    • Picking Up The Pieces

      Posted at 9:11 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on June 9, 2015

      Whenever life shifts, when it changes and creates what may appear to be discord in our lives, feeling the discord then letting it go helps ease our suffering and allows the resistance to soften so we may continue on our path…when we can pick up the pieces of whatever’s broken we have an opportunity to create something more beautiful and life vivifying than what came before.

      Here’s to picking up the pieces and creating a work of art!

      xoxo love to you all 🙂

    • Living through Intention

      Posted at 9:31 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on February 6, 2015

      When the only thing I desire is to feel happy I know exactly what I need to do.

      Be…

      Grateful

      Peaceful

      Compassionate

      Loving

      Mindful

      Patient

      and then there is no room for fear or worry which are the two greatest things that keep me from experiencing happiness.

      Faith is the soul’s knowing that what hasn’t yet been experienced is a possibility.

    • Loving Ourselves

      Posted at 12:12 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on December 10, 2014

      I have some experience with the challenges around this topic.  My inclination had always been to put others’ needs first before mine, to minimize my needs so as to accommodate others.  While that is absolutely necessary in life, a balance needs to be created between dispensing our energy and energizing ourselves.

      We need to get in order to give.

      How do we replenish ourselves of the energy we give away?  Through loving ourselves.  That’s it.  The love we give away must be equal to the love we show ourselves.  Otherwise, we end up depleted and defeated.  The challenge here is that often we hold the belief we don’t deserve it.  For some reason, we don’t feel as worthy of receiving as those who receive.

      As we live our lives, we often lose touch with the loving, divine beings we are.  We are made up of pure love.  The energy that fuels us is love energy.  That love energy is what makes up the universe.  That universal energy is flowing through us and is everywhere, all the time. It’s an unbroken cycle.  If we lack the love for ourselves that we endeavor to give away, we disconnect from that universal love. We temporarily break and disconnect from our source.  Without source energy flowing through us, we deplete our own.  We cannot give what we don’t have.  So if we truly want to share with and serve others with our love, we must connect and replenish with the love of the universe.

      Make sense?  Let me know your thoughts!

      Love To You!!

    • Death and After Life

      Posted at 2:29 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on February 26, 2014

      These words confuse me a little.

      We call no longer living death.  We call death the after life.  But, what is death, really?

      In my experience, death is the transition from the physical form in this 3-D world to a less dense existence in the “spiritual” realm.  We are still “alive” though, just in a different space with a different awareness.

      It’s all about awareness.

      What I learned in my “afterlife” was we get to choose our awarenesses, everywhere, all the time. Whether in physical form or spiritual form, we choose.  Based on our choices, we create and co-create our experiences.

      Death is not the end, it is a transition.  It is a transition of consciousness from one awareness to another.  It’s a shift from here, to there.   A movement from life to life.

    • $$ Money $$

      Posted at 11:40 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on January 19, 2014

      This is a quote from Esther Hicks who channels “Abraham”.  She speaks mainly about the Law of Attraction, and has many helpful ways of expressing how we are the creators and co-creators of our lives.  This was my experience in the afterlife, as well.  I had free-will to choose my path.  We all do.  Money is an important piece of this, and allowing ourselves to align ourselves with the receiving of and giving of money is an important part of our spiritual evolution here.  We all deserve abundance.  There is enough money to go around.  To use money for the highest good, with love, along our path carries with it a high vibration, which puts ourselves in alignment with our creator.  We also have the choice to use or perceive money in ways that carry a lower vibration, thus lessening the potential for alignment with our source of life, and thus our receiving it.   Our life’s purpose is to reestablish the vibrational/energetic frequency of what we were born out of, which is unbounded divine love.  This unboundedness, this expansion,  is what our spirit wants to achieve in this life.  Money can aid in this process. 

           “You are right when you think, Money isn’t everything. You certainly do not need money to have joy in your experience. But in your society—where so much of what you live is tied to money in some way—most of you associate money with freedom. And since freedom is a basic tenet of your being, then coming into alignment with money will help you establish a balanced footing that will be of value to you in all other aspects of your experience.”

       —Abraham

    • Lesson One: Live In Awareness

      Posted at 12:37 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on January 17, 2014

      I have a sister blog called Lessons In Love:  Twelve Principles For Daily Living and wanted to share a bit here….please visit LIL to read more….xoxo

      What does it mean to be Aware

      It means to have the knowledge that you and everything contained in all there is are one.  There is no separation between you, me, nature, the stars, and so on.  All of it is the collective “We”.

      We are, I am, the Alpha and the Omega.

      With this awareness, there is no separation from anyone or anything.  When the “I” becomes “We”, our entire world takes on new meaning.  There is a shift in perception that re-creates the bond with the infinite divine that was fully present in our awareness before birth, and is challenged in the face of the duality of this world, only to be fully present once again through re-experiencing our true nature.  We may have this experience here, in our body, if we choose to.  In our physical and nonphysical form we have, and always have, free will.

      My experience in both near death and this life on earth is that we are seamless forms of consciousness, only here we are not always aware this is so.

      How do we cultivate awareness?  First, by acknowledging the possibility that what we see isn’t all there is.  What we experience in physical form is only one part of the story, and no matter which part we experience, it is just as important as another.  There are no exceptions, but, we always have free will to choose what kind of experience we have.  We have the ability to change our reality at any moment in time.

    • Reflections

      Posted at 2:16 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on December 31, 2013

      Being that it’s New Year’s Eve, I, like so many, find myself looking back at this time last year and being really amazed at the huge transformations that have happened not only in my life, but in the lives of my family.  

      For me, it’s been a journey of opening up and being vulnerable.  I am allowing myself to “become” and show others my authentic self.  My NDE reminded me of who that is, and of the spiritual commitment I made during my journey into the afterlife, which was to share the love I am with the world.  This happens in myriad ways, and at present my ADD mind is trying to organize my efforts in many  directions (M-A-N-Y). Lol.  

      What happens in the coming year depends on me.  I create my life from my intentions, and so far, they’ve always delivered.  Maybe not in the exact way I wanted them to, but always for the higher good of everyone involved.  When something doesn’t “go my way” it’s for a pretty darn good reason, and just means there is something better coming down the pike than I could have imagined .  When these good things happen, it’s not just me that benefits, and that’s what life is all about.  

      Happy New Year!

      Love to you all :]

    • Fear Not

      Posted at 8:24 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on December 4, 2013

      Death is not the end, but rather a natural continuum of life.  Life eases into death, where we undergo the necessary preparations to ease back into life again.  This completes the circle, one that is only to be repeated when we are ready to do so.  Our existence is defined by these cycles of life and death, and each one has the potential to further us along on our evolutionary spiritual journey, one that ultimately leads to the Great Unknown.
