I've been asked, "Did she suffer when she was murdered?" by parents of children who have died. But no matter how our child passes, parents ask, "Was she scared?" Did she die alone?" Did he suffer?
Ana Christina had an experience that answered all those questions, at least for her. Ana called her death a "sweet" experience, even though it occurred at the hands of a loved one. Ana says the Holy Spirit, or "The Comforter," never left her side. Ana says not only is death sweet, her dying is as well.
Ana Christina had a near-death experience that answers many of the questions we all have about the process of crossing over, who goes to heaven, and more. As a devout Christian, Ana found comfort from the Holy Spirit and not just metaphorically.
Ana Christina shares her remarkable and harrowing story of being left for dead by someone she loved. She reflects on her toxic and abusive marriage, her chilling encounter with death, and her unique experiences of crossing over and coming back to her body. Ana Christina discusses her journey of finding strength in her faith and the presence of the Holy Spirit, even in the darkest moments of her life. Despite enduring suffering and violence, she maintains her hope and trust in Jesus. The conversation is emotional, insightful, and thought-provoking, delving into themes of resilience, faith, and the power of love.

I've been blessed to have interviewed some amazing people on Grief 2 Growth. This conversation with Geoff Thomspon is transformational. He not only endured the abuse he went through. He used it to make himself into something better. He not only forgives, but he is also genuinely grateful for his experiences.
In this heartwarming and enlightening conversation with Brian Smith, BAFTA award-winning screenwriter and prolific author Geoff Thompson reveals his journey towards healing and self-improvement. Delving deep into his own traumatic past, Geoff discusses the profound impact of sexual abuse he experienced at a young age and the ensuing turmoil of confusion and anxiety. Despite the adversities, Geoff emerged stronger and with a profound understanding of the importance of forgiveness and its ability to liberate us from the shackles of negative emotions.
In this video, Geoff passionately emphasizes the need for self-improvement and the profound realization that our thoughts and actions shape our reality. Geoff encourages viewers to delve deeper into religious texts and embrace a broader consciousness by going beyond superficial perceptions and discarding labels. He also discusses the concepts of negative thought forms and energy, underscoring the urgency to increase awareness and cultivate higher energy levels as a defense mechanism against them.
Geoff gives a fascinating analogy between his experiences as a nightclub bouncer and his journey to protect his mind and autonomy. He paints a vivid picture of how he likened the nightclub door to the center of his consciousness, where he controlled what could enter and influence his thoughts and actions. He stresses the importance of reclaiming energy from our fears to create something meaningful and impactful.
Geoff explores the power of perception and its role in overcoming life's biggest challenges. Sharing his experience of metaphorically escaping an impenetrable prison using a metaphysical tool, he inspires us to start small, be kind, and carefully examine our thoughts. He also emphasizes the need for forgiveness, explaining its potential to free us from anger and regain control over our lives. To aid others on their journey toward forgiveness, Geoff offers free resources on his Instagram page and through his book on forgiveness and revenge.

Thomas Perry shares his spiritual journey, including a near-death experience where he sought help from Jesus to overcome fear and entered a world of light and love, strengthening his beliefs in angels and the importance of making good choices. Perry believes that God's core teachings are about love, and everyone will experience this love if they follow the path of light, love, and goodness.

Typically, we think of a medium reading as healing for the sitter, the person who hires the medium. We don't often think of a reading as beneficial for the person in the spirit world.
I had a fascinating conversation with Karen, who shares frank and fresh perspectives on mediumship, dealing with grief, and how the mechanics of mediumship work. Along the way, she busts some myths that I think you're going to want to hear about.
Karen has been aware of her psychic abilities from a young age and communicates with those who have crossed over every day. Her mission is to help and heal through her mediumship and to help people understand how spirit works. She is a mentor and teacher and helps students to develop their innate mediumistic gifts . Karen’s love of her work is outstanding, and her passion for all things mediumship drives her forward, bringing evidential mediumship to the forefront every time.

Publishers send many authors to me to pitch their books. I turn down most of those requests. I rarely read fiction books. I just don't have the time. But this author and this book intrigued me, and I'm glad I decided to read it.

What the Mystery Is & What a Mystery School Holds: Everything we crave as humans is found in the Feminine Archetype and the Mystery Letting Ourselves Be Guided by our Soul: She is the one who has the ‘map’ for everything we desire. Misconceptions About What Feminine Energy Is: It’s not what you wear, what hobbies you enjoy, or anything else ‘external-facing.’ The Delicate Balance of Masculine and Feminine Energies in Partnership: Why romantic / love relationships fail when the Feminine Energy is missing Fate, Destiny, Free Will, and Manifestation: And why it’s a lot more complex and a lot less linear than most people think or teach

Were you aware you can do reiki on yourself anytime to enhance your mental, spiritual, and physical health?
Until I learned from my friend, Becky, I had no idea reiki is for everyone. But what really blew my mind is that reiki enhances spirit communications. Becky has documented proof from people she has trained that after they took her course, they had afterlife communications.
Rebecca Austill-Clausen is an Occupational Therapist, Reiki Master, award-winning author of Change Maker, How My Brother’s Death Woke Up My Life, and international speaker. She has practiced Reiki for over 25 years and is the first person to teach Reiki at every in-person American Occupational Therapist Annual Conference since 2016 including the upcoming 2023 Conference in Kansas City, Missouri in April. Becky is also the first person to teach Reiki at the Annual International Association for Near-Death Studies Annual Conference each year since 2021 including the upcoming 2023 conference in Alexandria, VA late August.
Reiki, a natural energy healing modality, can be learned in one day. Reiki reduces pain, stress, and anxiety while enhancing after-death communication.
Becky is teaching Reiki online in one day, certificate-provided weekend workshops being held at the end of March/early April this year during her dynamic, experiential program called Reiki Immersion Online.

Avikal's book "Who Is In?" will challenge you to discover who you truly are. Often the belief that we know who we are blocks us from discovering who we indeed are.
Some of the things we discuss:
The questions "Who is in?" and "Who am I?" You often use the word Koan, what is that, and is it different from an existential question or the same? Why would anybody start asking Who is in? or Who am I? What kind of benefit might that have? At the beginning of the second chapter, you write about the myth of identity. Don’t we need an identity to be in the world? What do you mean by going beyond self-image? You define Narcissism as a general human condition, please elaborate. You state that we are all complete, what do you mean by that? What about attachment to the Direct Experience?
Avikal E. Costantino is a mystic, poet, and martial artist. Curiosity, passion, and love for the truth guide his life and teaching. He is the director of the Integral Being Institute active in Europe, Asia, and Australia. Avikal worked as an anthropologist and a freelance photographer. His love for Martial Arts, which he began in 1970, took him to teach Aikido and Sword in 1987, while his love for the body produced diplomas and professional activity in Shiatsu, Yu-Ki, and Seitai (healing techniques).

I recently attended a conference where there were several people who had NDEs. A discussion of whether we merge into the one or retain our individuality broke out. This is a topic that can cause fear and confusion. For many of us, merging into to the One sounds like annihilation.

"Love Untethered: How To Live When Your Child Dies" is a memoir about Vanessa's grief for the loss of her son Harry.
By sharing her personal experience, Vanessa hopes to enable others who have gone through a similar loss to feel less isolated in their grief. In the second part of her book, Vanessa offers some ideas for supporting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing using her experience, not just as a bereaved mother but as a nutritional therapist, wellbeing coach, and now holistic grief coach and educator.
Many people who have experienced a tragedy find it facilitates a new belief in life after death. This is discussed in the book along with the physical aspects of grief and trauma that can be significant and far-reaching but are often overlooked.
Vanessa is from London in the UK. She's a holistic grief coach, certified grief educator, nutritional therapist, wellbeing coach, and author. She wrote 'Love Untethered: how to live when your child dies' in part to make sense of her profound grief and trauma, as well as in the hope that she can help others who have experienced a significant bereavement.
Vanessa believes life-changing loss can affect us on multiple levels: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. As well as being a memoir, ‘Love Untethered’ offers advice to those grieving based on Vanessa’s personal and professional experience.
Her second book ‘Supporting Your Grieving Client: a guide for wellness practitioners’ will be published in February 2023, and she is currently writing her third book, which will be a sequel to ‘Love Untethered’.

Someone asked me to make a five-minute video covering why I believe in the afterlife. After a few tries, I realized it would take at least ten minutes just to give an overview.
I've studied the afterlife for several decades now, intensely over the last 7-½ years. I am convinced, beyond any reasonable doubt, the "afterlife" is our real life, and it's more real than this reality we call home for a few decades.
In the episode, I give resources for you to begin your research.

How do we live a healthy lifestyle? A holistic life leads to health and well-being, according to many, including my guest, Oliver Rolfe.
A decade ago, Oliver's life changed forever. In fact, everything in his life changed when he was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, along with seven damaged discs in his spine. Starting with himself, Oliver knew that to be on top of this disease, he needed to be mentally stronger, physically more able, and have the ability to manage his emotions. Oliver changed everything and feels so much better for it now and in a more contented place.
Today, Oliver is far more in control of his body, his mind, and his emotions.
Having spent many years under the care of some of the most well-regarded doctors, surgeons, professors, rheumatologists, allergists, nutritionists, numerologists, healers, etc. Oliver learned first-hand from these experienced professionals, as well as experiencing everything first-hand daily.
Otto collaborated with renowned experts including psychologist David Moxon, who has spent the last 30 years mentoring and educating people within the fields of health and psychology; international numerologist Ann Perry assists people globally and specializes in the Master number 11; Darren Rolfe, CEO of Steps Together, an addiction and rehabilitation group that focuses on drug and alcohol addiction (including overall well-being); International medium and healer Sara Leslie, has assisted countless people with her knowledge and intuition. They have created a complete guide for your holistic health.

Hellish Near Death Experiences are pretty rare. Dr. Parti died and says he saw hell. I've wanted to interview Dr. Parti for a very long time. A small percentage (estimated at around 5%) of Near Death Experiences are "hellish." Since meeting Howard Storm and hearing him speak several years ago, I've not spoken with anyone else who has had one of these experiences.
Some of my Christian listeners may be excited to hear that a non-Christian went to Hell and got what he deserved. But look beyond the headline. Every hellish NDE I've heard recounted ends up with the experiencer being removed from hell. And, in any event, none of them are there eternally. So, hell, if it exists and is confirmed in NDEs, is temporary at most.
Dr. Parti and I discuss his experience, how it changed his life, and why he thinks he had this particular experience. He went from a life of excess to a much simpler, happier life after his return. He also has advice for anyone who might find themselves in the same situation he was in.

A growing number of counselors and therapists are treating the whole person. Transpersonal Counseling honors the higher dimensions of the human experience- beyond the personality, beyond personal history, beyond even beyond emotions. Things that are typically unexplainable are honored and welcomed into the counseling room. Her path was greatly influenced by a Near Death Experience she had when she was just five months old.
Harmony Kwiker, MA, is a psychotherapist, author, and professor at Naropa University, where she teaches transpersonal counseling. She is also the founder of the Institute for Spiritual Alignment, where she trains practitioners to bridge the divide between traditional and spiritual transformation.
Harmony's first book was a self-help memoir called Reveal: Embody the True Self Beyond Trauma and Conditioning, where she vulnerably shares her story of transformation while simultaneously empowering readers to discover their truest selves.
In this interview, we discuss her new book, Align: Living and Loving from the True Self.

When John and I talked, I learned that he has had a lifetime of spiritual experiences that have no other explanation (NOE to use Suzanne's Giesemann's term) than he is plugged into something beyond our physical realm.

This one was a big thrill for me. I've been a fan of David's cartoons for many years. And I got to interview him to learn about the man behind the pen. His cartoons are biting, funny, and sometimes hurt a little as David expresses the emotions many of us feel when we deconstruct our religion.
David Hayward was ordained to the ministry in 1987 and left in 2010.
He’s been running the nakedpastor blog since 2005 where he posts his provocative cartoons and articles.
He launched an online community called The Lasting Supper, a place for people to change without being judged or instructed, and where they can learn to become spiritually independent.
He’s been cartooning, making art, writing, speaking, and coaching around his core passions: personal authentic freedom, the power to change our own lives, and the creative spirit to make our world a better place.
He and his wife live in eastern Canada. They have three adult children.

Zander Masser is an occupational therapist, husband, father, musician, and author of the narrative photography book Unburying My Father. Zander's father, Randy, contracted HIV from using contaminated blood products to treat his bleeding disorder and died in 2000 from AIDS-related illnesses. Twenty years later, Zander unburied ten thousand slides from Randy's career as a professional photographer, which prompted him to dig deeper into his father's life. What started as a photography project evolved into a transformative exploration of living with, and healing from, grief. The book, Unburying My Father, was funded by a successful kickstarter campaign. Since then, Zander has delivered talks and workshops around the US and Canada and has created several photography exhibits featuring his father's work.

John Davis has a pretty wild story. 19 different intuitive readers independently and spontaneously told him about a very specific past life. Raised as a Catholic, psychics were not something he particularly believed in or trusted. So John of New scheduled a session with a past life regression therapist. Under hypnosis, he remembered the exact life the readers had and told him of. He remembered the life of John, the Beloved apostle. In that regression, he remembered meeting Jeshua bin Joseph better known as Jesus. He also witnessed the crucifixion of his friend. John now has a popular YouTube channel called John of New that shares what he learned 2000 years ago.

What an episode I have for you today! Lisa Simone and Frances Key talk about The Team Books.
Frances Key is the channel for the greatest series of books I've ever read. She's appeared on Grief 2 Growth multiple times, and I'll get her back whenever I can. In addition, today Lisa Simone, author, actor, singer, executive producer, and daughter of the great Nine Simone, joins us. Lisa became a fan of Frances and the books and is one of the narrators of the brand-new audiobook version!
I'm not prone to exaggeration. The Team books have changed my outlook on life as much as any spiritual material I've read.
On October 9, 2010, at the age of 86, Gloria Crystal "Teddy" Key passed away at her Florida home, her family by her side. Nineteen days later, her lilting voice began to communicate with her eldest daughter, Frances, about the scope and wonder of her new perspective from the afterlife state. Through various experiences, including direct contact with her mother, automatic writing, and sudden downloads of information, this remarkable 4-book series was handwritten in less than a year. The Team material has astounded a growing circle of readers with its unique analogies, wit, depth of wisdom, and unusual outlook on the experience of being human while belonging to a spiritual team.
Frances, a retired teacher, writes books, songs, and scripts. She has been involved in various creative projects, including musical theater, writing choral music, and much more. She will share with us today information about the recent Audiobook release of Team Book One and her newest creative projects.
