People who have died show up for us in many ways: through signs, feelings, memories, and dreams, to name just a few. Sometimes it’s hard to be sure whether the experience is ‘real’ or a coincidence. Instead of wondering about that, imagine your life on this planet as a flow of energy. We exist in nature and our rhythms are seasonal and cyclical. What changes when someone dies? Who really ever dies? Isn’t it all a constant transformation of energy? But even knowing this, sometimes the sorrow is so great it becomes locked into every aching breath we take. Breathe it in. Let it out. Through the rhythm of breath our sorrow can be transformed. Know that all you shared is as real right now as it ever was. Your love is real—and so is theirs. That truth is more important than any sought-after signs or messages from beyond. Today, let yourself be loved by those who have died. Allow yourself the solace of being still and let a soft mantle of presence and love drape comfortingly around you.
