To leave this world peacefully, we need two things:
According to experts, there are at minimum two things that are required when a person is labouring to the other side (aka dying) for a healing experience to occur:
1 - the person needs to feel safe & supported so their body can relax, and move through the dying process (which it knows how to do, naturally, just like a mother's body knows how to birth a baby with support)
2- their pain needs to be under control, again, so the body can relax and do it's thing, and the person can shift into other states of consciousness
But what does a healing experience mean when someone is dying?
Healing is not the same as curing.
Healing means becoming whole.
The yogis teach us that our life on Earth is about learning, growing, and transmuting lower energies (hate, pain, shame, violence, etc.) to higher energies (kindness, compassion, forgiveness, etc.).
I can't think of a more profound time of life then when someone is dying to create deeply healing experiences amongst humans, can you?
We are all part of a system, whether our family members are physically with us or not.
We each have a unique role to play in that system, to help it grow, evolve, and raise in consciousness.
In short, to make room for more LOVE.
But often healing is blocked at end of life because of FEAR.
It's very natural to be afraid of the unknown, so making time now when you're healthy, calm, and safe to think about death in bite sized pieces can help reduce fear when the time actually comes.
As a fellow death café-er said to me recently, “no one ever not died” and she's right!
What would you like to have resolved by the time it's your turn to leave this world?
What conversations do you want to have?
What experiences do you want to have?
What do you want to let go of, that you can start today?
COME TO THINK OF IT, DON’T WE ALL NEED SAFETY & PAIN-CONTROL FOR US TO HEAL OUR BODIES, RELATIONSHIPS, AND MONEY-WOUNDS?? :)
If you like conversations like this, allow me to share with you two upcoming Death Cafés in Toronto which you can come to:
The first is being held by my colleague, Nadine, on June 27, 6-8pm, at the Reference Library Branch (in Toronto).
Here is the link to that Death Cafe.

You can find out more info here.
I hope to see you there! RSVP in the link.
There are also other Death Cafés held around the world, and online which you can find out more about here.
Have a beautiful day,
