Filming for GAIA’s Beyond Belief

Hello Beautiful Light-Filled Souls,

On the flight to Boulder, Colorado to film with George Noory for an episode of Beyond Belief, it hit me how it is my God-given right to shine, and it is your God-given right to shine too. Don’t ever let the judgements and projections of others diminish your excitement for life. Stay vigilant in your joy and light because shining simply means that you have good will for others and hope to spread good energy.

Recently, I interviewed Gordana Biernat, one of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 teachers, and one of my favorite motivational speakers. She reminds us that, “You do not become outstanding by dwelling on your weaknesses. You become outstanding by focusing on your strengths.” Many people struggle with the idea of purpose at this time, and a message I keep hearing is one of absolute unconditional love reminding us that we are doing nothing wrong. Meet yourself with compassion and meet others with compassion, which leaves room for growth and ascension.

In fact, imagine all the negative energy, words, and actions that you have absorbed into your nervous system being removed from you and taken up to that light of absolute love…washed clean and transformed for the benefit of humanity, allowing you to live your life more freely and sustained by that flow of unconditional love.

One of the messages I heard from my NDE was to be like a little child, and the child in this picture below met me with absolute joy and a complete lack of judgement. She was simply excited that I dressed like an angel on the streets of Boulder, Colorado. In the other picture, you’ll see one of GAIA’s beautiful crystals and Joe Dispenza on the wall behind me. I didn’t wear the wings for the filming, but we had some fun with them in pictures. I’ll let you know when the episode airs.

If you would like to join my spiritual community, receive theta healings, and talk about spiritual topics in our group, I would love to have you join. We meet twice a month on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. Central Time. Here is the link! I’m also working with writers at this time to assist them on their journeys to write about spiritual topics. Stay tuned for future interviews on my YouTube channel focused on motivation, healing, and ascension.

Many blessings,

Tricia Barker

Lessons from My NDE

Hello Beautiful Light-Filled Souls!

I appreciate your support and interest in near-death experiences. This is my latest YouTube video. As an experiencer, I know how fragile life can be, and I also know the freedom, bliss, and understanding from my transition into the light. Dying for a few minutes turned out to be the greatest gift of my life. Many years after my experience, I continue to look out at the world and hope to see more people creating lives which are full of light and joy.

We can always reach for greater healing, hope, and connection. We can always make a difference in someone else’s life, and we can always help people by visualizing the best and highest outcomes for their lives.

I would love to have you join my spiritual community which meets on two Wednesdays each month at 7 p.m. Central. Here is a link to join.

We have fun in this group. I give theta healings, downloads, short readings, and more. Often, we simply discuss how to live more joyously and center light for healing and transformation.

May you feel more gratitude in your daily lives!

Many blessings

Tricia Barker

Spiritually Inspired Poems

Thank you so much for reading or listening my memoir Angels in the OR and asking me about my poetry.  I’ll be releasing a short collection of poems titled, ‘”The Self, The Other, & God” in 2020.

my redemption

These poems begin with a reflection on our relationship with ourselves. Others come and go from our lives, but we must learn worthiness of the unconditional love of God in order to experience more peace in our lives.

thispast

Bob Proctor says that fear and faith demand that we believe in something that we cannot see. Fear manifests in anxiety while faith manifests in well-being. May you all have more faith than fear. One of the reasons near-death experiencers continue to tell our stories is to strengthen the faith of others who have not journeyed beyond the veil.

If Love Is All That Matters….

 

 

If love is all that matters, then some lives need to be re-tuned and readjusted in heaven. I’m not saying that as a judgment, more a commentary on modern life and relationships.

Truths are often simple.  Love is of God.  All of our actions that flow from a place of love, flow from God.

Imagine heaven as a reprocessing center.  The life review is a way for each soul to clearly see what was of God and what was not of God. In heaven, a particular relationship might be sent through the reprocessing center and only a few moments might remain—a conversation about God, a moment in church, and holding hands while walking through a beautiful open field.

All the awful screaming of obscenities gets reprocessed into a calm conversation about life, details, and compromises in the physical realm, as if those moments never existed. Those moments disappear into the darkness. Abusive moments are not of God.  Abuse (psychological, spiritual, and physical torture) could never be of the light.

Maybe anyone who has suffered abuse would prefer to see karmic retribution—one’s guardian angels holding the abuser’s head under water until the ego of that person relents and knows God. But, God does not work that way. God heals through unconditional love, of course, even in the most extreme cases of cruelty.

What if you could turn your eyes to God, and simply shut the door to all negative energy that isn’t of God.  Leave it behind.  Banish it in another realm. Imagine a huge door made of iron and shove all the negativity far away behind that door.

Human beings can often create a hell of heaven, and if that is the realm that some people want to play in—leave them to it (behind an iron door).  Keep that door shut, and live in a realm of lighter things—butterflies, green grass, and happy thoughts.  What if you could love yourself the way you wished you had been loved as a child, the way you wished others had loved you?  What if you and God could do that together?

Abraham Hicks says that there is no happy ending to an unhappy journey which means you must find a way to focus on happiness and satisfaction, not on what you are missing in your life.  Additionally, it might mean that you can’t force others to change.  However, you can change your outlook and choices.  You can change your story completely.  You can turn away from all that harms you and walk into the light of God.  You can create a new story in the light. At first this might only start as a meditation, but the light will filter into the reality of your life.

Angels in the OR is as much about transforming the suffering of this planet as it is about a near-death experience. My near-death experience was a profoundly beautiful moment, but so much of what I have survived and witnessed in my physical world is in need of transformation by that light of God.  One of the main questions I receive from readers is how to transform this world with the knowledge of heaven. I think change begins with letting God’s love heal all the painful memories we hold inside of ourselves and shift these thoughts to thoughts of truth, beauty and goodness.

IANDS Conference 2018

This IANDS Conference in Bellevue, Washington was a beautiful experience.  I was so happy to meet Ingrid Honkala for the first time and hear about the beautiful light beings who so obviously guide her through life.  I was blessed by the wisdom that Robert Kopecky shared with me in this video interview and look forward to reading his book How to Get to Heaven.  And, it was great fun to talk with Chris Batts, a newcomer to IANDS conferences whose mission is to remind everyone that they are loved by God.  Peter Panagore and I talked with him about his angel guides and lessons from his near-death experience.

Death and Universe Lessons

Update 1/19/19:  My memoir, Angels in the OR: What Dying Taught Me About Healing, Survival, and Transformation, can be pre-ordered now.  It is a #1 new release in several categories.  I would love it if you helped me make near-death experiences more mainstream.

One thing I have learned from dying is that death is not real but feels like birth into a new realm of understanding.  We go on, and we keep learning and exploring.  We continue to understand our connection to God and how deeply we are loved.

One thing I have learned from communications with my father and others in the afterlife is not to focus too much attention on our little world when it is minuscule in comparison to the universe.  Focus on being kind and loving, but don’t overestimate your importance or influence in the vast expanse of the universe. We all, even the smartest and most spiritually advanced, know very little.

In other words, you might think you know what is best for yourself or for another person but that doesn’t mean that you are right.  It is best to leave things to God and to continue to find wonder and awe in the experience of being alive and connected to infinite bliss, love, and creativity. The more you remember to connect with infinite love, the happier you will be on the roads and paths of your life.

“True spirituality is a thing of joy and of the earth, and has nothing to do with fake adult dignity. It has nothing to do with long words and sorrowful faces. It has to do with the dance of consciousness that is within you, and with the sense of spiritual adventure that is within your hearts.” —Jane Roberts, Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul

Interview With Lisa Smartt

 

Lisa Smartt’s newest book, Words at the Threshold:  What We Say as We’re Nearing Death, includes a collaboration with Dr. Raymond Moody. I enjoyed talking with the linguist and writer, Lisa Smartt, and in this conversation we talked about after-death communication, how to relate to those who are transitioning from this earth plane, and how some of the phenomena at the end of life also relates to near-death experiences.

I loved hearing about some of the poetry inspired by her father in the afterlife.  Not only are the poems lovely, but they are a document and testament that love survives death.  I must say that as I write this, my grandparents on the other side are sending me much love and appreciation.  These bonds of love do survive death, and I want others to know this at a deep level.

Interview with Jeffrey Olsen

Jeff Olsen’s story has touched many people, especially those of us who have experienced the grief of losing a loved one.  In this interview, I got to hear about his connection to his son and wife in the afterlife, his afterlife journey, and a bit about the shared death experience his trauma doctor relayed to him.

Check out Jeff’s newest book titled Knowing: Memoirs of a journey beyond the veil and choosing joy after tragic loss.

Unconditional Love is All Around You

lovehessequote

Update on 1/19/19:  My memoir, Angels in the OR: What Dying Taught Me About Healing, Survival, and Transformation, can be pre-ordered now. It is a #1 new release in several categories.  I would love it if you helped me make near-death experiences more mainstream.

Unconditionally Loved

You are unconditionally loved, and this is an easy enough concept to understand but a difficult one to always feel on your journey.  So many thoughts understood by the mind are more deeply experienced when they are integrated into your heart and a part of your being.  When you are silent, when you simply breathe, when you wake up, do you feel that unconditional love?  What about when you are ill, heartbroken, or unsure what step to take next, can you believe that you are unconditionally loved?  I hope you do feel that love every step of your journey.

Guides and angels do not always give us the exact information we are searching for.  Maybe we are given an image which touches our heart or inspires us in some way.  Maybe we are led to a book which helps us take a different action.  Perhaps, we are guided to be more in the flow of divine love.  You do not have to sacrifice or deny a huge part of yourself to be in the flow of divine love.  God already has you and understands what you need better than you understand.  When you trust in divine love, you will be lead in the direction where you can express more of that love to others.

The Love of God:  We near-death experiencers often talk about the love of God and how it is better than anything we have experienced in physical form.  There isn’t anything more profound than God’s love.  It is, of course, easy to miss that completeness and wholeness.  However, I also love the brokenness and the humor of being human.  I love trying to love myself and love others with more wholeness and completeness.

In a way, spending too much time missing the love of God, denies the sanctity, the mystery, and the importance of community and love between friends, co-workers, and significant others. I have an unusual perspective at the end of any type of relationship whether this be through death, through misunderstandings, or through taking different paths in life.  I completely honor my experience and other’s experience of trying to love.  Maybe the experience was a little fractured or uncomfortable in places, maybe it wasn’t all that we wanted it to be, but the attempt to love is all that matters and is what should be honored.

We can talk for months about co-dependency, love addiction, sex addiction, narcissistic abuse, and all the twisted ways that people try to navigate through their wounds and get to love, but why don’t we honor the human attempts at love more often?  There is less stigma around divorce than in the past, but no one ever seems to say to a recently divorced person, “Wow, you really tried.   You gave that relationship your best shot.  You loved as openly and fully as you could.  Good for your for trying.”   I think that is the way God will look at me and anyone else who is divorced.  God will simply love me as I am, and I know that love will also swallow up the person I loved with an ocean of peace and joy.

We will understand the journey fully in that place of completeness.  I am grateful for the love that is in my life, and I try to honor that love and never take it for granted.  That practice should also be key for anyone in a relationship.  When you see through the eyes of love, you see new ways to love someone.

Forgiveness:  There are stages of grieving, stages of forgiveness, and stages of letting go.  All of this is fine. Last year, I struggled putting into words how I honestly forgive everyone everything.  Although there are people who I don’t want to associate with or hear one single word from for the rest of my life, I do forgive them.  From afar, I hope they are much better to others.  I wish them great peace, complete healing, success, and happiness.  I imagine them loved by the divine and comforted by angels.

When you have suffered a lot, the climb to forgiveness is higher.  The beautiful part is that once you reach that place of forgiveness, it is like reaching a mountaintop and seeing so much of this earth spread out before your eyes.  You know that in every valley, in every small light, all that you want to do is send love to every hurting soul.  You know that at your core, you are nothing but love.  You know that you are worthy of God’s unconditional love, and worthy of all the good that you send to others.

I hope you know that you are loved, and I hope you honor all the ways that you give love to this world.  Love is your guide, your magic, and your best way home.
