Description:
A guide to the sacred stages of the death and dying process viewed through the eyes of a Celtic anam-ire

* Emphasizes how shadow work, integrating past wounds, and healing our ancestry allows us to facilitate the ecstatic transition into the next life

* Offers exercises and visualizations to help us integrate emotions like anger and grief, which impact the souls readiness to leave the body when the time comes

* Discusses what happens to our cells when we die with regard to the human energy field and explores the souls journey through the aítes or bardos

In the Celtic tradition dying is considered an act of birthing, of our consciousness passing from this life to the next. Informed by an early near-death experience, spiritual midwife and former nun Phyllida Anam-Áire offers an intimate overview of the sacred stages of the dying process seen through the lens of her Celtic heritage. Compassionately describing the final dissolution of the elements, she emphasizes how important it is to resolve and integrate our psycho-spiritual shadows and wounds in this lifetime. What truly heals is our capacity for authentic compassionate love-in life, in death, and after. Healing our ancestry before leaving the body eases not only our transition but sets future generations free from old stories held in our family systems.

Sharing her insights into God consciousness, our earth/ego mind, and the souls journey through the Aíte or bardos, Phyllidas poetic words guide us toward the final ecstasy as the soul leaves its mater
