After that story came out, our phone was ringing off the hook with people who wanted to get in touch with her. ” WELCOME TO EARTH SCHOOL Rosen describes herself as “an ambassador between the spirit world and our day-to-day world — relaying wisdom and insight from angels, guides and those who have passed on to people seeking answers in the here and now. ” She said all people have this innate ability, and a lot of her work, including her latest book, What’s Your Heaven?, helps people tap into their own gifts to connect with their deceased loved ones. In the book, Rosen writes that the spirits who line up outside her “mental door” are eager to share their insights and talk about where they are now — a place they describe as “heavenly. ” “The big reveal, ” Rosen writes, “is that heaven isn’t a physical place” but a state of being ruled by peace, commitment and love. “This book has a more universal message that zeroes in on our job in what I call ‘Earth School’ — the soul lessons we choose before we’re born to evolve our souls, called soul contacts, ” she said. “I tell people that whatev- er they are going through, it is happening for them, not to them. ” Rosen teaches that each of us choose the life lessons we need for our souls to evolve. We choose our life’s circumstances, our par- ents, friends and family — our soul groups — who will help us along the way. “I teach others that we are all playing out roles we agreed to and signed up for, ” she said. But who would sign up for the heartache, health challenges and betrayal we all some- times feel during our time on planet Earth? We do, Rosen said, and we do so to learn lessons. “Let’s say you have a pattern of unhealthy relationships with people who betray or abandon you, ” she said. “The real lesson your soul needs to learn is how to hold healthy boundaries. Once you can reframe the narrative, you get to rewrite your life the way you choose it. I remind people to ask not why, but what is this problem here to teach me?” SEVEN LESSONS Rosen’s latest book contains seven lessons to change your own personal life story. The first lesson is “I am connected. ” “We’re all source energy, Divine sparks of God, or Spirit, as I call it, which we can plug back into. We are all connected to this energy because we were born from it, and we will return to it. This relationship, ” she writes, “is the most important of our lives … We are all connected. We are not alone. ” She said nothing she’s ever learned from Spirit conflicts with her Judaism. “The work I do is inclusive of all belief systems, ” said Rosen, who was a member of Adat Shalom when she lived in West Bloomfield. Readers of her book will enjoy the Jewish references she plants throughout the text. The second lesson is “I am remembering. ” She writes, “We each come into this life with lessons we must learn in order to grow in this lifetime and spiritually evolve.
