In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” your host Sheryl Glick (http://sherylglick.com)
author of Life Is No Coincidence: The Life and Afterlife Connection
which shares her journey from skeptic to a believer in life and its
unending eternal possibilities known and understood by coincidences
synchronicity and miracles from messages from our loved ones in Spirit
who live and love beyond the physical life they only visited for a short
moment in earth time. As an intuitive healer/medium Sheryl is delighted
to share Annie Mattingley’s book The After Death Chronicles as she
shares her communication with her daughter Randi and many other stories
by contributors to the book who have been blessed to experience what is
hard to put into words, a visit from a departed relative. Yet for those
who have been touched by the spirit of a loved one the feeling and
closeness and truth will never be lost as life is never lost only
transmuted into another essence of life.
As listeners of “Healing From Within” well know it has been the mission
statement of this show to show that life is both a physical and
energetic spiritual duality. Sheryl and her guests share intimate
experiences as they search the mysteries of life and what some believe
to be death, in the hopes of truly knowing that we are more than the
physical body and have an internal eternal unseen force of life which
some call the Soul. It is in becoming aware of this part of ourselves
that makes it easier to live with the challenges a physical life often
presents and to ultimately begin to know our true “higher self” that is
sharing this physical life with us.
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Annie Mattingley (https://anniemattingley.com) begins the
book with a chapter entitled Randi Is that You? And with the quote for
that chapter shares a beautiful look at what may be seen throughout the
many stories shared in additional chapters by those who experience an
After Death Connection which adds a new layer or awareness a dimension
of reality that previously may have been unexpected or unexplored, but
cannot be denied any longer.
The quote reads.. They just knew something that is from time to time
forgotten except by the wind. How close the dead are. One song away from
the living. (Louise Erdrich The Master Butcher’s singing Club)
Annie, shares an early recollection when she was twelve years old and
visiting a friend’s house. She saw a picture on the wall of what
appeared to be an interpretation of God and hell with fire and brimstone
as described by ancient writers such as Dante who depicted God as a
fearsome force of perhaps anger and vengeance. Annie knew in that moment
that was not the God she knew and loved. Her God was kind gentle and
forgiving of any indiscretion or human frailty—Just a God of Love.
Annie’s subject is about spontaneous communication with our dead
beloveds and she shares how she got interested in this subject and why
she write a whole book about it.
Annie wrote, “The cusps of things, the ineffability of consciousness of
conception and birth and of death and the process of dying, the mystical
realms, have long been the heart center of my life. I attend to my
dreams. I have sat with the dying. I am captivated by the enigma of
death. I have studied and meditated on and prayed and done shamanic
journeying over, avidly read about and discussed the great mysteries of
my life. How is it that I never before attended to the possibility of
direct contact with our dead beloveds now seems a mystery in itself…Soon
the idea that the dead can speak became my daily reality. In the early
morning hours of almost every day for many months, my formerly troubled,
depressed, and pain-wracked daughter came to talk with me.”
Sheryl shares with Annie that like her in her earlier life there were
confusing feelings or understanding of God and a possible afterlife.
