The Soul’s Journey Home: Understanding Death Beyond Fear
Death is never someone’s or something’s fault. It is simply the end of a path—a journey that has come to an end. There is no fixed day or moment programmed for us to die; we have quite a bit of flexibility in those final days. There is simply a moment when the soul sees there is nothing more to learn, nothing more to solve, nothing more to experience. And it is in that moment, often in complete peace, that it leaves this vessel, this body, to go back home. The journey back home is one of relief and love that all souls experience and remember. It is never scary to return home; on the contrary, the excitement and joy are overflowing.
The density on Earth sometimes lets us forget how easily we leave—how freed and light we feel as a soul on the journey back home.
Even if sometimes, if not often, fragments of our energy get stuck, remain here, or wander around, the core always leaves!
We don’t all go back to the same home—not as long as this and other universes still exist. We go home to the energetic place where we first incarnated. In other words, we don’t go back to “before creation,” where we all were one and the same (part of God). Not just our short lives on Earth are a progressive journey; all experiences in the universes are! There is no going “back” in a linear sense—it all moves and evolves constantly. We go to where we resource, reconsider, and plan or get informed about our next incarnation. Sometimes we leave again quickly, sometimes we stay “up there” for a while, “working” on other tasks, guiding younger souls, or simply recharging with source energy.
As incarnated souls, we can connect with that other dimension—actually, the other dimensions, I have to say—any time we want. We can feel the vastness of where we came from and trust these feelings of peace and neutrality. “All is well” is often a translation of that feeling when connected to “all that is.” On a consciousness level, there is no more judgment and hence no more heavy emotions. It simply is.
It can be helpful to understand that before incarnating, many souls agree to life “contracts” or lessons, choosing experiences to grow and evolve. When the soul sees it has completed these lessons, it feels ready to return home. This understanding can bring comfort and meaning to the natural timing of death.
I encourage us all to become aware of these other dimensions. Just become aware, then breathe and listen within. It is all there. And it is all good.
The moment when a loved one has died, has left this body, and left us is an opportunity to connect in and “up.” The emotions around death allow us to break open, to feel deeply, to let go of judgment, surrender, and listen inside. There is peace, I promise. Even if you feel it just for a second, notice. Notice, breathe more. Feel again. Connect again. And life continues. ❤️
Rituals and personal practices can support those of us who remain, helping to honour grief, celebrate the soul’s journey, and create sacred space for healing. Whether it’s lighting a candle, speaking aloud memories, or simply sitting in silence, these acts help ground and comfort.
Connecting consciously to these other dimensions can also be a healing practice for those grieving or simply curious—inviting an active engagement with the soul’s greater reality and fostering a deep sense of peace and understanding.
