Shitro and the deceased: ¿signs of success?

Post by jet.urgyen »

Hello,

I would like to ask for typical signs of success in the help for the deceased person to whom the shitro practice is dedicated.

afaik there is a 1 and 1/2 month tops for the process to conclude, so during this period practice should be dedicated every day preferably at the same hour.

¿how can i know with certainty that the deceased is good, happy and at peace? ¿is one dream or vision something concluding? mind can be tricky, so i would like to know a way to make it clear.

Feel free to PM me if needsby.

Cheers!

There is some kind of grass that you can put on your altar as an effigy, but I forget what the signs are, if any.

Signs of failure also are useful
