I can’t tell you how blessed I feel to be a part of this production. Todd Hewey and his fabulous team has a way of capturing our stories in a deeply meaningful way. I admire the conviction he feels that near-death experience stories bring more people into communion with the love of God. Our stories are deeply personal, and our lives have been forever changed by these moments in the afterlife. Todd Hewey understands the complexities we each have faced in coming back with our messages, and he honors our stories in beautiful and true ways. I have told my story many times on many different platforms, but there is something special about this production. I do hope you will support his team in their efforts to spread our stories in a creative, wise, and authentic way.




Be Like a Little Child

/ Tricia Barker, Author of Angels in the OR / 1 Comment

A near-death experience (NDE) is a crash course in how to effortlessly detach from the limited perspective of the self. Imagine instantly transcending every basic need for survival and every desire that your heart and imagination can conjure up? Imagine finding yourself in a realm of endless possibilities. If given the ability to soar freely through the cosmos, why would you choose to remain grounded, peering into the divine through a peephole?

The challenge of a near-death experience happens when the soul returns to the physical body and physical world. Describing this experience is like sharing tales of a revolutionary discovery without the aid of any visuals. While on the other side, I was instructed to remind people to be like a little child. However, returning to innocence takes radical change, especially for those who are on a spiritual, religious, or scholarly path. Perhaps, one of the hardest things to do later in life is to unravel all the lessons that you have accumulated the hard way and become open again, willing to see what comes next and how to love each new experience into existence.

Insisting upon being “right” or adhering strictly to a set of beliefs often leads us away from love and, paradoxically, away from the very essence of the paths, religions, or set of moral standards that we claim to follow and understand. A willingness to learn, grow, and evolve is the hardest first, second, and final step for every single one of us. Love is the goal…not being “better/smarter/faster/tougher/more prepared/more devout” than others. That’s ego. We certainly don’t take “being better than others” into the afterlife. Love is all that we take with us when we leave these bodies.

Reminding people to be like a little child echoes a particular teaching of Jesus. In Matthew 18, the disciples of Jesus asked him, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Of course, Jesus answered the child. The one who is authentic, innocent, loving, humble, and true. Not the ones who went to church every Sunday and couldn’t love (or even tolerate) anyone but themselves or those like themselves. Not the ones who condemned, gossiped, held grudges, withheld forgiveness, and refused to have fun or joy. Not those people. The child. The one without shame. The vulnerable one. The meek one. The humble one. The loving one. That’s the one.

A Few of My Favorite Things

/ Tricia Barker, Author of Angels in the OR / 2 Comments

This year, I’ve had fun creating and connecting with you through YouTube Shorts. I wish you plenty of time in the New Year to focus on your creativity, your work, and your joy.

A bit about connecting with your angels and guides!
When I hear atheists argue, I actually like some of their points because of their intelligence and academic study. However, I do think they lack experience with the realm of consciousness outside of the physical form.
Over the years, I have loved studying archetypes from the writings Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Caroline Myss and others. My college students enjoy finding their particular archetypes through this quick online test. They often report enjoying the creativity and openness of this discussion more than the traditional discussions based on Myers Briggs, DISC, etc. 

Throughout time, the archetypes that I’ve resonated most with are the Artist/Creative, Spiritual Seeker, Explorer, Eternal Child, Sacred Clown, Sage, Healer, and Alchemist/Magician. Obviously, with these archetypes, my life has been a wild ride. And, if I laugh “too much,” it is only because we all are moving at quick speeds through eternity. And, I have great compassion for myself and others on their rides.

When you have died and know the other side, you know the ending and the beginning. Only the middle is a surprise, but even then I get flashes of knowing. I find it challenging to take anything too seriously because I never forget my soul’s eternal knowing and permanent residence. 

Here’s to joy in the middle and on the wild ride of your life!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, & YouTube Shorts

I have had an enormous amount of fun creating uplifting, thought-provoking YouTube Shorts from the Limitless Love Online Summit I recently hosted with Shaun Lether through the Conscious Awakening Network.

Here are some of these YouTube Shorts from the guests that have resonated with people. You can find each of their full interviews on my YouTube channel.

Spreading Peace and Kindness One Thought Bubble at a Time

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

Many people who follow me and reach out to me are sensitive, empathic individuals who feel the terrors and tragedies of this world deeply. They are people who want to make a difference. I made this video for those who feel that their efforts are not enough. They are. Keep working in the direction of light. Keep empowering those around you. Keep centering your messages around the potential for greater peace.

I know that it is difficult to stay informed when the news is intensely visual. I like to remind people that reading instead of viewing the news allows you to add your own critical thinking to what is written and also allows you to decide what direction to point your energy. 

These complex problems cannot be solved in a day, but let’s think long-term solutions. If you are a therapist and decide to take more classes to help children with PTSD perhaps you are preparing yourself for the day when you can help a child leaving a war-torn environment. Perhaps, you are preparing yourself for a future volunteering opportunity to work with children who have been liberated from trafficking. If you are writing a children’s book, imagine that this book might remind a child of his or her resilience, goodness, and strength. Your efforts in the direction of healing and peace matter.

We cannot turn away from what this world is undergoing, and it will not diminish your life if you jump into the real work of this world. It will connect you at a deeper level to purpose and all that you want. You are capable of holding this world in your heart. Adding light to the darkness is our work. We don’t turn away from the darkness, we show up and offer kindness. We remind others that they can heal and that they have access to a flow of unconditional love.

I don’t always understand how spirit works, and I was shocked back in 1995 when Yitzhak Rabin’s spirit showed up and gave me a message. I wondered why a Prime Minister of Israel would take the time to communicate with me, someone who he didn’t know. Perhaps, I was simply there with him as he transitioned. 

I went into meditation as soon as I heard he was assassinated followed him on his journey. This happened the first semester I was back at college after my near-death experience, and I was wide open and soaking up everything I could learn about the spiritual journey. Rabin’s spirit told me that working toward a peaceful world is very difficult work and requires the participation of the majority of people on the earth. Peace must spread in the hearts and minds of people before it is evident in the physical realm.

Any work we do to help others release trauma, judgment, pain and other triggers gives them space for peace. Any work we do to create more peace in our own lives gives us greater energy to help others find peace. We are all indeed connected, so when you do the hard work of this world in helping others, you benefit greatly from these efforts. Your soul knows its destiny is greater than the situations of your life.

If I know anything, I know that you are greatly blessed as you bless others, no matter your religion or background. No matter how much you have personally suffered, there is always someone who needs a hand to help them stand up again.

Kindness Can Lead to Profound Societal Changes

/ Tricia Barker, Author of Angels in the OR / 4 Comments

“Pessimists say that this is a dystopian science fiction nightmare, and that human beings divided into savage tribes will end up devouring one another, like in Cormac McCarthy’s terrifying novel The Road. Realists think that this will pass, as so many other catastrophes have passed throughout history, and we will have to deal with the long-term consequences. We, the optimists, believe that this is the shock needed to amend our course, a unique opportunity to make profound changes. We can’t continue in a civilization based on unbridled materialism, greed, and violence.”
― Isabel Allende

Nature is made of inevitable cycles of birth & death, creation & destruction. However, when you orient your focus on what you can create, you naturally focus less on destruction. Everything is not going to “get worse,” unless that is your focus. If you turn your attention primarily on collapsing systems in deep need of creative, uplifting ideas, there isn’t room for the magic of creation. Your physical existence is finite. Answers are infinite. 

So, rest and relax. Open your mind to creativity. The power of your consciousness and the power of your higher self can direct energy, but you must decide what to direct into being. One act of kindness can shift an entire timeline. No matter how much has gone wrong, one kind deed matters in a sea of cruelty. That is the place where the miraculous can grow.

Near-death experiencers often bring back a message of love and unity, but humanity (and a lot of NDErs/Spiritual Teachers/Ministers) haven’t completely mastered the art of basic and consistent kindness. Can we expect greatness from the rest of society when those talking about love struggle to be loving?

I’ve talked about being gaslit, lied about, defamed, and abused/attacked by people desperate for a following in the spiritual community. I’m grateful that energy of attack isn’t within me. A clear mind and a heart that wishes success and happiness for everyone helps me sleep very well at night. But, I can work on not snapping back at a triggering comment on YouTube. I can remember that sarcasm isn’t everyone’s favorite dish. I can set boundaries with more grace. We can all work on creating from a place of kindness.

Healing is knowing yourself well enough to let the light shine through you and show up as your best self, even if others misunderstand you, even if every human being around you is triggered and ready for a fight. After deep meditations, you can walk out of fires into the most beautiful of seasons and creations.

Many strong souls set an intention to come into the world and see the light in the middle of great darkness and create something better. Believe that you are one of these souls!

“Whatever was still alive had reason for hope.” –Victor Frankl

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

Day One From the Annual Near-Death Experience Online Summit!

/ Tricia Barker, Author of Angels in the OR / 2 Comments

Hi Beautiful Light-Filled Souls,

Thanks for participating in the live online near-death experience summit this year! If you were not able to make it, I decided to keep Day One available on my YouTube channel. I hope you enjoy the messages from near-death experiencers and the healings at the end of the day. It starts at about minute 8:05. 

I am just one person organizing these events and producing them, and my latest YouTube video is about letting go and the spiritual lessons of surrender. This year is my last to produce this event! You would think as a near-death experiencer that I would be great at letting go since I experienced the bliss of that transition to the other side and felt absolutely no remorse about leaving the physical realm. There was so much joy, wonder, and excitement behind the veil.  It felt like being birthed into the spiritual realm.

However, here in the physical realm, I still suffer from loss and grief. I know how painful it can be to let go of pets, loved ones, relationships, jobs, dreams, goals, plans, and the sweetest of hopes, but sometimes it is important to do this to find the joy and magic in what comes next!

I’m deeply grateful for the comments from people about how their faith has deepened, how they are certain of the afterlife after watching these videos, and how they have experienced healing. People spoke of their creativity being ignited and much more.  Connecting with the viewers has been a joyous four years of production. I’m so grateful for your support and that I was able to spread light this way for the past four summers.

However, like any business venture, if it isn’t sustainable, then it is time to do something else. I am embracing what will be new in my life and walking into the future with the best of intentions and as much light as I can channel into this world.

Since this is my last online near-death experience summit, I want everyone to see the great talks from Dr. Villodo, Lisa Romano, Brooke Grove, Dr. Sharon Prentice and many more! Many of the speakers talked about grief, healing, recovery from narcissistic abuse, connection to guides and angels, and shifts in consciousness.

If you would like to purchase the package which contains the videos and audios of the pre-recorded videos and live videos, here is that link. The Coupon Code is LASTSUMMIT40 and this makes the entire package only $40 dollars. Once you purchase the package, please remember your login and sign in here to see all the videos and audios. https://www.globalascension.network/login

If you purchase the package, you will also have the link to join my community meetings on specific Wednesday evenings. I have guest speakers join, and I do group readings, group theta healings, and learn from you! See the last link in the recordings for more information about that and the zoom link. If you are only interested in the spiritual community, the first month is free, and here is that link! https://www.globalascension.network/offers/NLhSG4CR/checkout

I hope you all have more moments of living fully and living passionately! And, I hope all that is lost is a great learning tool and comes back to you in one form or another. 

All we take with us is love, and I have loved all the beautiful days of these online summits and talking with all the inspiring speakers.

many blessings,

Tricia Barker

WFAA Good Morning Texas Segment

/ Tricia Barker, Author of Angels in the OR / 2 Comments

I’m grateful to the reporter Paige McCoy Smith for covering my near-death experience story and my book on Good Morning Texas. We filmed at the beautiful Fort Worth Botanical Gardens, and this setting helped convey the message from my near-death experience to remind people to go to nature to relieve stress and reconnect with inner peace.

Here’s a link to the story.

It was windy and there were leaf blowers, but we got that filming done anyway!
