I started crying. I'll never forget it and I said I don't want to die alone. Please don't leave me. I want to die with someone by my side. I don't want to be alone when I die. So all of my

organs were shutting down because my kidney stopped working and my potassium

levels were shooting way up high and it was the most excruciating pain and then when

that happened I lost my breathing so I couldn't breathe I was pounding my throat and they had to put a hole in my neck to get the air out and I still

wasn't getting the air out that strong. Then my lungs collapsed, then my heart stopped and that's

when I finally died and it was such an experience because while you're dying you see everything it's not like you're blacked out and it just happens and now you're on the other side. You see yourself dying, but you can't do anything about it.

Hey friend, welcome back to the Light Watkins show I'm Light Watkins and I have

conversation with a dear friend shaman duric we've been friends for a couple of

decades now shaman durek is a sixth generation shaman. He's the author of the bestseller Spirit

hacking shamanic keys to reclaim your personal power, transform yourself, and light up the world. He studied extensively around the world,

extracting the best from all of the world's philosophies, religion, spiritual teachings,

and theories. And as you'll hear in the interview,

Shaman Durek has his own perspective on life and on spirituality.

He is as controversial as he is playful, he's colorful, but most of all he exudes love and kindness. His path has not been an easy

one by any stretch and he'll take us through his many ups and downs as he was growing up in a family
