ASK A PSYCHIC:
ARE SPIRITS AROUND US?
By MARY DREW
North Shore Psychic Medium
When my brother died almost
20 years ago, we discovered that an
ordinary, common symbol seen our
entire lives had become our family’s
coping mechanism.
That symbol was a butterfly. It
brought feelings of healing to our broken
hearts and a sense that through
rebirth and transition, he had successfully
made that great journey beyond.
After a loved one passes on, many
feel a heavy grief, emptiness and
sorrow that the departed will never
be seen again. These feelings may be
why many passed loved ones try to
get messages over to us.
Sometimes, the messages bring us
healing; other times, a friendly hello.
Spirits love sending us signs and symbols
to show that they are with us for
important events or celebrations. Signs
can come to us in a multitude of ways.
One of the best ways for deceased
family and friends to speak with us is
while we sleep. Dreams can connect
the human and spirit world. While we
rest, we give thoughts and mental clutter
a break. We become more relaxed.
Dreams are a great way to have
a spiritual encounter. However,
dreams are just one tool used by a
spirit to communicate. Many find
that they are pulled to see certain
numbers, dates, animals, insects,
coins or feathers, objects misplaced
or moved to another part of their
house, electrical issues in a residence
or automobile, and a variety
of sounds and smells.
As a medium, I’ve grown comfortable
with sensing a spirit’s presence,
hearing voices or buzzing sounds
in my ear, smelling perfumes or
flowers, and looking for signs that
surround me.
Signs can become very personal
and provide great peace and comfort.
Some people know and sense that
loved ones are around them. Others
sense no spirit activity and become
frustrated with the silence and finality
that death seems to create.
Yet, the signs are always there. It is
through our faith and understanding
that we alter and clarify our human
perspective to view what loved ones
graciously send.
We must be patient and persistent
with deceased loved ones
and remember we can always make
requests or suggestions for them.
Ask them to talk to you, come to you,
or send specific signs that help you
heal. Signs are everywhere; we just
need to look with our soul’s vision
and at times try to separate from our
human form.
While I write this, a small brown
and yellow butterfly keeps tapping
the window in my family room. I
can’t help but chuckle at the thought
that maybe my brother is watching
me right now and sending me a
friendly reminder that he is always
with me.
