The Death Walk...a near death experience

A friend shared with me about a near death experience of a loved one.  Her brother-in-law (Bill) had been in a terrible accident and it was touch and go for a couple of days and they put him on a ventilator.

When Bill got off the ventilator, he told his wife he had been walking with a friend (John) who had passed.  Bill told John that he was ready to go (die).  John told him that he (Bill) had to go back, that his story wasn’t done….and that is the memory he woke up with when they brought him off the ventilator.

Bill also told her about meeting Joe while he was on the ventilator.  She didn’t know Joe and he couldn’t tell her much about him so not sure where he had known him before.  Anyway, Joe told him he (Bill) was on a “death walk”.  Bill said yes that he knew that, because he had been on a “death walk” before.  His wife said he had had several near fatal medical issues in the past.  Joe told Bill that he can’t go on (continue down the “death walk”).  Then he said Joe died.

I’m not quite sure what to make of this but wanted to share this while it is fresh in my mind.

Sharing from the heart....about death

I had the opportunity to share some of my heart last night.  A friend had recently lost her father and they had been very close.  She looked like the grief had taken a huge toll.  I asked her if she wanted to talk about him and she nodded.  I understand how difficult it is to talk about a loved one who has passed….and the gut wrenching feelings that persist.

I shared some of the things that I had learned after my Brother had passed in an aircraft accident and my Mother passed after she had had her cake and opened her presents at her birthday party.  The things I had experienced, first hand, as I sought understanding of what lays beyond the life.

I shared my story about how after 10 years after her death, my Mother spoke to me.  Now that I know a bit more, I think she has been talking to me continuously….I just didn’t know how to listen.  Again, I hear her saying, “that’s nothing new”.

I shared my experiences with mediums and how it helped me look at what is beyond and not be in fear.

Long story short….I felt good sharing with her and I think that relaying my personal experiences made all the difference for both of us.  I felt I exposed my heart, with joy, to help her on her journey….as so many people have done for me.

SEPTEMBER 9th - MARS AND SATURN BUILDING UP TO AN EXACT SQUARE

Reposted from my astrologer....

SEPTEMBER  9^th  - MARS AND SATURN BUILDING UP TO AN EXACT SQUARE

Today we have Mars forming a square with Saturn…….moving towards becoming exact by degree on the 9^th/10^th.   Saturn (the father figure, tradition, the government and the military) squares Mars (the God of War, crusades and passion) and basically…….they are not getting along very well.  The energy is stressful with a lot of friction!

What does this mean?   Well for the world, it shows (as above, so below) this volatile and warrior energy we are witnessing in and around Syria……..which is now involving the whole world!    There could be escalation around the 9^th/10^th, and the days following, in one form or another……..as the square becomes tighter and exact on those dates and then gradually pulls apart over the next few weeks.

For ourselves….be aware of your surroundings….watch your own and others driving….watch what you say and what you write.  Watch where you are stepping, and watch out where you are walking (texting etc.).   It is not a good time to confront anyone….. including those at work or a partner.  It is a time when there can be accidents, conflicts, arguments, setbacks etc.   This square on the high side can bring in the passion to start the new “crusades” for the honoring of the ancient knowledge…..the wisdoms of the Elders……the ancients….the other worldly…..and Peace.

You may feel edgy.  You may have a “pit” in your stomach.  It is time to move away from those energies and head towards the high side of them.  The Universe is speaking loudly about making the change…..making the shift into the higher ways of handling conflicts.   The Universe is asking us to learn about “the intimate art of conflict”……caring about the “other” and looking at them (countries or humans) through their eyes, in a hopes of understanding…….or excepting…….so that there can be growth, equal give and take, and Peace.

For the world…..for today and the next few weeks……about all we can do is manifest “Peace”.    Envision what a Peaceful world would look like….what it would “Feel” like……and send those energies out to the collective, humanity, and the world. 

For ourselves…..for today and the next couple of weeks…..be cautious….be aware and be careful…….meditate to calm yourself and to collect your thoughts.  Take the courage and passion of Mars and direct it towards becoming the Spiritual Warrior for humanity.   Be the pioneer for all, and take that energy to start a crusade for Peace in the world.   What would the “Wise One’s” say?  

The Universe is giving us the power and is speaking loudly…….it is time to take a step any step, just move forward.  It is time to pay attention to your Hart….the Hart it is the New Brain….think with the Hart….come from the Hart!    Meditate………ask for guidance.  Manifest and create a peaceful beautiful world………
