Finding Loved Ones on the Astral Plane

[Yohan]

Sorry if this has been asked already. I couldn't find the thread.

My bf died almost 5 months ago. In the last couple of months I've been able to project only like 5 or 6 times.

I look for my bf but I can't seem to find him. I've tried calling his name both verbally and non-verbally. I think a lot of times I may lose awareness a little because I end up talking to "people" who say they've seen him. I'm not sure if I'm just experiencing dream like scenarios. I feel like I'm going on a wild goose chase each time because I go from place to place.

Has anybody found a dead one love when Astral Traveling? How did you find them?

Thanks!

I have found loved ones more than once, or should I say they found me. I think you have to be in the right state to be receptive to them. And also I think there must be a real need. I always ask for my guide(s) to show up and they do, but only when I really need them. If it was up to me, I would have them all the time because they make me feel so good.  . But I could really get attached to them and that's not the idea there. My Astral encounters with loved ones may have been my projections of them or them directly or maybe a combination of the two.

It's o.k. to want to meet them, I just think if you want it too much you may end up just producing them yourself. Would recommend you make your request known, but then let go of it and be patient, it may happen when you least expect it.

I didn't go looking for mine, but they came to me. My first was my brother-in-law and he ended up being my mentor for a couple of months. Actually he was the one responsible for "showing me the ropes".

I believe that when you are ready to see them, they will be there for you. Sometimes when you are freshly mourning them, you think you are ready. But they know better! It's for your own good though.

He knows your intent already. He is just waiting until you can handle it. Your wound is still fresh and oh so deep!

Before you project, you might try imagining him in your mind and heart.  See his eyes and smile, feel his essence--what makes him uniquely him.  It could work quickly or could take awhile.  When my cat passed, I saw and visited with her 4 or 5 times fairly quickly when she was on my mind and heart.  With my Dad, it took longer, and when I saw him I hadn't actually been thinking about him in quite a while.  I was snatched out of a random dream, became fully lucid, and was brought to my Dad for an emotional reunion.  Good luck!  It may happen when you least expect it.

This is a tough one, but I guess I'll chime in.

I've been projecting for 40 years and really never felt ready to try and reach a passed-over loved one. Some things I'm ready for and others I know I'm not;I generally recognise and am ok with that. I just didn't feel up to it at an intrinsic level.

My dad shot himself in 2010; I was fifteen minutes from picking him up, to take him for a medical checkup. He was 80 and deserved to go any way he chose to go, and he chose his own exit. But it crushed me.

Three months later, At the time, I was working (frustratingly) on recognizing portals when they might present themselves in the RTZ or the Astral and I had an event one night where I realized I was standing before a mirror.

And I simply said, I guess instinctively, "I want to see my dad." and dove into the mirror.

It was foggy, maybe because of my focus level, my mood or attitude, my first time there, I just don't know... But I saw my dad for maybe ten seconds, a young Indian man observing the proceedings from the side, (maybe my guide for the moment) my dad was in an environment he would have designed for himself, an office or workspace with fireplace, tv, desks, faxes, phones and such and an old hound dog lounging by the fireplace. I asked, " How are you doing, dad?" and he said just fine...and that was it, I faded out.

You don't have to be astral projecting to see a loved one, look out for your loved ones in dreams and trust your gut. when you get that feeling that your loved one is around, they are. trust that. don't second guess your intuition.

Had something similar happen this morning. My dad passed away about 6 months ago at age 87. He had a long and enjoyable life, but of course I miss him especially as it's coming up on his first birthday since he passed. I've been trying on and off to meet him in the NPR when I project. I really agree with the idea of using portals for this. I did that this morning. For the second time, I found and used my dad's house as a portal. When I got there, I walked through the house into the different rooms calling out to my dad, "Hey dad, I'm in your house. Are you here?" Opened his refrigerator and looked in, checked the time on one of the clocks. 3:30. Just like the first time I did it, he came out from somewhere in the house. The situation was starting to get fuzzy and stability wasn't that great so I felt like I had to get as much information as I could quickly. I wanted to see him and talk of course, but more importantly, I wanted to find out from him if he knew why it's been difficult to connect with him. Maybe I could do things differently. The first thing I asked was "Why did it work this time?" He said "It's because you've been pushing and pushing." Then I said, "But why is it so difficult to do? Am I doing something wrong?" He didn't answer. Then I said, "Is it you?" He just looked at me and exactly like my dad would have done said "Are you kidding?"
I felt really bad about suggesting that and spent the last few seconds apologizing to him.

Of course, I can't know for sure whether that was really him or just my projection. Could have been some of both. I am encouraged to keep trying and will hopefully see him again.

You are probably right. I've asked for my spirit guides as well and they haven't shown up. I would love for them to show me the way. I will work on being more patient.

Wow. It NEVER occurred to me that he might not think I'm ready. Never would have thought of that. It is still really fresh. We have been inseparable since high school. Thanks that seems accurate.

Wow that's really cool! Thanks I will try this!

Wow so sorry about that. That is heartbreaking. At least you got to see that he was ok, even for a short while. Thanks for sharing. I've tried to create a portal as well. Mine was a door with my bf's name on it. It just hasn't worked yet. But I will try again though.

You don't have to be astral projecting to see a loved one, look out for your loved ones in dreams and trust your gut. when you get that feeling that your loved one is around, they are. trust that. don't second guess your intuition.

Thanks I will! I've had lots of dreams about my bf but I was never lucid. I think you are right that when it is him in my dream I will know.

I really agree with the idea of using portals for this. I did that this morning. For the second time, I found and used my dad's house as a portal.

Oh that's a good idea. I'm going to try to use our old apartment which he loved as a portal. Thanks for sharing and keep trying!

Really really thank you guys for responding. I really appreciate you guys giving suggestions and sharing your experiences.

Thanks!

time works differently for them, so they could have just died and it will seem like a second ago for them while it's half a year here.

[CFTraveler]

I have, but not immediately.  It took my dad about a year before I had any 'verifiably real' communication with him.  Then nothing for three years, and then it's been on and off.  I saw my grandmother slightly before (she was in a coma) and right after her passing- and then nothing for two years.  With my mom also slightly before and right after, and then nothing for at least three years.
With my grandma I had the opportunity to witness a process, but I actually didn't get to interact with her for months afterwards, and then only to do 'a retrieval'.
I find the contacting someone tricky at best- timing is everything.

Wow this guy is so condescending. I would have smacked the hell out of him in person lmao! But thanks so much for this link! This is EXACTLY what I'm going thru. I really like the information he is giving. This is something I need to hear as well because I haven't considered the time aspect. A month after my bf died a medium friend of mine connected to him. She said there were so many spirits trying to block her from communicating with him to protect him I guess. Maybe it was too soon. I did end up talking to him tho. One spirit told her not to talk to me before our reading. This is probably why. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing! It does seem to be tricky the more experiences I hear of. So did you do a retrieval with your grandma? Do tell if you feel like it.

Thanks!

I love this idea.   I got it from someone a while ago on another forum.    It is a great idea.    When you are in the astral you put love in your heart.   You say I want to see that person.    It works.   I treasure that idea.

This is excellent. I will try this. It's so simple it seems like something I should have thought of already. I'm starting to realize how powerful the energy of love can be. Thanks!

I did Yohan.  She was consumed by the sense of guilt she felt about some of the things that had happened in her life.  I experienced it as herself "locking herself in a place she couldn't get out of."  I was able to talk to her, and explain things differently to her, from the point of view of someone (one of many) who loved her deeply, and the good things she taught me.  Then I explained the nature of how (how I saw) God and the afterlife, the nature of what she was going through, and her ability to see differently and step away from where she was, so she could get help and input that wasn't created by her own guilt.  It took a long time (for me) but she was able to get out of there.  To verify that it really had taken, I had another experience (on another night) in which she told me something of significance, something I was able to verify about a year later- showing me that this was a 'real' experience and not entirely self created.

Wow this is amazing. Thanks for sharing! I'm getting a better understanding of how connecting with spirits works and things that they experience.
