In today’s episode, Sheryl Glick, host of Healing from Within, as an intuitive Reiki Master Teacher and medium, shares a message that consciousness survives death and the keys for our human self-development and knowledge of life, death, transition and eternal life lie in an open mind and hearing the stories of those who have had near death experiences. Joe Laws (http://heldbythehandofgod.com/) author of Held By The Hand of God-Why Am I Alive who had two near death experiences shares his remarkable story of communication with Spirit or God and why he feels he was not allow to die.
Sheryl shares with our listeners that her personal mission is to share with the public what she discovered about 20 years ago as a result of a visitation from her grandfather who told her to write something for her father who then preceded to die the next day. Sheryl was quite ill with the flu, which perhaps allowed her energy to connect to her grandfather’s soul, much like a near death experience. Of course Sheryl wrote her dad’s eulogy but after that, as a reluctant skeptic, Sheryl searched for answers to explain this event. She is not aware of another near death experience, although she almost drowned as a child, but still through following the connections, coincidences, synchronicity, and guidance from above, over time and with effort training and meditation, is now able to download messages and healing energies for her Reiki clients that she believes comes from the place Joe visited in his near death experience. Some may call it Heaven, Sheryl just calls it Upstairs.
Joe and Sheryl share the awe and miracle that they have been blessed to witness: life continuing beyond death and to feel those souls are still connected to us while we are on earth. These connections help bring love and a deeper meaning to our physical life journey. Those of us who have these experiences are compelled to share our stories in the hope that we may help others move beyond the fears and illusions of the physical realm to discover the infinite possibilities for creating the best version of themselves and their life. Understanding we are energy beings helps us to regulate and utilize our precious life force and to keep ever moving forward towards greater love and the creation, preservation and utilization of our natural resources for an improved physical life.
Joe describes himself as a fun loving guy with a deeply ingrained work ethic, family values, and a great sense of humor as well as guy who at times flirted with wild conditions, not always opting to be safe and secure. He shares his most recent near death experience and how Dr. Richard Miller Chief of Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s Trauma unit was able to save his life and restore him to functioning well after very severe injuries.
Joe says he was held by God’s hand from under his back, maybe it was because his chest was so damaged. He says he was picked up so softly and with a gentleness he couldn’t presume to describe. Joe never felt the pain even though the medics didn’t give him any pain medication because they didn’t want to risk knocking him out. Sheryl shares the feeling she had when in a deep meditative state during her second Reiki attunement, and although not a Religious person, she felt herself embraced by a higher force and love much the way Joe explains in his book, and she was also lifted up and held in the hands of a divine force. The experience of being lifted up and received in a higher loving energy during that attunement process was most profound and illuminating, so Sheryl can only say she felt blessed and privileged to have that moment of divine connection. She often thought “What did I ever do in this life to deserve such a moment as this?” Joe agrees to having felt the same way. Joe, in sharing his story of being received in Heaven, and knowing that he was only allowed to return to his physical life to share the story as spirit wanted,
