Since my awakening in 2009, I’ve been researching many aspects of spirituality with a focus on what happens when we die. I’ve garnered lots of information from books about past lives, soul planning and NDEs (near death experiences), mediums, channels, spiritual teachers, as well as through the various memberships I’ve been part of. I’ve come to learn a lot about the death process, life reviews, the nature of the spirit world, reincarnation and the soul planning process.
I’ve decided to share what I’ve learned - as well as what I’ve channeled from my Higher Self and team of Spirit Guides - in a series of blogs, starting this month. Over the coming months I’ll be answering questions like "What happens when we die?" "What is karma?" "Do we come back?" "When we return, can we be a different gender/race/species?" "Is time travel real?" and "What are parallel realities?"
In this blog we’ll be taking a look at the death process. But before we begin…
Grounding exercise
These concepts can be quite hard to grasp, and when a subject is too ‘out there’ we can find it difficult to understand and remember. In order to be better able to integrate these concepts we will need to start with a brief grounding and energy management exercise.
Start by focusing on your breath, taking several slow, deep breaths and quietening down the mind.
Then imagine you have roots coming out of the soles of your feet, plunging deep into the Earth below you. These roots travel all the way to the very core of the Earth, connecting you to the planet’s energy.
As your roots connect you, you draw up the energy from the centre of the Earth which comes all the way up, into your feet and up your legs, into your body. This energy travels all the way up through every chakra, every cell of your body, right up and out of the top of your head. This energy cleanses you of anything that doesn’t serve your highest good and envelops you in a layer of protection.
Take a slow exhale and feel yourself relax. Now let’s begin.
The death process - what happens when we die
When a human dies, we cross through the veil and back into the spirit world. But before we get there, we are shown a route – some people see a tunnel with a bright light at the end, others see a door – we are shown this in a way that feels comforting to us. Our Spirit Guides and/or loved ones will be there to meet us, showing themselves to us in a form that is familiar – so we might see a loved one looking like they did when they had a physical body. This is so we can recognise their energy. We are never alone when we’re crossing over.
Returning Home
We return to the spirit world straight away and we rejoin the rest of our Higher Self. When I channeled my Higher Self on this subject, I was told there is no 'in-between' realm that we need to go to on the way back to the spirit world; we are pure light energy and as such, we move straight back to the spirit world. This happens in an instant. We can't get 'stuck' anywhere as we are pure spirit. We detach from our ego and emotions, but we retain our consciousness and our soul. We start to remember the true nature of the universe. We feel connected to everything, stepping into unification and stepping out of linear time. We also remember everything we knew before incarnating.
Life Review
I channeled some guidance from my Higher Self in relation to the life review that so many people experience as they cross over (this is a popular phenomenon in Near Death Experiences). I was shown that the life review is part of a decompression process; as the brain and the body die, all our memories leave the brain but are retained by the soul. We witness this happening as we leave the physical plain. The life review is not a form of punishment, or to show us what we did ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ – that’s a human perception. It’s a neutral experience. We aren’t praised or punished! We come to Earth to have the fullness of experience and we will, at times, play different roles – victim, perpetrator, saviour etc. We want to understand all aspects of our experience, from all perceptions. The human part of us (the ego) might not want to do this – but the soul does. But the life review is not a sit-down movie where you watch all the 'bad' things you did. It's simply part of the death process.
Once back in the spirit world, we are reunited with all of our passed loved ones, humans and animal! We rejoin our Higher Self, which is a huge energy source from which our soul originates. We remember and reconnect with all our other lives, all our other experiences and we regain the knowledge we had before we incarnated.
Near Death Experiences (‘NDEs’)
It's my understanding from the research I’ve done that when somebody has a Near Death Experience (NDEs), many of them will travel into some sort of light, perhaps by going down what appears to be a tunnel of light. They will often meet with Spirit Guides or passed loved ones from the spirit world, or perhaps they will see a diety; whatever energy they are comfortable and familiar with. With an NDE, they are told they have to return to Earth as they’re not yet ready to cross over. Many people report not wanting to come back as they feel so peaceful without the constraints of the physical body, but they do return and are then able to share their experiences with others, which can prove very comforting. Imagine having a glimse of the spirit world and how amazing that must feel! It's no wonder many people report not wanting to return.
One book I would recommend on the subject of NDEs is The Art of Dying by Peter and Elizabeth Fenwick. Dr Peter Fenwick is a highly-regarded neuropsychiatrist who has studied the human brain, consciousness and NDEs for over 50 years. In this Telegraph article, Dr Fenwick provides more information about NDEs and this Psychology Today article focuses on whether consciousness exists inside or outside of the brain.
Look out for next month’s blog when I’ll delve into reincarnation, karma and the soul planning process!
