The Death Process and Connecting with Loved Ones in Spirit

The last couple years I read so many books about near death experiences, hypnosis, and mediumship that I actually stopped learning new information. This year I noticed that any new books I picked up all just fit nicely into the patterns of what I already knew. So I know exactly what happens when we die and I think it's a really important topic. Thus, I want to share a quick summary about death and connecting with loved ones.
The process of death is actually quite beautiful, no matter the type of death. Surprisingly, those under hypnosis often talk about how wonderful the death process is and talk unenthusiastically about the birth process. The birth process is like going back to a tough school after an amazing vacation, you aren't very excited about it. The death process is like returning to that amazing vacation spot.
When physical death occurs, we pop out of our body right before physical pain incurs. Near death experiencers say that this action of popping out of our bodies happens as quickly as blinking our eyes. After this happens, we find ourselves in an energy body, basically we are made of energy but look the same as our physical body. We are then pulled into a tunnel of light by an unseen force. We may be accompanied by spirit guides, angels, or loved ones. We then find ourselves at a park or welcome entrance in the spirit realm. The spirit realm is an energetic realm but it's setup to be a very easy transition from the Earth plane. It basically looks like a beautiful version of Earth. We then go through a rejuvenation process of our energy, basically cleaning any low vibe Earth remnants out of our energy. We have a welcome party with loved ones and soul group members, a life review, and meetings with our spirit guides. Then we return back to our old routine in the spirit realm, learning, traveling, and socializing. This is obviously a quick summary but hits on the key points of the process.
For those loved ones still on Earth, we often feel so much grief, missing the physical presence of our loved one. The physical presence is such a big part to living in the 3rd dimension. However, it's important to know that we can still have a relationship with our loved one, albeit a different relationship. We definitely have to work harder at it but this was part of the plan you put together when you planned your life.
Usually when a person has a loved one transition back to spirit at a younger age than expected, the purpose of this is for those still embodied on Earth to seek out spirituality. Nothing creates a longing for spirituality like the unexpected death of a loved one. I'm not referring to religion as I believe religion is a human construct. I'm talking about a spiritual connection with spirit, God/Source, angels, guides, and loved ones in spirit. When someone experiences the death of a loved one unexpectedly, there's profound grief and a desire to find that person. The thing is, they aren't a person, they are back in soul form. They no longer carry around the heaviness of the physical vehicle of a body. Must be nice!
We will of course meet our loved ones in spirit when we leave this physical dimension and return to spirit side. Until that occurs, we all have intuitive abilities to connect with our loved ones in spirit. Everyone has psychic or intuitive abilities and usually we are stronger in one or two intuitive abilities. The main list of intuitive abilities are below. There are more then this list but I'll keep it to four for simplicity sake:
Clairvoyant: Clear sense of seeing
Clairaudient: Clear sense of hearing
Clairsentient: Clear sense of feeling
Claircognizance: Clear sense of knowing
I've realized that my gift is claircognizance. This means that I receive information through the top of my head. This is why I like to write because I can type out a flow of information into a blog post or a book. Even though I am claircognizant, I got a taste of what the other clairs are like when I practiced mediumship. At the end of mediumship class, we used to come together to practice in groups of four. During this practice, I once heard a voice and it was like a whisper. I was able to hear that it was the woman's husband in spirit saying, "Kat's husband". It was so subtle but I heard it. For clairvoyance, I've received quick images in my head, and for clairsentience I have felt energy. This is totally different for everyone which is why spirituality is such an individual experience.
In order to communicate with a loved one in spirit, it's important to quiet our minds. We can do this by just wiggling our toes and focusing on our breath. We can use guided meditations to relax, or even walk in nature. It really depends on the person. We need to create an intention to connect with our loved ones. It helps to say outloud I want to connect with my grandmother for example. When we speak about our loved one in spirit or think about them they come right over. You are creating a portal to connect with them. This is just how energy works in the spirit realm, when they hear us calling or thinking of them they come over to us. As you continue to practice this, you will likely get stronger connections. You may also just feel love or peace which is them sending you that energy.
I can promise you that your loved ones in spirit watch over you. Their concept of time and space isn't the same so it doesn't feel like a long wait to them. They enjoy being on the spirit side and watching you grow. Their transition to the spirit side was a part of a plan that you put together with them. It's hard to comprehend this but it was part of your learning and growth here on Earth. We all agree to this because we are eternal souls. The soul is not concerned about going to Earth to play a part in this theater production we call life because the soul knows that it's just a play. The Earthly life is like a dream to the soul, it's just an experience.
I'm not a medium, I would say I'm a researcher into consciousness. I took mediumship classes to see if it was real and I quickly found out that it is very real. For more information about connecting to loved ones in spirit, I recommend checking out Suzanne Giesemann. She is a medium that specializes in bridging the spirit side with those grieving here on Earth. Anyone can take her mediumship classes online on the ShiftNetwork. I recommend checking out her books, website, YouTube videos, and podcasts (links below). She spends a lot of time teaching so it's hard to get an appointment. If you want to meet with a medium, I recommend Ginger Bayley (link below). She's a really good medium that I meet with once in a while. You can also find certified mediums that have been tested by organizations (links below). With all my blog posts, I share my research to expand minds and help others that are curious about these topics.
