In our channeled readings, we usually receive information telling people this and that about their soul, connecting to their Higher Selves, they are Spirit. And, yeah, that sounds really cool, and yes, we know this and it is a comfort...but then again, we are human and with that comes analytical minds, doubting what we can't see and experience with our senses, and wanting proof.
Don't forget about worrying! That one is a lifelong challenge for me. I have two little ones who I have trained myself not to constantly be a big pile of worry over, and I talk with their Higher Selves and their guides often about their fears, anxieties, and quirks that my husband and I have to guide to be used for positive instead of negative. You know, all that fun parenting stuff.
Our older daughter Stella is four and she has ALWAYS struggled with nighttime separation anxiety. Emotional development seems to cause a flare-up in this anxiety for her, and, as a last resort, we recently came up with a positive reinforcement/weekly reward system for her, which, thankfully has resolved the anxiety. This has ultimately led to our final nighttime exchange to be the following:
Me: "Good night! I love you and I believe in you!"
Stella: "Good night, I love you, good night, I love you, good night, I love you, I believe in myself, good night, I love you."
Me: "Good! I believe in you too! Good night!"
Stella: "I can play in my bed until l get tired, or sing songs, or tell Bear a story. Good night, I love you, good night, I love you, good night, I love you, good night I love you."
So, about a month ago around 1:30am, I was in the middle of a dream and I remember kind of waking up, being pulled into conscious awareness by Stella's voice right by my ear, like she was happily yelling directly into my ear, "Good night, I love you!"
Of course, I jumped out of bed to look at her baby monitor to check on her because, you know, parent, and she's sound asleep. Then I went into her room to make sure she was breathing because, again, parent and encounters spirits on a daily basis, and she was knocked out.
I could still heat her voice in my ear and I knew I hadn't dreamed it. She hadn't even been a character in the dream! So, I asked her guides about it, and they said that she and I had been together in soul form. I was coming back into my body as we were parting ways for the night, and her good bye is what I heard.
This not so ghostly encounter was definitely a first for me!
