“How can I Stay Connected with my Mother who has Passed On?”

An channeled answer that can apply to pretty much everyone.

A READER’s QUESTION: How can I stay connected with my mother who has passed on?

ANSWER (from me and my guides):

I can offer a few comments from my guides. Please note that these come from our perspective and others may have different perspectives. No perspective is inherently right or wrong. What is most important is what resonates with you at this moment.

(1) Everything we encounter and every experience we have has meaning and purpose. And they should be honored as such.

You can consider that your mother is now in a higher dimension (4th or 5th?) or lighter density reality. So, you cannot expect to relate to her in the same way that you would relate to someone in the 3rd Dimension.

The relationship that you can develop with her now is one that is similar to how people connect with higher dimensional beings, such as the Higher Self, Ascended Masters, Archangels, and the like. However, it is up to you to initiate and develop that relationship, because you have the power to do that, whereas lighter density beings are less able to do that, without your permission.

Remember that higher dimensions are less time and space dependent in comparison to our 3rd Dimension, so beings in higher dimensions can be with you at any time that you call on them or allow them to be present. So, you do not need to feel that you are imposing on their new existence.

You have known your mother through many other incarnations. We all have multiple incarnations with certain souls who we have developed a relationship with. If you have had a relationship with someone in your current incarnation, then it is most certain that you have also had a relationship with that same soul in other incarnations.

Those relationships tend to change in each incarnation. Sometimes you are in the same family (with distinct roles each time), sometimes you are work colleagues (again, roles often change each time), sometimes you are friends, sometimes you are enemies (during the one incarnation only), and in other incarnations you may barely know each other, or will not ever meet at all. It all depends on what your souls think might be best for each other each time around.

Almost all the relationships you have in any one incarnation are agreed to between you and many other souls before your birth, with the goal of mutually advancing your spiritual developments. These kinds of soul contracts or agreements are formed with many souls prior to an incarnation.

Some agreements are very important and difficult to break, and others are less important and may or may not happen — you have free will in all of this. You can usually tell which ones were the most important in your life because they have impacted you so much. It sounds like the one with your Mother was an important one, for sure.

If you have not yet read it, see this article in Souls and Soul Contracts:

The close relationship you had with your mother in this incarnation is an indicator that you and your mother have also been close to one another in other incarnations, as well as at the soul level, where you are part of the same soul family. Note that this applies to both past and future incarnations.

(2) Time is a kind of 3rd Dimensional illusion, because everything actually takes place in the present moment — including the past, present and future.

In that sense, the relationship that you and your mother had prior to her passing still exists and is still very much an ongoing relationship. You see it as a past thing due to the illusion of time. But from a higher dimensional perspective, it is as active now as ever.

So, our (me and my guides’) suggestion to you is to continue nurturing that relationship in whatever ways are most appropriate to your belief systems in the present moment.

You could, for example, establish an altar for her in your home, which you burn incense or candles on a regular pattern of some kind. Or you could say a prayer to her in some kind of regular pattern. There may be other practices that are more suited to your beliefs. Regularity and consistency are suggested, and not expecting anything in return.

If you put positive energies into developing a post-death relationship, you will reap positive rewards, because that will become your reality. It will be one in which your mother continues to play a positive role. And she will like that.

“In other words the past and the present are real to the same extent. At times in fact the past can become more real than the present, and in such cases past actions are reacted to in the present. You take it for granted that present action can alter the future, but present actions can also alter the past.” — Seth (Jane Roberts), The Early Sessions, volume 5, Session 224, January 17, 1966

Although focusing more on the past, this article tries to explain how past, present and future are all in the present moment:

(3) Some people are able to connect with their loved ones who have passed on through meditation and channeling.

However, this is extremely difficult for most others because of the high level of emotions that need to be overcome for clear channeling to take place. In that case, you might want to consult someone who has mediumship skills. It is important that the medium is credible and trustworthy in your eyes.

This is not something that I have a lot of experience with. Personally, I had some apparent success recently with Cornelius Christopher, which I describe in this article, in case you have not seen it:

We hope that is helpful.

Namaste

Addendum

Someone on Facebook group where I shared this article posted these additional tips on staying connected. There are indeed many methods that one can use. Find what resonates with you and create your own ritual.

Say her name, write her a letter, burn a candle that sits on a sliver of paper with her name written 3 times, do a meditation and use your imagination to remember her, recall a favorite time together and reconstruct it so you can live it again or expand upon it.
