​The following is how it has worked for me personally to initiate contact with a family deceased member, initially my wife Shirley.

​

No guarantee that it is also viable for others, but as we all know, unless you try it - you will never know. Several people have confirmed this method was successful for them, as well. Most important is to believe that you will succeed, not just going through the mechanics of it and then sitting back waiting for something to happen. This does require a sincere approach. As I approach 88 years of life being just a regular guy, so many unusual experiences have occurred since my wife passed while standing in my arms, after 61 years of marriage. I had to learn that I needed to START the contact and not just sit by waiting for my deceased wife to contact me. She sent me so many signs before this feeble mind of mine could grasp the meaning of what I was experiencing. I've seen so many posts from people in the various online After-Death forums who wonder why their loved one does not contact them. We have to realize and recognize that they are now in another world different that is from ours. So, friend, this is my approach. No magic. 

 

1.   Locate the quietest room you have available, free of all distractions.  

2.   Free your mind of ALL matters that you might have pending, like calls to make, chores to do, etc. 

3.   Use whatever method is best for you, but I always close my eyes to avoid seeing anything that will take    my mind away from what I want to do.  

4.   Then start calling to your loved one. “(Name,) are you here?”  Then “(his/her name,) Can you hear me?”  

5.   Then listen for a response or some other visible sign that they are nearby.  You may just be surprised and pleased. 

6.   Be patient, because “if at first you don’t succeed, you try and try again”. A little prayer will not hurt.

7.   Be aware that any response will not arrive through your ears.  Rather some form of ‘mental telepathy’ brings any response direct to your brain.

8.   In my case, any conversation will not involve current news, the weather, politics or anything pertinent to our human side. Our loved one has, as we say, “Been there and done that.” They are now in another place where only peace and calm exist. For me, most communication has been about family members. Please feel free to contact me if you need more direction. I will only reply with my own actual experiences.
