When The Person is Gone, But Their Spirit Remains

For this week, we are sitting with when our loved one is gone, yet their spirit remains.

However you’d like to call this experience, there is something truly powerful and other-worldly about intuitively recognizing when our loved one is gracing us with their presence.

This can look like many things…

…A memorable scent.

…A particular object or song that continually presents itself over and over again.

…A slight chill and hair-raising moment in the back of your neck, and you automatically remember them.

…An unexpected moment going to work or the groceries where you randomly think of them out of the blue.

…Or even a dream where they come to visit you with a smile.

Have you ever encountered a moment where you “just know” that your loved one is there with you in spirit?

These moments can offer a mixture of emotions.

Sadness and fondness can often go hand-in-hand during these experiences.

Anytime you encounter a spiritual moment as this, keep in mind and heart these three, yet simple steps:

1. Acknowledge the moment in calm.
2. Welcome the passed on loved one you’re thinking of by saying, “Thank you, _____ , for visiting me. Don’t worry, I still remember you. If you have anything to share with me, please show me with kindness and love through the signs in everyday life. Please be well wherever you are.”
3. Include a short, yet intentional religious gesture, spiritual practice, or anything that feels right for you in ritualizing this personal moment.

When we think of our loved ones who have passed on, it is also important to remind ourselves that they are still going through a transition from this world to the next, however long ago their death took place.

Ritualizing these different death milestones or anniversaries is also soul-nourishing for our loved ones and for us as well.

Resting In Emotional Peace

The act of remembering our loved ones is like the light they can follow on their way towards their next journey in the afterlife, paving the path of resting in peace.

And in another way, honoring them is also honoring what we need “to lay to rest” in order to gather more clarity and peace in relationship to our grieving process.

Rest takes different forms.

Rest for our physical and mental bodies usually take first notice when we start to experience lower energy all around.

But, what about our emotional bodies?

What are some of the more challenging emotions surfacing in your experience that need “to rest in peace” in order for you to feel “at ease and at rest” in your mind, body, and soul?

The practice called for this week is to tend to our emotional body and explore the ways we can come to a peaceful center in all our emotional experiences.

How we come back to our inner home and nourish the range of emotions and feelings that flow in and out of our day-to-day transitions is unique to each and every one of us.

This kind of rest speaks to our hearts.

It offers a deep holding from the Divine around our hearts and emotional body so that we may regenerate and restore our capacity to feel.

A rest that fills our entire being with nourishment, meaning, love, and peace.

As always, take what resonates with you and leave out the rest.

What are some ways that you can honor your loved one so they may “Rest In Peace,” and in turn honor the loving rest you need for your heart space?

May this be the energy we cultivate together as we commemorate, communicate, and illuminate the path of light, love, and peace for our passed-on loved ones and for ourselves.
