Evolving Soul Magazine Relaunch | Page 15

Spirit 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
