Summary
This episode of AWAKENING is an exploration of physical death, which we will all experience as humans at one point or another. What happens to the body when we die, and what happens to the Soul or consciousness? How can we understand this process of death from a spiritual perspective? We will also explore what it means when someone we love dies, and how we might cope with such an experience.
Throughout the episode, I mention this book: The Tibetan Book of the Dead for Beginners, published by Sounds True in June 2023 - https://www.soundstrue.com/products/the-tibetan-book-of-the-dead-for-beginners

| 1:03.1 | Today we're tackling a vast, profound, mysterious, often difficult topic that as humans we might sometimes tend to avoid or ignore, |
| 1:16.6 | of course, until it happens to us in some way. |
| 1:20.6 | This topic is death, physical death, so what happens to the physical body when it dies? What happens to the soul and to our |
| 1:30.0 | consciousness at that moment of physical death? And then afterwards, how do we cope if we are the ones |
| 1:38.0 | left behind still living in physical bodies when our loved ones cross back over to non-physical form. |

| 2:35.3 | I also read books on death and dying, the dying process, what's it like to be in hospice care, |
| 2:46.4 | what to expect people's near-death experiences, these kinds of things, to really have a fuller |
| 2:55.5 | understanding of this topic. I also had a personal individual session with a death dula |
| 3:04.3 | and talk to her about this topic, just to get someone else's perspective, |
| 3:10.7 | someone who deals with this pretty much every day. So now this year in 2023, I've also had |
