Hi. 13 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: I'm Sanders Samplain. For almost twenty five years, I've been 14 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: on a journey to prove the existence of life after. 15 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: On each episode will discuss the reasons we now know 16 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: that our loved ones have survived physical depth and so 17 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: will we. Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife. So I 18 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: got some bad news yesterday. My ex boyfriend died the 19 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: night before last. He was in a car accident. The 20 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: family hasn't released too much more information, but I'm sure 21 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: i'll hear soon. Michael and I broke up almost three 22 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: years ago, but we were in each other's lives for 23 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: the better part of ten years, so I want to 24 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: dedicate this episode to him. Also, I want to use 25 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: our show to try to make contact, use all the 26 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: things that I've been telling you over the past almost 27 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: two years, and instead of falling prey to being a 28 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: victim of grief, be pro act tiv remembering who he is, 29 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:10,119 Speaker 1: remembering that he's still alive, remembering that he loved technology. 30 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: He had a huge sense of humor, larger than life personality, 31 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: and it's those kind of people that seem to come 32 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: through first when we're looking for evidence of the afterlife. 33 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: So Michael, this journey is with you and for you 34 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: on this episode, and at this moment, I'm not too 35 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,559 Speaker 1: sure exactly how I'm going to record it. My instinct 36 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: is to put the message out there to Michael in 37 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: the hereafter and either keep you updated every day and 38 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: do a little bit of this episode every day, or 39 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: I will tie it all up together at the end 40 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: of the week and tell you what happened. That part 41 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: still hasn't been decided, just quite yet interesting how I 42 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: met Michael. It was maybe six or eight months after 43 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: my dad died and I met a lady who was 44 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: a dating coach. And I've been forever single. Boyfriends have 45 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: come and gone, haven't lasted very long. And she challenged me. 46 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: She says, Sandra, there is something stopping you from having 47 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: a long term relationship. So I decided to hire her 48 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: as a coach, and come to find out, looking back 49 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: on my past relationships, I got my heart broken each 50 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: and every time. And she said to me, you have 51 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: such a fear of getting your heart broken that either 52 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: you stop a relationship real soon or you don't let 53 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: yourself get fully invested. And looking back in my life, 54 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: my boyfriend of many many years, my first boyfriend, dumped 55 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: me for my very best friend. So sometimes those earliest 56 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: memories really can scarre us for life. One of the 57 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: things she had me do was go on three dates 58 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: a week. I had no idea how I was going 59 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: to do this, and she said, joined some of those 60 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: dating apps, talk to people in your life, and the 61 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: more experience the better. And to be honest, I was 62 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: scared because I was still afraid that this could lead 63 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: to a heartbreak and She said, didn't you just tell 64 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: me your dad died. I said, yes, he did. She says, 65 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: how bad was the pain? And I said, oh, I 66 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,119 Speaker 1: loved him so much. It was like nothing I've ever experienced. 67 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: And she said to me, but you're alive. You've lived 68 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: through it, and I thought, yes, I have. So she 69 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: had me tell her some things about my dad and 70 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: our relationship and these great things that we did together. 71 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: Then she said, would you have traded all of that 72 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: in so you wouldn't have gotten your heartbroken? And the 73 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: truth is no, all those years with my dad, we 74 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: had great love for each other, and I would absolutely 75 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,679 Speaker 1: do it again, even though I went through such pain. 76 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: So she said, you survived that. Do you think you 77 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: will survive the breakup of a relationship? And it dawned 78 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: on me, yes, I could you know that, saying better 79 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: to have loved and lost than never to have loved 80 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: at all. Well, I decided to put myself out there. 81 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: I got a hair cut during this time with the 82 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: dating coach, and I told the hairdresser about this three 83 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: dates per week challenge. She says, I have a friend 84 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: named Michael. She says he's not good for a long 85 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: term relationship. But he's a lot of fun and he 86 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: could fill your quota for one of your three dates 87 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: during the week. Michael was up for the game, I 88 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: was up for the game. So the two of us 89 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: got together for a pizza and some drinks. Come to 90 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: find out, Michael's dad had died just about a month 91 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: before my dad had died. We had a lot in common. 92 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: He and I became good friends very quickly and started 93 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: dating each other, and looking back upon it, we probably 94 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: were better off as friends than trying to make a 95 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: relationship work. But because the two of us had suffered 96 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: such devastating loss, we didn't want to lose each other. 97 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: So we were on and off again for about nine years. 98 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: We had some amazing travels together. He completely believed in 99 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: what I was up to. In fact, he wrote a 100 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: quote inside of my book We Don't Die. He was 101 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: very psychic. We'd go to a restaurant and he'd know 102 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: the names of the waitress's children or how many children 103 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: she had. We'd be in a cab ride together and 104 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: he had no details about the cab driver. So he 105 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: bought into the reality of the afterlife. So that was 106 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: nice that he supported me on that. He was a 107 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: private investigator, and I wanted to help him make his 108 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: dreams come true, so I helped him create an audio CD. 109 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: I helped him create two little fun books about his 110 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: alter ego, even drove down to Washington, d C. To 111 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: get them in the Library of Congress. We created a 112 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: lot of memories. However, in the end we weren't a match. 113 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: His lifestyle versus my lifestyle. We couldn't fit in and 114 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: we decided to not go forward with it. We each 115 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: had love for each other, but we weren't a fit. 116 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: So for this episode, instead of me being a victim 117 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: of a person of loved very much who is no 118 00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: longer here, I thought perhaps Michael might want to do 119 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: an experiment with me. Truth be told, i have a 120 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: lot of pain in my heart right now. I'm in 121 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: a state of shock, like I just can't believe it. 122 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: Fifty four years old is too young to go, But 123 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: I thought here, I am currently with this being nine 124 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: episodes of Shades of the Afterlife. My other podcast, We 125 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: Don't Die Radio has three four episodes at this time 126 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: of recording. Who better than me to ask for signs 127 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: from a loved one? Use my toolbox, my arsenal, Whether 128 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: it's electronic voice phenomena or what I know about signs 129 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: and how they communicate to be in touch. Now it's 130 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: up to Michael. We continue our personalities when we migrate 131 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: to the spirit world, so it's up to him, but 132 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: that request is out there. Yesterday we had our Sunday 133 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: gathering and a nice fellow named Craig gave the address. 134 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: The topic was freedom, freedom to be who we are 135 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: in the world. And even though I wasn't a match 136 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: for Michael, he played full out to be the type 137 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: of person he wanted to be and do the things 138 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: he wanted to do. So that's why we're here on 139 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: earth to be fully ourselves. A couple of things happened 140 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: yesterday that gave me this little nudge that maybe he'd 141 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: like to participate with me. His nickname for me was 142 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: pretty Girl. I thought that was sweet, pretty girl he'd 143 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: always called me. Yesterday I received an email from just 144 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: one of those bulk senders and the title was pretty Girl. Now. 145 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: Instead of it trying to sell me anything, there was 146 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: simply a picture of a pretty child. So it didn't 147 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: really make sense because there was nothing more than that, 148 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: but pretty girl was the subject line. I'm taking that 149 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: as a sign. Also, yesterday I got a whiff of 150 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: his cologne. Now not just his cologne, but you know 151 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: how people have their own individual smells. Well, Michael did too, 152 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: and out of the blue, all of a sudden, there 153 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: was the whiff of it. Before I went to bed 154 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: last night, I reviewed some pictures of the two of us, 155 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: and I have lots of videos, hundreds of them in fact, 156 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: from our travels, and I feel that looking at someone, 157 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: whether it's a picture or a video, is the knock 158 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: on the door or picking up the phone to say hey, 159 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: I'm here to communicate. And so that's my game for 160 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: the next few days. Today's Monday. My show gets uploaded 161 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: to I Heart Radio on a Friday, and we'll see 162 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: how this goes. I'm signed up with Mike Dooley's Thoughts 163 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: of the Day from tut dot com and today said 164 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: look to what You're afraid of, Sandra to learn where 165 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: you can grow. And for me, I'm taking that as 166 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: I can really grow by using Michael's death to help 167 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: you and me realize that our loved ones are still around. 168 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: So just before we go to our first break, I 169 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: just want to make an announcement George Nori and Coast 170 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: to Coast a M are the proud sponsors of this show. 171 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: You can meet George nor live at one of the 172 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: upcoming events.

So let's go for 185 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: our first break, and when we come back, there's going 186 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: to be an update on the world of Michael.

And now back to Sandra Champlain 192 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: and Change of the Afterlife. Welcome back to Shades of 193 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain and on this episode, I'm 194 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: recording it over a series of days. My ex boyfriend 195 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: Michael passed away in a car accident a few days ago. 196 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: And instead of going into what my mind's telling me, 197 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: which is guilt and grief and what could have been 198 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: and you know, down that road, I decided to be proactive. 199 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: With so many hours, in so many years of afterlife 200 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: evidence and giving advice and what to do, how to 201 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: be in connection with our loved one, I decided to 202 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: take my own advice. Now I have to be honest. 203 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: There is grief. Even though I haven't seen him in 204 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: a couple of years. I looked at the calendar and 205 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: it was a good nine years that we were together, 206 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: sometimes on or most of the times on, but sometimes off. 207 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: While my grief isn't like when my dad passed away 208 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: or my grandmother passed away, it's still there. So there 209 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: have been some tears, but what really is coming up 210 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: for me is my lack of concentration, and my memory 211 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: right now stinks. It is so hard to get one 212 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: project done because is my mind just can't hold onto it. 213 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: Interesting fact about grief. We lose so many of the 214 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: healthy brain chemicals and they're rapidly depleting when we grieve, 215 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: and some of them really do monitor our mood, they 216 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: monitor our memory, So it makes sense to me. So 217 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm being very easy on myself understanding that this is 218 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: what I'm experiencing now. Our journey in a relationship was 219 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: a rocky road and at the end, I just had 220 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: to make the decision that we were better off apart 221 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: than together. I know there's two sides to every story, 222 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: but we just had some habits that we couldn't live 223 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: with with each other. And I do firmly believe when 224 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: someone passes away we go through a life review, not 225 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: a judgment, not Heaven for you, Hell for you. I 226 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: don't believe in Hell. I believe Hell is right here 227 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: on earth and fighting our inner demons in fact, but 228 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: when we go through this life review, we actually get 229 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: to see our impact on other people from their perspective. 230 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: So while I believe that Mike has gone through this 231 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure on his side he saw exactly how I felt, 232 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: and I have had a lot of compassion for him, 233 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: knowing his past and what made him into who he was, 234 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: I guess still is because he's still around. Part of 235 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: my advice when looking for signs from a loved one 236 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: is to be present. I have a calendar that every 237 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: day you can tear off a different quote, and the 238 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: one that I recently got was when there's forgiveness present 239 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: and compassion, it just helps you live so much easier. 240 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: And so I feel that with Michael, there is compassion, 241 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: there's forgiveness, there's love, there's forgiveness for myself. We all 242 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: do the things we know to do, and the best 243 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: things we know to do at the time we do them. 244 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: Another thing is on Monday's there's a class with Scott Milligan, 245 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: who's the world's leading physical medium and he's also a 246 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: trance medium. You've heard me play some of the recordings 247 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: of him on past episodes. While in our class, he 248 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: did a guided meditation and had us sit in a 249 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: room and invite our loved ones in, and it really 250 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: was a very clear experience that I got to see Michael, 251 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: see his face right in front of me, feel the 252 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: stubble of his beard, hold his hand, and I felt 253 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: very very close to him. And that reminded me that 254 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: I recorded Episode ninety three for You, which is a 255 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: series of different meditations and at the end you get 256 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: to reun with your loved one in the spirit world. 257 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: I listened to that as well. And my favorite place 258 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: in the world is Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and I 259 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: had been there with him, and so it was very 260 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: easy to put myself on the beach and allounge share 261 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: talking to him and being with him. It was so clear, 262 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 1: it felt so real. One of the things I talk 263 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: about is how you feel like it's just your imagination, 264 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,239 Speaker 1: and so I keep catching myself saying, oh, it's just 265 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: my imagination. And that's one of the warnings that I 266 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: have is we human beings will chalk everything up to 267 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: our imagination. But that's how our loved ones communicate, and 268 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: things take time. He's still him with his own personality, 269 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: and there's nothing to say that he's going to want 270 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: to give me signs twenty four hours a day, seven 271 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: days a week. He's got plenty of friends out there 272 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: in the world that loved him dearly. That I'm sure 273 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: he is in touch with. In fact, one of the 274 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: gals who let me know about his death did not 275 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: know many of the details except for a car accident, 276 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: and she didn't know how she was going to find out. 277 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: And she called me yesterday and she says, you're never 278 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 1: going to believe this. In a city of Boston, which 279 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: is pretty big, she ended up pulling into a pharmacy 280 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: to pick up a few things. Well, Michael's sister pulled 281 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: in at the same exact time and she was able 282 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: to ask questions. So she had to call me to 283 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: say it had to be a sign in a big 284 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: city like Boston, how the two of them could pull 285 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: in at the very same time. So we got some 286 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: questions answered, which I won't devolved just because of the 287 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: family here today. Last night, before I went to bed, 288 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: I tried to do an electronic voice phenomena e v 289 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: P recording. Didn't work. I scoured through my room to 290 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: try to find my digital tape recorder. Can't find it. 291 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: I am living with my mom right now in my 292 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: main home is a couple hours from Yere, and I'm 293 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: pretty darn sure I left it at my other house. 294 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: Why I tell you this is I feel that electronic 295 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: voice phenomena works doing these recordings because when you record 296 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: the sound of I used rain drops last night, our 297 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: loved ones can rearrange the sound within the recorder if 298 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: they choose to and leave us messages. People that have 299 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: tried to do this on iPhones and computers that may 300 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: not always work. All I had was my iPhone, so 301 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: I decided to try a recording on that. Now, again, 302 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: it could be a number of things. It could be 303 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: the iPhone that doesn't work. It could be Michael just 304 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: isn't participating right now. It could be that he tried 305 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: and it was so weak he couldn't get through. There 306 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: could be several different things. So for me, I'm going 307 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: to try again today. My gut instinct is I don't 308 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: have the right recorder, But you know what we are 309 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: products of. He was really big into technology, so it 310 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: doesn't hurt to try now. Something important to do is 311 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: to stay in the present moment. Our mind wants to 312 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: go through the past and very often wants to put 313 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: in thoughts of guilt and what could have and should 314 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: have been done differently. Well, again, we did everything we 315 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: knew to do at the time, so that doesn't work. 316 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: But staying present. I got this little thought. Listen to music. 317 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: Music is a great way people can come through. So 318 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: I turned on the radio and the first song that 319 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: came on was Brian Adams Heaven listening to the words, 320 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: which is important to do. It's a song about in 321 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: our younger years and the things we did together and 322 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: now we're in heaven. That hit me as a little message, 323 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: a little sign. Again, Was it him? Was it my imagination? 324 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter, because did it make me feel better? Absolutely 325 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: it did. I've often said to a way to knock 326 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: on the door of heaven and let them know that 327 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: you're thinking about them is to look at pictures, talk 328 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 1: to them, be open for thoughts that come into your 329 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: mind or memories. I took some time before I went 330 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: to bed, and I actually scrolled through many years of 331 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: text messages and also a lot of photographs, and he 332 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: and I did a lot of traveling together. I got 333 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: to remember so many good times. This is an interesting 334 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: thing that happened. I kept hearing in my mind in 335 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: his voice, Oh and remember we did this, Remember we 336 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: did this. It was like he was with me, looking 337 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: at the pictures and reminding me of the different things 338 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: we did together. Our Sunday gathering is one of the 339 00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: most powerful things that I have to witness every week. 340 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: And our mediums are not vague. They don't say, I've 341 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: got your mom here and she had an m name. 342 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: No no, no, no no. While mainly names aren't important 343 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: and those don't come through, the personality and the things 344 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: that people did together comes through. And also it's so 345 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: obvious that those folks in the spirit world are alive 346 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: with us in our life because through the mediums they're saying, yesterday, 347 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: I was with you when you did this. Every morning, 348 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: I see you kiss my photograph, you know whatever. Those 349 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: things are there right there. So for me to be 350 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: able to witness this every single week is a gift 351 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: to me to let me know that Michael is still 352 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: around healthy, well, he gets to pick his best age, 353 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: he's with his parents, and I know he had a 354 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: number of friends that went before him. Does it make 355 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: it easier for us left back here on earth? Yes, 356 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: and no. Grief is something that is so real and 357 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: so different for each one of us that we do 358 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: have to honor and respect the time that it takes. 359 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 1: When I look at my thought of the day for today, 360 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: it says you can't live your life for other people. 361 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: You've got to do what's right for you, even if 362 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: it hurts some people you love. And that was profound 363 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: to me because when I did make that decision that 364 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: we're better apart than we are together, it was a 365 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: time where I knew we each had to live our 366 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: own life and what's important to us and be apart. 367 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: And it was comforting to hear that in the message. 368 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: I took a little sneak peek at my message for 369 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: tomorrow and it says music washes away from the soul 370 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: the dust of everyday life. And for me on taking 371 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: that as a sign that keep the music playing and 372 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: listen to the words. Also, one last thing is he 373 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: had a very distinct logo for his business. He was 374 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: a private investigator. And last night in my dream, I 375 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: was holding a book and when I went through the 376 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: pages of the book, one of the advertisements in it 377 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: was his with that logo. So we're gonna take a 378 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: break and some time is going to pass before I 379 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: record again. Hopefully i'll have some new details for you. 380 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: And here's a quick quote by Richard Back. Don't be 381 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can 382 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: meet again, and meeting again after moments or lifetimes is 383 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: certain for those who are friends. We'll be right back. 384 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the I 385 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: Heart Radio and Coast to Coast A m here a 386 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: normal podcast network.

Now 391 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: let's get back to Shades of the Afterlife with Sandra Champlaine. 392 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra champlain 393 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: and quite honestly, I didn't record yesterday like I thought 394 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: I would to give you updates. But I do have 395 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: some updates about getting signs from Michael, I really do. 396 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: The biggest one is a reading that I got, a 397 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: medium reading that I got yesterday morning. I wanted to 398 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: start out with a couple of things, most recent things first, 399 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: and then I'll go to the reading. Okay, many people 400 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: believe birds are assigned from their loved ones and this 401 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: is a funny because as I look out my window, 402 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: I have seven beautiful red cardinals. Now you might think 403 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: that that's a sign, but I have three bird feeders 404 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: and often have cardinals, so there's feathers on the ground. 405 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: And we have to use our common sense about signs. 406 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: We really do, so I'm not going to take the 407 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: birds as a sign. I mentioned in the last segment 408 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: about listening to music. I have had a light rock 409 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: and roll station playing as much as I possibly can. 410 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: Michael and I had some favorite songs together. We also 411 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: had some entertainers that we had private jokes about and 412 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: wouldn't you know today, so of those songs were played. Also, 413 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 1: some of the songs that played, I really listened in 414 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: with a keen ear to the lyrics and they were 415 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: so touching. Again, my imaginations trying to fight me saying, oh, 416 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: it's just a coincidence, But I have to remind myself 417 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: that messages are very subtle. Do they make a difference? 418 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: Do they make you feel better? And I have to 419 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: tell you these did, absolutely they did. Also, I had 420 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: talked about trying to do another e v P recording 421 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: Electronic Voice Phenomena, and I've decided not to try it 422 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: with my iPhone. I have heard from several people who 423 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: use something called an e v P maker. It is 424 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: software for a Windows based computer that you can take 425 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: a voice of someone and it will chop up the 426 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: words and rearrange all the sound particles, and so you 427 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: can do a recording and see if the love one 428 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: will rearrange and put them into words. Crazy me. I 429 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: have a Mac computer, not a Windows based computer, so 430 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: I actually ordered a cheap Windows based laptop. It's going 431 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: to arrive tomorrow and see if I can work with 432 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: Michael in the Afterwardlife and see if we can get 433 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: some of these recordings, see if we can get his voice. 434 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: I can't promise you it's going to be for our 435 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: next segment because I need to upload this episode to 436 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,239 Speaker 1: I Heart Radio tomorrow morning. But stay tuned in the 437 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. I'm going to really give this 438 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: a go and hoping that Michael is participating from the 439 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: Afterlife and wants to try this. I have a sneaky 440 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: suspicion he will. I want to tell you I woke 441 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: up this morning from a wonderful dream. Michael was in 442 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: the dream being very caring and affectionate, and he was 443 00:29:55,320 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: holding my cat, Millie. Now Millie died several years go. 444 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: She who was the only cat that I really loved. 445 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: I never was a cat person, but this cat snuck 446 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: into my house and she snuck into my heart, and 447 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: it was devastating when I had to make the decision 448 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: to put her to sleep because she was very sick. 449 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, the day after I put her to sleep, 450 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: I had to read my book one final time before 451 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: it went to print. It's the last thing I wanted 452 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,479 Speaker 1: to do, because anyone who has had pets know that 453 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: you can love them much more than you love some people. Right, 454 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: I was not in the mood, but I had to 455 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: do it, so I was deeply grieving. I read my 456 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: own book, We Don't Die. Not only did it help 457 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: me understand the grief that I was experiencing, but it 458 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: gave me that faith that Milly lives on and that 459 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to see her again, So there was a 460 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: gift in it. I also think I'm finding the gift 461 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: in Mike's passing, not that he was meant to die 462 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: because of helping me. No, I'm not saying that. However, 463 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: to be pro active and not fall victim to grief 464 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: and woe is me and what I could have, should 465 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: have would have done differently a couple of years ago. 466 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: I'm actually reaching out saying, let's have the relationship we 467 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: never had before. You have now been able to understand me. 468 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:29,479 Speaker 1: From my perspective, I've forgiven myself, I've forgiven you, and 469 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: let's move forward. So while it seems like this conversation 470 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: is just happening in my imagination, I am trusting that 471 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: he is really listening. Because I had a medium reading 472 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: yesterday morning. Catherine Shirley was the medium that did the 473 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: reading with me. She and her husband Mitch are very 474 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: close friends with Carry McLeod and Philip Dike's that are 475 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: our teachers for our mediumship classes and also are usually 476 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: the mediums on our Sunday gathering this coming weekend to 477 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: Carry and Fill are busy, so Kath and her husband 478 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: Mitch are going to be the mediums. I asked Kath 479 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: if she would try and experiment with me. All I 480 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: told her is that I had a friend who has 481 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: just recently passed and wondered if she'd be willing to 482 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: do a medium reading on me now because we're friends. 483 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: I was assuming she might say no, But then I thought, 484 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: maybe she'll say yes, because she doesn't know anything really 485 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: about my life. She might have read some things in 486 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: the book, but she doesn't know any details. And I 487 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: have to tell you, no one in my circle of 488 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: friends right now, besides my mom, knows of Michael or 489 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: the relationship that I had with him. So she said yes. 490 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: And when we spoke yesterday, she didn't know if my 491 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: friend was a male or a female. And in the 492 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: very beginning, she said, I have a gentleman with me, 493 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: And when you work with a medium, you should only 494 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: say yes, no, or I don't know, don't volunteer information. 495 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: We all really want to believe that the medium brings 496 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: through our loved one. There should be specifics, there should 497 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: be shared memories, you should feel the emotion. So when 498 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: she said it's a man, I'm thinking yes, I said yes. 499 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: And she said he used to tease me about how 500 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: much I believed in the afterlife. I said yes, And 501 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: he wanted to believe and eventually did, but he still 502 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: wasn't sure. And all that made perfect sense because that's 503 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: how he talked about it. She says, he believes on 504 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: right now. He got over there and said, holy cow, 505 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: it's all real in more colorful language as he would say, 506 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: and told her that it's more real than our reality. 507 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: That he learned really fast how to communicate because it's 508 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: important to me and important to give his friends signs 509 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: as well. She knew that he had just passed. She 510 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: knew there hasn't been a service yet. This is all correct, 511 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: by the way, she said, he didn't supply information as 512 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: to what brought him over there, but there was no suffering. 513 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 1: He was here one minute and over there the next, 514 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: and that gave me great amount of comfort to know 515 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: that there was no suffering. Next, she said that I 516 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: helped him write books, and that is a yes. There 517 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,720 Speaker 1: were two small books that he wrote, and I helped 518 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: him publish them and get them on Amazon. She said, 519 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 1: he's showing me cartoons, cartoon characters. Well, on the front 520 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 1: of these books are cartoon characters. She says, there are 521 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: things on Amazon that are currently for sale of his 522 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: and the answer is yes, those books are still on Amazon. 523 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 1: She proceeded to tell me about our travels together, how 524 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: we went on car trips, airplane trips, that we had 525 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: been close a number of years, but not close the 526 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: last few years. Of course, that was all right. She said. 527 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: He was very protective, and I tell you he was. 528 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: He was a private investigator. He was very protective of me, 529 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 1: she said. When we went for dinner, she says, used 530 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,320 Speaker 1: to always sit at the bar, not at a table. 531 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: Absolutely correct. She said. I helped him become confident, how 532 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: I spoke to him, how I believed in him, how 533 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: I helped him become courageous, and things he was worried about. 534 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: And yes, I helped him with several things, and helped 535 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: him get on a television show and a radio show. 536 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,839 Speaker 1: It just totally changed his path and he became so 537 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,240 Speaker 1: confident he actually got into politics. No matter how tough 538 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: he showed the world. He was each one of us 539 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: human beings. All have our doubts and fears, and it 540 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: really does help to have someone in our corner and 541 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 1: someone believe in us. And that's who I was for him. 542 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,879 Speaker 1: So it was really nice that she shared that there's 543 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 1: some personal things that I won't share what she said. Also, 544 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: what she got right was his sense of humor. My gosh, 545 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: was he sarcastic. He was funny, He was outspoken, he 546 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: was opinionated. He either loved him or hated him, and 547 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: he didn't care what people thought about him, so she 548 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: brought all of that out. She also said he wanted 549 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 1: me to know that he does not have a halo, 550 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: that he is still no angel, and that made me laugh. 551 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 1: There were promises we made to each other that she new. 552 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,879 Speaker 1: There were travels that we had planned that we had 553 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 1: never taken that she knew. She really could see even 554 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: though he had the tough exterior, he had a gentle 555 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 1: and loving interior. And I know I'm sharing the story 556 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,720 Speaker 1: of someone and it may not resonate to you because 557 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 1: you didn't know him, or it may not sound specific enough. 558 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: I'm not giving you all the details just to keep 559 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: it personal, but I tell you, in my heart of hearts, 560 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: she had him and one of the last things she 561 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 1: said was that he's going to stick by my side 562 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: because I stood by his side. If you want to 563 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: look up who medium Catherine Surely is, you can see 564 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: her website with her husband at the Soul Trust dot com. 565 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: I sure wish mediums in the world were the same, 566 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: and I have to be honest, a lot of the 567 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: mediums in England have a code of ethics that no 568 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: one else does. If you don't feel you're getting good 569 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: evidence in the first ten minutes, you don't pay and 570 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: the reading comes to an end. Also, readings are reasonably priced. 571 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: You can get a whole bunch of information out in 572 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 1: a half an hour and don't spend more than a 573 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: hundred dollars for half an hour. If that could be 574 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 1: a code across the board with people, I think the 575 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: mediums would do find financially, and I think people wouldn't 576 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: be taken advantage of because I think in every industry 577 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: they are. I'm very passionate about raising the level of 578 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: mediumship in the world, and it's starting with the classes 579 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: that we teach online. Hopefully we'll have some certification in 580 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: the future. So let's go for our last break and 581 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: then who knows what you'll hear from me tomorrow.

Welcome back 590 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain. I've got 591 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: a little sleepiness in my voice. It is Friday morning 592 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 1: and it's just about time for me to upload my 593 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: podcast to my Heart radio, So I just want to 594 00:39:55,640 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 1: give you the updates since I recorded yesterday. I ish 595 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: Michael had shown up in my dreams last night. He 596 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:09,399 Speaker 1: did not. However, something interesting did happen before I went 597 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 1: to bed last night. I just imagined him in my 598 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: room with me, and I do believe with every fiber 599 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 1: and cell in my body, when we start communicating with 600 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,879 Speaker 1: them and visualizing them, that's the knock on the door. 601 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: I'm ready to talk and they can multitask, they can 602 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: be with us and be doing other things. I felt 603 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 1: like he was right there with me. My imagination can 604 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 1: certainly invent what he looks like and what he sounded like. 605 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 1: But when I let go and stay in the present moment, 606 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 1: there's this other feeling as if how do I describe this? 607 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,800 Speaker 1: It's as if I'm witnessing him, not creating him. Hard 608 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 1: to describe the feeling but I talked to him, grief 609 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: is certainly present, and there's uh missing, and there's um apologies. 610 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 1: You know, there's all kinds of things within every relationship 611 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: that may not get settled if someone passes. So I 612 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:17,240 Speaker 1: was verbalizing those, and in my mind I heard apologies back. 613 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 1: I heard silly things he would say, but not like 614 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: I was inventing them. It's just like they were there. 615 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 1: At one point, I was reminiscing about some of the 616 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: trips we took and the different beaches we went to 617 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: all over the place, and I said, oh, when we 618 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: were in California, we never made it to a beach together, 619 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden in his voice, I hear, oh, 620 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 1: remember we took the bus to Manhattan Beach and that's 621 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 1: where we got the Great Hamburgers. It was right there. 622 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: Now as I'm talking to you, I'm also getting and 623 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 1: don't forget. We went to the magic show. We rented 624 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: a car and we drove down to I think it 625 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,120 Speaker 1: was Redondo Beach and we went to the comedy and 626 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: magic theater. Isn't that interesting? Not looking for it, and 627 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: it just shows up. Pictures show up, feelings show up, 628 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: memories show up, just like that again, the brain wants 629 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: to try to convince me this is all my imagination, 630 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 1: it's all made up, but yours truly right here has 631 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: been on this journey twenty five years plus. Actually I 632 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,759 Speaker 1: have witnessed miracles. I don't know if you follow my 633 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: other podcast, We Don't Die Radio. I try to keep 634 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: it different from this one, although sometimes there's some guests 635 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,319 Speaker 1: that overlap. So I'm going to do a little bit 636 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: across pollination right now just to share with you some 637 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 1: things that you may be interested in if you're looking 638 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 1: for a loved one in the afterlife. The first one 639 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 1: I want to mention is episode three hundred and seventy zero. 640 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 1: It was with Stephen Simon, who was the film producer 641 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,280 Speaker 1: and the creator of the film with Robin Williams, called 642 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 1: What Dreams May Come. The title episode is called what 643 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: Dreams Have Come because his wife has passed. He feels 644 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: that she's a very big part of his life now. 645 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: He hears her voice in his mind, he can feel 646 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 1: her presence, and I, for one, I'm interested in going 647 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: back and listening to that episode now that I have 648 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:36,719 Speaker 1: a male friend who is in that world. It's a powerful, 649 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,400 Speaker 1: powerful episode, and he has written a book about it 650 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 1: called What Dreams Have Come. Also, on my most recent 651 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: episode three hundred and eighty four, Tina tash A wrote 652 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 1: a children's book helping kids with grief and also to 653 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: let them know that their loved ones are around. She 654 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: has received some wonderful communication and signs and even heard 655 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: some things from her brother who has passed, and within 656 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 1: each one of us adults is a big kid. And 657 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,399 Speaker 1: it's one of those flip books, so you can read 658 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 1: half of it and then flip it upside down and 659 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,320 Speaker 1: read the other half. And so one half is about 660 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,360 Speaker 1: communicating and knowing that our loved ones are in spirit, 661 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: and the other side is honoring our grief. One more 662 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:32,280 Speaker 1: I'd like to recommend is episode three three with Jan Warner. 663 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 1: She wrote the book Grief Day by Day. She also 664 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 1: has a Facebook group of almost two and a half 665 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 1: million followers. Her Facebook group is called Grief Speaks Out. 666 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: Jan believes that her husband is with her. She shared 667 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 1: in that episode such touching stories of knowing he's with 668 00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 1: her and also how to deal with grief. I was 669 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:06,239 Speaker 1: busy this morning packaging some things to mail, and it 670 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,800 Speaker 1: was freedom for my brain because I wasn't experiencing grief. 671 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, the thought popped back in 672 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,720 Speaker 1: Michael's gone he died in a car accident. Oh my gosh. 673 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: And it took something to remind myself what I'm up 674 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:26,719 Speaker 1: to honor the grief because you know it, I know it. 675 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,279 Speaker 1: It's automatic. The only way to the other side of 676 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,400 Speaker 1: grief is right through it. And it stinks because sometimes 677 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,440 Speaker 1: if you hear of someone else's loved one who passes, 678 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 1: it just brings the grief right back. The best thing 679 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 1: we can do is to understand it, be armed with 680 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:50,280 Speaker 1: things we can do proactively, like journaling, like going outside 681 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 1: for a walk, like meditation, like listening to some empowering 682 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:59,720 Speaker 1: podcasts that talk about loved one still being alive, having 683 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:04,880 Speaker 1: tools to connect with them, listening to music, being in 684 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,799 Speaker 1: the present moment, and in that moment, you may see 685 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 1: them in the corner of your eye. You may feel 686 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:16,080 Speaker 1: their presence, you may smell their cologne, all signs from 687 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,160 Speaker 1: them that they are here. There's one thing I have 688 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 1: not yet tried with Michael. I just thought of it now. 689 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 1: To sit and invite your person to walk really close 690 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:33,799 Speaker 1: to you, close your eyes, take some deep breaths, and 691 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 1: ask them to step really, really, really close slowly and 692 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:43,359 Speaker 1: see if the hairs on your arms start to stand up. 693 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,959 Speaker 1: Depending on the relationship, you might want to ask them 694 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: to touch your head, put a kiss on your cheek, 695 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 1: maybe a kiss on the lips, or a kiss on 696 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 1: the forehead. Ask them to stand back, see if you 697 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:02,320 Speaker 1: can feel the difference. Ask to stand forward again, move forward. 698 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,400 Speaker 1: I wish there was a magical recipe for this, but 699 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:12,280 Speaker 1: as in any relationship, there are two people involved. Both 700 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 1: need to be willing and able to do this. I 701 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:21,280 Speaker 1: know that there are people that were really outspoken in life, 702 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,680 Speaker 1: and I think those are the type that become really 703 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 1: outspoken in death. When we have our Sunday gathering each week, 704 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:34,720 Speaker 1: there are some people that come through more often than others, 705 00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, well, they had a really outgoing personality, 706 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,560 Speaker 1: whereas someone like my grandmother is the type that would 707 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 1: let everyone else go before she did. I'm also tempted 708 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 1: to rejoin our Thursday mediumship class with Carrie McLeod and 709 00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:03,240 Speaker 1: Philip Dike's. When you learn mediumship, it's a very safe 710 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 1: place to practice with other people. In fact, we have 711 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,840 Speaker 1: a Facebook group and people from all over the world 712 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 1: that our students say, hey, is anybody available two o'clock 713 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 1: Eastern time on Monday, and you can meet however you 714 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,839 Speaker 1: want to meet on zoom or a phone call, and 715 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 1: you get to practice your mediumship on each other. Very 716 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:30,880 Speaker 1: safe mediumship takes time. It's not something you can just 717 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,759 Speaker 1: take a weekend course and that you have it. And 718 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,120 Speaker 1: we also recommend that people start with our psychic course 719 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 1: because once you start working with people soul to soul 720 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 1: and you start understanding how your soul picks up information 721 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:49,800 Speaker 1: and communicates information, and then you have a live person 722 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,879 Speaker 1: that can say yes that's true, Yes, that's true. Then 723 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 1: you use that same psychic faculty and you trust when 724 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 1: you turn to someone in the spirit world that information 725 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:05,840 Speaker 1: that you are being shown and feeling is accurate. My 726 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,800 Speaker 1: grandmother has never come through in a big demonstration with people, 727 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,880 Speaker 1: but in the Thursday classroom, when we're in those breakout 728 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 1: rooms and it's just one on one with another student, 729 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 1: she's come through. I've had friends come through, family members 730 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 1: come through. Sometimes nobody comes through, as depends on how 731 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,840 Speaker 1: we're feeling that day and how the sitter is feeling 732 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:36,560 Speaker 1: that day. But each one of us has the ability 733 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 1: to use our soul powers. It takes being present, it 734 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 1: takes doing exercises like sitting in the power that I mentioned, well, 735 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,920 Speaker 1: you can hear about it on episode nine. It takes 736 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,560 Speaker 1: that commitment, and it takes wanting to be of service 737 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,920 Speaker 1: to other people. And when you give, you know you 738 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:02,800 Speaker 1: also receive. So those episodes I had told you about, 739 00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,279 Speaker 1: you can find them all at my home base, which 740 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,960 Speaker 1: is We Don't Die dot Com.
