THANK YOU

All my dear friends

”downstairs and upstairs”

for your support and

for your encouragement.

Death is nothing at all…

It does not count.

I have only slipped away into the next room.

Nothing has happened.

Everything remains exactly as it was.

I am I, and you are you.

Whatever we were to each other

That we are still.

Call me by my old familiar name.

Speak of me in the easy way

Which you always used.

Put no difference into your tone.

Laugh as we always laughed

At the little jokes we enjoyed together.

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.

Life means all that it ever meant.

It is the same as it ever was.

There is absolute and unbroken continuity.

Why should I be out of mind

Because I am out of sight?

I am but waiting for you, for an interval,

Somewhere very near, just around the corner.

All is well!

One brief moment and

All will be as it was before.

How shall we laugh at the trouble of parting

When we meet again!

Henry Scott Holland 1847 – 1918

Foreword

In her physical life my friend Arja was a natural therapist who also worked as a trance medium, a trance healer and a spiritual helper.

”The energy never vanishes, it only changes its form of existence”, was her leading thought and also the logical explanation for all the phenomena of the invisible world. Her loving personality helped and comforted many of us and the helpers from other dimensions who worked through her, healed physical and spiritual ailments of hundreds of people in Finland and abroad.

I worked with her over 20 years and learned to know an exceptional soul, an unselfish helper and an everlasting friend. So our connection and the continuity of our teamwork after her passing was not a surprise after all.

Creating the connection was not easy at first, because time after time my mind kept questioning all my extrasensory experiences. Finally I just “gave in” when I learned to trust more in myself and the information which my senses received from the other reality.

The purpose of these stories crystallized by Arja’s words: “By telling about my experiences here in afterworld I will try to help people to understand better the great unity of life, the interrelated reality of the visible and the invisible worlds.”

Nothing has changed, has it?

Well, from your point of view maybe nothing much, but from here the connection does not work very well. If we are spending the evening together, I can always move my bag away from your chair but we cannot see or hear you. Except occasional cold shivers our channels seem to be blocked up – we cannot even have a hug… (Anna-Maija)

Stop for a while; stop to feel, to sense and to listen. The connection works if you tune your “receiver” to the right vibration frequency. Then the disturbances diminish and you can see and hear much better – maybe you should direct your “antennas” anew. (Arja)

I woke up in a dream…

I woke up in a dream by my friend’s sickbed. Beside it there was another, brand-new bed on which my friend was sitting smiling and glowing inside. I understood that she had gone home to the spirit world. (A-M)

I had been waiting for this moment. At last everything was ready and I got the permission to leave. I thought that I would just fall asleep during the night, but I was allowed to leave fully conscious in the bright morning light.

I really found myself sitting on a beautiful white bed and I felt healthy – even hungry. My breathing was easy and I was so happy. Only then I realized what had happened. No “life-movies”, no tunnel to the light, just an easy passing into another dimension.

Because of all the stories I had heard, I expected to see all my loved ones waiting on my arrival, but my bed had been moved into a shining, bright room. From the window I could see fruit gardens bathing in the sunshine spread as far as the eye could reach. In the room I only sensed two glowing figures and heard quiet tunes which were floating around me like colorful northern lights.

The helpers by my bed held my hands and were observing all the changes happening in my body. My skin looked pale or faded and my body was shining light from inside out. My whole being was pulsating and changing from nearly invisible into clearly visible, back and forth. This seemed to be important and for some reason they kept measuring and examining it very carefully.

I felt myself perfectly healthy and energetic and I said in my thoughts that I would like to meet my loved ones and friends. I understood that this was not allowed so soon after the passing but I hoped that my life work as a trance medium and -healer could accelerate my adjustment here.

I sensed a really strong energy at the end of my bed and saw a shining figure who took hold of my hand. My body was tested once again and now it changed from invisible to visible faster and faster. This felt and looked really interesting and funny, like in science-fiction movies. Finally they decided that I was a bit “different” and I got the permission to move on, to the “next stage”.

After a long time I could choose a nice outfit – and even my hairdo was perfect! Now at last was the time for reunion, the homecoming party full of love, heartwarming emotions and memories. To my surprise I even had a taste of salmon sandwich, the sauna and the lake! (A)

I woke up in tears…

I woke up in tears, feeling sad and regretful. Had I been a real friend? Did I lighten up your worries? Did I share your burden? Many things remained unsaid, undone. I did not know. I did not understand. Will I keep thinking like this from now on?

(A-M)

Do not worry. You cannot change the past. Be merciful to yourself. No-one is 110 per cent perfect – not even the angels. Concentrate on all the joyful memories, only they are worth remembering.

You are allowed to grieve. The sorrow does not have binding ropes. Let your tears moisten the soil of your memories until happy thoughts grow out of it. Then is the time to let go of the sorrow. We are here, only one thought away, ready to help and comfort whenever you need – just try to sense us.

The reunions here have been emotional fireworks. All the stormy memories of the past are fading and forgotten. When you understand the lessons of your experiences, you are able to forgive and ask forgiveness. All the disturbing thoughts disappear like foggy clouds that hid the sun. It is no use to create stormy clouds – though that is possible, too…

To try your best according to your soul plan is enough. As being yourself you are the best friend, partner, helper or teacher. Our paths cross many times during one life. We say hello and goodbye or we decide to share the same pathway till the end. Every meeting is important – even a very short incidence may change the whole life of another person. (A)

Sensing aromas…

I sensed the aromatic oils: patchuli, neroli, rose, geranium. I felt the warmth of the healing hands and peaceful music. The tingling energy of my friend and her spirit helpers was flowing into my body. (A-M)

I cannot find the words to describe the meeting with “my upstairs helpers”. At last I could meet them face to face and exchange experiences of our shared journey in the physical world. I must admire their patience – working with me was not easy and our partnership seems to go on…

So, according to my ”service contract” my training continues. The testing of the body flexibility was an important part of my preparation, because I will also in the future work and travel between the levels. Connecting the healing powers and different energies between the worlds will develop enormously in the future, and their effects will also multiply by scientific discoveries.

Connecting energies between levels requires healers and helpers also in the physical world. Their task is to strengthen and to direct the healing energies to the right area of the physical body. The power of this “chain” depends on its weakest loop, so we need many strong energy channels and even more in the future. The sincere intention to help other people will increase your sensitivity and balance, and give you the strength for healing and serving your neighbors.

It is very interesting to learn the energy healing on this side, to see how doctor Gerhard and his colleagues worked while I was their trance channel in the physical world. Only here it is possible to understand the meaning of colours, scents and tunes – the physical reality is only a faint shadow of all this. I wish I could make a video for you!

From this side we can really see all the energy lines and canals of the physical body, and the flowing energies like in a top level aura-video. At the moment I am studying to balance these colour lines, so that I one day could mend distortions and blockages of the energy flow. All this is incredibly interesting.

Oh, I almost forgot the music! Sounds, tunes, music – the music is connected to colours and scents. If only I had known the importance of the music as a strong support of the spiritual development, I would have continued my music playing and singing. I would have listened to more music and specially enjoyed live music. The musical vibrations balance the body, mind and soul by strengthening their connection. If you are active yourself, it is easier for us to help you to find music, healing colours and scents suitable for your situation. (A)
