#163 Shaman, Shamanism and Healing With Rick Olsen

in ,

About Beth & Rick Olsen

One moment, Beth and Rick Olsen were enjoying an ordinary life filled with all the joys and frustrations of raising their two children, Josh and Jessie. The next moment, a drunk driver plowed through a red light at eighty miles per hour, hitting their van and changing everything.

Non-Traditional Approaches to Healing

The Olsens attempted traditional healing methods but quickly found that counseling did nothing to help them get a grasp on their monumental loss. They then turned to nontraditional approaches—a decision that led them to Peru. It was there they finally began to undergo the immense physical, mental, and emotional changes that allowed them to understand that everything—including the accident—happens for a reason.

The Nazca Lines are a group of pre-Columbian geoglyphs etched into desert sands in southern Peru, the origin of which remains a mystery.

Rick & Beth participated in a powerful ceremony along a double spiral, similar to a labyrinth flowing inward. The idea is to shed your past and your burdens the further you walk in and feel it peel away as you walk back out. When Rick exited the spiral, his hair had turned white.

Spirit has a master plan

In a split second our lives as we knew them died forever. Spirit has helped to heal us, and has put both of us in many different situations where we have been able to help others. We have integrated the tangible world and the spirit world, and can move between the two. And if you stay open and responsive, Spirit will work on your behalf.

In today’s episode, Rick Olsen shares his and his wife’s beautiful journey of healing after a great loss that led them to discover that with the passing of a loved one, not all is lost.

#161 Don't Stop Believin' With Krista Gorman

in ,

Krista Gorman is a Physician Assistant who, only three weeks after graduating as a PA, suffered cardiopulmonary arrest and died while in labor with her daughter.

Krista died as one person and woke up as another. For 10 years afterward, she tried to integrate the lessons she learned during her NDE but wasn’t successful until she experienced “life on life’s terms” to the point where she was unwilling to keep living that way. She understood life was hers for the creation, for the living, with self-love being the framework and Love for all the entire house. Krista actively began to do the things she needed to do in order to create her life the way she wanted it to be, which included creation of Twelve Principles for Daily Living (directly taken from her NDE) which provided the blueprint Krista needed to shape her thoughts, words and deeds each moment of each day, which has become her beautiful life.

Some of her story and the lessons she learned in the afterlife are shared in her self-published book, I Died And Learned How To Live, available on Amazon. Her NDE account is also featured in a book by Dr. Penny Sartori and the late Kelly Walsh titled The Transformative Effects of Near Death Experiences as well as the book Awakened By Death by Karen Swain and Cyrus Kirkpatrick. In 2017 she and her daughter were featured on the program Story Of God With Morgan Freeman on the National Geographic Channel episode titled Heaven And Hell.

Krista is an active member of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) and presented at their conferences from 2014-2017, several presentations were with her husband, Ainsley Threadgold, who also had a NDE. She is scheduled to speak in person at the 2022 IANDS conference in Salt Lake City. In addition, Krista speaks both formally and informally to various groups online and in person. Krista earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology in 1993 and graduated from her Physician Assistant program in 2000. She has been a practicing PA-C ever since. She and Ainsley currently live in Hawaii. Her website is kristagorman.com. She has a YouTube page and Facebook page and can be found on Twitter at Krista_Gorman and Instagram @kgorman717209. She is also on Tiktok. Contact her directly at KGorman717@gmail.com.

In today’s episode, Krista beautifully details her experience of the afterlife and how what she saw changed her entire perspective on life.

#115 Three Near Death Experiences; One Abundant Life with Robert Kopecky

in , , , ,

Robert Kopecky escaped a traumatic childhood growing up on the edge of San Diego, California, and went on to travel extensively, living a variety of lives as a ski bum, a factory welder, a monumental sculpture fabricator, an underground cartoonist; and finally, as an award-winning Manhattan illustrator, art director, and animation designer for clients like the New York Times, Cartoon Network, and PBS Kids (he’s recently re-designed Sesame Street for traditional animation).

His global journeys—from the remote South Pacific and the Mayan underworld to the media centers of Manhattan, were punctuated by three very different, dramatic "Near- Death Experiences" that eventually led him to years of study, meditation, and service, and the transpersonal realization of a Life beyond that inspired him to write about the spiritual lessons he’d learned the hard way.

When the spiritual essays he posted on his design blog became more popular than the designs, he was “called” to write his first book, How to Survive Life (and Death), 2014 Conari Press, which sent him into the world of “Near-Death” experience as a speaker, teacher, and contributing writer featured on Gaia.com, The Mindful Word, Inner self, BeliefNet, and more. His latest book: How to Get to Heaven (Without Really Dying), Wisdom From a Near Death Survivor, released in 2018 by Llewellyn Books, is a comprehensive guide to experiencing “heaven” in this life.

Robert has been a featured speaker for the 2016, 2018, and 2021 International Association for Near-Death Studies “Explore the Extraordinary” conferences, the Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment, the Wisdom of the Near-Death Experience Symposium, the 2018 Afterlife Awareness Conference; and spoken for numerous IANDS Chapters around the country. He has appeared on PBS/WTTW Chicago, and guested on more than seventy radio and television interviews. His multiple Near-Death experiences give him a unique perspective on the phenomena of “the afterlife,” as well as on the life we currently live.

He regularly posts on his popular spiritual blog at RobertKopecky.blogspot.com, and links to his appearances can be found on his site: www.RobertKopecky.com. He and his wife, Sue Pike "The Animal Talker," make their home in Palm Springs, California. He’s presently at work on his third book, The Zen of Near Death.

In today’s beautiful episode with Robert, he shares with us the talk he have at the most recent IAND’s conference. Robert shares with us some of the great challenges he has faced in his life and the spiritual lessons he has learned along the way that has led him to living a full, abundant life.

#107 A Magical True Story of How a Profound NDE Turned a Young Man Into a Famous Artist and Musician with David Ditchfield

in , , ,
Copy of blog post IMG template (4).png

David Ditchfield is an artist, composer and author. In 2006, he was dragged under a speeding train in a freak accident. As the surgeons fought to save him, he had a profound Near-Death Experience. He later realized that he had acquired astonishing new abilities. The first, an ability to create dramatic paintings of what he’d seen in the Afterlife. The second, the ability to compose classical music, despite being unable to read or write any musical notation. His debut symphony premiered at a sell-out orchestral concert to a standing ovation. He has since composed further classical works, also premiered at sell-out performances and continues to paint and compose in Cambridge, UK. His book, SHINE ON, which tells his remarkable story, is out now.

In this beautiful episode David shares with us his near death experience and the beautiful talents he brought back with him. David’s art so beautifully transports us into the love of the divine.

in , , ,

Stephen Weber, a Technology Project Manager, and Katherine Plant, a childcare worker and reiki practitioner, live in Northport, Long Island, New York, with their precious pups, Marius, a rottweiler, and Bandit, an Australian shepherd. They both have 22-year old daughters that attend university in Connecticut. Steve and Kathie host successful workshops on The Place Between Here and There, accompanied by music and meditation. In their spare time, they enjoy hiking the many beautiful parks on Long Island, doing yoga, running, and cooking. They also enjoy sharing their spiritual enthusiasm by hosting kirtans, full moon ceremonies, sound healings, and guided meditations with friends. Steve and Kathie love to hear from their readers and are thrilled to answer all correspondence.

Stephen, Kathrine and I continue to discuss in this episode how the lessons of the near death experience can help heal a grieving heart and teach us the greatest lessons in pure unconditional love.
