Have You Had A Metaphysical Experience

Have You Had A Metaphysical Experience?

Author: Lea Morgan

What is a metaphysical experience? Well, meta as a prefix means ‘situated behind or beyond’. So, if something is metaphysical, it is situated behind or beyond what we know of the physical world. Or, as I say in the latest podcast episode, outside of what we recognize of the 3D world we live in.

People who have no experience with any psychic ability can have a metaphysical experience. In fact, I’d say about 75% of my clients have had one. The connection from you to your deceased loved ones is so strong that your soul and their soul will usually find a way to communicate – even if only once.

A lot of these types of experiences go unshared. Unfortunately, our culture doesn’t leave a lot of room for the unexplainable. Almost everyone who feels safe enough to share their experience with me starts by saying, “This is going to sound crazy, but…” I guarantee you not much can sound crazy to a woman who speaks to the deceased for a living! When I point this out, they laugh and say, “Of course!” We are so conditioned to feel self-conscious about not sounding completely logical all the time that we don’t feel safe sharing our experiences without that sort of lead-in.

What is unusual is that people do feel safe to share that they were visited by a loved one in a dream. We subconsciously feel like we have some sort of permission structure for the unusual when we are unconscious. So, people tell each other when this happens. This can be both wonderful (in that people feel comforted by their deceased loved on and they can share it) and unnecessarily upsetting (to those who did not receive a visit.) I’ll explain.

People unknowingly assume that all deceased people have the ability to visit in a dream and that all living people have the ability to be visited in a dream. This is the first misunderstanding.

In my work, we call these “dream visitations”. What it really means is that while your body is sleeping, your loved one’s soul finds a way to get the attention of your soul and you have a meeting. It can be a stand-alone experience or happen in the middle of an actual dream – kind of like if I called you while you were sitting doing nothing or if I called you while you were watching a movie.

This ability to get your soul’s attention works much like a radio signal in that it requires a transmitter (your deceased loved one) and a receiver (you). Both of these have to be in working order for this to happen. Not all deceased souls are gifted in this arena and not all living souls are receptive to being interrupted while the body sleeps.

So, when one person has a dream visitation and shares it with family or friends who haven’t had one, for some reason the human mind of the people who didn’t have one translates that into something negative. Some examples being:

 

“They don’t love me as much.”

“Maybe they are mad at me. “

“Maybe they are not ok.”

I assure you none of these things are true.

I have had deceased people ask me to tell their loved ones they are working on it. So, that’s great news since it is something they can learn even if they can’t do it right now.

The second misunderstanding is that they will come at any time you request it or feel you need it.  Even if they can do it, I know they have their reasons for coming at certain times based on exactly what is happening in your life and with your level of grief. Much like a parent wouldn’t go back into a kindergarten classroom right after their crying child calms down, a deceased person won’t come in a dream to disturb you if you are in a moment of calm after their death. All of their reasoning is based on what is best for you.

I’ve also had clients wonder if what they experienced is a dream or an actual visitation. Here’s some information that can help with that.

A dream visitation will have several attributes that will distinguish it from a regular dream.

• Your loved one will always be well – both physically and mentally.
• Your loved one will always be giving you positive messages/advice.
• Your loved one will communicate with you telepathically.
• You will always remember it as if it just happened.
• Your memory of it will include remembering exactly how it felt.

And, if you never have one, know that your loved ones (including pets) are trying to communicate with you in other ways.

I’ve heard dog toenails clicking along the wooden floor after I lost my dog. I’ve felt my cat turn around in circles and lie next to me on the bed after I lost him. I know someone who heard their parent’s voice in an MRI machine when they were anxious. I know someone else who saw an image of their deceased loved one standing lovingly at the end of their bed. And, I’ve smelled a honey-baked ham all through my house (I’m a vegan!) after my grandmother died.

I would love it if all people who had any of these sorts of experiences felt safe enough to share them with at least one other person. Imagine how much relief, hope and joy would come if we all heard such amazing stories – if they weren’t just reserved for my ears like mine. I want you all to know the ways our loved ones stay in touch and feel as sure as I am about our love going on forever.
