A Focus 23 Retrieval

Ginny, I've got a question for you regarding your retrievals (and retrievals in general). Do you ever know the person you are retrieving? Or are they all from so far in the past, that it isn't possible for you to recognize them?

I mean, if someone you knew when you were a child died, is it possible that during one of your retrievals, you would encounter them? I would think that this scenario is 'not permitted' due to possible emotional links. But was curious what your thoughts on it were.

Thanks!

Novice,

Yes, I've known several from this physical life that I ended up assisting in the afterlife. A few were complete surprises to me (I was doing something else in the nonphysical and a Helper suddenly appeared, letting me know I could help with someone's situation), while others I made a point to visit to see how they were doing. And, it's usually not recognizing a face that let's me know who I'm with--a knowing comes to me, an instantaneous rote/feeling/knowing involving the person's personality, their thoughts, even some of their memories or mannerisms...all of which adds up as their 'unique signature', if you will. In almost all retrieving, Novice, I just choose to allow any Helper to come and take me to whomever needs help. But, we can all place the intent to visit with anyone. The only 'restriction' I've ever come across is a situation where the person may just not be available for me to visit with, cause they're busy and so on....or, any restrictions I myself still may carry around due to my own beliefs. A few visits with loved ones were on the emotional side, but oh so cool. It was either just have faith that they were still alive somewhere, or go and find out for myself. The former just never did it for me---:o).

Love,

Ginny

Thanks so much for the response Ginny. I was actually pretty surprised by the answer though.

I completely understand what you say regarding not necessarily recognizing the face, but knowing who it is. I get this most of the time in my dreams/astral travels.

As you've probably guessed, I have a personal reason for asking. I think I'll read your other posts regarding how you go about doing this and see if I can apply some of those techniques. There's one particular individual that I've been concerned about for a number of years. Hopefully within a few months I'll have a bit of success attempting this type of thing. If I do, I'll be sure to let you know.

Thanks again for your help in this area!

Novice,

From the impressions I get from your posts regarding the kind of human being you are...you will succeed. And I for one look forward to hearing about it--:o).

Love,

Ginny

Hi Ginny ! how are you doing ?

Are the helpers in your posts in someway "related" to the person that they are trying to rescue ?

best wishes

Hi Mark,

Hey I'm doing fine.
In some cases, yes, from what I've gathered some Helpers had known the stuck person when in the physical...and with others I don't think that was the case. They're just people who're not in the physical, who've chosen to hang around There and help out.

Take it easy and love,

Ginny

Hi everyone,

Once I got comfortable and took some deep, slow breaths, I remembered the feeling of being in a blissful state of relaxation and could then feel my physical surroundings just kind of melt away from my awareness. It wasn't long before the 3D blackness appeared all around and I just remained there for awhile, watching it, wondering.

I then began struggling with my attention wanting to focus back in on my physical life--stuff I'd be doing later in the day--and so after awhile, knowing I wanted to help in a retrieval wherever needed, I sent out a request for a Helper to appear, "cause I obviously needed help too", I joked (just finding it a little difficult to concentrate). Within a few seconds I felt the presence of someone nearby and a whitish, human looking shape was to my right. I felt a sense of warmth and knew the Helper was female. Her presence made me realize I was in a prone position--I had to look slightly down to see her. So I quickly moved down and stood close to her and immediately picked up on her hair...naturally curly brown waves parted in the middle and just touching her shoulders. She was wearing a dress belted at the waist and ending just below the knee. She seemed pleased to see me but she was also radiating a sense of wanting to get on with business. I felt her take my right hand and turn slightly, hinting it was time to go and help someone, so I didn't ask about her attire.

There was a brief sensation of movement and I watched the Helper then raise her right arm as she was looking straight ahead of us. I had the feeling she was rapidly communicating with me and I was missing most of it...but what I got was she had not been able to help someone that she cared very much about. I could feel her concern and desire to want to end whatever turmoil they were in.

And suddenly I was then seeing what appeared to be about a twenty foot ring of white, frantic energy, kind of like watching a circle of lightning bolts rapidly moving upward, intersecting with each other and disappearing about ten feet from its base. My first thought was we were in the BST but got a no from the Helper. As we moved closer I was fascinated and then taken slighty off guard as I realized there was someone standing inside the ring. I then understood that the frenzied energy ring--which I opened up a bit to feel--was a manifestation of the person inside. I had never seen anything like this before and although I wanted to study it more the Helper was communicating that we needed to enter the ring. Because I had felt a sense of wildness from the circle I hesitated, but I then knew it would be fine to pass through it, which we did.

We were then standing several feet away from an elderly woman. My mind of course started racing and I made it stop as the Helper didn't seem to respond to the possible explanations I was entertaining. The woman was in despair and extremely frightened. On the surface it seemed she had created a kind of hell for herself and as I was wondering why she was in Focus 23, in such an awful state of isolation, I think the Helper was finally able to break through my thinking...because I was then seeing fire all around us. We were surrounded by flames that felt as if they were moving inward. I asked if the woman had died in a fire and the Helper offered a slow nod--which told me I hadn't really been tuned into her well until now (lol).

Just as I began hurriedly wondering what to do, as if superimposed over that mental question, came not only the idea to appear to the elderly woman as a fire fighter, but I was instantly wearing a heaviness that said 'fire fighting gear' to me. I moved quickly to her and could see she had her hands on her face and she was terrified. I sensed a lot of roaring noise and so shouted to her, "Fire department! Fire department!" As her eyes moved to me I could feel her suddenly take in my presence, but she was paralyzed to the spot so I picked her up. I kept repeating we were there to get her out as she remained stiff, slumping a little over my shoulder.

Once out of the circle she sat down on something I couldn't see (the surrounding area was all blackness) and still seemed to be in shock but also relieved she had been rescued. The Helper then approached her--and I didn't have to offer introductions--the elderly woman could not only perceive her but knew her. They embraced and I backed away, sensing the elderly woman was crying about her home burning down.

A minute or two later the Helper then moved toward me as I watched more Helpers surround the elderly woman, and she answered my silent questions: she had been the woman's daughter at one time. Her mother, in that time frame (which I sensed was around the middle of the last century), had pushed her family out of her life to the point she ended up living alone in her old age, anxious and troubled about what such behavior would bring her once she died. I thanked her for including me in the retrieval and eventually moved away from the scene, glad as all get-out the older woman was finally out of that situation.

Well, thanks for reading and much love to all,

Ginny
