After Life Communications Pt. 3

Many after-death researchers have agreed on the following definitions, so it is easier to understand the different ways communication with loved ones who have passed might occur.

• Telepathy: This is communication by means other than through the normal five senses; it is a way of communicating thoughts directly from one person’s mind to another person’s mind through a distance by using words or signals. Telepathy has been tested in many scientific experiments in which someone in a sealed room can transmit his or her thoughts to another in a different part of the country. For example, perhaps you have thought about calling a person, and then the phone rings with that person on the line. You may recall many such incidents that have happened over your lifetime. Telepathy can’t be explained just like gravity and electricity can’t be explained. We know how gravity and electricity work, but do we have a real explanation for them?
• Sentience: This is a feeling or sensing a presence; a sensing or feeling that your loved one is nearby. Sometimes you will feel a tingling all over your body that may feel like goose bumps.
• Smelling a fragrance: People have reported smelling the favorite fragrance of their loved ones (perhaps an aftershave lotion for a man, a favorite perfume or bath product for a woman, a favorite food for either, or a grandparent’s tobacco smoke).
• Hearing a voice: Some people have stated that they have heard an audible voice with their ears as they would when a living person is speaking to them. However, most of the time, the conversations are brief and to the point.
• Feeling a touch: A person that has had a close physical relationship with the departed individual may recognize a familiar touch like a touch on a hand, a tap, or even a caress as a form of affection.
• Visual appearances: Some may see a vague outline of a body either from a front, side, or back view—perhaps in full color but rarely completely solid. This often occurs after one has retired at night and is in bed prior to falling asleep. Sometimes the living will awaken in the middle of the night, and an appearance may come through as a transparent mist or even completely solid. At times the visitation will occur as a full body that appears healed and at an age when the deceased was in his or her prime of life. Full appearances are more uncommon.
• Visitation dreams: These dreams are more like actual visits that you would have had with your loved one while he or she was still with you on earth. These are unlike regular dreams, which seem to come and go. You may wake up and not believe that it was just a dream.
• Hologram vision: This is a two- or three-dimensional picture in full color, seen with eyes wide open and sometimes suspended in the air. One may perhaps see this image upon awakening in the middle of the night. These may be seen either in the room or with the inner eye in the mind.
• Physical occurrences: Electromagnetic energy, usually through electromagnetic waves seem to be more common. These include the flickering of lights, television sets turning on and off or changing channels, computer monitors showing programs that appear out of nowhere or ones long buried in a hard drive, songs that start playing over your cell phone or radio, songs that have meant something to both of you, phone calls, clocks stopping, etc.
• Gifts or signs: Material items that mean something suddenly appearing out of nowhere. You may find coins in odd places. Feathers might appear. Flowers that you haven’t ordered might be delivered to you. You may see specific car license plates on a regular basis that you have not seen very often or not at all. This can include any type of sign that your loved one knows you would recognize in order to communicate that they are alive and well in another dimension.
• Birds or animals: You may frequently see birds, squirrels, or other living creatures in unusual circumstances that will remind you that your departed loved one is with you.
• Recurring messages: These are very common messages that you may hear in many different ways or messages that come to you in writing. Journaling about them will reassure you that your loved ones are happy and joyful on the plane we call Heaven. Many common phases are often repeated, including the following: “I’m fine. Go on with your life,” “I will always be with you,” “I love you,” “Don’t worry about me,” “I am watching over you,” and “Don’t grieve for me.”
