Phillip wanted to connect with the spirit of his baby brother, Scott, who had died a year before Phillip was born. Scott was two years old when he passed from complications of pneumonia, and Phillip had always been curious about the older bother he had never met. Before our session, he emailed a black-and-white photograph of Scott, a chubby little infant with wide-open eyes and a big smile.
“Do you know, my parents never told me I had a brother who predeceased me, not until I was in my teens,” said the 27-year-old chiropractor who was weeks away from getting married. “I think the thought talking about him was bad luck, or something. It wasn’t until I discovered some paperwork by accident that they told me about him.”
Phillip continued: “I don’t know why I feel really drawn to find out about him. I hope he’s okay in the spirit world.”
I was touched by Phillip’s story and really wanted to help him. I asked my guides for help in contacting Scott’s spirit. Unfortunately, no presence was stepping forward. I did feel a grandfather energy around me, and described the fellow, which Phillip said he understood. I delivered the fellow’s message, and Phillip accepted his words. But grandpa had nothing to say about Scott, and became quiet when Phillip asked him if he had any contact with Scott.
After a few minutes of meditating and touching in with my guides, I felt bad about admitting that I couldn’t reach Scott. I really hate to disappoint clients, but I also have to be honest with them.
“There are two main reasons why I can’t bring in someone from spirit,” I explained. “Either the spirit doesn’t want to talk to the person before me, which I don’t feel is the case here or that spirit has reincarnated and is now someone else—”
One of my guides gave me a poke and I looked again at the photo of Scott. Then at Phillip. Then back to Scott. An odd feeling came over me, and I couldn’t believe what I was being shown.
“You said you were born a year after Scott died?” He nodded. “And you feel very close to him?” Another nod. “Well, this has never happened to me before, but I’m getting the feeling that you’re Scott, and you were meant to be born again into the same family.”
Phillip’s eyebrows jumped in surprise. “Huh,” was all he said.
Then, after a moment of contemplative thought, he said, “Y’know, that kinda makes sense.”
I told Phillip about a client I’d had many years go. The five-foot-two-inch woman had been pregnant with twins, but lost both of them in utero. Spirit told me that her body wasn’t prepared for twins, but both souls had chosen to be part of the woman’s family. Spirit then said she would later give birth to two boys, but one right after the next. Well, three years later the woman called me to tell she had just delivered her second son. Interestingly, he was born on the exact same date – though one year apart – of her first son.
After my session with Phillip, I sat for a bit in a daze. Will wonders never cease?, I thought, then hoped that I would never cease to be amazed by curve balls thrown to me by spirit. Truthfully, I enjoy being amazed every day.
Then I began to wonder: Who might I have been, before this lifetime?
