This is the eleventh session of the eighth series of Lanzarote Sessions, transcribed during a break to the Canary Islands in December 2024. During our frequent visits, I sit in the power of the spirit at least once daily and allow the spirit-connect to share a message with me.
|| This summary written on 14th May 2025
When I sat with my brother at the side of my mother’s hospital bed in her past few hours this side, we joked that it would be typical of mum to wait until Christmas day before she crossed to the other side. It was Christmas eve and as midnight approached mum hung on the the last few drops of life in her. She passed at around 2:00am on Christmas day. She got her last wish!
Like so many others that have experienced a passing on an otherwise special day, it’s easy to remember the anniversary in the future. My mother was riddled with cancer, probably from being a lifelong smoker. Her time in hospital was short, around two weeks as I recall. This is from finding out she had cancer throughout her stomach and lungs. So in many ways it was a blessing that it was a quick transition for her and not weeks of pain and suffering.
Every Christmas since that event over a decade ago, we give a thought to mum on the day. There are many other people that can share stories of close relatives passing on a special day, such as a birthday, anniversary, or similar occasion. It happens. Of course, it’s not deliberate by the relative, and the transition of life is beyond such trivial occasions, but we do like to think they did it deliberately, with a sense of humour in our voice!
The speaker in this session talks from their perspective of what happens on Christmas day in their world and throws light on some other interesting thoughts.
If you consider how many days on a calendar are marked as special, it’s quite a high likelihood that someone will pass over on one of the dates. It’s nothing more than odds at play.
THE SPIRIT INSIGHT
transcribed on Friday, 20th December 2024, at 2:30 pm
You can write, I am ready. I’m sorry, I think I was speaking over your opening prayer. I’m sorry.
Well if you don’t mind, I wanted to talk to you about Christmas. And I’m aware you are on that lovely island of Lanzarote for the period. How nice!
Have you noticed how people’s attitudes change subtly during the holiday season? People become friendly, well, friendlier than normal. They show this as an exterior expression as well. The usual stresses and strains of life take a back seat. Put on hold for another day.
Yet at the same time there are those that remember somebody they’ve lost to this world during such times. It is these people I want to focus on.
You lost your mum to our world on Christmas day, so you do have some personal experience. The sadness is felt as if a little stronger than normal. A day like Christmas that comes around every year. A time of celebration, fun, food and letting the world drift by, without a care in the world.
When someone passes during those hours. it hurts more. And the grief is recalled every year that follows. Some people ask, why this day and why this way? The philosophical answer is that it was their time to cross. No day is a good day, and if the natural choice was left to humans, they’d never choose any day.
You should know that we as people here, are aware of it being Christmas day. To us, also, its a time of celebration. The stars of our gatherings are those very people that came home on Christmas day. They are like celebrities here. Their day is easy to remember!
When your mum was encouraged to let go and leave that life journey she was helped by the finest carers we have. You seen them as a form of energy around your mum and you know she had no pain. In those last few moments, she was content.
We know of the grief left behind them. Of course we do. But when people arrive here, they are welcomed with love and caring. I know you’ve never thought this before, but can you imagine how your dad felt when she arrived back home for Christmas after being apart for those years between. When you consider other members of your family that were here already, can you appreciate what a wonderful reunion that would have been?
Yes, you’re imagining correct. your dad telling your mum,”dont worry about anything. All is taken care of. All the children on earth will be fine and looked after by their own people in spirit this side.”
Our Christmas here is always very busy. You see, when someone on earth, thinks of their family and friends here, we know. We are aware of that special energy it emits. When you look at their image as a photo, or something that was close to them, we know, they know.
We share some grief with you. Our grief energy is much lighter though. Don’t forget, we know that life continues after that physical and often painful existence. We are free of those burdens. We know, beyond any form of doubt that you could imagine on earth, that life does continue. Free of pain. Free of grief, free of worries, free of any of your day-to-day stresses. Life goes on and in a better form.
I ask you Trevor, and anyone reading these words in your future, to use Christmas and any other appropriate day as one to remember your previous ones with happiness and love. They are indeed happy and will often make effort to respond with a sign.
I’ve enjoyed sharing my thoughts with you this time. Thank you for so elegantly writing my words for all to read. What a marvelous and timeless delight.
Goodbye dear friend.
MY AFTERTHOUGHTS
written at the time of this presentation
🔷 My mother put up a mental fight to stay on earth in her last hour. Though she was in a coma and heavily drugged, it appeared that she was fighting the passing process. I watched as entities gathered close to her to help her pass. I call them entities because they held no shape and were probably energy forms of such. When she did give in, she passed peacefully and at ease.
🔷 I suppose I’m fortunate that I wasn’t overly close to my mum, until the last few years. Of course, I miss her, as I do with my dad, but my sentiments are not as strong as they might be for someone else who was closer to their lost one. We always give thoughts to those family members that are no longer with us on that day.
🔷 I found the speaker’s words very comforting, reminding me that my mum was reunited with her husband for Christmas day. I’d never combined those two things events together before. Of course, I’m reminded that grief is an earthly emotion and not one that is common in the next life.
