We have all been here before . . .

I woke up in contemplation of the lovely elders in my life. Then I really woke up and realized my favorite elders are now in the heavenly realm. The elders I was closest to and whom I love so much took the exit out of this lifetime. They have headed on to another dimensional reality. My sweet Godmother, Aunt Rose, left for heaven on Monday, 2/1. And Marguerite Barringer left on July 10, 2009 and dear old Dad left on November 23, 2009.

I'm not grieving in the traditional sense for them anymore. I feel nostalgic occasionally and I do "hear" from them and "see" them from time to time. I hear from them in the words that come out of my own mouth. Their words of wisdom they've taught me over the years flow through me to remind me and those around me of the bigger picture and love. I see them in my dreams and they are so happy! Their happiness relieves me from grasping for their presence. Instead I celebrate their freedom and join with them in their joy - heart to heart and mind to mind.

During my father's last months on the planet, I learned so much. (and I learned a lot through a whole lifetime as the daughter of both my parents.) There was a special moment the night before Dad left for the heavenly realm. Actually it felt like 20 minutes but one can't time these things. In those moments, I felt not only his boundless love and gratitude for me but also a passing of the mantle of his wisdom like a download that can't be expressed in words. Because of this immeasurable gift, I am at peace.

I believe in past lives and future lives. During the days he was preparing to leave his body, Dad shared he was considering returning here again. He said, "you know, I think I want to do this again." I said, "What do you mean, Dad?" He said, "I want to start over again. I think I can do it even better next time. Yes, I think I'll do that."

As part of my spiritual practice, I facilitate Past Life Regressions for my clients. I'll be offering a group Past Life Regresssion experience on Monday, February 8th at The Crystal Garden. This gives people a little experience in tapping into their prior experiences which in turn helps them with present day challenges or repetitive patterns. (If you are interested, call to sign up or schedule a private. Ooops - I guess this is the paragraph with a commercial advertisement!)
