Recently I was certified in hypnosis. Throughout my classes I have had to be hypnotized many times for the other students to practice our hypnosis sessions and scripts. For this particular class we were learning how to use hypnosis to strengthen our spiritual gifts. It was my turn and I was in the chair going under hypnosis, and last I heard was the number 3…

Then I’m off, going up, up, up through a multitude of colors then through purple, finally stopping at magenta. It is beautiful where I am, I don’t hear anything I am completely consumed with love and contentment. I start to walk, so I think, but I don’t feel my legs moving. I feel as if I have been here before, I am so relaxed and at home, it’s comforting. I look in the distance and I see someone, I feel like I love them very much and I start running toward them. As I get closer, I see him, it’s Tyler!! Tyler is my cousin who died at the age of 15. He passed four years ago in a car accident that killed him instantly. As I wrap my arms around him I FEEL him. My head rests under his chin, I feel his boney back, I feel his strength. I feel him! I smell him! He is so beautiful and youthful! I wonder, can this really be happening I am with him!!! I start to cry, tears pouring down my face, I keep hugging him and pulling back looking at him smiling, touching his face, really seeing that it is him and FEELING him. He starts talking to me, puts his two hands on my shoulders, it’s hard to believe he is standing right in front of me. He crouches down to look directly in my eyes, since I am only 5’2” and he is much taller. He says, “We don’t have much time, they will be pulling you back soon and you must listen carefully and quickly.” He says that it is he who has been helping me along my path of spirituality, in return I have been helping him. He tells me that he has gone through many classes on the other side to communicate effectively. He explains that he likes when we communicate through table tipping and that he needs me to be more appreciative and encouraging towards myself. He encourages me by saying that that I am doing a great job. Then he says, “Look at me, really look at me Jenn!” I am looking at him and realize that he is talking but his mouth is not moving. I say, “Tyler I hear your words but your mouth isn’t moving.” He says, “Neither is yours Jenn!” I look at him puzzled, and he explains that we are communicating “from here” and he points to his head. Then he says, “When you are looking for names of the people you are communicating with in spirit, you just know them, that is your gift. You are trying too hard, Jenn, YOU just know. Trust yourself and what you “HEAR and KNOW”, it is the answer you are looking for. You must trust yourself and the information you are receiving.” Then he says, “Look behind me what do you see?” I look to the right behind him and see, off in the distance, what appears to be some type of fog, white fog, a tree, and many people around that tree in a half circle all looking at me. I look closer and don’t recognize any of them. I start to feel as if I am being pulled away from Tyler and he immediately pulls me closer with his energy and says, “We don’t have much time.” He is shaking me now. “Look, Jenn, look closer who do you see, he asks?” I still have no idea who all of these people are. Suddenly, a man steps out from the half circle and says, “Hi, I am Dean.” I look at him in awe, “Are you Dean, the man that I connected with two weeks ago?  I gave messages to your wife!  I helped you cross over!” He says, “Yes, it is me! All of these people are people that you have helped.” I look at Tyler and start to cry again, he says, “It is working, keep listening, you are helping!”

The next thing I know I am back in the chair, feeling refreshed and so emotional. I am sobbing because of what just transpired. I am in awe and disbelief, It felt so real. The woman who hypnotized me asks “Who is Tyler?” I am shocked she knows his name. She explains that when she asked me who I was talking to, I told her his name. She describes me shaking a lot and says that it frightened her. During the session she asked me if I wanted to come back now and I sternly said, “NO!”  After a few more minutes she brought me back. When I tell her that it felt like I was only there for five minutes and that it was the most amazing five minutes of my life, beside the birth of my children. She said, “Jenn, look at the clock.” I couldn’t believe it, I had been under for an hour!

I know in my heart this encounter was real. It was Tyler communicating with me! When he was alive he was 15 when I saw him last and I was 29. I knew he was my cousin, I saw him on holidays, saw him occasionally play baseball but really that was the extent of my relationship with him. When he died, his death rocked all of us, my family, to the core. We were all completely devastated. Since his death I have learned so much about him, what his dreams were, his first kiss, he friends, his fears. We have become such beautiful support and friends for one another. I feel so blessed to be able to have this time with him now as I didn’t have it when he was here. He helps me with every reading, channeling, healing and table tipping session that I do. He is always helping me.

I will cherish this encounter for the rest of my life, I had a point where time stood still and I got to see, feel, touch, smell and hear Tyler again. Thanks Tyler for all of your support, I love and miss you so much!!
