as dead as I can ever get

Posted by Gretchen on November 27th, 2009

Once, in a meditation I was told that I was already walking the earth with the same preception as someone who was dead.  It took me a while to understand this.

I now know that reality is completely up to us to determine no matter what else is happening around us. This is exactly as it is when we are outside our physical body. We can no longer depend on what is outside of us to determine our reality. The deceased state is a completly self directed, self determined reality.

We may as well get this understanding while we are in life. There is so much more that I have learned from the deceased about life, I will be posting these for a few weeks to come.

Relationships with the deceased

Posted by Gretchen on November 20th, 2009

I form relationships with deceased people I never met in life. This happens, particularly, when I work for a client a few times with the same deceased loved one. But it can also happen in just one visit when I just click with the deceased. Recently I meditated with a living client who’s brother died in 1985.  Mike was so clear,  so generous with the both visual and auditory information that he made me look good, as a medium. I have to give the credit to Mike, though, I am only as good at my craft as the willingness of the deceased to speak through me.  This week, I met another young man who died more recently- an old soul, who with love for his mother really came though for her, and for me as well. I look forward to meeting some of my deceased clients when I am on that side of the veil.

When a child dies

Posted by Gretchen on November 14th, 2009

The work that is closest to my heart is with parents who’s children have transitioned out of physical. It doesn’t matter how old the parents are, or how old the children are, this is the event in a lifetime that breaks hearts. For parents of deceased children to even draw a breath and got up each day is a major accomplishment.

When I work with a parent and they have positive proof that their child still exists it brings some comfort to them. The first question that needs to be answered is: how are they doing now?

When I wrote the book I was doing a lot of soul rescue and the book reflects that. In fact the vast majority, (99.9 percent) of deceased children heal very quickly. They do not let themselves think unproductive thoughts and they see what is possible in the state  of being they are in. They make choices of whether to age at the rate of their earth bound family or to stay the same age. The choose how they can help others, whether it is to be a guide for family members or to help other young people adjust to the afterlife.

But they still don’t become different people when they die, they start where they left off in life.  Most take the high road to spiritual, mental and emotional improvement. It is the parents I remember in my nightly prayers.
