I am a Mortician. I spent three years studying Mortuary Science.
I got a job in a small Mortuary. When I enter the Mortuary, I step into Sacred Space.
The realization is that someone’s life ended on this side, and my job is to tend to the body and help the family get through the grief and loss process.
Any time I am near a dead body, I can sense the essence of the spiritual part. The spiritual side usually conveys a “thank you.”
I worked in the evening time during the vigils, visitations, and/or the Rosary. Sometimes, all three of our visiting rooms would have a service going. Our Mortuary closed, around 9 p.m.
At the end of the night, I had paperwork to do. This would be after all the visitors had gone.
I would also do the Clear Light Reading for all of the deceased in my care.
I called each name three times and told them to go to the Clear Light. I noticed spirits easily come to you when you are not afraid. And I felt surrounded by Spiritual Beings.
I learned about the Clear Light Readings during my reading of American Book of the Dead, by E.J. Gold. I read the Labyrinth Readings for my Mother after she died. The book inspired me to do Readings for more people, and what better place than at a Mortuary!
Now, I am a Labyrinth Reader and the Group Leader.
There is something that happened to me every night when I would do my paperwork. I would sit at the desk and directly across from it on the ceiling, I could hear people talking and laughing. I also heard the clinking of glasses as if a party was going on.
I found it quite humorous and I felt safe and protected by those spirits.
I had an experience once while picking up some bodies. I used the double decker van because I had four bodies to pick up and take back to our Mortuary.
I had the van loaded with three of the bodies, then I had a great accident. I was loading the body and it was about 400 pounds. As I was putting the body into the van, the gurney collapsed and the body knocked me to my knees and fell on me!
All in all, I really enjoy working with the dead. I enjoy funeral industry work. I feel especially helpful to the dead. Especially, when I would do the Clear Light Reading to them at the end of the night. Maybe I helped some of them get to that Clear Light.
S.A.
