My guest this week is Worthy Stokes, author of The Daily Meditation Book of Healing: 365 Reflections for Positivity, Peace, and Prosperity (affiliate link). I got so much out of this discussion with Worthy. She had a near-death experience a few years ago that opened her eyes to the full reality of who she is. A lot of what I love about her perspective is that she fully values all parts of our experience—our bodies, our minds, our spirits, our souls. The full range of what it means to be a human. We talked about allowing ourselves to be deeply human. We explored ways to manage anxiety. And we thought a lot together about what it means to heal. Does it mean that we have to regain complete physical functioning? Or is there a kind of full healing available even when we continue to struggle with symptoms? Toward the end of our conversation, she offered a simple but powerful listening exercise. Other topics we touched on included: What it means to be a “presence activist” The transformational energy in presence Using mindful presence to harness the creative energy of the mind Not valuing the spiritual above other parts of ourselves and our experience My guest’s near-death experience in 2014 Devaluing our human experience and overvaluing our “soul essence” Spiritual materialism Allowing ourselves to be deeply human The spiritual experience of simply being more fully what we already are The drawbacks in saying that any part of our experience is more important than another Questioning who the “I” is who has experiences The three closely connected spheres of intelligence that Worthy experienced during her NDE: Self as a soul, or the luminous ribbon of consciousness – free of identity, personality, gender, culture Personality, with signatures of feelings, body, gender, cultural shape Her one particular lifetime Richard Brown's teaching that we are mostly made of space See this book: The Healing Power of the Breath (affiliate link) My guest’s views on God How we can recognize the magnitude of what we are Finding calm by diving deep into ourselves How to manage anxiety Remembering that there’s a part of us that is untouched by this life What it means to heal Healing as aligning with our reality, or healing our relationship with this life Giving ourselves permission to let our hearts break The wisdom of doing less A powerful listening exercise that’s easy to do Worthy Stokes is originally from Montana, and divides her time between there and New York City. She is the creator of HeartMind Meditations, which she developed after surviving a nearly fatal brain injury when she was hit by a passenger van. You’ll hear her describe what happened. Worthy beat the odds and survived. Her primary contemplative focus is trauma-competent mindfulness. As a survivor of traumatic brain injury, her rich understanding of posttraumatic growth is informed by her personal experience of debilitating tragedy, and the life-affirming journey of renewal that came after. And yes, “Worthy” is her given name. She was named for her grandfather, Dr. Worthy, who was a gifted physician. Find Worthy online at her website and on Instagram.

Beth Clayton (your host) is a soul-based life coach who loves to help open-hearted people break free from their own self-sabotage, outdated thought patterns, and past pain so they can deepen their relationship with their own soul’s intuition, speak their truth courageously and fulfill their most authentic desires. She knows that creating in our external world is all about going deeper into our internal world and finding our own liberation. She is the creator of multiple group programs, retreats, and transformational workshops, leading hundreds of truth-seekers toward finding freedom and ease in their relationship with themselves, empowerment in their lives, and the ability to take powerful and consistent action toward their dreams.    Worthy Stokes is the founder of HeartMind® Meditations and author of The Daily Meditation Book of Healing. She is a polytrauma survivor who lives with life-altering sensory loss since overcoming a complicated traumatic brain injury overseas at the age of 34. Her vivid Near Death Experience, a decade of advanced meditation training that began in 2008 with her introduction to Dzogchen, and her battle to retrieve her very own mind inspired her career of teaching meditation and coaching at the nexus of nondual wisdom, emergent neuroscience, and open awareness. Worthy is endorsed by world-renowned medical doctors teaching at Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, and beyond. She is widely known as a healer for the healers among award-winning CEOs, trauma survivors, psychologists, and somatic experts who appreciate her interdisciplinary perspective of meditation. Worthy has spent countless hours with her neurologists reviewing maps of her own brain, she has followed clinical research studies since meeting the late Dr. Candace Pert in 2007, and she directly apprehends the mystical complexity of transformation. She guides online meditation programs and shares her free time with her husband, who is an adult literacy expert; he helps her read and write. Worthy holds a bachelor of arts degree in Journalism, and she is currently writing her second book. And yes, crazy but true, Worthy is her real, given birth name;)   In this session, we will dive into: How emotional contagion is surfacing in collective trauma and how we are experiencing it on an individual level.  How Worthy’s NDE, polytraumatic brain injury, and sensory loss prepared her to ground herself amidst uncertainty and change.  The trauma that can happen in quarantine that is associated with activation and simultaneous entrapment.  The gifts present in the time of quarantine and global pandemic.  How Worthy learned to start living sixty seconds at a time.  Why hitting rock bottom and acceptance of “terrible circumstances” is the first step in liberation.  Why denial can be super valuable as we travel toward acceptance.  How denial keeps us separate from our intelligence and resourcefulness.  Why we always receive the information we need to heal at the exact moment we are strong enough to handle it.  The importance of giving ourselves and others grace as we learn and transform.   Check Worthy Out: My heart travels with you, Worthy Stokes www.worthystokes.com Instagram: @iamworthystokes Founder of HeartMind® Meditations Author of The Daily Meditation Book of Healing HeartMind® Meditation Teacher on Insight Timer   You can find Beth at: @bethclaytoncoach on Instagram www.soulbodylife.com Grab your free e-book, “The Secrets in Your Sabotage” at www.soulbodylife.com/free-stuff Beth’s TedX RIGHT HERE.

In this beautiful and moving conversation with Worthy, I was left with my heart full and my hunger for life affirmed. Worthy's story about her near death experience and her brave heart moved me to tears. I know this episode will help breathe life back into your soul and soma.

Episode #4: Worthy Stokes. She Survived Death. Here is What She Learned About Living. Why Worthy is Fiercely Human: Worthy is a near-death experience and polytraumatic brain injury, a survivor. After years of her own spiritual awakening and deepening her understanding of neuroscience and as a devout Buddhist, Worthy was hit by a 15-person passenger van while traveling in Seoul, South Korea and spent 120 minutes outside of her body, going into her near-death experience as a Buddhist and coming out with “no religion.” She shares what she experienced on the other side and why she chose to come back to her body. Worthy has beautifully simple yet profound messages about how to live life powerfully now as a human and from a place of curiosity and what moves us. She is also a gifted meditation teacher with an ability to uplift individuals at the deepest levels of neurological intelligence. Her Heartmind intelligence meditations exude breath-taking awareness in a fresh, secular approach to ancient spiritual truths. Her compassionate insights reflect years of mystical study worldwide. Oh, and don’t put her in a spiritual guru box, because she wants none of that. She is also pragmatic, sexy, super intelligent, funny and bad-ass. This conversation was SO illuminating and fun. I will carry it with me for a long time to come and hope you do too! In this episode, we deep dive into: ● Worthy’s five-year journey of spiritual awakening and mystical studies, including studying neuroscience and become a devout Buddhist practitioner (living with monks and learning from Tenzin Rinpoche (Tibetan Dzogchen) preceding her near-death experience and how it prepared her for it. ● What she experienced in the 120 minutes outside of her body and how that has impacted how she lives now. ● Her experience coming back from death to a broken body and injured brain that resulted in the loss of 2.5 senses. ● What she came to understand when she was unconscious and hemorrhaging (but was actually superconscious). ● The importance of coming to know and understand ourselves before we ask anyone else to understand us. ● The gifts in being able to hold anguish and beauty in our experiences at the same time. ● The liberation in rejecting labels and choosing when to put them only when it works for us at that moment. ● The difficulties of coming back to a world that had no context of the awareness she acquired. ● How her near-death experience affected how she lives every day and why her 95-year-old self is the spirit guide driving her Maserati these days. ● What heart-mind meditation is and how Worthy serves the world these days.
