Words Of Eternal Love From My Grandmother

A meditation to speak with her guiding spirit

My grandmother died when I was five. I have memories of her but they are vague and elusive.

The most precious memory of her however occurred after she was long passed and I was a teenager.

I didn’t understand the significance of my vivid dream at the time but it was so real I can see it in my mind eye until this day, forty years later.

We sat together, Grandma and I, by a lake. There were two white swans gliding majestically and my grandmother was reassuring me that she would always be with me.

It wasn’t until years later that my life path had taken me to a space where I wondered if I could connect with the spirit of this maternal presence or if I was just imagining her spirit walking with me.

I learned that the white swan symbolism is related to light, grace, beauty, love, and purity. The swan is an emblem of feminine beauty and softness. (Google search).

I reached out to her on April 22, 2020 and this is what I heard as I meditated with the intention to connect.

A Message From Grandma Ida To My Heart

A long time ago when you were just a child, a wee babe, I took you in my arms and gazed upon your loving heart. I saw in you the hope of a future filled with light and happiness; gladness to be alive and humour beyond measure.

You were the child who had the blessing of God written on your very expression. The features of an angel and the strength of the wisdom of the eons in your discernment of others around you.

I knew in that moment that we were two souls that had rejoiced as one in the afterlife and that our journey here would only be complete when we had both grown in the wisdom and understanding of the one who gives eternal peace.

I asked God at that time to guide this child into His path of Light. I prayed earnestly that you could have the door of enlightenment opened to you in ways that it had remained forever shut to me. I prayed that the world would change enough around you so that you could rejoice in the wisdom of your heart and the confidence of your soul.

My path had not been so blessed.

I regret now that I did not see beyond the human limitations of my conscious mind. I talked myself out of so many good things because of what I thought I could, should and would be. I was not strong enough to realize that God will give us a way if we will give him a willingness.

You have been blessed with the faith that I had been only indoctrinated with.

Your mother is very proud of you. She was my precious jewel. In her I invested all my love and hope. I dreamed that through her there would be an outpouring of the sorrow that I held in my regrets surrounding the life I had lived. I had hoped that she would shine in ways that made my dullness cease to matter.

In you she found my perfection. I knew that God had blessed both her and me. My journey on earth was done.

Too many souls on earth fail to reach their completion and linger in pain and illness and despair. I could breathe my last in a gentle reprieve of acceptance. I could pass on with a calm knowing that all was well in the world. The mantle had been passed and the work I couldn’t complete would be done on earth as it was being done in heaven.

You are a child of God and with great pride I declare that you will always be a child of mine.

By this communication, I confirm it and rejoice in it. I lay aside judgment of myself, and who I wasn’t, and I glory in the blessing that we are. We were. We will be, through all eternity.

I am with you when you call. Blessings.
