This article is not intended to convince one that their deceased love ones can hear them or vice
versa. This is a personal and respected choice. The article is intended to help the earth bound living
to heal and to understand that every human being from every culture will eventually go through the
suffering of loss and to give some hope.
Since the beginning of time, ancient civilizations and religious sects have pondered the same
question, is there life after death and what happens after a person dies? At some point, when a dear
loved one such as a friend or family member passes, the mind can wonder where they may venture
post earthy life. Throughout history, many different religions and cultures believe that there is life
after death, and that the deceased return to be with God / God source. There are numerous
documented interviews with people who have had life after death experiences, proving fascinating
because the individual was pronounced medically “dead” but miraculously that person can convey
stories of incredible journeys to the other side or even recite what others have discussed. Debunkers
and some qualified medical doctors may claim that life after death experiences are caused by the brain
shutting down and the person remembers going through this experience after they awake or become
conscious.

There are numerous books and peer-
reviewed articles regarding life after death,
the bookstores and libraries, Internet are full
of life after death literature. There are
different theories that may be either
comforting or anxiety provoking.
The person who is open to the possibility of
life after death may ask a question, “How do I
speak to my loved one?” “Should I meditate,
be somewhere secluded, should I be with
clergy?” “Should I be alone taking a bath or
talk to them a certain time a day?” These are
all valid questions probably asked since the
beginning of man. I am sure there are many
different answers that derive from different
religious backgrounds, culture or times.
Having a religion or belief system may be
comfort in itself and again, it is a personal
choice. Maybe if the earthbound becomes
still and listens within, true answers may

Not all beliefs are tangible or can be perceived with human empirical senses; although one thing is
for sure, human beings can perceive with their hearts. For those who are living that speak to love
ones on the other side it may prove to be a healing experience, especially for the living in grief.
Maybe speaking from the heart is the best recipe of all.
If the dead travel can to the other side, a question then arises. Can spirits become trapped between
different dimensions such as Heaven or Purgatory? Or even Hell? And can perhaps some spirits may
become agitated or frustrated? There may be several different answers to this question depending
on a person’s belief or religion, or depending what part of the world the question may manifest. There
is no judgment with the various answers or lack of answers, just ideas and hypothetical thoughts that
may explain why a soul can become agitated between worlds. The earthbound living entities can at
times cause pain and “suck the life out of others” physically or emotionally. Sometimes these people
who routinely drain others are called psychic vampires. They are in need of healing and or
professional help and can cause great hardship and grief.

A person can always learn to protect themselves through various techniques and
prayers and an individual’s religious or philosophical history is not important in the
spirit world. The important thing to remember in protecting oneself is using positive
intent and being still in the knowing that we are all connected as a huge universal
energy source. The receiver using vivid imagery of protection in any forms can
thwart negative energy sources or spirits that attempt to sap the living of their
precious energy source. Many books have been written that there is a “proper” way
to protect an individual’s psychic energy. Some paranormal writers claim that the
living can be protected by using imagery connecting a grounding cord to the earth

and filtering out any negativity. Other techniques have been described by imagining a big bubble or
golden shield surrounding the person so that any negativity is shielded out.
Prayer in many forms can be used a form of protection and clarification from a God Source. Truly,
communicating with spirits and loved ones can differ, although, the experience is very personal,
individualistic and distinctive.
