Life After Death - A Journey Into Mediumship
The inspiring and wonderful Annette Rodgers joins us for our 23rd podcast episode, sharing her very tragic story - but one that leads her into a greater depth of understanding - about life after death. She soon got thrown into a completely different world, one that saw her training to be a medium and going on to train many mediums herself. Here are some of the key discussion points:
LIFE AFTER DEATH - A JOURNEY INTO MEDIUMSHIP
Following the tragic death of her daughter aged just 16 years old at the time, Annette found herself at a Spiritualist Church where she took great comfort in the knowing that her daughter may not be with her physically but certainly was in spirit. It was the start of Annette’s spiritual awakening journey.
After her experiences Annette firmly believes that there is life after death, it’s just not obvious to us here in our 3D physical lives. Annette found herself attending the spiritualist church sitting in circles for 2 years until she finally got a message from her daughter Lauren. The message she got from the medium was so spot on, that she knew she was communicating with her. This was the evidence she’d been searching for and was very grateful to the medium who delivered that first message.
Throughout Annette’s journey she has been challenged many times and felt restricted about the ‘right and wrong’ way to work as a medium. Annette talks about the importance of knowing and understanding consciousness in her line of work. It’s the idea that it doesn’t die with our bodies, it lives on and is far more expansive than we can ever imagine.
It’s possible that our current incarnate consciousness is existing simultaneously to our other incarnate lives (past, present and future) as well as on other dimensional levels. So when Annette connects to people’s loved ones, she experiences it as a connection to their consciousness. When they step forwards they are giving an image of who they were in that lifetime - otherwise you might be saying ‘oh your father is a lovely ball of energy!” Annette connects through her 3rd eye, so is working with the mental imagery of whoever has come through with a message.
Annette talks about the rapid ascension process we are currently going through and that part of it is about remembering who we are and where we came from. This of course brings up topics like past lives and reincarnation. It also brings into question our idea of time, which Annette believes is an illusion. We are having a linear experience of time whilst we are here on Earth but time isn’t linear. When we pass over, it’s not experienced in the same way.
Annette believes that we become our true essence - our true light, when our physical body goes. When we connect to our loved ones in the spirit world, it’s so important to work from the heart and work with the best intentions. At the end of the day - it’s all about love.
So one of the questions that came up was - who are we? A big question right! Well, we are brought into the world by our parents, given a name, go to school, then go to work etc - who are you?!? If you look beyond the name, age, job description etc, what are you left with? It’s an interesting notion and a calling for a deeper self-inquiry.
At the end of this insightful podcast episode, Annette offers a beautiful affirmation for us all - “I am the most amazing, beautiful, powerful human being with so much love and consciousness and understanding.”
