Glimpses into Heaven
People often ask me what Heaven is like and what our loved ones in spirit are doing there. As a Spirit Medium, I have the unique ability to communicate with those on the Other Side and, in the process, they often provide me with glimpses of Heaven.
Our universe is much bigger and more diverse than most people on Earth can fathom. There are other worlds and dimensions which we travel to as souls for unique learning experiences. Our home base is Heaven, which is the starting point from which we were created, and it is the place we return to for rest and recuperate after our many experiences and adventures on Earth. There are other places in the universe where we can visit and experience lifetimes; however, I focus primarily on our experiences on Earth as that is something to which we can all relate and remember. Heaven is a place of healing, love, knowledge, and learning. It is a hive of activity with beings coming and going according to their soul plans and contracts, beings actively involved in the inner workings of Heaven, magnificent reunions with gala parties for the recently returned, lifetime reviews, and much more.
Arrival in Heaven
Upon arrival in Heaven, we are greeted by a welcoming angel or loved one in spirit who proceeds to help us become re-oriented to Heaven. Often, our guides are members of the delegation who help us to cross over into Heaven when our time on Earth is coming to an end. Our guide helps us to navigate our way through Heaven and to visit loved ones on Earth to see the events occurring since our passing. They also help us to send signs to our loved ones on Earth to let them know we are doing well and have made it to Heaven. Our guides are with us when we attend the memorial services and life celebrations in our honor on Earth and often stay with us, help us, and teach us until we are ready to visit our loved ones on Earth on our own. Older souls, who have experienced many reincarnations, are much faster at being able to communicate across dimensions because they have done this in the past. Younger souls, who have not had as many reincarnations, can take classes in Heaven to help them learn how to communicate via their spirits, send signs, appear in dreams, and manipulate energy on Earth to move objects, and more.
Creating Your World
Heaven truly is what we make of it. Resources are only limited by our minds and the levels we reached in our soul’s evolution. We can create homes using thought and they can be whatever we want them to be. For instance, you can have a quaint cottage by a lakeshore or a majestic castle with many rooms. Whatever you would like your personal slice of Heaven to be is what it is. Beautiful imagery of buildings and collective spaces, which are the collaborative efforts of many in spirit to create environments, have been shared with me through readings. This includes nightclubs from the 1940s where Frank Sinatra would sing and entertain, Victorian-era towns and cities, stunningly beautiful parks with elegant flowers and trees, ancient temples from Atlantis and Lemuria, modern and ancient sports complexes, and much, much more. Often, loved ones in spirit show me the homes they grew up in recreated in Heaven, as well as dream homes with glorious views of mountains, gleaming bodies of water, and rolling hills with amazingly green grass. The colors up there are gorgeous and much more intense than they are on Earth.
We also have the power to control our personal appearance in Heaven. I have frequently seen loved ones in spirit, including pets, as the younger versions of themselves enjoying their time in Heaven. We usually opt to look like we did on Earth because that is what we are used to; however, it is usually the younger versions of ourselves in our prime. It is my impression that the level of what you can do in Heaven and where you reside correlates with the level your soul has reached with its evolution. For example, a younger soul who has not had a lot of reincarnations and who committed crimes on Earth because they have not yet learned the way of love, do not have the same abilities and access to certain areas of Heaven. In addition, there are many spiritual hospitals for these souls, as well as institutions of learning to help them to better comprehend the true purpose of their existence. Older souls who have gained knowledge with each lifetime not only have greater expertise, but also greater access to more of the levels of Heaven. They are free to create what they wish and can travel to more locations in Heaven and beyond.
Activities in Heaven
In Heaven, time does not run on the same cycles as it does on Earth. I have not yet been provided with an equivalent measure, and this may be because one does not exist or that it is to remain a mystery from humankind for now. However, I do know we have plenty of time up there to explore a whole host of activities, while also watching over our loved ones on Earth. After a lifetime on Earth, we often need time to recover from the rough and tumble ride we encountered. When we cross over into Heaven, all our physical ailments automatically disappear because our souls are no longer housed in a physical body. Our minds and souls also receive healing. Those in need of deep healing have shown me in what I refer to as the Spiritual Hospital, which is much like a mental health hospital is on Earth but with angels in attendance to facilitate the healing process. There are inpatient programs and outpatient programs depending on the needs of the soul. As healing occurs, these souls are gradually integrated into existence in Heaven to fully enjoy the paradise of Heaven’s offerings. Those who have healed or are ready to fully enjoy their time in Heaven, often send me images of themselves reunited with all their loved ones in Heaven, relaxing and participating in their favorite pastimes, such as fishing, creating art, and spending time with people and pets who have crossed over before them.
Because of the love shared between souls and the connection that goes beyond death, loved ones in spirit often visit their friends and family here on Earth to see how they are doing. They are fully aware of events happening on Earth. They are allowed to help in certain ways with our lives through the sending of signs and messages; however, they cannot interfere with life lessons we need to experience or alter the soul contracts we agreed to prior to birth. Because of this, it may sometimes seem as if God, the Archangels, and loved ones in spirit are not helping us. They are helping us. It may be in ways we do not understand or anticipate because they have a higher understanding of what we need for the fulfillment of our soul contracts for this lifetime. Because our souls continue to exist and grow, Heaven offers opportunities to learn new skills and meet other souls, like we can on Earth. Images and information have been sent to me during readings of loved ones in spirit taking classes in music and art, as well as spirit-to-spirit communication and how to work with the energies on Earth and in Heaven. Many times, I have been shown friendships and relationships being formed, as well as family members in spirit who did not meet while on Earth getting to know one another. In Heaven, we can also volunteer for jobs. They are not like jobs on Earth. We choose what we would like to do, such as becoming a guardian angel to those we love on Earth, a muse who helps send ideas to those on Earth, a greeter at Heaven’s gates, or an assistant to the angels. Many souls enjoy being of service and Heaven offers many opportunities to bring to your spirit what you need most.
The Hall of Records
Within our magnificent home base of Heaven, there is a Hall of Records which contains information about everything that was, is, and will be for each of our souls. The files, which are referred to as the Akashic Records, contain our soul contracts for each lifetime, including the present one, as well as every detail of the lifetimes we have lived and are living, and information about future events for our souls. The future events are written in outline form and can be updated depending upon the actions we take in our current lifetimes. This is because of free will. There are events which are scheduled to occur in alignment with agreed-to soul contracts; however, the minute details may not be written yet due to constantly changing conditions here on Earth based on the decisions we make. When I am shown the Hall of Records, I see a large, white Parthenon-style building with a wide set of stairs leading up to a landing with six regal columns. Scattered throughout the image are people dressed in many different styles of clothing, as well as scholars and attendants in comfortable white- or cream-colored tunics and gowns. As a note, past life information can be accessed within the Hall of Records in an interactive manner, which allows visitors to delve into the past to retrieve information in a way that immerses them in the experiences. The Archangels, who are tasked with overseeing everything having to do with humankind and Earth, manage the Hall of Records and work with many orders of angels to help organize and facilitate events on Earth which coincide with soul plans and lessons for all on our planet. Guardian angels, some of whom are people who lived on Earth who volunteer to help their loved ones, are also given tasks and permission to send communications by the Archangels. For those who volunteer to be guardian angels to loved ones on Earth, they are given specific access to the Akashic Records for those they are watching over. They are allowed to communicate approved information through dreams, signs, and spirit-to-spirit communication — either directly or through someone who specializes in this unique system of communication, such as a spirit medium.
Epiphanies from Heaven and the Universal Mind
Heaven is an imagination hub, or conglomeration, where all ideas are created and sent through epiphanies to souls meant to bring them to fruition based on their soul contracts. The idea hatchery is often referred to as the Universal Mind. The ideas are disseminated at the appropriate time and place by God and the Archangels, as well as those who assist them. It is then the job of the Archangels to assign a muse to share the ideas with the beings destined to bring the ideas to fruition on Earth or in another world or dimension. Specific orders of angels, as well as loved ones in spirit who have volunteered to serve as muses, are responsible for the actual transmission of the ideas to the matching soul. There is a significant amount of real-time organization which takes place to facilitate this process. Many events and circumstances need to be devised at the proper times to bring ideas to light with the proper resources for the recipient. It is an incredible process which is also employed for the events and circumstances in our daily lives, in which we are placed in situations which encourage optimum opportunities for working through the lessons we agreed to in our soul contracts.
Why Do We Leave Heaven?
People often ask why we leave Heaven if it is so wonderful. We agree to temporarily leave Heaven to accelerate the growth of our souls. The lack of negativity in Heaven provides a certain kind of learning that is missing the great challenges that life on Earth or what other worlds may offer. We agree to a lifetime on Earth for strong and fast lessons, but then return to Heaven when our lessons have been completed. There are very important reasons why we need to be here and why we have the experiences we do. One of the most important is to discover our spiritual connection to all there is. Once we do return to Heaven, we have time to rest and enjoy activities we love while waiting for our loved ones on Earth to join us at their designated time. The love we share with one another keeps us connected across all dimensions because love is at the heart of our very existence. Once we are reunited with our closest soul groups, we decide where and when we would like our next adventure to begin.
So Much More
I hope you have enjoyed this glimpse of Heaven. There is so much more to it than we can perceive and what I can describe in this brief article. Each day, loved ones in spirit and the angels show me more and I hope to bring it to you to help you better understand not only why we are in existence, but also what exists beyond life on Earth.
With Love and Light,
