Welcome back to Bright Lights Beyond...THE GRAVE! Season 2 is in full swing, join Marina and Lexie as they tackle questions and concepts about death, dying, and the afterlife!
In this episode, Marina and Lexie talk bodies; warm and cold! Through our NDE's studies we've found some possibility of where our souls might go when we die but what happens to our physical bodies? It's a little more "cut and dry" ... or is it?
Throughout all of history the ritual of death has been practiced and perfected over and over again. It's important to not only the person who's died but also the people who loved that person. In looking at Egyptian, Tibetan, Mexican, Malagasy, Nordic, and even modern American cultural funeral processions and rituals we can get a better sense of how universal death, dying, and remembrance is!
Whether through mummification or viking burials, how does the way we send off our dead make a difference in them getting to the afterlife?
And, how does the process of remembering our lost loved ones bridge the gap between life and death like in the practices of Día de los Muertos or Famadihana?
We hope this episode helps you remember that losing someone doesn't mean you've lost them forever, it's a part of life. Remembering them and looking forward to meeting them again is something that is shared throughout the world and in almost ever culture! Come along and learn as we go over some of our favorite practices... you might be making some *asterisks* to your funeral arrangements!
