Why do those on the Other Side ask for our prayers?

What I do is an extension of my religious beliefs, and I make no apologies for that. So when people find out that I recommend that they pray for their loved ones who have passed away, some pass it off as a “Catholic thing.” Actually, I’m often asked in readings by spirits to relay to their loved ones that their prayers are needed. 

When I’m doing a reading I receive messages in a number of different ways (I’ll explain this in a future post). One of those ways is that I’ll be shown what I call “symbols.” Each symbol typically has at least four different meanings, and I’ve got to try to figure out which meaning I’m supposed to talk about. When it comes to prayer, the symbol I’ll typically see (psychically) is a lit candle, or “praying hands.”

I’ve learned over the course of hundreds of readings that when I see this it means that someone is praying for the person who’s coming through, or the person who is coming through is asking for prayers. If the person is being prayed for, usually the symbol I’m seeing is accompanied by a feeling of gratitude, so I’ll say, “You’re praying for this person, yes? He (or she) wants you to know that they’re grateful.”

Why would they be grateful? Why would they even need prayers? It all goes back to what happens after we leave this life for the next. When we pass, we go through a process the souls call a “Life Review.” It’s kind of like the answer sheet to all the questions we have about our life, the experiences we went through, and why. All the time this is going on, God (or whatever you want to call the Source of all that exists) is with us, not in a judging way, but lovingly supporting us. When the review is over, the soul places itself on a level that reflects it’s degree of insight. The greater their enlightenment, the closer they are to God, the more light they experience. The lesser their degree of understanding, the greater the “darkness” they find themselves in. They can still journey deeper into the light that is God however. 

Souls often tell me that the reason they come through during readings is that part of their spiritual journey is to help their loved ones that they left behind with their spiritual journey here on earth. That’s why they’re so eager to communicate with us.

Our prayers show our intent to communicate with them. Our prayers also bring so much joy to souls that the joy they feel raises their vibration, and in doing so helps them on their own journey. 

One of the ways I explain this is to use the example of a glass and a 55 gallon drum. Fill them both with water to the top, which is more full? Now substitute happiness for “water.” Our prayers help those we love who have gone before us develop and grow on the Other Side, enabling them to have an even greater capacity to experience more love, more happiness, more peace, more joy. 

I feel your peace.

September 11th

Today, America, and I believe most of the world is grieving what happened 7 years ago today. Every once in a while someone asks me if people who died in a tragedy such as 9/11 come through to me. No, because as I’ve said before, there really isn’t a reason for them to do so. No one who has lost someone in 9/11 has ever come to me for a reading. 

I have reconnected parents with their children who were soldiers and died serving our country in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as other wars. 

Still, I was wondering what I would say to someone who lost a loved one on that ugly day, as a psychic medium. I would tell them what happened was a tragedy in every sense of the word. I would also say that God was not responsible for the events of that day. God is not the angel of death. God did not take their loved ones away, God welcomed them home. 

Even though I have not personally talked to any of them, I can say that, based on the countless number of readings I’ve done, their loved ones are okay. They are at peace with what happened. The horror, and fear they may have experience that day vanished the moment that they crossed over. I would tell them, that their loved ones are waiting for them, and that one day they will be reunited again. 

I would tell them to pray for not only their loved ones, but all who perished that day. I’m often asked why someone would need our prayers if they’re already dead. I’ll just say this for now; prayer is a way for us to stay connected with those we loved who have passed away. They hear our prayers. They welcome our prayers. They often ask for our prayers. 

Tomorrow, I’ll explain why. Today, I’ll remember all of those who passed away in that event in my prayers. 

I feel your peace.
