in , ,
Ingrid Blog.png

Dr. Ingrid Honkala, Ph.D. became aware of other life dimensions from her near-death experience at the age of two and was gifted with the wise input of Beings of Light. This helped her face the challenges of growing up in her native Colombia and finding her destiny as a scientist and a giver of Light. Her worldwide oceanographic surveys and her love for travel have brought her to visit 56 countries. Throughout her journey, she faced deadly war zones, underwater explorations, and time at a NASA research center. She learned any human experience can be illumined from within. 

In her autobiography, “A Brightly Guided Life: How a Scientist Learned to Hear her Inner Wisdom,” Ingrid details her amazing journey with the Beings of Light. 

In this second of two interviews, Ingrid describes her life following her early childhood NDE, her struggles with feeling different and alone, and how the Beings of Light guided her through many challenges in order to find the answers she sought so that she could ultimately fulfill her life purpose. This interview is filled with profound wisdom and insight about the deep importance of love and connection with each other and the universe.

“None of this happened TO me, it happened FOR me, so I can be where I am today.”
— Dr. Ingrid Honkala, PhD
“We have always been that light, we have always been the children of God; we just got distracted.”
— Dr. Ingrid Honkala, PhD
“All of this was so you can bring back the message of the power of connection.”
— Dr. Ingrid Honkala, PhD, as told to her by the Beings of Light

NOTES

  • Following her near death experience as a small child, Ingrid initially wanted just to sleep. This is where she first began to see shining starlight figures, which she called “Beings of Light”.

  • As she continued to see and communicate with these beings throughout her childhood, she felt different from others, and struggled to connect with her peers and those around her.

  • The Beings of Light explained that it would take many years for her to understand why she had been chosen to have this experience. But it was clear that her purpose would ultimately be about helping others.

  • Ingrid experienced many challenges in her life. She connected with an amazing psychologist who helped her to make sense of her experiences.

  • Just as she had been told by the Beings of Light, it took 20 years before Ingrid was fully able to have her questions answered and her destiny become clear.

  • Ingrid describes the profound importance of love and connection, and how we all need to work together in order to make a difference.

#34 Illuminated by The Light - An NDE At Two Years Old with Dr. Ingrid Honkala, PhD (Part 1)

Dr. Ingrid Honkala, Ph.D. became aware of other life dimensions from her near-death experience at the age of two and was gifted with the wise input of Beings of Light. This helped her face the challenges of growing up in her native Colombia and finding her destiny as a scientist and a giver of Light. Her worldwide oceanographic surveys and her love for travel have brought her to visit 56 countries. Throughout her journey, she faced deadly war zones, underwater explorations, and time at a NASA research center. She learned any human experience can be illumined from within. 

In her autobiography, “A Brightly Guided Life: How a Scientist Learned to Hear her Inner Wisdom,” Ingrid details her amazing journey with the Beings of Light. 

In this first of two interviews, Ingrid describes in vivid and compelling detail what she saw and felt while in a near-death state as a small child, and how her life was profoundly transformed as a result of her NDE.

“I went from a state of horror to a state of absolute peace and serenity.”
— Dr. Ingrid Honkala
“Now I am in the silence, I am in the space of well-being, I am surrounded by the light.”
— Dr. Igrid Honkala

NOTES

  • Ingrid describes in vivid detail her experience of drowning in a well when nearly 3 years old.

  • Her NDE was an experience in contrasts, going from dark to light, noisy to silent and from being sickly to experiencing profound well-being.

  • She was revived by her mother giving her CPR and had no choice to return to her previous state, despite her desire to stay on the other side where she felt, for the first time, a sense of being home.

  • Ingrid experienced a strong sense of not belonging after her NDE… not recognizing herself, and being unable to relate to other children.

  • She possessed new abilities after her NDE that she’d never had before, including the ability to read and write and do mathematical calculations not typical for children her age, yet she did not have the language to describe what was happening to her.

  • She had out-of-body experiences following the NDE, and realized that the door had opened and never closed.

#28 Letting Go of Fear and Connecting With the Infinite Self with Austyn Wells

in , , , , ,
Austyn W Blog Image.png

Austyn is an author, spiritual medium, and soul gardener who empowers individuals to create soul-centered lives. A certified grief counselor, she combines intuition and mediumship with shamanism, energy medicine, and sacred ceremony.

Austyn presents and educates at many national conferences including the Sun Valley Wellness Festival, as well as The Original Afterlife Conference, for which she has been a board member for seven years. She will be featured in Bill Bennet’s upcoming films Facing Fear and Faith along with Paul Selig, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton and Dr. Anita Sanchez to name a few.

Austyn developed the Divine Spark Cards© and Divine Insight Cards©, to empower people to connect more deeply with their souls. Her Amazon best-selling book Soul Conversations teaches one how to connect, heal, and empower oneself in order to live a soul-centered life.

In this timely interview, Austyn articulately describes how human beings are dualistic in that they have a human voice and a spiritual voice, and how we can better connect with our spiritual voice in order to deal with adversity and challenge, and learn to trust our intuition.

“The advantage of adversity is that it puts everyone back into the same classroom...and reminds us that we are all connected.”
— Austyn Wells
“The finite soul believes it is control so it doesn’t understand that there is a higher power.”
— Austyn Wells
“Detachment is the only way something authentically returns and then it returns with a higher dynamic... it really is all about trust.”
— Austyn Wells

NOTES

  • Austyn describes how human beings are dualistic; we have both a human voice and a spiritual voice.

  • The human being is the finite, physical and mortal self, while the soul being is the infinite, immortal, connected and energetic self.

  • Which voice we use determines how we cope with adversity and challenges such as those which we are faced with today (the Me Too movement, Covid 19 are both used as examples).

  • Austyn described how we can use our hands and fingers to get in touch with our emotions and learn to self-nurture.

  • She describes how important it is to trust our intuition, which is challenging for many because this is a practice not explored in classic education.

  • Austyn offers a simple but helpful practice to connect with one’s intuition using a journal and an oracle deck or Tarot deck.

  • She describes a powerful spiritual visitation she had as a child which helped her gain confidence over a fearful situation.

  • Learning detachment and letting go of control are crucial in connecting with one’s infinite self.

in , , , , ,
Lesley Blog.png

Lesley Joan Lupo was born in Chicago and attended college in Albuquerque, NM, graduating with a B.A. in Psychology and a B.F.A. in Studio Art. She is a world traveler and has crossed paths with many inspirational teachers, including Native American Medicine people, a West African Shaman, and a Wiccan High Priestess.

For nearly ten years Lesley was the Vice-President of Operations at Tanque Verde Guest Ranch. After nearly being killed by a stampede of horses, she experienced a profound near-death experience (NDE) resulting in her inspiring and poignant book, Remember, Every Breath is Precious .

For the last 22 years, she has been a highly-sought after Intuitive Therapist at the Canyon Ranch Resort in Arizona, serving for 3 years as the Spiritual Programs Coordinator. Lesley is also a certified NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) therapist and a Reiki Master, with a client base that includes Hollywood celebrities, politicians, royalty, and business leaders from all over the world. Through her private company, Light the Path, she works one-on-one with clients to support their spiritual healing and transformation. Lesley also teaches workshops on improving relationships, and is a guest lecturer at the University of Arizona. She enjoys creating mosaics and jewelry, meditation, bee keeping, and organic gardening. She happily practices “detachment” (win or lose) by watching her favorite Chicago sports teams. She resides in Tucson AZ.  Click HERE to read Lesley’s complete biography.

In this interview, Lesley talks about the different kinds of children who come back to the earthly realm as spiritual guides and/or as conduits for positive change, enlightenment and forgiveness, with an emphasis on what she calls “Houdini Kids”.

“Houdini Kids heal the planet by absorbing and transmuting the negativity they encounter into love and forgiveness.”
— Lesley Lupo on "Blindfolded Bodhisattvas"
“When Spirit needs us to focus on God... then Spirit is going to keep giving us a crisis... to find that light within us.”
— Lesley Lupo

NOTES

  • Leslie describes the Buddhist concept of the Bodhisattva, an enlightened old soul returning to earth and born into a spiritual family, with the purpose of serving as a spiritual guide.

  • She explains in detail what “Blindfolded Bodhisattvas” or “Houdini Kids” are, and how they differ from Bodhisattvas, in that they are on their own in finding their spiritual center as they strive to break the cycle of hatred and prejudice.

  • Indigo Kids are another version of Bodhisattvas, who come into our world and “hit the ground running” in their mission to accelerate change that is more widespread.

  • Lesley elaborates on the role that crisis plays in bringing us closer to God, and how once we are drawn to God we will no longer need crisis.

  • She offers some advice on how to mentor children who are selfless and need to be taught to include themselves in their decisions.

  • She describes a fascinating session she had with an astrologer, who was able to see her death on the date of her NDE.

  • Lesley recommends visiting her WEBSITE which includes much more detail about all of these topics that she touches upon in this interview.

  • Click the image below to find out more about Lesley’s Book, which chronicles her near-death experience and fascinating visit “Upstairs”.
