Do Dead People Walk Their Dogs? by Concetta Bertoldi Read Free Book Online Page B

speak with. And it is overwhelmingly the case that kids eventually shift their focus exclusively to what we think of as the material world and then will lose their ability to have these kinds of contact. Personally, the stories my clients tell me about children talking with their deceased relatives are some of my most favorite.
    For one, there was a young woman who came to see me and told me that her mother had died a few years earlier and she was not ready to lose her mom. She was very sad and upset, just missing her so much. She had a daughter of her own who was just tiny when her mom passed. About two years later, she still hadn’t completely gotten over the loss of her mom. One day her little girl (who was about four or five years old then) said to her, “Don’t be sad! She’s right here! She’s going like this!” and the little girl puckered up her lips like she was about to give a big sloppy kiss to someone. Well, my client was completely taken aback. She told me that some years before, when her daughter was just an infant, her mother had told her about a dream she’d had. She’d said that she’d been dreaming about her new granddaughter and dreamed that she was kissing her. She woke up the next morning with her lips still in a pucker. She and her mom had laughed about that dream all the time while her mom was still living.
    Another story that I thought was really neat was from a woman whose mother’s brother (her uncle) was named Nick. Nick died when this woman was thirteen years old. Years later she’d married and had a little baby boy who she decided to name for her uncle. When her baby was around eighteen months old, she and her mother were visiting in her kitchen while baby Nick was upstairs in his crib. They could hear him on the baby monitor and were amused to hear him chattering away and laughing. Together they went upstairs to the nursery and little Nick was standing up in his crib. Joining in her son’s high enthusiasm, she came up to him and said excitedly, “Hi! Who are you talking to?” And her son pointed across the room and said, “Nick!”

How can we use whatever level of psychic ability we have for the greatest good?
     
    We all have a variety of psychic talents, which are all gifts from God. It’s up to the individual to nurture and cultivate their gifts by heart and spirit, not ego. They’ll manifest for the greatest good when the person who has the gifts submits to fellowship with God on some level and agrees to follow instructions from God to “deliver the goods.” More and more are doing this, consciously. The veil that separates us from the Other Side is a dense consciousness. By the choices we make and the actions we take and the skills we develop, humanity is getting closer to Heaven—it’s not Heaven getting closer to us.

What type of meditation do you practice?
     
    In 1977, when I was twenty-four, I took a course in TM—transcendental meditation. This was back when I was trying to reconnect with the Other Side. As a teen I hadn’t wanted anything to do with my ability; hearing from dead people was not something that every sixteen-year-old did, and I’d just wanted to be as normal as possible and fit in with my friends. But in my early twenties I was reconsidering, so this was one of the steps I took—learning how to quiet down and focus inward. For me, a very social, fun-loving type, it was very weird, but it really was good for me; it got me in touch with all I know about the Other Side. Basically, you can do meditation any way that floats your boat, whatever gets you to your happy place. Some might get there by saying a rosary or other prayers. You can put on low music, light candles, and sit back and think about all you love in your life. I like to take seven strong, deep breaths, all the while saying, “I’m turning it all over to you, God.” I think to myself, “This is how I’d like my life to be,” and then I mentally turn it over to God. It’s always
