Host: Sheryl Glick R.M.T.

Special Guest: Debra Diamond

In today’s episode of “Healing From Within”, your host Sheryl Glick author of The Living Spirit which shares stories of spiritual awakenings, spiritual communication healing energies miracles and ways to relate better to our spirit and physical needs by understanding reality in a broadened metaphysical sense, welcomes Debra Diamond author of Life After Near Death who will share stories of transformation and healing in the extraordinary lives of people with newfound powers, the aftereffects of their near death experiences.

Sheryl and Debra discuss the specific cognitive and physiological near death aftereffects including newfound musical and artistic talents, mathematical gifts, enhanced hearing, elevated IQ, improved eyesight, spontaneous healing, and electrical sensitivity. We will also explore the circumstances and conditions that give rise to a Near Death experience and our assumptions regarding the Afterlife.

Debra studied at the Holistic Studies Institute of New York has completed mediumship training at the Arthur Findlay College in the UK and trained at the Carl Jung Institute in Zurich Switzerland….Sheryl says “I always get delighted when I hear one of my guests is associated or interested in Carl Jung and his work as I am aware he had a near death experience and brought back a wonderful description of that event by writing, “What happens after death is so unspeakably glorious that our imagination and feelings do not suffice to form even an appropriate conception of it.”

Debra suggests her interest in the spiritual realm was a result of a profound experience that lead to a more metaphysical life and prior to this shift was limited to the material world as a mother and Wall Street executive. Debra says she had a spiritual experience that left her as a clairvoyant…in this other worldly experience she found she could communicate with people who had passed over. She became aware of this gift at a class she attended in New York City near Penn station. During the séance part of the meditation which Sheryl also says is sometimes referred to as an Afterlife Circle or Unfoldment group, you actually physically saw many spirits Sheryl Says…. Only 4 percent of mediums see it that way. Debra writes, “I knew I was dealing with a power that was not conventional. More meaningful coincidences occurred and through the studies of NDE. I encountered the complex ideas of Consciousness and Intent that evolved into larger insights of the universe in all our lives.”

Dr. Raymond Moody, a former guest of “Healing From Within” coined the term Near-death Experience in his ground breaking book Life after Life in 1975 in which he outlined nine elements of the NDE, including a life review, an out of body experience, encounters with deceased loved ones, and a decision to return to one’s body. Eight years later Bruce Greyson a professor at the University of Virginia expanded the list to encompass 16 elements including a sudden insight, experiencing scenes from the future, and arriving at a point of no return. Other after-effects might be a feeling of peace with the Universe, a sense of profound love and a connection with a brilliant white light. Regardless of the common elements a lack of consensus of a single definition of the near-death experience still exists. However, the emotional intensity of an NDE is unlike any experience a person can encounter on earth. You do not have to die to have an NDE. Some people experience a near death experiences as the results of accidents, heart attacks and other experiences that are often but not always, fatal.

Sheryl says she has never thought she actually had a NDE but in 1993 but was very sick with the flu when she had an awakening or spiritually motivated event. Sheryl tells us... “I was trying to sleep and suddenly felt my grandfather near my right side..
