Connecting to a Higher Dimension...

“My heart hurts! He’s yelling at me!” screamed my friend into the telephone. Christine had just connected with her older brother. He was in a hospital, in Chicago, and his body was in a coma. She was trying to determine whether to take him off life support or not. His friends were telling her to keep the faith, but the doctors were saying there wasn’t any hope for his survival.

Christine and I met during a two week intensive “healing techniques” workshop in California. The workshop was with a renowned healer from Canada whom I’d met in 1986. It was her last intensive healing training of her career so I was determined to attend. Some of the methods we learned involved developing our intuition, using Universal energy to heal ailments, and take people back to their past lives.

During the two years since the training, Christine and I kept in touch through facebook. It was one of her posts, about her brother in the hospital, that prompted me to call her. She and her older brother, Chris, were the only people left in their family. They’d kept in contact quite regularly, but the geographical distance between them made it difficult to spend physical time together. Christine lived in California and her brother still lived in their hometown of Chicago, Illinois.

Approximately two days before I read her post, Chris had experienced a spontaneous brain bleed. The situation was playing out in a similar fashion to my late husband, Jim’s. Immediately after reading her post, we talked. I shared my experiences and she shared hers.

Since we’d both worked on developing our intuition, she asked me if I could try and connect with him. I’d had quite a bit of experience connecting with a person in a coma, during the previous year, so I was familiar with the process.

Initially, I was unable to connect with Chris. He denied my request to talk so I informed Christine of his refusal. I assumed, since he didn’t know me, didn’t have any reason to trust me… probably not knowing if I would give Christine accurate information.

He told me he wanted to talk with her directly. When I shared this information with her, she explained he was a very private person and it made sense. I asked her to tell him she and I were friends, and I was trustworthy, hoping it would convince him to open up to me. She told him he could trust me and the door to communication opened.

So, as I started to connect with him… I could feel his confusion and agitation. He didn’t understand what was happening to him. His energy was quite scattered and frantic. During this first connection with him, I was only able to share with Christine the impressions I received... his scattered energy and confusion.

For the next few days, Christine and I were in continuous contact. She’d ask me to “check in” and see if there were any changes in Chris’ mood or if he had any messages for her. Finally, one afternoon she called and told me the doctors had shared with her some devastating news. They explained there was no hope for Chris to come out of his comatose state. The damage to his brain was too severe and she should consider taking him off life support.

Christine was incredibly distraught… she had to make the final determination as to whether she was going to keep Chris on life support or take him off. Once again, she wanted to connect with him to see if she could get any information about his feelings.

This time, while talking with Christine, I attempted to connect with Chris. He was vehemently telling me to take him off life support! “I don’t want to go back into that body!” he shouted at me. “Let me go!” This was not the information I wanted to share with Christine so I asked her to connect with him to see if she heard any messages. She explained with sadness in her voice, “I don’t know how to do it.” “Visualize your brother in front of you. Put one hand on your heart and reach out with the other to your brother’s heart.” I explained. Immediately, she yelled, “My heart hurts! He’s yelling at me!” I then asked her, “What is he saying to you?” “He’s screaming, Let me go! Let me go! You need to let me go!”

Feeling the angst they were both experiencing, I said to Christine “That is exactly what I was hearing. He also told me he didn’t want to go back into his body.” With that confirmation, Christine made the heart-breaking decision to take her brother off life support.

On her brother’s first year anniversary, Christine contacted me and asked if I would connect with her brother. Since we were talking on the phone when she made the request, I was able to relay messages to her. At the end of the conversation, I told her I’d check in with him during my evening meditation, to see if there were any more messages he would like to share. As I tried to contact him, I got the clear message that he didn’t want to talk to me. The only way he would talk with me was if I was also talking with his sister, Christine. Valuable lesson learned!
