How to Survive Feeling Like a Deceased Loved One is Still With You...

Our heart felt sympathies to those who have lost a loved one.

When we lose a loved one to death of their physical body, they really aren't lost. Our physical brain and physical world teachings tell us they are lost, gone forever, but our spiritual essence knows they are still with us albeit in another form. The grief we experience after the death of a loved one takes us to another world - a surreal reality where we function as if on autopilot often times feeling as if we are drowning in sadness.

As the days and weeks pass at times we may feel as if our loved one is still with us, feeling their presence with a tickle of joy in our hearts. Our human brain then steps in and tells us they are dead - gone. Yet... there it is again! That tickle of joy that reminds us of them. What is this? It is our loved one in spirit form - still with us.

On October 31, 2005 my dad, Big Jim, died during open heart surgery. Within a few hours of my being told he had died he was here, at my house, in spirit form causing my poodle puppy, Majik, to growl. I knew he was here. I could feel it - I could not see him, but Majik could. As the days and weeks passed, Daddy came back often chatting with me and giving me fatherly advice. One day as I was raking leaves the bag kept falling over so I asked him to help me - he informed me he didn't like yard work while living and he wasn't going to do yard work as a dead person. Yup, that's my dad, same sense of humor!

I began to share my visits with Daddy with the Soul Kisses readers, then he started dictating an article for the Soul Kisses newsletter. Next think I knew he wanted to write a book about our continued relationship since his death. Together we wrote Waiting in the Other Room to help those who FEEL their deceased loved ones are still with them, but they think they are unable to validate it. Our prayer is that our story will help others to not only survive the loss of a loved one, but to continue their relationship for Love Never Dies - it lives on in spirit form!

Also included in the book is the method I used to communicate with my grandfather while he was living with Dementia and could no longer communicate. I was able to connect with his higher self and give messages to my grandmother that gave her great comfort as his physical body failed. The messages amazed me leaving me in no doubt that we were, indeed, communicating through our higher selves with 700 miles between our human bodies.

Waiting in the Other Room provides tools to help move on with life without our loved one including a meditation to connect with them. To get your copy click here. Be sure to register for the drawing of the prizes and to receive the wonderful bonus gifts from our sponsors!

May you recognized and embrace the love of your deceased loved one!

In love and light,

Communicating Through Dementia

Sacred Space ~ Build It and They Will Come

Breathe in THIS Moment...

The past few weeks I've been a very busy girl between the Waiting in the Other Room book launch, 31 Days to Fulfillment, 30 Days to EveryDay Miracles, family and clients. At one point I was thinking that when I've completed my work on the book launch I will relax, BREATHE and return to a routine. I clearly heard "yeah, right..." Not sure who was whispering in my ear, but they were correct. The routine that I have come to expect is gone forever, as gone as life pre Civil War. The southerners lives changed the moment the first shot was fired, mine changed when I printed Waiting in the Other Room.

So now that I have recognized that life has change all that is left to do is to BREATHE now, to relax now and to live in this moment in joy. I still have a huge "to do" list, but I'm not so anxious about it and this process of fulfilling my dream has become easier and a LOT more fun. I'm sure my family thanks me for realizing this.

In the middle of adding sponsors to the book launch website pages it was 2:10pm on Sunday afternoon. It was five minutes to kick off of the Bronco game with the Patriots. I managed to see kick off and stay out of my office for the entire game. At one point I was sitting there with my family and told them - "Wow, we're watching the Bronco game in HD together with good food, life is good!" I can't say that I was totally relaxed, the game did get exciting a time or two and some yelling was done by me, but I was definitely breathing and having a good time - and we won!

At the end of the game our new coach Josh McDaniels was running down the field letting loose his emotions. I loved it! I feel like that - a few weeks ago I felt like I was running screaming into the night in overwhelm and anxiety, but now I'm running into this next phase of my life with grand, glorious excitement - enjoying the journey and embracing the change!

What about you? Are you waiting for something to happen before you enjoy your life? Kids off to college? Next summer? Ski season? Vacation? Don't wait! Enjoy this moment - BREATHE into this moment and embrace the joy to be had - it is a choice!

May you embrace the joy of living in this moment!

In love and light,
Kate

Reconnecting with Self...

This morning I woke at 4 something - o'dark thirty... Surprisingly I felt refreshed and my guides showed me the words "Reconnecting with Self". Then we talked about it and I went back to a sound sleep. I hope I can remember the conversation!

I don't know about you, but at times I get so caught up in my "hurry up and get it done" days that my time becomes a blur and literally seems to evaporate! I am reminded - usually through upsetting situations to slow down and Live in the MOMENT.

If I stop the crashing, chaotic momentum and BREATHE I hear birds singing outside, I notice my puppy panting and breathing hard because he was running around playing and now he's ready for a nap. I feel the cushion of the chair against my legs and back and I truly experience the breath as I pull it into my body and exhale it. And... the answers to whatever dilemma I'm working on appear.

Living in this moment moves us from the frantic pace of our physical world and reconnects us with the God Part within - Self - the place of all creativity.

Some people are afraid to do this - to be alone with who they are. Are you?

The 31 Days to Fulfillment continue daily - looking within to discern who we truly are - connecting with our Authentic Self as One with the Creator of All That Is. Our POWER lies in this connection - our ability to create the life we truly desire and to experience true joy and happiness from deep within. It is through this connection that we may discern and release all that no longer serves us and move forward embracing the essence of who we truly are - Self! It is through this connection that the pathway is open before us - illuminated and welcoming with angelic beings to help us with every step.

Cast fear aside, look within, discern who you are - open your heart to the tools (books, teachers, classes, the pen to write in your JOURNAL) and connect with the essence of you - Self.

Self has an infinite field of possibility. Aren't you ready to understand it? Now is the time, grasp it with both hands, pull it into your reality and live!

Acknowledge who you are - a limitless spiritual being of infinite possibility!

Big Jim shared a message with us in the October 5, 2009 newsletter - click here to read it! (scroll down to Big Jim's message)

May you fearlessly look within and connect with Self!

In love and light,
Kate

Speaking with Jesus

Casey read All is Not as it Seems... and asked: "How are you able to connect with and talk with Jesus? Do you have a special place in your mind that you relax into to feel his presence? I am able to connect with my guidance but I have never connected with Jesus, that would be awesome."

This is a really great question. A few years ago I shared a visit I had with Jesus with a friend and the friend asked me, "What makes you so special that you can talk with Jesus?"

I was actually naively surprised because my first response was, "Doesn't everyone speak with Jesus?" He didn't think so... The answer to his question is, "Nothing makes me any more special than you are." Which translates to the fact that ANYONE can speak with Jesus.

The answer to Casey's question is: When I wish to speak with Jesus, I set the intention and simply go to my meditation place in the essence of me and He's there. I see Him as a man wearing a white robe like garment. He has long hair and a beard. To me he looks like a picture that I remember my great grandmother having on her wall. I understand that others see Him differently - that some even see Him as geometric shapes! I believe He and the angels show themselves to us in a way that WE will recognize them.

Do you wish to speak to Jesus? You can! He is available to anyone who wishes to visit with him! Set your intention and go to your meditation space - He'll be there!

May your visit be clear and memorable!

In love and light,
Kate

Change Begins Within...

Day 31 of 31 Days to Fulfillment!

Florence Scovel Shinn teaches us that our square of life is love, health, wealth and perfect self-expression (our work). Fulfillment in all four areas is mastered when we do the internal work - it really doesn't have anything to do with the external of our lives, it is all about what is going on inside of us.

What is going on inside of us that we have drawn to us our external reality of the status of our love, wealth and perfect self-expression? If our health is poor, what is going on inside of us that we have drawn to us poor health?

If you've been reading this blog for the past 30 days you know we've been digging into our thoughts and beliefs in an effort to get to the root of our fear. If there are circumstances/situations/relationships in our lives that do not bring us joy. We must first discern what they are, then discern what we must change within ourselves to initiate the change in our external reality.

When we look deeply within ourselves we find that at the very root, of all things that cause us angst, anger, worry and stress, is fear. When we transmute that fear to love, the angst, anger, worry and stress dissipate and our external world changes.

As we've traveled these thirty-one days we've worked with the following books and authors:

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra
30 Days to Everyday Miracles by Jennifer Hoffman
The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn
The Keys to Unlocking the Secrets ~The Game of Life Unleashed by Kate Large

The work of each of these authors holds remarkable tools and insight into discerning from deep within who we truly are and what we came here to do. The true gift is that each time we read their work we learn something new because we are at a higher level of understanding and evolvement.

We create our reality, we can change our reality. If you are not fulfilled in each section of your square of life, look within, discern where the root of your fear is and transmute it to love. You must be honest with yourself, you cannot hide from fear. Take your personal power back and embrace that which is yours by divine right!

You are a limitless spiritual being whose birthright it is to live a life of love effortlessly in the abundance that you desire.

For myself this past thirty days has rooted my work and mission with huge caissons to a solid, firm, unshakable foundation. My tools are here in my tool bag to use when I sense another layer of fear revealing itself. I know there is perfection in all things - seeds of opportunity for me to pull forth the good in all life situations, events and relationships. I am tremendously successful at all that I do - the key is to be successful in the abundance I desire and to draw to me only that which I desire. I am doing this.

You can do this, too. I'm just like you, human with bills to pay, people to interact with and experiences to learn, grow and evolve through. If I can do it, you can do it!

We incarnated here to learn, to grow, to experience - and we are. It is up to us as to how quickly we connect with the Light of God within us and understand thoroughly the One-ness of All That Is. All change, growth, evolvement and ascension begins within.

Thank you for joining me on this 31 Days to Fulfillment! What we have done is scratched the surface and begun a journey where there is no turning back - a journey of glorious gifts to fulfill our every need, desire and thought. We have tools to manifest the life we desire, tools to fulfill our mission and purpose - a fully illuminated pathway of our life journey. In fulfilling our mission we are able to help others to fulfill theirs, however our life purpose and mission is our own - ours only. Each one of us has a mission and purpose that only we can fulfill. No one can do it for us. Even though we are all One with the Creator, we must experience our spiritual pathway of evolvement ourselves.

May you open your heart to the limitless spiritual being that you are and graciously accept all that is yours by divine right, under grace, in miraculous ways...

In love and light,
Kate

Another Layer of Fear Revealed...

Day 30 of 31 Days to Fulfillment!

I've been whining about not feeling well for weeks now. Finally I stopped everything and asked, "What is going on inside of me that has drawn this poor health to me?"

One might ask why didn't I ask this before? Just like you, I'm human and I keep trudging on oblivious to my tools that are right here in my tool bag to help me live my life in an easier fashion.

When I asked, everything was silent - nothing was jumping up at me. Fear has a way of doing that - hiding. So instead I looked back at when did I begin to feel poorly, and when have I felt better? The key was in when I felt better.

I'm currently working on the internet book launch for Waiting in the Other Room. I found that when I was actively inviting people to join the book launch I was excited and felt better. Hmmm... I looked further and discovered fear of success where the launch is concerned. Fear of change in my lifestyle. Fear of success and change in my work days.

Another layer of fear revealed.

Then I pondered... Thinking there is probably more fear. I'll be moving some time in the next few months so I looked at that - yes, indeed, there was fear lurking around the move and the change involved in moving.

I then used the Sedona Method of release as illustrated in The Keys to Unlocking the Secrets ~ The Game of Life Unleashed and dissipated the fear by transmuting it to love.

I feel better today.

When another layer of fear reveals itself, I will use my tools to take care of it.

If you are experiencing a health issue, consult a doctor. At the same time, ask yourself, why have I drawn this to me? What is going on inside of me in my thoughts and belief patterns that has drawn poor health to me? Follow your doctor's orders and look within to discover the layer of fear that is revealed to you and dissipate it by transmuting it to love.

May you feel great and enjoy excellent health...

In love and light,
Kate

Journaling... The Weapon of Choice!

Day 29 of 31 Days to Fulfillment!

Journaling... I know... I know... no one wants to journal. Why not? Are you afraid someone will read it? If so, pour your heart out, then destroy it. Your writings could be destroyed with a ceremony of
release. You don't have to keep it forever.

A wise man once said that the eyes are the window to the soul. This is true. The eyes are the window to All That Is. Journaling is the doorway to exploring your Field of Possibilities, your essence of Pure Potentiality and Infinite Possibility. Journaling will make your life easier...

We are spiritual beings with the power to live our lives effortlessly as God intended if we so choose. When we stop the rat race we live in and take a look at the possibility:

Live Effortlessly from a Source of Love or Struggle from a Source of Fear

For me it is a no brainer, I wish to live effortlessly in grace from a source of love. But do I do it? Hmmm... I'm getting there because now I am recognizing when I am forcing things to happen. When we force situations and relationships in our lives we are not living effortlessly AND the outcome will probably not be what we really wanted. When we place our order with the universe for what we truly desire from our limitless field of possibilities without holding back, release how we feel we should receive it and be detached of the outcome, we receive what we desire and better in an effortless way.

Barbara Mark of Angelspeake used to tell me that we as humans always try to make everything harder than it is. She was right! It takes more effort on our part to struggle and live from a source of fear than it does to live from a source of love.

Journaling will open the door to your pathway of living effortlessly from a source of love. Open that journal, write down the first thing that pops into your head - write from your heart and allow your angels to begin dictating to you guidance of love. Ask for their help, you have a huge entourage ready, willing and able to help you in this moment...

Make journaling your weapon of choice for survival of all that physical world life throws at you. You will be able to hold on to your personal power through journaling!

May you live effortlessly from a source of love...

In love and light,
Kate
