“Sensing a connection with the afterlife doesn’t always mean you can easily ‘hear’ them, or understand the messages, especially if it’s close family – you know too much already.

You need to find a way to verify things are happening, and the ‘messages’ are not just in your mind.”

I had the same problem with my own mother, and close family,  and it’s how I developed my simple technique. Firstly, if you sense him around, then he’s there. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I know it’s true, and I’m sure from your question you think likewise.

I assume you’re past the stage of believing in being able to contact the afterlife so I’ll go to knowing the difference between your own words and thoughts, and those of someone who’s ‘talking’ to you from ‘the other side’. The first step, even if you’re aware of a connection, is to relax. Like a very deep meditation.

On my web site on contacting the afterlife, I share many ideas to help, most of it free, including instructions, a YouTube video, and a list of books and guides to help. But the starting point is relaxing. I find it hard to get detail if I am busy, rushed, or thinking about too many things. So the first step is to be very relaxed, to the point of not being aware of anything else around you. Whilst I suggest my own audio guide “Contact Family in the Afterlife yourself”, any meditation will do.

From my own personal perspective, I find it hard to get clear information or feelings if I am too much in the “now” – so the absolute important step is to relax. Especially if you ‘feel’ people around – it’s often much easier to know when others are around rather than those who you know well. Relaxing helps you ‘zone out’.

The next problem of getting clear information or feelings is to separate your thoughts from those you are receiving outside of you. But I find if you’re relaxed, not trying to get any specific thoughts, and accept whatever comes through, it’s much easier. You may not get what you want for now, but you’ll get things, and it gets easier to recognize.

Lastly, you want to confirm whatdidn’t just image the connection, and my personal suggestion is to ask for something you don’t know, or something you’re forgotten. Something you don’t know can be any random thing. In my wife’s case, the final ‘proof’ she needed to verify I was sharing messages from her father was an image I saw of a round cylinder containing a bunch of pens and pencils, being knocked to the ground. I had not seen her office, did not know she had pens and pencils in a container like that (she doesn’t at home), and she had in fact knocked it off the desk that day.

I wrote a book a couple of years back called “Soul Matters – the Voice Within”, and in it I talk about my Nanna coming through (who I only knew vaguely from around the age of 7, when she passed away) showing me an image of ‘scones’. I had no idea what this meant, until I heard her soft voice say “don’t you remember the scones?’ – then it came back to me. I had begged my mum to make scones like my nanna (who’s British, and they make scones completely different from Aussies!). I had totally forgotten that.

So ask those two questions, and trust whatever is brought through will make sense, and verify your connection. I know in your case it’s not so much you need to know HOW to connect, but rather how to clarify what you’re getting. Although the steps I’ve listed do both, in your case, concentrate on those little differences between just ‘feeling he’s near’ and ‘asking for verification’.

I hope this works for you. Tell me how you get on.(philg.net.au). I’m sure you’ll get the clarity and proof you need.
