plane are never lost. This process of detachment
will continuously occurs over time. The concept of
time is linear and it is something we’ve created as
humans. Time as we know it does not exist in the
afterlife and for spirit a year may seem to pass in
a months time. It is in the first 12 months that the
soul of the departed remains closest to the earth
plane. I often hear from my clients about how
they don’t feel their loved ones around as much
as they did when they first passed away. They
often fear that their loved ones are no longer with
them, but it is quite the opposite. When we are
around energy for a period of time we get used to
the “feeling”. Eventually we grow accustom to the
feeling the energy of our loved ones that it isn’t
as recognizable as in the beginning. That is when
the signs become important. Our loved ones will
begin to show us signs to validate their presence,
we just need to be aware.
Throughout the beginning stages of a soul’s
transition, it is presented with tools along with
opportunities to reflect and learn. The lessons we
are given while on the earth plane are discovered
as the soul is able to view their most recent
lifetime. It’s similar to going to see a movie, a
movie of their life, from conception to death.
This “life review” allows them see how their
decisions & choices have impacted not only their
own life but the lives of others. The soul will be
shown all the good things they’ve done in life as
well as the bad. They will see how their actions
may have been hurtful at times, but those same
actions were the catalyst for someone else’s
lesson, or inspired that other person to change.
You will view how you perceived experiences,
and then view how others perceived those same
experiences. You will relive memories and feel
the emotions brought about by those memories
on a deeper level then you did while you were in
the process of creating the memory itself.
Prior to coming to the earth plane and beginning
another incarnation, the soul will “map” out their
life by creating a soul contract. This contract
is created in collaboration with your guides to
create situations that will best support the lessons
you’ve decided to learn in that lifetime. I know it’s
difficult for many to believe, but we have chosen
our parents. We have also chosen our families,
and even the souls we have and will connect
with during our lifetime. Each soul will enable an
experience or lessons that we agreed to as part
of our life contract. During the life review, the
soul will observe how it has fulfilled that contract
during the time spent on the earth plane. They
will see the significant impact their choices have
made, and the ways in which they have or have
not learned their life lessons. These life lessons
are essential to the progression of the soul, and
15
they may be as simple as forgiveness or as deep
as self love. Regardless of the intensity of the life
lesson, they are equally important to the soul’s
growth and evolution. Some may even chose to
reincarnate in attempt to revisit a previous lesson,
or focus on learning a different lesson while in
the afterlife.
Many of these life experiences and lessons have
left the soul in a position that requires healing.
Fortunately the journey that occurs in the afterlife
supports that need as well. Each soul is able to
receive the healing they need in a space called
“The Healing Room”. There are many levels
to the healing process, and not every soul will
require as much as others will, but our soul
makes a conscious choice as to how deep our
need for healing may run. Sometimes we desire a
better understanding as to our actions and what
we observed during the life review. That may
create a desir
