free meditation

Have you ever felt a sudden, unexplained chill in a warm room? Or maybe you found a random coin, smelled a perfume that reminded you of your grandmother, and thought to yourself, is that a sign? I’m here to tell you: it is definitely a sign. I believe that learning to connect with loved ones in the afterlife is one of the most healing things we can do to feel supported, guided, and connected to the universe.

In a recent episode of Dear Guides, I sat down with my friend and psychic medium, MaryAnn DiMarco. We talked about exactly how to receive spiritual guidance from those who have passed and, more importantly, how to know for sure that it’s them.

In this guide, I’m sharing our wisdom on how to bridge the gap between our world and the spiritual realm, how to recognize the signs being sent to you, and the exact practices you can use to develop your own intuitive connection.

Understanding the Connection: How to Connect With Loved Ones in the Afterlife

Connecting with the deceased isn’t about “summoning” them; it’s about tuning your internal radio to the right station. MaryAnn explains it beautifully: mediumship is meeting in the middle. While we raise our vibration through meditation, our loved ones “lower” theirs to meet us on a shared frequency.

How Can I Connect With Loved Ones in the Afterlife?

The most effective way to start is through open dialogue. You don’t need a fancy ritual—you simply need to talk to them. Whether out loud or in your mind, invite them into your day. I often talk to my Grammy just like she’s sitting right next to me.

My Practical Tips to Start:

  • Ask for a specific sign: Tell them, “Show me a red cardinal if you are with me today.”
  • Use an Oracle Deck: I love pulling a card with the intention of receiving a message from a specific person.
  • Ask for a song: I often ask my loved ones to bring me a specific song on the radio. Just go for it!

What Spiritual Practices Help With Afterlife Communication?

Meditation is the foundation of everything I teach. To help you connect, MaryAnn shared a powerful practice called “Meeting Hours in Heaven.” This isn’t just a visualization; it’s a way to develop your “Third Eye” and trust the imagery you receive.

The “Meeting Hours in Heaven” Meditation

I want you to try this right now. MaryAnn suggests doing this anytime, especially if you want to invite them into your dream state.

  1. The Posture: Keep your feet planted on the ground and put your palms up so you are in a receiving posture. Take a nice deep breath in and release it.
  2. Envision the Person: Start to envision the loved one you’d like to connect with. Get really detailed. Remember the color of their eyes, their hair, what they’re wearing, and how they looked in the best parts of their life.
  3. The Setting: Envision a place that relates to the two of you—maybe a kitchen where you had coffee or a beach you loved. Invite them to sit with you.
  4. The Conversation: Allow a conversation to unfold. Ask them anything. Maybe you just want to hold their hand and tell them you love them.
  5. Receiving the Message: As you breathe, allow their messaging to come to you. Don’t question it. Just accept it.
  6. Closing: Thank them for showing up. Give them a hug in your mind. When you’re ready, open your eyes and return to the room.

This meditation is taken from MaryAnn’s wonderful book: The Guides(s) Book: Mapping Out Life’s Journey with Spirit by Your Side.

Recognizing the Signs: How Spirits Communicate

Your loved ones “go hard” at showing off! They are persistent and creative because they want you to know they are safe. MaryAnn and I always say: let’s take “coincidence” and leave it at the door.

What Are Common Signs From Loved Ones in the Afterlife?

While signs are personal, here are the ones we see most often:

  • Animals: Cardinals, butterflies, and feathers are classic messengers.
  • Objects: Finding “pennies from heaven” or specific coins.
  • Sensory Experiences: Smelling their cooking or their perfume.
  • The “Nudge”: When they pop into your mind at the perfect moment, right before you see a sign.

How Do I Interpret Dreams About Deceased Loved Ones?

There is a major difference between a “grief dream”—where your subconscious is simply processing the pain of loss—and a true visitation dream. MaryAnn describes a visitation as an actual, lucid moment in between realms. In these experiences, the connection feels incredibly “thick” and real—often more vivid than your waking life.

If you’re wondering how to tell the difference, here is what MaryAnn and I look for:

  • The “Lucid” Quality: In a visitation, you are often aware that you are dreaming, or the sensory details (the smell of their skin, the texture of their sweater) are hyper-realistic.
  • The Appearance of Healing: Often, our loved ones appear looking healthy, vibrant, and “full of God.” They won’t look like they did when they were sick; they appear in their “soul signature”—their most joyful, radiant self. This is a clear message from the afterlife that they are well and free from earthly suffering.
  • The Feeling Upon Waking: Unlike a grief dream, which can leave you feeling heavy or sad, a visitation usually leaves you with a profound sense of peace. You wake up knowing, deep in your bones, that you actually just spent time with them.
  • Invite Them In: You can actually facilitate this! Before you go to sleep, say to your loved one, “I am ready to see you. I am ready to receive you.” By setting that intention, you’re opening the door for them to step into your dream state.

MaryAnn’s Pro Tip: Keep a journal by your bed. These messages can be subtle, and the details often fade quickly. Write down the visitations you had in your sleep the moment you wake up. These dreams are one of the most amazing ways they can connect because our logical, skeptical minds are finally out of the way.

The Science and Philosophy of the Afterlife

I know some of you might be looking for a bridge between faith and facts.

What Is the Science Behind Connecting With the Deceased?

While traditional science is still catching up, field research in Parapsychology has shown that mediums can provide accurate, “evidential” information that they couldn’t possibly have known through normal means.

How Does Quantum Physics Relate to Afterlife Connections?

I love the concept of Non-locality. If consciousness is energy, and energy cannot be destroyed (as the laws of thermodynamics tell us), then our loved ones haven’t disappeared—they’ve just changed form.

Overcoming Blocks: Why Is It Sometimes So Hard?

I hear this a lot: “Gabby, I’m asking but I’m not hearing anything.”

Why Do Some People Struggle to Connect With Loved Ones?

The biggest block is Grief. MaryAnn reminded me that grief can lower our vibration, which can make it frustrating for both you and the spirit. Your loved one wants to get through, but our heavy emotions can create “static” on the line.

What Blocks Spiritual Communication?

  • Skepticism: If you explain everything away, you close the door.
  • Fear: If you’re afraid, you’ll naturally block the connection.
  • Logic: Trying to “think” your way through a spiritual experience usually stops it in its tracks.

Why Is It Important to Heal?

When we are in deep trauma, it’s hard to hear the subtle whispers. That’s why I encourage you to honor your grief. Don’t let anyone tell you how to grieve, but try to walk in tandem with it so it doesn’t overwhelm you.

Finding Guidance: Mediums and Teachers

Sometimes we need a little help from a professional.

How Do I Choose a Trustworthy Psychic Medium?

A real medium will focus on healing and evidence. They won’t tell you “doom and gloom” stories. MaryAnn is a perfect example—she provides facts that prove the soul lives on.

You can learn more about MaryAnn’s work here.

What Questions Should I Ask a Medium?

Don’t give them all the answers! Let them tell you who is in the room. Ask:

  • “Who is coming through for me right now?”
  • “What message do they have for my healing?”
  • “What evidence can they show that they are still with me?”

Conclusion: You Are Never Truly Alone

The message I want to leave you with is one MaryAnn heard clearly from the guides: Life is infinite. Your loved ones are fine. They’ve let go of earthly feelings and they have a bigger understanding now. They are holding you and sending you “winks” from the universe every single day.

You are a lightworker, and you are divinely guided. Trust the signs, trust your heart, and remember that the light is all around you.

how to connect with loved ones in the afterlife: a guide to signs, symbols, and spiritual healing

The following podcast is a dear media production. 

Hey there. Welcome to Dear Gabby. I'm your host Gabby Bernstein, and if you landed here, it is absolutely no accident. It means that you're ready to feel good and manifest a life beyond your wildest dreams. Let's get started. 
Welcome back to Dear Gabby, my friends, welcome back. Today we're talking about how to receive signs from your loved ones, and by the end of this episode, you're gonna have a very clear practice that you can use, and you're gonna be able to start to connect to your loved ones today. Before we begin, I wanna personally invite you to something really, really special. 
I'm leading a very timely tour. These are live talks all around the world, and it's called My Time to Trust Tour. If you're listening to this in real time tonight, I'm actually gonna be in New York City. I don't know if there's any tickets left, but you could try. I'll be in New York City at town Hall tonight.[00:01:00]  
And also for those of you who are in Los Angeles, I am coming to you on April 29th. Then I'll be in Boston, London, Miami, and Vancouver. And these live events are an opportunity for us to get together in person. A chance for us to be in community, a chance for us to slow down and really release control and have a spiritual experience together. 
I built my career in these rooms with all of you just coming together in shared community, ready to open up to spiritual principles and feel that connection. So if you've been craving that kind of connection and support, I'd love to see you. I'd love to see you on the tour. You just go to dear gabby.com/events and you can get all the details. 
All right, my friends. Let's begin and open up to the guidance that's already reaching you now. Have you ever felt a sudden chill or maybe you found a random coin or smelt a perfume and just thought to yourself, is that a sign from a loved one? Well. Today we are [00:02:00] ending that doubt. It is definitely a sign, and I am here with my gorgeous friend, Marianne DeMarco, who is a psychic medium. 
We're gonna talk about exactly how to receive signs from the afterlife, and more importantly, how to know for sure that it's them. This is about receiving spiritual guidance from your loved ones to help you heal. To help you feel connected to the universe, to help you feel supported and guided. And by the end of this episode, you're gonna have a very specific practice to open up and channel and connect to your loved ones on the other side. 
This episode is part of a new series that's called Dear Guides, and this is where I'm joined by Psychic Medium Friends. Together we share our wisdom and we channel the spiritual realm to give you extra guidance and support our guides, global guides. Spirit guides of wisdom, high truth and compassion. 
They will come through us today to give you the guidance and direction that you need. I am so psyched to welcome my beautiful friend, Maryanne DeMarco.  
Thanks for having me.  And The Guides, [00:03:00] the guide, and the Guides Guide, and the loved ones.  
And the loved ones. This is the loved ones are ready to work. So let's just dive into that. What's the difference between channeling a spirit guide and channeling a deceased loved one?  
They're just on different frequencies for me. So mediumship, I'm kind of up here. And our loved ones come down and meet me in the middle a little bit. I'm raising up. They're coming down. That's why they call us mediums. 
We meet in the middle of this lovely Frequency. Guides are a little different where I'm not so honed in. Trying to get the personality, trying to get the evidential. You know, when I'm working with a loved one, it's a little bit more intense. Spirit guides are more directive. Not everybody has had a wonderful relationship with their deceased loved ones, and so I always wanna be clear that you still have a universal team outside of loved ones too, that are here for you, and they have different roles when we're calling upon our loved ones. 
This is for reassurance [00:04:00] for the feeling of love. A lot of healing has gone on. You can continue relationship with your loved ones. You can actually have a different, whole different type of relationship with your loved ones on the other side. And it's also a little sneak peek into the afterlife. So it's kind of interesting. 
They don't show you everything though. How do we know if it's a loved one sending a message to us? Or just a coincidence,  
I would encourage you not to think that it's a coincidence ever. 'cause your loved ones go hard at showing off. Yeah.  
Like they're really trying to show you that they are around. So let's just take coincidence and leave it at the door. And let's just lean into that inner knowing that awareness. Are you feeling your loved one? Did they pop into your mind at that perfect moment? And then you saw that beautiful red Cardinal place itself right on the branch in front of you. Did you ask them? Please be specific when you're asking for a sign. 
Yes. And then you see it. So let's not try to question it. Let's just accept, I've shared this on the show before, but you know my Grammy story, and I'm gonna just tell it [00:05:00] quickly. But when my grandmother passed, I said, Grammy, show me a sign that you're okay. A week went by and I was with some friends, and they kept begging me to pull a card from a tarot deck, and I was like, I'm too busy, blah, blah, blah. 
They're like, pull a card, Gabby, pull a card. And finally my friend Jenny said, I'll pull a card for Gabby. And she pulls the card and it was an elderly woman crossing a bridge, and the caption underneath said, grandmother insures safe crossing. Oh,  
I mean, come on. Grandmother ensures safe crossing. You can't question it. 
It was days after her death. I mean, we have to take these signs and just say thank you, exactly what we need to hear. And by the way, it was about seven days later, which is probably about a time that she needed to get oriented in the spiritual realm. Actually send me the message. Yeah. I mean, it depends, you know? 
So I've read people who passed that morning, Yes. Making sense signs, you know, it really just depends when you're doing it for yourself, it's a little different.   
Because you know your loved one, you know their personality. You really can get immersed in the experience of connecting with them. 
As a [00:06:00] meeting it's a little different. I'm getting to know your loved one, but for yourself. Oh my gosh. Go for it. You know what they sound like. You know what they smell like. You know their habits, their routines that they did on a daily basis. Yep. For me, I can always smell my grandmother's cooking. I know what that smells like. 
Yeah. So use your imagination. Create a scene. I do in Media Mentor, I do a meditation called Meeting Hours in Heaven, and allow yourself to go there and create this beautiful scene and meet up with your loved one and never question. Whether you're making it up or the sign they sent you, just, oh gosh. The timing. 
What? No, it is it at the end of the episode, I wanna do meeting hours. Oh yeah, let's do that. Okay. So we'll close this episode with meeting hours in heaven so that you can all meet your deceased loved ones, loved one today. Yes. Specifically we're talking about deceased loved ones. Yeah,  we're talking about that loved ones. 
And so. How would one ask their deceased loved ones for clear guidance?  Again, we just talked about signs. [00:07:00] I have to tell you though, Gabby, for me, it's a conversation.   
I can hear them. Yes, I can. You know, Grammy says to me, little nose, little nose. That's what she used to call me. I'll hear it. I hear it as a voice. 
Mm-hmm. Yeah.  Yeah. I hear it as a voice, but we sometimes have a hard time doing that, especially in grief. Grief can lower our vibration, which actually can make it very frustrating because it's frustrating for the guide too. It is. It's frustrating that they understand. Your loved one understands, but it's hard for them to get in to that grief because it, it brings us down a little bit. 
So ask them to come in Dream state. Visits from your loved ones, that lucid dream, there is no mistaking that you are having an actual moment in between realms with your loved one. And I think it's one of the most amazing ways that they can connect. So invite them in. I'm ready to see you. I'm ready to receive you. 
You can pull a card from an Oracle deck and say, Hey, grandma, dad, mom, sister, brother, whoever it is, can you [00:08:00] show me that you're around me? And if I pull this card right now, maybe there'll be a message. Ask them for songs. Bring me the songs with your loved ones. Just go for it, because you really know them and they know you. 
Hmm. Why do you think you have been called to channel deceased loved ones? Not that you don't channel spirit, other realms of spirit or angels, but some mediums are angel guide mediums. Mm-hmm. And some people are deceased, dead people. Why do you think that you've been called to primarily focus on the dead? 
Because I can. Because it's easy for you.  
Yeah. Yeah. I think I just have this, I've always said I'm a person who can have a conversation and hear another one going on. Okay. Across the room. There you go. Mm-hmm. And in my brain, when I'm reading, if I'm looking at you and I'm talking to you, I can hear your grandmother at the same time. 
Yeah. Giving me message and I am speaking to her with my spiritual self at the same time. And for some reason. My brain just works that way, and I also truly believe that I chose to do this and come back here in this realm to [00:09:00] hopefully help others not only heal, but find the abilities within themselves. 
I really feel called to do that, to be the medium between the two worlds. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
And Spirit wants us to connect, I think what you said about when we're in grief. That it's difficult for us to hear our deceased loved ones. It's also quite frustrating for the spirit as well, because they want to get through. 
They're going to keep trying. Yeah. They've let go of earthly feelings. Um, and so they have a bigger understanding, something that we could never grasp onto in the way that they now know they're in the know. So I think frustrating. Maybe just a wanting or a yearning or, because they want to help you see them. 
They're persistent for sure. Yeah. They will make their point. There's a beautiful story that the Dyer daughters, Dr. Dyer's daughter shared about when days after Wayne passed, they went to Maui. I think that they went out on surfboards and put his ashes in the ocean, and they have a photo. And in the photo, his face is in the waves. 
I believe it to be true. Of course. Absolutely. They [00:10:00] can be very creative. They can show themselves in many different forms, in many different ways. We just have to be open to seeing it and trying not to explain it away.  
We saw a cardinal this morning. We did. What does a cardinal mean? Well, a cardinal is a beautiful sign of a loved one. 
Normally, cardinals, feathers, coins. These seem to be. The more common signs. If you see those signs, whoever comes to you first in your mind's eye, whatever feeling you get, just go with that. Go with it. And so Cardinals, for me are a beautiful sign of your loved ones that they are around, that they are with you. 
And that you can call upon them whenever you need to. Sometimes a deceased loved one, the baby you didn't know can come to you with something that's related to something they lived. So for example, during the beginning days of the Russia, Ukraine War, I connected to a young woman on social media and we became pen pals and I started helping her. 
And ultimately I helped her get citizenship in the UK and start a new [00:11:00] life. And I remember the whole time feeling like Margot my grandmother. Was right by my side helping me. She died when I was two. Margot, who I did not know was a Holocaust survivor.  
She lost her family in the Holocaust and she, by the grace of good hearted people, got out. Mm-hmm. And found her way to Switzerland. And it's a long story, but she, because of good hearted people, she found her way out. And so I believe that she was working through me at this time to help as a good-hearted person to get this young woman. A new life.  
Oh, definitely. Especially if you didn't know the loved one. Because the loved ones that we did know, we have a story with them already. And I think that that can, it's almost like a conflict of interest.  
You know? So I think that that can interfere and so they don't really do that. But ancestrally, we can absolutely work with our Soul Pack that we continue lifetime after lifetime, with in different ways, and this is what I'm saying, when the relationship continues in another [00:12:00] life. 
Margot and you were probably very connected, just a different type of relationship, and so she gets the opportunity now to work through you and have you do work that is not only part of her soul, but it's now part of your soul story too. Yeah, and I think that's really beautiful. Our loved ones can absolutely do that. 
I have a grandfather figure who comes in all the time. I've never met him. My mother barely knew him, but for some reason. He comes in through my conversations with other mediums, if they're reading me or whatever it is. I don't get read too often, but when he does come, he comes. I'm like, oh, well, hello. 
He's loud. Enrico. I had no idea you wanted to, what's his name? Enrico. Yeah, Enrico. I'm like, oh, nice to meet you sir. 
I'm sitting here in my studio today wearing something that I wear every single day. I wear this in different colors. I wear this in different shapes. It's something I wear every single day, and it is my skims brass. I only wear skims. I just wear skims. It's what I do. It's my thing. I just feel comfortable. 
I feel like I've got [00:13:00] support and. It is what I use all the time. I also love skims shapewear when I'm on stage and I don't want to feel bloated. It just works. Before skims underwear was just an afterthought for me, and I would focus so much on what I was wearing on the outside, but not thinking about how I felt on the inside. 
And finally, I have the panties and the brass and the shapewear. Feel good and make me look good and give me the confidence that I need to step out in whatever I'm wearing. And now my entire top drawer is filled with the most amazing, stretchy and supportive fabrics, and they keep me feeling comfortable and confident. 
And one of the biggest game changers for me is the fits everybody t-shirt, bra. I am shouting it out. I'm wearing it right now. In this moment. Thank you, Kim Kardashian. Thank you Skims. And for a long time it was really hard for me to find a good bra that felt good, that fit my body, that wasn't too padded, wasn't too tight. 
This is the fits everybody, bra people, and it is so good. And [00:14:00] it's just giving me that perfect seamless silhouette. So you can shop my favorite bras and underwear@skims.com. After you place your order, be sure to tell them that we sent you select podcasts in the survey. And be sure to select our show in the dropdown menu that follows. 
I know I'm not alone when I feel like I am constantly balancing a million things at once. Everyone out there, you're probably raising your hands, being like, oh God, that's me too. I am recording these episodes, making dinner for my son, traveling. I'm kind of tired, to be honest with you. We all know how essential a good night's sleep is, and if I don't have a good night's sleep, I am screwed. 
I am totally screwed for the day people. I'm a high performance person, and it demands sleep. We all demand sleep, and that's why I've integrated Magnesium Plus into my evening routine. It's a blend of magnesium, b Glisten. And tart cherry powder for mind and muscle relaxation, helping me to unwind the day and support restful sleep. 
And I swear to you, I've been sleeping better than ever. And this is a product that comes from ritual. [00:15:00] The ritual product is a bioavailable form of magnesium that's gentle on your stomach. Sometimes magnesium can upset your stomach and I don't have to worry about it causing that upset stomach now because it's really gentle and the science behind this blend is actually fascinating. 
Magnesium plus features a blend of clinically backed magnesium glycinate. This product has given me the most restful night's sleep. If you're struggling to sleep right now, particularly those ladies out there that are in perimenopause and menopause, this is a valuable tool. We also don't get enough magnesium in our diet at all, and we often need to supplement. 
So this is gonna help you with your quality sleep. It's gonna help you stay consistent with your workouts. It's gonna help you feel. Your mind is relaxed, your body is at ease, helps with leg cramps during pregnancy, supports your period cramping during PMS, and adding this to my nightly routine has made a noticeable difference in my life and I really recommend it. 
So sit back and raise a glass to your new evening ritual with Magnesium. Plus save 25% on [00:16:00] your first month at ritual.com/year, Gabby. That's ritual.com/year Gabby for 25% off your first month. OMG. The coolest freaking package came in the mail last week 'cause I am a red light junkie and I got this incredible light stem product. 
I've seen it all over Instagram and social. And finally I got myself one and it blew my mind. It's a mask. And it just lays perfectly over my face. I just lie down and I can just have it rest over me. I don't have to hold it. It's not like it's gonna fall over. It just is like this little cocoon that I go into. 
It's a little red light cocoon, and I've been using it every single night and I have. Seen the best results. Now I finally know why people are obsessed with these masks. I'm like a red light junkie. Now compared to what doctors actually use in their offices, most of those trendy masks are actually completely underperforming and they aren't much different from the little red lights that you string in Christmas trees, literally. 
But they're red light therapy that is actually proven to work is [00:17:00] coming from light stem. And this is the real deal people. It's made in the USA. With over 60,000 devices sold to dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons and estheticians, and I'm guessing your plastic red light mask can't really say that. And now you can have a light stem at home. 
I have light stem ellipse, and I'm absolutely obsessed. I feel like I'm in a spa when I put it on my face and I'm getting the exact same anti-aging technology at home that my doctor uses in the clinic, and I can see and feel a difference in my skin almost immediately. It's FDA, proven to reduce wrinkles on the entire. 
Face plus it also hits my neck and my decollete. So if you want the same medical grade technology at home that doctors are using to treat wrinkles in slow aging, go to light stem spelled L-I-G-H-T-S-T-I m.com. Use code GA to save 10%. Again, that's light stem light L-I-G-H-T-S-T-I m.com and use code Gabby. 
Again, that's code gabby@lightstem.com.[00:18:00]  
So when you channel for me, often my grandmother comes, sometimes my PY comes. So there are some pushy, deceased, loved ones that are gonna be around us most of the time. Those guys, why are they so pushy? Why are there certain guys that are so pushy? Is it because we had a connection to them in the human realm? 
Yeah. I mean, my great-grandmother is with me a lot of the time. Okay. Alessandria and Chicho. I love these names. My Fritz, Fritz Lock. Fr lock Benedetto. I mean, you know, Frida Lock, the whole family is there.  
And uh, for whatever reason, my grandmother has been assigned to a role of comfort and being consistent energy in my life.Okay.  
And I've had different loved ones. Take on that role in various forms, depending on what it is that I'm looking to connect or need comfort over, or just a wink from the universe. Do I think it's because we were close in life? Probably.  
Yeah. And I think, again, it goes back to that familiar feeling. I feel Grammy here right now. I think [00:19:00] she's really happy about what we're doing here. She's kind of saying to me like I always knew. She's like, I always believed in you deeply and well, she says she's passed on a legacy to you.   
You'd like me to hear what she's telling me. Yeah, I do. Um, it's your legacy and she said she started this for you. 
Right at the beginning, a foundation almost like whispering in your ear about your own power and who you are and lighting you up. And she took you and like twirled you. Is this frizzy, this is on your mom's side of the family? Yes. Frizzy. So she's like twirling you like this. She also talks about the month of March being significant as well. 
And she's also a grounding your mom. A lot right now. And she said she's been giving you the words. To help ground her. Definitely. And she says it's working Gabby. It's working Gabby. Definitely. You know, so again, here we are comforted. Beautiful guidance. That's what they are here for. Yeah. They never cease to amaze me guides, you know, it's kind of this [00:20:00] working relationship. 
The loved ones and what flies out of my mouth when I'm reading people it, and it's not because I happen to be a medium. It's just amazing. Yeah. What they can do. Yeah. And how they can help us heal. She has helped me heal so much. She's continuing to do so.  
Yeah. She's helped me heal so much. She's definitely been by my side through so much healing. So much healing. She's lining up a bunch of shoes as well. Shoes. Yeah.  
Uh, like. Like very orderly. Okay. Shoes by shoes. By shoes. And she's saying Ali's funny with the shoes.  
And she's kind of like moving around with shoes and she gets a kick outta that.That's actually funny 'cause he was organizing my shoes the other day. He likes to keep, he's like, you have to keep these neat. He's, yeah. Totally like his dad. Yeah. Yeah. Let's talk about how children here and communicate with deceased loved ones.  
I've seen this with people that I've worked with where the child I, I, oh, I met them in heaven. I saw them before I came [00:21:00] here. Oh, that's the one who sits at the foot of my bed every night and says goodnight to me. It's incredible. And they have no knowledge. They have no idea who that person is.  
So if we wanted to meet our guides right now. We can do our meet your loved ones. Meet with their loved ones in heaven. Yeah.This is something you typically like to do before one falls asleep. 
I'm always a little careful about leaving yourself wide open before you go to sleep, but this one you can do because it invites them into, possibly come into dream state too. But you could do it anytime. What's this practice called again? It's meeting hours in heaven. Keep your feet planted on the ground and let's put our palms up so that we're receiving the energy, and I want you to take a nice deep breath in. 
Release it out. Take another deep breath in, release it out, and I want you to start to envision a loved one that you'd like to make connection with. Get really detailed, [00:22:00] remember the color of their eyes, how their hair may or may not have been styled, what they're wearing. How you knew them in the best parts of their life. 
Taking a nice deep breath in and releasing it out. I want you to now envision a place that relates to the two of you. Maybe it's a home that you both spent time in. Maybe it's the beach where you enjoyed spending time together, but get really detailed. Maybe you're sitting at the kitchen table. Having coffee with your loved one, I want you to now invite that loved one in and have them sit with you and allow a conversation to unfold. 
Feel free in this moment to ask them any questions you may have. Maybe you just wanna hold their hand and tell them that you love them and you [00:23:00] miss them as you're breathing and enjoying your time together. Allow their messaging to come to you. 
Breathing deeply, feeling relaxed. Thank your loved one for showing up. Maybe you'll give them a hug or tell them you'll be back. Fight them into your dreams and know that you can come back here anytime you want. Simply by closing your hands, opening your eyes, you're returning back to the space from which we started. 
It was so good. Did you see her? Yes. She said your hand on your heart. I am there when your mind is soft. I am there when you let go. I am there.  
Were you in the kitchen? [00:24:00]  Yes. Uh, it's like I'm psychic. We were in her kitchen having melon. You know, I do this for a living. Right. No, she's psychic. My God, you saw us in the kitchen. In the kitchen. Creeper, creeper on my vision. It's like all up in your meditation, but that's a really easy practice and it's a starter meditation that I give people to do because not only do you get to meet up with your loved one, but it's a great way to develop third eye.  
Yes. I want people to take that 'cause you trust the imagery, you trust what you're seeing because you've seen it before and you're able to sort of work that imagination in there and then you're, because the important part of opening the third eye is so that the ic, I can see them. I can make that connection right here.  
So through that meditation, Voyance, we're opening up the third eye. You are, any type of meditation that you can get really visual with will help you open up to that Clairvoyancy. Okay? That third eye, the ic, which will help you again in Dream State. Dream [00:25:00] State. So wonderful way to focus in on Third eye. 
So write your dreams down. Try to work with them in a Wake state. Yes, too. That's very important. Break them down in Wake State and then if you can, because we don't have all the Claire's, everybody doesn't have them all at once. Oh, my ear is ringing. As I'm just about to say, pay attention to the Claire audience and what you are hearing. 
You can write a letter to your loved ones as well. We didn't discuss this part, but I find this to be a great practice to do is to. Write the name of your loved one at the top of the page. Maybe we say a little prayer that goes along with that. Dear so and so, I am looking to connect with you and I am ready with love from the greatest good and for the highest good of all concern. 
Can we connect now and then you can either write to them or you can write from them. So allow the words to either flow through you and out and write them on the page without stopping. [00:26:00] Or sit and receive whatever it is that you are seeing, hearing, and feeling, and write that down, okay?  
This starts to help make that connection on the frequency that they're looking to get you to.But like I said, grief can be tricky, so honor your grief. Don't let anyone tell you how to grieve, and if you can try to walk in tandem with it and not let it get above you. It'll be okay and they'll be able to get through to you.  
Yes, yes, yes and yes. Beautiful. I love that so much. Yeah. I would recommend that anyone who's wanting to have that kind of relationship with a deceased level and feels like the grief is overwhelming them to do that meditation that we just did, maybe make it a practice. 
It's hard. It's very emotional when I do that in a big group. It's a very emotional meditation. This was a quick version of it, so when you do it. If it's too much, just come out of it, and go back to it another time. Or maybe envision it with your eyes open. It's not [00:27:00] so intense and you can write at the same time. 
But I do encourage you to let the tears flow if they come, let the emotions come up and get out because your level will be right there. Holding you, rubbing your back and being there for you and your emotions are an antenna. They're a sign for you that that deceased loved one is with you inside you. 
It's love. Is there anything else that you feel the deceased that are in the room today want us to know? About this kind of connection?  
Life is infinite is the first thing that I heard. It goes on. Don't worry about us. We're fine. Yeah. We've got you. You'll understand when you're there, but please live your life. 
Do it well, be happy. Embrace life. Enjoy it. Don't sweat the small stuff and allow yourself joy and happiness and know that even though you feel alone, if you're feeling alone, you are never truly alone, that the light is all [00:28:00] around you. And one day you will understand your full story.  
At some point I realized I had basically become my own doctor just trying to figure out my own health. My health data was really scattered everywhere and different doctors and different portals and different spreadsheets, and no one was actually looking at the full picture of what was happening in my body. 
So I got super frustrated and I was annoyed that I couldn't find all my medical records and lab tests. And as a postmenopausal woman, yes, I am 46 years old, postmenopausal. I was like, I need to know what my blood work is telling me and I need to be on top of it, and that's why I am so happy I found Kinson.

For those of us who have lost children or lost people too early, what's the message from those deceased loved ones that they want us to know?  
Well, I've read a lot of, unfortunately, I've read a lot of parents who've lost their children, and I believe there to be no greater grief. That in all the years that I've been doing this, and I can tell you, although you may never understand in this world, you will understand in the next, and that's a really hard pill to swallow. 
But there is truth and love behind that [00:32:00] message, and what I have found is that the loved one in that particular case especially, is more than willing. Uh, to show up for you in countless ways to help support you. Just know that they have you, that they are holding you, and that they themselves are well and safe and good. 
And full of God. Full of God. Full of God. Love it. Marianne, I love you. Love you. Today, we've learned a lot. We've learned that connecting to your loved ones in spirit can be a very beautiful everyday experience, and that this team of spirit guides, they are watching and they're listening as Marianne has shared, and they're waiting for you to just simply say, hi, I'm here, and they're sending you signs from the afterlife. 
For offering you spiritual guidance and just reminding you that you're never alone. You are a spirit, that you are God, that you are infinitely connected to them. So I wanna continue to support you on this [00:33:00] conversation. If you wanna strengthen this connection and just quiet that fear that blocks these messages. 
I wanna give you the spirit guides meditation. This is a great practice. I want you to go to the link in the show notes, and you can listen to that Spirit guides meditation. You can also read Maryanne's book, the Guides book, and this is a powerful book that is gonna give you the direct practices.
