Meeting deceased friends/family

[tr0798]

I was just curious if anyone has done this, and if so, how exactly would you accomplish this? Would you just hold the thought of the person in your mind when you're out of body?

I met my deceased grandmother last Halloween. Here's the experience from my journal:

Last night I had decided to spend quite a bit of time raising my energy and meditating in order to try and contact some of those spirits that like to come around here this time of the year.

After about an hour of energy raising and charging my chakras I felt a weird presence in my room. I asked who it was and she told me she was my Grandmother that passed away three years ago. She wanted me to give my mother a message, that she was sorry for not being able to say good bye to her properly due to her lung cancer. And that she was helping my mother to quite smoking so that what happened to her wouldn't happen to my mother. After that she helped me to remember all of the times I visited her. Christmas, playing baseball and basketball in the summer. Memories that I had forgotten instantly filled my mind and I could see them clear as day.

After this experience one of my old friends appeared in my room, we would always go trick or treating together when we were younger. I haven't talked to him for a couple of years but I always seem to have dreams with him in them. As we started talking he was confused why he was in energy form and he thought that he was dead. I told him that it was 2:30 in the morning and that he was dreaming. He laughed and we talked about old friends and work. Overall a very interesting experience.

I have had this happen a few times, but this is the most memorable for me.  It was not something I sought out- It just happened when my old friend interrupted a dream I had been having. I had been impacted greatly by her death. After this experience, it has become easier.  Excerpt follows, and the rest is at the link.

"After CH died, I had dreams at times that involved her.
Mostly, I would dream I was visiting at her house. Her
husband was there in the dreams, but not CH. It was not
like I knew she was dead in those dreams. She just was not
at home.

Then, one time she interrupted a dream I had been having
of my days back in college. I was about to leave the main
building for my major, and there she was walking towards
me, coming up the stairs, opening the main doors as I was
headed out. I sort of did a double take, in the dream.
Suddenly I was very aware of things, where I was, who
she was. None of it jived in my head, since I knew two
things. If I was really in college, she should not be there
because I did not know her back then. And the big kicker;
I knew that she had died. Sometimes things in dreams do
not jive, and you just go on knowing that it is only a
dream, and then it all changes. This time, it occurred to
me that this must be a dream, but when I realized that, the
only thing that changed was the outward setting. The
building, the outside- it all faded into nothingness. But,
CH was still there and still walking towards me. There I
was, stammering, 'why are you here, how are you here,
are you really here?' She came up face to face with me,
grabbed my arms just below my shoulders, and said
firmly, 'I want you to know that am OK. There is
something I have wanted to do for you.' And then,
without saying anything else that I remember anyway, she
pulled me towards her. We were already about as close as
we could be, but she pulled me closer, and then we
merged together. What followed was warmth, tingling,
swirling flashes of light, a feeling of floating, of being- me,
her, us together as one. Then it was over."

I have communicated with several deceased family members while OBE. I can only hear them, not see them. I usually reach them by just calling out their name and concentrating on them. If they are able to respond, they do. I've only had success if they just passed- if it's been too long, like years, they've probably reincarnated or are in a place I can't reach.
