Over the years I would say that I felt connected to the mystical world strongest after someone had passed on, I would often find them coming to me and showing me things, a vision etc. Mostly when I am in a meditative state. Also I have always had a strong connection with my grandmother who has never left my side and has often come to me in visions with little messages or just being in my awareness. Recently I had a very powerful experience, I started my first vegetable garden, I feel so almost unnaturally connected, watching them grow, taking care of them, listening to them, nurturing them, its like I become the mother of those plants, my spirit connects with their spirit, later I could feel every single plant in the gardem, each one has an ethereal copy of itself parallel to its physical form and so do I, each body connected to another, there is no difference between my body and their's. Just unity and love. The evidence of this is in the success of my garden, no one can believe how healthy every plant is and how extra they look. Another powerful place is the kitchen and generally at home, I have communion with my anscestors who guide me when I cook meals, when I work in the garden, when the kids are sick, they are so close to me and so helpful. So to answer the question, it's when Im in the kitchen, when Im in the garden, when I am meditating and when people die
When I look out at the plants in the garden especially after it has rained it's like the plants are singing but not, it's like they are calling me but not, I get so excited I can't stop looking and when I called my husband to come and look I asked can you see it, can you feel it, he asked what? And that is when I realised I dont have the language to express the transcendental nature of my experience
