Co-Sponsored by The Past Lives Podcast
Noon Central, 11 AM Mountain, 10 AM Pacific, 6 PM in the UK.

British multiple NDE Experiencer, multiple STE Experiencer, and life-long “seer” Raymond O’Brien, will share the story of the “seeing” side of his family, and how he knew in advance about his upcoming death in 2009. He’ll describe his multiple NDEs which happened when he was resuscitated 10 times due to cardiac arrests. He will describe how these NDEs impacted him, and what happened in hospital – how the staff responded and still do to this day. He will share how what he has seen as a medical intuitive has been validated by medical staff and the clergy whilst he worked on a hospital chemotherapy-unit as a healer.

TOUCHED BY THE LIGHT Exploring Spiritually Transformative Experiences

Dr. Yvonne Kason’s life was touched by five Near-Death experiences (NDEs), the most recent in 2003. Her dramatic Near-Death Experience in a 1979 plane crash propelled her as a young medical doctor to research and counsel people with diverse types of peak spiritual experiences. In 1994, she coined the now widely used phrase “Spiritually Transformative Experiences” (STEs). These include Near-Death Experiences, mystical experiences, spiritual energy or kundalini awakenings, diverse psychic experiences, and inspired creativity.

Touched by the Light is a synthesis of forty years of Dr. Kason’s research on STEs and their profound after-effects on body, mind, and spirit. Filled with fascinating case studies, Touched By the Light is inspiring to all, as well as a practical guide for those experiencing STEs and their counsellors.
