The Past Lives Podcast

This week I am reading from my book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction Alien Abduction: Shocking UFO Encounters – Volume 1' For decades, people around the world have reported encounters that defy explanation, missing time, strange craft, non-human beings, and memories that surface under hypnosis. These accounts are evidence of a hidden reality unfolding around us. In Aspects of Alien Abduction: Shocking UFO Encounters – Volume 1, podcaster and hypnotherapist Simon Bown examines the phenomenon through the voices of those who claim to have experienced it firsthand. Drawing on years of research where the author interviewed each person at length, this book explores the recurring elements that appear again and again in abduction accounts: mysterious visitors, medical examinations, telepathic communication, hybrid programs, and encounters that challenge our understanding of consciousness itself. Rather than sensationalism, Simon Bown focuses on patterns, what experiencers consistently report, how their stories intersect, and what these similarities might reveal about the nature of the phenomenon. Disturbing, fascinating, and deeply thought-provoking, Aspects of Alien Abduction invites readers to examine one of the most controversial mysteries of our time. The implications for humanity are profound.

This week I'm talking to Brendan Murphy about his book 'Reverse Engineering the Afterlife' Thousands of near-death experience accounts have been documented across five decades of clinical research. Esoteric traditions have described post-mortem states for millennia. Depth psychology mapped archetypal transition imagery throughout the twentieth century. None of these bodies of work talk to each other. The result is a field fragmented by disciplinary silos, ideological commitments, and the assumption that symbolic content is equivalent to literal description. Materialists dismiss the data. Religionists literalise the imagery. New Age frameworks conflate symbol with destination. Reverse Engineering the Afterlife operates at the structural level, extracts the cross-tradition pattern, and builds a named explanatory model— the Consciousness Transition Model—that accounts for the data without requiring faith in any tradition's myth-language. Bio Brendan D. Murphy is an independent consciousness researcher and author working at the fault line between empirical science and the world's esoteric traditions—testing both against evidence rather than taking either on faith. His new book, Reverse Engineering the Afterlife (2026), introduces the Consciousness Transition Model (CTM)—a structured, cross-disciplinary framework for understanding what consciousness encounters during and after death. Built from over two decades of research across near-death studies, reincarnation data, systems thinking, depth psychology, and esoteric philosophy, the CTM is not a belief system, but an operational map. His first book, The Grand Illusion: A Synthesis of Science and Spirituality (2012)—drawing from quantum physics, consciousness research, psi phenomena, and comparative philosophy—established him as one of the most thorough independent researchers in the field.

In this remastered episode I am talking to Dr. Linda Backman about her book 'Souls on Earth: Exploring Interplanetary Past Lives'. In this "groundbreaking" book, a past-life regression therapist "offers credible evidence of evolved interplanetary souls incarnate in human bodies" (Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind). In her work as a regression hypnotherapist, Dr. Linda Backman frequently meets with individuals who have had past lives on planets and realms beyond Earth. These individuals—called interplanetary souls—have agreed to come to Earth to help support the evolution of the planet as well as to develop themselves and learn lessons for spiritual advancement. In Souls on Earth, Dr. Backman shares her fascinating work with interplanetary souls. This book explores the characteristics of interplanetary souls so that if you are one, you will be able to understand more about your life purpose and cope with the special challenges that come with an incarnation on Earth. Learn how to identify IP souls and discover how they can assist humanity's evolution. Explore ways to support yourself or loved ones who may be IP souls. For many people struggling with difficult lessons or trying to find meaning, this book opens the door to new understandings and the potential for peace. Bio Dr. Linda Backman, licensed psychologist and regression therapist, has been in private practice for 47 years. Since 1993, Dr. Backman has guided innumerable individuals in regression hypnotherapy to access their past and between lives/higher self. In this way, she assists people to more fully recognize their Soul Essence Psychology, combining our current life experiences with who we are as a soul throughout our many lifetimes and as an immortal soul. Regression hypnotherapy allows the client to understand their Soul Design of past lives, soul origin, soul and life mission, soul progress, soul relationships, and more. Dr. Backman's work, includes guiding soul regressions, speaking and writing, as well as training others in soul regression hypnotherapy both in the US and abroad. Dr. Backman has a profound commitment to deepening and heightening individual spiritual progress, as well as fostering a more universal understanding and awareness of the path of soul development, leading to greater wisdom and acceptance among all people and cultures worldwide. Linda studied and co-taught with Dr. Michael Newton, author of the seminal books on Life Between Lives regression therapy, and was a co-creative, founding member of the Society for Spiritual Regression Board (now The Newton Institute). In 1997, Dr. Backman and her husband, Dr. Earl Backman, established The Ravenheart Center (www.RavenHeartCenter.com), a Mystery School in Boulder, Colorado, dedicated to guiding individuals to discover their soul path. Dr. Backman is the author of Bringing Your Soul to Light: Healing Through Past Lives and the Time Between, published by Llewellyn Worldwide (2009); The Evolving Soul: Spiritual Healing Through Past Life Exploration (Llewellyn 2014); Souls on Earth: Exploring Interplanetary Past Lives (Llewellyn 2018); Soul Design: A Regressionist's Guide to Past Lives, Origins, and Purpose (Llewellyn 2025); and a frequent guest on numerous programs, such as Coast to Coast, Gaia TV, James Van Praagh and others.

This week I am reading from Tony Christie's book 'Death — You Gotta Love It: Choosing Love over Fear in Life's Greatest Transition'. Based on three main premises, Death - You Gotta Love It takes you beyond the fear of death and into a vibrantly fulfilling life. First, there are only two ways of being: in fear or in love. Second, humanity's greatest fear is of death. And third, when you choose to love death, you choose a way of life that cultivates love for all life, and a greater sense of peace and joy. Departing from traditional reactions such as anger, denial, fear, grief, and loss, Death - You Gotta Love It brings a new approach to death, one that is both exciting and invigorating. A more radical, proactive approach, whereby the reader takes ownership of their own mortality and, in so doing, frees oneself from negative thinking and emotions about their pending death. A vital element in humanity's evolution and advancement, Death - You Gotta Love It is part of a great shift into higher consciousness, moving you from fear to love and taking you on a journey of exploration so that, when your time comes, you'll be well prepared and ready for - perhaps even looking forward with excitement to - the adventure of death. Bio Tony Ærcyus Christie is a Messenger of Oneness, mystic, and spiritual teacher. He brings messages and teachings of oneness through his healing and teaching work. He left his senior management job in the Irish public service to follow his heart in the area of energy healing and sharing new information and energies that he is accessing on higher dimensions. He is founder of a new healing modality based on the labyrinth called Melchizedek Labyrinth Healing. He accesses high-vibrational energetic devices known as Golden Sphere Energetics to share with humanity. Tony is the author of the books Labyrinth: Your Path to Self Discovery and The Book of Nothing and Everything, and the creator of the Labyrinth Wisdom Cards. Tony presents workshops all over the world. He speaks at events and conferences with a view to inspiring and uplifting those present. Tony is a lifetime member of the Labyrinth Society, a qualified reflexologist, a Reiki Master, Advanced PSYCH-K facilitator, Certified Space Clearing practitioner, and a practitioner of Kriya Yoga. https://www.amazon.com/Death-Gotta-Choosing-Greatest-Transition/dp/1917704445 https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm talking to Cyrus Kirkpatrick about his book 'The Afterlife and Beyond: An Examination of Life After Death by an Out-of-Body Explorer'. If the afterlife is real, what does that mean for our lives? For society? In a second feature book by afterlife and supernatural writer Cyrus Kirkpatrick, these questions are poised as the consequences of an afterlife are explored in relation to subjects from cryogenics to artificial intelligence and the origins of life. In addition, objective evidence for the afterlife is scrutinized, with detailed out-of-body experiences and trips through other realms reported, including helpful information about how we can connect ourselves to other dimensions and reunite with loved ones. Bio Cyrus Kirkpatrick released Understanding Life After Death in 2015 followed by The Afterlife and Beyond in 2018. Both of these books investigated realities of the Spiritualism movement, scientific investigations into survival of consciousness. During this time, Cyrus has appeared as a speaker for the Afterlife Research Education Institute, and numerous media appearances. This also included the founding of the Afterlife Topics and Metaphysics YouTube and Facebook communities. Cyrus's focus shifted primarily into direct, clairaudient communications with “worlds beyond Earth”, including verifiable or cross corresponding telepathic sessions that relate to often “grand sagas” that exist beyond our one planet, and how many subjects link together, including life after death often misidentified as a spirit world but is actually a higher reality, magical cosmos that is both physical and endlessly ancient. This discovery led to the forthcoming release of the book The Cosmic Shift of Mankind which documents many communications with important characters from Nikola Tesla to forces of the higher multiverse continuously spreading a message about a ‘5th density or ‘5d Shift' that will bring Planet Earth into the realities beyond our own. That includes entire worlds which we would deem as our afterlife realities that are ‘extraordinary' versions of our planet and culture. https://www.amazon.com/Afterlife-Beyond-Examination-Out-Body-ebook/dp/B07FRKJ78R https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This episode I am reading from Jeffrey Keene's book 'Fire in the Soul: Reincarnation from Antietam to Ground Zero' I had never given reincarnation much thought, nor had I ever seen a psychic, but both of these elements came together one Halloween night. That one night was to change my outlook on life and my way of thinking forever. That evening started a progression of puzzle pieces floating into place. As each piece gently touched down, it added to a picture, a portrait that reinforced a strong case for reincarnation. My story weaves a tapestry of mystery and history, of love and the horrors of warfare. The journey was and still is a wondrous one, sometimes funny but at other times sad and physically painful. I force my beliefs on no one. I only ask that the readers open their minds to their own experiences, to take a good look at the world around them. As for me, I have no choice but to believe in reincarnation. I lived the story, and every word is true. Join me on an amazing journey through the eyes of two people: one a Georgian, the other a Connecticut Yankee. Similarities between the two go far beyond coincidence. They think alike, look alike, and even share facial scars. Their lives are so intertwined that they appear to be one. Half of this equation, Jeffrey J. Keene, a retired Assistant Fire Chief from affluent Westport, Connecticut. The other half, John B. Gordon, Confederate General, Army of Northern Virginia, died January 9, 1904. I would be lead into a 10-year travel odyssey that included the battlefields of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Georgia as well as the library of Congress. Gathering information from official records, wartime reports and even love letters, I uncovered many parallels between my own life and that of General Gordon. Unexpectedly a trip to the emergency room on my thirtieth birthday with facial pain that mimicked a wound General Gordon received 115 years before at the battle of Antietam when he was thirty years of age. My hospital visit was more than a decade before I first heard his name. September 11, 2001 would start a new chapter in my life, literarily. In 2007, I was summoned to an online Reincarnation Forum dedicated to Children's past lives. I was called in to aid in verifying a child's information because of my knowledge of Fire Department operations and equipment. In less than a week, from the information given to me by the mother, on and off the forum, I discovered the boy was relating a lifetime of a New York City firefighter who perished in the events of September 11, 2001. After hearing his story, I call the young boy, The Phoenix. Bio Jeffrey J. Keene was born in Danbury, Connecticut in 1947 and grew up in the town of Westport, CT, attending Staples High School. He joined the Air Force following his graduation in 1965. Following basic training, Keene specialized as a medic. While serving in Texas, Alabama, Florida, and New Jersey; he rose to the rank of sergeant, and received an honorable discharge in 1969. After returning to Westport, Keene joined the town's fire department in 1976. In his thirty five years in the fire service, Keene studied Fire Science at Norwalk State Technical College and attended Delaware State Fire School, where he progressed to the Fire Instructor level. One of the state's first Hazardous Materials Technicians, he also developed a Mock Crash Program to educate local high school students on the dangers of drinking and driving, gaining recognition for his efforts from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). Jeffrey Keene was a decorated firefighter and an Assistant Fire Chief with the Westport, Connecticut Fire Department (retired 2003) Asst. Chief Keene spent his last fifteen years as a shift commander and was charged with the development and implementation of Standard Operation Procedures for the department. An accomplished Civil War researcher and speaker (having visited most of the major battle sites in the North and South) he has lectured on Civil War topics to groups ranging from elementary students to peer experts. Mr. Keene makes a strong case for reincarnation in his book titled Someone Else's Yesterday. Through years of research and travel, he has amassed compelling evidence of a former life during the American Civil War; that of Confederate General John B. Gordon. Keene resides with his wife Anna in Trumbull, Connecticut. https://www.amazon.com/Fire-Soul-Reincarnation-Antietam-Ground-ebook/dp/B09LR63BZ3 https://jeffreykeene.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I have two guests, Zach Tavcar and Fran Bailey. Where we discuss their near death experiences. Zach Tavcar was born in Reno, Nevada. He has always had an innate feeling of wanting to be an example, and of service, to others since his earliest memories. As he grew into adolescence he began to diminish this inner guidance, not fully comprehending the importance of this inner yearning. At 14, Zach was diagnosed with leukemia. Throughout the 10 months of intensive treatment Zach found an inner strength, with the incredible support of his family, in which he unconsciously realized the power of human potential. However, at 16, Zach relapsed. His treatment was much different the second time; it was more difficult because he had a bone-marrow transplant, but more importantly, because he watched as young children, 6 months old to 18 years old, and their parents and family members, suffered immensely. The suffering he observed, the death, the pain, caused Zach to enter on to the path he is now continuing to walk. His asking of, "WHY?!" has been the greatest quest-ion he could have ever asked. Why are these children suffering, why are these parents suffering, why are we all suffering, and how can we reduce this suffering? Zach has found many answers to his questions and continues to awaken each day the deeper understandings of the heart, in which we all have the answers to our questions. Zach's passion for helping others through his knowledge on nutrition and exercise was cultivated in part by his avid athletics throughout the entirety of his childhood and adolescence. As Zach continued his universal asking, he began to remember a deeper knowing and wanted to help others through his ability to teach them how to heal their bodies and minds as he did. As he remembered from authors, teachers, and unbeknownst guru's, Zach realized a healthy and fulfilling life not only includes proper nutrition, physical activity, healthy relationships with friends, family, and lovers, but most importantly a healthy mind and outlook towards life, a deeper understanding which we all possess. https://www.zachtavcar.com/   Fran Bailey At age 12, Fran Bailey had a remarkable Near-Death Experience (NDE). That same year, she also had an extraordinary encounter with non-human intelligences that profoundly changed her life, sparking a spiritual journey that transformed her understanding of existence and, she says, enabled her to heal herself from stage-4 cancer. As a child, Fran's world was surrounded in music, dance, singing and believing in positive thought and philosophy. Her connection with the metaphysical world was a natural state of being. She started at the age of 4 dancing in a barn with a ballet barre she could never reach, but it didn't matter ~ she was hooked. There was something about expressing emotions, moving energy with her body that fit like a glove. Fran went on to receive a BFA in dance, and for many years performed, choreographed, and taught children, adults, private and group classes. Fran still performs when she gets the chance. Her interest and training in energy healing started about 16 years ago, with world–renowned energy healer, Rosalyn L. Bruyere, thus connecting with the metaphysical aspect of her life. For twelve years Fran worked as an energy healer for the Alliance Institute for Integrative Medicine under Drs. Steve and Sandi Amoils in Cincinnati, Ohio. Subsequently, Fran began developing her meditation and psychic skills with noted psychic healers John Friedlander and Gloria Hemsher, authors of the definitive books Basic Psychic Development and Psychic Psychology. Fran's additional work in the field includes five years as an energy consultant for the staff at The Affinity Center for ADD adult and children in Cincinnati, Ohio. Recently, through Deborah A. Ooten PhD, founder/director of The Conscious Living Center, Fran received her certification as an accredited Enneagram teacher and trainer. Combining these skills into a method of teaching has been an ongoing goal for Fran. Her passion is to integrate all of these tools to open up the conscious mind, body and spirit. She integrates and offers her experience and skills to her clients and students through a variety of consultations in energy communication. https://franbaileyhealer.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I am talking to the medium Traci Bray. Bio Traci Bray was born and raised in Clinton, Iowa.  She was 5 years old when the first known deceased person appeared to her. Although recognition of life beyond a physical existence was real for Traci, it wasn't until the mid-1990's that she began offering public readings at the urging of friends. Via word-of-mouth, accolades of her skills widened. Her clientele has expanded across the US, and to all continents save the poles! Traci's professional background and enhanced communications skills lend themselves to her readings. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Family Services and a Master's in Law Enforcement and Justice Administration. For over two decades prior to reading publicly she assisted individuals, families and systems toward change for improvement in the fields of domestic violence, sexual assault, corrections and public transportation. She served as a curriculum writer and trainer for two state-level law enforcement agencies in the Midwest. It is a natural that in addition to families, local, state and federal law enforcement agencies have requested and received her confidential input. In late 2022, Traci published an oracle card deck, "The Soul Lives On - Life-Affirming Channeled Messages from Spirit", and an accompanying Journaling Workbook, both with Stacy A. Macy, JD. More recently, a number of thoughts and quotes of Traci's appear in Dr. Julie Beischel's oracle card deck, "Guidance for Grief: Wisdom to Help You Stay Connected to Your Loved One After Loss", and her book From the Mouths of Mediums, which provides interviews with other Windbridge Certified Research Mediums which Beischel directs. In 2000, Traci was filmed by the BBC for a documentary, produced by Justine Picardie, on mediums. That experience later materializes in Picardie's book, If the Spirit Moves You: Love and Life Beyond Death. Additionally she appears in the book Truth About Medium, by Dr. Gary Schwartz, former Director of the University of Arizona's coveted VERITAS program, where she served as a “Research Medium”. Other research mediums with VERITAS have included John Edward, George Anderson and Allison DuBois, the latter on whom the NBC series "Medium" is based. Windbridge Certified Research Mediums include Laura Lynne Jackson, Debra Martin and Kim Russo.  Key media pieces include:    Kansas City NBC affiliate KSHB produced a feature story on Traci's work;    Quoted in CNN online article    Contributor to Dr. Julie Beischel's (Director of Research, Windbridge) award winning essay for the (Robert) Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies    Contributor to e.books published by Windbridge including  Among Mediums: a Scientists Quest for Answers    Presenter, The Compassionate Friends regional conference    Presenter, The Vail Symposium  (see photo at left of Traci, Dr. Julie Beischel, and Eliza Rey, another WCRM    Guest on "Kansas City Live"    Feature article in the "Kansas City Star"      Numerous articles about her work have materialized in a number of newspapers and magazines across the Midwest including the "Kearney Press," "Kansas City Wellness," and "Evolving." Today Traci is a Level #5 Certified Research Medium with The Windbridge Research Center (see http://windbridge.org) in Tucson, AZ. Previously she served as a Certified Medium with the Forever Family Foundation in New York.   Traci is a relaxed, dynamic, and engaging public speaker and reader. She can be hilarious! A passion for writing finds her working on several projects from her home which is on the National Historic Register in Kansas City, Missouri. Traci's readings come from Spirit in the 'spirit-of' personal enlightenment.  To some recipients, they also provide entertainment and certainly, enjoyment.  Every beneficiary of a reading has free will to choose as they see fit for their own life.  Individuals are responsible for their interpretation of the reading as well as how or if they incorporate it into their own life via thought, word and deed. https://tracibray.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm reading from Samantha Leifker's book 'Born Awakened: An Otherworldly True Story' They intervened in my life before I could even speak, and they've guided me ever since. I was born and raised in a poltergeist house, where they trained me in spiritual warfare. I was taken, I was tested, I was shown, and it has only just begun. From angels to greys to UFOs, every encounter I've had until now is detailed in this book, and I hold nothing back. The first thirty years of my life have been filled with paranormal events, out-of-body experiences, meetings with the dead, and contact with many forms of NHI. Extrasensory perception appears to be a result of my exposure to the supernatural, and so do the wild synchronicities that flood my life. We are spiritual beings not confined to the physical, and we have the ability to journey into realms that conventional thinking denies. It's time for humanity to awaken, rediscover our inheritance, and return to the path we were always meant to walk. We're capable of far more than we've been conditioned to believe. The sounds, colors, and energies beyond the veil transcend anything we perceive in the physical world. Even though written language cannot fully convey their depth, I do my best to put each experience into words. Bio From her earliest memory, Samantha Leifker has been in contact with beings unseen by the physical eye. These encounters began in her childhood home, alive with poltergeist activity, and continued throughout her life. She's always carried a sense of greater purpose and has known she is destined to share what she's seen. Her debut book offers a deeply personal account of every paranormal experience she's had to date, each one shattering the boundaries of known truth. Samantha is a fierce and devoted mother of two, a small business owner, and a wild-hearted nature enthusiast. She finds joy in all forms of art, studying wild edible plants, handcrafting natural skincare, and resting in the sun as birds sing across her countryside home. https://www.amazon.com/Born-Awakened-Otherworldly-True-Story-ebook/dp/B0GNC8CSDT https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm reading from Ingrid Honkala's book 'Dying to See the Light: A Scientist's Guide to Reawakening (Without Nearly Dying)' What if the greatest awakening of your life did not require dying… but remembering? Opening with forewords by pioneering near-death experience researchers Dr. Pim van Lommel and Dr. Eben Alexander, Dying to See the Light bridges science, spirituality, and firsthand experience to reveal a deeper understanding of consciousness and the true nature of life. For centuries, humanity has searched for answers to life's deepest questions: Why are we here? What is consciousness? What lies beyond the limits of the physical world? In this powerful and deeply personal book, scientist and near-death experiencer Ingrid Honkala, PhD, shares the insights gained through multiple near-death experiences and a lifetime of inner exploration. Blending scientific understanding with spiritual wisdom, she reveals a profound truth: The Light we seek has always lived within us. More than a story, this book is a practical guide to awakening. Through simple yet transformative reflections and practices, you will learn how to: Reconnect with your inner awareness and presence Transform suffering into growth and wisdom Cultivate forgiveness, self-love, and inner peace Navigate life with clarity, trust, and purpose This is not a book about dying. It is a guide to living with greater clarity, wisdom, and love. The Light you are searching for is already within you. Are you ready to remember? Bio I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia, where I lived with my parents and three sisters. Although I grew up in the mountains my love for the ocean started when my parents brought me to see it for the very first time at the age of four. I perceived it as a huge blanket and told my mom that some day I was going to find what was hidden under it. At five I told my dad, “When I grow up I am going to become a marine scientist.” I pursued my dream and went to college where I graduated as a Marine Biologist and later continued my graduate studies until I got a Ph.D. in Marine Sciences with emphasis in Biological Oceanography. My passion for my career had brought me to be a very successful scientist in this field. Since I was very little my parents discovered that my learning abilities were astonishing but that was not all. Later they also discovered that I could see and hear things that no one else could. All this seemed to be tied up with the aftermath of a near-death experience (NDE) where I drowned at the age of two. Not long after, I started to communicate with Beings of Light who have guided me through a journey of miracles, not just around the world but also through the barriers of time. With them I have been able to access past life experiences of myself and others, and future events. As I grew up and remembered my drowning, I could never get away from the question, “How could I have seen my body lifeless if I was still alive?” This experience made it clear to me that there was an existence beyond the body. Before I was quite three, I was gifted with knowing that I have existed for a very long time. In fact, I have come and gone in different realms many more times. https://www.ingridhonkala.com/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GDQF9T2W https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I am talking to Dr Gregory Shushan about his book 'Near-Death Experience in Indigenous Religions'. Near-death experiences are known around the world and throughout human history. They are sometimes reported by individuals who have revived from a period of clinical death or near-death and they typically feature sensations of leaving the body, entering and emerging from darkness, meeting deceased friends and relatives, encountering beings of light, judgment of one's earthly life, feelings of oneness, and reaching barriers, only to return to the body. Those who have NDEs almost invariably understand them as having profound spiritual or religious significance. In this book, Gregory Shushan explores the relationships between near-death experiences, shamanism, and beliefs about the afterlife in traditional indigenous societies in Africa, North America, and Oceania. Drawing on historical accounts of the earliest encounters with explorers, missionaries, and ethnologists, this study addresses questions such as: Do ideas about the afterlife commonly originate in NDEs? What role does culture play in how people experience and interpret NDEs? How can we account for cross-cultural similarities and differences between afterlife beliefs? Though NDEs are universal, Shushan shows that how they are actually experienced and interpreted varies by region and culture. As the historical documents reveal, in North America, they were commonly valorized, and attempts were made to replicate them through shamanic rituals. In Africa, however, they were largely considered aberrational events with links to possession or sorcery. In Oceania, Micronesia corresponded more to the African model, while Australia had a greater focus on afterlife journey shamanism. Polynesia and Melanesia showed an almost casual acceptance of the phenomenon as reflected in numerous myths, legends, and historical accounts. This study examines the continuum of similarities and differences between NDEs, shamanism, and afterlife beliefs in dozens of cultures throughout these regions. In the process, it makes a valuable contribution to our knowledge about the origins of afterlife beliefs around the world and the significance of related experiences in human history. Gregory Shushan explores the relationship between NDEs and beliefs about the afterlife in traditional indigenous societies.

This week I am reading from RC Clarence' book 'There Is No Such Thing As Death: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death and How You Can Prove It Yourself' What really happens after death? This book draws on the extensive clairvoyant investigations of C. W. Leadbeater and Annie Besant into thousands of people who crossed over into the afterlife. Learn what they discovered and how you can do the same. More than a century ago, clairvoyant investigators associated with the Theosophical tradition began systematically exploring the realms beyond the physical world and comparing their observations of individuals who had crossed into the afterlife. And based on those detailed investigations, this book presents a remarkably consistent picture of life after death—one that anyone can begin investigating for themselves. In this book you will discover:    What happens immediately after death    The nature of the astral and mental realms    The roles of reincarnation and karma    The purpose and meaning of life    How to develop clairvoyant perception This book is ideal for readers seeking:    Evidence-based insights into life after death    A clear explanation of the astral and thought planes    A synthesis of classical Theosophical research    Practical guidance for developing clairvoyant perception Discover why death may not be the end of life—but the beginning of a much larger journey of consciousness. Bio R. C. Clarence, PhD is a university professor, active yoga practitioner, and devoted student of the Ancient Wisdom. His writing style reflects the methods used in the classroom: an informal, conversational approach coupled with the use visual highlights, charts and examples that make the subject matter come alive. He has practiced the methods of clairvoyant development outlined in the book and has achieved results that exceeded his expectations. His goal in life is to share what he has learned with others so they can begin to awaken their own inner abilities. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GTBHKY4Y https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this remaster episode I'm talking to Claire Broad about her book 'Answers from Heaven: Incredible True Stories of Heavenly Encounters and the Afterlife' Answers from Heaven is for anyone who has ever wondered if there is an afterlife and if it is truly possible to contact the spirit world. In this compelling book, Sunday Times bestselling author Theresa Cheung and medium Claire Broad share the fascinating true stories of ordinary people who have experienced direct communication from the spirit world, and those who have received proof of survival through a reading with Claire. Answers from Heaven outlines the many different ways that heaven may answer our prayers, offer us comfort and provide proof of survival, and includes: - The top ten afterlife signs - What near-death experiences can tell us - The meaning of visions and dreams - The importance of intuition and coincidence - Advice on visiting a medium As well as examining the ways in which messages can come to us from the other side, Answers from Heaven outlines the latest scientific research on the afterlife and mediumship, and helps shed light on one of the most important questions about human experience - what happens after we die? It also shares the practical steps we can all take to become more attuned to the medium that lies within us and recognise the signs that heaven is calling. Bio From an early age, Claire became aware of non-ordinary states of consciousness and the continuity of awareness beyond physical death. These early experiences shaped a lifelong inquiry into the nature of consciousness, the soul, and what it means to live well as a human being. Rather than framing this as belief, Claire has spent nearly three decades exploring consciousness through direct practice, disciplined training, and grounded application. Originally known for her work in mediumship and spirit communication, Claire's practice naturally evolved as her understanding deepened. Today, her work sits at the intersection of soul awareness, consciousness studies, emotional safety, and lived human experience. She supports people in moving beyond fear-based spirituality, identity confusion, and spiritual overwhelm, and into a stable, embodied relationship with their own soul — one that supports clarity, regulation, purpose, and meaningful connection. Claire is widely respected for her down-to-earth, honest approach. She is often described as someone who brings spiritual understanding into practical life — without bypassing grief, trauma, or the realities of being human. Her work does not offer quick fixes or heightened states, but a deeper capacity to live with steadiness, meaning, and integrity. Alongside her private work, Claire teaches internationally and is regularly invited to lecture at established institutions, including the College of Psychic Studies in London. She has addressed sold-out audiences, led workshops and professional trainings, and facilitated immersive retreats focused on embodied soul awareness and conscious living. Through this work, she has supported thousands of people navigating loss, awakening, change, and personal transformation. Claire is the author of three bestselling books exploring the nature of the soul, consciousness, and life beyond death. Her writing is known for balancing spiritual insight with emotional honesty and psychological grounding, contributing to contemporary conversations around consciousness, meaning, and human potential. At the heart of Claire's work is a simple truth: • You are not broken. • You are not lost. • And you are not separate from your soul. Learning to live from that place changes how you think, relate, and live. https://www.clairebroad.com/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0714B4RQ9 https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For centuries, humanity has searched for answers to life's deepest questions: Why are we here? What is consciousness? What lies beyond the limits of the physical world? In this powerful and deeply personal book, scientist and near-death experiencer Ingrid Honkala, PhD, shares the insights gained through multiple near-death experiences and a lifetime of inner exploration. Blending scientific understanding with spiritual wisdom, she reveals a profound truth: The Light we seek has always lived within us. More than a story, this book is a practical guide to awakening. Through simple yet transformative reflections and practices, you will learn how to: Reconnect with your inner awareness and presence Transform suffering into growth and wisdom Cultivate forgiveness, self-love, and inner peace Navigate life with clarity, trust, and purpose This is not a book about dying. It is a guide to living with greater clarity, wisdom, and love. The Light you are searching for is already within you. Are you ready to remember? Bio I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia, where I lived with my parents and three sisters. Although I grew up in the mountains my love for the ocean started when my parents brought me to see it for the very first time at the age of four. I perceived it as a huge blanket and told my mom that some day I was going to find what was hidden under it. At five I told my dad, “When I grow up I am going to become a marine scientist.” I pursued my dream and went to college where I graduated as a Marine Biologist and later continued my graduate studies until I got a Ph.D. in Marine Sciences with emphasis in Biological Oceanography.

In this Remaster episode I talk to Dr. Alan Hugenot. We talk about his Near Death Experience and his book The Death Experience: What it is like when you die. His book describes what you will experience as you die. Giving details of the death process and your journey into the afterlife based on the author's own Near-Death experience where he died, went out-of-body into the afterlife, and returned to a second life in the same body. His experiences are collated with the Tibetan Book of the Dead; the Egyptian Book of the Dead; and current research on the Near Death-experience by the International Association for Near Death Studies (IANDS); Dr. Ian Stevensens's research on Children who Remember Past Lives at the University of Virginia; and studies of After-Death Communication at the University of Arizona. Giving the current science on consciousness survival while explaining quantum mathematics and the afterlife postulated to exist in dark energy located in alternative dimensions. Bio Dr. Hugenot began the study of mediumship more than a dozen years ago strictly as a scientist, intending to establish scientifically that this phenomenon was valid, and that communication with deceased surviving consciousness was indeed possible. Before giving his first reading he trained as a medium for 7 years within the Spiritualist tradition. This included completing the 4 year course with the Morris Pratt Institute, outside Milwaukie, Wisconsin, and also traveling to Lily Dale outside Buffalo, N.Y. to take week long seminars. Finally. he made three separate trips to England attending a total of five weeks of courses at Arthur Findlay College, of psychic science, outside Stansted, Essex, UK. So that today he is a member of the Licentiate Ministers & Certified Mediums Society of the NSAC. Currently, he regularly “demonstrates” Evidential Mediumship from the platform at Spiritualist services, and in circles (seances).

This episode I am reading from Nanci Danison's book '33 Souls Who Met God: Accounts of Atheists, Buddhists, and Christians Who Died and Met the Same God' This new Near-death Experience research explains why NDErs have different experiences after they die. "33 Souls" answers whether your religion or human behavior make any difference in what happens to you after death. This is the book that will allow you to understand what happens when a near-death experiencer does not return to the human body right after the life review. "33 Souls" will remove all worry you might have about death, crossing over, and what awaits you on the other side. 33 Souls Who Met God provides firsthand, in person reports of the true energetic nature of God/Source/the Creator from those who have literally been inside its energetic field. These souls—who in human incarnation were atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, Hindus, Catholics, Christians, and held various other spiritual beliefs—returned from death and the afterlife believing in the same non-humanoid, all-encompassing, all-loving Creator of everything. Their incredible journeys show that regardless of our divisive pre-death human beliefs, we all return to reunification with the same Source of life and love of which we are a part, and with each other. The 33 Souls learned the eternal truth about our origin, the purpose of human life, and our ultimate destiny in eternal life. Bio Nanci L. Danison, BS, BA, JD, retired from practicing law as a health lawyer in Ohio, having been in practice for 36 years, first with a prestigious, Midwestern, 270-attorney regional law firm, and then as a solo practitioner. She graduated from Morris Harvey College magna cum laude with a BA in Psychology and a BS in Biology/Chemistry. Her Doctorate in Jurisprudence is from The Ohio State University College of Law. Ms. Danison has for years been recognized by Martindale-Hubbell's "Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers" as one of the top 5% of lawyers in the country. Prior to 1994, Ms. Danison devoted her attention to developing a national reputation in the fields of Medicare fraud defense and general health law; served on the Boards of Directors of the National Kidney Foundation of Ohio, Inc. and the Gestalt Institute of Ohio; and represented the local Bar Association on TV interview segments on the Noon News for several years. Ms. Danison now writes books and conducts workshops detailing her memories of an extensive afterlife experience following her death in March 1994. After that experience, Ms. Danison left the security of her law firm and set up her own firm, earned her private pilot's license, and became a licensed private detective. She continued her community service on the Boards of Directors of The Columbus Cancer Clinic and of National Church Residences. Her expanded afterlife experience provided Nanci with the unique opportunity to view human life from the perspective of one who has transformed into a Being of Light, like the Beings of Light other near-death experiencers encounter. Ms. Danison learned how to consciously manifest reality, hold multiple simultaneous levels of self-awarenesss, access Universal Knowledge on a wide variety of subjects, recognize and experience unconditional love, apply self-healing techniques, and utilize many other abilities natural to us all in our spiritual state. During her afterlife experience, she viewed the history of planet Earth and how religion developed and has been woven into the fabric of human evolution. Just at the moment when Nanci was to merge fully and finally into the Source/God, she decided to return to her body in order to bring back messages of hope and love, which are contained in her various works. Since that original visit to the afterlife, Ms. Danison has died twice more and returned to the afterlife to meet with groups of Light Beings that monitor the mission she undertook at the end of her 1994 visit, i.e., to tell anyone who would listen what she experienced and learned in the afterlife. She has also had multiple near-death experiences when being treated in a hospital. Nanci was also privileged to share part of her mother's going into the Light experience when her mother died. https://nancidanison.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GQBTSY5T https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm talking to Richard Estep. He is a paramedic and paranormal investigator. We discuss his experiences as a paranormal investigator and his books detailing the many places he has witnessed extraordinary events. We focus on his book 'The Devil's Coming To Get Me, The Haunting of Malvern Manor'. Malvern Manor has been many things over the course of its long life. In the late 1800s it was a hotel catering to travelers and businessmen; then it was converted into a rest home for the sick and infirm; and finally, it became a privately-owned care facility, providing a home for the physically and mentally challenged of six counties. It was often the last refuge for those suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, and severe behavioral disorders. Long after the building closed its doors for the final time, many people claim that some of those residents never left. Now a magnet for paranormal investigators, it is said that the abandoned rooms and hallways of Malvern Manor are haunted by the restless spirits of those who once called it home. Bio Richard Estep, author, paranormal investigator, and TV personality. You might have seen me on TV's Haunted Case Files (Paranormal Investigators in the UK) Haunted Hospitals, Paranormal Revenge, Paranormal Night Shift, Paranormal 911 (that's a lot of paranormals!) Destination Fear, or A Haunting. My love of all things ghostly began at a very young age, fed by staying in my grandparents' haunted house in England and by a constant stream of binge reading at my local library (Syston Library, you're the best!) I didn't begin to actually investigate hauntings until the mid-nineties, but when I started, the bug bit me and hasn't let go ever since. I took this passion with me when I moved to the United States in 1999, and finally formed the Boulder County Paranormal Research Society in 2006. These days, most of my cases are research projects for books. I started to write about my experiences in 2013, and now have north of 30 of books that are either on the market or contracted to be released in the near future. I make my living as a paramedic and clinical educator for a private ambulance company and hospital system. For three years, I gave tours at the infamous Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado — inspiration for Stephen King's The Shining. In the tiny amount of free time that does not involve paranormal investigation and writing about it, I am an unabashed geek, with a particular bias towards all things Star Wars. I have a Lego problem that may eventually require professional counseling if it gets any further out of hand. Perhaps above all else, I am a collector and reader of books. https://www.richardestep.net/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BKMPPCP https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm reading from Jenn Scott Pickett's book 'Reincarnation Explained without Religion: What Happens After Death, Why Some Children Remember Past Lives, and How Reincarnation Really Works' Reincarnation Explained without Religion explores one of humanity's oldest questions in a grounded, non-religious way: What happens after we die... and is it possible we live more than once? Drawing from past-life research, documented case studies, near-death experience accounts, and the work of both modern investigators and influential spiritual teachers, this book offers a clear, accessible introduction to how reincarnation is understood outside of formal religious tradition. It examines why some children remember past lives, how researchers have studied these cases, what near-death experiences may reveal about consciousness, and how experiential and intuitive perspectives have also shaped the modern conversation. Rather than promoting a belief system, this book focuses on explanation. It weaves together decades of research, historical patterns, therapeutic observations, and spiritual explorations to show why reincarnation continues to be seriously examined across scientific, clinical, and consciousness-based communities. Inside, you'll explore: • how reincarnation is studied outside of religion • why some children report detailed memories of previous lives • what both research and experiential traditions suggest about identity and memory • how population growth does not challenge reincarnation • what near-death experiences may reveal about consciousness • how past-life regression, intuitive accounts, and spiritual teachings fit into the broader picture • what a multi-lifetime perspective can mean for how we live now Written in a clear, conversational style, this book is designed for readers who are curious about past lives, consciousness, and life after death but who want an approach that is thoughtful, grounded, and free from doctrine. Whether you're drawn to reincarnation through science, spiritual inquiry, or simple curiosity, Reincarnation Explained without Religion offers a calm, accessible starting point for exploring one of the deepest questions of human existence. Bio Jenn Scott Pickett is a writer and independent researcher exploring consciousness, reincarnation, and the nature of identity beyond a single lifetime. Her work focuses on presenting reincarnation-related topics in a grounded, non-religious way, weaving together academic research, historical patterns, documented case studies, and intuitive inquiry. Rather than promoting a belief system, she is interested in translating complex or fringe-labeled ideas into language that is accessible, thoughtful, and human. Jenn is a certified past life regressionist and hypnotherapist, a background that informs both her research and her perspective on memory, consciousness, and the ways identity may extend beyond one lifetime. Her work has also been shaped by personal experiences that deepened her interest in how consciousness may interact with the physical form. She writes about past-life research, children's memories, life-between-lives accounts, and the emotional and psychological implications of a multi-lifetime perspective. In addition to her books, Jenn shares essays and reflections with a growing online readership through her website and social platforms.

In this episode, I look at the Bangs sisters, two of the most famous spirit mediums working in Chicago in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Lizzie and May Bangs became especially well known for their “precipitated” spirit portraits: images said to appear on prepared canvases during sittings, rather than being painted in the ordinary way before the audience's eyes. The episode focuses on who the sisters were, how their portrait sittings were described, and why the paintings became such an important part of American Spiritualist culture. I examine the methods later associated with their work, including the use of framed canvases, window light, and controlled viewing conditions, and I discuss why these portraits were treated as something more than séance curiosities. They were framed, preserved, displayed, and compared with photographs of the dead, which gave them a lasting place in Spiritualist collections. I also spend time on the pictures themselves as physical objects. Did they look like ordinary oil paintings? The historical descriptions suggest something more unusual. Later writers and museum accounts often describe the Bangs portraits as smooth in finish, with little or no visible brushwork, rich color, and an appearance closer to softly blended portraiture than to heavily worked oil paint. Some accounts compared the effect to airbrushing. The episode also covers specific surviving examples, including portraits linked to Queen Victoria and to Emily and Rose Carson in the Camp Chesterfield collection. Just as important, I look at reports from sitters who said the finished image resembled the deceased closely, sometimes down to details such as beard style, jewelry, or coloring. This is an episode about mediumship, mourning, portraiture, and the question of what people believed they were seeing when a face from the dead appeared on canvas. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode I am talking to Barbara Banner about mediumship and the afterlife. Bio A Calling from the Other Side. It all started with mysterious happenings—objects flying off shelves, fans turning on with lights flickering in rooms (even one without a bulb!), and glowing orbs dancing through my videos. The universe was sending a message, and I had no choice but to listen. Little did I know, this was a family secret spanning generations! What I thought was beginner's luck was actually a destiny waiting to unfold. Since then, I have trained with some of the world's most renowned Psychic, Mediumship, and Trance mentors, deepening my connection to the spirit world. The messages I receive are profound — answers to your lingering questions, guidance when you need it most, and heartfelt connections to those who have passed but are still watching over you. Some profess their love, some seek forgiveness, and all want to remind you: they are never truly gone. With 35 years of experience supporting individuals in crisis — whether on crisis hotlines, in hospital ERs, or with the city's Crisis Response Team to help at the scene of a passing — I've seen firsthand the depth of emotions we carry. Spirit understands this, too. Readings can be deeply healing, joyful, even life-changing. And yes — many times, they can be surprisingly fun! Looking back, it's clear that every step of my journey has led me here. If you feel the pull to connect, to seek guidance, or simply to find peace, I would be honored to be your bridge to the other side.

In this episode I'm talking to Carol Bowman about her research into children with past life memories. What if you could see a loved one who has died, not in a future spiritual realm, but here and now, in this lifetime? It is possible, says Carol Bowman, author of Children's Past Lives and a pioneer in reincarnation studies. Based on in-depth research and direct observation of very young children, she shows in this groundbreaking book how common it is for beloved relatives to reincarnate into the same family. Typical families share how their children -- some as young as two and still in diapers -- speak spontaneously of intimate details from the lives of a family member they never knew. These true stories shed new light on age-old questions of family relationships: Do we choose our parents? What relationships survive death? What happens to the soul after a miscarriage or abortion? Bowman offers hope for anyone who has lost a beloved relative and longs to be reunited again. Bio Carol Bowman, M.S. is an internationally known author, lecturer, counselor, past life regression therapist, and pioneer in reincarnation studies.  Her books, Children's Past Lives (Bantam, 1997) and Return from Heaven (HarperCollins, 2001) are now classics in the reincarnation field, and have been published and read around the world in 22 foreign editions. Carol has been a practicing past life regression therapist for adults for more than 35 years.  She is a graduate of Simmons College in Boston.  She studied with the pioneers in the field of past life regression, and holds an M.S. in Counseling from Villanova University. Carol has been a leading spokesperson for children's past lives since the publication of her first book in 1997.  She is often invited to be a guest on TV and radio, and has appeared as a reincarnation expert on Oprah, Good Morning America, The Katie Show, Unsolved Mysteries, A&E, Discovery Channel, ABC Primetime, the BBC in England,  on The Art Bell Show, and on Coast to Coast with George Noory.  She has lectured in Brazil, Norway, Belgium, Ireland, Spain, Canada, the Netherlands, and at the Omega Institute and the Edgar Cayce Foundation. Children's Past Lives is the first non-academic book to explore the phenomenon of children's spontaneous past life memories.  It tells Carol's story of how her own children's past life memories led her to do research.  It also includes a guidebook for parents, to teach them how to recognize and respond when their children have these memories.  Her research presents reincarnation as a practical reality in our lives and within our families. Return from Heaven expands the research to cases of reincarnation within the same family. The true stories are emotionally charged because they document families as they discovered that a deceased family member has returned in a new body as a child in the family. It is a truly miraculous discovery for them. https://www.carolbowman.com/ https://www.amazon.com/stores/Carol-Bowman/author/B000APTGC8 https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm reading from Jeremy Spillane's book 'Joan and Roger Alive in the Afterlife' After the in-laws died, they gave us signs that they were still around ... See them on camera and read their story... After Joan died, many bizarre signs from her started appearing: TVs and lights switching on by themselves; the smell of Joan's perfume in the house; a wild bird of prey circling closely, twice, at a very low level. Nothing like this had ever been experienced when other relatives had died. But Roger, an avowed sceptic, wouldn't acknowledge the signs his late wife was sending. But after Roger died, new signs started to occur, signs from him. Everything that happened was carefully saved on photographs and videos, as well as on some ghost-hunting devices purchased a few months after Roger's death. Over the next twenty months, more than a hundred videos of Roger's spirit were recorded on the SLS camera, communicating with us. Joan and Roger Alive in The Afterlife is the true account of everything discovered and done while Joan and Roger gave the world the most mesmerising proof - on camera - that we really do live on in an afterlife. What more important message could we receive from our late loved ones? If you've ever wondered what happens when we die, here is the answer, confirmed by the oldest, most respected scientific organisation in the field - the Society for Psychical Research. Bio Jeremy Spillane had never written a book before - there was never anything that gripped him enough to make him embark on the massive amount of hard work that writing a book entails. In his twenties he was offered the job of Sub-Editor on the local newspaper, but after much internal debate he accepted a much better paid job in the electronics industry. By his very early sixties, he accepted that his life was pretty ordinary and simple, nothing Earth-shattering was ever going to happen to him…then his wife, Caroline's parents died. Joan died first, then a few years later, Roger. All of a sudden, he just had to write a book about what happened next… He lives in East Yorkshire, England. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GL4TDQWH https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this Remaster episode I am talking to Dr. Penny Sartori about her book 'The Transformative Power of Near-Death Experiences: How the Messages of NDEs Can Positively Impact the World' Discover the positive effects of NDEs in this “well-written and thought-provoking” study full of near-death experience true stories (Anita Moorjani, New York Times–bestselling author of Dying to Be Me). Near-death experiences (NDEs) are often transformative—not only on an individual level, but on a collective level too. This book contains a selection of inspiring stories from ordinary people whose extraordinary experiences have changed the course and direction of their lives, opening each and every one of them to the power of divine love. Recent years have seen a dramatic change of attitude towards near-death experiences. Unfortunately, the ongoing debates about near-death experiences have detracted greatly from their transformational effects and how empowering they can be for the whole of mankind. For those who experience them, near-death experiences often instill the knowledge that we are all interconnected and part of one great whole. This book aims to inspire people from all walks of life, creeds, cultures, and faiths to the transformational power of the message of near-death experiences—and to show how the love experienced during the NDE has the capacity to heal minds, bodies and souls. Bio Dr Penny Sartori worked as a nurse in a British hospital for 21 years, 17 of those being in Intensive Care. She is highly experienced and skilled in her role as an intensive care staff nurse; and has conducted unique and extensive research into the near-death experiences (NDEs) of her patients. In 2005 she was awarded a PhD for her research into NDEs. Dr Sartori's work has received worldwide attention and media coverage. She has spoken at many conferences both nationally and internationally and her work has received the attention of HRH King Charles. https://www.drpennysartori.com/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WLPS94B https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Religious and spiritual traditions have created complex cosmologies to answer these questions, but each tradition has a different answer, and we are left with profound uncertainty about deeper reality. As psychologist Matthew McKay reveals, we can each discover our own answers to these questions, our own inner truth, by connecting with the wisdom of our souls. In this guided workbook, McKay offers a step-by-step process to unleash the unconscious and intuitive wisdom held in the awareness of your soul.

In this remaster episode I'm talking to Carla Wills-Brandon about her book 'Heavenly Hugs: Comfort, Support, and Hope From the Afterlife' Does life end at death? The answer is no! The nearly 2,000 cases of departing visions and visitations from deceased relatives and friends collected by the author prove that there is life after death. At the moment of physical death, departed loved ones return to the dying to ease travel from this life to the next. Friends, family, and healthcare workers also report seeing these loving spiritual travel guides. Such encounters--reported by individuals from a wide variety of cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds--clearly illustrate that the personality, soul, or consciousness does not disappear or "die." To live our lives to the fullest, we must relieve ourselves of the false notion that death is the end. Departing visions help us do this. Heavenly Hugs will introduce you to both historical and modern-day departing visions, proving: The dying have been reuniting with the departed--for centuries Departed loved ones escort the dying to the other side or next dimension Something has often been seen leaving the physical body at the moment of death Famous people have experienced beautiful departing visions Bio Carla Wills-Brandon always wanted to do two things professionally: be of service to others, and write. After receiving a scholarship to California State University, Fresno, she graduated with high honors and a degree in psychology. She then went on to finish a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, Fresno, an APA approved school. Her husband, Michael “Tex” Brandon, also received his PhD in Clinical Psychology from this institution. After publishing eight books, and developing a successful private practice as a State Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Carla decided to go back to school. Not interested in treading a traditional education path she completed a two year course of study and dissertation in a Doctor of Philosophy in Holistic Nutrition program at Clayton College of Holistic Health. Her dissertation was titled “A Four Pronged Approach to the Holistic Treatment of Food Disorders.” Carla has published 12 books, one of which was a "Publishers Weekly Best Seller." Her most recent book, “Beyond The Chase: Breaking Your Obsessions That Sabotage True Intimacy” is proving to be a great success. She has also lectured across the U.S. and U.K., and has appeared on numerous national radio and television programs, such as Coast To Coast Radio with George Noory, Geraldo Rivera, Sally Jesse Raphael, Montel Williams, Art Bell's Coast To Coast Radio Show, Uri Geller's Coast To Coast Radio Show and Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher. Considered a relationship and trauma expert, many of her media appearances have been dedicated to discussing healthy intimacy, recovery from sexual abuse and trauma resolution. She has also appeared on several programs with her husband Michael, as the two clinicians often see couples in their private practice as a couple. Aside from her work with relationships, intimacy issues, sexual dysfunction, addiction, trauma resolution and grief, Carla has been investigating spirituality and other related phenomenon for over a decade. Her major radio show appearances have been dedicated to topics ranging from Near Death Experiences, After Death Communications, Deathbed Visions and Premonitions. She is considered to be one of the leading researchers into deathbed visions. In her private practice, grief work, lectures and workshops she teaches people how to integrate these unusual encounters into everyday living. Currently, she is working on another project involving the mysterious departing visions of the dying. Carla and her family live on an island just off the coast of Texas in a 100-year-old historical home, which recently survived hurricane Ike in 2008. She and her husband, Dr. Michael Brandon Ph.D., a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, have been in private practice for over two decades. They have been married for over 40 years. The Brandons have two sons, Joshua and Aaron. Along with this, they have one Golden Retriever, four kitties, one Chinese box turtle, and two Love Birds. Sadly, the tarantula did not survive hurricane Ike. https://www.drcarlawillsbrandon.com/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J1LYL55 https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm reading from Shannon Cain's book 'Journey of an Eternal Soul: My Journey Through Past Lives to Spiritual Awakening'  Transcend to a higher plane through this gripping memoir of spiritual discovery. Join me as I recount my profound past life regression journey that forever changed my perspective. Through enthralling sessions with the gifted La Donna Permenter, I accessed secrets from distant times and planets. I lived as a fierce warrior, devoted husband, accused witch, and extraterrestrial from an advanced civilization, recalling intricate details about these vivid past lives. My soul traveled through mystical realms where I encountered spirit guides and my council on the other side. They shed light on karmic patterns and offered guidance to align me with my true path. This experience awakened dormant gifts and abilities within me. The revelations from my soul's journey have already created a monumental spiritual awakening, improving all aspects of my life. But this is only the beginning. The adventure continues as I seek answers to humanity's biggest mysteries. What wisdom lies in the Akashic records? Where do our loved ones go when they pass? What is the meaning of life? Unlock these secrets and more as you join me on this captivating voyage of self-discovery! Bio My name is Shannon Cain, and I'm proof that the universe has a sense of humor. Born into the rolling hills of Kentucky where survival often mattered more than spirituality, I spent decades believing I was broken, weird, and fundamentally flawed. What I didn't understand was that the very experiences that felt like curses were actually preparing me for the greatest adventure of my life. I'm not a professional writer—I barely made it through high school and have always struggled with traditional learning. I'm not a certified therapist or ordained minister. I don't have letters after my name or degrees on my wall. What I do have is a direct line to experiences that transformed not just my understanding of life and death, but my entire relationship with reality itself. After twenty years of marriage to my soulmate and six children who continue to teach me what unconditional love looks like, I thought I had life figured out. I was successful in business, comfortable in my routines, and thoroughly convinced that the strange experiences of my childhood were just imagination running wild. Then the universe decided it was time for me to remember who I really was. This book chronicles that remembering—the past-life regressions that showed me I had lived before and would live again, the communications with deceased relatives that proved love transcends death, the journeys to other dimensions that revealed the magnificent architecture of consciousness itself. I'm sharing this story not because I want attention or credibility, but because I was given a mission: help others understand that the strange experiences they're having aren't signs of mental illness but evidence of awakening. The vivid dreams, the sense of knowing things you've never learned, the feeling that this world isn't quite real—trust those experiences. They're pointing you toward the truth of who you really are. We live in an incredible time when more humans are remembering their spiritual nature than ever before in recorded history. If this book finds its way to you, it's probably no accident. Something in your soul recognizes these truths, even if your logical mind wants to dismiss them. Listen to that recognition. Follow it. Because on the other side of that leap of faith lies a reality more beautiful and interconnected than you ever dared imagine. The whispers are calling you home. All you have to do is listen. Shannon Cain currently lives in Jacksonville, Florida, with his wife and children, where he continues to explore the endless frontier of consciousness while somehow managing to pay the bills and remember to take out the trash. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQJZN5XP   La Donna Permenter I have been driven my entire life with the desire to help people, by working in the medical field I have been able to fulfill that dream. I have spent 35 years in the medical field starting in the EMS services, then 25 (+) years in Pulmonary and Infectious Disease working with a wonderful group of doctors at the forefront of HIV-AIDS in the late 80's.  I also spent several years as a clinical manager for a large pain management practice. In 2009, I started my own company in the outpatient mental health field.  I built the practice into a group of 12 Psychotherapists,  including Licensed Mental Health Counselors, Licensed Clinical Social Workers and Psychologists. I enjoyed my many years in medicine, and I see now how all of this was also a part of my journey, by experiencing the interactions with all of the beautiful people that were my patients over the years. It was during this time that I realized there had to be another way to expand on the care to assist people further and in a much deeper way.  In medicine we focus on healing the body, but we must not forget to integrate the healing of the body, mind and the Soul. With this desire to expanded and connect at a deeper level, I sold the mental health practice and dedicated myself full time to what I now know is my true calling in life, completely. During many years of research and studying to expand my knowledge on this level of deeper care, I discovered Dolores Cannon's QHHT -Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique /PLR regression therapy. It was Dolores Cannon that developed the practice of QHHT; she developed this procedure over her 50 years of success, helping others awaken to their life purpose. I realized that this is my calling, and I promptly became a certified dedicated provider. I have spent hundreds of hours of study and practical hands on application throughout the studies of QHHT -Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique. https://yoursoulrecovery.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode I'm talking to Barbara Bartolome about her two near death experiences.Barbara is a two time NDEr.  Her first NDE resulted from a childhood illness at 18 months of age, when a high fever caused her to go into convulsions and stop breathing, which resulted in cardiac arrest.  As the ambulance arrived outside their home, her parents and older siblings witnessed her spontaneously regain consciousness, after an 8-10 minute period without heart or lung activity. She was not informed of this early-life event until her siblings finally disclosed it, when she was 53 years old.Her second NDE occurred when she went into cardiac arrest due to a radiology technician's error during a pre-surgery diagnostic procedure in 1987, at St. Francis Hospital in Santa Barbara. Finding herself above the x-ray table, she watched the medical team's resuscitation efforts and experienced the presence of a magnificent spiritual being.  After being successfully resuscitated, she accurately recounted to the astonished medical team their individual comments and actions during the resuscitation, which was quite alarming to the team. Because her medical team and the hospital staff then strictly avoided discussing her experience with her, she rarely spoke about it for over twenty years, until she found the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation (www.nderf.org) in 2007 and the IANDS organization (www.iands.org) in 2009.These organizations helped to connect her to others who had experienced NDEs and they expanded her understanding of death and the survival of consciousness beyond death, allowing her to finally assimilate her experiences, as well as to understand their impact upon her life and worldview. She considers her NDEs as incredible gifts, deeply feeling that it is her life purpose to share what they teach with others.  Barbara founded IANDS Santa Barbara in August 2011 and is strongly committed to the IANDS organization's purpose in promoting responsible, multi-disciplinary exploration of near-death and similar experiences, examining their effects on people's lives, and their implications for the change to our beliefs about life, death, afterlife, consciousness, and human purpose. She serves as the IANDS designated Group Mentor to all IANDS groups in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, and Hawaii. Barbara has talked about her NDE experiences in videos, documentaries, podcasts, radio and TV shows, and at conferences, symposiums, hospitals, hospices, colleges, churches, and at various groups all over the country, and beyond!IANDS Santa Barbara https://www.iandssb.com/#/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This episode I am reading from Admir Serrano's book 'Nights on the Other Side: How I Discovered My Immortality' Nights on the Other Side” is a book that invites us to look at life from a different perspective: more lucid, more open, and less fearful. Admir describes out-of-body experiences with clarity, combining his personal testimony with scientific references. But above all, he conveys the sense that we are not alone and that we are something more than we believe. Bio I am a Brazilian-American researcher, writer and lecturer on paranormal phenomena such as out-of-body experiences (OBEs), near-death experiences (NDEs), deathbed visions (DBVs), after- death communication (ADC), reincarnation, mediumship and the afterlife. And an unabashed believer in our survival of physical death and the immortality of the spirit. My interest in these subjects was triggered after I began having spontaneous OBEs, back in the year 2000, and I wanted to understand the phenomenon. Since then, I have had hundreds of lucid and amazing experiences which have proven to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are immortal beings. Aware of the sadness that death of a loved one can cause – and I have experienced it myself – I have made it my life's mission to spread the notion that there is no death, that only the body dies, and since we are not our body, we survive death – unscathed. For my own edification regarding the dynamics of physical death, I have worked as a hospice volunteer providing spiritual support to terminally ill patients as they waited for their time to cross over to the other side of life. And this is what death is, a change of worlds, the end of one mode of living, the physical, to the beginning of a spiritual existence. I have bachelor's degrees in psychology and liberal studies, and a master's in theology. I am an avid reader with a broad interest in world and religious history, anthropology, geography, world affairs, and the humanities. I have written five books in my native Portuguese language on death, dying and the afterlife, and two in English on related topics. I write and lecture in both languages, as well as Spanish, the third language I speak. I live in Homestead, Florida, with my wife, two daughters and my lovely grandson. https://www.admirserrano.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm talking to Nancy Rynes about her Near Death Experience.Nancy Rynes was riding her bicycle when a large SUV approached. The vehicle's driver, absorbed in texting while driving, plowed right into Rynes.Suffering from severe spinal and head injuries, Rynes knew she was dying. At that moment, she underwent the first of two life-changing near-death experiences—her consciousness split between her frightened, injured self laying on the road, and an impartial, peaceful observer-consciousness who watched as first responders fought to keep her alive. Her second, more lengthy near-death experience came days later, during the surgery that attempted to repair her traumatized spine.Rynes, a scientist and confirmed skeptic, was shown the wonders of Heaven, experiencing joy, love, and beauty on such a grand scale that she wept at its magnitude. She then met and spoke with a Being who gave her insights into life, love, and the wonders of Spirit. After her tour of Heaven, she was returned to her body to begin the long, slow process of recovering from injuries her surgeon affirms should have killed her.In her book 'Awakenings from the Light', Rynes recounts the amazing sights of Heaven, and explains the remarkable insights into life she returned with to share with others. She was gifted with a second chance—a precious opportunity to bring a little bit of Heaven into her life on Earth. The wisdom she passes on could well change your life as well.BioMy friends call me "the atheist who went to Heaven."I would never have thought I would be writing a book about spirituality and near-death experiences since I spent my adult life as a scientist and skeptic. Born Roman Catholic, I became an atheist, and later an agnostic, beginning in my late teens when I went off to university to study geology and archaeology. While I started out my education as an artist (at Chicago's American Academy of Art), I went on to earn a degree in geology from Northern Illinois University, then attended the University of Colorado, Boulder, for Masters-level coursework. The sciences taught me to base my views on things I could measure, and since spiritual matters were not measurable, for me they did not exist.During most of my adult life, a part of me hoped there was something more than just physical reality, but I never saw evidence for it. The skepticism remained until January of 2014, when the Divine gave me a wake-up call: an opportunity to return to Spirit! Since my near-death experience, I have returned to a more spiritual and creative life based on the wisdom I learned in Heaven.In the past, I have been an archeological artist, geologist, data analyst, and science/technical writer. But then Heaven threw me a curveball, one I desperately needed. Now I am writing and teaching about my experience of the Divine, what happens when we die, and how we can bring a little bit of "Heaven" to our lives on Earth.https://www.amazon.com/Awakenings-Light-Lessons-Death-Experience-ebook/dp/B010MBT4QC https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This episode I am reading from Lynne McGinnis's book 'Overcoming Adversity by Embracing the Higher Truths: One Woman's Journey to Spiritual Awakening'.Lynne McGinnis grew up feeling defective—bombarded by parental atheism, messages that there was "something wrong" with her, relentless bullying, and a deep-seated panic over death. She sought refuge in compulsive achievements, excelling as a top-ranked law student and later as an attorney. Yet, her prestigious career only masked her chronic anxiety, struggles with body image, and ingrained belief that she was worthless. In the early 1990's, at one particularly low point, spiritual nudges led Lynne to participate in a 12-Step recovery program and study the liberating doctrines of the New Thought movement.This path led her to confront the ultimate fear—death—by discovering the transformative truths of Near Death Experiences and reincarnation, compelling her to seek out the world's foremost authority, Dr. Michael Newton, Ph.D., for a Life Between Lives spiritual regression session.But Lynne learned the hard way that true spiritual awakening requires changing negative thought patterns and embracing not only unconditional love of others but also, unconditional love of oneself. Thus, she continued her relentless attempt to gain self-esteem by overachieving and seeking the approval of others. This ultimately drove her to a mental and emotional collapse - a true dark night of the soul. Only then was she ready to let go of the false messages she had been giving herself for so many years and embrace the Higher Truths.Follow Lynne into the spiritual realm during her life-changing Life Between Lives (LBL) sessions with Dr. Michael Newton (author of Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls) and one of his successors, Scott. Here, her Spirit Guide and Council unlock profound memories and universal insights:   Her Pre-Birth Planning: Confirmation of her soul purpose as a Teacher of Souls and her choice of a challenging family life to master the lesson of unconditional self-love.   Soul Connections: The identity of her own Soul Group.   The Universal View: A deep discourse on the "Watchers of the Planets," revealing why they intervened during the Cuban Missile Crisis and their current dilemma regarding the Earth's environmental crisis.   The Path Forward: The ultimate realization that her fear, rage, and competitive drive were merely distractions from her true lesson: unconditional self-love—a love already bestowed by her Creator.Overcoming Adversity by Embracing the Higher Truths is more than a memoir; it is a roadmap to self-acceptance and a powerful confirmation of the soul's enduring journey. Lynne shares how embracing the timeless truth—"We are Eternal Souls human experiences who our Creator loves unconditionally"—finally dissolved decades of fear, rage, and self-sabotage, leading her to hope, purpose, and Divine alignment.Read this book if you are ready to:   Heal from decades of negative self-talk and feeling "not good enough."   Understand the soul-level purpose behind your deepest struggles.   Find comfort in the existence of an unconditionally loving Higher Power.   Embrace your true, Eternal Self and step into your highest purpose.BioLynne. I was an attorney who was employed by a large organization for over 21 years. Due to self-imposed pressure and the pressure of meeting seemingly never-ending deadlines, over the years, I felt increasingly anxious and depressed.One day, I had a stress-related breakdown. To recover from the breakdown, I followed a three-step process where I focused on all aspects of myself: my body, my mind, and my soul. This process ultimately led to what I can only describe as a spiritual awakening. My life is now filled with joy and wonder.I now feel called to help those of you who are facing work stress challenges similar to my own.

This episode I am reading from Holly Porter's book 'Near Death Shift : What Dying Taught Me About Life, Business, and Purpose'.When everything fell apart, grace held her together.After seventy days in the hospital—including two intubations, a coma, and a near-death experience—Holly Porter awoke to a life forever changed. Near Death Shift is her breathtaking true story of survival, spiritual awakening, and divine purpose.When Holly entered the hospital, she had no idea her world was about to stop breathing. Fighting for her life through sepsis, paralysis, and weeks on a ventilator, she experienced what few ever have—a journey beyond the veil. In that sacred realm, she found herself surrounded by a radiant stadium of light, angelic choirs, and divine messages that would reshape everything she believed about life, leadership, and love.What she brought back was more than hope—it was a blueprint for transformation.

Near Death Shift is her breathtaking true story of survival, spiritual awakening, and divine purpose.When Holly entered the hospital, she had no idea her world was about to stop breathing. Fighting for her life through sepsis, paralysis, and weeks on a ventilator, she experienced what few ever have—a journey beyond the veil. In that sacred realm, she found herself surrounded by a radiant stadium of light, angelic choirs, and divine messages that would reshape everything she believed about life, leadership, and love.What she brought back was more than hope—it was a blueprint for transformation.

In this episode I'm talking to Dr. Nicolas Rouleau, Ph.D. about his Essay An Immortal Stream of Consciousness: The scientific evidence for the survival of consciousness after permanent bodily death.This Essay was a Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies Essay Competition WinnerIs experience possible after death? "An immortal stream of consciousness: The scientific evidence for the survival of consciousness after permanent bodily death" was the title of Nicolas Rouleau's award-winning 2021 submission for the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies' international essay competition. Adapted here as a short book, the essay describes a transmissive theory of consciousness inspired by William James and supported by experimental evidence in the field of bioelectromagnetism including the works of the author (Rouleau) and his former doctoral mentor, Michael A. Persinger. It is one of few scientific theories that reconciles physicalism with survival of consciousness after bodily death.BioDr. Nicolas Rouleau is a neuroscientist, bioengineer, and Assistant Professor of Health Sciences at Wilfrid Laurier University. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Tufts University and Affiliate Scientist at the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts. Dr. Rouleau was the last PhD student of Michael Persinger of Laurentian University, whose work on the electromagnetic bases of consciousness inspired Rouleau to pursue his dissertation on the material-like properties of brain tissues, including their capacity to filter electromagnetic fields. In 2017, he joined the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University as a Postdoctoral Researcher and was a founding member of David Kaplan's Initiative for Neural Science, Disease, & Engineering at Tufts, focusing on minimal cognitive responses in bioengineered brain models.As a post-doc, Dr. Rouleau published several 3D tissue models of Alzheimer's Disease and traumatic brain injury. During the research freeze of the COVID pandemic, he wrote an award-winning essay on the topic of transmissive consciousness for the Bigelow Institute of Consciousness Studies, which garnered international attention. In 2023, Dr. Rouleau became a faculty member at Laurier and is now a PI of the Self-Organizing Units Lab (SOUL), which is supported by Tri-Council awards to investigate the mechanisms of embodied cognition and synthetic biological intelligences in customizable, bioengineered neural tissues. He also co-directs (with his colleague, Dr. Murugan) the Center for Tissue Plasticity and Biophysics (TPAB) at Laurier. He is most interested in the fundamental and scale-invariant properties of cognitive systems as well as the pursuit of unifying principles that reconcile organic neural function with analogous phenomena in cells, machines, and non-neural organisms.  https://www.bigelowinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/rouleau-immortal-consciousness.pdf https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode I am talking about an inportant element of the Near Death Experience, the life review.Why do stories of near-death experiences (NDEs) continue to captivate scientists, philosophers, clinicians, and spiritual seekers alike? And why does one element of these experiences, the life review, seem to linger so powerfully in the public imagination?The reported “life review,” is where people describe a panoramic encounter with their own lives. Across decades of research, these accounts have raised profound questions about memory, identity, empathy, and the nature of consciousness itself.This episode is for anyone fascinated by big questions: What shapes our sense of self? How do our actions ripple through the lives of others? And how might experiences at the edge of life reshape the way we understand death, ethics, and human connection?Whether you're drawn to the science of altered states, the philosophy of consciousness, or the personal stories that emerge from NDE research, this conversation invites you to reflect on why the life review continues to resonate so deeply in contemporary culture.If you're interested in near-death experiences, consciousness research, end-of-life psychology, or the deeper meaning of human relationships, this episode offers a thoughtful space to explore why the life review has become one of the most discussed—and most debated—aspects of NDEs today. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week I'm talking to Kimberly Clark Sharp about her book 'AFTER THE LIGHT: What I Discovered on the Other Side of Life That Can Change Your World' and her part in the Maria's shoe case.Death is nothing to fear-and life without fear can be lived to the fullest. This is Kimberly Clark Sharp's message from her extraordinary experience during the time after her heart suddenly stopped beating and she lay on the sidewalk, not breathing, and without a pulse. Swept into a peaceful loving place of brilliant golden light and warm comfort, she saw, for the first time, the meaning of life-and death. Thereafter, Kimberly, with hamster Toto at her side, left Kansas for Seattle-known as "the Emerald City"-to fulfill a destiny devoted to the service of others as foreseen at the end of her near-death experience. Guided by a new sensitivity to the presence of angels, demons and other invisibilities, Kimberly attained a Masters degree in Social Work at the University of Washington and began a career in medical social work that put her in direct contact with dying people-and people who almost died and came back. It is the inspirational stories of these near-death experiences, as well as Kimberly's own life challenges in love, family life and the diagnosis of breast cancer, that form the core of this surprisingly funny page-turner of a book.BioKimberly Clark Sharp, MSW, LiCSW had a near-death experience at twenty-two.  She is the author of After the Light: The Spiritual Path to Purpose (Wm. Morrow & Co. 1995); audio (HarperCollins 1995). Kimberly Clark Sharp is the founder of Seattle International Association of Near-Death Studies, the world's oldest and largest support group for near death experiencers, since 1982. Kimberly is an international conference and workshop speaker, a consultant to news and entertainment media, and has been published in many textbooks, journals, and magazines.  She worked for two decades as a clinical assistant professor at the University of Washington. She co-taught a Terminal Illness Seminar at the University of Washington, School of Medicine.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0791LJL4H https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, we step gently into the quiet, intimate world of shared death experiences, those rare and deeply human moments when the boundary between the living and the dying seems to soften, and something meaningful is perceived in the space between them. These experiences are not about spectacle or drama. They are about presence, stillness, and connection. They happen in hospital rooms, bedrooms, war zones, and quiet homes, often unnoticed by the outside world, yet profoundly life-changing for those who witness them.We explore what it means when a person who is not dying finds themselves sharing in the transition of someone who is. Sometimes this comes as a feeling of peace, sometimes as light, sometimes as a presence, and sometimes simply as a deep knowing that something sacred is taking place. These are not stories told to impress or persuade, but stories told because they stay with people for the rest of their lives.The episode touches on the remarkable account of Karl Skala, a soldier in the First World War, who witnessed something profoundly gentle and luminous while sitting beside a dying comrade in the midst of battlefield chaos. It also explores modern testimonies from families, carers, and loved ones who describe sensing a shared crossing at the moment of death, moments that feel less like loss and more like accompaniment.There is also a personal reflection on individual named accounts of shared death experiences, including stories of people who felt themselves drawn into the transition of a loved one without being physically unwell themselves. These accounts are spoken of not as beliefs to be argued, but as experiences to be listened to with care and respect.This episode offers space rather than conclusions. It does not seek to define death, explain it away, or contain it within tidy language. Instead, it allows these experiences to speak for themselves, as human moments of connection, intimacy, and meaning.It is an episode for listening slowly, for sitting with the mystery rather than solving it, and for remembering that some of the most important things we encounter in life are not loud, dramatic, or visible, but subtle, gentle, and deeply personal. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
