Seeing the soul?

[mila]

Two and a half years ago I had this very mysterious experience when my gradmother died.

I had a very strong connection with my grandmother. She lived in another country, so we were a thousand miles apart.
Since I was working with Reiki and she loved it when I put my hands on her, I regularly sent her the energy from my home and she felt so close to me at those moments.
It was wonderful to send it to her, the feeling is different with every person, but with her...it was very special. I knew if she was in pain and were the pain was.
I always felt as if being in the same room with her, knowing what she was wearing and it was better than the phonecalls we had :)

My grandma had a broken hip and was in bed for a year (!) but her spirit never broke. She even called the airport from her bed, to ask if they could organise a wheelchair, because she had to go abroad to see her granddaughter...:) I wish everyone had known such a loving grandma.

At the day that she passed away, I got a phonecall from my uncle (her son) that he felt as if she had some difficulties leaving (this dimension, so to speak) I felt that too, maybe I was holding on to her, or she to us.

Some ten minutes after that, I closed my eyes and thought: I'm going to send her energy, don't know it that's good at someone's death-bed, but I'm doing it with my best intentions and all my love for her.
That's what I did.
I started sending the energy the way I'm used to, but before I even began (much faster than usual) I saw her lying on the bed. I saw what she was wearing, her haircolor (she wanted her hair dyed five days before getting ill!!) and her position.
Then, suddenly, something came out of her, I don't know how to discribe it, it was looking just like her, but it was white and I could look through it. That white energy sat down, while her body was lying on the bed and then flew up to the ceiling and the moment it came to the ceiling it became even more white and shining, lost all resemblance to her and disappeared.
When I opened my eyes, I felt so much love in my heart-chakra and I knew it was good and tears just kept coming.
After five minutes my uncle called to say she had passed away.
Somehow I knew that already.

That was an experience I will never forget.
Was it her soul that I saw? Was it her consciousness/her energy?
I've talked about this with several people, but no one has an answer.

Sorry for you loss...

That sounds like a beautiful experience, did she seem at peace?

[mila]

yes, she seemed very much at peace at that moment.
It was a total feeling of awareness to me and of endlessness, eternity, don't know how to describe it better.

The thing that was so amazing, besides seeing 'what left her body' , I heared from my uncle that she was wearing exactly what I had seen. The last time I saw her in real was six months before that (we were thousand miles apart) and then she was a bit skinny and her hair was brown. No one told me she had gained weight and that is precisely what I saw (in that vision with my eyes closed)
I also saw that she had very dark hair.
She asked someone to dye her hair, five days before passing away. Now that's the spirit ;)

Later that day it was as if she was sending me messages all the time. I was looking for a small photograph of her and then I found one in an old box, that one I hadn't seen in years, and then the picture fell out of my hand on the white side and I saw the text in her handwriting:
"This photo is for my granddaughter who I love most in this world"

Wow. That was just what I needed then :)

It's amazing how these things work... The kind of energies that are at play to give people what they need are mind blowing! You seem to be somebody that is much more in touch with spirits than most. I wish I was, there have been a couple of people I missed seeing before they left and wish I got some kind message.

I'm glad you got what you needed :)

Is it something you trained in? Or have you always felt a connection?

[mila]

I always had a remarkable connection with my grandma. I felt as if I was ONE with her.
For ex. when I was sitting on a chair, and she on another, at the other side of the room, she would say:
"Why are you sitting so far girl, come here I want to hold you!"
We were always physically close, holding eachother, talking, smiling. I have a loving and strong relationship with my mother, but it is not like this (that's okay, doesn't mean it isn't as wonderful)

Since I started working with Reiki (six years ago) I started sending it to her, which was a way of communicating with her intensively 'cause she was so far away. When sending the energy you have no feeling of time/space, it all disappears.

I remember once sending it to her (you are a channel at that moment, I guess everyone has Reiki/a word for energy, just not everyone is as open) and I saw her climbing the stairs. (peculiar: she had a broken hip)
That evening I received a call that she had just asked her son if he could try and help her up, 'cause she wanted to try and walk on the stairs! (she never asked that before)
Wow, I still can't figure out that one :rolleyes:

Our bond was (is) very strong, but I can see many things with others too when I send Reiki. Even if I don't know the person in real. I still don't know how I do it, but what I see is a concentration of the colour white on the injured part. (it's like a scan of the body that I visualise, the energetic field I'm seeing..we're talking about people who are not in the same room/house/city/country with me ;))

At that moment you feel very connected to the person you're sending to.

:D

What a beautiful experience:)

I am sorry for the loss of your grandmother.

I too have done my reiki but i dont seem to be able to really get into it, i cant concentrate (too much stuff going round in my head all the time!)

Can you meditate easily? I think this is my problem-I cant:o

Your description really struck a cord with me and gives me hope, it just feels right to me.

Thanks for sharing you have uplifted my spirit:)
