How Spirit Let us Know they Are Close By
These past few weeks, I have been rather focused on strengthening my connection with my own loved ones in spirit, both human and pets. The telepathic dialogue I felt that I was receiving was comforting, but as we can all tend to do, I would get a bit doubtful and I asked spirit for some physical signs too.
At home I frequently see through my peripheral vision – usually on my left side and particularly in the lounge, kitchen, or in my office, and, by the size of these fleeting shapes, I have a pretty good idea which pet is around. Often is the case too, that when I sit on my bed at night my cats’ gaze is glued to a section of the wall next to me and I have a sense that would be my late husband, particularly with my one tuxedo cat, who he rescued from very dire circumstances, taking a big risk to do so. He wasn´t known for his empathy for people, but when it came to an animal, he was another person altogether. She is a bit of a miracle.
When my father passed, apart from being a frequent visitor to my monthly psychic circle I held with a group of women some years ago, I felt he´d visit me in other ways. A couple of weeks after his passing some sixteen years ago, I was outside putting out some washing on a warm, still, summer´s day in Johannesburg, South Africa and the most exquisite Monarch butterfly landed on my shoulder. I was touched, being aware that the Monarch butterfly is often a sign of a loved one being around. However, this little beauty remained on my shoulder throughout the day and, I proceeded with my day, thinking he/she would fly off through an open window or door whilst I was doing chores popping in and out of the house, making calls, etc. My three dogs just observed uninterested in my winged companion.
After some hours, I was getting a bit concerned for the well-being of this beautiful butterfly friend, and after sitting a while and talking to it, in case it was my dad, I gently removed him or her from my shoulder, and placed it onto a high tree branch in the front garden. I subsequently looked up more information about the Monarch butterfly on Google. One definition was that they are a beautiful sign from a Guardian Angel, or a loved one to let you know that they are forever close. On a sealed envelope my father gave me when he was in hospice he wrote; ´to be opened in the event of my death´. The note inside which I now have framed, next to his picture read; ‘I Love you very much and will always watch over you. Love Dad xxxx’
In my pursuit to strengthen my connection with loved ones on the other side of the veil, I have requested a sign out loud. I have had so much undeniable evidence given to me and I have given to others over the years, but this past couple of weeks or so, I really felt the need to receive a sign. For several years now, I have found myself doing most things on my own, as well as driving and it was on a recent drive to my chiropractor about forty minutes drive away from home that I asked for a sign ´pleadingly´. Within ten minutes the car radio came on. I knew it had been switched off prior because the constant talking on various radio stations was irritating me. However, I did doubt that I had really switched it off. Perhaps I had knocked the button (doubting Thomas!) I then made sure it was switched off because whatever station had come on was not one I would usually select anyway. I thanked spirit just in case they had given me a sign and put it out of my mind. Then, fifteen minutes into my return drive home, the radio came on, all by itself, and this time on came Whitney Houston´s ´I will always love you´. Goosebumps yes!!
And finally, these past ten days, there have been countless times I have looked at the digital clock which I bought for my late husband, and the time? 11.11. I know this is spiritually significant for various reasons, and for additional confirmation, I looked up some old notes from an Angel workshop I attended years ago. Amongst other spiritual explanations for constantly seeing the synchronicity of numbers 11.11, it often serves as a message from our Angels, guides, and loved ones that they are trying to reach us and let us know that they are around. We can see this as a ´calling card from other realms´!
