You must let me go so I can live...

For my daughter and I, this summer has been one of remembrance.  Last summer we cared for my dear grandmother for 78 days.  Her health was "failing to thrive" (Hospice term).  We not only cared for Grandma, we had to be her voice, till the angels came to care for her.  It was a time of love beyond measure - a time of heartache, love, laughter and facing the pain of not only losing her physical body to death, but a time to acknowledge and accept a new path of living with Grandma's love - in a new form - spiritual energy.

I've been communicating with my loved ones who have died for years.  Nothing - NO-THING - prepared me for the death of my Grandmother - not pre-grieving, not knowing I would again communicate with her - not the love of all the angels in heaven - nothing prepared me for my physical human pain resulting from her death.

Through the stupor of my pain I reached out to my dear friend, Roland Comtois.  He had lost his mother in November of 2011.  He held the safe space for me to cry and grieve her physical loss while supporting me with love that gave me strength to breathe through the grief to the other side of living.

One year ago today I was working on an email reading for a client when Grandma's higher self came into the vision of my mind's eye.  She was beautiful beyond description!  We hugged each other with excitement, then she got right to business.  She had things to tell me.  Then I heard my grandfather, who died in 2007, calling her...

I knew she would be joining the angelic realm soon and even though I had been telling her it was ok to go, the pain of her physical loss engulfed me and I didn't want her to go and I started to cry.  She gently put one hand on each of my shoulders, looked deep into my eyes and said, "You have to let me go so I can live..."

She was right.  Our love was so strong that if I refused to let her go, my pain would go with her and shadow the angelic celebration of love that awaited her spirit returning to the angelic realm.

I agreed, I would let her go.  ...and in that moment I felt the cord between us disconnect...

THEN...  in that same instant I felt this tremendous WHOOSH of love that surrounded me and convinced me beyond any doubt that she would always be with me...

Grandma's physical body died July 29, 2012.  You may read about her, the love that we share and perhaps receive comfort that your loved one is still with you also, by clicking into the celebration of her life: here.

When our loved one's physical body dies, many times we want to go with them.  I did.  I told Grandma years ago that I didn't want to stay here on Mother Earth without her.  The week of Thanksgiving 2012 was the first time after her death that I "decided" I would continue to live here on Mother Earth in human form.  Just recently I realized that with every wave of grief, I'm faced with that "decision" again.  And I continue to choose to live - to live and love and laugh and not only enjoy my life here as a human, but to share that zest for living, loving and laughing with my friends, family and Soul Kisses Community.

If you are grieving the loss or imminent death of someone you love, know that it is OK for you to experience joy, love and laughter without them being here physically.  When you allow yourself to experience joy, you raise your vibration into that love state where they exist - and it is in those moments that it easiest for you to experience the depth of their love from the realm of the angels.  Allow yourself to grieve, but when you can, step into the love that you have between you and embrace the true joy-of-that-love - acknowledge that they are still with you - forever and always.  Daddy says, it is like applause and they cannot get enough of it!

To those who are grieving, I send you love...  I send you light...  I send you the spark of hope that love is eternal...

If you know of someone who is grieving, and you feel they will receive benefit from this newsletter, please forward it in its entirety.

Sending love and light to all,
Kate

16 Minutes with Roland Comtois

This week we celebrate Roland Comtois' new book, 16 Minutes: When One Breath Ends, Another Begins.

When I received Roland’s first book, And Then There was Heaven, I could feel the love radiating from within it before I lifted the cover.

It was with this knowledge that I knew 16 Minutes… When One Breath Ends, Another Begins would be very special – and it proved to be more than I could have imagined. I was profoundly gifted by Roland sharing a copy of the digital file of the book before it was printed.

16 Minutes… is the most beautiful book I’ve ever read! From the first paragraph I was welcomed in… to a pool of love so powerful that I was magically transported from my office in Colorado to quietly… reverently… sit with Roland and his mother as she breathed au revoir… for now. An understanding of a life well lived through love engulfed me and I didn’t feel so alone in my own grief.

Having recently lost the physical presence of my dear grandmother (who, when she was younger, resembled Roland’s mother), I was vulnerable to the abyss of grief that Roland so honorably shares. (As mediums, people are surprised that death of a loved one hurts us so much, but we too, are human and must grieve the physical loss.) With each word I identified from my soul with the pain of physical loss that defies human description.

Yet... through the pain, I felt the healing shift from the all consuming sadness and powerlessness of grief to the joy of miraculous... unconditional… love. Through the pain I was embraced by the gentle whisper of hope and the promise of reuniting in a different way that is sweet and certain.

As I read, I felt the peaceful energy of Roland’s mother’s loving spirit gently guiding my finger to scroll the mouse – I could not stop reading! The love of mother and son touched me deeply and I experienced the assurance that continuing to live a human life of joy and laughter without our deceased loved ones is okay.

My soul fragments scattered by grief began to return to me and I’m finally comfortable in my new, redefined skin – no longer a granddaughter – as Roland is no longer a mother’s son. Finally, I feel the gentle tingle of joy at the new definition of “normal.”

Roland’s journey rekindles the distant memories of moments of the past with dear ones whose physical bodies no longer walk the soils of Mother Earth. This gift of remembrance, ignites the flame of eternal love… And the healing of grief begins in earnest… 16 minutes, when one breath ends, another begins…

If you are grieving the loss of someone you love - or your loved one's body is "failing to thrive" know you are not alone in your grief. Your angels and I send you love and hold the safe space for healing through the pain of grief.

In love and light,
Kate

What happens when we die?

Death is so intangible.  The physical body dies and our loved one is gone.  ...but are they?  We can no longer see them, touch them or call them on the phone and hear their voice when they answer.  However, I did call my dear friend Barbara Mark's (www.Angelspeake.com) phone a year or so after she died.  Then after a couple of rings I freaked myself out when I thought, "What am I going to say if she picks up?" I should have let it continue to ring to find out if she would answer!

Barbara died in 2006.  As the webmaster for the Angelspeake website, I personally deleted her email account from the domain and the server.  Then on May 17,  2012 (yes, 2012) at 7:19pm - I received an email from her Barbara@Angelspeake.com email account. It came during my Spiritual Whispers radio program while I was talking about her.  Hmmm....

My grandmother passed July 29, 2012.  While my daughter, Jesse and I cared for her for three months prior to her death, we created a Skype account for her.  During the wee hours of grandma's birthday, December 28, 2012, Jesse was working on her computer when she got a notice that Grandma accessed her Skype account.  Hmmm...

Just what happens when we die?  Are you afraid of death?

Tonight I'll be discussing my thoughts and beliefs on what happens when we die.  I'll also share what Barbara Mark told me the morning after her physical body died and what my dad shared with me after his physical death on Halloween 2005.  PLUS we will discuss how to have the "eyes to see, ears to hear and knowing from within" that your deceased loved ones are still with you.

If you're grieving the loss of a loved one, the book I wrote with daddy, Big Jim, two years after his death may help you breathe through the grief to a more loving space. Click here to order your personally signed copy of Waiting in the Other Room.
 
Fast Track to Transformation
I want to thank you for being a part of this exciting journey of shifting into the love of Christ Consciousness with me.  Through the years the Soul Kisses website and my work has undergone massive transformation.  Now we're at it again!

My grandmother's death last year was excruciating.  It took my several months to "decide" I wanted to continue living in my human body.  Just after the new year my angels, guides and I had a really deep heart to heart.  I told them how my heart yearns to hold the safe space for each of you to experience deep transformation in a more profound way.  And they have shown me how to do that.  Tomorrow you will receive the announcement of the first extraordinary program for transformation.

In the coming months I will be announcing an exciting program with Florence Scovel Shinn and the release of the new Game of Life Workbook.

There will be many more complementary webinars to support you as you release the physical world conditioning of fear and shift to the higher energy of love to create your version of heaven on earth.

Be sure to watch your email tomorrow for the exciting announcement and future emails for more support programs, webinars and information.

I hope you'll join me tonight for Spiritual Whispers radio.  Next week, Roland Comtois will be with me sharing his new book 16 Minutes: When One Breath Ends Another Begins. Click here to schedule a reminder or listen to the archive.

I look forward to holding the safe space of transformation for you in a huge way in the coming weeks!

In love and light,
Kate

New Beginnings, How do I create my highest good?

Father's Day weekend my daughter was providing pet photography services for Samantha's Katz 'n Dogz' open house (if you live in Aurora, Colorado, I highly recommend them for all your dog and cat needs!) so the Majik poodle and I dropped in to support them and stock up on dog treats.  When I went to open the passenger door of my truck to put Majik in his car seat there was a green dragonfly on the edge of the door.

Since I was holding Majik, I asked Jesse to come over and take a photograph of it.  After photographing him, we thanked him and I slowly opened the door so he would fly on his way, but he didn't.  He was quite content to hang out on my door.

Jessi asked me if I wanted to hold him and I told her, no.  When I held up my hand to gently suggest he fly on his way, he did fly off the door - directly on to my hand!  Then we got really excited!

I love dragonflies because they are magical and they are the essence of the winds of change, the messages of wisdom and enlightenment - and it was Father's Day weekend...

Hmmm...  a validation from spirit that all the changes I'm making in my life are good?  Perhaps a strong NUDGE to consciously work at staying centered, balanced and stay clear on my goals and In The Energy of What I Want to Create - the Energy of my Highest Good?

Are your goals still in alignment with the desires of your heart?  Step back as the observer and take an honest look at your life without the anxiety of emotion.  In what areas are you holding on to things that no longer server you?  e.g. old clothing, ...thought patterns, ...unforgiveness ...relationships?

And while you're there, just what does your heart desire?  Are you clear on what really makes your heart sing?  If you are, is there something that is blocking you from stepping into your power to create the life that you truly wish to live?

Perhaps you want a new job, new car or new relationship?  BUT...  you may not know what that new job, car or relationship looks like, so you get stuck on taking the steps to draw to you what you want.

The key to creation is stepping into the energy of what you want to create!

I know, I know, I'm hearing your thought voices asking, "and how do I get into the energy of creation?"

Close your eyes and take a deep cleansing breath, then focus on what it would feel like to do, be or have what makes your heart sing.  What does it FEEL like?  This is your energy of creation!

It is time to break down the illusions you hold that restrict your actions, your ideas and your energy of creation!  You can do this! It comes down to which is more painful, hanging on to the fear of the past that keeps you blocked or stepping into the unknown of powerful creation?  If you need help with fully releasing that which blocks you and you are ready for a "fast track" approach to healing and making changes in your life, I will be sharing an exciting program I've designed with you in mind.  I'll be announcing it next week, so be sure to watch your email!

Now is the perfect time to make the changes you wish to make to create your version of heaven on earth!  Are you ready?

In love and light,
Kate

Why am I struggling with trust and feeling stuck?

Is your human brain telling you one thing and your heart is telling you another?  Are you experiencing an intuitive nudging with regard to a life situation or relationship and you "think" guidance is being revealed to you, but you're questioning it?   Are you asking yourself, "Why am I struggling with trust and feeling stuck?"

As a human it is easier to wallow in stuckness - that is our normal - that is what we do - we are HUMAN!

The veil of "knowing what our highest good is" and being uncertain about it is thinning - thinning so much that our intuitive guidance is on high alert working at illuminating the path of our highest good, but our human brain is struggling to accept that our guidance really knows what it is doing!  So we do nothing as we struggle with trust in the knowing within us and we stay stuck.

A client asked me what do I do when this happens?  Well... I'm human too, and I get on my fast track horse and I hit the trail blazing, then my humanness kicks in and I fall off, lay there and wallow in being wishy, washy about decisions and basically wallow in horse poop, till its more painful and stinky to stay there than it is to get up and put my Power Pants and Big Girl shoes back on.  Quite the visual, isn't it?  ;)

The root of struggling and being stuck is simply this:  DECIDING

Deciding to do something different.  Deciding to listen to the guidance from deep within.  Deciding to allow the love light within you to shine upon your life path dissipating the shadows of the illusion of fear.  Deciding to choose to experience a lighter energy of love and light.

Choosing to make this choice changes everything.  The energy you're vibrating at, the energy you're exuding, the energy you're attracting to you.

Know that when you make the decision - the choice to experience a reality of joy, love and light, you are fully supported by not only your team of the angelic realm, but the universe and Mother Earth herself.  You are fully supported and cannot fail.  There is no such thing as failure!

Tips:
~ Ask your angels for help and allow yourself to take in their guidance
~ Open your arms wide to receive help, guidance and prosperous abundance that is your birthright
~ STOP holding your breath!
~ Breathe deeply in gratitude and expand that energy of gratitude out to everything around you!
~ Allow yourself to accept the possibility... of how powerful you really are!
~ Just Do IT!  Follow the guidance of your heart and Just Do It - without apology and without fear - worry does nothing to enhance your life, why spend any time there?

Our human lives are full of uncertainty, doubt and at times, outright fear!  Choices and decisions are hard for humans, but easy for the spiritual being-ness within each one of us.  Listening to that still, quite voice within - that whisper of God - makes life easier and so much more fun!

Are you ready to walk away from the days of struggling and being stuck?

Decide!  Make the choice to create a new reality - you can do it!

In love and light,
Kate

Déjà vu and Energy

The energy of change to a newer earth paradigm is building...

Since June began I've been personally experiencing the following symptoms at a magnified level:
~ eye strain
~ headachy
~ lack of appetite
~ ravenous appetite
~ fragmented and scattered
~ agitated and anxious for no apparent reason
~ serious déjà vu
~ amplified precognition
~ acute awareness with laser focus
~ feeling of something "big" about to happen
~ struggle to shut down the mind to sleep - exhausted, but experiencing a might "miss something if I go to sleep energy
~ feeling energetic, but exhausted
~ restlessness, unable to settle - as if the calm before the storm
~ losing ability to navigate and align with earthly measure of time

Whew!  What about you?  Have any of these symptoms shown up in your life in the past two weeks?  Many of you have written to me and I've spoken to you personally on the phone about these very symptoms - so I know I'm not the only one!

Over the weekend my daughter and her roommate joined me for dinner.  We played Black Jack  after.  The Majik poodle thinks he needs to be involved in everything so he sat in my lap and Jessi gave him some chips for him to play, too.  He was very brave (or reckless) and kept betting "all in" and repeatedly won!  Majik played quietly, but we three girls were very noisy, laughing, cheering and screaming with excitement.  The picture to the right is of Majik and his winnings.

While we were playing cards, Jessi brought up several déjà vu experiences she's been having.  Then I shared some of mine, which expanded into a discussion of the energies we and our planet are experiencing right now.

Today, these symptoms (listed above) are the new normal.

The veil between our world and that of All of Creation is thin today, but it will be thinner tomorrow and thinner the next day.  As energy waves from outside the earth affect us and the veil thins, our bodies are working overtime to re-align to the higher vibration - the vibration source that creates our heaven on earth.  Our planet is experiencing huge transformational shifts to the higher vibration of love - the vibration that creates more love.  As this occurs the darkness is illuminated and secrets are revealed - one example is the NSA surveillance program.

The light illuminates the darkest of secrets on all levels from private individuals to corporations and governments - nothing can hide any longer.  To those who do not understand this process, today's revelations are frightening and worrisome, but to those who understand, it is simply a matter of course.

Transformation to the higher energy of love and light is a process that no one gets to opt out of.  Are you fighting this alignment to a higher expression of yourself or are you breathing into it to flow in ease and grace?  Next question, what can we do to make this time easier for ourselves?

Tips and tools that I use that may be of benefit to you: 
Ground often using your favorite grounding method and listen to your body if it craves beef (a grounding food)
Actively work with your angels surrounding yourself with love in order to think clearly, align with focus and maintain a sense of comfort, peace and safety when your outside world is experiencing chaos beyond your control
Let go of what you have no control of - give it to your angels and release the need to take it back and play with it by continuing to worry about it ~ remember, worry does nothing to enhance your life!
Participate or initiate activities that cause you to laugh - perhaps a game of Black Jack with the dog?

Horror and tragedy of earth changes as well as the darkness of secrets being revealed can wreak havoc with our lives and send us into a tailspin of uncertainty, doubt and chaos - if we allow ourselves to be overcome with the fear energy.  When we are helpless to physically help during tragic life events we can do something powerful - send love and light through prayer and meditation.

Again, I invite you to join me tonight to send love and light through a guided meditation to the core of Mother Earth touching all the humans involved.  Together we will hold the safe space to blanket Mother Earth and her human inhabitants with love from deep within to without.  I hope you'll join me - 9pm ET Spiritual Whispers Blog Talk Radio - click here.

Sending love and light to all...
