Well, it seems that Consciousness refuses to die even when we do! Consider this from Sputniknews.com:
A four-year medical study into near-death and out-of-body experiences conducted by scientists at the University of Southampton has found that some levels of awareness may continue in people after they are clinically dead. Continue reading article..

Overheard
Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside awakes.
Your response to Capt. Dan Willis’ interview on CHI FOR YOURSELF last week was great to see! Dan talked about the challenges that first responders face and how they can be helped to do their very important jobs. I thought it was great to hear that inner exploration is being used as a healing tool, and that Spirit is taking its place in the process.
Here are some of the talking points from the show:
just who are the First Responders?
suicide as a growing problem among police officers
how Dan got started helping other First Responders
Dan’s realization that he was in trouble
red flags that could indicate PTSD
the lack of this type of training for First Responders
a frightening story about a fellow officer
personalities that might be more susceptible to PTSD
how families can be of help

The Linda Carroll/CHI FOR YOURSELF interview was well-attended- thanks to all who were there. Our subject was love (and Linda’s book Love Cycles) Love is a topic (and definition!) that could be discussed for hours. This article from Conscious Life News asks the dual questions:
What Exactly is Love? And How Do We Learn to Love?
Much is written about love. Countless songs have love as the main theme and thousands of movies include love and romance as the underlying premise. Religions talk about love and kindness, battles have been fought over love and it seems almost everything we do, say and feel, has undertones of love intertwined throughout. When it comes to describing love it can be very difficult to articulate. Continue reading..
I hope you enjoyed last week’s CHI FOR YOURSELF interview with couples therapist Linda Carroll, author of Love Cycles: The Five Essential Stages of Lasting Love. Linda says that love’s more challenging stages are part of genuine intimacy, rather than signs of its demise. In fact, Carroll goes as far to say that courageously moving through what comes after the rapturous initial Merge stage is the only way we can get to an authentic intimate relationship. Here are some talking points from the show:
Can couples beat the odds and stay in the initial state of bliss?din
Is there a point where we know that the relationship just isn’t worth it anymore?
Red flags that pop up at the start of a relationship
The importance of sex in a relationship
How intimacy depends on the ability to be separate
Something for couples to remember at the beginning of their time together
