• 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.

• 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.

• Joy vs. Suffering

  Posted at 9:55 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on September 5, 2014

  Life is unpredictable.

  I used to be so uncomfortable with that saying.  I needed a schedule that didn’t change.  I had to function within certain parameters where, if they were breached with an unexpected “whatever”, I would be sent spinning.

  What I never realized was how afraid I was.  I carried a fear of living around with me all the time, yet was completely unaware of the extent to which it affected my life.  I figured it was something that was a part of life.  Most of us are afraid.  That’s just how it is.  That’s why we get life insurance.  That’s why we save for retirement.  That’s why we go to the doctor and take the pills we take.

  We’re afraid of living. We’re afraid of dying.

  But, why?  Why do we see this life as something to be feared? Why do we see death as something to be feared?

  Why do we approach life, the most natural thing in the world, as if it is something to be endured, suffered through and ultimately end through this horrible thing called death?

  I didn’t get it.

  Then, I died.  

  Then, I got it.

  We come here with the experience of who we are in our most fundamental state of being, which is pure, conscious love, and with that, all the joy that comes with it.

  When we come into the body, we have the experience of the suffering that occurs when we are separated from the source of who we really are. We’re in the body so we may once again endeavor to experience the joy of who we are. When we do so, we are able to understand the difference between suffering and joy, and when we live to experience only joy, we cease to suffer. We’ve returned.

  Love to you 🙂

• I Died…And Learned How To Live

  Posted at 8:19 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on August 12, 2014

  I Died…And Learned How To Live is an introduction to my story of death, return, and profound healing that took place in my life afterward.

  There were no words in our human language that could adequately describe my experience of death, and I spent years trying to reintegrate myself back into my preexisting life while not having a means of expressing what I’d gone through. The feeling I had of unbounded love not only for me, but for all there is, couldn’t be translated in any way I knew, so out of frustration, I chose to keep it to myself for many years.

  After experiencing challenges in life that led me back to my experience, I was able to describe it in what I call the Twelve Principles For Daily Living. When I lived those principles, my life and the lives of my family transformed. When practiced freely, without reservation, they have the potential for the creation of a life that is the closest I’ve come to recreating my death experience here, on earth. They are what I used to heal my life, and the lives of my family.
  Get it exclusively on Amazon and, if you’d like, leave feedback either there or here. I’d love to know your thoughts 🙂

• French Toast

  Posted at 8:12 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on July 1, 2014

  There are days where I feel all up in the air and discombobulated to the point of complete annoyance.  I can meditate, remind, and reawaken myself to all the things I could do to create a stronger sense of peace and contentment with my “now”.

  Today, I made french toast.  

  It was delicious.

• 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.
