213. Breaking the Silence on End-of-Life: Connecting Birth, Life, and Death with Curiosity with Gabi Dias

In this episode, we emphasize the significance of being mindful about the conversations we have, the friendships we cultivate, and the music we listen to, as they can either nourish or deplete us.  Just as the food we consume can impact our physical well-being, the conversations we engage in can have a similar effect on our overall health.

Investing time in nourishing conversations can be life-giving rather than promoting negativity. By dissolving fear and choosing where to focus our attention, we can engage in conversations that bring vitality and contribute to our overall well-being. 

Be mindful of our environment and relationships, as they can either invigorate us or drain our vital energy.  Let's not waste mental energy on things that do not nourish us. Our thoughts, feelings, and emotions have the power to shape our physical bodies and greatly influence our experiences.

Quotes:

"Once we live a conscious life, this moment of death can be enlightenment."

"Holding space,  is  witnessing someone and the light that comes out of them without trying to fix."

"Sometimes the opportunity to stop, pause, is the beginning of your healing."

Topics Covered In This Episode:

  • End-of-life issues.
  • Home funerals and green burials.
  • Embracing the fact that death is coming.
  • Where do we go when we dream?
  • Grief rituals and healing.
  • Different approaches to death.
  • The process of dying.
  • Advanced Directives and Resources.
  • Legacy planning and digital assets.
  • Living life before we're dead.
  • Declining health and caregiver transitions.
  • Subtle bodies and energy healing.
  • The gift of each moment.
