over time.
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:57.524
This is something I've observed with myself, with my daughter Shayna being in spirit.
00:07:57.524 --> 00:08:01.664
I think the dream visits are not as many as they used to be.
00:08:01.664 --> 00:08:07.407
The signs I'm not going to say they're not as many as they used to be, but maybe they're lesser.
00:08:08.135 --> 00:08:12.346
But I remember talking to someone on my podcast that I interviewed a woman named Louise Hamlin.
00:08:12.346 --> 00:08:17.126
Her husband had communicated to her and to her friends through WhatsApp.
00:08:17.126 --> 00:08:18.652
It was really wild.
00:08:18.652 --> 00:08:19.774
She was getting these WhatsApp messages.
00:08:19.774 --> 00:08:22.364
Her husband was sending her these really wild signs.
00:08:22.364 --> 00:08:26.525
If you want to look up the episode, you can listen to the rest of it.
00:08:26.525 --> 00:08:29.943
But as I was talking to her, I said we'll have the signs dropped off.
00:08:29.943 --> 00:08:31.922
She said yeah, they actually have.
00:08:31.922 --> 00:08:35.001
We were kind of podring why that might be.
00:08:35.001 --> 00:08:46.625
What hit me was that I think, again, going back to we get what we need, that we may not need that physical proof as much as our relationship with our loved one evolves.
00:08:46.625 --> 00:08:53.421
As I said this to her, she said I do feel my husband's presence more now than I did when I was getting the physical signs.
00:08:53.421 --> 00:08:55.921
She even gave an example of when she was driving.
00:08:55.921 --> 00:08:58.366
She said he would always give her a hard time about her driving.
00:08:58.366 --> 00:09:02.085
She said sometimes she almost felt like he was taking over as she was driving.
00:09:02.085 --> 00:09:11.783
I think, as our relationship with our loved one evolves and we start to maybe let go of that physical a little bit, that we don't need those physical signs as much.
00:09:14.154 --> 00:09:19.379
The other thing I want to talk to you about is the various types of communications we get from the afterlife.
00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:21.982
We seem to value some more than others.
00:09:21.982 --> 00:09:28.860
Of course we might think we want to see our loved one, but think about how much fear that might cause you if you actually did.
00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:50.442
And ironically, just this morning when I was working on this podcast but I wasn't thinking I was going to be doing this particular subject, but I was sitting in the hall, sitting in the hallway in the dark putting my shoes on and I heard a noise in one of the bedrooms and I thought what if that was, say, shayna coming through or one of my loved ones that was in the bedroom and I opened the door and I saw them?
00:09:50.442 --> 00:09:52.139
I would be terrified.
00:09:52.139 --> 00:09:55.382
So we have to be careful about what we wish for.
00:09:55.995 --> 00:10:01.520
So there are many different forms that spirit communication can take with us and I think we need to be open to all of them.
00:10:01.520 --> 00:10:04.784
There can be dreams, and a lot of us really want that dream visit.
00:10:04.784 --> 00:10:08.581
I've heard so many people say to me I really wish I could get a dream visit.
00:10:08.581 --> 00:10:14.366
But there are also signs in the natural world, like coins and feathers, and birds and animal behavior.
00:10:14.366 --> 00:10:23.058
There's lots and lots of different signs, the synchronicities, the timing of things that happen, messages that we can get through the reputable mediums.
00:10:23.058 --> 00:10:34.557
So there's a whole various ways that our loved ones can communicate with us and sometimes I think we're missing those things because we're so focused on one particular type of communication that someone else might have gotten.
00:10:36.149 --> 00:10:43.795
So let's talk about what you can do to enhance your chances of getting more communications and getting more signs, and there are things that you can do.
00:10:43.795 --> 00:10:50.798
There are very practical steps Practicing mindfulness, trying to raise your spirit, to use that term.
00:10:50.798 --> 00:11:01.755
Practicing meditation can help you to tune in in these more subtle frequencies Because, again, often these things are subtle and we need to learn to quiet our minds to let them come through to us.
00:11:01.755 --> 00:11:06.557
Our loved ones, I do believe, speak to us a lot of times through our thoughts, but we miss them.
00:11:06.557 --> 00:11:10.319
We can explicitly ask for dream visits before we go to sleep.
00:11:10.319 --> 00:11:20.797
We can set appointments with our loved ones and say I'd like to have a dream visit with you and I'd like to remember by the way, I always add that I'd like to remember it that can actually help get results.
00:11:22.049 --> 00:11:30.279
Another thing extremely important is to express gratitude for the signs that you receive, to recognize the person that they gave you that sign.
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:41.697
Because, as I said earlier, I don't think this communication is as simple and straightforward as we might like to think it is and we think well, if they're not sending me signs, it must be because they don't care about me.
00:11:41.697 --> 00:11:50.557
It might be because it's very difficult and I think some people are more skilled at sending signs than others, and some people are more skilled at sending certain types of signs than others.
00:11:50.557 --> 00:11:54.839
So for further study on this, I recommend two things.
00:11:54.839 --> 00:11:57.978
One is the book Soul Smart by Suzanne Wilson.
00:11:57.978 --> 00:12:04.814
That's a great book that would teach you some practical ways to receive signs, also to recognize them.
00:12:04.814 --> 00:12:08.675
But also the book Hello from Heaven by Bill and Judy Guggenheim.
00:12:08.675 --> 00:12:13.274
It's a great book on knowing the various types of signs that there are out there.
00:12:13.909 --> 00:12:24.760
So in conclusion, I wanna say, as with everything, there's no one simple universal answer as to why some people get these extraordinary experiences and others don't.
00:12:24.760 --> 00:12:38.156
I've tried to highlight some reasons why I think it may be, but what's undeniable is the immense comfort and the ongoing connection that these interactions do offer us, especially as we're going through the rugged landscape of grief and loss.
00:12:38.156 --> 00:12:45.933
So learn to recognize the signs, learn the things that you can do to enhance your ability to receive the signs and be grateful for the ones that you get.
00:12:45.933 --> 00:12:48.798
So again, thank you for spending this time with me.
