The “Soul Mist”
I’ve heard about a lot of things when people transition from this life (i.e. vivid dreams of their loved ones, cold sensations embracing their bodies and more) but I had never heard of the Soul Mist until this past Sunday when my beloved cousin Joel made his transition. My sister and brother performed CPR on my cousin Joel while waiting for the EMS to arrive. They performed CPR for about 12 minutes and once EMS was there, they took over and continued to work on him for another hour. Unfortunately EMS was unable to resuscitate him. Later I spoke with my sister on the phone and she said “Cynthia I’m not sure what I saw, but while performing CPR on Joel I remember seeing a white puff of air come from his mouth. It didn’t look like smoke, but more like a vapor”. She then said that she asked my brother if he saw it too, he agreed. They stayed up that night on the phone until about 5am reliving the whole situation. I also stayed up researching what this could have been. I reached out to my brother the following morning with an email where I included some information on “Soul Mist”. His email response to me was ” I wasn’t going to say anything because I didn’t want (my sister) to think I was going out my mind but I’m thankful she saw it”.
The “Soul Mist” from what I researched is:
” In her journal, Louisa May Alcott, (below) the author of Little Women, wrote of being present at a deathbed and watching “a light mist” rise from the body, float up and vanish in the air. Her mother saw the same thing and the attending physician told them that it was “the life” departing visibly.”
I also read this:
“that soul mist might be discharged quickly by some dying people – those better prepared to leave their bodies—and be very slowly discharged by most people, so slow that it isn’t noticeable”
This is all so new to me but yet comforting as well. So I walk away somehow knowing For Sure that my cousin Joel is still with us, just in a different form. Thank you Joel for continuing to keep us informed. Bless You!
You are the Most Important Thing in Your Life
It’s been 3 months since my last post. All I can say is that “life happens”, but what I realize is that “we make time for “things” that are important to us”!
Yes some of us must work; drive children to and from events; cook and clean; take care of aging parents; and the list goes on and on. But when it’s all said and done, have you honored that “thing” tugging deep inside your soul? That “thing” longing to be heard, seen or felt? Make time for the most important “THING” in your life, YOU!
Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder… But Inner Beauty is Undeniable
A friend wanted my thoughts on why at 5:30 am after a grueling workout someone would call her beautiful.
Well my friend it is true that we all have our ideas of what physical beauty is to us, but when you accept yourself with all of your perceived flaws (in the eyes of the “True Beholder” we have no flaws) your inner beauty can’t help but shine through.
It takes courage and commitment to:
- change the uncomplimentary dialogue placed in your head by others (i.e. family, friend, media) – THEIR OPINIONS OF YOU IS NONE OF YOUR SPIRITUAL BUSINESS
- change any/all negative ways you speak about yourself to others (i.e. I’m just too ____ for that!) – WORDS DO HAVE POWER
- change the way you think negatively about yourself (i.e. throughout the day and before you retire) – THOUGHTS DO BECOME THINGS
When you conquer the above, you can’t help but walk differently, talk differently, stand differently, smile differently and “LOOK” differently.
So when asked “Where does your Beauty lie?” You can give the long in-depth answer, or you can simply say “I Woke Up Like This”.
You Grow the Most When you Go Through the Most
It’s so easy to be Spiritually Evolved and Centered when life is predictable and easy. But when:
- The unexpected Shows Up and Shows Out
- All of your Proactive Plans fall through the cracks
- You no longer recognize the Person in the Mirror
Now you have an Opportunity to see what you are really made of. Lip-service can’t pull you through these moments, action is required! Yes, it’s okay to feel angry about unpleasant or spiteful acts directed towards you, but the KEY is to know when to let it GO! Now you’re exercising those Spiritual Muscles. Now you’re getting Stronger, now you’re becoming Spiritually Evolved and Centered.
A New Day Always Bring A New Perspective
The saying “sleep on it and things will be better in the morning”, well maybe not “better” but definitely different. It’s when you surrender your mind and body to the universal flow that things no longer seem impossible to understand and resolve. When sleeping you’re no longer struggling to figure out or control a situation. My suggestion is to “sleep on it” when you need a new perspective.
Clarity and Humility Rejuvenated
Going home to visit my parents always give me clarity and humility. I’m very clear that what I have they also have, because as a child what they had I also had. They provided and cared for me without expectations. And so now I provide and care for them without expectations. And as I do for them, their gratitude is abundant which makes we wonder how many times, as a child, was I grateful. I’m humbled to be in their presence and honored that I can reciprocate just a fraction of what they did for me.
A Reminder Text To My Child
When God created U, he knew exactly what he was doing. He gave U strength when U felt U were weak; he gave U beauty in the face of ugly situations; and he gave U wisdom in the midst of foolishness. Oh how special U are!
Gratitude to All Mothers
A few days before Mother’s Day I was speaking to a young lady who had nothing positive to say about her mother. No communication; not feeling loved; and no good memories of her mom; she felt justified in her feelings. After she finished speaking I simply suggested that Gratitude towards her mother for being the Vehicle through which she gained entrance into this world seem appropriate to me. No fanfare or flowers needed, just Gratitude.
To Believe When Believing Seems Futile is Pure Faith
As we live we learn to not expect the unexpected and to be thankful for what we have. However, little emphasis is placed on believing beyond a shadow of doubt that “All Things Are Possible”. It’s easy to believe in something we can see or touch, but to walk by faith and not by sight takes Courage. Courage is to trust that inner feeling and move forward even when everything outside ourselves say differently.
