LIFE IS A CIRCLE

Occasionally I receive emails from someone who has visited my YouTube video: Transitions/Nurse Shares 30 Years of Spiritual Experiences filmed by David Sunfellow when I spoke in Sedona, or has read my book about some of my patients' experiences with pre-death visions or NDEs , near death experiences.

They remind me afresh of how truly connected we are, how brief it all is upon this Earth even if you live to be 110, how miraculous each love connection is for us as we live and as we die.

One email came from a dear lady who wanted to share with me about her experiences of  "the time I thought I was drowning" and "the experience I had with my Mom". She gave me permission to share this.

"The first was in college.  I went swimming and got caught in an undertow that went beneath a pile of giant boulders.  I tried desperately to not go under but did.  BOOM! Instant relax! Then a grayish-blue tunnel or circular and cloudy path.  First dark, then light.  But as I said I did not get to the end as I heard the voice that said "not yet".  I do not know how I was jettisoned out and do not recall how I climbed onto the river rock on the other side.  My boyfriend at that time had climbed over the top of the boulders and came to my side.  All I could do was sit there  Yet, it changes you.  I'm not afraid of death as I know there is more.  Life is a circle.

In my Mom's case, she was severely diabetic, fell, and started to go through kidney failure.  I, of course, kept hoping she'd get better...but I knew. She was on heavy pain killers and in and out of lucid thought.  I sang 'Home on the Range' hoping that she'd hear me.  Then five minutes later while I was talking with the nurse and my daughter, Mom started to sing, 'where the deer and the antelopes play'.  I knew that she knew I was there.  I left for a few hours realizing how little time was left.  Before I left she shouted, "Fertilize the flowers!" I thought about it.  At her parents, my Dad's and my step-father's services she had the song, In the Garden, sung.  I knew.

When I got back to her bedside I used my cell phone to pull up the words and I sang them once through, sang it again, and she died just as I finished.  Amazing...just went to sleep.  I now believe that whatever it was that went through me when she died was the last of her energy, or spirit.  It was pretty powerful.  I think she did it on purpose, as a gift, to help me deal with her loss and all of the issues I now would have to face and finish for her.

I will never forget how her faced opened up when she "saw" my Dad before she died.  Such a look of surprise!! Then she started "kissing" the air/him...awesome, in the definitive sense.  I told Mom it was time. She was born in Star, Texas and now, she is a star.

You can use my information I have here.  If it gives anyone hope, all the better.  Thank you!"

The movie, Heaven is for Real, is coming out soon.  I've heard so many stories, I won't miss it!

David Sunfellow has on his website NHNE-NDE a quote in his new newsletter.  It is by NDEr Reasearcher Kenneth Ring, from Lessons from the Light

"To dwell on the nature of the afterlife may divert us from paying attention to THIS life, where the lessons from the Light need to be practiced...The true promise of the NDE is not so much what it suggests about an afterlife--as inspiring and comforting as those glimpses are--but what it says about how to live NOW...to learn from NDErs about how to live, or how to live better, with greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and concern for others.  Live well, and death will take care of itself."

I agree. I love to hear the stories, but I hope to learn from them how to pay attention to this day, this life and to remember that we are told from those who share their 'life reviews' when they arrive, that every thought, every word, every deed matters more than we can imagine!

In Love and Light!
