Let them Go with Love and Blessings 

When we pause and check where we stand today in terms of our ability to face the ongoing pandemic, one fact stands out: We took the requisite external precautions to boost our physical immunity. But there was little or no inner preparation to strengthen our emotional and mental immunity. Fear and anxiety were labelled ‘normal’ responses to covid-19 outbreak, even when we were safe and healthy. But today, when we are having to cope with the sudden death of near and dear ones, far intense emotions like shock, agony and trauma are getting termed as natural.

Despite knowing that death is inevitable, losing someone to untimely deaths like we are seeing today - of a young child, spouse, parent, friend or colleague – is the most difficult scene to cross. Their roles and responsibilities remain incomplete. We are dependent on them. Missing them and wanting them back can often become persistent thoughts of the family left behind. How much or how long to grieve the loss can be tricky, but spirituality gives us wisdom which can help us take charge of our emotions. Let us explore them.

Each one of us is a soul and not a body. The soul is a point of energy which is eternal and indestructible. The body is a perishable costume we wear, to play our role in this world, coming into actions and interactions. Death is thus a junction where the soul sheds its bodily costume and takes on a new one, to play a new role through rebirth. Death is for the body, and not the soul. So our relationship with the departed soul continues to remain the same.

When someone leaves the body, we are told not speak ill about them. This is because when a soul leaves the body, its power to catch our thought vibrations will be at its highest. That soul is not attached to a new body and has entered the womb of a mother at its new family. It has no emotional attachment to its new body, new family or new home. In that silent state, the soul can catch all the thoughts and vibrations of the family it has left behind.

Consider this: Our thought energy is reaching that soul who is now a baby in in a mother's womb elsewhere. That soul cannot come back or speak, but is continuously receiving our messages “Why did you leave us? I miss you. Please come back.” Moreover, that soul is also in pain because of leaving everyone behind. A new, healthy body is getting created there in the womb. The state of that soul influences every cell of the body that is getting created. And wherever the soul goes, that family is happy to welcome a new addition. What vibration should we send?

We do remember and miss people who have moved on. Let us remember them with love, and not with pain or sadness. When we send pure energy, that soul will be healed. Its new body will be perfect. Its stay in the womb will be peaceful. However, sending peace and blessings is possible when we remember that the soul has gone forward. But if we say the ‘person has died’, we feel they are no more. So, we give ourselves the permission to create and radiate painful thoughts. Awareness that everyone is an eternal soul, changes everything.

These are affirmations that help us remain emotionally stable, in the event of death of a loved one. We can repeat them any number of times throughout the day, so that our mind stabilizes and vibration changes: “I am a wise being. I am an eternal soul, the master of this body. My body is a costume I wear to play my role on this journey. One day I will leave my body and move forward. Everyone around me is a co-traveller on the journey, playing their role. I understand they had to leave their costume and move forward to a new destiny. I am connected to the soul, the energy using that body. It is a soul-to-soul connection. My connection with them continues even when they leave their body. My vibrations of peace and love reach them. I take charge of my feelings. I remain calm. I remember them with love. I bless them for their onward journey. I empower them with my stability, to be happy and healthy wherever they are. I assure them that I will take charge of myself and of the family. Gratitude to them for being with us and filling us with love and care. I pray for their new beautiful destiny.”
