What If This Is Heaven?: How Our Cultural Myths Prevent Us from Experiencing Heaven on Earth
If life is about the journey and not the destination, could it be that this is heaven—this physical life we are living here on Earth? What we experience in our daily lives often feels like anything but heaven. But what if we understood how powerful we are—that we are powerful enough to mold both our internal and our external reality?
Anita Moorjani, the New York Times bestselling author of Dying to Be Me, is convinced we can do exactly that. The process, she explains, requires dismantling many cultural myths mistaken for indisputable truths. Beliefs such as “We get what we deserve,” “Loving ourselves is selfish,” and “Coincidences are just that—coincidences,” are ingrained within us from birth, pervasive and influential, leading to generations of misguidance.
Following her near-death experience, Moorjani began to embody truths she learned in the other realm, discovering that letting go of these outmoded myths allowed her to experience heaven not as a physical place but as a state of mind, right here and right now. In this examination of our common myths, she shares stories and examples from her own life, revealing the lies beneath the surface of what she was taught and absorbed. By freeing ourselves from these falsehoods, Moorjani asserts, we can leave fear, heartache, and self-imposed boundaries behind and instead live lives full of purpose and joy.

I was so excited to read this. Moorjani's first book, Dying to Be Me, was one of the first accounts of near death experience that I read. In it, she details how she was on her death bed, experienced the world beyond, and then came back to fulfill her life's purpose. When she came back, the tumors in her body disappeared and she's been fine ever since. It's an astonishing and uplifting reminder of who we are as eternal beings and why we're all here. What If This is Heaven is a continuation of this message in that, now, Moorjani is a teacher and lecturer on the topics of spirituality, healing, and self actualization. It's wonderful. And, it's different enough from the first book that readers don't feel like they're re-reading the same messages. Moorjani has evolved and I'm very interested to see where life takes her from here.
Here are some passages that I loved:
"A major reason why I chose to return to this life during my NDE (near death experience) was because I understood that heaven is a state and not a place, and I wanted to experience, firsthand, the heaven that this life could actually be."
"Remember, your only work is to love yourself, value yourself, and embody this truth of self-worth and self-love so that you can be love in action. That is true service, to yourself and those who surround you."
"On the physical plane, we see love as an emotion, something we have for some people and not others. But the truth is that unconditional love is a state of being, and it's our birthright. Once we begin to tap into that, we realize is has the power to transform all of our relationships simultaneously- including our relationship with ourselves- for the better."
"... illness is our body's way of communicating with us and showing us a better path. Yes, we may die from cancer- or from countless other things- and each of us will die from something at some point. But death is not the enemy. What often is the enemy is the way we view illness..."
Some fascinating teachings about the positive aspects of the ego are included in here: "The ego gives us our sense of identity, our individuality. It's what allows us to know who we are as individuals and to express our uniqueness. If our ego weren't necessary, we wouldn't have been born with it."
There's so much more to enjoy in What if This is Heaven beyond these small bits. If you enjoyed this book, you may want to read Moorjani's other book, Dying to Be Me, I Can See Clearly Now by Wayne Dyer, or Co-creating at Its Best: A Conversation Between Master Teachers by Wayne Dyer and Abraham Hicks.
A big thank you to NetGalley and Hay House for the opportunity to review this book! (They sent me a free digital ARC for review purposes.)

The book’s title got me curious, because I’m interested in all the requirements people believe they must meet to get a good life after death. And this title seemed to suggest an opposite goal.
Clearly, Moorjani has her beliefs about life and death, with her own experiences behind those. But I don’t think you need to accept any particular beliefs to get the experience she shares, of being loved just like she is. She just shares that experience and how it has helped her. I like how she groups her stories around 10 “myths” that people believe about themselves, which tend to make them wonder, “If this is heaven, then why does it feel like hell to me?” My favorite myth that she disposes of is #8: “Spiritual People Don’t Have Egos.”

Anita Moorjani wrote her first book Dying to Be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing after being tracked down by the late Wayne Dyer, who'd come across her story on the internet and wanted to know more about what she had experienced on the day she had been expected to die but miraculously returned from stage four cancer to heal totally and live.
Prior to Wayne Dyer's intervention and guidance Anita hadn't really wanted to share her story anymore after she came under the intense focus of doctors and the medical community all trying to understand the science behind how she recovered - because it wasn't attributed to any medical intervention and defied all medical logic. She found these engagements emotionally stressful, and energetically draining - all she could really tell them was what she had felt and experienced - something not one of those medical experts had ever experienced themselves, yet despite the proof her her living self in front of them, they seemed to not want to accept it, because they had no paradigm within which to explain it. So she stopped sharing the story and refused all further invitations.
She wrote one description of what happened to her and posted it with just her first name on the internet and went back to her life. Some long time after, a friend asked her to speak at an event for people interested in healing and she explained again the reasons why she had to say no. Within those reasons, lay the very essence of what this friend wanted her to share with the group and with a little persuasion, albeit reluctantly, she agreed. She went to the event and was surprised at the difference in the reception, a very different group of people and energy, those who had some inkling of what she had experienced and were open and eager to hear about it without judgement. The day after she opened up to this welcoming group Wayne Dyer's assistant contacted her and that became the beginning of her sharing her story more widely and led to the publication of that first book mentioned above.
I haven't read her first book, I came across her after listening to a one hour conversation between her and Colette Baron-Reid (one of my favourite intuitives to listen to). Colette has a book coming out at the end of September Uncharted: The Journey through Uncertainty to Infinite Possibility which I've pre-ordered and can't wait to read and in the lead up to her publication, she recorded 12 conversations with very interesting and enlightened people working in the spiritual/quantum physics world, in a 'real and raw' series of unplanned conversations. After listening to Anita Moorjani talk, I decided to get this, her new book, What if This is Heaven to read more about how what had happened to her had changed her life in this second phase - after the focus on her NDE (near death experience) had cooled and how the things she learned have continued to manifest and inform her life today.
And it's brilliant - it reads like just the beginning of the gifts she has been given in terms of insights into how reality really is and how she is called to respond to them, because the reality is that she is back living in the material world, where we perceive little of the other dimensions that exist but aren't able to be perceived with the 5 senses of the physical self - and our 6th sense, intuition (or as some call it - the 1st sense) while well developed at birth and during childhood has often by adulthood been drowned out by culture, system, society, parental direction, media, politics, Fear + noise.
The most significant truth she experienced in that state between life and death was the connectedness of everything and everyone and the great power of unconditional love, a phrase that is often used and little understood, but one that by the end of this book, we understand better than ever and in particular the importance of first applying it to ourselves, before we are ever able to apply it to others.
Here she takes just a few of what she calls myths and offers an alternative truth through first describing her own experience or an encounter she has had with someone which highlighted that truth. The myths, which we have learned or been conditioned by in our society/culture/family that she explores are:
'You get what you deserve.'
'Loving Yourself is Selfish.'
'Real Love Means Anything Goes.'
'I'm not OK, You're Not Ok.'
'It's Just a Coincidence.'
'We Pay for Our Sins at Death.'
'Spiritual People Don't Have Egos.'
'Women Are the Weaker Sex'
'We Must Always Be Positive.'
Ultimately, she is a woman who doesn't set out or even believe she is here to inspire, she is following her heart and attempting to live an authentic life and through sharing her story and the things she has learned, does inspire people and help make us see things we feel intuitively but may not practise in our lives.
Highly recommended.

You can't love another unconditionally until you love yourself unconditionally, and when you truly do that achieve that, you will never allow anyone to use you or abuse you.

Authentic unconditional love means wanting for another what that person wants for themselves and allowing that person to be who they truly are - even if it requires setting them free - instead of expecting them to change to fit our ideas of who we want them to be.
Highly recommended.

What If THIS Is Heaven? by Anita Moorjani. ©2016. A NetGalley book that expired, so the library actually provided a hardcopy for me. 5 Stars. This is a recounting of bits of Anita Moorjani’s NDE with lessons learned containing anectdotes and conversations with others, mindfully shattering myths that have been taken for granted and revealing the truths of living with authenticity and joy. Highly recommend both of Anita Moorjani’s books—and even the future writings of a lady who has shared her remarkable experience with the world. Thanks to NetGalley and Hay House Inc. for providing this ebook for review.

تقول أنيتا في كتابها " لم أقم بمشاركة تجربتي كي يؤمن الناس بي ، بل كي يؤمنوا بأنفسهم" وهو - من رأيي - ما يختصر رسالتها من هذا الكتاب .
شكرا لك أنيتا ، لقد تزامنت قرآءتي لما كتبته مع أحداث مضطربه في حياتي وقد أعانني حديثك اللطيف على الرجوع إلى حالة من السلام والاتزان.

Tras el primer libro "Morir para ser yo" en el que nos cuenta su experiencia cercana a la muerte (ECM); y que me gustó mucho, en este, nos acerca al aprendizaje posterior a raíz de dicha experiencia
Con un lenguaje cercano y práctico nos aproxima a verdades sobre la importancia de vivir en el presente y cultivar el amor propio para poder entregar a los demás nuestro verdadero ser.
Escuchado en Audible, el libro se divide en 10 capítulos en los que va haciendo referencia a varios mitos y los va descomponiendo en base a su experiencia vital y su aprendizaje tras su ECM

Although this book was on the edge of my comfort zone due to the sometimes, to me, over the top New Age feel, there was also a lot in the book that spoke to me. In particular, the value of balancing your ego and your awareness. Ego as interpreted here, means how much you love yourself and feel comfortable letting your authentic self shine through to be the direction for your life. Awareness is the empathy and compassion that you feel for all others in the world. Moorjani explains that we are all related - like a tapestry. Each individual contributes her/his own thread to the tapestry and completes the divine whole. By not being your authentic self, you are dimming your divine light.
In her near death experience during Stage 4 cancer, Moorjani experienced the other realm. She says there was no gender, no race, etc., and that all she felt was an unconditional love for herself and everyone in the world. Since she has come back, she feels the most important thing is to love unconditionally and try to spread this love to others. This book is the sequel to Dying to Be Me.

As with her previous book, What If This is Heaven? offers a new and, I feel, more forgiving view of living a peaceful and aware life. It is well organized into some of the major myths that our society imposes on us, mostly subconsciously, and how our lives could be should we choose to consciously stop believing in them and instead believe in who we are as individuals. By honoring the ego, instead of seeing it as "the bad guy" as many spiritual paths suggest, we embrace our individuality, which in turn, honors the whole. I can't wait for her next book and for the movie based on her first!

A great book in my opinion. One I would encourage anyone to read. I think anyone from any faith or no faith can learn from this book and her own experience. I want to share this one with everyone.

كتابها الاول اموت كي أكون انا من أعمق الكتب إليّ سوت لي نقلة بالوعي ونظرتي للحياة والموت ، اتوقع اغلب من قراء الكتاب يوافقوني الرأي ..
بكل اختصار الكتاب بفصوله العشرة يعالج معتقدات معيقة لأننا نعيش حياتنا على الارض وكاننا بالجنة❤
نهاي كل فصل تناقش المعتقد وتكتب معتقداتها الشخصية وأسئلة نقدر نسألها أنفسنا عشان نكتشف عمق معتقداتنا ❤
انصح جداً بقراءة الكتاب
بعيد قراءة الكتاب بتأمل اكثر لكل فصل ❤️

The reader audience appears to be those who consider themselves spiritual, feel there is something bigger than us to join after death, but have no particular religion (or at least a liberal approach to one).
I'm not the author's audience (it is a gift from a friend who was curious about what I think). My particular point of view is "death is it." We live on in those who remember us. I find this comforting, it isn't for everyone, and I certainly don't have a problem with Anita's thoughts on what it means to live, be connected, and not stress about what happens after. I find a lot of commonality with her thinking, and I appreciate several points she makes.
Where we agree:
Much of what Ms. Moorjani is describing is emotional maturity, secure attachment, avoiding energy vampires, mindfulness, and finding time for quiet. She has whispered conversations near the ocean, and I love that, I tend to talk out loud to the birds that flit around my backyard. The idea is the same, find time to talk and listen to yourself.
I agree that a healer, whether mental or physical, will guide a person toward empowerment, helping the self, and not into dependency. The point of therapy is to get out of therapy.
She makes an excellent point; loving oneself is not narcissistic and is necessary for loving others. Also, boundary setting for personal happiness is essential.
The pointed questions at the back of the chapters, to guide self-reflection, are the best part of this book. I think anyone who is on the path to developing a better relationship with themselves can benefit from thinking about them.
"When we are invested in our beliefs, we can feel a great deal of fear when others shatter them." Page 56
Where I had a few problems:
Anita did not die. She was never dead. She came near to death, that's why it is called a near-death experience. Death destroys the brain because it eats itself. There is no way to come back from that. NDEs are the result of the brain being starved of oxygen. During an NDE, a dream state can be induced similar to some drugs. With LSD, there can be a complete disconnect of self as an individual. One exciting commonality among people who've had NDEs, or a chemical-induced experience, is a claim of feeling connected to something larger than themselves. From what I've read, it has pretty profound and positive results. Although the bias could be that people who don't have profound experiences, don't write about it. The good news is that someone doesn't have to come close to death or take drugs to live a happier life.
Knowing that the book isn't written for me, I reflected on the insights and enjoyed the autobiographical nature of the book. I did feel a bit of dread approaching chapter five. California, where I also live, is lax with "alternative medicine" quacks at the same time US health insurance is a mess. This leaves middle and low-income households with a struggle, or inability to get proper medical care, and at the mercy of charlatans. I was relieved to read, "[diseases] are not the result of bad karma nor... the result of our negative thoughts." Page 66. "What often is the enemy is the way we view illness." In other words, the psychology of how we approach illness needs an attitude adjustment. Overall, I think the chapter is written respectfully. People with medical illnesses are prone to worry and fear, it can be difficult to feel empowered in an uncomfortable bed, surrounded by strangers and an unfamiliar routine, not to mention the confusing amount of information about treatment. In a perfect scenario, the evidence-based medicine would be the trusted course of action. But what if it isn't, what if a patient refuses treatment and instead drinks hot vinegar five times a day? Honestly, it does no good to bully the patient away from their vinegar. Ms. Moorjani doesn't try to give medical advice or guidance; she knows that putting someone in a state of confusion or fear isn't going to have good results. Is she correct that a person should follow what they feel? I'm not entirely convinced, but I agree that healing is about empowerment.
I skimmed chapters six through nine, and much of the rest. I'll let someone else tackle those parts, my doing so would not add to my happiness, and not likely to anyone else's either. I do appreciate that Anita's view takes away the idea of Hell and post-life judgment, something I believe was invented purely to drive people into fear and away from reason.
All in all, if this helps someone connect with themselves better and start living a happier life, then I'm all for it. Those wanting more meat or who tend toward skepticism, I would recommend finding sources on emotional maturity, attachments styles, and mindfulness.

في هذا الكتاب تخبرنا أنيتا كيف أثر عليها مرضها بالسرطان ليغير من نظرتها ومعتقداتها المعيقة للحياة. وهو تابع لكتابها الأول " أموت كي أكون أنا"، والذي تحكي فيه تجربتها في الاقتراب من الموت.
بعد أن تشافت قررت أن تؤلفه لتنقل ما تعلمته من تجربتها المريرة وتجعله وسيلة لمساعدة الناس وإعطاءهم الأمل والإيمان بذواتهم.
وتذكر فيه أيضًا عدة مواقف ومحادثات عميقة دارت بينها وبين المتابعين لها والقارئين لكتابها الأول.
أرى أنه كتاب لطيف يحتوي على أفكار جديدة ونظرة من زاوية مختلفة للحياة، وليس كغيره من كتب التنمية البشرية والإيجابية الزائفة (:
( أنا بدأت بهذا فيفضل قراءتهم بالترتيب)

هذا الكتاب الثاني الذي قررت قرائته لأنيتا بعد كتابها الاول اموت كي أكون انا والسبب في ذلك كون الرؤيه للحياه بعد الاقتراب للموت عندها لم تتضح معالمها معي في الكتاب الاول
هنا ....ظهرت افكارها بشكل متبلور وواضح اكثر
بعض هذه الأفكار. عن نفسي لا اقبلها ابدا منها

١-نولد ونحن نعرف ما هي حقيقتنا بما في ذلك جنسنا وميولنا الجنسيه (ذكر ام انثى ام متحول جنسياً) .......طيعا هي قالت ذلك لانها ألغت المصدر الالهي أي كان واعتبرت نفسها المصدر
٢-لماذا لم يعلمنا احد عن عدم وجود حساب او ان اهم شي نركز عليه هو الحب وليس الخوف من العقاب ولكن من كان ليقول لنا هذا معظمنا وحتى هؤلاء الذين يعلمون الاخرين ما ذَا يحصل بعد الموت يجهلون هذه المعلومات فكل ما تعلمناه هو ما تعلمنا إياه ثقافتنا او تعاليمنا الدينيه المكتوبة. منذ آلاف السنين من قبل أشخاص من حضاره وحقبه مختلفه.وبالتالي من وجهة نظرها لا يوجد حساب

..........طبعاً طالما اخرجت الدين من دائرتها فلن تشعر ما قدمه الدين لذلك الشخص للبقاء قوياً عند موت احد قريب منه
٤-غالباً ما اتعرض للهجوم عبر وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي للتعبير ان لا وجود للحساب في البعد الاخر ان وجهة النظر هذه ليست شائعة وتتعارض مع الأديان التقليدية (تقليديه!!!!!! وهل علينا اختراع اديان تحمل طابع النيو فاشن مثلاً ) ولأننا نحن ان نستخدم مصطلح هم ونحن خصوصا مع السجناء والقتلة والمجرمين وان نصدق ان هؤلاء أولئك الذين أخطاؤوا في حقنا سيواجهون حسابهم في الحياه الاخرى ...أجد صعوبه في جعل غيري يفهمني ومشاركة حقيقه ما اختبرته في الحياه الاخرى وهو ان اَي شخص كان مجرماً او حتى معتدياً على الأطفال شخص كنت امقته وازدريه علانية في الحياه العامة ما كنت لأشعر الا بالتفهم الكامل والتعاطف وكنت اشعر بالشفقه والحب الغير مشروط تجاه المعتدي وضحيته وهؤلاء يلحقون الضرر ببعضهم بسبب الجهل او منفصلون عن جوهرهم الأصلي
وهل تمشي الحياة بمجرد تعاطف او شفقه هل الشفقه التي تحس بها أنيتا. او تريدنا نشعر بها تجاهم كفيله بحل مشكلاتهم هل شعورنا بوضعهم يكفل عودتهم لجوهرهم !!!!!هل المريض النفسي مثلاً يشفى فقط من تعاطفي معه فقط ...أين الجانب الفيزيائي أين الجانب الطبي ؟؟؟؟
القاتل هل أستطيع. الوقوف. بجانبه واربت على كتفه وأقول له نعم انا

قد يكون كلامها صحيحا عملا بالمثل القائل (ياما في السجن مظاليم) لكن هذا الكلام مثالي ومن غير الممكن تطبيقه في الحياه الماديه
٥-تلينا الاهتمام بالأنا وعدم سحقها لان ذلك يجعلنا بعيدين عن ذواتنا وأنفسنا
أنيتا ترى ان البعد المادي هنا يمشي على ثنائيه الوعي (الإدراك) والانا وكلاهما مكملاً للآخر ولا يجوز العمل على واحدة دون الاخرى عندما ندرك ونعي ذاتنا ونحبها ونحترمها فان الأنا سترتفع وتبقى بأعلى مستوياتها طبعا من وجهة نظر أنيتا. تصبح الأنا ذات الكبرياء و على الجميع احترامها وليست أنا الغرور والتكبر (هذه الوحيدة التي اتفقت معها ووجدتها جديرة بالتفكير )
أخيراً لو قُدر لأنيتا أن تعيد صياغه الكتاب. وتسميه
ماذا لو كانت هناك الجنة؟
هل ستتغير نظرتها ورؤيتها للبعد المادي هنا
هل تستطيع تقديم خبراتها ومساعدتها للناس هنا للحصول على هناك؟
هنا ....ظهرت افكارها بشكل متبلور وواضح اكثر
بعض هذه الأفكار. عن نفسي لا اقبلها ابدا منها

شكرا أنيتا مورجاني

كيف تفسر أنيتا "الجنة"؟
امرأة شابة لها سيرة متفردة في محاربة السرطان، ذكرتها في كتابها الأول "أموت كي أكون أنا" -الذي لم أقرأه لأعلم القصة كاملة- وأذاعتها في كثير من المناسبات والمحاضرات. لكنها كتبت هنا بالمختصر أنها في حالة مرضها المتقدمة اقتربت من الموت، وهناك كان كل شيء صافٍ غير مقيد، وجو يعمره الحب غ��ر المشروط، ونفوس تقترب من بعضها بالأرواح وليس بالأجساد. عادت أنيتا إلى حياتها الواقعية بكامل عافيتها، وقد شفيت من السرطان بفعل تحررها من قيود وقناعات كانت سببا في إصابتها به. وذكرتها هنا في ١٠ فصول.
أنيتا لها أسلوب لطيف وواثق في تقديم تجربتها، وتسعى بكل حب في تقديم أقصى ما تعرف لتساعد غيرها.
شدني أنها تركز دائما على مبدأ الحب في التعامل مع الآخرين، وفي اتخاذ القرارات وفي مصدر المتعة واتباع الشغف. الذي يناقض تماما الخوف.
بعض ما ذكرته ليس بالغريب علي، والبعض لم أفهمه وأختلف معها في نقاط أخرى.

Honestly, how many books with the same information can humans spit out?
April 16, 2018
مرت الكاتبة بتجربة تسميها 'الاقتراب من الموت' بعد اصابتها بالسرطان، عادت بعدها للحياة وقد تغيرت داخليا، تشارك العالم اليوم هذا التغير بكتبها وفي مقابلات أو محاضرات تلقيها، ويرى فيها كثيرون ملجأ لأوجاعهم، وكأنما هي ذلك الشخص الذي زار العالم الآخر وعاد ليطمئن جموع الأحياء عما يحدث هناك. تحدث عن تفاصيل قصتها مع السرطان في كتابها الأول: أموت كي أكون أنا
أما في هذا الكتاب تتحدث عن الأفكار والعادات التي تسيطر على حياتنا ونتقبلها من باب: هذه ليست الجنة!
فكرة الكتاب: غير من أفكارك الآن، غير حياتك، لماذا التأخير؟ فماذا لو كانت هذه هي الجنة؟!
حمل الكتاب أفكار جميلة وأخرى قد توصف بالساذجة لكن آخرين يجدون فيها منجاة من آلامهم.
هذه بعض الأفكار الواردة في الكتاب:
*أعتقد أننا عندما نحتاج الدعم، علينا أن نسعى إلى الحصول عليه، ولكن أعتقد أن هذه المشورة يجب أن تزيدنا قوة، لا أن تجردنا منها. هذا هو الفارق، والسبيل لمعرفة هذا هو أن تتفقدي ذلك في نفسك*
تقول الكاتبة بأن علينا التوقف أحيانا عن البحث عن مساعدة خارجية ولنستمع لمرشدنا الداخلي: أعلم أن هناك نظام إرشاد داخلي من نوع ما يقودني طوال الوقت، شيء أظن أننا جميعا نتمتع به وأنه دائما يحاول التواصل معنا، ولكن حين يتم تحميلنا بالمعلومات المتناقضة على نحو مفرط، تصاب أذهاننا بالإنهاك حين يجد نظام الإرشاد الداخلي خاصتنا صعوبة في التواصل معنا. مع سرعة حصولنا على المعلومات في هذه الأيام، فإن هذه الحمولة الزائدة تقع على نحو متكرر. *حين أواجه هذا الأمر؛ أتبع صياما عن المعلومات*
*نشعر بالألم لأننا نعرف معنا ألا نشعر به*
ومن الأفكار تأملتها كثيرا في الكتاب كانت عن انتماءاتنا العرقية والثقافية؛ هل هي قيد أم تميز ندعيه؟! تقول الكاتبة: *حين خضعت لتجربة الاقتراب من الموت، لم أكن مجردة من جسدي الفيزيائي فحسب، بل من جنسي وعرقي وثقافتي وديني ومبادئي ومن كبريائي. مع فقداني لكل هذه العناصر الأرضية؛ لم أكن شخصا أقل مما كنت عليه، بل كنت في الواقع شيئا أكثر عظمة بكثير! كنت واسعة، أكثر قوة، وأكثر روعة. في الواقع أدركتأن تلك العناصر الأرضية التي كنت أظنها تمثلني كانت تقلص من حجمي وتقيدني وجعلتني أقل مما كنت عليه حقا. كنت جزءا من كل شيء وواحدا معه.*

While this book is not as good as Dying to be Me, Anita's loving energy doesn't stop oozing out. It's not easy for me to summarize the book so I think I'll write about some of her ideas that appealed to me.
The first is an information fast--something that clears your mind of clutter and allows your internal guidance system to start to communicate with you. When you feel confused and overwhelmed with information, let the information you already have settle without specifically focusing on any of it.
Fear does tremendous damage to our immune system, leaving us vulnerable to disease. When fears arise, do not judge them--let them be, while at the same time reclaim your happiness by loving yourself, being gentle and kind to yourself and doing something fun.
The intricate workings of the universe always delight and uplift us, showing us the way wherever we go.
When we're on the other side, we feel only total understanding, complete acceptance, unconditional love and the joyous ecstasy of union with the divine nature of all that is.
When I judge myself as lacking in some way, I am actually doubting the perfection of the universe.

I like that Anita breaks down to smaller topics. Easy to follow.
One unique thing I find useful is in the end of every chapter, she invites us to ponder on questions. In addition, she lists out tips and exercises which are very useful for every day living.
There are many important messages I learned from her wisdom. I'm very grateful about that.
All in all, this is an easy to read book about what Anita learns from her near death experience... Her struggles to come back and live in this world of duality despite what she had learned. Very interesting.
You don't have to believe in life after death to enjoy reading and getting some useful insights. This book is good to know for everyone.

I read her first book when it came out and loved it. I love NDE stories and hers is pretty awesome.
The title of this book was intriguing, and I guess I was hoping for her to be revealing more insights from her time on the other side. But to me it kind of fell short. There were a few passages that spoke to my life right now, but overall, I just didn’t find it to be going much deeper than her previous book.
I love her overall message though; just be yourself.

As I read, this book didn't stand out from similar titles. But it slowly went from a four-star to a five-star as I kept reading.
I've always had an easier time listening to people who don't come off as gurus, so I dig how down-to-earth Moorjani is.
If people don't come across her messages of love and empowerment in this book, I hope they find it in other ways. We could all use a good reminder on how special we are. I'm feeling so lucky I read this and her debut book.

This wasn’t what I thought it would be. Was written like a self-help book. The best part of the book for me was the Afterword. I wish the whole book I’d been written along the same lines as those 3 pages. 😟

كتاب رائع

This can get very woo-woo and it’s hard to take it seriously or want to continue reading through these moments (which are sometimes transcribed conversations between speaker and listener where the “lesson” is repeated, verbatim, by the listener). But when you think the book will fail you or get simple, Anita complicates the narrative and encourages you to think bigger.
I loved how every chapter ended with an activity or something to think about or consider. “If this is true, then what else could be true?”
Recommended reading for: those grieving, those going through “difficult moments,” and those looking to clue back into their true selves or to find it.
Not for everyone (and what is?) but if you’re curious, read along and just keep reading. It might surprise you. I’m grateful for it and I hope to keep checking back into it and the lessons learned.
