If it is TRUE - we are Energy playing Human Beings, everything is vibration and frequency, then we are each playing in this field of consciousness.

So when we Die - we might be dropping the body, identity and story. Transitioning into something else - I used to call it “The Greatest Mystery Known to Man”.

When I worked for Hospice I would Honor and Respect whatever the person transitioning was experiencing each individual’s journey.

🎉Can we start to think about death and dying differently?

🥰Perhaps we can eventually as a society release the FEAR (false evidence appearing real) about death and dying.

Maybe, just maybe, 🤔 it might lead us toward Awakening and Living more fully!

💙In Tibetan practice - they would contemplate death. “I am dying, we all die”. In so doing, it leads to living more Fully NOW.

🎁They would all sit around the dying person Hold space for person actively dying.

🙏Can we start to talk about approaching EOL Care differently. Based on our new understandings. Based on old Cultural Practices. Then maybe we can even approach EOL Care with more Compassion, Community, Presence and Support than ever before.

🤓Just some thoughts after years of experiencing the Suffering that comes from denial, avoidance and full on Medicalization without adding the Spiritual. After the large number of people who die alone.

💜The Energy Truth of Be-ing is coming more into the Light - exposing what no longer works. Let’s Hold a Vision for what does and Co-create a New Earth Together!

Love and Light 💜

I sat on the couch, next to my Hospice Patient, who had asked me to come specifically to hold presence and energetically assist her. I thought I was simply going to sit in Mindful Meditation with her. It was 2005 and I was in for a big surprise.

As I went into Meditation, we energetically left our bodies and I sensed we were somewhere else. She said we were in a “tunnel”, there were others there and she asked me if she should be afraid. I sensed there were others - I didn’t sense anything negative so I told her “I don’t think so”.

We continued.

Then - I had an experience I cannot with human American English do any justice. I make attempts to describe with words like Bright White Light, Absolute Peace and Tranquility, and full Unconditional Divine Love - no Body, No Duality. I sensed and Knew, if we went any further, we would be “Dying”, severing the cord and we would not be coming back to our Earth Stories or Bodies.

Then- suddenly I felt us go back quickly. I started to be able to sense my feet, my hands, the couch. I opened my eyes back in her living room where I was sitting on the couch with the patient and her brother was sitting on the chair.

She said. “I am not afraid anymore. I am ready”. She also told her brother she “left him a message for when it’s his time”

As I was leaving she said very bluntly and with clear meaning “thank you. Good Bye Kim”. Her brother was saying “we will see you next week”. She stated again “Good Bye Kim”. I told her “I know”. Within 24-48 hrs she took that her last breath and Transitioned Peacefully.

I learned over and over again in Hospice, we are not our thoughts, not our mind, not our body, we are not our story or identity.

We can hold space for and even energetically assist people as they Transition.

I was working for Hospice 24 years ago and discovered Nearing Death Awareness. This was a term created by two hospice nurses for the patterns of strange behaviors hospice workers were noticing for years. Maggie Callenan and Pat Kelly put it all in a book called Final Gifts 🎁

I witnessed these behaviors over and over again as I worked as a Medical Social Worker for over 10 years.

Then, around 2010, I began to awaken to things like Intuition, Psychic abilities and Mediumship abilities. I became very Aware of Spirit.

I was also well trained in Mindfulness practices and learned through the teachings of Ram Dass, author of Be Here Now and Still Here, how to hold presence for people who are what we call Actively Dying.

I am now a Certified Death Doula and I am a Psychic Medium.

I discovered over the years how helpful it is to bring Psychic, Mediumship, and Healing practices into End-of-Life Care.

💜The death positive movement is a social and philosophical movement encouraging open, honest, and taboo-free conversations about death, dying, and corpses.

💙Founded on the belief that hiding death causes societal harm, it promotes accepting death as a natural part of life to reduce anxiety and empower personal choices in end-of-life care, eco-friendly funeral alternatives, and increased engagement with the dying process

If we are Energy &Energy doesn’t die It Transforms,
how then do we approach Death?

My Notes from the bedside of the dying:

Each patient showed me the light. The ones that could talk, talked to me about it. What is happening? Am I dying? White lighting - something happens where I can sense they are opening up to the transition process. One said “what is happening?” I said “what do you think is happening?” She said "I think I know and I don't know". I said “you have an idea and you don't like it". “Yes” was her response. She knew she was dying. I reassured her she was in a safe place - an inpatient hospice unit. With reassurance we would do our best to keep her comfortable.

This is the hard part in the Dying process Where we let go of Everything, including people, places, things, unfilfilled dreams, our identity, the story we are living, the body - even the breath. Then we Transition.

I call it Transition. Science tells us it is an absolute “Energy does not die, it can only transform”. If we are Energy beings having a human existence, then… we cannot actually die. We essentially drop our bodies and our stories and transform - Transition.
