The first time Craig “visited me” in my meditation after he passed, I was stunned, shocked, and thrilled.
The day after Craig crossed over, I was in my designated meditation chair. I had no sleep the night before and was so sad I didn’t know if I would be capable of meditating. I did, however, repeat my mantra (that I learned at the Chopra Center) numerous times and fell into that space between thoughts –that blissful, quiet, peaceful place.
Previously I had never experienced anything in meditation other than an occasional rainbow of color and calm. But that day, it was as if I was looking at a blank television screen and Craig’s face started appearing as if an artist had a charcoal pencil and was doing a sketch. As I watched the screen of my mind, the drawing came to life right before me. There he was. It was not like a photograph. It was something I had never seen. At first it reminded me of the Shroud of Turin. It then became crystal clear as I tuned in. He was with me in that form until his image gradually dissipated as the half an hour meditation came to a close.
The following day I wondered if I would “see” him again. In my mind, in my meditation, I asked him if he was there? And slowly an image of him came into view. He appeared with a different look on his face than from the previous day, but it was unmistakably him.
This would become our pattern. I would ask if he was there, and normally, he would slowly materialize like a movie in slow motion. I have come to understand that the few times that he did not “visit” my meditations were the occasions when my frequency was not high enough for him to be able to “come through.” In other words, I was not relaxed enough.
Craig humorously explained the “coming through,” by sometimes manifesting upside down in the meditation. He said, through the medium, it was easier for me to receive him that way and he loved the irony in that he was coming down or lowering his vibration and I was coming up or raising mine. That epitomized his playful sense of humor. Lately, he has been coming in sideways. Little giggles often times escape my sacred concentration.
The first dozen weeks or so after his passing he was so vivid, so lifelike, when he appeared to me during my meditation. As the months went on, he began fading, like a sepia tone photo. I would only get outlines or only his eyes or shadowy images. Panicked, I asked him through the medium if he was “leaving.” I wondered what I was doing wrong because I was doing everything humanly possible to raise my vibration in hopes of a clearer longer-lasting connection. He responded that my fears were unsubstantiated. He said he was further away now, and it was more difficult for the transmission, but that I was doing everything right. He said I was making progress and to persevere.
I continued to see Craig’s face developing like a photo in a dark room in my meditation mind, but I also saw an eye. Day after day, I would see Craig and this exceedingly large eye. I was perplexed, but rationalized that my eyes were shut, thus I was seeing my closed eye. Then one day I finally understood. It hit me like a bolt of lightning. I was seeing or looking through my “third eye.”
I had heard “third eye” casually mentioned in some of my yoga classes. I had also seen some rather, I thought at the time, disturbing posters with a third eye appearing between two “normal” eyes. So, I did what most curious seekers would do and Googled “third eye.” Wikipedia defines the third eye as: “a mystical concept of a speculative invisible eye which provides perception beyond ordinary sight. The third eye refers to the gate that leads to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness.”
The online Personal Tao states: “The third eye is our ability to see what might be, to see potential. Everyone has access to his or her third eye. For example, when you have a hunch and act on it, you’ve used your third eye. But that’s only the beginning. Your third eye is a sense, one you can develop to be more refined and accurate than just being a hunch.”.
I now understand one can have a heightened sense of awareness, of consciousness, when you have absolute trust and are open to receive it. This “opening” of the so-called third eye allows you to see things, feel things, and touch things that seemingly aren’t really there, because you are energetically vibrating at a higher frequency. I believe this is how I am able to see, feel, and hear Craig around me. I also believe this is something everyone can do if they are open to it. Trust me. I know this sounds bizarre, but I am just relaying my experiences exactly as they happened to me.
