It's difficult to find words that adequately describe the experience of being at The Afterlife Conference. This year's conference, like all the others, was beyond words. Our staff, our presenters and our attendees have a natural instinct for easily and instantly creating community, and a sense of belonging can be felt
everywhere. I am so blessed for having been given the privilege of stewardship for this remarkable gathering year after year.
I bow down in gratitude to all who were present at this year's conference, and also to those who wanted to be there but could not. I am deeply touched by your enthusiasm and support, which includes your continued interest in this newsletter, in our Facebook group and in our various events and workshops.
To express our thanks, we are offering a
free 24-hour pass to watch the 2018 conference livestream recording on Thanksgiving day.
See below for details...
Love and blessings to you and yours,
Founder, The Original Afterlife Conference
End-of-Life Advisor, Interfaith Chaplaincy

The Gratitude Channel
by Terri Daniel
As Thanksgiving approaches and America's thoughts (hopefully) turn to gratitude, I feel compelled to share an excerpt from my 2007 book,
A Swan in Heaven about a beautiful little concept called "The Gratitude Channel." It is especially relevant today, as we grieve in response to mass shootings, wildfires and other national tragedies. In fact, the reason I'm sending the newsletter early this month is because I am traveling to Thousand Oaks, California next week to organize a Community Grief Ceremony for Sunday November 25.
The Gratitude Channel
(a channeled message)
Interaction with divine energy happens on many different
frequencies, on different channels, like tuning in to different radio
stations. There are thousands of these channels located at different levels
of consciousness, and each channel has a specific purpose and
characteristic.
Extreme emotional pain is one of these channels because it opens your
heart, and in this open state you can surrender completely to the divine if you
choose to. Grief does the same thing, and on this channel there's a lot of
work to do that has the potential for tremendous growth and healing.
Breathing is a channel, as are levels of deep meditation, prayer and
chanting. Each chakra is a separate channel, and forgiveness is
most certainly a channel. Dreams are extremely clear channels. Other
channels are art, music, dancing, crying, playing, sexual love,
brotherly love, spiritual love... the list is limitless, and everything that
comes to us via these channels takes form in our physical
lives. READ MORE...

My First Deaths
by Larry Patten
Some are relieved when a loved one (or a not-so-loved-one) dies... but they never expected to feel that relief so strongly. Other responses include disbelief, anger or numbness. The immediate (or delayed) feelings are an emotional tsunami, not there and then completely there
, forcing us to our knees or causing us cry out as if struck by a
fist.
