  3. Dear Diabetes,

    I do not want you living in my body anymore.

    I am tired of negotiating with you, tracking you, managing you, bracing for you.

    I am tired of feeling like my body is betraying me
    when I know it has been trying to survive
    for a very long time.

    I know you did not appear out of nowhere.

    I know you grew in the soil of stress, trauma, exhaustion, and years of living in emergency mode. I understand that. But understanding you
    does not mean accepting you
    as permanent.

    You are not my identity.

    You are not my destiny.

    You are not a life sentence.

    I am asking you to loosen your grip.

    I am not declaring war on my body.

    I am choosing cooperation instead of punishment.

    I will not starve myself, shame myself, or terrorize my nervous system
    in the name of controlling you. That only feeds the conditions that allowed you to settle in.

    I am choosing steadiness.

    I am choosing consistency over extremes.

    I am choosing to regulate my nervous system
    so my cells can remember safety
    instead of scarcity.

    I am giving my liver, my muscles, my pancreas, and my blood
    the conditions they need
    to work together again.
    Not violently. But persistently.

    You are allowed to leave in stages.

    You are allowed to reverse gradually.

    You are allowed to become irrelevant.

    I am not afraid of the work ahead.
    I am afraid of staying frozen.
    And I am choosing movement.

    You do not get to run my life.

    I am reclaiming my body.

  10. I fail to understand why, if we’re sent her to experience life and grow, the other side would intervene at all when we pass? Why does it even matter who we are while we’re here … all the focus on “finding ourselves” and we aren’t “us” to begin with. We are a projection of spirit. After all the NDE’s I’ve seen, some I flat didn’t even believe, I have more questions than answers.

  14. I am writing this in love and nothing else. I always ask Jesus which I saw which I’ve been to the other side and I asked why do people don’t see you?They talk about when we die nobody gets judge.. I got my answer..There are beings of light that the Bible speaks about that are in darkness.. Their job is to lie .. I pray for her to truly see the truth in Jesus name… God Bless

  16. When you die for keeps, your eternal soul which is the true "you" will either end up in Hell or be in the presence of God in Heaven. Don't be deceived by so-called New Age lies that there are no consequences for not believing in God who created us and who became human. His human form is called Jesus. Born of a virgin and 33 years later sacrificed on a cross to pay the price of sin which is death in Hell. Jesus being God and a sinless man, rose from the dead and is now sitting at the right hand of the Father in Heaven awaiting His return to Earth to set things straight.

    John 3:16

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

  31. I’m a bit confused, in the beginning she says she’s in a hotel room and can’t envision herself in MN, let alone getting to the airport and wakes thinking she will be in a car accident. But then she’s says she woke and went downstairs, spent Christmas morning opening gifts and had not even packed so she rushed to pack. Which is it? Was she at home or a friends house or at a hotel room. If she was at a hotel room, as she said, her stuff would likely be packed, but she said she woke, went downstairs and celebrated Christmas then went back upstairs to have a nap.

  32. Isnt rather peculiar That most of these people who tell their nde stories are people that claim that they have had previous mystical encounters as children. I think these are about ego not about experience!

  33. Awakening (Breaking the Illusion) begins with God’s grace and surrender to the Divine. Through the eyes of the mind, you can clearly see that everyone shares the same air and water that sustain this body. The body cannot exist without them. To understand what you truly are, you must reject what you are not. We are not this body; we are conscious beings experiencing this world — including this body — as the “I.”
