Can you send them messages even, if you aren't meditating?? Say I just talk to God, or my spirit guides and tell them to deliver a message to my deceased gpa that I want him to know that I love him and miss him.. Will they do that for me or no? Do you have to meditate to communicate??

Hi DaBearsguy,

My first thought is that you would need to be in a quiet place in a calm mood so that you can focus your intent to communicate.
I believe that at first they don't listen to everything we say, like reading our grocery list, etc, lol.  So they need to feel your intent. I could be wrong though. Maybe a strong feeling along with your thought would cut through even noises of the Windy City's "El."  :)
(Maybe they've already heard and you'll get an answer tonight! )

Hi Bear,

I think you can send messages at any time, especially heart messages of love. I didn't know that before I came to this site, although I really did.  What I mean is, prayers for the dead are included in many other spiritual practices.  Remembering the dead with respect, love and reverence has always been a part of many cultures.

For me, some of the greatest surprises are seeming contacts that appear spontaneously in my life in the form of dreams, waking messages or signs, and journeys in meditation.

I don't think there is one way....but if one way doesn't work for you, maybe just ask for another way. If quiet contemplation and prayer for a sign doesn't work, ask for a dream.  Keep with the intent.

If that doesn't work, try meditating.  A deep meditation will always give you some kind of message which you need to hear at that time, and is very comforting.

But I wouldn't expect a specific result at a specific time.  Be gentle with yourself and let the messages come through when the path is clear.

I think you are on the right path if you just keep your mind open to possibility.

love, blink :)

Thanks for your guy's great replies! I see what you guys and me and will try to see if that works for me...

Also, I was wondering if they can know what is going on in our minds?? Like what worries us.. Like for instance I worry about creating my own hell.. Do you think my gpa knows that?? Because a psychic I talked to said that my gpa wishes he would of know that I worried about that before he died.. So, he could of helped me out with my thoughts about hell.. I think they can tune into what we are thinking too..

I got a notion to do some remodeling last summer, and cut a hole in the kitchen floor to open up a stairwell that had been covered up since the fifties.  No one knew I had done it, I wasn't planning it, so it hadn't been mentioned to anyone, at any time.  After I got it done, I was standing half-way up, so I was about waist deep in the kitchen floor, saying to John (who's dead, by the way) "I wonder if you can see what I've been up to."

A few weeks later I talked to a medium, who, in the middle of talking about a dog that she saw with John, said "Somebody fell through the floor??"  I said, no, no one fell through the floor that I knew of.  She said she was being shown someone half-way down through a floor...

If that's a coincidence it's a mighty impressive one.

DaBears,

Your question strikes home with me because I've been trying for a few months to do the same thing.  I haven't had any luck yet but I'm determined to keep trying.

You mentioned how close you were to your Granddad in a dream post not long ago.  My Grandma just died yesterday morning.

I hope you have some luck and very soon.  Hang in there.

Katie

I hope she will come see you Kate..I'm sure she will try and maybe you will be open. love, alysia  probably she needs a few weeks to get adjusted more or less.

Hi DaBears; in my experience family members are aware of the thoughts/feelings you have the most often. not so much a passing thought, but the consistent ones, where you are missing them perhaps, because of the emotions, it puts out a certain vibrational color and tone they can see and hear because of their ability to tune into those they are concerned about and love. so yes Grandpa can receive messages. in some cases also there are helpers who bring messages to Grandpa for you, in case he's off doing something else.

love, alysia

Kate, I am sorry to hear about your gma! I hope you will connect with her someday!

Thanks laffingrain for that message! I believe you are right and that is what I always felt about them knowing our thoughts.. I just wasn't for sure..

Peace
