“If you’re never going to die, you don’t need this book”

Dear Friends,

On Christmas Eve my husband and I went to a friend’s house for dinner. Our host was a man who’s parents had recently died, and the other guest was an old friend- I had known both her parents before they died.

At one point, I looked at my girlfriend and said: “It is so good to see you again”, which kind of spooked her as it was out of context with the conversation. But I felt like I was seeing her for the first time,. so enhanced was my vision and so detailed and vivid was the way I was seeing her face.

Later I found myself studying the host’s hands as he cooked our next course, and that feeling of super enhanced vision of my surroundings came over me once again. It me a while to realize what was happening.

It felt similar to what I had happened at my friend Dotte’s funeral in Florida a few years ago. Several times I felt Dotte looking out my eyes, as if she was “borrowing” my eyes and ears to be with her family in a more tangible way. You could say I was channeling her, but I like to think of it as simply sharing my physical body with a deceased loved one. At one point in her reception I went up to her father, hugged him and kissed him on the cheek, looking right into his eyes and said: Dotte loved you so very much, he looked back into my/her eyes and said that he loved her as well. I think we both knew something a bit different was occurring.

Since Christmas I have been spending several days a week with my 91 yr old Dad at his home as he was in a health crisis. My mother died in that house in 2003. I always feel her there. For the past month I have been having that enhanced sensory experience again, as if I am seeing the house and watching the sunset through her eyes- or she through mine. Also, I seemed to be acutely hearing the wild bird songs.  I believe I was lending my eyes and ears to Mom.

I am finishing this letter April 4th. Yesterday was my Dad’s funeral. While I am willing to share my senses with him, he had quite a sweet tooth. Hopefully I won’t gain any weight!

Thanks and Godspeed,
Gretchen

PS, I’ve been told that the animals share like this, that from time to time one of my deceased horses will come into the horse I am riding to feel me once again. It is a nice thought that the pets we have lost get another chance to snuggle with us through our living pets.

I had the opportunity to do a reading for an Austrailian woman last month. I’ve never attempted one so far away and it went so well. Her deceased husband was clear, energized, outgoing and had a great personality. The more I do this work the more I believe that the way the deceased responded when meeting a stranger in life is the way that they will initially interact with me. So some readings are with shy people and some with friendly outgoing deceased- I never know what to expect and that is the wonderful thing about helping both the living and the deceased with my ability.

My first Australian reading went beautifully. Oct 14th I meditated for a woman in Australia with her deceased husband. They both had such great energy it was a joy filled reading. I have traveled great “distances” in the energy levels but I was not sure how my mental vehicle would travel across the world. It was no different from reading for people in the US.

One thing this grandfather said is that the very young children who are seeing their deceased relatives are part of an evolution in the species. These children will not see such a huge difference between being in physical and being out of physical which we now do not consider alive. (The deceased are within the circle of life until they ascend or return to God/Source.) It will be second nature to these children that death is not the great divide, and yet this thinking will help them will savor the opportunities we all have in physical.

I commend my living clients for their bravery. For me, communicating with the deceased is not unusual. When I put myself into your shoes, however, I imagine it takes courage to even form the intent to communicate with a departed loved one. The three of us, my living client, the deceased and I are in real time -our mutual present and that is a powerful and emotional thing to experience. Later the audio tape can be reviewed and shared. But it must take a leap of faith for you to even ask me to do the trance work, and for that I thank my solace clients, hats off to you.
