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. Donna taught at the college level in Arizona for 30 years in the areas of Health, Wellness, Psychology, and Alternative Medicine. She opened her own Sports Medicine Acupuncture practice in 2010, which included treating Major League Baseball players, and elite and Olympic athletes. Donna is a humanitarian, musician, former professional athlete, and consciousness adventurer and was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame with her Wayland Baptist University teammates. https://exploreconsciousness.libsyn.com/

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

Spiritual Community and Readings

/ Tricia Barker, Author of Angels in the OR / 3 Comments

Hello Beautiful Light-Filled Souls!

I’m thrilled to invite you to join our growing spiritual community, where we meet twice a month on Zoom for meaningful connection, healing, and spiritual growth. These gatherings are held on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. Central Time, and I truly believe that together, we create a space of light, support, and transformation.

Here are our upcoming meeting dates:

  • October 2024: October 9th & 23rd at 7 p.m. Central
  • November 2024: November 6th & 20th at 7 p.m. Central
  • December 2024: December 4th & 18th at 7 p.m. Central

✨ Special Offer: If you sign up for our spiritual community in September or October, you can purchase a reading for $100—a special discount of $50! This is a wonderful opportunity to dive deeper into your personal spiritual journey with guidance. Here is the link to book a reading.

You can also book a discounted reading if you purchase an archangel design t-shirt. I love the idea of people walking around the world wearing t-shirts of these angels. The image closest to the angels I saw during my surgery is this design.

If you can’t attend live on a particular night, don’t worry! I’m creating a library of downloadable healings and meditations that you can access anytime through our online portal. You’ll also have access to recordings from previous months in 2024, so you can benefit from the group energy whenever it’s convenient for you. Remember to use the same email to log in and access these resources.

You can join our community for as long as you like, and there’s no obligation—cancel anytime. I believe in making these healings accessible while maintaining the intimate and sacred nature of the work we do together, especially as we dive into deep, transformative shadow work.

I truly believe that in community, we can amplify our light, heal one another, and create positive change. I’d love for you to be part of this sacred journey with us.

Many blessings to you!

Spiritual Community and Interviews

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

I’m a huge fan of ThetaHealing pioneered by Vianna Stibal, and if you are available, I would love to meet with you on zoom for nights of healing and downloads on Oct. 12th and Oct. 19th at 7:00 p.m. Central Time.

On October 12th, the clearings and downloads will focus on worthiness, self-love, joy, and healthy relationships.  We’ll also work on replacing programs associated with anxiety, depression, defeatism, and exhaustion and replace these programs with programs for serenity, hope about the future, health, strength, and vigor. In the chat section, you can suggest personal breakthrough you would like, and I’ll add some healings catered to the group.

On October 19th, the clearings will focus on breaking negative patterning around work, abundance, and long-term goals.  We’ll particularly work on replacing “wanting” energy with the energy of being in creative flow. In the chat section, you can suggest personal breakthrough you would like, and I’ll add some healings catered to the group.

If you don’t want to attend the spiritual community regularly but you would like to pop in for these nights, send a love donation and I’ll send the zoom link to you.

Also, I’d like to remind you to be grateful for the variety of life experiences. I’ve been reflecting on all the different media outlets and magazines that have been curious about my near-death experience. I’m always happy to reach people in a way that comforts them about the dying process and reminds people that there is more compassion and light on that other side than we might imagine.

Some interviews were more of a joy than others, and at times I was mostly grateful to myself for holding an energy of peace but not backing down in the face of people who tried to diminish me or my story. That was the case on the Dr. OZ show. The show was highly stylized.

Although the writers for the show tried to diminish my experience and frame it differently than I tell it, I held my ground. I didn’t need “an expert” to tell me about my experience as it was my experience, and I understand it intimately. Also, as a dog lover, I’m horrified by the latest accusations about Oz. However, I’m grateful for any exposure, including the exposure on his show because it gave me the chance to comfort someone in a hospital room or someone isolated at home who needed to hear about near-death experiences.

Some of my favorite interviews were the ones where I got to know the journalists. The article for Women’s World Magazine was fantastic, and I’m definitely excited for the show on GAIA to air soon.

I’m grateful for all the bloggers, Vloggers, and Podcasters who reached out to me. I’ve met many kind people over the last few years. Here are two recent interviews–one on YouTube on a wonderful channel called Next Level Soul and a cool blog called Mystic Mag.

We need community at this time more than ever, so I hope you have spiritual community. If you can join mine, I’d love to meet with you. If you would like to schedule a reading, I’m open to making hour long readings 30 minutes. Sometimes, you only need a bit of support and that is fine. I’m also open to lowering the price if you buy a package of readings. Contact me and check my schedule!

Thanks to everyone who has reached out to me for a reading or ThetaHealing. I’m sending you light on your journey. Many blessings….Tricia Barker
