Beyond Knowing

“What’s interesting about these dreams that you don’t get with other dreams is that, you know we talk about how these dreams are so great for grief after a death but what happens when we start to heal? I think this is a very interesting question because if the dreams are just meant for your grief, then they should stop after someone let’s say is adapting to their loss well. But what happens is that those dreams don’t stop. They transform, they change. So now people are start having these dreams when they have other distressing moments in their life. So it’s not about the death anymore. Now it’s about helping you through difficult times that you are going through. I don’t fully understand it but it is very beautiful to look at because there is something going on, that’s helping us in a way that research hasn’t really looked at. And so when we talk about people being resilient, we forget that people are having these experiences that are actually helping them become resilient. “

“Here is a really neat example of portraying death that my guides had me tell my kids one time:

Ginette Biro is a bridge between our world and other realms. As a medium she works with different senses to connect to other dimensions and with spirit. She connects with people on the other side who have passed on, with higher beings of light and spirit guides. Although she spends a lot of time in the spirit world she has a normal life with two kids, a husband and her pets.

When she was 5 years old, it all started. She felt beings in her room, who she later learned were part of her council.

Ginette brought her platform Avalon Spirit into life where she provides all sort of content around consciousness and spiritual growth.
