In the
Celtic tradition dying is considered an act of birthing, of our
consciousness passing from this life to the next. Informed by an early
near-death experience, spiritual midwife and former nun Phyllida
Anam-Áire offers an intimate overview of the sacred stages of the dying
process seen through the lens of her Celtic heritage. Compassionately
describing the final dissolution of the elements, she emphasizes how
important it is to resolve and integrate our psycho-spiritual shadows
and wounds in this lifetime. What truly heals is our capacity for
authentic compassionate love--in life, in death, and after. Healing our
ancestry before leaving the body eases not only our transition but sets
future generations free from old stories held in our family systems.
Sharing
her insights into God consciousness, our earth/ego mind, and the soul’s
journey through the Aíte or bardos, Phyllida’s poetic words guide us
toward the final ecstasy as the soul leaves its material form and enters
the vast Universal Heart of cosmic energy. Providing a deep spiritual
understanding of the mysteries of death and the afterlife, this
courageous book combines Celtic and Christian wisdom to dispel the fear
of dying and invites us to live consciously and with love to our very
last breath.
