• Turn Fear Inside-Out

  Posted at 10:20 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on February 25, 2015

  Fear can be really motivating and really stagnating.

  Why?

  Why does it have to exist at all?  Sure, there’s the life-perserving type of fight-or-flight kind of fear that ensures the propagation of the species and once we experience it we run like hell, but why does it exist beyond that stage?

  Think about what you’ve experienced in the past where fear motivated you to run…what purpose did it serve?  Self-preservation.  To preserve the “Self”.  But, what is the self?  Ego.  Let me explain…

  When we’re faced with a situation that challenges our present mind-set or belief system, a common thing to do is react to it by becoming defensive.  We want to defend our mind-set or beliefs because the Ego is all about standing its ground and maintaining its position.  What underlies the Ego?  What supports it?  Fear.

  The question we must all ask if we’re to grow into the loving beings we came here to be is this:  What am I afraid of?  Open it up and dissect it, remove all the parts and lay it all out on the table.   Turn it inside-out.

• Being Who We Are

  Posted at 3:00 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on January 30, 2015

  Authenticity.

  It’s something we have, but don’t always show it.  We are authentically ourselves, yet hide that person out of fear.  What is it we fear?  Judgement, ridicule, etc.  Why?  Because we have either been the target of it or have done it ourselves.

  What if we didn’t hide?  What if the very thing we feared was our ticket to happiness?

  We came into this world, this particular incarnation, to live from our authenticity and create the life we desire.  It is a life that no one else can create and its necessity cannot be measured.

  We owe it to ourselves and to others/the world to be that person.  Be happy.  Be yourself.  xoxox

• Flippin’ Fear

  When we take what it is we fear, flip it around and look at it in a beneficial way, we create a whole new life for ourselves.

  Happy New Year!  Happy Old Fear!!

• The Power Of Yes

  Posted at 8:36 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on December 3, 2014

  Growing up I heard “No” so many times I thought that was the usual way to respond to things.  Negativity in my family was not intentional, simply perpetual.  My parents had simply carried over their own childhood beliefs and ways of viewing the world without scrutiny and without awareness.

  As I grew into adulthood and began to notice the difference between my usual fall-back response and that of others, as I became more aware it wasn’t exactly the norm, I also became (here it is…) aware I had a choice.  I could either say “No” to life or “Yes” to life.

  I started with myself.  I’d always been someone who enjoyed helping others, often sacrificing my own needs in the process.  When I started putting my needs first with the intention of also serving others, things began to flow easier.  I began to say “Yes” more frequently to myself and big changes came with that.

  I graduated college after much initial struggle.  I moved across the country to experience life in a different way.  I decided to go into medicine, and have been practicing it for the last 14 years.  All because I said “Yes” to myself and to life.

  Now, I am saying “Yes” to you.  I returned after a near death experience to kick my service to others up a notch.  I came back to be an inspiration and support for those who struggle in life.  I am a student and a teacher, as we all are.  The only difference between any two people are levels of awareness and experience.  We can help elevate one another, all we need to do is say “YES!”

  Love to All!!

• Attitude of Gratitude

  Posted at 9:06 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on November 16, 2014

  Several years ago when my husband was very ill, I was in the midst of my own sort of illness.  It had started many years before after my near death experience I had during labor with my daughter.  I’d spent the years since then wrapped up in this internal struggle where I was afraid of being the love I learned I was in the afterlife, yet knew I had to be that person in order to live the Iife I came here to live.  I was miserable.

  For 8 months we didn’t know what was wrong with my husband, and I spent that time caring for him and our daughter while also working on my self.  I knew that I needed to figure out a way to be happy, to live in better alignment with who I was and therefore be able to be there more fully and completely for my family.

  During that process, that 8 months of uncertainty, I’d never felt more alive in my life.  The inner work I was doing helped me be present and fearless and accepting and confident in knowing that no matter what, everything was going to be just fine.  I was the rock my family stood upon when they had nothing to hold them up.  I created that rock, and I wasn’t alone in that creation.

  I took what I learned in the afterlife and applied it to my life here.  I began living my life differently, every moment of every day I focused on positive change and began to experience those changes not only within myself, but in my husband and daughter as well.

  The Twelve Principles For Daily Living were the things I practiced.  They were the conduits for healing in my life and the lives of my husband and daughter.  I present them in my book, I Died And Learned How To LIve, and am working on a book that is just about the Twelve Principles.

  There are no words that can adequately express the gratitude I have for the experience of going through 8 months of, what could have been, emotional torture.  I was given that opportunity so I could get real and get serious about figuring out how to live my life better, how to practice being the person I knew I was but didn’t know how to be.

  Today, I practice an attitude of gratitude.  There is so much to be grateful for.

• Just Be……Your Self!

  Posted at 11:43 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on September 29, 2014

  Easier said than done?

  It can be.  Unless we say “It’s easy!”

  Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.”

  Be your self (the space between the words was intentional).  Your self is all there is.

  Love to You!
