London Bridge Down

When I heard the news of Queen Elizabeth’s passing, I was at my desk.  London Bridge is Down – Operation London Bridge enacted.  I stopped and just felt the energy around me for a few moments.   If you sat quietly you could feel the wave of peace and incredible love that was in the air.  The moment someone transitions to the other side is magical and sacred.   Why they say take a moment of silence.   We are not prepared for the magnitude of the moment.  The overwhelming emotions and grief.

What should you do?

Sure there are arrangements that need to be taken care of, there are people to notify.  When you are with someone in that moment that is not the most important thing you should do.  There will be plenty of time for that.  I am talking about being present.  In the moment, surrounded by love.  Not only of your loved one that passed, but the Universe itself.  As you pay attention —

    • what are you feeling?
    • What might they be experiencing?
    • Who else can you sense in these moments?

The irony is that our loss, is a joyful reunion.  Knowing this makes it a more beautiful moment.  Think of the countless dogs and horses that met her on the Rainbow Bridge and all of her loved ones that were there to greet her.

Why should you pause?

For one it gives you the opportunity to absorb the enormity of the moment.  You will never be able to recreate the moment.  You will be glad that you took the time to be in that moment.  The Royal family knows this.   That is why they have Operation London Bridge, to ensure there is nothing to worry about.   Everything is being taken care of right now.   They are present, together, to be in the moment.  They need this time to catch their breath because they won’t have much of an opportunity in the coming days.

Keep this in mind

You can say the same thing with the loss of your own family members and friends.   The experience is just as significant. Being present in the moments after death is an incredible gift.  This is a gift to the people you’re with, and yet it’s a gift to the person who’s just died.  They’re just starting their new journey in the world without a body, surrounded by love. by keeping a calm space around their body, and in the room, they’re launched in a more beautiful way.   So when you are faced with that moment, remember this and slow down and be present.   You never know what you will learn in those moments.
