Contemplation is a practice that’s as old as time. Which may explain why it doesn’t get near as much attention or credit among spiritual seekers as does meditation. But it’s a mistake to overlook it says author, speaker, healer and 3-time Near Death Experiencer David Bennett, who joins Sandie Sedgbeer this week to reveal how and why contemplation holds the key to spiritual transformation for those seeking a connection to oneness. 

David Bennettis a transformational life coach, speaker, healer and Near Death Experiencer whose numerous tv & radio appearances have included Dr. Oz, NBC national news, PBS, and Angels Among Us. The author of two books, Voyage of Purpose: Spiritual Wisdom from Bear-Death Back to Life and A Voice as Old as Time: Contemplations for Spiritual Transformation, his Dharmatalks daily reflections have over 50000 followers on facebook and twitter.
