Smells from the Other Side?

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

Hi Everyone - here’s an interesting question I’ve received:

Hi Debbie,

I was looking over your blog page and I was hoping you could answer a question.

” Do certain smells signify death for someone near to us?”

My mother in-law had cigar smoke come to her in the night days before her husband passed. Just recently she smelled it again and even woke up her bird.

Any thoughts? Should she be scared?

My response:

I don’t believe that smells automatically signify death, but perhaps could signify that someone on the Other Side is visiting. The sense of smell is something humans cannot block out or pretend they don’t notice, unlike sight and hearing. So often those on the Other Side will use scent to get our attention and make us think of them, especially if it’s a smell we associate with that person in particular. So I suppose if somewhere were to die shortly after smelling something like that, it could mean that the loved ones on the Other Side had been visiting to help that person to cross over, which I believe they do whether we are aware of it or not.

I don’t think your mother-in-law has anything to worry about, but I don’t believe in coincidences, so it’s more likely that someone on the Other Side was visiting them before the husband died, and perhaps that same Spirit is visiting her again now. I think it indicates the visit, not the death!

Please let me know if you learn anything more about what’s going on there!

My thanks to everyone for your interest in me and my blog, and best wishes for a lovely Thanksgiving!

VERY INTERESTING!

Friday, November 17th, 2006

I received an email from an old friend and she gave me permission to put it all here in the blog:

“Turns out my husband is addicted to pain pills and has been for about a year. I was clueless. He stopped and is getting counseling and help from family Dr. for his depression and anxiety. Life has been tough (lies, etc.) and time will tell if we make it through this.

Here’s what happened this last week, and I’d like to know your FIRST thought as to what you think it means:

This past week I woke up on two different nights and, as my husband was lying next to me sleeping, I also saw him standing next to the bed (on his side of the bed, facing the bed).

When I thought about it after taking a shower this morning, I was overcome with emotion. (I won’t say what popped in my head because I want to see what others get from this.)

What’s your first thought on what it means?

Love you Deb - thanks for your input.”

Here’s my answer:

Well, first you need to remember that we all leave our bodies every night, it’s called astral projection or soul travel. If he’s dealing with lots of emotional issues, it’s even more likely that he’s leaving his body at night to access help and guidance from the other realms, such as his higher self, spirit guides, etc. That’s a good thing!

But this mostly means to me that you’re becoming more attuned, or psychic, or whatever you want to call it, since it’s quite unusual for us to remember seeing people in their astral bodies (although we probably do it all the time - that’s a lot like seeing dead people, only living people come back to the human body and dead people don’t!).

I suspect you think that he’s going to die, or something along those lines, which I don’t agree with - not that it’s impossible, of course, we could all go any minute, but that I don’t think that’s what you’re witnessing. I think it’s really about your own development, more than changes with him. Because I always believe that at some level we all know everything, some part of you was aware that he was lying and doing stuff all this time, but since you weren’t ready for the information, you had to stifle it and mask your natural instincts. Now that you can stop “short circuiting” your intuition, you’re probably enjoying a real reawakening of your own psychic abilities, including seeing him when he’s out of the body. So - what else are you picking up? Just don’t jump to conclusions…
