When we believe that it is possible to connect with our loved ones who have departed from this physical world, and we create a space within ourselves to engage with them, we come to understand that our relationships continue even after a loved one dies. In reality, we have the opportunity to enter a new phase of our relationships.

Before going deeper with this practice, it is essential to explore the following,


Soul sanctuary and grief


Indeed, the experiences that transform us most in our lives often bring about significant change. Grief arises when our lives suddenly alter. When related to the loss of a loved one, grief can be overwhelming and earth-shattering, completely upending our existence. In a culture that is mainly grief-illiterate, many people feel uncertain about how to move forward after such a loss.


Meeting with a loved one in Soul Sanctuary often provides immediate relief, allowing us to truly feel, sense, and know that our loved ones continue to exist in a different state. Our beliefs about death, life, and everything in between evolve when we have a deeply personal interaction with our loved ones that we instinctively recognize as profoundly accurate.


Connecting with our loved ones helps to soften our grief and inspires us to maintain our relationships with those who are no longer physically present. While we will still feel their absence, we can embrace the opportunity to relate to them in new and more expansive ways.


Going deeper with your soul sanctuary


Now that you have a clear vision of what your Soul Sanctuary looks and feels like, embrace the surprise and delight as your Sanctuary expands and evolves. You may notice that it stays the same for a while, or it may be that its elements are constantly changing. Allow everything to unfold naturally without trying to control it in any way.


The evolution of soul sanctuary over time


Once you are able to meet with your loved one(s), several things may happen within your meditative practice. You may start having conversations, and they may begin inviting you to journey with them, often showing you scenes of beauty and expansion. They may also share the reasons behind their life choices, helping you to develop compassion for their experiences. When we gain a different perspective, our understanding grows, and we more easily find grace.


It often becomes easier to find forgiveness and deep compassion for both your loved ones and yourself. Together, you explore ways in which you can currently love and support each other. As a result, you will discover more magic, joy, and fulfillment in your relationship.


Most individuals find that once they have opened the door to connection, they will begin to notice that their loved ones start to connect with them beyond Soul Sanctuary. They will impress us with memories, send signs, light our paths with synchronicities and find ways to love and support us constantly.


Continue with your practice


In my work with clients, I often find that they start to crave their time in Soul Sanctuary. After they connect with their loved ones, they typically become aware of other beings in their spiritual team who are available for connection. These can include angels, spirit guides, teachers, star beings, and more. This exciting exploration of going within to connect with all that exists becomes an essential part of their daily lives.


Celebrate your soul sanctuary


In your developing practice, there will be days that leave you feeling amazed, while others will bring a deep sense of peace. Some days will inspire you to continue learning, growing, and expanding your wisdom. Remember, each day will provide you with precisely what you need the most.


Conclusion


Deepening your Soul Sanctuary practice is a personal journey that evolves with time and intention. Each step you take towards this practice offers an opportunity for growth and healing. Embrace the journey and allow your Soul Sanctuary to become a place of transformation, connection, and peace in your life.
