    • How To Live In This World…

      Posted at 7:01 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on November 28, 2016

      This is a topic that came up in conversation today around my NDE and coming back…how did I continue living in this 3D world knowing what I knew?

      It wasn’t easy.  I spent so much time going around and around in my head about what I knew happened and what my ego wanted to tell me didn’t.  The ego-aspect of myself was fearful of the fact that if I consciously acknowledged my experience in the afterlife, I’d have to change…drastically.  It wasn’t an option, it was a necessity.  My “old” life wasn’t what my higher self, my ego-less self, desired and required to exist in.  So imagine:  a newly graduated Physician Assistant, a brand new mother, a cardiac arrest patient trying to recover, and the wife of a touring musician completely changing their life because of a near death experience…

      It didn’t happen.  Not for a while, anyway.  So, I had to adapt and assimilate and figure out how to live in this world knowing what I knew.  I actually remember making the decision to forget about my NDE and focus myself on my life.  I had to live rather than simply exist  but my soul’s purpose was higher than just existing yet, I couldn’t reconcile the two no matter how hard I tried.  And boy, did I try.

      Many unhappy years later I found myself miserable and basically alone.  I had my beautiful daughter, whom I absolutely lived for.  I  wasn’t living for myself, or my husband.  My NDE was a constant through many ups and downs and changes in my life, always there, nagging at me to pay attention to it.  Finally, one day when I’d had enough, I decided to revisit it and wrote my experience down.  The whole thing, from start to finish and actually felt it through.  I found myself in tears wanting desperately to be able to carry the incredible infinite love of the universe with me, to feel it permeate every bit of my soul, to merge collectively with it once again.  I remember being angry at myself for digging it up again, feeling the frustration and pain of not knowing how to use it in my life  when something hit me.  I became acutely aware of what I needed to do.  It was very simple, the message of my NDE.  Love.  Love is all.  All is love.  I am love and loved beyond measure.

      Love was the answer and it was where my work began.  Learning how to live in this world as that love was one of the reasons I came back.  The other was to meet the person who would help me on my path back to myself.  Overarching it all was being a mother and guide to my daughter.  I’m doing all those things and will continue to do all these things until my last breath is taken once again.

      It’s truly a journey.

      Love to you on yours.  Lots and lots of it.  xox

    • Loving Ourselves

      Posted at 12:31 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on April 19, 2015

      Why is it that we struggle so much with loving ourselves?

      What is it that holds us back from fully embracing who we are and celebrating that person in our daily lives?

      For me, it was that I wasn’t aware of who I was in the first place!  I grew up without the guidance from my family that I needed to get in touch with myself.  It wasn’t their fault, they were unaware also.  It took the trials of life, a near death experience and the trials in my life that followed for me to become fully aware of who I am in this physical body.

      To say “We’re all connected” is somewhat abstract with lots of room for interpretation.  For me, it means we are literally connected via the energy we are made up of and all that exists outside of us and extending throughout the universe.  Energy is always in motion.  We are always in motion, ever evolving over time and space.

      To love ourselves is to love all there is.  When I struggle with loving and caring well for myself, I remind myself how I love and care for what’s outside of me and that I am an integral part of it.  It’s really a simple solution for a complex problem we all face.

      Love to You!!  xox

      Inner calmness allows for the bringing forth of such life-vivifying experiences!  When we are able to let go of the butterflies in our stomach, to soften the furrow in our brow and allow our breath flow in and out easily and effortlessly, a whole new world opens within that reflects without.

      Love to you  xox
