Let's Talk Near Death

Sheryl Gottschall has had an NDE following a chronic illness, as well as profound Out of Body Experiences (OBEs), and UFO encounters, among other unexplained phenomena. Sheryl’s experiences piqued a life-long interest in the paranormal, leading her into a path of Shamanism and deep research into understanding the meaning of life here and in the afterlife. She is now a regular speaker and writer on topics around paranormal activity. Sheryl also practices clinical hypnotherapy, art therapy, shamanism, and Reiki. Key Topics Discussed in this Episode: - Sheryl's distressing Near-Death Experience following complications from a chronic illness. - The difference between spiritual experiences and paranormal experiences according to Sheryl. - Sheryl’s multiple out of body experiences. - Shamanism, altered states of consciousness, and projecting consciousness into animals. - “As soon as I looked at the bird, Boom! I left my body, and I was in the bird - getting a bird's eye view of me sitting on the deck.” - Sheryl’s belief that paranormal experiences manifest when the time is right for a particular reason. - The idea that some people or personalities are prone to paranormal experiences. “Why do you think your initial Near-Death Experience happened?” Training people to experience OBEs. - A higher intelligence or power that “governs many, many things.” “What's your thoughts around our life? Is it pre-planned? Do we choose it? How much choice do we have free will versus predestination?

Robert Kopecky's story and perspective are rather unique than most. From crashing into a utility pole in his 20's, to going numb after a night out, to being knocked unconscious with a crowbar, Robert has had a brush with death enough times to pick a thing or two on the concept of life and death. Having travelled different paths in his lifetime—including years of research—Robert engages us in an interesting light-hearted conversation where he shares some nuggets of experiential wisdom regarding finding our purpose in life.

Bud Megargee's journey began as a psychology grad student, when he found himself listening to a man in a hospital bed sharing about a near death experience. What he heard led Bud to consider the existence of a soul and therefore an afterlife. Raised Catholic, then after becoming a practicing Buddhist, Bud now tunes into a voice from the beyond to chart a powerful new perspective on the mechanics of our souls and how they relate to the afterlife, and beyond. Bud is the author of SOUL AFTERLIFE - Beyond the Near Death Experience, available at: https://amzn.to/2TvztA8 Join the FREE Online Community at: www.letstalkneardeath.com Sign up for weekly updates at: https://www.subscribepage.com/letstalkneardeathnewsletter Find out more about Kirsty at: www.kirstysalisbury.com ___________________ Kirsty Salisbury is a speaker, podcaster and coach exploring the topics of life, death and experiences in between.
