Finding the Will to Recover: Nick Prefontaine on Running Out of the Hospital After Doctors Said He Never WouldAt 14, Nick Prefontaine caught the edge of his snowboard going off the biggest jump in the terrain park — and that was the last thing he remembered. He woke up in a world where doctors had already told his parents he might never walk, talk, or eat on his own again. Less than 90 days later, he ran out of the hospital.In this conversation, Nick takes us inside the recovery the motivational posters never show you. We talk about the mother who refused to let a hopeless prognosis be spoken over her unconscious son, the inner voice that whispered you're going to run out of the hospital, and the STEP system — Support, Trust, Energy, Persistence — that he didn't learn from a textbook but built from inside his own crisis.If you're standing at a starting line you never asked for, wondering whether you have what it takes to get back up, Nick's story is a hand reaching back to pull you forward.About Nick PrefontaineNick is a three-time bestselling author and nationally recognized speaker, named one of the top motivational speakers by Yahoo Finance. He's the founder of Common Goal, where he works with people in the middle of trauma, crisis, and life-altering challenges — helping them not just get through it, but thrive on the other side. He also runs a family real estate business buying and selling homes creatively.What we cover:The day of the accident and the "coincidences" that saved his lifeWhy his parents shielded him from the doctors' prognosis — and how that shaped his recoveryThe STEP system: Support, Trust, Energy, PersistenceThe inner voice that became his common goal, and what Nick now believes that voice isLosing his voice for nearly a decade, and what persistence looked like day by dayThe single moment of doubt he allowed himself — and his mother's answerMaking a full recovery: marathons, snowboarding again, and what he carries forwardConnect with Nick:

What if the patterns that keep you stuck aren't punishment — they're an invitation?Liane Marie Lambert was 27 years old, living in London, when she looked the wrong way crossing the street and was struck by a double-decker bus. She walked out of the hospital three days later — and began a journey that would take her from lost and broken to ascension coach, energy alchemist, and bestselling author.In this episode, Liane unpacks two of the most misunderstood concepts in spiritual life: karma and dharma. She explains why karma isn't a cosmic penalty system, what the Law of Karmic Entanglement means for the patterns you can't seem to escape, and how the shift from 3D to 5D consciousness is less about thinking positive thoughts and more about doing the real inner work.This is a conversation about breaking cycles, reclaiming your power, and discovering that you were never as stuck as you thought.In this episode, we explore:Liane's near-death experience and the dark night of the soul that followedWhat karma and dharma actually mean — and how they differThe Law of Karmic Entanglement and why some people never seem to face consequencesWhy you're already a master manifestor (and what's blocking you)The difference between 3D, 4D, and 5D consciousnessTower moments, soul contracts, and how the universe pushes us to evolvePractical steps to clear karma and raise your vibrationAbout Liane Marie Lambert: Liane is an ascension coach, energy alchemist, karma/dharma activator, and bestselling author of Karma to Dharma: A New Age Guide to Becoming Superhuman — now available as an audiobook narrated by Liane herself. She works with individuals one-on-one and through her 9-week transformation course to help people move from karmic cycles into dharmic living.

We tend to think of grief as something we feel — a heaviness in the heart, a fog in the mind. But what if grief is also something we store, physically, in the body? And what if the breath you take without thinking could be the very thing that sets it free?In this episode, I talk with Kurtis Lee Thomas — the "Man from the Stars" — about a path to healing that didn't begin in a wellness studio, but in suffering. A five-year stomach condition no doctor could diagnose. The loss of his brother to gun violence. A 2 a.m. encounter with a medium at a gas station that cracked his worldview wide open.What Kurtis found on the other side of that pain is a practice he calls humanity's original medicine. We explore why talk therapy can only reach so far, what actually happens when the breath quiets the mind's inner critic, and why grief in particular responds to this work like almost nothing else.If you've done all the "right" things and still feel something stuck inside you, this conversation offers a different doorway — and a lot of hope.About Kurtis Lee ThomasKurtis Lee Thomas is the founder of the global wellness movement Breathwork Detox and Chairman of the Just Breathe Foundation, which has partnered with Nike, NASA, and others to bring mental health solutions to those who need them most.

What if your body isn't broken — it's trying to tell you something?That's the question at the heart of this conversation with Inna Segal, one of the world's leading voices in energy medicine and body-mind healing. Inna's story didn't begin in a classroom or a clinic. It began in a body that was suffering — chronic back pain, psoriasis, digestive illness — and a loss so devastating it brought everything to a halt: the death of a stillborn child at age 20.What happened next changed the course of her life, and has since helped hundreds of thousands of people worldwide understand what their bodies are actually saying.In this episode, Inna and Brian explore the hidden language of physical symptoms, the way grief and trauma embed themselves in the body across generations, and what it actually looks like to heal from the inside out.Topics covered in this episode:How Inna healed chronic back pain and psoriasis through self-inquiry and emotional release — with no formal techniqueThe chiropractor who told her "your body wants to be stuck" — and why that fury became her turning pointThe angelic vision she had after losing her child, and how it shaped her spiritual pathHow she discovered she could see into other people's bodies — and the first time it was confirmedThe astral body, the etheric body, and why physical symptoms often originate somewhere else entirelyAncestral grief: how her grandmother's Holocaust survival lived in Inna's digestive system across generationsWhy grief that isn't felt gets stored — and what happens when you finally let it moveHow Inna processed the loss of her grandmother by finding her qualities in strangers across AmericaWhat makes The Secret Language of Your Body different from every other body-mind bookHer masterclasses and the Awaken the Healer Within programAbout Inna Segal:Inna Segal is a pioneer in energy medicine and human consciousness who has spent over 25 years helping people heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Her bestselling book The Secret Language of Your Body has sold over a million copies and been translated into 27 languages. She works with trauma survivors, doctors, psychologists, and elite athletes worldwide.

The casseroles arrive. The flowers fill the house. For a few weeks, people show up.And then they don't.For most grieving people, the silence that follows the funeral is one of the loneliest parts of loss — and one of the least talked about. In this episode, Brian sits down with Kelly Edmondson, a trauma nurse, grief counselor, and Shining Light mother who lost her son Darius on January 3rd, 2023. Kelly spent years delivering devastating news to families in the ER. She thought she understood grief. Then it happened to her.What she discovered — in the gap between clinical knowledge and lived experience — became the foundation for Timely Presence, a year-long grief support service that sends meaningful, curated gifts on the days that hit the hardest: the first birthday, the first Mother's Day, the first wedding anniversary without your person.This conversation is for anyone who has ever wanted to show up for someone grieving but didn't know how — and for anyone who has felt the world move on while they were still standing in the wreckage.In this episode:How Kelly's son Darius lived — and what his life continues to meanWhat a career in trauma nursing teaches you about grief that lived experience still catches you off guardHow to deliver heartbreaking news with compassion and clarityWhy people go silent around grievers — and why silence does more damage than an imperfect wordWhat not to say (and what actually helps)How Timely Presence fills the gap in grief support after the funeralThe first gift Kelly ever sent — and the prisms it left dancing on a wallAbout Kelly EdmondsonKelly Edmondson is a nurse, grief counselor, and the founder of Timely Presence — a year-long grief gift service designed to show up for the bereaved on the dates that matter most throughout the first year of loss. Drawing from her background in trauma care and her own journey through child loss, Kelly created a service that didn't exist before: one that remembers, so the people around you don't have to carry it alone.

Jacob Cooper on Near-Death Experiences, Astral Travel, and the Wisdom of Jacob's Ladder Near-death experiences have become more of a problem for us, simply because they often confuse so many people. They can feel so extraordinary that some people who have them, not our guest today of course, but some recent experiencers actually think they must have died and then come back to life! And IANDS, the International Association for Near-Death Studies, used to police pretty carefully what people said at their conferences; but not so much anymore. So we are going to have to say here just quickly once again that death is ALWAYS a one-way trip! And NEAR-death experiences are instances of spontaneous, out-of-body travel into the astral plane, usually when for one reason or another, the material body is briefly unable to support life. And when that happens, and we suddenly find ourselves awake and aware in the astral plane, which is an entirely different environment from the earth, although oddly it's very earthlike and with a love-drenched atmosphere, our spirit guides will often give us weird and amazing experiences that are educational, and are meant for us alone. And then, of course we come back into our body, and we wake up. So, what can we assume but that we died and came back to life? But in fact, such a round trip to the afterlife is impossible, because the definition of death is the severing of the energy cord from your energy body to your material body that keeps your material body alive when you astral travel. And in fact, many of us astral travel nearly every night while our bodies sleep. That silver cord cannot be re-attached once it breaks. So, if some living person is able to tell you their NDE story, that person never has actually died! And they never have been to where the dead go. All of that being said, near-death experiences can be amazing, and many of them are life-transforming. And our guest today had his first transformative near-death experience when he was only three years old! Jacob Cooper is with us today for the sixth time. His first book was entitled Life After Breath, and it begins with his remarkable near-death experience at the age of only three. His second book, called The Wisdom of Jacob's Ladder, talks about his many further extraordinary spiritual experiences, and what he has learned from them. We have really loved having Jacob Cooper as our guest on Seek Reality, and we are delighted to have him back today! Learn more about Roberta here: http://robertagrimes.com https://seekreality.com/

What happens when someone doesn't just brush the edge of death — but actually crosses over?On May 22nd, 2023, Jonathan Ashford's organs failed. He collapsed alone on his bathroom floor at 4:30 in the morning, clinically dead for three hours. When he woke up, his temperature was 94 degrees — and the man who had lived inside that body for 25 years was gone.The corporate executive who dismissed spirituality, chased material success, and would have laughed in your face if you mentioned an NDE — he didn't come back. What returned was something profoundly different. And what Jonathan experienced during those three hours may be the most complete account of the other side you'll ever hear.In this episode, Jonathan shares what he was shown, what he was taught, and why he came back.In this episode, we explore:What the other side looked like, felt like, and how he was welcomed by a being of loveThe life review — and how he felt the ripple of his actions through every person he'd ever affectedThe teachings he was given about time, consciousness, free will, and our connection to all thingsWhy he chose to come back — and what he sacrificed to do itThe psychic gifts (all the clairs) he returned with and how he uses them only to serve othersWhat he wants grieving people to know about the love that surrounds them right nowAbout Jonathan AshfordJonathan Ashford is a near-death experience survivor, spiritual messenger, and member of IANDS (International Association for Near-Death Studies) and the NDERF Research Studies. After dying from sepsis-induced organ failure in May 2023, Jonathan returned completely transformed — leaving behind his career, his possessions, and his former identity. He now offers spiritual guidance and private sessions free of charge, living entirely on donations. He does not self-promote. He was told not to.

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.

Join Sandra for a deeply comforting conversation with Purnima Sinha, a woman who bridges the gap between science and spirituality. Purnima comes from three generations of meditators in India and holds certificates in Lifestyle Medicine and Psychotherapy from the Harvard School of Medicine. She is also a respected figure in the afterlife community, having facilitated panels at IANDS (International Association for Near-Death Studies) conferences. Purnima applies this profound background to her work in hospitals, where she teaches meditation and helps patients make their final transition. In this episode, she opens up about the profound transition of her own mother. She shares the beautiful reality that her mother didn't just "leave"—she stayed. Purnima describes feeling her mother's physical presence lingering with her for six full months after her passing, a testament to the enduring bond of love. She also details the verifiable spiritual phenomena she witnessed, including the moment her father predicted the exact day her mother would cross over—days before it happened. If you are grieving or looking to deepen your own sensitivity to the Spirit World, Purnima's wisdom—backed by 50 years of practice and medical training—will bring you great peace. *Connect with Sandra Champlain: * Website (Free book by joining the 'Insiders Club, Free empowering Sunday Gatherings with medium demonstration, Mediumship Classes & more): http://wedontdie.com *Patreon (Early access, PDF of over 800 episodes & more): Visit https://www.patreon.com/wedontdieradio  *Don't miss Sandra's #1 "Best of all things afterlife related" Podcast 'Shades of the Afterlife' at https://shadesoftheafterlife.com

This episode explores one of the most compelling areas of near-death research: documented spiritual near-death experiences reported by children. While adult accounts of NDEs are widely discussed, children's experiences offer a distinct and often unsettling clarity. With minimal exposure to religious doctrine or cultural narratives about death, children tend to describe what they experienced without symbolic overlay, interpretation, or fear.Drawing on named, traceable cases documented by pediatrician and researcher Melvin Morse, as well as long-term analyses by P.M.H. Atwater, this episode focuses on what children themselves reported after surviving life-threatening events such as drowning, cardiac arrest, and severe illness.In case after case, children described leaving their physical bodies with little distress and observing medical resuscitation efforts from an external vantage point. Several accounts included accurate descriptions of hospital rooms, procedures, or family members' actions during periods when the child was clinically unresponsive. These observations were later corroborated by medical staff or parents.Beyond out-of-body perception, many children reported entering environments characterized by intense light, vivid landscapes, or a sense of peace and safety. Unlike adult accounts, children rarely described judgment, life reviews, or moral evaluation. Instead, their experiences emphasized belonging, familiarity, and unconditional acceptance. Morse noted that children often struggled to describe the light they encountered, insisting it was not merely visual but relational, something that “knew” them.Some of the most striking cases involved children encountering deceased relatives they had never consciously known. In multiple documented instances, children identified grandparents or siblings who had died before they were born, later recognizing them in photographs. These encounters were described casually, without surprise, as if meeting someone expected.The episode also examines what happened after children returned. Long-term follow-up interviews revealed consistent aftereffects: reduced fear of death, heightened empathy, and an increased sensitivity to others' emotions. Many children spoke calmly about dying and, in some cases, reassured adults during later illnesses or family crises. These statements were framed not as beliefs, but as memories.Importantly, the children themselves did not question the reality of their experiences. Years later, many maintained that what happened was not a dream or hallucination. This certainty was typically quiet and private, shaping their outlook without becoming performative or doctrinal.By focusing on named cases preserved in published research and presentations associated with the International Association for Near-Death Studies, this episode avoids speculation and instead centers on testimony. Children do not offer explanations for what they experienced. They simply describe where they went, and insist that it was real. 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.

My guest wrote to me saying "even as a child , my mother had me researching at the library and writing essays on various topics! I went on to pursue higher education and become a teacher, and after retiring from a successful and rewarding career, I went on to write an award winning spiritual fiction and a prominently endorsed 5-book series (in addition to contributing to numerous anthology books."  Dr. Foderaro continues, "I am passionate about handling life's challenges with goodness, compassion, honesty and love. I talk about surviving Family Trauma which initially led to being open to the Universe's signs and synchronicities, and then eventually led to my writing to heal and becoming an author.From a young age, Marni's mother, Elizabeth Ann, taught her daughter many lessons. Often these recurring lessons were meant to instill creativity, discipline and motivation, all skills that Marni says were helpful when becoming a teacher. For example, Marni shares the story of when she was a child and wanted her first ten speed bicycle and many more.  Her mother was steadfast and had specific reasoning as to how Marni could get that bike. You'll have to listen to the show to get all the details. Just so you know, both  Marni and her mother were writers and teachers."My mother was a lover of words and extremely witty and intelligent. She grew up in Florida and North Carolina. She got her   Masters Degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in an era and area of the United States  which typically  was unheard of for women, continues Marni. Before completing her Masters, Elizabeth Ann was a high school English teacher in Broward Co., Florida and went on to teach English at Stetson University at DeLand, Florida." Marni is convinced that her mom had tremendous family support and encouragement as a young lady, otherwise "there's no way she could have achieved all that she did" reflects Dr. Foderaro.Marni has many wonderful stories to share about her mother and how she encouraged and supported her as a child and how her mother still influences her today. " I know my mom was a huge part of who I am."Foderaro admits that her upbringing was unconventional compared to her peers. It was the 60's and she and her two younger brothers had plenty of freedom. The kids were often on their own, left to raise themselves, yet plenty of time to be creative. Her father was a college professor. "The freedom had pros and cons", says Foderaro, "I didn't get guidance for many things, it was bittersweet. I was often striving for structure and discipline and I grew up being very organized which helped me with my teaching career." More from Marni's Bio:Marni's life was forever changed after experiencing numerous trauma-induced STEs-Spiritually Transformative Encounters. Marni's 2020 Best Books Award Winning Spiritual fiction “God Came to My Garage Sale” is prominently endorsed by James Redfield, best selling author of “The Celestine Prophecy” series of books and founding directors of IANDS (International Association for Near Death Studies). Marni's latest prominently endorsed 5-book series is entitled: “True Deceit False Love” addresses Domestic Violence, Narcissistic Abuse, Parental Alienation and Intergenerational Family Trauma.Marni is a lover of animals, nature, music and world travel who handles life's challenges with love and compassion. She values honesty, integrity, equality and goodness and prays for peace on earth. In addition to her speaking engagements and various writing endeavors, Foderaro is a contributing author to numerous anthology books, including: “The Last Breath,” “The Evolution of Echo,” “We're All In This Together: Embrace One Another,” “The Ulti-MUTT Book for Dog Lovers” and “bLU Talks Presents” (Business, Life and the Universe.) In January 2022 Marni was inducted into the Bestselling Authors International Organization.

Years down the line, trapped in an abusive marriage and facing back surgery, she flatlined on an X-ray table and found herself pressed against the ceiling, watching her own code blue unfold below. Beside her was a presence she knew as God, replaying scenes from her life and asking what she would do if she returned and nothing on the ground had changed. The decision she made there not only transformed her future, but also led her to spend years helping others see death—and their own lives—in a completely different light.

Forget mere tombs—these monolithic marvels were plasma-scalar powerhouses, engineered to shatter Ice Ages, harness cosmic energies, and ignite humanity's latent potential. From Giza's stellar alignments to Nazca's Tesla-encoded lines, Walton unveils a global grid of forgotten tech: Osiris chambers as sun-reviving generators, retranslated Egyptian papyri as energy blueprints, and even America's pharaonic origins. GUEST: Captain Leo Walton is a retired USCG Merchant Marine Captain, marine forensics expert with over 2,500 investigations, and lifelong explorer who's sailed 25,000+ miles. From nuclear engineering on Navy vessels to inventing critical infrastructure like 9/11's life-saving fire systems, his career spans firefighting, corporate management, and global adventures in Egypt, Central America, and Bosnia. A 2007 near-death experience sparked a Kundalini awakening, redirecting him to pyramid research—positing them as advanced energy and climate devices, not tombs. Author of "The Giza Park Protocol" series and lecturer for Near-Death Studies groups, Walton blends science, consciousness, and ancient mysteries to rewrite humanity's dawn.

In this episode, Guy talked with  Dr. Bruce Greyson, a retired psychiatrist and an author. He discussed the transformative effects of near-death experiences (NDEs). He explained how NDEs profoundly change people's lives, making them more compassionate and less materialistic. Dr. Greyson shared compelling stories, including that of a Marine whose NDE made him unable to continue his military duties. He highlighted the growing recognition of NDEs in the medical community and the need for further research. The episode also delved into Dr. Greyson's personal journey, the scientific challenges in studying NDEs, and the universal message of interconnectedness and compassion. About Bruce: Dr. Bruce Greyson is the Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia.  He was previously on the medical faculty at the University of Michigan and the University of Connecticut, where he was Clinical Chief of Psychiatry. Dr. Greyson has consulted with the National Institutes of Health and addressed symposia on consciousness at the United Nations and at the Dalai Lama's compound in Dharamsala, India. Dr. Greyson's interest in near-death experiences began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body. That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals.  He co-founded the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), an organization to support and promote research into these experiences, and for 27 years edited the Journal of Near-Death Studies, the only scholarly journal dedicated to near-death research. Through his research, he has discovered common and universal themes in near-death experiences that go beyond neurophysiological or cultural interpretations, as well as patterns of consistent aftereffects on individuals' attitudes, beliefs, values, and personalities.

What if death isn't the end but a doorway to something far greater? Dr. Bruce Greyson, M.D. (author of After, Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the University of Virginia, and co-founder of the International Association for Near-Death Studies) shares the near-death experience (NDE) that shattered his medical skepticism and launched decades of consciousness research. A Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, Greyson explores astonishing cases of tunnel visions, otherworldly reunions, and the powerful, peer-reviewed scientific evidence for life after death. Could it be that consciousness exists outside the brain? Discover why many say NDEs eliminate the fear of dying, trigger lifelong transformation, and may even unlock hidden psychic abilities. Plus: the surprising connection between trauma, psychedelics, and reincarnation science—and what it all reveals about what happens after we die. Dr. Bruce Greyson's book, After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond: https://www.brucegreyson.com/after-a-doctor-explores-what-near-death-experiences-reveal-about-life-and-beyond/ The Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia: http://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies The International Association for Near-Death Studies: http://iands.org BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialik

As the bestselling author of Is There Life After Death? and Cheating the Ferryman, Anthony Peake has studied the phenomena surrounding what happens when we die. In Near-Death Experiences, he takes a look at a phenomenon that has garnered great attention from both academics and scientists who study the workings of the brain and the physiological events that are associated with this seemingly inexplicable state.By marrying up anecdotal evidence with empirical scientific evidence, Peake proffers the latest theories behind what we call 'near-death experiences' and how those investigating them are trying to reconcile an apparent state of awareness on the part of the person concerned with the fact that clinically they are considered by physicians to be in a state of clinical death with no signs of bodily functions.It makes for a fascinating read that takes us into an area of neuroscientific research that is continually evolving.BioAnthony Peake was a curious child. While his friends were reading Batman and Superman comics Anthony was immersing himself in learning of the most arcane nature (whilst still keeping an eye on the X-Men and Dr. Strange). It was in 1966, at the age of twelve that he, quite by accident, came across a copy of The Sky People by Brinsley Le Poer Trench and from then on there was no stopping him. The British part-series Man Myth and Magic was read with intense interest followed by the discovery of John Keel's Project Trojan Horse and Jacques Vallee's Passport to Magonia. What followed was a voracious, and unquenchable, need to know everything about everything.At university he chose courses that would accommodate his wide interests, specialising in the sociology of religion, the theory of language development and the art of the Italian Renaissance. A post-graduate course in management lead Anthony away from his calling as a writer and into a career as a manager in various UK businesses. His interest in the esoteric continued with a growing fascination for quantum physics and neurology developing over the years.It was in the year 2000 that his life was to change. A fortuitous set of circumstances allowed him to take a year sabbatical from his business career and he decided that he would focus the fruits of all his reading and research in writing a book. Exactly one year later he surfaced with the manuscript of his first book, then entitled Cheating the Ferryman. This book was a distillation of all his areas of interest, quantum physics, neurology, ancient myths, altered-states of consciousness and the mystery of death.However, it was to take five years before this work appeared in print. Thanks to the help of Professor Bruce Greyson of the University of Virginia, an article based upon Anthony's Cheating the Ferryman hypothesis was to appear in the Winter 2004 edition of the Journal of Near-Death Studies, the academic periodical of the International Association of Near-Death Studies (IANDS). A few months later, in early 2005, British publishing house Arcturus bought the rights to the book and, a year later, and after a substantial re-write, Anthony's first book, with the new title Is There Life After Death – The Extraordinary Science of What Happens When We Die was published. The rest, as they say, is history. This book has now sold over 60,000 copies world-wide and has been translated into various foreign language editions including Spanish, Russian and Polish. Indeed, Anthony has now had books published in every major European language.Anthony has now written twelve books. All of them develop his Cheating the Ferryman hypothesis into ever-wider areas of application. His approach has always been to apply science to the mysterious and the enigmatic.His thirteenth book, an exhaustive review of the history, anthropology and science of the much-discussed Near-Death Experience (NDE) will be published in November 2024.https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D6TGHXR8/https://www.anthonypeake.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlife

What truly happens during a near-death experience? In this powerful episode of “The Abundance Journey,” Elaine Starling shares her own blissful near-death experience, a life-altering stroke that brought her into conversation with a Higher Power and left her with profound insights about life, purpose, and the afterlife. Now, she's joined by Kathy McDaniel, author of “Misfit in Hell to Heaven Expat,” who had a very different near-death experience that shifted her religious beliefs and spiritual outlook forever. Kathy's near-death experience was one of darkness, challenge, and eventual peace, providing a rare glimpse into the diverse, mysterious dimensions of the afterlife. In this episode, Kathy and Elaine discuss the unique and powerful messages they received on the “other side,” from learning to trust Divine guidance to living with joy and curiosity. They explore what it means to experience—and embrace—contrast, the importance of living in alignment with Divine purpose, and how to cultivate a profound connection with others through love and kindness. Tune in to gain a new perspective on life's challenges and blessings and uncover insights that could transform your view of life, death, and everything in between. About the Guest:(bio, personal links, resource links)M.K. (Kathy) McDaniel is the author of the memoir, “MISFIT IN HELL TO HEAVEN EXPAT”. While dying from lung failure in 1999, she was placed on a ventilator and put into a drug-induced coma. A Distressing Near-Death Experience occurred and, although mostly traumatic, she also experienced the overwhelming bliss of Heaven which shifted her religious beliefs to a deep spirituality. Kathy credits the members of IANDS (International Assn. for Near-Death Studies) for her eventual integration of the Distressing NDE, and the ability to accept the sacred mission that caused her reluctant return to Earth. She now shares her experience, and its messages, as a guest on various media, and via her memoir, “MISFIT IN HELL TO HEAVEN EXPAT”.How to Show Support:Please share this episode of The Abundance Journey on social media.

Happy summer! Fr. Nathan is taking a few weeks off from recording The Joyful Friar Podcast. During this time, we will be replaying the most-watched episodes!Enjoy this encore episode where Fr. Nathan discusses Dr. Bruce Greyson's research on near-death experiences.Dr. Bruce Greyson is the Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia.  He was previously on the medical faculty at the University of Michigan and the University of Connecticut, where he was Clinical Chief of Psychiatry. Dr. Greyson has consulted with the National Institutes of Health and addressed symposia on consciousness at the United Nations and at the Dalai Lama's compound in Dharamsala, India. He has earned awards for his medical research and was elected a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, the highest honor bestowed by that organization.Dr. Greyson's interest in near-death experiences began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body. That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals. He co-founded the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), an organization to support and promote research into these experiences, and for 27 years edited the Journal of Near-Death Studies, the only scholarly journal dedicated to near-death research. Through his research, he has discovered common and universal themes in near-death experiences that go beyond neurophysiological or cultural interpretations, as well as patterns of consistent aftereffects on individuals' attitudes, beliefs, values, and personalities.Dr. Greyson is the author of "After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Life and Beyond." The book challenges our everyday ideas about our minds and our brains and offers key insights on how we can begin to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.https://www.brucegreyson.comClick this link and let us know what you love about The Joyful Friar Podcast! ​Connect with Father Nathan Castle, O.P.

Near-Death Experiences: The BEST EVIDENCE Of Life After Death | Dr. Bruce Greyson Watch this interview at-  https://youtu.be/NsbiB-Ipc3E?si=EXij3g2kdlIOea8A Dhru Purohit 441K subscribers 982,759 views Mar 4, 2021 We often think the mind is a creation of the brain, or that the mind and the brain are one and the same. But when the brain is offline for a number of reasons, like illness or injury, the mind can sometimes still be very active. Today on The Broken Brain Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Bruce Greyson about this phenomenon in the context of near-death experiences or NDEs. We have to remember that even just 20 years ago new scientific ideas were emerging that people thought were crazy. People are always skeptical of things they haven't been taught. Now, the study of near-death experiences is pushing the boundaries of modern research. Dr. Greyson is a Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the UVA School of Medicine. His award-winning research led him to become a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and to be invited by the Dalai Lama to participate in a dialogue between Western scientists and Buddhist monks in India. Dr. Greyson's interest in near-death experiences began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body. That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals. In this episode, Dr. Greyson shares some of the most dramatic first-person accounts of near-death experiences from his book After. Dhru and Dr. Greyson discuss how NDEs reveal a lot about dying and what might come after, but they also reveal just as much about life and living, about the value of compassion and our interconnectedness with one another, and about what makes a life meaningful and fulfilling. They also talk about how NDEs can help to transform the fear of dying that pervades our culture—into a healthy view of it as one more milestone in the course of our lives. In this episode, we dive into: - Dr. Greyson's first experience with a patient who had a near-death experience (4:32) - A near-death experience story from Dr. Greyson's book (15:51) - What near-death experiences tell us about the mind-body connection (19:37) - The parallels between psychedelic experiences and near-death experiences (29:06) - The misconceptions around near-death experiences (34:58) - How near-death experiences reduce the fear of death (39:08) - How to get the benefits of a near-death experience without actually having one (41:54) - The history of near-death experiences (46:51) - Reincarnation beliefs among near-death experiencers (49:22) - How near-death experiences change people's lives (1:01:45) For more on Dr. Greyson you can follow him on Instagram @BruceGreysonMD, on Facebook @BruceGreysonMD, on Twitter @BruceGreyson, and through his website https://www.brucegreyson.com.
