A Time to Love, A Time to Mourn

by Dana Taylor

Several weeks ago, Spirit nudged me to create a meditation for people dealing with grief. At the time, I wondered if it was a portent for things to come. Of course, grief is part of the human experience. Loving deeply delivers greatest joy, but also greatest loss when a loved one dies. At this point in life, I am no stranger to grief. I’ve walked the path of the “Valley of the Shadow of Death,” as described in Psalm 23, most memorably when my mother died, and later, my husband. Both greatly loved, both greatly missed.

For me, grief is something to acknowledge and experience. It’s a time to slow down and allow feeling to bubble up and flow out, sometimes in tears, sometimes in closet cleaning or long, long walks. The relationship mourned is not really over, but transformed. With my mother, I ultimately came to feel how much of her lives on in me–my style, my voice pattern, my love for music and family, my ready smile. Gratitude replaced grief.

Grief for my husband took a different route, as it seems we maintain a relationship of sorts as he has simply gone from physical to non-physical. We aren’t in a day-to-day marriage any longer. No more, “what do you want to eat? What should we do tonight?” But rather, he is still around when I really need him, but most of the time now, we’re leading our post-marriage lives. Me, still on planet earth, he in another dimension. But when I am in a crisis, he makes his presence known, usually through music or the sudden appearance of coins.

Two weeks ago, grief came calling to my family as my older daughter, Sara lost her father-in-law, Gary. He’d gone into sudden decline, entered the hospital to hopefully get stronger, but instead, passed away. I’d been following the unfolding drama through long-distance communications with Sara. The afternoon Gary was breathing his last breaths, I found a shiny penny sitting on top of my car. How strange, I thought. How did that get there?

A couple hours later, I received the message that Gary had passed. Though not surprised, I still felt the reverberating shock wave of emotion of the family gathered around his bed. Gary had been a strong, much beloved center of his family. Greatly loved, now to be greatly missed.

When I returned to my car, a bright shiny dime sat in the passenger’s seat. The penny, the dime. Now I got it. My husband makes his presence known when I need him….Truly, love never dies.

The Relief from Grief Meditation is my humble offering for those dealing with the pangs of loss. Hopefully, those who listen will feel their spirits lifted and find their way ever so steadily to joy and appreciation for the love they have known.

The Relief from Grief Meditation is also available on my YouTube Channel and Healing Meditations page.

Healing Devices Offer New Hope

by Dana Taylor

In the past year I’ve had the opportunity to work with both AJ Parr and Anne Archer Butcher on various committees for Spiritual Awakenings International (SAI). They are both intelligent and highly professional people. They’ve earned my respect. So, when Anne and her husband, Alden Butcher, appeared on AJ’s “Spiritual Journalist” YouTube channel, I had to watch.
Over five years ago Alden developed a cluster of stage four cancerous tumors on his right parotid gland. The standard medical options were few, extreme and ultimately, hopeless. The doctor told Anne that her husband probably had less than two months to live, a diagnosis that would send many into hopeless despair. But Anne and Alden are not hopeless, helpless people. They had a foundation in holistic thinking and began doing what they knew would nourish and detox Alden through nutrition and supplements. But they also knew that would not be enough. They were open to new technologies and found their way to a doctor who used a healing device from Monicor USA, a company in the realm of what some call vibrational medicine.
Their description of the Monicor device reminded me of the Trinfinity8 technology invented by Kathy J. Fortni, that I found so intriguing. (See Trinfinity8: Healing’s Next Big Thing?) Likewise, it brought to mind Sandra Rose Michael’s Energy Enhancement System I enjoyed in Hawaii. (See The Scalar Energy Experience) In my very lay person understanding, these machines can evaluate and map the energetic health of the various organs and systems of the body. Then they can somehow target and adjust the frequencies that are malfunctioning in a series of treatments. As the organs or systems are “tuned up” the body initiate stages of healing. No drugs or surgery required.
And therein lies the rub, or course. Drugs and surgery are the foundation of our Western medical system, heavy emphasis on Big Pharma drugs. So, even as Anne and Alden happily shared their healing story to their amazed doctor, the physician regretfully admitted she could not share the information with other sick patients. “I would lose my license to practice medicine.”
Sigh. The paradigm switch from Newtonian to Einsteinian thinking is maddeningly slow. We are not machines. We are energetic beings. Vibrational medicine sits on the horizon, like a bobbing ship waiting for a tide to finally bring it to shore. The knowledge and technology continue to develop, even as Big Pharma keeps trying to push it back to sea. Still, I believe there will be a tipping point when the mass-consciousness rises and the vibrational medicine technologies will be embraced.
At any rate, I invite you to listen Anne and Alden share their story. Fortunately for them, they had been educating themselves on ancient and emerging wellness principles and put them into action. Finding their way to a cutting-edge vibrational medicine device gave Alden’s body the energy and frequencies it needed to heal. You or someone you know might benefit from this information. If you are interested in learning more about the Monicor devices you can visit their website at MONICOR USA.

Is He Meeting ETs or Angels?

A book review by Dana Taylor of UFO of God by Chris Bledsoe

Chris Bledsoe has called North Carolina home his whole life, a man deeply embedded in the culture, the land, the opportunities, and the challenges. On January 8, 2007, on a fishing outing with his teenage son and four friends, his life was forever changed by bright orbs appearing in the night sky. Though Chris thought he’d only watched the three bright orbs for twenty minutes before finding his friends, he’d gone missing for hours. That’s how it began.
Chris Bledsoe’s memoir, intriguingly titled, UFO of God, leaves more questions than answers as to what Chris and his family have experienced in the intervening years. Unlike other modern UFO experiencers that seem to relate visitors from other planets, Chris’ story is more reminiscent of Biblical characters like Moses (Chris has his own burning bush) and Job. Or the tales of Marian visitations like Bernadette at Lourdes or the children’s encounters with Our Lady of Fatima.
In fact, Chris seems to be a modern Job. A man who acquired considerable wealth in the building business, enjoyed a happy marriage with a houseful of healthy children only to see the good life disappear with economic downturn. Then illness through severe irritable bowel syndrome, followed by rheumatoid arthritis, impeded his ability provide for his family. Add to that intense ridicule and shunning after word got out of his otherworldly encounter, Chris Bledsoe’s life hardly seemed worth living.
By Easter of 2012, despite on-going visitations by the mysterious orbs and other phenomena, he tells the heavens he is done. He’s going to ignore all paranormal activity, never speak of it again, no matter how amazing something might be. It isn’t worth the abuse his children endure at school and in the community.
And that is when The Lady makes her first appearance. Awakened from sleep by the command, “Arise!” Chris is escorted to another realm to meet a beautiful lady of shining white light who tells him he must continue in the mission. She promises to help open the way. He has to tell the world of changes to come.
Within a couple of weeks, Chris is invited to speak at a Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) meeting. One thing leads to another, and soon Chris is networking with experts from NASA, the CIA, scientific researchers, top brass military and more. Beyond that, he is now able to capture footage of various orbs and phenomena on devices that had previously been elusive.
What becomes clear in UFO of God, despite a policy of discrediting UFO experiencers publicly, is that the US government has been deeply involved in studying encounters for decades. Men employed by the government who devoted their lives to the investigation of UFOs reach out to Chris, offering validation and insights from their overview of vast data collected since the 1940’s. They allow Chris to name them in the manuscript. Jim Semivan, Former CIA Clandestine Directorate of Operations and Col. John B. Alexander, Ph.D, Retired US Army, both wrote forwards for the book.
UFO of God is Chris Bledsoe’s spiritual memoir; it conveys much of his angst and wonder. In many ways, at the end it feels like the story may just be beginning. An investigative reporter may come along some day and write a book that answers more of the readers’ questions like – What happened during the missing hours of the first 2007 encounter? What all did The Lady say? What were the scientific findings from Chris’s brain scans? What have family members experienced? Who else is experiencing similar phenomena? Is there a big picture to these encounters? Indeed, UFO of God feels like the starting place for a much bigger story.
It’s impossible to read Chris’ memoir without feeling compassion for a man and his family who suffered through so many physical and emotional hardships as the supernatural took over their lives. I hope for Chris that he is granted the ending of Job with a restored family and fortune to happier days.
For me the most tantalizing takeaway from UFO of God comes from Chris’ second meeting with The Lady. From Chapter 16:

“When the red star of Regulus aligns just before dawn in the gaze of the Sphinx, a new knowledge shall come into the world.” I was not sure what that meant. I have come to understand that around Easter 2026 there will be the end of an old way and the beginning of a new.

Hmmm. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

The Over-Whelmed Woman Meditation

Sometimes life is just too much. You know what I mean? Lately, I’ve found myself sending healing energy and giving motherly advice to younger women stressed out by family, work, finances and beyond. It might be juggling the needs of children and spouse, or an elderly parent, or job stress, or looking for love in all the wrong places. Sometimes you just need a break.

This meditation is for you gals.

With Love–

Dana T

He Visits the Afterlife in His Sleep

a book review by Dana Taylor of How To Have A Good Life After You’re Dead

Dana Taylor
Mike Marable is a night traveler. While most us hope for a deep, restful trip to oblivion before the next day dawns, Mike is often off on an Out-of-Body adventure. His new release, How to Have a Good Life After You’re Dead: Explorations into the Afterlife; A Modern Book of the Dead, relates his experiences as a multidimensional traveler and offers keen insights on widening our paradigms about life and death.
As he points out, the pandemic brought the reality of death into heightened awareness for a society that had learned to take longevity for granted and consigned dying to hospitals and nursing homes, far away from daily life. Mike has been exploring Out-of-Body Experiences (OBE) since 1987. He’s come to understand that consciousness goes on beyond human body habitation. One of his life purposes is to be work with Retrievals, which helps souls lost or “stuck” in lower dimensions, aka the bardo in Buddhism, purgatory in Catholicism, or simply “limbo” in secular terms.
A large section of the book relates many of Mike’s Out-of-Body Experiences as he might have written them in a personal journey. They reveal a much more complex Afterlife than simply heaven or hell. Some spirits stay earth bound, while others reside for a while in other lower frequency dimensions, often in “Consensus Realities,” not so different from earthly societies. Mike’s astral body travels these lower realms as an explorer and also as a helper for the lost souls needing assistance going to the Light.
Other sections of the book offer insights into the value of having a “good death” for a soul to go directly to higher realms. He also declares reincarnation is as real as gravity on Planet Earth. It’s the way life works.
How to Have a Good Life After You’re Dead is a very interesting addition to the growing lexicon of books on other dimensions beyond the human 3-D reality. The phrase we are spirits having a human experience seems to be gaining more credibility all the time. Mike Marable shows us that death is merely a transition into another existence and that life goes on and on and on.
