The Mysterious Experience of Dying, Healing, and Awakening

/ Tricia Barker, Author of Angels in the OR / Leave a comment

Here are some YouTube Shorts which link to the longer interviews. I love how near-death experiencers discuss the moments they realized they were physically dead but their consciousness continued. They express these moments with awe, humor, wonder, and a reverence for the mysterious nature of dying.

Donna Rebadow is a Mystic, Near-Death Experiencer, former Professor, Sports Medicine Acupuncturist, and host of the “Exploring Consciousness” Podcast. In the summer of 1998, Donna had a Near Death Experience that changed how she viewed herself, the world, and other dimensions. After this experience, Donna started exploring consciousness.

She opened her own Sports Medicine Acupuncture practice in 2010, which included treating Major League Baseball players, and elite and Olympic athletes.

Tommy McDowell had a life-altering near-death experience (NDE) during a prolonged coma. As his body failed, he entered the void—a realm of darkness and silence where he faced profound fear and isolation. But in his moment of deepest despair, a presence emerged—pure Goodness, infinite love, and overwhelming peace. A seasoned executive leader in the tech industry, U.S. Army veteran, Tommy’s experience shattered his worldview and revealed a divine presence beyond anything he had ever imagined.

Mike Dinkel is a near-death experiencer (NDEr) and a gifted healer, channel, and psychic. In this interview, we discussed his near-death experience (NDE) and the profound spiritual insights he gained from his near-death experience as a very young child. Mike shares his incredible journey and how it led him to develop a unique approach to healing, energy work, and intuitive guidance. At the end of our conversation, Mike channels wisdom for all of us, offering a transformative message filled with healing and higher consciousness. His work includes CranioSacral Therapy, Reiki, SomatoEmotional Release, Hands-On Healing, Vocal Toning Therapy, and more—all designed to help both people and animals find deep healing. In the full episode, he also talks about some work as a rescue medium. In this experience, he worked with an earthbound soul who believed she would be punished for having an abortion. When we approach the topic of abortion with spiritual maturity, we move beyond punishment and into healing. God does not seek to trap souls in guilt but to uplift them in truth. No matter where you stand, let’s move away from shame and toward understanding. Let’s create space for compassion—for the living and for those who have passed. Because in the end, love is what sets us free. Learn more about Mike Dinkel and his healing work: 🌐 MikeDinkel.com

Heal Your Heart and Unlock Joy

Feeling trapped in survival mode, weighed down by pain, doubt, or grief? You’re not alone—and healing is always possible. I don’t think “one” way is the only way to healing because healing is a personal journey. However, my heart goes out to anyone who is suffering and wants more light and connection in their lives. I share what has worked for me personally.

This growing library of theta healing sessions are designed to help you release past traumas and reclaim your personal power. These are guided meditations and energy healing, so that you can more deeply relax and clear deep-rooted limitations caused by fear, neglect, sabotage, and abuse. Key areas of healing include self-worth and personal growth, clearing blocks to heightened abilities and healing.

Evolving does indeed help you experience greater joy and freedom because the wisdom from the heart and soul of you knows that love is all that you take with you when you go. Spending time offering yourself more mercy and healing is time that pays you and the world around you in dividends.

It pays you beyond the constraints of time and space, and it aligns you right here and right now.

There is no time for self-doubt and discouragement with your circumstances. It is time to connect to the light for your healing.
