#30: Practice the Art of Communicating with Loved Ones Who Have Passed Away

Necromancy is an old word (it is found in the oldest texts of the Bible), and according to Merriam-Webster means, “the conjuration of the spirits of the dead, for purposes of magically revealing something about the future or influencing the course of events.” Perhaps you long to discuss a burning question, or you seek to chat to gain insight into a problem with a beloved relative, a friend, or much-admired teacher, but that person has passed over. With the help of your angels, you can communicate with the spirits of those who have passed through the veil separating the world of matter and the world of spirit.

These spirits may even be trying to contact you. Perhaps they want to talk with you as much as you desire to speak with them. And if you do want to talk with a deceased person, know that you are not alone. Dr. John Stanton, author of a book about talking with the dead, noted that studies suggest that roughly 720 million people around the world every day talk to the dead. He was interviewed by Weekly World News, and explained that anyone can master the technique if they give it about five minutes of practice each day. Here’s how.

1. Rest in a quiet place. Close your eyes and release all fear and worry. Ask your angels to surround you in a protective white light and keep vigil over you through the process.

2. Focus with your mind’s eye on the person so that you hold a clear mental image of him or her.

3. Ask a clear and concise question. Ask for the answer and wait for it. Do not force a response. Just wait until it comes.

Some people feel and experience their loved ones who have passed on as their guardian angels. Their presence and love never leaves you, and yes, it can feel as if they are still around you and acting as your guardian angel. As mentioned before, the angels have never been in a physical form. They are celestial beings of pure light, love, and energy.

People who have crossed over and who are now in the spirit world are better referred to as spirit guides. Some loved ones may choose, as part of their soul plan and evolution, to be a spirit guide for you during your life’s journey. It is said that the relatives you were named after at the time of birth have a soul contract to watch over you as spirit guides after their transition to the other side.

Always show respect and gratitude, not only to the souls who have passed over who may communicate with you, but also to the angels for their loving, protective presence.
