The only chapter worth reading is 30...(why did I really suffer through 29 to get there)...which discusses the importance of art, travel, and basic self-care routines. I have encountered pets in hundreds of readings, and they always appear as happy bundles of light and energy. While they’re with us, they are our teachers, sharing profound lessons about unconditional love—lessons they are uniquely suited to teach. And when they cross, they remain connected to us in real and powerful ways, providing hope and comfort and support and, of course, everlasting love.”

This is a very hopeful book for those that have suffered losses in their life. When someone passes away, we often wonder if they are doing okay and if they can connect with us. The author happens to be a psychic medium who is able to connect with people that have passed, and has the ability to convey messages. She believes that anyone is capable of connecting with our loved ones and provides many examples and ways to do so yourself. What you read here are stories about grieving people desperately searching for "signs from the universe" by intentionally scanning via pattern recognition. Obviously if you go looking for something, you're going to see what you want to see.

But that’s not how I received the oranges. To me, the oranges were a beautiful affirmation. My prayer to the Other Side has always been, “Use me however I can best be of service as a vehicle of love and healing in this world. And please just guide me along the way.” And that’s what these thousands of oranges were—a sign. The universe was telling me, “You’re a member of this team, and you did your part. You honored your role. Thank you.” We feel called to something bigger in our lives. We might not know exactly what that is, but we can feel it in our bones.” April 2021: I re-read this book because it resonated with me so strongly that first time and I need some positivity and inspiration right now. Pandemic life has been hard on me, along with extra personal challenges I've faced recently. I feel isolated and less optimistic than usual. This book was a reminder that we are all connected, both here and on The Other Side. I feel inspired to ask The Universe for what I need and be open to guidance.

A classic since 1928, this masterly encyclopedia of ancient mythology, ritual, symbolism, and the arcane mysteries of the ages is available for the first time in a compact "reader's edition."It tells us how we can ask our deceased loved ones to give us signs from the other side to let us know they’re okay.

You have a son on the Other Side, don’t you?” I asked him, though the connection was so clear it was more of a statement than a question. anecdotal, 20% self-importance, 5% insightful information, and don't forget the copious amounts of name-dropping. This is definitely not what I expected, and to be honest I would happily scrape what I just read from my brain with my nails if I could.I think people either believe in this sort of thing or they don’t, so I don’t know if any skeptics are going to be swayed by reading this book. But since I feel like I have asked for and received signs in the past, wow! This book is full of amazing stories. I suppose I have thought that in my own life, those signs were a one off, but I’m going to be more open to ongoing experiences from now on. There were parts I like and parts I didn’t. The beginning and end were good but the middle was a slog. I believe in signs and that there’s more to the world and all, I just don’t believe with all the specific things she had put together to explain it all. I think she makes it too easy and makes the world seem too pretty, which brings me to my main qualm. It’s easy for me, a rich white girl, to believe all is great despite a few hiccups. But how could other people, people less fortunate than me, buy into that? How could a widow in Syria who lost all her kids and has nothing say life is great and all about togetherness and love? Once the author asked for an orange to be put in her path as a sign, and came across a decoration with thousands of oranges. When we ask for a specific sign we may be sent it dozens of times in various creative ways. It’s a lovely concept, if you don’t think too critically about it: the existence of the “other side”, shrouded in love and light. A reality where death isn’t real and we get to be with our loved ones again. Not just our loved ones, either, apparently. Our pets and our unborn babies, too, according to Laura Lynne!

Don't let her first chapter fool you, this is entirely written from a Judeo-Christian p.o.v. and clearly only accounts stories of affluent individuals who could afford her services. The ENTIRE book is just complied of stories of people seeing signs, NOT any meaning behind them, origins of these beliefs, or even analogies to anything outside of this woman's readings. There’s a chapter about how to shine brightly where we learn about shifting our energy, gratitude, food, sleep, prayer, manifesting and how thoughts matter. I didn’t say anything at first; in fact, it was the driver, a pleasant middle-aged man named Maximo, who spoke first. She is crazy about the Ninja Turtles,” Maximo told me. “Suddenly she has to have everything with a Ninja Turtle. It came out of nowhere. I knew that was Virgil coming around, and that he was watching over her. I knew it was a sign for me, too.” Three or four days went by and nothing, and I was beginning to think the book was wishful thinking. Then on Saturday, my husband I were driving somewhere. We arrived at our destination, but I was talking on the phone with my dad because he had called me while we were driving so I didn’t get out immediately. We were sitting in the parking lot, chatting with my dad, when all of a sudden this beautiful green dragonfly flew up and starting banging against our windshield. It kept doing it. I started to cry and said, “It’s my dragonfly from my mom.” The dragonfly kept hovering by our car, and when I got out, it flew up to me and followed me for a minute. I know it sounds totally crazy, but it happened, my husband saw it for himself, and trust me, he is a total skeptic.I loved this book. Having lost close people in my life . This gave me hope knowing that they’ll be fine and that they look out for us.
