Feeling sad from losing someone?: We should talk more openly about the dying process.

Published by Alison Wem on

This week I have lost a good friend of over 50 years. He was my late husband’s best friend. They came to me as a cheeky pair and always made me laugh. We met as teenagers and stayed friends through all of the ups and downs of life. My friend held my son when he was only hours old having talked his way into the maternity ward. I always knew he would be there for me if I needed help. He was a good man.

Sadly my friend has been terminally ill for 10 months. We still met up and laughed but in the background our hearts were heavy. The dying process can be protracted and not easy to participate in. As my friend’s health deteriorated, he no longer wished to meet up. He was a very private man and didn’t want me to see him as he had become. I had to respect his wishes, but it wouldn’t have worried me how he looked. He was still the friend he had always been.

As the end drew near, my friend wanted to meet one more final time. It was as if he delayed passing until he had seen me. Although frail, his good humour was still there which eased the meeting for both of us. I am a strong believer in the After Life but he was not so sure. I know we will meet again.

After our final meet-up, I gave my friend a healing for the dying. It was never going to fix his body, but I believe it could ease his transition and create a stronger link between him and his loved ones still on Earth. At first, he will be busy in the After Life. But when he is ready, he will more easily be able to connect with us. During the healing I saw his soul standing outside of his body looking at all the nurses were doing for him. I realised he was preparing to leave and glad that he was no longer experiencing the ravages of the final stages of his illness.

Two hours after the healing, my friend passed. I bade him adieu and look forward to seeing him again at my welcome home party when I pass, if not before.

The bridge between the physical Earth and the After Life is much stronger than most people recognise. If you speak to bereaved people, many will say how their passed loved one has given them a sign that they are still around. You need to be alert for however they are able to signal to you. It might be the words of a song on the radio that jump out at you, a smell, a feather or many other small signs that are significant to you.

Death is but a transition from one state to another. You are still alive after you die and take with you the love and memories you have from your life on Earth. In the After Life your memories will expand as you remember former lives you have had. Your soul and spirit are energy and can not be destroyed.

There is much to live for after you and your loved ones pass from Earth to the After Life.

Unlocking Inner Wisdom: Simple Steps to Awaken Your Intuition

In a world filled with distractions, many women long to reconnect with their intuition – their own inner compass. Intuition is that deep inner knowing, the voice within that senses things beyond logic. Strengthening this connection is a powerful way to navigate life’s challenges and decisions with confidence and clarity.

Here are some practical ways to tune into your intuition and cultivate a life guided by your inner wisdom.

1. Create Moments of Stillness

To hear your intuition, start by creating space for stillness in your life. Intuition often speaks softly, so slowing down is essential. This doesn’t have to be lengthy – even five minutes in the morning can make a difference. Find a quiet spot, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. In this relaxed state, you’re more open to the subtle whispers of your intuition.

Personally, I find when I am doing a big pile of ironing, I can hear my intuition loud and clear. I am focused on the ironing but another part of me engages with my intuition. I get some great messages of love, guidance and inspiration while ironing.

2. Trust the “Gut Feeling”

We’ve all felt that “gut feeling”- a sense of knowing without fully understanding why. These intuitive nudges are valuable, often arising from deep awareness. Start paying attention to this feeling, especially in uncertain situations. You might notice a sense of ease or tension with different choices. Trusting this reaction, even in small decisions. It helps you build a stronger relationship with your intuition over time.

3. Try Journaling for Reflection

Journaling can be a powerful tool to uncover your inner voice. Take a few minutes each day to write down your thoughts, feelings, and any intuitive insights. If you’re wrestling with a decision, try free writing without overthinking. Letting your thoughts flow onto the page can reveal insights that deepen your self-understanding, helping you connect with the wisdom beneath the surface.

4. Practice Mindfulness Daily

Mindfulness keeps you connected to the present, making you fully aware of what’s happening within and around you. Practicing mindfulness – whether through breathing exercises, mindful walking, or focusing on a task – opens the doorway to greater intuitive awareness. By staying grounded in the now, you’re more likely to notice subtle signals that can guide you.

5. Embrace Your Dreams

Dreams are often rich with intuitive guidance. Keep a journal by your bed to record any dreams upon waking. Over time, you might notice recurring themes or symbols that resonate with you. Trust that dreams can be a gateway to deeper wisdom, helping you see aspects of yourself and life from a new perspective.

6. Let Go of Self-Doubt

Building intuition requires trust in yourself. Self-doubt is one of the biggest barriers to intuition, keeping you from embracing what you sense or feel. If you struggle with this, try affirmations like “I trust my inner voice” or “My intuition guides me wisely.” Releasing self-doubt is essential to building a clear, empowered connection to your intuition.

If all else fails, start listening and taking action on small things so you can build up your confidence over time. Don’t think it can only be used for lofty guidance. I use mine when I have lost my reading glasses!

 

By nurturing these practices, you’ll cultivate a powerful bond with your inner wisdom. Trust that you hold the answers you seek; all you need is the space and willingness to listen.

Your intuition is a gift – an inner guide ready to support you every step of the way.

Embracing Feminine Energy: Nurturing Your Soul’s Spiritual Journey

Feminine energy is a nurturing force within all of us, men and women, symbolising intuition, compassion, and creativity. Many people may feel disconnected from this softer, intuitive side in a world that often emphasises masculine energy – action and logic. However, embracing feminine energy can lead to deeper spiritual growth, inner peace, and a more balanced life.

Tell Me More About Feminine Energy

Feminine energy is often misunderstood. It’s not weak or passive but a powerful force of feeling, connecting, and flowing with life. It encourages us to trust our emotions, listen to our intuition, and approach life with empathy and compassion. Feminine energy is rooted in nurturing ourselves and others, aligning with the natural cycles of life. Unlike masculine energy, which pushes toward action and control, feminine energy allows us to slow down, embrace stillness, and find strength in our inner guidance.

We all have a mix of feminine and masculine energy. Men often totally ignore the feminine energy within them.

Why Does Feminine Energy Matter for Spiritual Growth?

Feminine energy plays a crucial role in spiritual growth because it helps us go inward. It enhances your intuition, enabling you to trust your inner wisdom and align with what truly feels right. This trust strengthens your connection to your soul and your spiritual path.

Compassion, a cornerstone of feminine energy, fosters healing and forgiveness. You grow on a soul level when you are kind to yourself and others. Embracing feminine energy also helps you to surrender and flow with life rather than constantly striving for control, allowing you to feel more connected to the universe.

How Do You Tap into Your Feminine Energy?

Here are a few ways to connect with your feminine energy for spiritual growth:

  1. Trust Your Intuition – Pay attention to your gut feelings and inner voice. Feminine energy thrives on intuition, helping guide you toward the right choices without overthinking.
  2. Embrace Stillness – Create time for quiet reflection through meditation, journaling, or simply sitting in silence. Feminine energy grows in moments of stillness and introspection.
  3. Practice Self-Compassion – Be gentle with yourself. Feminine energy is nurturing, and self-care is an essential part of it. Allow yourself to rest, feel your emotions, and forgive yourself when needed.
  4. Connect with Nature – Nature is an embodiment of feminine energy. Spend time outdoors, whether in a garden, park, or by the ocean. The natural rhythms of the earth can help you reconnect with your inner flow.
  5. Express Your Creativity – Feminine energy is inherently creative. Whether through art, writing, or cooking, engage in activities that allow you to express yourself without judgment or worry about the outcome.

Tapping into feminine energy means embracing the softer, intuitive, and compassionate aspects of yourself. Connecting with this energy will open the door to deeper self-awareness, inner peace, and spiritual growth.

Embrace the flow of life, and trust that feminine energy will guide you toward your true spiritual path

Working with the Moon: Unlocking the Spiritual Power of Lunar Phase

For centuries, people have looked to the moon for guidance, sensing its influence on nature and human life. Many women, in particular, feel drawn to the moon’s natural cycles, noticing how they affect energy, emotions, and intuition. By understanding and working with the moon’s phases, you can align your spiritual practices with its natural rhythms and harness its energy for personal growth.

The Power of Lunar Cycles

The moon moves through different phases every month, each carrying its unique energy. These phases—New Moon, Waxing Crescent, Full Moon, Waning Crescent, and everything in between, can affect how you feel, act, and even think. When you sync your spiritual practices with the moon’s energy, you connect with a natural cycle that supports your intentions and growth.

The New Moon: A Time for New Beginnings

The New Moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle. Its energy is calm and introspective, making it the perfect time for setting new intentions. As the sky is dark, it’s an ideal phase for reflection and planting seeds for what you want to manifest. During this time, take a moment to meditate on your goals, journal about your desires, and set clear intentions for the coming month.

The Waxing Crescent: Building Momentum

As the moon begins to grow, energy builds. The Waxing Crescent phase is about action and forward movement. This is the time to start putting your intentions into practice, taking small steps toward your goals. Whether making decisions, starting a new project, or working on personal growth, this phase encourages positive action and progress.

The Full Moon: A Time for Clarity and Celebration

The Full Moon is a powerful phase, radiating energy and illuminating all areas of life. It’s a time of heightened emotions, insights, and spiritual clarity. During the Full Moon, your intentions peak, and you may experience breakthroughs or realizations. It’s also a time for celebration, gratitude, and releasing anything that no longer serves you. Full Moon rituals often include journaling, charging crystals, or practicing gratitude to harness this potent energy.

The Waning Moon: Releasing and Letting Go

After the Full Moon, the moon begins to wane, signalling a time to slow down and let go of what’s no longer needed. The Waning Moon is ideal for clearing mental, emotional, or physical clutter. This phase supports reflection and healing, allowing you to release old habits, fears, or thoughts blocking your progress. Use this time for self-care, rest, and spiritual cleansing.

The Dark Moon: Rest and Reflection

As the moon cycle comes to a close, the Dark Moon phase (just before the New Moon) encourages deep rest and reflection. This is the perfect time to pause, reflect on the past month, and prepare for the new cycle ahead. Spiritual practices during this time may include meditation, journaling, or simply resting to restore your energy.

Harnessing Lunar Energy in Your Daily Life

By aligning your spiritual practices with the moon’s phases, you can harness its energy for personal growth. Whether you set intentions during the New Moon, take action as the moon waxes, celebrate your wins at the Full Moon, or let go during the waning phase, working with the moon’s natural rhythms can deepen your spiritual connection.

 

Harnessing the moon’s energy helps you flow with nature’s cycles, empowering you to align your spiritual practices with the lunar phases. Whether you’re a seasoned astrologer or just curious about the moon, tuning into its energy can be an enriching and transformative experience.
