In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Emily Turnbull who is currently studying End of Life Experiences as part of her PhD research.

Emily, who was an interior designer, had the life changing experience of having a Near Death Experience (NDE) during a period of illness. This made her re-evaluate her life, opening up to spirituality and the idea that there might be more to life than what she had previously considered. This has ignited a passion within her to explore these transformative experiences and how this knowledge can be used to help others.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Having a spiritually awakening experience can alter the way that you view the world.
• People who are at the end of their life can experience spiritually transformative encounters which may benefit themselves and their loved ones.
• Near Death experiences can provide a sense of clarity and connection.
• Near Death and End of Life Experiences can alleviate the fear of dying.
• There is an increasing body of research that explores End of Life and Near Death Experiences.

BEST MOMENTS

• “I was on a very different path. I didn't really have any particular interest in, or even knowledge on unusual experiences around death. I didn't have any interest in religious ideas or spiritual ideas. I was just really living quite, I suppose, a reductionist life.”
• “ I had been ill. I knew it was pretty serious. I knew something was really badly wrong.”
•  ”And as I came out of my body, all of the feelings of being ill completely vanished. And I started to feel some kind of whole-body euphoria or some kind of, I just felt fantastic.”
• “ Normal reality was like a fog. And I'd started to feel like everything made sense. There was a real clarity, and I understood why humans existed, I understood everything.”
• “I think it's the whole huge expansion of this clarity and sort of the huge feeling of awe and outstanding love and feeling like your whole body is, every atom is full of love. And so it's all about that and it's a real clarity, we understand what everything is all about.”
• “ I love things like this because it’s quite mind blowing really when you start to look into these areas.”
• “When I did my research with the participants they said very similar things, that it seemed like maybe the people who were living were part of a soul family or something that were there to help guide them back onto their path, and also, it made us think about ideas like maybe we are multi-dimensional beings.”
•  ”The question was asked ‘How would you describe dying?’ And somebody said, ‘Oh, I'd say it's death is waking up’”.
