TANAAZ (Forever Conscious): “5 Things Connecting With Spirits Has Taught Me About the Afterlife”

I am not a psychic medium, but on the odd occasion I have encountered spirits from the other side. This has happened in readings and with people who are close to me.

Encountering a spirit from the other side is not scary. At least for me it has never been (and let’s hope it stays that way). If anything, encountering the soul of someone who has passed is extremely enlightening and touching.

Here is what I have learnt about death and the afterlife by the Spirits I have encountered-

1.) Death is Transformation

When you die, you are not gone. You don’t disappear into nothingness; there is no black hole of doom. Death is simply a change or transformation from one state into another. In fact, death is like the completion of a cycle.

When someone passes it is usually because they have completed all that they have needed to in physical form and need to return back to their true form, which is Spirit. They still exist, they are just different.

The one thing Spirits often want to communicate is that they are still around and still present in their loved ones lives. They often want to show that they are still there and are still part of all your joys and challenges.

What has changed however, is the way in which they are able to communicate and be with you. While they may not be able to walk alongside you in the physical sense, they are definitely there in the emotional and spiritual sense.

If you have lost a loved one, know that you can always reach out and connect with them. The style of communication may be different, but they are always there.

2.) Death is Predetermined

I believe and I have experienced, that most souls know when they are going to die. Even if it is not on a conscious level, I feel that on a subconscious level a soul knows when their time is up in physical form.

I have experienced this in my own life and feel that certain souls will let you know they are getting ready to pass as a way to “prepare” you. While it may not make sense at the time, after they pass you may be able to piece back the clues and messages that you received.

We all know that we are going to die, but death is also predetermined. This doesn’t mean that there is a stamp with the date of your death on it, but what it does mean is that once you have completed what you are here to do, you will need to undergo the transformation of death.

When it’s your time to go, it’s your time to go.

3.) Death is a Process

Like all change in life, there is a certain process to death. Death is not painful, if anything it is a euphoric feeling, maybe similar to that of an orgasm.

After death, the soul will cross into another dimension which is similar to what we know as “heaven”.

In the Sprit dimension, you are reunited with your loved ones, spirit guides and guardian angels, and are able to reflect back on the amazing impact of your life.

The Spirit world is an amazing, loving and inspiring place. Time does not exist in a linear fashion and communication is mainly done through the third eye.

There is also a “limbo” where stuck souls reside. These souls are often stuck because they don’t want to cross over or they are afraid of what will happen when they do. The souls often appear as ghosts rather than Spirit energy.

There are several dimensions, some of which have a lower vibration. Going to these dimensions is a choice, and not somewhere you are sent if you are “bad”.

4.) Your Thoughts Are Extremely Powerful

Your thoughts and feelings are extremely powerful and have the ability to create and shape the life that you lead here on earth.

Your thoughts also allow you to connect with your loved ones who have passed and your Spirit team.

Just by thinking consciously and whole-heartedly about your loved one, they will generally appear. You may not be able to see them of course, but thinking about them is the same as calling on them.

You can also ask your loved one to send you a sign or message that they are there with you. This will often appear through feathers, coins, hearing music and through your dreams.

You can also use other tools to communicate with Spirits which you can read about here, but if you are trying to connect with a loved one, your thoughts are powerful enough.

Sometimes Spirits are also “busy” and may not send strong signs or messages. I am not sure what these Spirits are busy doing exactly, but perhaps they are preparing for reincarnation or helping other souls.

5.) We Are All One

Karen Noe, a psychic medium connected with the Spirit of spiritual author and speaker, Wayne Dyer. She said that Wayne spoke of “We Consciousness” and that it is not “I Am” but rather, “We Are”.

We are all connected, so what we do to others we do to ourselves and the entire world.

We will never fully understand death until we get there. But if you take anything away from this article, understand that death is not “gone” it is simply a natural process of change and transformation that helps keep consciousness (us) growing.

GREGG PRESCOTT: “Facing The Death Of A Loved One”

by Gregg Prescott, M.S.
Editor, In5D.com

In loving memory of my beloved sister Lola, July 12, 1958-December 30, 2011

Some cultures celebrate the death of a loved one instead of mourning for them which makes a lot more sense than the grieving process, but it is easier said than done when it involves the loss of a family member or someone close to you.

As evidenced by many near death experiences, crossing over to the other side is painless and often occurs before the body is officially deceased, which alleviates any fear while promoting a sense of warmth, comfort and love.

Most people who have a near death experience are often greeted by deceased family members after they follow the tunnel toward the light, although it is not time for them to be officially reunited with their loved ones. These are the people who bring back the eternal message of love for us.

There is no more pain for our loved ones as they join their family and soul groups on the other side. Most people who have a near death experience truly wish for us not to grieve for them because they are safe and loved. If anything, they would want us to be happy for them, knowing that in time, we will all be reunited.

In the meanwhile, the process is much more difficult on this side of the veil. For this incarnation, we will no longer be able to hug or talk to our loved ones, which creates a void of emptiness that is irreplaceable.

What many of us fail to realize is that we are all on a time schedule that we agreed upon in our soul contracts. When we were on the other side, it didn’t really seem to matter when we passed because we knew that we would return to Source, our soul groups and the unconditional love that we were feeling when we made our contracts. Besides, time is non-existent on the other side, so there is very little difference between 23 years or 5,000 years, it’s just a number.

I recently wrote an article after having an amazing psychic consultation with Shawn Cohen. I didn’t write everything I was told in that particular article, but close friends know the rest of the story. Shawn mentioned she saw the number 3 in regard to my sister, Lola, meaning she wasn’t sure if Lola had 3 days, weeks or months to live. As it turned out, Lola passed exactly 3 months after my sister Tara first visited Lola when she became seriously ill.

My Message to YOU from my Psychic Reading by Shawn Cohen

Additionally in this reading, my paternal grandfather mentioned that my sisters and I should not only follow the light when we pass, but also the smell of my grandmother’s pirogues. That statement was specifically directed for Lola, but I couldn’t write it that way in the article. (I made pirogues for dinner on the evening of her death)

I also received a message from Lola’s boyfriend who died in a car accident. He said, “Tell Lola there is no reason to mourn.” He added a lot more, but this is how people view death on the other side. They don’t want us to be sad because sadness isn’t part of their loving existence on the other side.

For example, even when a near death experience involves having a spouse and children on this side of the veil, people still do not want to return to this lifestyle after experiencing the unconditional love on the other side. Those who have experienced a near death are constantly reminding us that “I’m okay on the other side, please don’t worry about me!”

One of my friends on Facebook used Shawn’s services and stated the following:

“And when the time comes, you have a friend in Shawn Cohen, who can tell you that your sister is doing wonderful now…. Thank you, Gregg, for posting about Shawn, on your website. She helped me connect with my mom, dad, and brother.”

Shawn helped to provide the needed closure for my sister in regard to her relationship with her deceased boyfriend. Lola had me retell this reading to her time and time again.

I was assured by my grandfather that Lola would hold on until January 9th, 2012 for me to be able to fly out to visit her, but free will always takes precedence. Every night before I went to sleep, I connected with Lola’s higher self and told her not to hang on for me, and that it was alright to pass on to the other side whenever she was ready. More than my own selfish needs, I wanted her to be without pain and in the arms of loved ones on the other side.

While the sands of time may seem to erase some of the experiences we have created with our loved ones, they are all recorded in the Akashic Records to be relived during our life review when we pass over to the other side. In this scenario, we view our life in regard to how we made a difference to the people who we encountered throughout our journey. Then, we view our life through THEIR eyes.

Santos Bonacci said something that will always stay with me. He stated (and I’m paraphrasing) “From the second the sperm fertilizes the egg, we begin dying. We were alive before that moment”.

In the end, there is no separation. We truly are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Lola Helen Prescott was a loving soul whose heart was as big as her smile. As an amazing artist, Lola’s style reflected her own creative perspective which was absolutely unique. Her love for animals and nature equally matched her love for humanity. She has made a huge, positive difference in the lives of many people and is dearly missed by all.

See you on the other side, sis. ❤

GREGG PRESCOTT: “When You Are Visited By Deceased Loved Ones In Your Dreams”

by Gregg Prescott, M.S.
Editor, In5D.com

Have you ever been visited by deceased loved ones in your dreams?

In 2011, my sister Lola passed away from kidney failure. Since then, she’s visited me 3 times in my dreams. Each time, she looks beautiful, healthy and as if she’s in her 20’s. Ironically, I have only seen one old person in my dreams and I see myself and others in their 20’s as well (I turn 56 this year).

The first time I saw her, I was climbing up a large staircase to enter some sort of boat, which felt like a Navy-type boat. At the top of the steps, we had to follow a maze-like pathway to get to wherever we were going. As I rounded one corner, I saw my sister standing there talking to a young man in his 20’s. I was smiling at her as she glanced at me, but kept talking to this young man. Eventually, the young man left and I approached my sister and said, “Why didn’t you say anything to me?” She said, “Because it’s not your time (to be here.”

When we cross over to the other side, we become multidimensional. If you were to cross over and see your siblings and parents, they would appear to you as you see them in your mind’s eye.

For me, I see my parents as if they’re in their 40’s in my mind’s eye (younger than I am physically today). If my parents were deceased and I crossed over to the other side, I would still see them as if they were in their 40’s, while my sister would see me at whatever age she sees me as in her mind’s eye. My grandparents would probably see my parents as being much younger than how I see them, but if we were all together, we would all see each other somewhat differently as our perceived ages are merely energy signatures emanating from our souls in conjunction with our cellular DNA imprints.

Shortly after my sister died, my father took her loss especially hard. He told my mother, “I just wish I could have hugged her one more time.” That night, he was visited by my sister in his dreams. She knocked on the door to his house. When he answered the knock, she was standing there, looking like she was in her 20’s, according to my father. He asked, “Why did you knock? Why didn’t you just come in?” She answered, “Because I just wanted to hug you one last time.”

How can I have loved ones visit me in my dreams?

Some people would love to see their deceased loved ones in their dreams, while others prefer to wait until they cross over to the other side.

If you would like to see a deceased loved one, simple ask your spirit guides and guardian angels to help you make it happen. You may also want to connect your higher self to that of your loved one to grant visitation permission.

According to the work of Jennifer E. Shorter and her doctoral project “Visitation Dreams in Grieving Individuals: A Phenomenological Inquiry into the Relationship Between Dreams and the Grieving” (Shorter, 2009; Palo Alto CA), the following are some common elements of visitation dreams:

The deceased appeared as they did in life rather than as they did when they fell ill. In fact the deceased often appeared much younger or more healthy than when they died. The deceased conveyed reassurance to the dreamer. “I am OK and still with you” This message tended to be conveyed telepathically or mentally rather than via spoken word. The dream structure was NOT disorganized or bizarre. Instead visitation dreams are typically clear, vivid, intense and are experienced as real visits when the dreamer awakens. The dreamer is always changed by the experience. There is resolution of the grieving process and/or a wider spiritual perspective.

They may be visiting you while you’re awake!

Deceased loved ones may send us signs that they’re with us while we are awake. For example, you may be out for a walk and you’ll see a single white feather. Or, you may see many single white feathers throughout your walk.

One time, a single white feather floated through a small rip in my caged pool screen a couple years ago. The first person I thought of was my sister.

You may also get signs that a loved one is nearby when you experience electrical anomalies (e.g. lights flickering or turning on or off, fans turning on and off, etc…).

It is never easy losing a loved one but rest assured that they are healthy, happy, and vibrant!
