Do our loved ones who have passed have the ability to hear and see us in our earthly lives?
Dear Earth Being,
Losing a loved one can be one of the most heart wrenching things we experience in life. Grief is not for the faint of heart, that's for sure! Equally, loss and grief can open us up in ways we never imagined. Some people experience a profound awakening of their intuitive abilities, which can be both exhilarating and discombobulating.
Either way, it’s natural to want to understand how our departed loved ones are doing and moreover how they experience us. When people come for a reading to ask about a departed loved one, or the departed loved one pops in on a reading unexpectedly, more often than not, the loved one comes through with validation, and incredible love and reassurance for their earth person.
Energy of the Soul
Even though our loved one is no longer in the physical, at a soul level they exist. What’s so cool is that aspects of them exist across dimensions, timelines, and lifetimes in varying degrees of resonance. This means aspects of our loved ones remain on this plane, too.
The density of the resonance or frequency (of a soul) is how parts of “us” come into being. Like here on earth. Our soul, or part of it anyway, vibrates at a lower frequency so it can integrate with physical matter. The soul is then expressed through the physical body, aka our loved one.
After the body dies there is a holographic imprint left behind. This imprint is a facet of our loved one and it includes aspects of our memory and our energy field. The imprint is “here” as part of our "now" awareness. This is why we can feel and see our loved ones as if they are still with us in the physical plane while their soul has gone onto experience their next existence (or two or three). They could be in some other timeline resolving karma, in another dimension expanding their spiritual frequency, while aspects of their energy take up residence in us–simultaneously!
It’s all pretty spectacular!
Soul Family
Another aspect of our relationships is that we’re connected beyond this 3D experience–this connection occurs across dimensions, timelines, and lifetimes to varying degrees–forevermore.
Every person we have a significant relationship with in this life is part of our soul family. Our soul family is wildly expansive. Some of our soul family (known to us or not) are guides on the “other-side.” Some are advanced light beings, and some incarnate with us, in this or other realms, so we can experience different facets of being.
All of that to say, we’re entangled with our soul family; dancing, playing, growing, and loving each other for infinity. The connection is intrinsic–we’re bound by an etheric thread that is alive, never disappears–always evolving.
Physical Plan and Karma
On the physical plane, we experience things a little differently. In this denser energy, we experience guilt, pain, regret, sadness, and grief. Because emotions are our point of reference, we project this mental picture onto the memory of our loved ones. Our feelings can be so intense (and real) that we may feel haunted by our departed loved one. We may assume they are trying to work something out with us. Usually, our deeply felt, ongoing, intense tie to the departed keeps their energy "alive" in our emotional field, which can lead to feeling stuck. This has more to do with working out our karma than it has to do with our departed loved one.
Seeing, Hearing, Judging?
Our departed loved ones don’t experience “feelings” like we do. We can fear that our loved ones on the other side are sitting in judgment, experiencing pain or grief, regretting past choices, or missing us! Once departed, our loved one keeps working out their karma and evolving. As for us, rather than “seeing and hearing us,” they simply experience us in much the same way we might experience a majestic scene; they breathe us in profoundly and revel in the beauty of it all, in the beauty of us.
In fact, our departed loved ones exude great love toward us–a love that is so expansive, profound, and more beautiful than we can fully know.
The intrinsic connection we feel with our loved ones and soul family can leave us feeling a little confused and stuck after they’re gone. It can be hard to know how to be in our own energy or how to resolve residual karma. If that resonates, here is something you can try:
Visualization Practice:
Find a space where you can relax.
Breathe deeply a few times.
Close your eyes.
KNOW your loved one is part of all that is.
FEEL how they exist in the clouds, the birds, in the grass, in your memories.
SEE how they ARE the energy of LOVE.
Acknowledge your soul connection.
Express any sentiments, thoughts, or feelings that come to mind. Let them know what is in your heart.
Watch how your loved one takes everything you express into their HEART and showers you with LOVE.
Let them know you are ready to clear any karmic energy that takes up space.
Watch as THEY lovingly CLEAR the energy.
Smile deeply, breathe into the feeling of gratitude.
Repeat this process as often as needed.
May this bring some clarity, peace, and acceptance.
Love, Lisa K.
