Diane Goble drowned and had a near-death experience in 1971 during which she received specific information to bring back with her to share with others. For the past 35 years she has been involved in the field of death and dying as a spiritual counselor and hospice volunteer, and is the author of several books, a blog "Let's talk about death and dying..." and a major NDE web site since 1996, BeyondtheVeil.net (now dianegoble.com). She created a training course to teach paraprofessionals to be Transition Guides for those who are getting ready to leave their bodies and return to their spiritual home-according to their own beliefs. Her message is that we don't die, only our bodies die-- but we don't need them any more. Our soul consciousness existed before we were born into a body and continues beyond the death of our body. We are beautiful spiritual beings of light on an eternal journey and shedding our skin is part of our spiritual growth and the evolution of consciousness. In "Beyond the Veil: Our Journey Home," Goble condensed her Transition Guide Training Program into this handbook for caregivers and patients. It offers a simple, non-denominational method of meditation and guided imagery practice to help us remember who we really are while still in our body. "By practicing to die consciously before we die physically," she says, "we are prepared and aware of what's happening when we find ourselves out of our body-no matter how it died. This book is for every one because we are all, after all, going to make our transition one day, but it is especially germane to anyone who has received a terminal diagnosis and for adult children caring for their aging parents. It will help you and your family to have the conversations you need to have about end of life care and your last wishes. It will help the person leaving reconcile this life and prepare for a peaceful transition on their own terms. You'll find information about palliative and hospice care, final arrangements, and Death With Dignity laws. You'll delve into the subject of near-death experiences and the current research into the survival of consciousness, and the ancient mysteries that gave birth to our understanding of death and the afterlife. This is no ordinary book and it is guaranteed to change your life!
