Through the years of being a spiritual medium, Spirit has taught me that once you cross over, your birthday changes. Spirit does not identify with the date of the arrival on earth any longer. However, the love and memories that you feel will always remain familiar to Spirit and are sent through the dimensions on this special day.
Before each birth there is much thought and planning from the higher realm. In order for a path to be created, a new life must be coordinated, even down to the date and time. This process is essential for the journey into the physical body, and the numbers play a huge role, creating the objectives for each life. When your entrance point has been determined, this date now becomes your birthday. It is the birth into the physical body.
In Buddhism we call the day of our birth our continuation day instead of our birthday. This is a wonderful tradition and helps us remember there is no ending, just a continuation into spirit. Even the day of death can be your continuation day. This day now becomes a day to honor. The day of your loved one’s death becomes a day for paying tribute even as you also lovingly remember a life on Earth. It is the birth into spirit, to our new home which is also our true home.
