How to Communicate with Deceased Loved Ones A Comprehensive Guide from a Medium

Picture created from the author & Midjourney

In our lives, there are moments of longing—longing for one more conversation, one more laugh, one more shared silence with those we've lost. This longing became a path of discovery for me, a path that led me to a profound spiritual awakening and, ultimately, to my work as a medium and the founder of United Female Gifts.

There was a time when I was filled with anger and frustration after losing my mother. As a single child of a single mother, our bond was deep and the void left by her passing seemed insurmountable. But it was during my spiritual awakening, in the midst of a meditation session, that I reconnected with her. Suddenly, she was there—present, warm, and just as I remembered her. It wasn't the result of a targeted search, but rather a beautiful byproduct of my journey into the spiritual realm.

Today, I understand that communicating with the departed isn't a concept cooked up by Hollywood or confined to pages of fantasy novels. It's a practice deeply rooted in many cultures and religions across the globe, and there's even scientific research that supports the possibility of after-death communication. For those interested in understanding how spiritual traditions can serve as a form of bereavement therapy, this article from Scientific American explores one of the most poetic practices ever documented.

Embarking on this journey can be overwhelming and, at times, even daunting. And that's perfectly okay. Whether you're a novice or have attempted this before without success, it's crucial to remember that it's a process. It might not click immediately, and that's normal. There's no rush. The most important thing is to remain open to the experience.

In this guide, I'll share the methods that have proven most effective in my practice as a medium and in my work with United Female Gifts. I'll shed light on how personal beliefs and expectations come into play, and why each method has its unique strengths. These are not just methods I recommend—they are the very techniques I use myself to help others reconnect with their departed loved ones.

So, are you ready to begin this journey? Let's get started.

Methods to Connect with Departed Loved Ones:

Navigating the journey of grief and longing is not easy, and I want to make it clear that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to this. What works for one person might not work for another, and that's perfectly okay. Here, I will share some of the methods that have worked for me and countless others. Remember, the key is to approach this with an open heart and mind.

1. Meditation

Meditation is a powerful tool for connecting with your inner self and the spiritual realm. It's about quieting the noise of the external world and tuning into your inner world. It's in this silence that you can feel the presence of your departed loved ones. 
Remember, this is a practice. You might not feel a connection in your first few attempts, but don't be discouraged. Keep at it, and over time, you'll start to notice subtle signs and feelings of their presence.

2. Looking for Signs:

Our departed loved ones often communicate with us through signs. These can be anything from a familiar scent, a song on the radio, a butterfly fluttering by, or even a dream. The key here is to be open and attentive to these signs. They might seem random at first, but when you start to notice a pattern or a sign that holds personal significance to you and your loved one, you'll know it's them reaching out.

3. Speaking Aloud:

This might feel a little strange at first, but speaking aloud to your departed loved one can be a cathartic experience. You can share your day with them, express your feelings, or simply say hello. It's a simple act, but it can create a sense of closeness and connection.

4. Creating a Spiritual Space:

Creating a dedicated space for your loved one can provide a physical focus for your connection with them. This could be a small corner of your room with their picture, a candle, and perhaps a few of their favorite things. Spend time in this space when you wish to feel their presence. It's a small act that can make a big difference in your journey of connecting with them.

Remember, this journey of connecting with your departed loved ones is deeply personal. It's about finding what resonates with you and honoring your unique journey of grief and healing. As a medium and fellow traveler on this path, I'm here with you, every step of the way.

Practical Tips and Guidance for Each Method:

1. Meditation:

Meditation can feel a bit daunting if you're new to it. But don't worry, dear sister, it's simpler than you might think. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Start Small: Begin with just a few minutes of quiet, focused breathing each day, and gradually increase your meditation time as you become more comfortable.

Consistency is Key: Like any other skill, meditation improves with practice. Aim for consistency over length. 

Be Patient with Yourself: Don't worry if your mind wanders or if you don't feel a connection right away. Be gentle with yourself and celebrate your efforts.

2. Looking for Signs:

Here's how you can become more attuned to the signs from your departed loved ones:

Expect the Unexpected: Signs can come in many forms, so keep an open mind and heart.

Keep a Journal: Write down any potential signs you notice. Over time, you may start to see patterns or recurring themes.

Trust Your Intuition: If something feels like a sign, it probably is. Trust your feelings and intuitions.

3. Speaking Aloud:

If you're not sure what to say to your departed loved one, here are some ideas:

Share Your Day: Talk about the things you did, saw, or thought about during the day.

Express Your Feelings: Tell them how much you miss them, love them, or any other feelings that come up.

Say What You Couldn't: If there were things left unsaid when they were alive, now is the time to say them.

4. Creating a Spiritual Space:

Here's how you can create a meaningful spiritual space for your departed loved one:

Choose Items that Resonate: Include photos, keepsakes, or anything else that reminds you of your loved one.

Keep it Comfortable: This should be a space where you feel calm and at ease. Add cushions, candles, or anything else that makes it more comforting for you.

Make it a Habit: Spend time in this space regularly. It could be just a few minutes each day, but make it a part of your routine.

Always remember, this journey of connecting with your departed loved ones is deeply personal. These tips are merely guiding lights—feel free to follow your own path and adapt them to resonate with your own unique experiences and emotions. You're doing incredibly well, and remember, you're not alone in this journey.

 Encouragement and Reassurance for the Journey:

    Let's get real! You might be feeling a mix of emotions right now. Excitement, curiosity, a little bit of nervousness, and hey, maybe even a sprinkle of doubt. And you know what? That's perfectly okay. In fact, it's more than okay - it's normal. Venturing into the realm of the spiritual, reaching out to the unseen, can be a little daunting. But remember, dear sister, that uncertainty doesn't mean impossibility. It's just the feeling of standing at the edge of the known about to step into the mystery of the unknown.
  This mystery, the human interaction with the divine and the deceased, is a topic that has garnered attention from psychologists.

You can explore more about this in an insightful article here.

When you start this journey, it's okay to feel unsure. It's okay to question. It's okay to want proof. Heck, I've been doing this for years. But guess what? That doubt doesn't make the connection any less real or the experience any less profound.

We understand that you might feel like you're not "spiritual enough" or "intuitive enough" to do this. But here's the truth: There's no 'enough'. You are exactly where you need to be. Your journey is yours alone, and every step you take is a victory.

So take that step, sister. Reach out. Connect. With. Your. Beloved. Person. The universe is listening, and so are your loved ones.

And you know what? Even on those days when it feels like you're not connecting, or when you doubt whether this is possible, remember this: Just by trying, just by being open to the possibility, you're already making a connection. You're honoring your loved ones, and you're honoring yourself.

So here's to you, dear sister. Here's to your journey. Here's to your bravery. Here's to your loved ones. And here's to the connection that transcends the boundaries of the physical world.

Remember, sister, it's not about 'success' or 'failure'.
It's about connection. It's about love.
And love, dear sister, knows no boundaries.
