Visions Of The Dearly Departed By Jessica Bryan

Until recently I had not considered the possibility of significant further spiritual evolution. However, my skills as a spiritual medium have increased, especially in the area of visions and communicating with people who have died… particularly two close friends who died in 2024. I can’t say for sure, but these visions are likely more detailed than the visions I’ve had of other people I did not know as well.  It’s also interesting to note how different their individual attitudes and death experiences were.

FIRST THERE WAS STEVEN

On the night of June 27, 2024, I received the news that my dear friend Steven had died, and the next morning I felt a strong urge to go to his house and pray for him.

Sitting in his backyard, my consciousness began to go deeper and I was inspired to do energy healing and clearing of his house, everything in it, the surrounding property, and Steven, himself. Also included in the clearing were etheric impressions left behind by other people who had lived there, because Steven had many troubled roommates over the years.

My clairvoyant window opened and I watched as Spirit created a gigantic vortex of powerful energy over everything. It seemed almost as big as an actual tornado. I call this type of manifestation “the cosmic vacuum cleaner.”

The vortex began to spin with great force…it looked like the tornado that took Dorothy’s house up to the Land of Oz. In this way, any remaining energy connected to Steven (and Steven, himself) was removed, and what was left behind had been cleansed.

I felt great peace after this, and when I got home for my regular mid-day meditation I was still thinking about him. Another vision occurred almost immediately: I saw Steven sitting at a “kitchen table” with the Spirit of his deceased mother. They were engaged in “kibitzing,” a Yiddish word that means animated chatting and joking around. They seemed so happy to be together again on the other side of “the veil.”

Next, a bubble shaped like a reddish heart formed around Steven, his mom, and the kitchen table…and I watched as they floated gently out of view.

Before they disappeared completely, Steven turned around and communicated to me via thought transfer (which is also called “telepathy”):  “It’s okay. You can let me go now.”

Two months after Steven died, during meditation a gentle Spirit Voice whispered to me, “Someone is standing next to you and sending you telepathic messages.”

WOW! I thought. Who might that be? In the practice of clairvoyance, this was new for me. Usually, I initiate contact…usually with someone who is deceased…not the other way around.

Determined to discover who was trying to send make contact, I focused inward and began meditating on who it might be. Instantly, Steven came into my mind with a resounding “yes.”

However, when I attempted to address the Spirit of my recently-deceased friend, I was somewhat disappointed because his communication did not come in clearly. It did feel like he was exploring the possibility of contacting someone who was still alive, but his ability was not sufficiently developed. However, he did manage to transmit his feeling of excitement about this first fledgling attempt at making telepathic contact.

The next day as I was leaving to drive into town, I felt Steven in Spirit pressing me to drive by his house. When “we” arrived, I parked out at the street and began walking down the long driveway to his property. As I was walking, it felt like he was right next to me, so I started talking to him out loud:

"There’s the peach tree you loved so much. There is your moldy old car, still parked in the driveway. Your brother has already come from Hawaii and trimmed back the weeds to prevent a fire.” As I walked around to the back of the house, my movement startled a mother doe and her two fawns. Steven loved the deer outside his window and always kept a fountain running for them.

Feeling Steven’s regret and his need to say goodbye to his life on earth was sad, and I was glad to get back in my car and leave.

A month later, Steven’s brother arrived from Hawaii to continue settling Steven’s affairs, which included significant chaos with regards to Steven’s house and belongings. My role was to take usable items for donation to charity. During this process, I learned from his brother so much about the friend I had known for seventeen years, and I was curious to see a photo of him when he was young and vital. But no photo was found in the clutter.

That night, as I was going through some of the items gifted to me by Steven’s brother, I came across a small drawing of a female saint. As I looked at her beautiful face, Steven again communicated to me telepathically: “Open the back and look inside.”

Much to my surprise, when I removed the back of the frame a photograph of Steven fell out! He must have felt my desire to see him as he was in his youth so he directed me to the hidden photo, which answered my questions. The photo showed him to be quite handsome; he was dressed in stylish clothes and his expression showed his innate mental brilliance.

Two weeks after his brother left, I sensed Steven still “hanging around,” like maybe he had not made his final transition and taken his next step in crossing over. I was spinning and unbalanced from the energy of his continued presence, so I consulted a friend who is an excellent medium and healer. She agreed that Steven needed help and that we should do it together. She set the tone and brought in The Light while I observed clairvoyantly and added my energy to the effort.

As she began encouraging Steven to move towards The Light, I saw him walking backwards, away from us. He seemed to resist the process of crossing over, or perhaps he was still struggling to say good-by to his earthly existence.

As he got further and further away…and closer and closer to The Light…he turned his back to us and looking forward he continued until he merged completely with The Light…still holding onto the handle of his suitcase!

I might mention that Steven was very attached to his physical belongings when he was alive…as evidenced by the enormous accumulation of “stuff” crammed into his house.

Two months after we helped him cross over, a vision of Steven appeared in my Third Eye during meditation, in what I believe will be his last visitation. He was wearing the glorious blue velvet dinner jacket he had worn in his early twenties. This was before he started to go blind and his life changed dramatically, and not in a good way.

Sparks of Light could be seen lit up all around him and I felt him smiling and sending me joyful energy. A wave of love and gratitude came from him and into me, and then he was gone. Somehow, I knew it was the last time I would see or hear from Steven in my current lifetime.

The vision of Steven wearing his prized velvet jacket indicated to me that he had finally completed his transition…approximately five months after his physical body died. A final farewell to you…dear friend.

PHYLLIS

A vision of Phyllis appeared in my Third Eye as I began to meditate. She is 103 years old and getting closer to physical death. In my vision, she was ecstatically jumping down and yelling, “Wow, it’s so beautiful,” over and over. Some say people who are dying sometimes leave their body and come back before they leave for good. I found out later she was still alive, so she must have been “practicing.”

Three months later, her son called to tell me that Phyllis had died that morning. After hanging up the phone, I closed my eyes and almost immediately she appeared in a vision, skipping and dancing like a child in a field of green grass and white daisies. As she picked a bouquet of flowers, she was singing and tossing them in the air with great joy. My impression was that Phyllis had not yet realized she had “died.”

Soon afterwards, when it was time for meditation, I asked to learn more about what was going on with Phyllis. Almost immediately, another vision came into view: She was holding a baby, and somehow I knew the baby was someone she loved and that the child had died at a very young age. Perhaps it was her younger sister or a child Phyllis had miscarried.

The vision changed and I observed her deep in conversation with the Spirit of the child, who was now seen as tall and graceful and illuminated in crystal blue light. These two joined hands, turned away, and started moving towards a brilliant golden light that expanded across the entire horizon. Just as they started to move away, Phyllis turned around and looked at me. She smiled as if to acknowledge my presence and also to say goodbye.

At this point, her appearance began to change from the way I had known her in life to how she looks now in Spirit. Her transformation from the density of the physical body into her radiant Light Body was gentle and graceful, and I continued to observe in amazement as she walked towards the Light on the horizon, still holding the hand of the Spirit that had once been her child…and who was now guiding her to the Light.

Phyllis’ son later confirmed that, indeed, her first child had been delivered stillborn. He said she had mourned the child her entire life.

A few days later, I decided to “check in” again with Phyllis during my regular meditation. This time I saw her in the middle of a large crowd of Spirits, and I knew they were the Spirits of all the people she had known in her life, including the many people she had helped in her work as a massage therapist. It was obvious Phyllis was being welcomed into “heaven” as she had always envisioned it.

There have been other visions and communications from people who are deceased, and these experiences always offer great solace to those they leave behind, including me.
