In this episode, Dr. Scott Taylor, Ed.D talks about his own shared death experience, and the powerful,  life-changing aftereffects from this event.  He explains the difference and similarities  between near-death (NDE) and shared death experiences(SDE). Through years of research, working with NDE and SDE experiencers, he highlights stories of transformation, changed behaviors, and heightened awareness of time, purpose and meaning. Dr.Taylor has explored NDE's for over 30 years. He is the former president, and executive director of the Monroe Institute. He is a spiritual teacher, speaker, and has 6 best-selling guided meditations on NDE's. Dr.Taylor Is currently president of the Expanded Awareness Institute- (EAI) in Nellysford, VA, which helps people with near-death and shared death experiences. Quote Highlights SCOTT:  "Because an NDE in includes transcendental and mystical elements. It is a powerful event of consciousness." SCOTT: "...the rules of the physical universe are determined by the words “either-or.”  ... It's either you or me. And we are separate....In the nonphysical universe, it's run by  the words “both-and,” so you are you, and I am me and we are separate. We have our separate consciousnesses and we are also tied together. We are made up of the same stuff. We are hooked together consciously." SCOTT: "However, everybody that comes back from a near death experience or comes back with a shared death experience, or frankly just has a spiritually transformative experience...Talk about ... what's our role here? What are we really all about? And it boils down to love, and learning how to increase our capacity to love." LINKS Near Death Meditations Scott M. Taylor, Ed.D  Are Near Death Experiences Real?

There is an amazing phenomena when someone dies and their loved ones "accompany" them on the first part of their dying journey into the afterlife. This is called the Shared Death Experience (SDE) and William J. Peters is the leading researcher. How are these similar and different from Near Death Experiences - NDE's? Some SDE's are not only transformative emotionally, but are shockingly evidential of an afterlife. Most likely would all love to have one, so who does report having SDE's and how can we increase our chances? William J. Peters is an end-of-life therapist who had a remarkable experience while volunteering at Hospice where he floated out of his own body and accompanied a dying patient as the patient crossed over. Having had two NDE's in his past, William recognized the similarity. He was so enthralled by this experience that he began to research if others had experienced anything similar. Spoiler alert - many people have. William spent the next 20 years gathering reports from others who had experienced what is now called a shared death experience. He founded The Shared Crossing Project in 2011 with the goal of positively transforming our relationship to death. Here people can discuss, share, and learn more about people's personal "Shared Crossing" experiences and the current research. He then wrote a book on his extensive research sharing some of the astounding stories called At Heaven's Door: What Shared Journeys to the Afterlife Teach About Dying Well and Living Better.

"The more I spoke with individuals who had experienced a shared crossing event, the more I also noticed repeating patterns. A woman in West Virginia and a woman in Australia with deeply similar experiences around the loss of a baby. A grown daughter in California and a grown daughter in Pennsylvania; a woman in Alabama and a man in Spain. None had met, yet each spoke a common language. Again and again, I found that this moment of shared connection that they had experienced also changed their lives and how they chose to live them in unexpected ways. It provided insight. It provided closure. It made end-of-life decisions easier. It eased grief."

SHARED CROSSINGS with WILLIAM J. PETERS    “Synchronicities happen pre-death, at death, post-death… cloud formations, lights, energetic things, clocks stopping, phones ringing, digital displays, all sorts of things. There's all sorts of quantitative data to decipher whether this is possible within pure chance. There's no way these are coincidence; there's something else happening here and it's profound.” -- William J. Peters       Episode Summary:   Is the very idea of the death of a precious dear one just too much to even consider? What if you could participate in the end-of-life experience of your loved one? What if those experiences allowed you to diminish - or maybe even lose - your fear of death?   William J. Peters is the founder of the Shared Crossing Project whose mission is to positively transform relationships to death and dying through education and raising awareness about shared crossings and their healing benefits. Director of the Shared Crossing Research Initiative (SCRI), William and his team collect and study extraordinary end-of-life experiences, also known as shared crossings.   William has developed methods to actually facilitate shared crossings and to help you meaningfully integrate those experiences.   A psychotherapist at the Family Therapy Institute of Santa Barbara, William specializes in end-of-life counseling as a means toward psycho-spiritual evolution. A frequent presenter, William's book entitled At Heaven's Door: What Shared Journeys to the Afterlife Teach About Dying Well and Living Better (Simon & Schuster) is available now.   William's work is informed by his not one but two Near Death Experiences (NDEs) and so many Shared Death Experiences (SDE) while serving as a hospice worker with the Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco.   William J. Peters and Dr Amy Robbin's enjoy an upbeat conversation about their favorite topic: the transition from this human life to into the next world.  Listen in to hear William make sense of some of Amy's own very personal shared death experiences.  Her mind is blown!       Topics We Discuss in Part 1: [4:20]  William's two near death and shared death experiences.  First, after a horrible accident on a ski slope, hovering over his body, and telling God that wasn't ready to die. And secondly in the ICU – hovering over his body, seeing the hospital staff working on his body, hearing the doctor calling out his name.   [11:40] Years later while sitting bedside in hospice, William “popped out” of his body and  was able to communicate with essence, or possibly the soul, of the dying man.   [13:20] Fascinating end-of-life phenomenon, which William calls “shared crossings”:  shared death experiences,  pre-death premonitions and visitations, terminal lucidity, direct post-death communication, post-death visions, dreams and visitations, synchronicities.   [20:00] Differentiating a shared crossings “adept” vs. a medium – basically it is about who places the call.   [28:15] What William means by the euphemism he uses “traversing the veil”.  And what William feels bedside during this shared death experience crossing over the veil between this life and the next with the dying soul.   [33:10] The difference between a near death experience and a shared death experience. How difficult it is for the medical community to dismiss a shared death experience.     Topics We Discuss in Part 2:   [1:50] William's methods to enable shared death experiences – talking about death, working through psycho-emotional luggage, meditation, spiritual explorations, guided visualizations.  Ultimately to become more comfortable with the idea of death.  William offers courses   [6:01] Losing the fear of death can extend the length of life, even after a terminal diagnosis.   [8:20] Shared death experiencers report a deep inner knowing around dying. 51% of loved ones encounter the dying, 16% see a non-human, elevated highly evolved being (angel or spirit guide or other benevolent being of light); 13% experience a deceased relative, 12% of the time someone “sees” the spirit leaving the body.   [13:14] The multiple dimensions of shared death experiences, from experiences in our normal earthy dimension, ending with “going into the light”.   [20:18] William answers Amy's speed round questions… Spirituality means…? What is something most people don't know about you? What is one thing you're looking forward to? What are you grateful for right now? What book is on your nightstand? What is the most transformative experience of your life?   [29:29] Amy's own recent shared death experience involving the imminent crossing of her sister-in-law's grandmother, and messages relayed.       Follow William J.

Shared Death Experiences. This week I am talking to William Peters about his book, 'AT HEAVEN'S DOOR: What Shared Journeys to the Afterlife Teach About Dying Well and Living Better'.William J Peters is a practicing grief and bereavement therapist, he holds degrees from Harvard's Graduate School of Education and UC Berkeley. He is the founder of the Shared Crossing Project and director of its Research Initiative. He is recognized as a global leader in the field of shared death studies, he has spent decades studying end-of-life experiences. A groundbreaking, authoritative exploration—rich with powerful personal stories and convincing research—of the many ways the living can and do accompany the dying on their journey into the afterlife.In 2000, end-of-life therapist William Peters was volunteering at the Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco when he had an extraordinary experience as he was reading aloud to a patient: he suddenly felt himself floating in midair, completely out of his body. The patient, who was also aloft, looked at him and smiled. The next moment, Peters felt himself return to his body…but the patient never regained consciousness and died.Perplexed and stunned by what had happened, Peters began searching for other people who'd shared similar experiences. He would spend the next twenty years gathering and meticulously categorizing their stories to identify key patterns and features of what is now known as the “shared crossing” experience. The similarities, which cut across continents and cultures and include awe-inspiring visual and sensory effects, and powerful emotional after-effects, were impossible to ignore.Long whispered about in the hospice and medical communities, these extraordinary moments of final passage are openly discussed and explained in At Heaven's Door. The book is filled with powerful tales of spouses on departing this earth after decades together and bereaved parents who share their children's entry into the afterlife. Applying rigorous research, Peters digs into the effect these shared crossing experiences impart—liberation at the sight of a loved one finding joy, a sense of reconciliation if the relationship was fraught—and explores questions like: What can explain these shared death experiences? How can we increase our likelihood of having one? What do these experiences tell us about what lies beyond? And, most importantly, how can they help take away the sting of death and better prepare us for our own final moments? How can we have both a better life and a better death?https://www.amazon.com/At-Heavens-Door-Journeys-Afterlife-ebook/dp/B0984PD615/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1642760847&sr=8-1https://www.sharedcrossing.comhttps://www.patreon.com/pastlivespodcasthttp://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/the-past-lives-podcast

SHARED CROSSINGS with WILLIAM J. PETERS    “Synchronicities happen pre-death, at death, post-death… cloud formations, lights, energetic things, clocks stopping, phones ringing, digital displays, all sorts of things. There's all sorts of quantitative data to decipher whether this is possible within pure chance. There's no way these are coincidence; there's something else happening here and it's profound.” -- William J. Peters       Episode Summary:   Is the very idea of the death of a precious dear one just too much to even consider? What if you could participate in the end-of-life experience of your loved one? What if those experiences allowed you to diminish - or maybe even lose - your fear of death?   William J. Peters is the founder of the Shared Crossing Project whose mission is to positively transform relationships to death and dying through education and raising awareness about shared crossings and their healing benefits. Director of the Shared Crossing Research Initiative (SCRI), William and his team collect and study extraordinary end-of-life experiences, also known as shared crossings.   William has developed methods to actually facilitate shared crossings and to help you meaningfully integrate those experiences.   A psychotherapist at the Family Therapy Institute of Santa Barbara, William specializes in end-of-life counseling as a means toward psycho-spiritual evolution. A frequent presenter, William's book entitled At Heaven's Door: What Shared Journeys to the Afterlife Teach About Dying Well and Living Better (Simon & Schuster) is available now.   William's work is informed by his not one but two Near Death Experiences (NDEs) and so many Shared Death Experiences (SDE) while serving as a hospice worker with the Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco.   William J. Peters and Dr Amy Robbin's enjoy an upbeat conversation about their favorite topic: the transition from this human life to into the next world.  Listen in to hear William make sense of some of Amy's own very personal shared death experiences.  Her mind is blown!       Topics We Discuss in Part 1: [4:20]  William's two near death and shared death experiences.  First, after a horrible accident on a ski slope, hovering over his body, and telling God that wasn't ready to die. And secondly in the ICU – hovering over his body, seeing the hospital staff working on his body, hearing the doctor calling out his name.   [11:40] Years later while sitting bedside in hospice, William “popped out” of his body and  was able to communicate with essence, or possibly the soul, of the dying man.   [13:20] Fascinating end-of-life phenomenon, which William calls “shared crossings”:  shared death experiences,  pre-death premonitions and visitations, terminal lucidity, direct post-death communication, post-death visions, dreams and visitations, synchronicities.   [20:00] Differentiating a shared crossings “adept” vs. a medium – basically it is about who places the call.   [28:15] What William means by the euphemism he uses “traversing the veil”.  And what William feels bedside during this shared death experience crossing over the veil between this life and the next with the dying soul.   [33:10] The difference between a near death experience and a shared death experience. How difficult it is for the medical community to dismiss a shared death experience.     Topics We Discuss in Part 2:   [1:50] William's methods to enable shared death experiences – talking about death, working through psycho-emotional luggage, meditation, spiritual explorations, guided visualizations.  Ultimately to become more comfortable with the idea of death.  William offers courses   [6:01] Losing the fear of death can extend the length of life, even after a terminal diagnosis.   [8:20] Shared death experiencers report a deep inner knowing around dying. 51% of loved ones encounter the dying, 16% see a non-human, elevated highly evolved being (angel or spirit guide or other benevolent being of light); 13% experience a deceased relative, 12% of the time someone “sees” the spirit leaving the body.   [13:14] The multiple dimensions of shared death experiences, from experiences in our normal earthy dimension, ending with “going into the light”.   [20:18] William answers Amy's speed round questions… Spirituality means…? What is something most people don't know about you? What is one thing you're looking forward to? What are you grateful for right now? What book is on your nightstand? What is the most transformative experience of your life?   [29:29] Amy's own recent shared death experience involving the imminent crossing of her sister-in-law's grandmother, and messages relayed.       Follow William J.
