OVERCOMING THE FEAR OF DEATH- A Rational Approach- Kelvin Chin

In this episode, Kelvin and I discuss his book "Overcoming the Fear of Death". It's an easy read. I finished it in a day. But, it is a systematic, rational approach to a common fear. Kelvin breaks down our beliefs on what happens after death into four main belief systems (not religious beliefs). From there, he explains how we can reduce or eliminate the fear of death from wherever we are today. Kelvin Chin is Executive Director & Founder of the “Turning Within” Meditation and Overcoming the Fear of Death Foundations. He is an internationally-recognized meditation teacher featured in Business Insider, Newsweek, Kaiser Health News, and has taught meditation at West Point and in the U.S. Army, including on the DMZ in Korea. Kelvin is also the author of the best-selling “Overcoming the Fear of Death: Through Each of the 4 Main Belief Systems” — a nonreligious approach to the 4 Beliefs that underlie all religious and cultural beliefs. He has had many experiences “piercing the veil” over the past 35 years communicating with the “other side,” and his past life memories reach back 6,000 years.Kelvin has been meditating for 50 years, and has taught it for 46 years to thousands from age 4-94 in over 30 countries. He regularly helps clients with PTSD, anxiety, depression and sleep disorders, especially those who have lost loved ones or had traumatic spiritual experiences. His technique is easy and effortless, with no cultural or lifestyle trappings. The technique offers a solution that helps people live their lives more fully now, giving them a sense of greater control to move forward.Kelvin can be reached at www.kelvinchin.org or at www.turningwithin.orgVisit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store Grief doesn’t follow stages, timelines, or rules.If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing this right?”—you’re not alone.That’s why I created the Grief Check-In.

GRIEF'S TIDES: Diana on Navigating Life After the Loss of Her Husband

Diana experienced the death of her spouse at the age of 37, now 17 years ago. Her husband was diagnosed with lung cancer and was gone in 111 days. She was left behind with a broken heart and 3 teenage sons who struggled through adolescence without a father.  Before he left, he told her he would help her from the other side. His words were true; he has been guiding her throughout his physical absence through signs and synchronicities. She says that the love and loss of her husband has been a journey of finding and loving herself.  She believes grief is a journey that lasts a lifetime.  A process of developing a new kind of relationship with the departed; a soul to soul connection.She has learned through the years that grief is like the ocean tides.  It ebbs and flows and comes in and goes out.  Sometimes rough and hard and high, other times gentle and soft and low.  But it always comes in and in it always goes out.  What remains is love.  Love doesn’t die.Her most prestigious role in life has been a wife to Mark, and a mother to her 3 now grown sons.  She holds a 200 hr. certification in hatha yoga, 300 hour yoga therapy certificate as well as a Trauma informed brain sensitivity training.  She has written and recorded 5 songs around a grief/loss theme titled, Beautiful sad.  She says sad is beautiful because it means we have loved and lost, BUT we HAVE loved. She hopes the music will find it’s way to those needing comfort from the loss of a loved one and to consider the possibility that those departed from our physical presence, aren’t gone, they have only gone ahead of us. Find more about Diana and get the CD from:https://www.beautifulsadgrief.comVisit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store Grief doesn’t follow stages, timelines, or rules.If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing this right?”—you’re not alone.That’s why I created the Grief Check-In.

DIVINE ENCOUNTERS: Heidi Craig on Her NDE and Life Lessons!

Heidi Craig is the mother of three boys, a credit analyst, and an author. In 2004, during the birth of her youngest son, Heidi found herself out of her body and in the presence of "spirit beings." Heidi was given three messages to bring back with her. She says her near-death experience helped her to understand and accept challenges she had faced in her life up until that point, including abuse at the hands of her father. It also helped her with the difficulties she would face after returning. Heidi's mission now is to help as many people as she can by sharing her experience and its lessons.Heidi's book is "Messages from Heaven (The Little Book of Affirmations Based on the True Story of a Near Death Experience and the Lessons Learned)"Heidi's book is at Amazon.comMessages from HeavenHer affirmations video is at: Heidi's Affirmations Video💵 to become a Patron and get exclusive content, find me on Patreon at:https:www.patreon.com/grief2growthVisit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store Grief doesn’t follow stages, timelines, or rules.If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing this right?”—you’re not alone.That’s why I created the Grief Check-In.

BEYOND THE VEIL: Dr. P.M.H. Atwater’s Study on Lifelong Effects of Childhood NDEs!

As of today, Friday, October 25, 2019, The Forever Angels- Near Death Experiences in Childhood and Their Lifelong Impact, is Dr. Atwater's latest book. Next week that will no longer be true. I was fortunate enough to catch up with P.M.H. for a series of three interviews. The first covered her life (in brief- she is in her 80s and has led an amazing life) and her film As You Die Know That You Live Forever. The second interview was about her book Dying To Know You- Proof of God In the Near Death Experience. If you have not seen those interviews, I recommend them.  In this interview, we talk about her amazing research concerning the lifelong impacts of the Near Death Experiences on children of the ages of five and under at the time they had their experiences. She follows up on earlier work and expands the study to take it a level no one has before.  You can find more about P.M.H. at: https://www.pmhatwater.com 💵 to become a Patron and get exclusive content, find me on Patreon at: https:www.patreon.com/grief2growth  for more information see me at: 📚 https://www.grief2growth.com to book a free half hour consultation visit: ⏰ https://grief2growth.as.me/30-minute-... find me on Facebook at: 👍🏾 Visit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store Grief doesn’t follow stages, timelines, or rules.If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing this right?”—you’re not alone.That’s why I created the Grief Check-In.

ASK ME ANYTHING: Understanding Loved Ones' Choices in the Afterlife

This episode is part of the Ask Me Anything series. The question comes from a patron of the show. She asks why her daughter, if she had a choice, chose to remain on the Other Side rather than return to her. The question was prompted by the reports from some Near Death Experiencers that they were given a choice of returning or staying. These bonus episodes will eventually be moving to the Patreon platform. If you'd like to provide financial support to the show, get access to the bonus materials, and be able to ask questions that could become a bonus episode, please visit me there and sponsor the show for as little as $5.00 a month to get access.www.patreon.com/grief2growth--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/grief2growth/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/grief2growth/supportVisit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store This deck is a labor of love.
