MUM – HOW WONDERFUL LIFE IS WHILE YOU’RE IN THE WORLD

Dear All

Thank you all so much for your beautiful thoughts, prayers and messages and to those of you tuning in over the last 12 hours who connected with my Mum.

Mum passed away at 4:10am Sunday morning New Zealand time with me.

I was on ‘night watch’.

It was a beautiful moving experience for me to be with her on my own in stillness and silence and peace as she took her last breath.

I said “God Bless You. I LoveYou” in those final seconds.

I awoke suddenly at 4:06am to find her breathing very very shallow. So I knew it was time.

I reminded her she gave birth to me around this time so now she was going to rebirth herself with the angels help in God’s Light and watched her holding Dad’s hand all the way back to heaven.

Then the breathing stopped and I told her ‘God Bless You. I Love You’ as I held her hand.

She was gone on her next great journey.

It was such a privilege and an honor to be with her and hold her hand and let her know everything was OK, to let go, surrender, and return home.

Our day was very typical of what I experienced as a child.

In the morning it was special family time with just me and my sisters Mo and Russy and my sister’s daughter Livvy. We shared all we needed to share with Mum.

In the afternoon some musicians who knew Mum came in and we played music for several hours, everything from hymns and prayers and chants to Elton John (she loved ‘Candle In The Wind’ and ‘Your Song’ and the musicals Mum loved like ‘The Sound of Music’ which I think I’ve seen more than a hundred times.)

My brother then arrived. He was the last to gather coming from Australia. I do think Mum was waiting for my brother to visit.

He stayed until about midnight.

From midnight for about forty minutes I did my yoga and meditation routine with her then said prayers and sang songs and then listened to the Pyramid Sounds and chants and then held a crystal on my heart with one hand while I held her hand with my other.

A vision was opened to me through her. I could see many many things including the ‘door’ she needed to take into the light to go home and Dad waiting. I spoke with her about what I saw, how to let go, how to return home, some of the practices I had done to allow that like the mahasamadhi, which I described to her, and many other things. I could see some of her past lives including a beautiful oceanic world that I have not visited before. I told her about my own teacher Yogananda’s death, and when and how the great guru entered mahasamadhi, a God‑illumined master’s conscious exit from the body at the time of physical death.

When all that needed to be said had been said I went to sleep.

At 2am I was woken from a deep sleep quite abruptly when the nursing home staff came in to move her. I couldn’t figure out who they were and thought initially “Don’t touch my Mum!”.

At 3am she took a big breath with a sigh. It was completely different to every other breath she had taken. I knew the time was near.

At 4am she started to breathe very shallow. So so softly it was like a whisper on God’s breath.

Then it was her time to go.

I am very blessed that I could be right beside her and thank her and Divine Mother so much for allowing me that experience.

I love you all so much.

Altair and Mother
