Between Two Worlds: Lessons From the Other Side

by Tyler Henry

More than ever, people are coming forward and sharing their experiences with after-death communication. Through television and film, the question of whether life exists beyond death has captivated our popular culture—not because it’s a new question, but because people are opening their minds to new answers.

messenger in the middle of two realms: a medium.

It’s the small, but specific, details that communicate the essence of who someone is in life, and the same can be true for those on the other side.

Not only did I get closure, but I gained perspective.

Dying doesn’t mean having to say goodbye.

I knew undoubtedly that life continues on beyond death, and that it is clearly a state of existence that can interact with ours.

The purpose of meditation, after all, is to un-think. To minimize thoughts and feelings, so as to be an unobstructed conduit through which information flows.

change is essential to growth.

I was reminded of one of the earliest insights I’d ever been given from my guides: being on life support is like wearing locked handcuffs.

As hospitals are some of the most spiritually active places, I avoided them for years. People always assume that graveyards are full of ghosts, but the reality is, souls tend to stick around familiar areas. People often spend their last months in hospitals, and if they’re unable to transition fully, they naturally stay in those areas. Though the physical body may reside in a cemetery, the consciousness that once occupied it has no connection to the cemetery as a place.

Nothing seemed urgent or dramatic. Death didn’t feel like an ending; it just felt like life would go on.

I had the additional burden of being expected to have all the answers.

Synchronicities are events, similar to coincidences, that act as messages from a person’s guides or loved ones.

These seemingly random yet serendipitous moments are instrumental in changing the direction of a person’s life forever.

Showing the world that life doesn’t end at death was my number one priority.

show as many people as I can that love lasts forever. The bonds we forge in this world never break.

our loved ones come through to us because they want to share what dying taught them about living.

Our egos are our beliefs about ourselves. It’s an identity of our own creation and conditioning that doesn’t reflect who we truly are as souls. Yet, as human beings, our egos are developed from infancy and maintained throughout our lives. We think of our talents, abilities, and personalities as who we are, but these are all capabilities we have, not the defining features of our soul-selves.

Upon transitioning, each and every one of us will acquire an experiential understanding of the impact our actions and inactions had on others.

When I explain life reviews, I don’t want to give the impression that it’s a one-time screening of a movie reel of flashbacks. Rather, it’s a gradual, organic interlacing of growth, perspective, and understanding of universal interconnection.

We go from the perspective of an individual human to a perspective of ...

The death process acts as a rebirth, and the growth, change, and perspective we acquire in transitioning are the natural results of an expanding consciousness.

As our states of existence shift and develop, deeper understandings of our roles in the universe are birthed.

as souls, we never stop evolving. People learn in this life, and they are capable of coming through and acknowledging growth from the other side. From there, they continue their soul journeys, expanding upon their experiences and obtaining wisdom.

reincarnation provides a means to continue learning lessons one might not have learned in one lifetime.

The departed want us to know that life continues on, so that we on earth can live freer lives, with less fear.

Fear keeps our energy, intention, and focus in this realm. Time and again, souls come through and acknowledge that letting go of their fear was the key to transitioning smoothly.

The departed have an enlightened perspective to share, which can improve the quality of life of those they left behind.

The departed fulfill their own soul lessons by communicating, having their voices heard, and being able to give back to those they love.

The departed want us to know that we aren’t alone.

The spirits of those we love want to remind us that their energy is always with us. We are interconnected, throughout space and time. Pain and sadness are temporary, but their love for us is eternal.

The departed want to reassure us about their deaths, and about death in general.

Reincarnation is a mind-boggling subject, but at its core is the idea of the evolution of the soul.
