As we approach the powerful 11/11 portal—a spiritual gateway for awakening, manifestation, and new beginnings—the veils between worlds thin, inviting us to connect more deeply with the unseen realms. This episode is a perfect companion for this potent time, as we explore how to open our hearts to the loving guidance of the Spirit world and communicate with those who have passed on.

In this profound and comforting episode, Terri sits down with author and psychologist Matthew to discuss his powerful book, Seeking Your Loved One on the Other Side: Communications with the Invisible Universe. Matthew shares his personal journey of connecting with his son, Jordan, after his tragic passing.

Profound Quotes from the Episode

"The relationships that we have to people we love, never end and death has nothing to do with the relationship. We can't see the person... but the relationship is still there. The love is still there... and it's really our own choice as to whether we want to engage openly now in that relationship or wait till we pass on."
— Matthew McKay

 

"The loved ones on the other side are just a thought away. And as soon as you think about them, you start opening the channel... All of that actually opens the channel... and if we decided to, we could actually begin communication at that point."
— Matthew McKay

 

"Don't be afraid of death. It's just a doorway... You will be received, you will be cared for, you'll be loved, and the dark door will open and the light of love will take you in."
— A message from Jordan, channeled by Matthew

 

Key Themes Discussed

  • Eternal Relationships: Matthew provides a powerful message that our relationships with loved ones do not end with physical death; they simply transform. Love is the eternal bridge that keeps us connected.
  • Anyone Can Communicate: A central theme is the empowerment of knowing that you don't need to be a special medium to connect with the other side. Matthew explains how anyone can learn to open a channel for two-way communication, receive guidance, and feel the continuity of love.
  • Earth as a School for Souls: The conversation delves into why our souls incarnate on Earth, one of the most challenging schools for learning. Our struggles are presented not as failures, but as sacred opportunities for growth.
  • The Purpose of Pain and Karma: Matthew shares wisdom from his son, Jordan, reframing karma not as punishment, but as a continuing lesson plan for the soul. The pain we experience is what allows us to learn profound lessons about love and compassion that are not possible in the spirit world.
  • The Sacred Mission to Learn Love: Ultimately, our purpose here is to learn how to love in the face of adversity and to make every choice an act of love. This is how we contribute to our own soul's evolution and the evolution of the collective.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
