Hello, and welcome. In this section, we'll be talking about overcoming the fear of death. So let's go ahead and talk about death. Or more specifically, let's talk about your death. Now, it doesn't matter if you're the most fearless or the strongest person in the world. When someone is diagnosed with cancer, somewhere in the back of their mind, thoughts of death will be lurking.

So when I worked at the cancer unit in Bellingham, Washington, I would see patients for six sessions. And in one of those sessions, during the course of our treatment together, what I like to do is take the topic of death head on, and it's kind of timid and not sure if I should do that when I first started working with patients, but when I did, I was amazed to find out that most all of them are relieved to talk about debt. Because in their circle of friends, and in their family, and even with the health care providers that they worked with, almost all of them treated death as a taboo, and they were all afraid to talk about it. So when I brought it up in our sessions, it was something people were eager to talk about. Now, that brings me to my own personal story with death.

I had a near death experience about five years ago. And what happened is that I got bitten by a would tick. And the resulting infectious disease like it was something between malaria and Lyme disease. The doctors never knew what it was. But for a course of as I was sick for about seven months, but in those first week or so, I was going in and out of sweats and chills, followed by delirious and I went into the edge of a coma. And when I was in the edge of the coma, what happened is that I actually saw the light.

It was like this great experience. And so what I saw was a threshold of a door and there is Like marshmallow consistency of light that was bolting out the door. And when I saw that, more than anything more than anything, I want it to go into the light and pass the door because I really wanted to see what was on the other side. However, I instinctively knew that it wasn't my time. And so when I healed and recovered and came back into the earth plane, one thing was very, very clear to me. And I was sure of one thing beyond the shadow of a doubt.

And what that was, is that I'm not afraid to die. In fact, I'm actually kind of looking forward to the adventure, I think, when that time comes. And so when I work with patients, one on one and I was working with them in the hospital, one of my goals was to help them overcome their fear of death, or maybe even better to go into a peaceful state of thinking about their death and so so through talking about or going into meditation, when people could come to a state of peace with the in evitable of their own debt, all of a sudden this shift in perception happened, where nothing really mattered. And so that doesn't mean that it doesn't matter if you live or die. Of course that does. But it brings me back to the statement that I made in the first section is that no matter what happens, no matter what happens, you're going to be okay.

And so if anything I could do is to give somebody that gift to know that when they die, it's going to be okay. Then it takes this whole level of stress off dealing with cancer. And of course, everyone wants to recover. They want to leave their lives and live a full life with their loved ones. But if you can go into that state of peace with your own debt, it takes the pressure and stress off the whole situation. Deal with cancer.

And I saw a lot of patients go through that. And it was kind of remarkable to see that shift in perception create a much more peaceful tone about all of their treatment when, when they're dealing with cancer. So what we're going to do in this meditation that's coming up, is that we're going to go into a deeply relaxed state of peace, we're going to go into a deeply meditative state. And then I'm going to lead you into the experience of actually going into your own death. And coming out the other side. For some people, this can be a very profound experience that creates a shift in the perception, not only about death, but in about the rest of the life that they're going to live.

So join me in the meditation, and let's go into a peaceful and deep state of peace. I'll see you there.
