Out of This World
In 2020, I participated in a Shamanic Ceremony in Mexico in which I had an Out of Body Experience or “OBE”. I physically left my body and abruptly found myself in another “realm” convinced that I had died. It was purely peaceful, comforting, and heaven-like in a way that I could never have imagined. I didn’t know if my body was in an ambulance on the way to the hospital, lying on the woman next to me, or already buried. All I know is that I was perfectly calm, content, and instantly assured there is more to life than what we can see. It was not something I chose. It just happened unexpectedly.
This afterlife event profoundly changed my life forever and led me on a journey to find out everything I could about these occurrences and other’s experiences with Near Death Experiences (NDEs). It turned out these events are widely reported around the globe and researchers have been studying them for centuries. There are even institutions and major university departments focused solely on this research.
It also led me to new friends who have experienced similar altered states of consciousness via natural guided modalities (ie. meditation, breathwork, Ayahuasca, binaural beats) or unexpected events such as a car accident, during surgery, war, or other traumatic experience. A family member also opened up about their experience.
My entire perspective on life, its purpose, and our connection to the divine was radically changed. This search for answers exposed that everyone has the ability to connect to these unseen energy frequencies and there are countless healers in our communities able to guide you there.
Everything is a vibrational frequency performing in accordance with the laws of physics and sub-atomic energy. The healing modalities I use to balance these energies with Reiki, crystals, and sound have been shown to provide mood improvement, ease physically ailment, reduce trauma symptoms, PTSD, and more. I can attest to all of them personally, which is why I was called to share this knowledge. With all of the modern day distractions, its easy to lose track of these natural ways of healing.
By taking a slow, methodical, and logical approach to energy healing and the spiritual realms, the more convinced I became that it was having a positive impact on my mind, body, & spirit. I’ve lost all fear of death and know that it’s not so bad on the other side. It’s by far my life’s greatest experience!
Additional positive changes experienced since this event include:

More generous and charitable
Convinced of a life purpose
Rejections of limitations in life
Easily engage in abstract thinking

Very little bothers me anymore
