Afterlife Communication and beyond – The Dentist

“I tell you with all the strength and conviction I can utter that we do persist, that people over there still take an interest in what is go...

“Just because something bears the aspect of the inevitable one should not, therefore, go along willingly with it.” - Philip K. Dick, The Transmigration of Timothy Archer

And so it goes, death is not the end of knowing or even an end in general, however it might seem from the vantage point of the living. Fortunately and/or not, we can benefit from some highly credible objective overviews acquired by those who have had a near death experience.

11/19/16 Wendy's Coffeehouse with Dr. Tony Cicoria - NDE


No waiting in line. Death happens. Near Death Experience is the wildcard, offering a return from an in-between, altered state that illuminates and defines a broader scope on living, giving life greater depth and added dimensions.

The best part about NDE (more info Amazon: Evidence of the Afterlife via NDERF), each engagement is unique. Dr. Tony Cicoria was and is an Orthopedic Surgeon who could not have dreamed the outcome delivered by his NDE. 

Neurologist, Dr. Oliver Sacks wrote about him in 2007: The New Yorker.
More writing from Oliver Sacks - The New Yorker 
He has several books. Try this one: Musicophilia

Struck by lightning and given a bit of musical inspiration to test his wits and his fortitude, endurance and tenacity produce a concert pianist and music of the spheres. 

Here is Tony performing his Lightning Sonata - no doubt about it - every note, every polychord delivered with divine purpose - and for whatever purpose that might be - each is Heaven sent.

My first interview with Dr. Cicoria, Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett on Empower Radio

Touching on our quantum connections, I kept hearing music when thinking about interviewing him. In looking up the CD, I laughed when I saw the suggestions for similar works. The songs I heard most frequently sounded like Liberace and I had to google to find something.

The dramatic open kept repeating in my head. Hearing the Lightning Sonata, it made perfect sense. Liberace/Rachmaninoff YouTube and Gershwin/Rhapsody in Blue/Liberace

There in the three listening suggestions for similar music was: Rachmaninoff/YouTube Video BBC Symphony Orchestra
In my interviews I have seen a theme, reconciling an NDE is a challenge. Meaning shifts, understanding drifts and new revelations dawn. No matter the case, each story provides a window of awareness into an exotic and ever-nearing realm some might remember as home.

I am so glad Dr. Cicoria was prodded by Dr. Sacks to give his music a space to be heard. Someone here will experience a life changing result in the listening! The magic is in the combination of the keys.  



Near Death Researcher Kenneth Ring: New York Times: You never recover your original self
 
-"After having a near-death experience, people believe the end of life isn't; they believe in some sort of life after death. Death vanishes for them. There's only life. They are so aware of what life is. One man said, ''I finally knew what it was like to be really alive.''

Eben Alexander - The Map of Heaven and Proof of Heaven - the NDE that changed everything

“Who would then deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom I am swallowing the whole universe with it and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space?” - D.T. Suzuki, Zen and Japanese Culture


Wendy's Coffeehouse - with Eben Alexander 11/12/16 Podcast


OddsnEnds - 

Eben Alexander legitimized the NDE experience when he went public with his story and that story continues to evolve.  Interview - Wendy's Coffeehouse - with Eben Alexander 11/12/16
Map of Heaven

Over the years, I have explored many of the hundreds of NDE stories on this site: NDERF.

There is a major difference between those experiences and this one: During the time of his event, Dr. Eben Alexander was hooked up to clusters of tubes and medical instruments that monitored every bodily function and non-function.

During his NDE, his body was diligently mapping the story while the mind and consciousness were engaged elsewhere.

Even more important to his experience is a detail that offers more insight. As a neurosurgeon, Dr. Alexander didn't believe in such things.

Shortly after I interviewed Eben Alexander on his first book, Proof of Heaven (Conscious Living/Empower Radio 2012), he appeared on Oprah and then took some major heat from a writer who tried, unsuccessfully, to discredit him. Details here: IANDS.

Although not the intent, that article, when analyzed and vetted, corroborated and added credence to Eben's story. 

Still enthusiastic and driven to share the details and encourage any who have doubt about an afterlife to be open to exploring their own knowing and if possible, expand that knowing through meditation.

Music is a key element in his effort to enable that expansion process. He heard music during his NDE and is now incorporating a type of sound designed to enhance the meditation and relaxation state. He recommends Sacred Acoustics.

Transformed by death. Living became much fuller and more purposeful. This newest book: Map of Heaven offers a bit of science of consciousness and stories others have shared with him.

For his story, read the first book: Proof of Heaven or view the recap of the NDE on his site: My Experience in Coma.

Thank you for listening!

Animals, Healers and Communicators

You can't control the world, but when you control your thoughts, you bring order. - Bernie Siegel

  • Animal news viral this week: (The Dodo) Cecilia the Chimp has been awarded the right to live in better conditions. The judge said: "We're not talking about the civil rights enshrined in the Civil Code," she told the journal Los Andes, "but instead the species' own rights: to development, to life in their natural habitat." More info: The Great Ape Project.

With that timely piece, I am sharing two interviews for animal lovers. Amelia Kinkade is in CA and a 4 am wake up call was out of the question so she's on Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett on Empower Radio in the archives as of 11/9/16. My Bernie Siegel interview is also in the archives. The two happen to be friends so the combo is a perfect compliment.

Love, Medicine & Miracles was my first introduction to Dr. Bernie Siegel.

Showcasing mind, body, spirit self-healing rather than pharmacological methods, he highlighted stories that focused on stimulating the immune response to boost healing.

(Interviewed him for that book when it came out -- years ago. Didn't keep an audio demo.)
  
Thrilled when I learned he had expanded the healing arsenal to incorporate work with animals: Love, Animals & Miracles, here is our interview on Empower Radio - Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett/Bernie Siegel

Bernie holds Animal Communicator Amelia Kinkade in high regard and recommends her on his site. If you are interested in pursing a more intimate connection with your animal relations, she offers easy to follow guidelines and instruction.

I recently interviewed Amelia Kinkade on Empower Radio Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett. Amelia travels the world sharing her insight on how to connect with animals and she has a star-studded list of references.

"Her unique abilities have been the focus of hundreds of magazines and newspaper articles world-wide including The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, ABC News, The Boston North Shore Sunday, The London Sunday News of The World, Good Housekeeping, Cat Fancy, Dog Fancy, New Woman in England, Bilt de Frau in Germany, Annabelle in Switzerland, and the cover of the Freitseit Kurier in Vienna. Miss Kinkade has appeared on television programs such as The View, The Other Half, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Extra, VH1, Jenny Jones, The BBC News, Carte Blanche in South Africa, and numerous news broadcasts in the US, Europe, and Australia."

Author of several books, her newest book and the focus of our interview is Whispers from the Wild.

Meet Amelia and hear her share her story about healing animals -



In our interview, we spoke about some of her incredible encounters with wildlife; Elephants and a Black Mamba Snake, and a unique approach she used to help her aunt (Rue McClanahan) recover from a stroke. All detailed in her book.

We are learning so much when it comes to the extraordinary abilities of animals to communicate within their own communities and - when we take the time to learn how to relate to them on their terms - how we can better communicate and understand them.
