Speaker 4: Hi.
Speaker 3: I'm Sandra Champlain. For over twenty five years, I've been
Speaker 3: on a journey to prove the existence of life after death.
Speaker 3: On each episode, we'll discuss the reasons we now know
Speaker 3: that our loved ones have survived physical death and so
Speaker 3: will we. Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife. This episode
Speaker 3: will first air around Christmas time. Now I realize you
Speaker 3: may be listening to it another time of the year,
Speaker 3: so it's not technically a Christmas episode, but you will
Speaker 3: hear some advice from mediums in being in contact with
Speaker 3: your own loved ones no matter what time of the
Speaker 3: year or what occasion. Also, i'll read to you two
Speaker 3: special near death experiences that come from our friends at IANS.
Speaker 3: If you love reading near death experiences, just go to
Speaker 3: IANS dot org. That's the International Association for Near Death
Speaker 3: Studies and they have a huge database of stories. And then,
Speaker 3: in our final segment together, I'd like to take you
Speaker 3: on a little guided imageryence. I'll ask that you have
Speaker 3: your eyes closed for this part. Of course, you can
Speaker 3: always listen and replay the experience another time. Our first
Speaker 3: near death experience comes from a woman who can still
Speaker 3: clearly remember what happened to her when she was three
Speaker 3: years old. We lived in Toronto, Ontario, and on this
Speaker 3: summer day, I went to the local swimming pool near
Speaker 3: our townhouse with my father and my sister. I was
Speaker 3: three and my sister was six. We were playing in
Speaker 3: the pool for a while when my father said we
Speaker 3: needed to get out for fifteen minutes for an adult
Speaker 3: only swim. I wasn't very happy about that because I
Speaker 3: wanted to stay in the water and I didn't understand
Speaker 3: why the adults couldn't swim with us still in there,
Speaker 3: So my sister went and sat on our towels by
Speaker 3: the deep end while my dad went for a swim
Speaker 3: with his friends. I stood looking into the water near
Speaker 3: or my sister was sitting and thought about jumping in,
Speaker 3: and that I could sink to the bottom and when
Speaker 3: my feet touched I could push myself straight back up
Speaker 3: and pull myself out and no one would even notice.
Speaker 3: I wasn't sure if that would work or not, but
Speaker 3: before I gave it much thought, I just jumped into
Speaker 3: the water. The second I hit the water, I heard
Speaker 3: my sister start yelling for my dad, which was a
Speaker 3: good thing because things didn't go as planned. I started
Speaker 3: spinning and spinning and couldn't touch anything but water. I
Speaker 3: noticed that I was running out of air, and I
Speaker 3: thought for a second, uh oh. Then when I was
Speaker 3: on the bottom of the pool, I started to feel wonderful.
Speaker 3: I was so relieved that the spinning had stopped. I
Speaker 3: got up and kicked something off of my feet, and
Speaker 3: I seemed to be able to swim. Now, I figured
Speaker 3: I'd better go to the top and pull myself out,
Speaker 3: since that was my original plan. I could see my
Speaker 3: sister standing by the side of the pool looking at
Speaker 3: something on the ground, and my dad and others were
Speaker 3: there looking down too. No one was looking at me,
Speaker 3: so I figured they must have seen that I could
Speaker 3: swim now and was okay in the water, and they
Speaker 3: were busy watching something else. I guessed it must be
Speaker 3: fine for me to stay in the water, so I
Speaker 3: started to swim around again, but I remembered the look
Speaker 3: on my sister's face. She looked scared. I was curious
Speaker 3: about what they were all looking at and decided to
Speaker 3: swim back up and see. While I was on my
Speaker 3: way up there, I saw a swirl of colors in
Speaker 3: the water that turned into people. It seemed very odd,
Speaker 3: but I was watching this and never ended up going
Speaker 3: back up to see what my sister was looking at.
Speaker 3: The people I saw all looked familiar. I had seen
Speaker 3: them before in nativity scenes at Christmas, except now they
Speaker 3: were alive and life sized. It was dark around them,
Speaker 3: even though it was a nice sunny summer day, but
Speaker 3: not pitch black dark. It was dark like when the
Speaker 3: lights are off in your house in the middle of
Speaker 3: the day. I focused mainly on Mary who was wearing
Speaker 3: a dark blue robe and a lighter veil, but also
Speaker 3: noticed a man, Joseph, I assume, in a brown robe
Speaker 3: holding a staff. There was a manger, but I didn't
Speaker 3: notice if there was a baby in it, and I
Speaker 3: don't know if there were more people or animals there.
Speaker 3: Mary and Joseph were staring straight down and I just
Speaker 3: looked at them, and I was totally confused about what
Speaker 3: they were doing under the water in the pool. Then
Speaker 3: it got very bright around them all and they looked up.
Speaker 3: Mary smiled at me, and she was so beautiful. What
Speaker 3: happened next all seemed to take place in one second.
Speaker 3: It's as if Mary's face moved and I could see
Speaker 3: behind her eyes was a very bright light, and I
Speaker 3: read recognize that light, and in my head I said, ah,
Speaker 3: it's you. I knew her and was so happy to
Speaker 3: see her again. I felt so much love and remembered
Speaker 3: that I was so important. I just wanted to go
Speaker 3: to her, and I did start moving towards her, but
Speaker 3: then suddenly I was pulled out of the water and
Speaker 3: was sitting on the side of the pool. I felt
Speaker 3: so disappointed. I wanted nothing more than to go to her.
Speaker 3: I didn't know who pulled me out of the water.
Speaker 3: There was no one behind me, and my dad was
Speaker 3: standing by the fence and was very angry and yelling,
Speaker 3: which was so out of character for him. My sister
Speaker 3: was staring at me angrily with her hands on her hips,
Speaker 3: while my dad was telling me how selfish I was.
Speaker 3: Everything looked so hazy compared to the crisp, bright people
Speaker 3: I had been looking at under the water. It looked
Speaker 3: like my dad had big tears in his eyes, but
Speaker 3: I thought maybe it was just being in the water.
Speaker 3: I felt so confused. Why was my dad mad at
Speaker 3: me for being in the water when a minute ago
Speaker 3: he didn't seem to care while he was busy with
Speaker 3: his friends. When he was done scolding me, he walked away.
Speaker 3: I looked at my sister, who was still angry, but
Speaker 3: then her face softened and she said, were you scared?
Speaker 3: I looked around to make sure my dad wasn't near,
Speaker 3: and I shook my head and said, no, it was fun.
Speaker 3: Then she yelled at me and said I'd better not
Speaker 3: do it ever again. I got down on my knees
Speaker 3: near the pool and looked for the people in the water.
Speaker 3: I had no idea where they went. I didn't understand
Speaker 3: what had just happened. My dad came back and got
Speaker 3: upset that I was so close to the water again
Speaker 3: and said it was time for us to go home.
Speaker 3: While we walked home, he seemed to be back to
Speaker 3: his normal, fun dad self again, and I was so relieved.
Speaker 3: But when we walked in the house, he went straight
Speaker 3: to my mom and said that he thought he had
Speaker 3: lost me. He sounded so upset again. I really felt
Speaker 3: like he was making a much bigger deal out of
Speaker 3: it than it really was. Later, my mom told me
Speaker 3: that I really upset him and I better not do
Speaker 3: anything like that again. A few days later, we went
Speaker 3: to my uncle's for dinner and my aunt started asking
Speaker 3: me questions. She showed me pictures and statues of Jesus
Speaker 3: and she asked me if I saw him that day,
Speaker 3: and I said no. She asked me to point at
Speaker 3: who I saw, so I pointed at a nativity scene
Speaker 3: and she said, oh, baby Jesus. You saw Baby Jesus.
Speaker 3: Then she looked at my mom and dad and said
Speaker 3: she died under that water. I didn't understand why seeing
Speaker 3: baby Jesus meant that I died as far as I know,
Speaker 3: I was very much alive the whole time. No one
Speaker 3: ever questioned me about it again. Over the years, I
Speaker 3: would think about civic parts of it that baffled me.
Speaker 3: What was under the water that I had to kick
Speaker 3: my feet off of? I eventually told myself it must
Speaker 3: have been a towel that fell into the water. That's
Speaker 3: the only thing that made sense. Why did my dad
Speaker 3: leave me in the water for a while then get
Speaker 3: mad at me for being there? None of it made sense.
Speaker 3: My dad hardly ever got upset, and this was the
Speaker 3: worst I had ever seen him. I didn't understand that
Speaker 3: part until years later. Why did I see people under
Speaker 3: the water? And why did it feel so good? As
Speaker 3: I got older, I thought I must have hallucinated it,
Speaker 3: and maybe the lack of oxygen is what made me
Speaker 3: feel good. I didn't understand why I would hallucinate a
Speaker 3: Christmas Nativity scene, though, in the middle of summer I
Speaker 3: decided that some of it probably would never make sense.
Speaker 3: In two thousand and four, my dad had surgery to
Speaker 3: remove a tumor from the side of his face. The
Speaker 3: operation was supposed to take about three hours, but the
Speaker 3: tumor was more difficult to remove than they thought, and
Speaker 3: it took hours longer. His heart stopped for a while
Speaker 3: during the surgery, but they were able to get it
Speaker 3: going again. When we went to see him afterwards, he
Speaker 3: said that during the surgery he was on the ceiling
Speaker 3: watching the doctors operate on him, and he saw his
Speaker 3: face be cut open by them. I told him that
Speaker 3: maybe it was a dream, but after that knew he
Speaker 3: may have had an experience like I did. Also, my
Speaker 3: dad saw all of this from above, but he had
Speaker 3: gone blind a few years prior to that. My dad
Speaker 3: unfortunately passed away a month later and never came home
Speaker 3: from the hospital. In the summer of twenty twenty one,
Speaker 3: my sister and I were talking about that day at
Speaker 3: the pool and I said that I must have been
Speaker 3: really groggy when I got pulled out of the water.
Speaker 3: He was shocked by me, saying that she said, you
Speaker 3: weren't breathing at all. You needed to be resuscitated. That
Speaker 3: made no sense to me. Months later, when I was
Speaker 3: fifty six years old, I stumbled across near death experiences
Speaker 3: on YouTube, and it wasn't until I watched quite a
Speaker 3: few of them that I realized what actually happened.
Speaker 4: That day.
Speaker 3: Why I was able to swim if that was actually swimming,
Speaker 3: I had kicked my body off my feet, not a towel.
Speaker 3: Why when I came to the bottom of the pool
Speaker 3: I never had to go up for air. When I
Speaker 3: thought I had been pulled out of the water, I
Speaker 3: was actually sucked back into my body, which is why
Speaker 3: there was no one around me. My dad did have
Speaker 3: tears in his eyes because he thought he had lost me,
Speaker 3: and no one could see me in the water because
Speaker 3: it was my spirit or consciousness that was in there
Speaker 3: having a great time while my body was beingusitated. It
Speaker 3: took fifty three years before it all made sense, including
Speaker 3: realizing that my dad really was on the ceiling watching
Speaker 3: his own surgery. In my mind, now death is not
Speaker 3: scary because we really don't die. In fact, it's going
Speaker 3: to be amazing. Reading this story today reminded me of
Speaker 3: a man I sat next to on an airplane told
Speaker 3: me the story of when his little boy drowned and
Speaker 3: was resuscitated. He said he wasn't scared at all because
Speaker 3: the big face in the sun was there and told
Speaker 3: him he still had a lot of life to live.
Speaker 3: The kid grew up and went on making a difference
Speaker 3: with young people, making his father very proud. Let's head
Speaker 3: off to the break and when we come back, you'll
Speaker 3: hear another near death experience from a man who never
Speaker 3: believed in any of this stuff. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 3: and Coast to Coast AM Pirinormal Podcast Network. Welcome back
Speaker 3: to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain and here's
Speaker 3: our next near death experience. Diagnosed terminal with cancer and
Speaker 3: in and out of consciousness for several weeks, I had
Speaker 3: been told there was no help. I was thirty nine
Speaker 3: days into a thirty day life expectancy. I found myself
Speaker 3: in an open expanse of darkness. Oddly, it surrounded me,
Speaker 3: and even odder was I could seemingly see three hundred
Speaker 3: and sixty degrees without turning myne head. I just knew
Speaker 3: it was endless. There was a noise, or maybe best stated,
Speaker 3: a vibration or humming sound. The noise didn't scare me,
Speaker 3: In fact, it seemingly calmed me. Down in the distance,
Speaker 3: there was a soft and peaceful, reddish glow. It grew
Speaker 3: larger and larger. It seemed red, but as I got
Speaker 3: closer it appeared peach colored and pink and even maybe orange.
Speaker 3: To this date, describing the colors is difficult for me
Speaker 3: because I have never experienced colors so vivid and brilliant,
Speaker 3: almost like the phases of a cloud cluttered sunriser sunset,
Speaker 3: the way the colors evolve with the sun slipping in
Speaker 3: and out and reflecting onto the clouds. I didn't move,
Speaker 3: but I could certainly feel the glow getting larger and larger,
Speaker 3: as if I were rushing to it without any effort.
Speaker 3: There was no tunnel, as some report. The glow of
Speaker 3: red now seemed pinkish and orange and was clearly not
Speaker 3: a volcano. But as I peered over my toes, there
Speaker 3: was no end below. There was no heat or lava,
Speaker 3: just a harmonic hum and a specific odor that I
Speaker 3: didn't recognize. I remember thinking, I don't ever recall smelling
Speaker 3: anything in a dream. The smell I could actually taste
Speaker 3: like after a thunderstorm, that crisp but refreshed smell. I
Speaker 3: wasn't at all frightened. I wasn't confused either. In fact,
Speaker 3: I was at the greatest piece I've ever known, without
Speaker 3: any hesitation, A bright light shaped ball or mass appeared
Speaker 3: before me, like a giant ball of light swirling into itself,
Speaker 3: rotating in nearly every direction, highlighted by blue streaks. It
Speaker 3: wasn't perfectly round. It almost appeared jagged and occasionally squeezed
Speaker 3: into almost a thick, doughnut shaped structure of pure energy.
Speaker 3: As I focused on this center, it began to distort
Speaker 3: and glow brighter, with streaks of blue that began to
Speaker 3: outline the shape of a face emerging. The mass of
Speaker 3: light increased in brightness continually, but yet it didn't make
Speaker 3: me squint or shield my eyes. It made me feel
Speaker 3: better and more peaceful. As it grew in intensity, Suddenly
Speaker 3: there was a face that was definitive and energized. It
Speaker 3: was a face of an older man, withered in appearance.
Speaker 3: His face appeared and consumed the mass of light. His
Speaker 3: hair was longer and had gentle waves, not tight, but
Speaker 3: rolling down past what I assumed or shoulders, but unseen
Speaker 3: to me. He looked somewhat familiar, or rather felt familiar.
Speaker 3: There was a burst or vibration from him that I
Speaker 3: could feel down to the very core of my body.
Speaker 3: That was the most comfort that I have ever felt.
Speaker 3: It was like a summer breeze in your face, without
Speaker 3: a care in the world. I no longer felt physical
Speaker 3: pain as I did in my awake state, which had
Speaker 3: been so intense. It was just peace, unlike anything I
Speaker 3: had ever experienced. Then there were words. There was no speaking,
Speaker 3: as the figure's lips never moved, nor did mine, but
Speaker 3: there were words. It was a question, are you ready?
Speaker 3: It was vague but decisive, and I felt no ambiguity
Speaker 3: in its meaning. My lips didn't move, but I was
Speaker 3: able to reply, no, I'm not ready yet. Then more
Speaker 3: words came from him, there is something important you still
Speaker 3: need to do. And at the same time I felt
Speaker 3: these words, a smile began to form on the man's face,
Speaker 3: and more rays of light began to shoot out nearly
Speaker 3: every part of his face. I reached for his face,
Speaker 3: unafraid but exploring, just without thought, I reached for his
Speaker 3: face and placed my hands on his cheeks. I had
Speaker 3: originally thought he would have been well out of my reach,
Speaker 3: suspended over the expanse, but he was not. I reached
Speaker 3: out slowly and deliberately. My body vibrated, and the light
Speaker 3: grew again in intensity and brightness. As his smile expanded,
Speaker 3: I felt as if I was falling but hadn't moved. Suddenly,
Speaker 3: there were valleys and mountains and streams and small specks
Speaker 3: of numerous people and animals in the expanse below me.
Speaker 3: It was brief, but a complete vision of a peaceful place,
Speaker 3: void of definable color, but a great source of peace.
Speaker 3: The entire field of view became a white light. I
Speaker 3: felt weightless, as in God. There was a sense of speed.
Speaker 3: Somehow I felt what seemed like my body was traveling
Speaker 3: at speeds bluring my view. Within seconds, I awoke in
Speaker 3: my hospital bed. I was scared to suddenly be there,
Speaker 3: yet I still felt peaceful. I immediately assumed my encounter
Speaker 3: was a dream. But yet somehow, deep inside me, I
Speaker 3: knew it wasn't. Within minutes of this experience, I purposely
Speaker 3: and incessantly asked to see all of my doctors and
Speaker 3: asked them to explain my options and chances of survival.
Speaker 3: I told them I had to live. I told them
Speaker 3: specifically that there was something important I was supposed to do,
Speaker 3: and that this day marked the beginning of life saving
Speaker 3: treatment that would take nearly three years. There were several
Speaker 3: hurdles in those years, including a two month stint in
Speaker 3: hospice which I miraculously got better, which is still unexplained
Speaker 3: by my doctors. Around Christmas of twenty thirteen, close to
Speaker 3: the three year point, I neared what appeared to be
Speaker 3: the end of my battle. I received a homemade calendar,
Speaker 3: as usual at Christmas from my mother, with several photographs
Speaker 3: on it. As I scanned the calendar, I came across
Speaker 3: a picture of a man. I was instantly weakened and
Speaker 3: literally fell back in my seat. I was stunned and
Speaker 3: left breathless. That man on that calendar was the same
Speaker 3: face in the giant mass of light that I had
Speaker 3: experienced at Death's door in my dream. That same face,
Speaker 3: but I still didn't know who it was. Once I
Speaker 3: could muster the courage to ask the question, I was
Speaker 3: told it was my grandfather. He had died in nineteen
Speaker 3: fifty six, well before my birth, and as a result,
Speaker 3: he had never been part of my life in stories,
Speaker 3: and I had never seen any photographs.
Speaker 5: There was no.
Speaker 3: Possible way I could recognize this man. In the next
Speaker 3: few months, I discovered the near death experience ND and
Speaker 3: its history in our society. I was never a believer
Speaker 3: in these events, as perceptual prejudice dictated otherwise, although it
Speaker 3: was clear to me at this point that I certainly
Speaker 3: had one. I compared my recorded after effects to several
Speaker 3: lists developed by researchers and scientists. As you can imagine,
Speaker 3: the changes I documented were exactly the same as millions
Speaker 3: of near death experiencers around the world. This realization happened
Speaker 3: almost three years from the actual event, exactly the timeframe
Speaker 3: recorded in research, as the time frame the majority of
Speaker 3: near death experiencers go through until they're awakening or realization
Speaker 3: of the event and acceptance of the same. Without trying,
Speaker 3: I had evolved to a higher consciousness, and I had changed.
Speaker 3: I was not a believer in the afterlife. I am now. Obviously,
Speaker 3: you can't ignore millions of people who change spontaneously after
Speaker 3: a moment like this. It's hard for us to change
Speaker 3: anything about ourselves, let alone major shifts in personality since
Speaker 3: my awakening. I research, I read, and I learn, and
Speaker 3: I learn and I read. It's not all near death
Speaker 3: experienced stuff either, very little is. In fact, it's things
Speaker 3: like quantum physics, science, epiphanies of life's greatest questions, and
Speaker 3: some questions I never even considered asking. Sometimes they flow
Speaker 3: with such ease that I often just burst into laughter.
Speaker 3: Most importantly, a love for others simply cannot ignore. Then
Speaker 3: there's the calling. We all experience, the same calling to
Speaker 3: better mankind in some way. In fact, it seems this
Speaker 3: is the only question I can't answer in life. Is
Speaker 3: the one thing said in my nd I am supposed
Speaker 3: to do something important. This remains the caret I chase,
Speaker 3: and I am perfectly okay with it, as long as
Speaker 3: I keep working towards bettering mankind in some way. Here's
Speaker 3: a short end. When I was shot, I recall walking
Speaker 3: through a doorway and a staircase presented itself. I immediately
Speaker 3: ascended without thought. On the third step, I hesitated looking
Speaker 3: back down, but saw a multitude of souls standing by
Speaker 3: what seemed to be a river down below. I turned
Speaker 3: and resumed. I assent to the fifth step, where I
Speaker 3: became centered within enlightenment. My universe became clear. I could
Speaker 3: see beyond time, and there before me passed my life,
Speaker 3: the lives of my parents, the lives of my grandparents,
Speaker 3: all my accomplishments, failures, wants, needs, and desires, both past
Speaker 3: and future. It was very beautiful and a loving experience,
Speaker 3: and all thought being as one. As I reviewed the
Speaker 3: past and the future, it became clear that all was good,
Speaker 3: all was in order. I was at peace within the cosmos,
Speaker 3: and then I regained consciousness. Here's another short story. A
Speaker 3: gown named Katie says, my grandfather died at the age
Speaker 3: of seventy three from a heart attack. He had been
Speaker 3: in his garden and asked my grandma to call nine one.
Speaker 3: The ambulance arrived and asked if he could climb up
Speaker 3: on the gurney himself or not. He said he could.
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, his eyes got glassy and large,
Speaker 3: as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing, and
Speaker 3: then he said Dad, with a huge smile on his face.
Speaker 3: He passed away. We'll be right back with four mediums
Speaker 3: letting you know how to get in touch with your
Speaker 3: own loved one and an experiential journey. You're listening to
Speaker 3: Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Speaker 3: Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back to Shades of
Speaker 3: the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain and in this segment you're
Speaker 3: going to hear from four mediums. Now again, we're recording
Speaker 3: this around Christmas time, but I think the advice is
Speaker 3: good any time of the year. First will be Scott Billigan,
Speaker 3: then Dominic Bogue, then Phil Dyke's, then Carrie McLeod. Here's Scott.
Speaker 6: I think we have to realize that the language of
Speaker 6: the spirit is love, and each of us are capable
Speaker 6: of love, and therefore we can never lose touch with
Speaker 6: the spirit world. You've got to give something over for
Speaker 6: the other world to then whisper back. If you can
Speaker 6: think of your most powerful happy memory on earth, be
Speaker 6: it's within your childhood or in your adulthood, or somewhere
Speaker 6: within your timeline when you have felt absolutely the best
Speaker 6: you've ever felt, the happiest you've ever been, and think
Speaker 6: of that memory very very strongly. And what that does
Speaker 6: is creates a power, and that creates a change within
Speaker 6: your atmosphere around you, in your aura. And once you've
Speaker 6: held thought for a few moments, I want you to
Speaker 6: then think of the person you're missing today, someone who
Speaker 6: now lives and exists within the spirit world, and just
Speaker 6: kind of send the thoughts to them and say, Dad,
Speaker 6: Mum or whoever it may be, are you there? And
Speaker 6: can you fill me? Can you feel this love that
Speaker 6: I'm sending? And I want you just to become bodily
Speaker 6: aware of any kind of static or tingle feeling that
Speaker 6: you may have. Ordinarily it may be around your head
Speaker 6: or around the back of you. And when you get
Speaker 6: that tingle, just go, I'm aware. And you may find
Speaker 6: that that tingle gets a bit stronger. And sometimes when
Speaker 6: it's with myself and people who are following the altered States,
Speaker 6: you may find that that tingle makes you feel a
Speaker 6: bit tired, and that tiredness starts to wash a little
Speaker 6: bit more deeper with you. But then you can always
Speaker 6: ask whoever you're missing, and you can feel them and
Speaker 6: you recognize them. Is to say to that loved one,
Speaker 6: when you introduce me to the others that stand with me,
Speaker 6: and you may find that your helper then steps forward,
Speaker 6: and that tingle may feel different. You may start to
Speaker 6: hear your own voice within your head, and that tiredness
Speaker 6: gets a bit more deeper. And it's about learning to attune, blend,
Speaker 6: and communicate. The ABC of life in Scott's version is ask,
Speaker 6: beg and cry, because how many times as mediums we
Speaker 6: ask the spirit world, then we beg the spirit world,
Speaker 6: and then when it doesn't work, we cry. But that's
Speaker 6: very normal, So try it. When you have a moment,
Speaker 6: think of a happy memory which attunes yourself to the power,
Speaker 6: and then invite those that you miss and allow them
Speaker 6: to blend. And when they blend with you, that's when
Speaker 6: you release those thoughts. I'm aware, and I love you still,
Speaker 6: and I love you every moment of my life. And
Speaker 6: just on a personal note, everyone, what's talking to you tonight? Sandra,
Speaker 6: Dominic and myself all have fathers in the other world,
Speaker 6: and it's a painful moment when someone you love that
Speaker 6: goes over.
Speaker 7: But we also still have mothers.
Speaker 6: Here and we've got to squeeze every ounce out of
Speaker 6: that time. So I invite all of you to squeeze
Speaker 6: as much as you can from every situation, and if
Speaker 6: they go to the spirit world, sit quietly and listen,
Speaker 6: and therefore you will hear. So that's what I'm going
Speaker 6: to offer you, my little lovies, and I wish you
Speaker 6: a happy Christmas. As I hand you over to Dominic.
Speaker 4: Beautiful Scott, beautiful Ezacha Lake, Scott says, going into that
Speaker 4: happy moment or that happy memory from me as a
Speaker 4: medium allows the spirit to see your fault and that
Speaker 4: allows that loved one to recognize your thinking of me.
Speaker 4: Maybe that thinking turns into you are missing me. How
Speaker 4: do we allow the spirit world to you know that
Speaker 4: we are thinking of them or missing them? You know,
Speaker 4: you may hear crazy people like myself and Scott and
Speaker 4: Steven Sandra say talk to them? So do we talk
Speaker 4: to them? You may ask. I invite you as the
Speaker 4: festive period comes close. This is just something that I've
Speaker 4: done many times on my own. Write a Christmas card
Speaker 4: to your loved one, right, a greetings card or a
Speaker 4: festive card to maybe your mom, or your son or
Speaker 4: your best friend, to maybe is no longer here in
Speaker 4: the physical and to spending Christmas in the spirit side
Speaker 4: of life. Take a few moments to go into that stillness,
Speaker 4: like Scott said, going into that silence and within your thoughts,
Speaker 4: so within your mind where every communication begins. Get your
Speaker 4: pen and your card and write out the beautiful messages
Speaker 4: that you would like to send to them. But don't
Speaker 4: just write express the conversations, right, Maybe down the memories
Speaker 4: that you had with each other. Maybe write down the
Speaker 4: last Christmas that you celebrated. Together. When you're writing, you
Speaker 4: are becoming aware of your loved ones naturally without even realizing,
Speaker 4: and sending that thought to them by reminiscing and almost
Speaker 4: having that heart to heart conversation brings them so close
Speaker 4: that maybe your emotions get moved. Maybe other memories will
Speaker 4: come from your loved one into your mind, maybe memories
Speaker 4: you've forgotten, maybe conversations you forgot you even had. So
Speaker 4: take a moment, and that's all it is. Take a
Speaker 4: moment and write that Christmas card out to your loved ones,
Speaker 4: and don't forget to sign it at the end with
Speaker 4: lots of love. And maybe when the Christmas cards start
Speaker 4: to get delivered your friends and your family and maybe
Speaker 4: your neighbors, get that Christmas card out that you wrote
Speaker 4: for your loved one and put it out underly knowing
Speaker 4: that they would have received your thoughts.
Speaker 5: Knowing that they would have watched over your shoulder as
Speaker 5: you wrote that beautiful message for them, And just know
Speaker 5: that they'll be sending that back to you on the
Speaker 5: Christmas when it comes.
Speaker 3: And now here's Phil Dyke's then his beautiful wife Carrie McLeod.
Speaker 7: As a medium, we can work in many different ways.
Speaker 7: Tonight was about impressions, clairvoyants, different things. But as we
Speaker 7: work with those impressions, we know there's more than just
Speaker 7: a picture that we see. We know there's emotional responses
Speaker 7: that react within us. So when we receive information, that
Speaker 7: evidence is the feeling within us, emotional states, mental states,
Speaker 7: and physical states the directors in the way to use
Speaker 7: that information. So we're working within what we call a
Speaker 7: spiritual reality. Right now, I'm in what we call the
Speaker 7: normal reality, the beta frequency of the mind, where I
Speaker 7: can talk to explain things. When we work with the
Speaker 7: spirit world, the mind, the consciousness has moved and we're
Speaker 7: working with another reality and we're living it and we're
Speaker 7: feeling those emotions, and especially this time of the year,
Speaker 7: or leading up to this time of the year, when
Speaker 7: we start to remember our loved ones and the interactions
Speaker 7: and the experiences and those moments we shared, and it's
Speaker 7: those impressions that we we call back and it helps
Speaker 7: us remember who they were, how they inspired us. So
Speaker 7: those emotional impressions and feelings are really important because when
Speaker 7: we feel a little bit low, the spirit world or
Speaker 7: our loved ones react to that because they feel how
Speaker 7: we feel. And when we feel a little bit down,
Speaker 7: they choose to come forward through that love, and that's
Speaker 7: the greatest feeling of all. And when we've lost somebody
Speaker 7: and we're in that club that nobody wants to be
Speaker 7: part of, that we call grief, their loved ones come
Speaker 7: around us. They uplift us. They try and inspire us
Speaker 7: through music, through memories, through TV programs, and when we
Speaker 7: feel those low states, they want to come in and
Speaker 7: not just lifter us. They understand that connection, albeit within
Speaker 7: a different consciousness. They don't have the physical limitations we have.
Speaker 7: The feelings they have are pure unconditional love. Yes, they
Speaker 7: miss us, but it's in a different context because that
Speaker 7: love that we have touches their soul still and they
Speaker 7: want to be part of that. That's why we get
Speaker 7: the contacts we do tonight and other demonstrations is that
Speaker 7: need of love upliftment. So if we can have those
Speaker 7: feelings towards our loved ones, talk to them, joys with them,
Speaker 7: they come that little bit closer, and especially as we
Speaker 7: feel them, because just like a mother with a father,
Speaker 7: a mother with a daughter or a son, our love
Speaker 7: goes beyond those thoughts that we have and they still
Speaker 7: reach out, they still come close to us. If we
Speaker 7: can hold that in our hearts, especially at this time,
Speaker 7: because sometimes we might be on our own, we can
Speaker 7: realize that we're never on our own. They are only
Speaker 7: a thought away.
Speaker 1: Whether it's the festive season or any other religious or
Speaker 1: family occasion throughout the year, when you don't have somebody
Speaker 1: physically here every day, that they're a way that you
Speaker 1: would normally celebrate with them can bring onsets of that grief.
Speaker 1: I heard once a description of grief that you might
Speaker 1: be able to relate to. Grief is like a box
Speaker 1: a cube, and in it is a balloon, and that
Speaker 1: balloon is inflated, touching every internal side of that box
Speaker 1: or cube, and the inside of that is raw. It's painful.
Speaker 1: Through time, that balloon loses some of it's inflation, so
Speaker 1: it doesn't touch all of the sides all of the time,
Speaker 1: but boy, when it does, it's just as painful as
Speaker 1: the moment it happened. Now, that's a cost, in some
Speaker 1: respects of having loved at a really, really deep level.
Speaker 1: So it stands to reason that in order to miss somebody,
Speaker 1: we also have to remember somebody I know. I do
Speaker 1: this and Phil does this when I feel grief I
Speaker 1: also feel thanks and gratitude. It doesn't make the grief
Speaker 1: go away, but it brings more of a balance to
Speaker 1: the emotions. I expose myself to emotions of gratitude, of love,
Speaker 1: of smiles, and of happy memories. If you have both
Speaker 1: of those, it connects you, yes, through the love, but
Speaker 1: also through the memories, because if you think about it,
Speaker 1: that's what mediumship is. You meet in the same energetic
Speaker 1: memory as your loved one or friend. Imagine being able
Speaker 1: to do that for yourself. You can you feel and
Speaker 1: think memory and your loved ones join you in that
Speaker 1: same energetic experience. So whatever day is the share or next,
Speaker 1: if you ever feel a pang of grief or the
Speaker 1: pain of grief, also remember the gratitude of love and
Speaker 1: the memories that you shared keeps us together.
Speaker 4: That it does.
Speaker 3: Time for a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Shades of the Apple for Life on
Speaker 3: the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast am hair Normal Podcast Network.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain.
Speaker 3: In our last minutes today, I want to do something
Speaker 3: experiential to feel that closer connection with our loved ones.
Speaker 3: So find a place to sit where you can close
Speaker 3: your eyes for about ten minutes or so, take a
Speaker 3: few deep breaths, filling your lungs slowly and then exhaling slowly.
Speaker 3: As you continue need to take those breaths, simply listen
Speaker 3: to my words on how we receive information as souls,
Speaker 3: whether we are on this side of life or the
Speaker 3: other side. We communicate best with our emotions and our imagination.
Speaker 3: Our happiest memories and even moments of laughter are like
Speaker 3: knocking on the door to talk with our loved ones. First,
Speaker 3: we need to be in the present moment. The human
Speaker 3: mind is not easy to slow down. But as we
Speaker 3: continue to take those deep breaths, focus on each breath
Speaker 3: and how it feels breathing in and breathing out. Now,
Speaker 3: scan how it feels being in your body right now.
Speaker 3: If there is any tension or stress, send a deep
Speaker 3: breath to that area, and now just let some relaxation
Speaker 3: flow into your chest, into your lungs, down into your body.
Speaker 3: Let that relaxation flow into your arms, into your legs,
Speaker 3: into your head and neck, through the feet to the toes,
Speaker 3: and even down into your hands and into your fingers.
Speaker 3: As we continue to take those deep breaths, feel your
Speaker 3: body being supported, whether on a chair or couch. You
Speaker 3: may feel the temperature of the air on your skin,
Speaker 3: and maybe there's some outside noise around you. Just sit
Speaker 3: and take it all in in this present moment. Now,
Speaker 3: think of a loved one that no longer walks this earth,
Speaker 3: one that you have some favorite, happy or fun shared
Speaker 3: memories with. You can imagine them sitting right next to
Speaker 3: you and greet them however you would greet them in
Speaker 3: the past. Maybe a big smile comes to your face,
Speaker 3: perhaps a hug or holding their hands. Choose a great
Speaker 3: memory of a time together, and remember as much as
Speaker 3: you can about it and the joy that it brought
Speaker 3: to you. Where were you, what were you both doing,
Speaker 3: Who was there? What was happening that brought so much joy?
Speaker 3: Take a moment and recall as much as you can
Speaker 3: and the wonderful emotions of joy, happiness, laughter. As there
Speaker 3: is a big smile on your face right now, your
Speaker 3: loved one is by your side. You may wish to
Speaker 3: ask them to hold your hand or put their hand
Speaker 3: on your arm, and pay attention to how you feel.
Speaker 3: Perhaps there are some words you have for your loved
Speaker 3: one and they have for you. Take a moment and
Speaker 3: talk with your loved one and be in their presence.
Speaker 1: M d The river La ne Orbos that would.
Speaker 3: Lab your loved one continues to live and they can
Speaker 3: easily be in the world of spirit while keeping a
Speaker 3: close eye on our world. Their love for you is eternal.
Speaker 3: See that smile on their face as they spend time
Speaker 3: with you, feeling so grateful that you know how to
Speaker 3: connect with them. Now, Imagine an upcoming holiday or birthday
Speaker 3: or anne nursery. They tell you they understand that you
Speaker 3: miss them, but although you can't see them physically, they
Speaker 3: are still with you in the invisible space around you.
Speaker 3: That all you need to do is slow down and
Speaker 3: pay attention. Imagine yourself now on that special day, as
Speaker 3: you continue to feel your loved one's presence, they remind
Speaker 3: you that your life here on earth is important and
Speaker 3: to do your best to experience as much as you can,
Speaker 3: to be kind to yourself, to be kind to others,
Speaker 3: and know that you will be together again in a
Speaker 3: very special and magical place that will make this life
Speaker 3: here on earth seem like it was just a dream.
Speaker 3: My friends, our loved ones are by our sides. All
Speaker 3: we need to do is slow down, be present, recall
Speaker 3: those emotions and ask them to be with us. Pay
Speaker 3: attention in your day to day life. When thoughts and
Speaker 3: memories of a past event with your loved one seem
Speaker 3: to come out of the blue, those are their little
Speaker 3: calling cards that they are right here with you. Our
Speaker 3: time together on this episode has come to an end.
Speaker 3: Please continue to know your loved one ones are very
Speaker 3: real and always part of your life. Remember to come
