Before I see Spirit, with my eyes closed, I see magnificent colors swirling around, and eyes, large eyes of several beings - I believe they are my spirit guides.  But the colors are so glorious, I often have tears roll down my cheeks.  Then I sense that I'm not alone, I ask 'Who is here?'  I hear Spirit speak - if they had an accent, they still do, then I see what they looked like when they were on this side.  They show me their occupation, and give me a name.

Background Information:

Date of experience:          several months ago

Length of time between death of deceased and your experience:  6-8 months

Was the date of the experience significant in any way?    Bob has shown up for his wife, Mary, multiple times now.  Mary confirms/verifies the information that Bob shows me.  Mary has been my patient for several years.  I never met Bob until after his death - and now I feel as if I know him very well!  He has quite the sense of humor.

General geographic location of experience:  Senoia, GA (The irony of this location is that it is where hit TV show 'The Walking Dead' is filmed!  God has a sense of humor : )

Details of location of experience and your activity at the time of experience:        I was in a therapy session with this patient - my patient was sobbing - and Bob popped in on my right side (Spirit always shows up on my right side, I don't know why) and Bob told me to remind Mary:  'Tell her about the green car... the green car!'  I asked if she knew anything about the green car.  She immediately smiled.  Mary said, 'OMG!  It was a 1970's muscle car - he loved that thing and I hated it!'  Bob said, 'Remind her that car is where we conceived our first child... chuckle'  I told Mary what Bob said, and she responded, 'Oh probably, we used to have sex in that thing all of the time!'

Did you hear the deceased or hear something associated with the deceased?       Yes

          Describe what you heard, how clearly you heard it and what was communicated:          In one instance, I heard a woman with a heavy accent - and she was so stubborn!  She told me she would wait until I delivered the message to her grandson - who was giving me a massage.

          Did the voice or sound seem to originate externally or outside of you, inside you, or did you not hear a voice or sound, but had a sense of knowing what was communicated?          The voice is inside of my head.  As if I have in ear buds and I'm listening to a movie.

52

            Was the touch familiar or unfamiliar? No, I allowed Spirit to use my body so that I could understand how they died.  I've felt heart attacks, drug overdoses, traumatic brain injury, and a fatal car crash.

            Is there any possibility what you felt was from any other source present in the surroundings at the time of your experience? No

Did you see the deceased?       Yes

They appear as they were so their loved one will recognize them

            How clearly did the deceased appear?            I've never seen them with my eyes open.  But they show me in picture, sort of like a slide show... and if I don't get it the first time... they very patiently and lovingly repeat it until I understand.

            How much of the deceased did you see?       I see (with eyes closed) all of them.

            Did the deceased appear or not appear to be the age at which they died?   They appear to me exactly how their loved one would best recognize them.

            How healthy did the deceased appear to be?            Wonderfully healthy.  They only show me limps, or amputation, if it's evidence for their loved one

Did you smell a distinct smell, scent, fragrance or odor associated with the deceased? Yes

          Was the smell, scent, fragrance or odor familiar?   Not to me - but it was important for my patient.

          Was anything communicated by the smell?  The smell was to announce a husband's presence

          Is there any possibility that the smell, scent, fragrance or odor was from any other source present in the surroundings at the time of your experience?         HAHAHA - not in this historical home - it's a tinderbox.  NO Smoking!

How do you currently view the reality of your experience?          Experience was definitely real

          Please explain why you view the reality of your experience as real or not real:   Because the Spirit(s) provide me with specific evidence that I would have no way of knowing

          Was the experience dream like in any way?  No

Describe in detail your feelings/emotions during the experience:  During the experience, I am trying to focus on what Spirit is trying to tell or show me.  It's like your trying to hear someone when there is a bad cell phone connection

It helps grieving hearts

What was the best and worst part of your experience?     The best part is interfacing with the Divine.  The worst part is not being believed
