say hello to the elephant

I saw a soul come through a portal from the other side, and it was amazing.

I have also seen a soul leave this side and become the light of the ‘other’ side.

Both of those moments were powerful enough to change my life forever. I really do feel so grateful that I was allowed these opportunities.

I’ll start with my first experience. I was present in the room when my father-in-law lost his battle with cancer. It still brings tears to my eyes when I think back to that moment – Tears of sadness, tears of love & tears of peace. Barry was uncomfortable for months, yet he never complained. He was such a beautiful gentle soul (so much like his son-my precious soulmate). The day Barry’s soul moved from this human life experience, was a clear blue day.  He was surrounded by his entire family – wife, 3 kids, partners and grandchild, in a private hospital room with a balcony and window. He was having some breathing difficulties, so a nurse came in to help him. I will never forget that beautiful nurse and the beautiful thing she said to us that day; – “I need to tell you that the Angels are here for Barry. It is his time.”

She left the room, and all of a sudden, Barry could breathe. He looked so peaceful and so calm. He was almost glowing – he was ‘lighter’ – like a light had been turned on. All of us stood around his bed, and we all had a hand on him.  I remember him, looking at each of us, one at a time. He couldn’t speak, but his eyes said “I love you” to every single one in that room. There was so much love and so much emotion. I remember hearing Matt say “I love you dad”, and I remember watching Matt’s mum lay her head down on Barry’s hand, and sob the words “I love you so much”.  Barry was breathing so easily for the first time in days, and he truly looked “lighter”. After he had looked into the eyes of all of us, he closed his, and his body was instantly different. He was no longer in it. He was gone. He was outside in the blue sky. Feeling his presence gone, was almost like giving us permission to let all our emotions flow. We no longer had to be strong, and we could all cry openly & loudly. This experience made me realise just how short, and how precious, our human experience is. I also realised that day how special, & almost beautiful, it is to leave this experience when you are surrounded by so much love. We are only energy, emotions and feelings – that is all.  Peace and love to you Barry – where ever you are. ❤

The next special, and pivotal, moment in my life, was witnessing a soul  born into this human experience. Yes, I had already given birth three times myself, but when you are ‘in’ labour, you are ‘in a zone’,  ‘inside yourself’, and I definitely didn’t ‘see’ my births. My beautiful friend asked me to support her during second her birth. She wanted to try for a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean). Of course I was ALL for it!!  I was so touched that she believed that I was the one person who could keep her, and her husband, on track and calm during such a powerful moment.

Kristy laboured beautifully for hours. Like a text book. I’m not sure what sort of ‘support’ I was for her, but I like to think I did keep them both relatively calm.

It was now 7hrs into the labour. The room was dark, the room was quiet, the doctor had a light on Kristy, and her husband and I stood close by her side. She was open.  To be honest, it was though the space between her legs was meters high. I swear, it was like looking at energy spinning around like a portal in a science fiction movie. It was one of the most amazing things I had ever seen. Kristy’s husband had told me earlier, that he did not want to be down ‘the business end’. But I knew that this ‘space’ was like nothing he had ever seen before, and unlikely to ever see again. I convinced him to watch how powerful his wife’s energy was as she allowed their child to come through to the earth side. He watched it with me. We held each other silently, and we both cried tears of awe. The doctors and nurses where silent, and occasionally either Kristy’s husband or myself would tell Kristy how amazing she was.  Logan came into the world, surrounded by nothing but pure love, and a sense of peace and calmness.

It was at that moment, having now seen a soul leave, and a soul arrive, I realised that our time here having our ‘human experience’ is for such a short, precious, crazy moment. We all have a beginning and we all have an end to this experience. I have seen us come in to this life with love, and leave it with love.We are more than these physical bodies we live in.  We are energy. We are souls. We ARE love.

All the stuff between, well, that’s all the ‘stuff’ we call ‘life’ (and it includes all our beautiful ‘elephants’).

Close your eyes, feel the love around you, and the love that IS you. And smile, because… that love feels nice ❤

Eternal love to you all.
