Speaker 2: your own research and discover the subject matter for yourself. Hi.
Speaker 2: I'm Sandra Champlain. For over twenty five years, I've been
Speaker 2: on a journey to prove the existence of life after death.
Speaker 2: On each episode, we'll discuss the reasons we now know
Speaker 2: that our loved ones have survived physical debt, and so
Speaker 2: will we. Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife. You've heard
Speaker 2: me say often that life is an education for the
Speaker 2: soul and that your life matters. What I don't share
Speaker 2: so much is I think the currency of the soul
Speaker 2: is being of service to other people, making a difference.
Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be big things, it can be
Speaker 2: small things. Even if you're checking out groceries at the market,
Speaker 2: you may notice the cashiers having a bad day. You
Speaker 2: might pay her or him a little compliment. I've talked
Speaker 2: to enough people who have had near death experiences who say,
Speaker 2: after going through a life review and living from the
Speaker 2: perspective of another person and feeling how your action or
Speaker 2: what you said made them feel, we end up seeing
Speaker 2: the ripple effect of our actions. Many people say it's
Speaker 2: like an omnimax screen with many episodes of our life
Speaker 2: playing all at once, and somehow our divine soul can
Speaker 2: understand them all and realize the difference we've made on
Speaker 2: this earth. Today, I want to share with you a
Speaker 2: lady who's making a big difference, and yes, it came
Speaker 2: out of the passing of her own son. Before I
Speaker 2: tell you who she is, I want to read to
Speaker 2: you this story, and then I will tie it all
Speaker 2: together for you, I promise. I am a mother whose
Speaker 2: daughter was brutally murdered. I'm not a professional writer and
Speaker 2: English is my second language. I am just one bereaved
Speaker 2: mother with a broken heart, living my life that's been
Speaker 2: forever changed, and trying to help those who are thrown
Speaker 2: onto a path of life that feels impossible to survive.
Speaker 2: It is my wish that my story will become part
Speaker 2: of someone else's survival guide and give people a better
Speaker 2: understanding of how they can help their families friends who
Speaker 2: are suffering the loss of their loved ones. Odd things
Speaker 2: started happening soon after Alena passed. I remember how shocking
Speaker 2: it was when the big portrait of Elena fell off
Speaker 2: the TV stand where we had temporarily put it before
Speaker 2: hanging it on the wall. It just randomly fell, as
Speaker 2: if someone had pushed it off the stand. We had
Speaker 2: a very nice wall clock in the dining room. It
Speaker 2: was a housewarming gift from our friends. Every hour it
Speaker 2: played a song by the Beatles, and the little figures danced.
Speaker 2: One day, about six months before Elena died, the clock
Speaker 2: stopped running. My husband's uncle, who could repair watches and clocks, tried,
Speaker 2: but was unable to fix our clock due to a
Speaker 2: complicated mechanism that required replacement parts he couldn't find anywhere.
Speaker 2: For a few months, it just hung silently on the wall.
Speaker 2: One evening, a few two days after her funeral, my
Speaker 2: husband and I were quietly sitting in the living room.
Speaker 2: Suddenly we heard the music play. We both got chills.
Speaker 2: The sad strains of Yesterday by the Beatles were coming
Speaker 2: from our clock. We got silent for a moment. Then
Speaker 2: we ran to the dining room to check the clock
Speaker 2: and make sure we were not losing our minds. The
Speaker 2: clock was running without blinking. We stared at the mysterious
Speaker 2: clock and watched its figures dance to the music of
Speaker 2: the well known song Yesterday by the Beatles. On another night,
Speaker 2: I was slowly walking upstairs carrying my phone. I felt
Speaker 2: physically and emotionally exhausted. I could hardly breathe and had
Speaker 2: no strength to lift my legs to take the next
Speaker 2: step up. Suddenly, a voice screamed out of my phone.
Speaker 2: Can you hear me? Now? Can you hear me? It
Speaker 2: seemed the volume was at its highest. I flinched and
Speaker 2: almost dropped my phone. Despite my weakness, I bolted up
Speaker 2: up the stairs and tried to shut off the phone
Speaker 2: with my shaking fingers. I sat on my bed and
Speaker 2: with wide eyes, stared at my phone. My heart was pumping.
Speaker 2: I had no idea what had happened. I thought I
Speaker 2: must have touched an app and started some random video.
Speaker 2: To my surprise, the face of singer Adam Lambert was
Speaker 2: the first thing that popped up. Elena knew that I
Speaker 2: was a big fan. Seeing his face right after having
Speaker 2: heard such an odd message from my phone intrigued me.
Speaker 2: Adam was wearing a red hot leather jacket and holding
Speaker 2: a purple microphone. I pushed the play button and heard Mama.
Speaker 2: I immediately got chills all over my body. He was
Speaker 2: singing a song by Freddie Mercury. A couple of weeks
Speaker 2: after we lost to Elena, I woke up one morning
Speaker 2: and wanted to check my Facebook. The first thing I
Speaker 2: saw was a post by a photographer. He was just
Speaker 2: sharing a picture of the most vibrant rainbow that he
Speaker 2: had ever seen. It was a double rainbow that looked beautiful.
Speaker 2: In no time, I instinctively shifted my eyes to the
Speaker 2: very top of that rainbow, hoping to see my angel
Speaker 2: daughter in the sky, And in no time I did
Speaker 2: see her. To my own shocking surprise, I saw the
Speaker 2: figure of my daughter's upper body. I could clearly see
Speaker 2: her face and her long hair. With her left hand,
Speaker 2: she was holding her head tilted to the side. Two
Speaker 2: huge white wings were visible behind her figure. My husband
Speaker 2: was awake, so I quickly shoved my phone into his
Speaker 2: hands and demanded he look and tell me what he saw.
Speaker 2: He said, I see Elena. I immediately felt some relief.
Speaker 2: I was glad I had not lost my mind and
Speaker 2: I was not hallucinating. What I just read to you
Speaker 2: was literally two pages from a four hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: eight page book called Gathering at the Doorway, an anthology
Speaker 2: of signs, of visits and messages from the Afterlife, all
Speaker 2: put together by Camille Dan. Camille is the person I
Speaker 2: was referring to that is making a global difference, and
Speaker 2: I want to share with you her story. Here's Camille.
Speaker 3: Shortly after Aaron transitioned, I started listening to your show.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you so much. I know there's been so
Speaker 2: much hard work that you've done. If you wouldn't mind
Speaker 2: talking about your story and how it all began, and
Speaker 2: tell us about Aaron and just share.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity and
Speaker 3: for all you've done for me. I really related to
Speaker 3: your show the minute I started listening. A friend told
Speaker 3: me about it, and I was a former skeptic myself,
Speaker 3: so I really started on my journey when I lost
Speaker 3: my eldest son, Aaron. Prior to that, I was a
Speaker 3: nurse and you know, pretty science based person. Although I
Speaker 3: had had some experience and listen to stories from people
Speaker 3: about their contact with spirit and even witnessed some amazing
Speaker 3: near death experiences in my nursing practice and had patients
Speaker 3: tell me about them. After, I continued to believe that
Speaker 3: it was something science would discover, there was some scientific
Speaker 3: explanation for what's happening in the temporo parietal lobe of
Speaker 3: the brain.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: And in May, actually I lost my mother two days
Speaker 3: before Mother's Day, and then four months later my son.
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry, thank you, thank you. I went into
Speaker 3: a state of shock. It was so traumatic for me.
Speaker 3: My son and I were so close in life. Aaron
Speaker 3: was a brilliant person. I used to call him an
Speaker 3: old soul. He would come out with stuff at literally
Speaker 3: two years old that I would think, where did a
Speaker 3: two year old come up with this wisdom?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: Going forward, we spoke every day on the phone. He
Speaker 3: did go through some difficult times with addiction. He had
Speaker 3: a highly sensitive soul. He had so much empathy for people,
Speaker 3: and I think it was a self medication thing for
Speaker 3: him that led to an addiction, and tragically he died
Speaker 3: in a fall as a result of ingestion of fentannel,
Speaker 3: which he didn't know. He told me he had taken
Speaker 3: a sleeping pill, and I know he didn't know because
Speaker 3: I know he had gone through rehab and he knew
Speaker 3: everything about it and he was doing really well. We
Speaker 3: had pizza at our favorite restaurant three nights before. Three
Speaker 3: days later I got the news no parent ever wants
Speaker 3: to get. And then, not long after funeral, a friend
Speaker 3: of mine who has talked a lot about her experiences
Speaker 3: with spirit contact with her family. In fact, she contributed
Speaker 3: a chapter. Her name is Arlene. She came over with
Speaker 3: a note she had written, and she claimed that she
Speaker 3: believed the note was she channeled Aaron through automatic writing.
Speaker 3: And she gave me the note, and when I read
Speaker 3: the note, there were details that there's no way she
Speaker 3: could have known. But still in shock, I didn't understand
Speaker 3: what was happening. The next day we had to meet
Speaker 3: with the detectives on the case, and one of the
Speaker 3: detectives said something that was word for word in the
Speaker 3: note Arlene had given me the day before. I forget
Speaker 3: everything else, he said. So from that point on, I
Speaker 3: started to find a lot of comfort in hearing about
Speaker 3: spirit contact and how is this all possible? And I
Speaker 3: started reading books. Arlene recommended try listening to podcasts, and
Speaker 3: she told me about yours, and I went on your podcast.
Speaker 3: That was a turning point for me in my grief journey.
Speaker 3: The synchronicities that have occurred since I started to awaken
Speaker 3: to contact with spirit and what I've learned is just remarkable,
Speaker 3: And in the span of time that I've learned it,
Speaker 3: my biggest teacher has been Aaron. So my first book,
Speaker 3: Aaron's Energy, actually started as my grief journal. I had
Speaker 3: read that journaling was comforting for people and helpful to
Speaker 3: people and cathartic and therapeutic, and I thought, Okay, I'll
Speaker 3: try that. Shortly after I started, we decided to go
Speaker 3: to the lake house and get out of the city,
Speaker 3: have some quiet time, some communion with nature. I had
Speaker 3: also read that was good for someone to do in
Speaker 3: early grief. As we were drying up to the cottage,
Speaker 3: it was October. I was the passenger in the car,
Speaker 3: and I was looking at all the beautiful October fall leaves.
Speaker 3: The changing colors, how gorgeous they are that the highway
Speaker 3: is lined with forests on the way up. And as
Speaker 3: soon as I thought about this beautiful site, a tidal
Speaker 3: wave of grief hit me. My first thought was, my
Speaker 3: son is never going to see anything like this again.
Speaker 3: As soon as I thought that, I heard my son's
Speaker 3: voice say to me, I do see it, mom. It
Speaker 3: was as if he was in the car with us,
Speaker 3: like it was so like his voice, and it wasn't
Speaker 3: in my head. I heard it.
Speaker 2: There's rarely a good time to take a break. But
Speaker 2: there's so much more to this story with Camille Dan,
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. You're listening to Shades of the

Speaker 2: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sander Champlain
Speaker 2: and we're listening to the story of Mom Camille Dan
Speaker 2: after the passing of her son Aaron. Last we left her,
Speaker 2: she was driving up to her cabin seeing the beautiful
Speaker 2: fall colors and she hears the voice of her son.
Speaker 3: As we were driving up to the cottage. It was
Speaker 3: October and I was the passenger in the car, and
Speaker 3: I was looking at all the beautiful october fall leaves,
Speaker 3: the changing colors, how gorgeous they are. The highway is
Speaker 3: lined with forests, And as soon as I thought about
Speaker 3: this beautiful site, a tidal wave of grief hit me.
Speaker 3: My first thought was, my son is never going to
Speaker 3: see anything like this again. As soon as I thought,
Speaker 3: I heard my son's voice say to me, I do
Speaker 3: see it, Mom. It was as if he was in
Speaker 3: the car with us, like it was so like his
Speaker 3: voice and it wasn't in my head. I heard it,
Speaker 3: and I looked and nobody else heard it, and he said,
Speaker 3: I do see it, Mom. I see the colors. I
Speaker 3: see the leaves, But the colors I see aren't the
Speaker 3: way you see them. He said, I see the energy
Speaker 3: that the leaves are emitting colors that I can't describe
Speaker 3: to you. They're beyond description. And I just sat there
Speaker 3: and I didn't tell anyone because I thought they're going
Speaker 3: to think I'm crazy. I'm making this up in my head.
Speaker 3: I'm hearing things. We went up to the cottage and
Speaker 3: he started talking to me more about physics, like how
Speaker 3: energy works, what is afterlife is like, and he combined
Speaker 3: what he was telling me was signs, some of them
Speaker 3: I was to get photos of, and I thought, wow,
Speaker 3: this is really incredible. Well then I got this idea
Speaker 3: maybe I should record all of this for the family,
Speaker 3: you know. And then I came back and I was
Speaker 3: telling my friend again about this, and she said, you
Speaker 3: should do a book. And I said, oh, nobody's going
Speaker 3: to care about reading my stuff, like this is just
Speaker 3: my stuff, and she said, oh no, I think a
Speaker 3: lot of people will care about it. One day, after
Speaker 3: I had gone quite a ways with my journaling, I
Speaker 3: opened a spam email, which I never do. We know
Speaker 3: not to open spam emails, but I don't know why.
Speaker 3: I clicked on it. It opened and it was my
Speaker 3: horoscope and it said you're going to turn your manuscript
Speaker 3: into a book, and I would oh, okay, yeah. My
Speaker 3: first thought was okay, erin I will. And I didn't
Speaker 3: ever write a book before in my life, didn't know
Speaker 3: what I was doing, so I googled it and oh,
Speaker 3: you can actually do this yourself. So I just kept
Speaker 3: following what the instructions told me to do and Kindle
Speaker 3: direct Publishing and I had entered and next thing I knew,
Speaker 3: I got a response, your book is available on Amazon.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and it was. It just kept going from there.
Speaker 3: The signs just kept getting more profound.
Speaker 2: These signs do you want to share?
Speaker 3: Yes? Yes. Signs seemed to occur a lot in synchrony
Speaker 3: with events, So signs can be birds. Here's an example.
Speaker 3: I started noticing cardinals coming into the backyard all the time,
Speaker 3: and sometimes they would come in groups of three, and
Speaker 3: one time two males and a female came together. And
Speaker 3: I had lost my father the following year, and I
Speaker 3: thought two males and a female my father, Aaron, and
Speaker 3: my mother. And they would come at times when I
Speaker 3: was either thinking of them or when I was doing
Speaker 3: something like writing a journal entry or communicating with someone
Speaker 3: about spirit. I could hear them loudly outside the window.
Speaker 3: Another time, we were in Florida and we were walking
Speaker 3: along the beach and you know those little sandpipers that
Speaker 3: skidter along the water's edge. They do that in big groups.
Speaker 3: One broke away from the group and started following us
Speaker 3: down the beach. And I was looking at this little
Speaker 3: tiny sandpiper getting farther and farther away from his group
Speaker 3: alongside of us, and I'm looking. Finally I turned, I
Speaker 3: said Aaron. He said, yeah, Mom. I said, are you
Speaker 3: the bird? He said, no, I have melded my energy
Speaker 3: with the bird. Their eyes are our eyes, their ears
Speaker 3: are our ears.
Speaker 2: He said.
Speaker 3: We can check in on you. We can show you
Speaker 3: where present, and if you didn't notice the bird, we
Speaker 3: can drop a feather and let you know we were there.
Speaker 3: I mean, the messages are incredible. One time I was
Speaker 3: at the lake and I was feeling sad and really
Speaker 3: missing him. I asked him for a sign. He sent
Speaker 3: me them pretty quickly after I would ask. He still does.
Speaker 3: Sometimes he tells me I'm busy, mom, I'll be back later.
Speaker 3: He's busy doing a lot of things. Because he tells
Speaker 3: me that across the veil. He can be in multiple
Speaker 3: places at the same time. So if he's busy looking
Speaker 3: in on someone else or having another experience, or melding
Speaker 3: with an animal, or melding with another person, or creating
Speaker 3: an experience for him himself that he wants to have
Speaker 3: in that moment, he'll be back. He's always around. Well,
Speaker 3: this time, I was looking out over the lake feeling
Speaker 3: really sad, and I looked up in the sky. He
Speaker 3: leaves me a lot of messages in the clouds, like
Speaker 3: his name, the first letter of his name. I have
Speaker 3: photos of those in both books I have in Aaron's
Speaker 3: Energy and in Gathering at the Doorway. I continued my
Speaker 3: journaling as my chapter in Gathering at the Doorway, because
Speaker 3: this all kept continuing and, as I said, getting more
Speaker 3: and more profound and deeper in meaning and learning for me. Anyway,
Speaker 3: So I'm looking up at the clouds, and all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, just a group of clouds started kind of swirling.
Speaker 3: Wasn't a windy day. I'm watching this group of clouds swirling.
Speaker 3: Next thing I know, it looks like it's forming into letters.
Speaker 3: I had my phone with me and I got a
Speaker 3: photo of it. The letters say very clearly, I love
Speaker 3: you In clouds, I love you, and the oh of
Speaker 3: love is a heart shape and there's a photo of
Speaker 3: it in the book. It's not photoshopped. It actually happened.
Speaker 3: That was the most profound cloud message, a sentence in
Speaker 3: the clouds. So Aaron had told me, and I really
Speaker 3: believe looking back now, the way he gave me the
Speaker 3: information would build on itself, so the cloud messages. What
Speaker 3: he told me about that was that they are able
Speaker 3: to move particles around, especially particles like what exists in clouds.
Speaker 3: They use their energy. With their energy, they can push
Speaker 3: or draw particles together to form images that we're able
Speaker 3: to see, and we have to be part of that.
Speaker 3: It has meaning because we were present. One time when
Speaker 3: I asked him to do a cloud message for me,
Speaker 3: he said, Mom, the amount of micro and macro events
Speaker 3: that have to occur simultaneously and you have to be
Speaker 3: present for that to occur. You'll never understand, never fully understand.
Speaker 3: But eventually I got to see Sonia Andaldi's work when
Speaker 3: she described the vapor chamber that she uses, where spirit
Speaker 3: energy can move vapor particles around using energy and light.
Speaker 3: Light can become a particle, Light energy can be a wave,
Speaker 3: how she has discovered this to occur and create images
Speaker 3: in her laboratory is not only astounding, but it's evident
Speaker 3: because Aaron told me about how they can do that
Speaker 3: before I even ever heard of Sonya Ronaldi. Here's another
Speaker 3: synchronicity that occurred. I had invited Sonya to join in
Speaker 3: the group with the anthology, and she responded right away
Speaker 3: and sent me this beautiful chapter which is also in
Speaker 3: our anthology. And then within a couple of weeks maximum
Speaker 3: I saw that there's a documentary coming out about Sonya
Speaker 3: Ronaldi in her work that you produced with Robert Lyon.
Speaker 3: And at about fifty eight minutes into the documentary, there's
Speaker 3: a trans image of Aaron that appeared in Sonia's laboratory.
Speaker 3: I just about passed out. I couldn't believe it. I
Speaker 3: was one hundred percent an image of erin no question.
Speaker 3: I sent it out to family and friends and where
Speaker 3: did that come from? I said, it came from a
Speaker 3: woman in Brazil's laboratory. She is able to cause these
Speaker 3: images to occur from spirit, and it wasn't a photo
Speaker 3: of Aaron I had, so it's not like, you know,
Speaker 3: she could have ever seen a photo of erin before
Speaker 3: or had one. It looked like he was about sixteen.
Speaker 3: He looked beautiful and healthy. It was almost like a
Speaker 3: combination of photos of him in one anyway, I got
Speaker 3: so excited about it before the end of the documentary,
Speaker 3: I started typing a message to Sonia, Aaron is in
Speaker 3: your documentary?
Speaker 2: Just well.
Speaker 3: Next thing I know, I started sharing with people in
Speaker 3: the parents healing groups that I belonged to, like helping
Speaker 3: parents heal, and with some friends, and I found out
Speaker 3: that they can also find images of their loved ones
Speaker 3: from Sonia's catalog of unknowns. They went and looked at
Speaker 3: another number of us now have discovered images so beautiful.
Speaker 3: And Roseanne was in the documentary, so she's in the anthology.
Speaker 3: And Ellie Shaykat, a friend who I contacted, found her
Speaker 3: daughter and she's also contributed a chapter to the anthology.
Speaker 3: So you see how things have went from one step
Speaker 3: to the next. And I'm looking at now we're having
Speaker 3: a conversation, and you're the person that I first heard
Speaker 3: and started this whole journey with. And it's just been
Speaker 3: a journey of miracles, you know. Just the fact that
Speaker 3: I only started writing this anthology in October and it's
Speaker 3: already available. It's already compiled with forty authors from around
Speaker 3: the world.
Speaker 2: This is a good place for us to take our
Speaker 2: break if you're new to Sonia in all these work,
Speaker 2: I recently did an episode on three Brazilian mediums and
Speaker 2: I created a web page so you can learn more
Speaker 2: about them after you hear the episode. So be sure
Speaker 2: to go back and listen to that. Let's head to
Speaker 2: the break. We'll be right back. You're listening to Shades

Speaker 6: Hey, this is George DApp and you're listening to the
Speaker 6: iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlaine
Speaker 2: and you're listening to the conversation I had with Camille Dan.
Speaker 2: She self published her first book, Aaron's Energy, after the
Speaker 2: passing of her son Aaron. Remember Camille was a nurse
Speaker 2: with a scientific and analytical background and never believed in
Speaker 2: any of this. Now she has compiled a book over
Speaker 2: an inch thick with over forty stories.
Speaker 3: I got the idea that you know, I think we
Speaker 3: should be sharing these stories. We should get people to
Speaker 3: share because what I found along my journey is the
Speaker 3: minute you start talking about this stuff, somebody tells you
Speaker 3: they see dimes, they see feathers, They believe that it
Speaker 3: might be, but they just don't explore it. They keep
Speaker 3: it to themselves, maybe for one reason or another. Maybe
Speaker 3: they think people won't accept when they hear that, or coincidences.
Speaker 3: A lot of people say, a lot of people explain
Speaker 3: things away. I did that, definitely did that. Well, now
Speaker 3: I look at it the complete opposite way. What are
Speaker 3: the odds that something would happen at exactly the right time,
Speaker 3: in exactly the right place when I was there. You
Speaker 3: can't calculate the odds of that. My mind is really open.
Speaker 3: And then for all that has occurred and in so
Speaker 3: many ways, and we've shared it in the book with
Speaker 3: all of the authors, the signs and the synchronicities and
Speaker 3: synchronicities that have occurred with authors and other authors in
Speaker 3: the book who didn't even know each other before that
Speaker 3: have occurred with friends and family of theirs that didn't
Speaker 3: even know that they believed in these things before. The
Speaker 3: book is full of evidence, and I'm rambling along here.
Speaker 2: But it's good rambling. I've never known a person, tomil
Speaker 2: that had a dream to have this done so quickly.
Speaker 2: Over forty authors in it talk about some of the
Speaker 2: people and maybe some of the stories.
Speaker 3: Well, one of the forwards is your beautiful forward. And
Speaker 3: you know, everything I read from you and watch and
Speaker 3: listen is so inspiring and affirming for me and for
Speaker 3: so many others. I've joined your Sunday gathering, and you know,
Speaker 3: it's not that long ago that this all happened to me,
Speaker 3: and I still seek out comfort and I find it
Speaker 3: so comforting. So I thank you for that. So in
Speaker 3: another chapter, Melissa Ralston, who I never knew before from Alabama.
Speaker 3: I live in Toronto, Canada, and a mutual friend here
Speaker 3: said I have this friend in Alabama. I think maybe
Speaker 3: you might have a lot in common with her, and
Speaker 3: maybe you should contact her.
Speaker 2: So I did.
Speaker 3: Melissa. She's such a lovely person. She lost her son
Speaker 3: and his name is Matthew. Melissa contributed a chapter to
Speaker 3: the anthology called The Christmas Miracle. Well, when I met Melissa,
Speaker 3: I found out we did have a lot in common.
Speaker 3: Aaron told me before I met Melissa, and this was
Speaker 3: around the Christmas before I met her, that he was
Speaker 3: with someone named Matthew in his afterlife, and I didn't
Speaker 3: know anyone named Matthew in the afterlife. Took me a
Speaker 3: long time to figure it out. Turns out Melissa's son's
Speaker 3: name is Matthew, but it goes on. Melissa lives thirty
Speaker 3: minutes from where I was born. My father was in
Speaker 3: the US Air Force and I was born on Maxwell
Speaker 3: Air Force Base in Alabama. Melissa's husband worked on Maxwell
Speaker 3: Air Force Base and guided a salute to my father
Speaker 3: in his memory on that base.
Speaker 2: Beautiful.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what are the odds of something like that?
Speaker 3: Another incredible synchronicity. I was listening to a podcast by
Speaker 3: another author in our anthology. Her name is Jane Asher Rainey.
Speaker 3: Now when I drive up to the cottage, what it's
Speaker 3: the first thing I do? Turn on podcasts. I never
Speaker 3: listened to a podcast before yours. Now I can't get
Speaker 3: enough of the podcast. And Jane was talking about her
Speaker 3: experience with her mom in spirit. She started to hear
Speaker 3: her mom through a medium, then started hearing her mom herself. Anyway,
Speaker 3: The strange thing that happened was I was driving along
Speaker 3: in Canada. I know my eyesight's not that great. I
Speaker 3: saw what looked like a road exit sign that said
Speaker 3: Oprah Winfree Road, and I'm thinking, Oprah Winfrey Road. There's
Speaker 3: no Oprah. And as soon as I got close enough
Speaker 3: to the sign, it didn't say anything like Oprah Winfrey Road. Well,
Speaker 3: not very far up the highway. Jane mentioned Oprah Winfrey
Speaker 3: in her podcast and I went, oh, and I take
Speaker 3: these as little messages. Listen or it's a good thing
Speaker 3: you're listening now, because something's going to happen on the
Speaker 3: way to the cottage. The other day, I was behind
Speaker 3: a car with the driver's license numbers five sixteen, and
Speaker 3: I looked at it. I said, oh, something's going to
Speaker 3: happen on May sixteenth.
Speaker 2: Here we are, yes, ladies, and gaidh do we are
Speaker 2: recording this on May sixteen?
Speaker 3: And oh my goodness. There's so many chapters I can
Speaker 3: talk about. The thing about the anthology, The really interesting
Speaker 3: thing is it's not just full of personal accounts and
Speaker 3: anecdotal stories about these kinds of experiences. I have, somehow
Speaker 3: miraculously had scientists reach out to me to contribute chapters
Speaker 3: about their scientific research. Findings in afterlife communication and Survival
Speaker 3: of Consciousness. So doctor Piero Calvi Paracetti, he contributed a chapter.
Speaker 3: When you read this chapter, you will read this as evidence.
Speaker 3: You can't see this any other way of what the
Speaker 3: chances are that accurate contacts are made with spirit, especially
Speaker 3: through mediums. Speaking of mediums, I met a medium through
Speaker 3: a friend, both who have contributed to the anthology. The
Speaker 3: medium's name is Sherry Gallant and she's a very well
Speaker 3: known medium here in Canada. Her accuracy is unbelievable. I
Speaker 3: had one of my first mediumship readings with her. I
Speaker 3: was so blown away by what she brought through from
Speaker 3: my father and my son, and the friend who recommended
Speaker 3: her also had incredible experiences. Her name is Cindy Leader,
Speaker 3: and they're in the book. All of these kinds of
Speaker 3: stories are recorded in this book alongside of each other,
Speaker 3: so that it's not just you know, people's personal stories
Speaker 3: from every walk of life around the world, every background,
Speaker 3: every religion, practically nearly every continent but science. Doctor Mark
Speaker 3: Pittstick wrote a chapter about his research with doctor Gary
Speaker 3: Schwartz in Communication Across the Veil. There's over forty chapters.
Speaker 3: Beautiful forwards. There's an endorsement from Mark Anthony, the psychic lawyer.
Speaker 3: I went in a group meeting with him. That was
Speaker 3: the first time I just thought, okay, I'll join. I
Speaker 3: literally joined five minutes before I saw an ad for it.
Speaker 3: And the first thing he said was, I have a
Speaker 3: blue jay here. Does anyone recognize a blue jay? And
Speaker 3: my first thought was, well, my mother was a huge
Speaker 3: Toronto blue Jays fan. So I typed it into the
Speaker 3: chat and he called me up. What he brought through
Speaker 3: down to the finger my mother broke. He talked about
Speaker 3: how my mother had to wear a ring on the
Speaker 3: other hand because of her finger, and he pointed at
Speaker 3: the very finger that she broke and it never healed right,
Speaker 3: so she couldn't wear her ring on there. He talked
Speaker 3: about the heart shaped necklace I gave her. He couldn't
Speaker 3: have known these things. I joined five minutes before. What
Speaker 3: I found that I need to do is recognize what's
Speaker 3: happening in that moment, and then I can connect the
Speaker 3: dots and figure out the messages.
Speaker 2: Camille, there's people who would love to know their loved
Speaker 2: one is around and that yes, signs are great and
Speaker 2: working with the medium is great. But can you talk
Speaker 2: about how Aaron is kind of in touch with you
Speaker 2: through your thoughts and mind because I know the two
Speaker 2: books there's a lot of your journaling with things that
Speaker 2: have happened with him. But what should we be aware
Speaker 2: of with our loved one? How should we keep the
Speaker 2: relationship alive? You know what I'm asking?
Speaker 3: Yes, I do. Thank you. That's a great question. Aaron
Speaker 3: explains so much to me about this. How are we communicating?
Speaker 3: Because I've asked him and he said that we are
Speaker 3: always connected with the source of creation. It flows through
Speaker 3: us as it flows through everything. So opening our minds
Speaker 3: is really opening our brains to allow ourselves to tune
Speaker 3: into it. Aaron says that love is the energy of creation,
Speaker 3: and everything is created from love. We are actually part
Speaker 3: of that chain of creation. We've been given brains and
Speaker 3: tools for creation, like hands, tools to see, to speak,
Speaker 3: to hear, and then to create from what we receive.
Speaker 3: Every bit of love we put out into the world
Speaker 3: is valuable and important to the universe in that constant
Speaker 3: flow of creation that it's in. Sometimes when people feel like, oh,
Speaker 3: how come I'm not receiving messages? How come other people do?
Speaker 3: But I don't I want it so badly? And what
Speaker 3: Aaron says is everyone is He's saying, be open, open
Speaker 3: up to all the possibilities because your loved one will
Speaker 3: come through with their own language for you and what
Speaker 3: you're able to recognize. But if you're focused on one
Speaker 3: thing like dimes or feathers or something somebody else is getting,
Speaker 3: you might be missing what they're sending you. But they
Speaker 3: are sending them. They're always sending them. Or if you're
Speaker 3: in a group reading, which the group readings are wonderful,
Speaker 3: but not everyone gets called up. But guess what, the
Speaker 3: loved one who's coming through the medium is the spokesperson
Speaker 3: for the group. That means if you're there, your loved
Speaker 3: one is there and they might not be speaking directly
Speaker 3: to you, but they are all speaking to everyone in
Speaker 3: the group. So that's another way we can connect. Let's
Speaker 3: head off to the break now and when we get
Speaker 3: back we'll hear more from Camille Dan who compiled the
Speaker 3: book Gathering at the Doorway, an anthology of signs, visits,
Speaker 3: and Messages from the Afterlife.
Speaker 2: You are listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast Network.

Speaker 4: to be. This is the iHeartRadio in Coast to Coast,
Speaker 4: a paranormal podcast network.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain.
Speaker 2: We're talking to mom, and author and nurse and so
Speaker 2: much more. Camille Dan who put together an amazing compilation book.
Speaker 2: It's called Gathering at the Doorway, an anthology of signs,
Speaker 2: visits and messages from the afterlife. There are over forty
Speaker 2: stories in it. Before the break, she was just telling
Speaker 2: us about different ways to connect. Let's continue.
Speaker 3: Another way we can connect is to try to reduce
Speaker 3: a lot of the distractions of daily living that take
Speaker 3: our focus and occupy our focus all the time. And
Speaker 3: see if meditation works for you, see if walks in
Speaker 3: nature work for you. Try different things, because everybody's different,
Speaker 3: and just as much as all our loved ones are different.
Speaker 3: Yet although everyone is a different expression of the love
Speaker 3: energy of creation, we are all connected to that source always.
Speaker 2: Yes, you were on our Sunday gathering yesterday. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: For those of you who don't know, we offer a
Speaker 2: free Sunday service. It's filled with surprises and inspiration and love,
Speaker 2: and part of it is a demonstration of mediumship. And
Speaker 2: your hand went up many times, so I feel like
Speaker 2: you had a lot of love there.
Speaker 3: Yes, That's happened a lot of times for me when
Speaker 3: I've been on group readings, it's like, oh, I recognize that.
Speaker 3: I recognize that. A lot of times the leader is
Speaker 3: saying wait till you recognize three indicators, And a lot
Speaker 3: of times there are and somebody else gets called up,
Speaker 3: and I think, okay, well this message is for me too.
Speaker 3: It's not just for the person that was called up,
Speaker 3: It's for everybody here. It was remarkable yesterday how many
Speaker 3: things I could take came up. But it's happened before.
Speaker 3: One mediumship group reading I was in. Aaron dominated the
Speaker 3: whole thing. I just kept putting my hand up, putting
Speaker 3: my hand up. So that's to me, just evidence that
Speaker 3: readings are for everyone who showed up.
Speaker 2: I agree, you can take out of it so much.
Speaker 2: And of course in these readings, not everyone can get
Speaker 2: a personal reading, but I visualize behind the scenes. So
Speaker 2: in our Sunday gathering, we might have two hundred people
Speaker 2: that show up in the Zoom meeting. Mind, it's just
Speaker 2: thousands of our loved ones, and they're all, okay, who's
Speaker 2: going to do what? And okay, our stories are similar,
Speaker 2: so let's step up together. And even right now, you know,
Speaker 2: Aaron and your folks and my dad and my grandmother
Speaker 2: all just big smiles. We're here.
Speaker 3: You know what, what you're saying rings a bell so
Speaker 3: much for me, because all I've been saying throughout this
Speaker 3: anthology is our loved ones have gathered us together, They've
Speaker 3: guided us all together for this. How else could this
Speaker 3: have happened in this short span of time? And I say,
Speaker 3: there's got to be a stadium full of souls cheering
Speaker 3: us on. And their book club is growing bigger and
Speaker 3: bigger all the time, every time a story is shared.
Speaker 3: And that's what this book is about, sharing stories and
Speaker 3: encouraging others to share their stories and to open their
Speaker 3: minds and their own experiences with their loved ones too.
Speaker 2: I'm so excited that science is working on this too,
Speaker 2: from the people that you mentioned in your book and
Speaker 2: people that I've interviewed, and I mentioned this on our
Speaker 2: Sunday gathering that a group of scientists have proved that
Speaker 2: near death experiences are not hallucinations. So many people who
Speaker 2: are the skeptics and the doubters, and I was even
Speaker 2: that person not oh yes, you see that white light.
Speaker 2: It's a normal part of the brain shutting down. But
Speaker 2: with the commonalities of meeting our relatives, seeing things so clearly,
Speaker 2: being accurately able to tell different things that are happening
Speaker 2: on earth while your eyes are closed, and so many
Speaker 2: other things, the clarity the visions that people have are
Speaker 2: not forgotten. There's no way it can be a hallucination.
Speaker 2: So science is a little slow to pick up on it,
Speaker 2: but so many people are looking for that scientific evidence.
Speaker 2: And when you look, there are plenty of scientists that
Speaker 2: do believe in doctors.
Speaker 3: And things, plenty of evidence.
Speaker 2: Can I ask you about your cover designs, because they're
Speaker 2: really quite special.
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you so much for asking. My son Jonathan
Speaker 3: created all of the book covers for Aaron's Energy, the
Speaker 3: first edition and the second edition, and for Gathering at
Speaker 3: the Doorway. He's a graphic artist. What he is able
Speaker 3: to come up with. All I have to do is
Speaker 3: tell him I think this is a good title for
Speaker 3: the book. And he produces artwork that's so reflective of
Speaker 3: it and missed Cole, and I believe that his art
Speaker 3: speaks about the book. And he does it all out
Speaker 3: of love, in honor of his brother, all of it.
Speaker 3: He even wrote a chapter this time. He's a shy,
Speaker 3: quiet guy, works very hard, very dedicated to his work.
Speaker 3: Not like him to write, but he wrote a beautiful
Speaker 3: chapter about his brother and his experience with his brother
Speaker 3: and his dreams.
Speaker 2: Oh that is so wonderful. Thank you, Oh Camille, I'm
Speaker 2: just setting you a big hug right now. It has
Speaker 2: been a roller coaster journey for you, but what you've
Speaker 2: found and what you've shared has changed so many lives.
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Thank you for having me. Really,
Speaker 3: I would have never dreamt of things going how far
Speaker 3: they've gone, or in the amount of time that they have,
Speaker 3: or being on your show talking with you after I
Speaker 3: first heard your podcast and was so moved by it.
Speaker 3: And if I can add that, Aaron passed away at
Speaker 3: thirty one, a young age, and everything I do with
Speaker 3: my books is in his honor and memory, and I
Speaker 3: believe he and I are working together on everything that
Speaker 3: I have done, because, as I said, I've never written
Speaker 3: a book before. I'm a former skeptic. So I'm donating
Speaker 3: all of the proceeds of my book in honor of
Speaker 3: Aaron and to places that he would have donated, I believe,
Speaker 3: and some of them he's put them in my path
Speaker 3: or he's even told me so. For instance, proceeds are
Speaker 3: going to mental health and addiction care and research programs
Speaker 3: helping parents, Heal Forever Family Foundation, to Sonia Ronaldi's Institute
Speaker 3: and her research to survival of consciousness and afterlife communication
Speaker 3: research to bereavement support groups to using young adult social
Speaker 3: development programs, and those are the categories. So under each
Speaker 3: category there's a list of individual charities that the proceeds
Speaker 3: are going to.
Speaker 2: Oh, bless you for doing that, and we can find
Speaker 2: out more at your website. You want to talk about
Speaker 2: that and what's on your website?
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 3: You can find all of my books on my website
Speaker 3: www dot aarons energy dot com. Plus on my website
Speaker 3: there's a list of referrals, references and books that I've
Speaker 3: read that I recommend, So if you're interested in any
Speaker 3: further reading from Sandra or any of the other authors,
Speaker 3: or any books that have moved me, you can find
Speaker 3: those there on the references and recommendations page.
Speaker 2: Camille, thank you so much for being our guest today.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. It's such an honor. I can't
Speaker 3: even there's not enough words for me to express my gratitude.
Speaker 2: Camille, is that wonderful lady I was telling you about
Speaker 2: at the beginning. She'll never know in this life the
Speaker 2: ripple effect of the difference she's made in so many lives. Again,
Speaker 2: her website is Aaron's energy dot com. Aarin is spelled
Speaker 2: aa r N. I want to read to you some
Speaker 2: words that Aaron said through Camille. She journaled every date,
Speaker 2: the conversations she had personally with him, and some of
Speaker 2: his words. This one is dated May twenty third. Although
Speaker 2: I am no longer present in my physical form, my
Speaker 2: consciousness continues to be present here with you. Mom, live
Speaker 2: on for me and go forward with me. June twelfth.
Speaker 2: Your loved ones and spirit are still with you. Continue
Speaker 2: to love you and share all of your life within
Speaker 2: and alongside you. The connection is never broken. We anchor
Speaker 2: our energy to you through shareable, compatible, and familiar thoughts
Speaker 2: and memories, and we are always here for you as
Speaker 2: your guides and helpers. Ask us any time and be
Speaker 2: comforted by our ever presence. We always answer your call.
Speaker 2: Look for guidance, open yourself to possibilities and to the
Speaker 2: concept of infinity, even though the perception of it seems impossible.
Speaker 2: We are not finite, and we can maintain our connections
Speaker 2: to you. Our guidance is not restricted or limited to
Speaker 2: your familiar dimensions. We are eternal and we live in eternity.
Speaker 2: June thirtieth, When we are reunited again, you will understand
Speaker 2: the joy of eternity, something you cannot understand now. You
Speaker 2: will know all of our existence and memories across time,
Speaker 2: and you will know that we have always been together.
Speaker 2: There's so much more for you in this beautiful book.
Speaker 2: Gathering at the Doorway, an anthology of signs, visits, and
Speaker 2: Messages from the afterlife. And those last words were from
Speaker 2: Camille's chapter. It's one of over forty chapters. You know,
Speaker 2: I get it. Sometimes it's really hard to believe in
Speaker 2: the afterlife. We want to, but there's something in our
Speaker 2: human brain that says, is this too good to be true?
Speaker 2: And I tell you, when you read other stories of
Speaker 2: what people are experiencing, suddenly your experiences seem to make sense.
Speaker 2: If your heart is feeling a little sore right now,
Speaker 2: or you're missing your loved one, pull out your computer
Speaker 2: or some paper and a pen and start writing to them.
Speaker 2: Write your thoughts, write your feelings, and then write as
Speaker 2: if you were them writing back to you. And something
Speaker 2: magical happens when we practice this. Suddenly you start realizing
Speaker 2: these are not your words, they're theirs, and you get
Speaker 2: that comfort that your loved ones live on and they
Speaker 2: are by your side. And you will see them again.
Speaker 2: Just a quick reminder, come visit me at We Don't
Speaker 2: Die dot com. Enter your name and email address on
Speaker 2: that front page at the bottom, and you'll get a
Speaker 2: free copy of my book, We Don't Die, a skeptics
Speaker 2: Discovery of life after Death. You're welcome to join us
Speaker 2: for our medium classes, our demonstrations are free Sunday gathering
Speaker 2: and much more. In closing, my friend, you will never
Speaker 2: see until your life flashes before your eyes the difference
Speaker 2: you make for others. But do good things make a
Speaker 2: difference for another even when nobody's watching. I'm Sandra Champlain.
