An empowering view on death and eternal connection
Death is not to be feared, but embraced.
Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if we did not fear death? Death happens, just as birth happens. Death is all around us. Yet we are taught to look away from our own death and those of our loved ones. What if we did not do this?
I can speak from experience. My beautiful son Bryce passed just over a year ago. This will be my second Christmas without him on the earth plane. Last Christmas I had a chair set out for him, felt him with me all day. He joined the table in spirit. He was with me, just not in the flesh.
My belief, along with Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, etc. is that this is not the end. We continue. Our souls/our essence continues on. Our essence was in form before our birth, our essence is still in form after we die. Our energy/our soul does not die.
Two days ago, my beloved dog Angel, that I rescued off the street 4 years ago, passed unexpectedly. I felt her spirit and her energy that night and still, I feel her with me.
I realize my spirit family is growing. My son, Angel, my dog Cosmo. I feel them all with me at times, they are just in another form. People have the celebration of life when a loved one dies. But, what about after that? We still can be with them; they are with us. Just like our soul family, spirit guides, etc. They can be with us.
I understand it is not easy to lose someone. I’ve cried my eyes out many nights, wondered why, second guessed, etc. But I always come out of that. When in a higher state of being, when my vibration rises, I can connect. When we pass over from this life, the baggage we carried here on earth drops off, we lighten our load, purer form: devoid of the debris.
In the space of being in a state of connection to all, how can we not feel our loved ones? How can we not understand that birth and death are cycles of being here on earth? They are not ‘The Beginning and The End’.
So, not to get to philosophical or scientific. Let me just relay what I know for sure.
Of course, the more I know, the less I know. Part of the spiritual journey. :)
So back to not being fearful of death.
If we embraced death, how would life look? One less thing to be controlled by. Death and money are used as ways to control humans through fear/lack. This can keep us trapped and looking outside ourselves for answers.
Eternity brings comfort. When you understand that your spirit, your divine essence continues, you can connect to that essence and embrace it. You can also connect to those who are in other realms: those living on eternally as divine beings of light.
Seeing ourselves as divine beings of light that are eternal: it not only makes our understanding and connection to all in life and death change, it opens up the eternity of being. It has us ask ourselves, what is really important in this life, this now? It opens everything wide. We are able to utilize our connection to all, our knowing to go within to find the answers. We are no longer fearful of death, or life.
This Christmas, I will be putting out a chair for my son. He is with me often; our bond is deep. There will be dog energy at the table this Christmas as well. Being clairvoyant, I can feel and chat with them. I think we all have the capability to tap into our loved ones though. Just open up your heart and invite them in. I’m already getting messages this Christmas my table will be very full. I feel my mom and grandparents will be their too.
I should also note that I’ve seen/ channeled/ visioned that the baggage drops off when the spirit moves on. So, though we may have had a rough relationship with a parent or sibling, as they pass, their divinity is now their essence/soul/spirit. Most likely they have left the baggage behind and are in a higher state, or higher dimension of reality. So, if you have had a rough relationship with a loved one before they passed, you may ask yourself if you can rise to that divinity in life now, release the baggage you may have now yourself, and meet them where they are now in spirit? (Of course, this is good to do period; release your baggage and raise your level of consciousness.)
So, here is to a Happy Holiday if you celebrate. This applies to all days though. Embrace it all, your divine light, your eternity and that of your loved ones, everyone and everything.
So much love and light,
Sara
