The veil is thinning and the energy is palpable.
I never knew what the thinning of the veil meant until recent years because again, my family wasn’t big on talking about death let alone the belief that we can feel loved ones near once their gone, much less spirits.
I don’t know if I ever felt more aware of spirit energy during this time of the year but it’s certainly something that I have felt as long as I can remember and I believe most people have they just aren’t fully aware of it.
But where’s the line between what we parents would call “imaginary friends” and a child who can speak to spirits without fear? When my abuelita saw me talking to my “imaginary friends” her response was immediately to tell my mom and with time I learned that was not something I was supposed to be doing.
Its interesting to me now that as my work develops and my connection with my own spirit grows stronger, seeing, feeling and speaking with spirits has become a common occurrence once again. This time without anyone to be afraid of such a thing.
As a parent, I’ve had to use discernment in how I approach these conversations because my children have expressed that they can feel energy they aren’t sure about.
I have to wonder, if our own parents had validated what we were experiencing instead of passing it off as fear of the dark or our mind playing tricks on us, would we be better able to understand the worlds that we may not always see but can certainly feel?
If we know that our ancestors from long ago had a direct connection to spirit, where did the disconnect and fear come from?
How did we get into a space where communication with the spirit world was reserved for only a few and not recogized as something that we all can feel and tap into?
