    • We Are Light

      Posted at 2:17 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on October 26, 2022

      We still have much to learn about the origin of life, but one short video I watched this week certainly confirmed what

      so many of us already understand about energy and what/who we are.

      The video was narrated by a fertility specialist who shared it on a social media platform. It was of an embryo’s cells dividing and showed a flash of light when it happened. A flash of light. This happens constantly in the body, cells are dividing all the time.

      We are luminous beings. We Are Light.

    • My Rebirthday

      Posted at 3:18 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on July 17, 2022

      My daughter was born at 9:27 am EST on July 17, 2000.

      I died at 9:18 am EST on July 17, 2000.

      At 9:26 am EST on July 17, 2000, I was reborn.

      Today marks the 22nd anniversary of my death and rebirth, and my daughter’s 22nd birthday.

      If it were not for my daughter, I wouldn’t get to be her mother. If it were not for my daughter, I wouldn’t be who I am today.

      Having the gift of death and coming back to this life has been both the greatest blessing and the most challenging thing in the world. I have had to navigate a world that seemed foreign to me at first, I was so different than before but the world hadn’t changed. What I took for granted as “normal” no longer made sense and I longed for something new. I initially thought that by changing my outward life it would bring me closer to what I longed for in my heart. What I longed for was to live in a state of being where Love was the predominant energy. I wanted to be in that same state of being I was in during my NDE.

      The sticking point for many years was how to “get” there. How do I “be” that Love?

      I needed a road map, a blueprint for living and I finally realized I was the only one who could design it. No church, no “guru”, no thing outside of me could do it for me, could show me the way. So, I started meditating. It was the next right thing for me to do. From there, my answers as to the “how” began to arrive. The inspiration to write, to read, to slowly navigate a path back to myself became clearer and clearer.

      Writing I Died And Learned How To Live was so cathartic for me. It gave me me back. It gave me a way to break through the barrier of fear I’d inadvertently built up around me to protect me from the judgement and criticism of others. It helped me strengthen in more Love and diminish the influence Ego had over me.

      My days are not always carefree, but when I do struggle I have a way to bring myself back to what I know from experience to be the most healing, nurturing, peaceful state of being, which is Love. I return there over and over again.

      Happy Rebirthday to me!

      Love to you all!

    • How Death Is So Much Like Life

      Posted at 7:05 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on August 29, 2019

      Our lives are not completely our own.  We cannot control everything that happens, but we can use our free will and intention to focus the energy that is there at our disposal to bring about what it is we desire, with one caveat:  If it is for the greater good for us and everyone involved and, in the ultimate sense, it always is .

      We come here to remember who we are, which is pure love.  We come here to share  love in the world in our own unique way.  Everyone is here to do the same thing and there is no one who is more worthy than another.  There is no one who is better than another or whose desires and dreams are more important.  We are all on the same playing field all the time.

      Death is a continuation of life.  In what we call death our consciousness continues to have the same power to manifest what it is we desire, only we are more acutely aware of our connection to the divine loving source that supports us at all times.  We return to this source and are once again reminded of the intensely loving beings we are.

      Within that intensely loving power are all the possibilities of the universe completely at our disposal here.  We continue to use our intention and free will to create our experience in death as we do in life.  The difference is in our awareness of that power and, when we die, we’re reminded of it.  We re-experience it to its greatest degree.  We return to a realm where there literally is no resistance.  We are immersed and get to play in the miraculous cosmic soup of love energy that we get only a small taste of here in the body.

      We create our experience in the afterlife along with the co-creative power of the universe, that is love wholly and completely.  While we’re here, it is to our greatest benefit to re-dis-cover the loving beings we are and endeavor to fulfill our purpose.  By doing so, we are constantly bringing ourselves closer and closer to perfect alignment with the source of us all and have an opportunity to experience it here, in the body.

      To do so is a choice.  We always have free-will, here and in the afterlife.  We’re here.  We can choose our life.  

      My question for you is this:  Are you creating the life you desire?

      As always, I’d love to hear your stories!

      Much love to you along your beautiful, creative journey!

    • My Intent For People Care Today…

      Posted at 6:58 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on October 22, 2017

      Originally written several years ago….I wanted to share this post again in light of learning about an ER physician Dr. Anoop Kumar who published a book which highlights aspects of practicing medicine, of caring for others, we too often overlook and do not include in our daily care of patients..here’s his website…please check it out.  It’s “good medicine“.  Love to you all!

      http://www.anoopkumar.com

      In a busy ER it can be a challenge to slow down and really be present for people.  Let’s face it, being a patient in the ER it’s not really our best moment.  We’re vulnerable, often scared and unsure of what’s going to happen. There’s a lot of fear. In my life before, my tolerance level was low.  Now, I’m able to function from the point of view of the people I care for and I care for everyone very much.  For me, the people I take care of are people, not patients.  They are beings of love and light and I am connected to every one of them.  Compassion and love are my point of view. May you have a beautiful, healthy day! xox

    • Attachment vs. Detachment

      Posted at 7:53 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on June 11, 2015

      Being an Aquarius, I tend to go back and forth between being really attached and deeply affected by the pain others are going through, to the point where my mental space is constantly occupied by it.  I want to help fix it, to make it better so we all can feel better, but that’s not always the best thing.  So, I detach.  That way I’m less affected.  The polarity of the two can make it seem like I’m “hot” and “cold” when what I’m really trying to do is avoid emotional pain.  This is something I’m just now realizing about my self.

      What led me to realize it?  Emotional pain.  Not on an incredibly deep level, but all-encompassing, if that makes any sense.  My point of reference to my self and the world around me suddenly shifted when something was removed from my life, and I realized how very much attached I’d become to it.  Here’s my dilemma…

      I want to love deeply, to experience all of life and squeeze as much out of each experience as I can..to really feel it, yet I am afraid of being hurt so I hold back emotionally, appearing aloof and uncaring at times.  That’s not how I want to be.  So, how do I change it?

      Love, but don’t attach.  I love everyone.  i really do.  But, I don’t attach my self to them because I feel pain if something happens that my ego doesn’t want to happen.  That’s not really loving detachment then.  Loving and being in love, really being in it, free from fear, is my lesson now.  Ego has to take a back seat for this to happen.  It’s the way I need to live in this world to be happy, joyful and free 🙂  I bless my lessons that led me to this place.  I am grateful for the things that led me here.  I wasn’t able to say that yesterday.

      xoxo

    • Love=Energy

      Posted at 9:37 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on March 25, 2015

      Like all things in nature, we are energy.  Right now we’re in this form, this package of flesh and blood that when broken down into its smallest components is just vibration and we can alter our vibration through what we feel and think.

      Feeling is our main mode of communication and the energy of it emanates from our physical body and moves seamlessly with our Source energy through this time and space.

      When we feel something, like when we sense thirst, it’s then followed by the thought “I’m thirsty, I need something to drink.”  The thought is the second step in the summoning of the energetic resources of the Universe.  The next is the physical manifestation of thought energy.

      The organs in our physical body vibrate like everything else, and tell us when we’re in alignment with who we really are. When we think negatively we create “bad feelings” which do not resonate with who we are in our truest form, which is love.  As long as we’re spending our thought energy on negativity we transfer that out-of-alignment energy to our physical body which results in illness.  All illness is a state of misalignment, a sign we’re in need of healing and that we need to pay attention to our  well-being.  That attention can take the form of thinking healthy thoughts, eating healthy foods and getting enough rest, which are the physical acts we can take to correct the imbalance.  It can also take the form of “cognitive therapy” which is the ongoing process of monitoring our thoughts so as to bring forth and focus on only those thoughts that bring us into alignment with who we really are.

      Who we are is love and love holds perfect form.  It is the totality of all there is and is our true nature of being.  Our thought energy is an integral part of maintaining that love-state of being, but more so it is how we feel that creates or uncreates it.

      We can think “I am healthy.”  But the quest for good health doesn’t stop there.  It must be taken a step further with the thought energy integrated into the physical body through the feeling of “I am healthy”.  How does this happen?  By practicing self-care.  The act of lovingly preparing a nourishing meal or exercising with the intention of feeling good manifests in the body as loving, healing energy.  Our cells then use that energy to perform the functions it must in order to maintain our physical form.  The illusion is there is separation between all of these things, that they function independent of one another when in fact, they are seamlessly working together-the energy of feeling, thought, physical act, and physical manifestation in the body is a continuum with the loving energy of the universe and we have the free-will to use it in whichever way we desire.

      That energy is always loving, it is we who alter its form into what the ego wishes it to be based on whatever needs it has in the moment and there is nothing wrong with doing that because it provides contrast to our true nature, which allows for us to grow spiritually while here on this earth, in this form.

      When we let go of the physical and move into the realm of pure consciousness we have the choice of where to go and have the unending, loving support of the universe’s co-creative power, only in the realm of the afterlife, its power is much greater, but then, so is ours.

      Wishing you abundant health!

    • Retreating

      Posted at 9:36 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on March 1, 2015

      I recently went on a retreat that truly amazed me.

      Initially, I was reluctant to go…and wasn’t sure why.  I found this out after two days of prayer and singing…not well, but I sang.  I participated in the program they had created for all of us, letting go and allowing the beautiful, loving energy carry me wherever it wanted me to go.

      These were very loving, spiritual, religious women who were there to share their love and spirituality with others with the hope of facilitating healing for those who needed it.  They did an amazing job.

      I went at the urging of a friend who helped organize the retreat.  She knew of my NDE and felt my story could bring great healing to the other attendees.  That’s why I went, to be of service using the knowledge I’d gained in the afterlife and after death.  I did give generously, but received so much more.

      These women were powerful.  Just through their love and belief in the loving God of their faith they visibly helped dozens of women, including me.  I experienced literal miracles that weekend, and couldn’t have been more grateful for having the opportunity to take part in it.  I wanted to retreat, and boy did I!

    • 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.

      xoxo

    • The Power Of Intention

      Posted at 7:15 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on February 20, 2015

      I’ve been focusing my thoughts around this topic a lot lately, but not really intentionally lol.  It’s just sort of there and I’m paying attention to it.  I suppose it’s partly because of my desire to move forward in my life and the fact that I feel like the  things I want are taking too long to manifest….Patience….

      The overarching reason for my being is to be of service to myself and others.  Within that are little desires, like loving and healthy relationships, good health, financial security, being surrounded by the beauty of nature, etc.  All of these, I believe, will help bring a greater richness to life on top of what I will receive through the work I do directly with people.  The energetic exchange between us can be so moving and so fulfilling and so very life-vivifying.  I’d like to have as many of those exchanges as possible while helping to relieve suffering through sharing my story and what I’ve learned.

      Today, I intend to focus my energy on love, healing and joy and have faith all that I desire is manifesting as I’m doing it.

      The Twelve Principles in practice….they are what I’m using through Intention to create my life today.

      Much Love xox
