Gateways to Awakening is a gateway for your own spiritual journey.
Today, people are suffering from stress and anxiety like no other time in history. Mental illness is on the rise, and people are either self-medicating or numbing out with a variety of distractions. In one on one conversations with leading experts in wellness and spirituality, Gateways to Awakening will share best practices and offer a gateway to help those who are interested to expand their awareness and consciousness.
We’ll be asking these questions and more:
How can we become more connected to ourselves and bring greater awareness to our lives?
How can we connect with our own voice and intuition and be on the highest life path possible?
Is there a greater intelligence, a primordial, intuitive intelligence, beyond just what we can access through our five senses today?
For the modern-day seekers, Gateways to Awakening asks these questions and explores conversations with experts in their fields. I’ll be talking to a variety of guests from Ph.D. academics in Reiki, Shiatsu, binaural beats, Chinese medicine practitioners, mystics, and even one of the leading experts on The Secret. I ask that you stay curious with me, as we navigate these questions and more with our guests. This is your journey, so pay attention to what makes you feel expansive and lighter.

Dying to be Me and near-death experiences with Anita Moorjani
Today’s episode is with Anita Moorjani. After a 4-year battle with cancer, Anita fell into a coma and was given days to live. As her doctors gathered to revive her, she journeyed into a near-death experience (NDE) where she was given the choice to return to her physical form or to continue into this new realm.
She chose the former, and when she regained consciousness, her cancer began to heal. To the amazement of her doctors, she was free of countless tumors and cancer indicators within weeks.
Her book Dying To Be Me has sold over a million copies worldwide, in over 45 languages. It has been named a Contemporary Classic and a Foreign Language Phenomena by her publishers. Anita was a protégé of the late, great Dr. Wayne Dyer, who brought her onto the world’s stage in 2011.

She is also the author of “What if this is heaven”, and “Love: A Story about who you really are”.
I had the pleasure of hearing her inspiring talk at a conference last fall, and I am delighted to welcome her to the show to talk about a highly requested topic, near-death experiences. I also read her book Dying To Be Me years ago and was so moved by it.
We talk about the following and so much more:
