The Wild Sovereign Soul Show How facing death unlocks the profound secrets of really living - Lian Brook-Tyler
Wild Sovereign Soul co-founder and soul guide, Lian Brook-Tyler, explains what death has always been trying to teach us about the art of really living, drawing on three of her own encounters with death, including fifteen years of chronic pain and panic attacks, that ultimately changed everything.
This episode is Lian’s All The Everything show… her solo space where she dives deeply into a theme that is alive for her, which, if you know her, could be literally anything - explored through the lenses of science, spirituality and story - hence the name of the show!
In this episode, Lian shares the story of her own three encounters with death, a violent attack in her youth that left her braced against life for fifteen years, the sudden and complicated death of her father, and a shamanic burial initiation. She weaves through the science of near-death experiences, including findings from Dr. Pim van Lommel's eight-year longitudinal study and Raymond Moody's landmark research, which found that across cultures, ages, and belief systems, only two things consistently emerged as what truly mattered.
She also looks honestly at what modern culture has done by removing death from daily life, how a death-denying world dismantles genuine choice, and why sovereign living may not be possible until we stop trying to pretend we have more time than we do.
She closes with a simple daily practice, a few minutes each morning to ask what this day would mean if it were the last ordinary one.
Listen if you find yourself putting something important off until conditions feel more right, or if you know what your life is calling for but keep finding reasons not to move toward it yet.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:
Why the life review described consistently across near-death experience research points to only two things as mattering, and what that means for the choices available to you today
How a culture that removes death from daily life creates a sovereignty wound, and the way genuine self-directed choice depends on facing what we most want to avoid
What happens when you spend a night buried in the earth, facing the prospect of death, and the quality of aliveness that becomes available on the other side of it
