00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,800
Welcome to this bonus episode of Round Trip Death and part two of our interview with Felice DiMartino.

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,600
After we finish up talking with Felice, I hope you'll stick around because we're going to talk

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:18,000
a little bit about some ideas for the future of this show and I would love your input. So

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,600
please be sure to stick around for that and to email any input that you might have to

5
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:31,360
Eric at roundtripteath.com. Alright, let's finish off the interview. From the time that they

6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:38,240
pronounced me dead was a good 45 minutes. They cut my clothes and then they paddled my heart,

7
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:44,000
my heart had stopped and I could see people screaming and crying but I didn't realize that was

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,160
actually my physical body because I was somewhere else. The only thing that I could feel if you could

9
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:57,120
imagine absolute love and peace. There wasn't anything else to be felt. I was greeted by people

10
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,560
I'd known in the past. I'm back home again. Incredibly safe and felt at home.

11
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:12,320
Shifting gears in a major way here. Tell me about shared death experiences. I find these fascinating.

12
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,120
They're not talked about very much but I know that you've had some experience with it.

13
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:26,080
Would you mind telling us about those experiences? Sure. So in 2006 I was with my grandmother.

14
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:33,920
She had been in and out of hospice for like a few years basically. The night she passed I was there.

15
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:40,960
I was by her bed. The first thing that happened was there was an I was there the hospice nurse was

16
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:46,880
there and there was a knock at the door and there was something in me that knew that there's not

17
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,160
going to be anyone at the door. We're not expecting anyone. It was like late it was 10 30 11 o'clock

18
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,200
and it was late and sure enough we go to the door there's no one there. It's funny because it felt

19
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,800
like the hospice nurse at the time was a little spooked and I was just like oh this is so cool

20
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:10,240
right to experience this kind of stuff and I was open to this always. At some point we call my

21
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:16,080
aunt and uncle they come over because the hospice nurse was like you know have them come over it

22
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,480
could be any time that like tonight feels like it's going to be the night that she passes.

23
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:29,280
So my aunt and I are in the bedroom with her with my grandmother. She has a hospital bed. I'm sitting

24
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:36,880
by the bed I'm holding her hand. My aunt goes to lay in the it was a big king-size bed and I'm

25
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:43,120
holding her hand talking to her telepathically. My grandmother saying grandma it's okay you can go

26
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:49,040
where I'll find you're so loved like I'm talking telepathically again and that's another thing.

27
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,720
All of this and what happened in the near-death experience is telepathic. It's this telepathic

28
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,760
energy communication and I'm holding her hand. I know that when I let go of her hand that's going

29
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,720
to be it. So I'm saying you can go but meanwhile I'm holding her hand right. You're keeping her

30
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:12,080
hand. Right exactly so the hospice nurse finally says get into bed I'll let you know when we're

31
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:21,600
close when it's time. So again to bed I enter into a state that is not that that kind of

32
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:30,640
theta state in between wakefulness and sleep and I go on this journey of my grandfather came. I was

33
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:37,440
in this ballroom and I was looking down I was above I was looking down yet I was also a part of it

34
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,560
and the relatives knew there were relatives there were old friends there were ancestors yet they

35
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:49,200
were all in their youthful form they didn't look old and they knew that I was there and I was amongst

36
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:59,440
them as I was existing and they were all dressed in these ball gowns and the men were dressed and

37
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:06,160
no one had feet. I noticed that they were all hovering no one had any feet and at some point

38
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:14,160
the room parted and there was like an aisle was formed up the middle so they started to part an

39
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:21,520
aisle was formed up the middle and I could feel my grandfather and another presence going up and

40
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:27,440
there were two other presences with my grandfather and then as they walked or they sauntered or they

41
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:36,960
moved up it was like walking up this aisle up to a platform and as they got up one of these angels

42
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,560
I'm going to call this an angelic presence it was an imprint of there was an angelic presence there

43
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:49,760
with my grandfather and as this reaching down there was a sense of my grandfather was there

44
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:56,720
and there's this angelic presence right with him that reached down for my grandmother

45
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:05,040
and I heard the words get up now and as soon as I heard that I shot up in the bed I looked around

46
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,520
for half a second the hospice nurse had fallen asleep my aunt was laying in the bed next to me

47
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,720
she was asleep I looked at my grandmother her eyes were wide open and she was taking her last breath

48
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:23,760
okay so there was that that's part one yeah that's super interesting so so this this presence is

49
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:29,120
reaching down and my grandfather is right there this angelic presence reaches down my grandfather

50
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:37,680
right there when she crosses over I had my experience in 2015 in 2018 in March no that's not true

51
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:50,400
not 2018 a year and a half ago my dad passed on March 18 so 2022 2022 my dad he was at home and we

52
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,720
had hospice care at home there was a nurse at home and we and the family was there the day that he

53
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:04,720
passed we were in and out of the room and when he passed we all went in the room my mom's head was on

54
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:15,520
his chest he took his final breath and I could feel him above the room I could feel him and oh

55
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:22,960
in the morning of the day that he passed he was pointing up to the left at the corner and then as

56
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:30,800
the day went on shortly before he passed he started reaching not just pointing you know he was pointing

57
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,440
I would say daddy they're here to welcome you because he would point and then he would jolt back

58
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,880
in his body like he would go out and point and look at us and then he would come back to his body

59
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:49,200
so as the day went on and he started reaching towards the corner that's what happened there

60
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:57,680
and when he when he transitioned and when he passed and my mom's head was on his chest I felt

61
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:08,800
him above us and I knew from my own experience what that what that experience is to be out of the

62
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:15,600
body above the body to be able to hear everything that's going on so I entered into this space I

63
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:21,680
had us all hold hands we were all holding hands around his body and I could feel him with him

64
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:29,520
it was distinctly his essence his his imprint energetically looking down at us and I said daddy

65
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:35,440
we know that you can hear us you can see us we're all going to take care of each other you know and

66
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:42,400
really talking to him because they they can you can hear in that state and also the your soul's

67
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:48,960
going to go off to soul school do its thing and we'll be here if and when you want to come back

68
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:57,280
and communicate with us and for me what that that circle of love the reaching down for my grandmother

69
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:03,280
and then my dad reaching up it completed the circle to have the experience from the other side

70
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:09,920
reaching down waiting to welcome my grandmother and then on this side physically having my dad

71
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:16,880
reaching up it was like this completion of what occurs for us and what's what's possible when

72
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:22,000
we're with our loved ones to send them off because they're welcomed into love we're all welcomed back

73
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:29,120
into the state of love you know we're not taught what to do when somebody dies yeah yeah or how did

74
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:36,480
how to react how I think that was beautiful what you guys did thank you yeah I know there are people

75
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:42,480
out there with a title of a death doula I haven't had any of them on the show yet but maybe one of

76
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:48,400
these days a few months ago we did have a hospice nurse on nurse Hadley she was awesome you might

77
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:56,000
want to go back and listen to her and yeah some of the experiences sacred experiences I'll call

78
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:02,720
them when people are passing over to the other side yeah it's a portal it's this sacred I mean

79
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:10,320
it's this leaving your breathing form and existing they're still here with us you're just

80
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:19,600
existing in another realm right and I have done my level one death doula training and I've studied

81
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,200
I did some studying with William Peters who has something which you might want to look into the

82
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:31,360
shared crossing project I have I have seen it I haven't really studied it or talked to him yet

83
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,760
so you've had some of this training what are some of the things that you do as a death doula

84
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:42,720
be fully present with and holding a safe space for the family to grieve to sit with the loved ones

85
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:49,040
because a lot of times especially in our culture people don't want to talk about it the family

86
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,280
doesn't want to talk about it to the person who's passing the person who's passing knows what's going

87
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:59,440
on but it's like an unspoken kind of something that's hanging it's like the unspoken elephant in

88
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:06,080
the room right so to sit with a person before they pass like is there talking with them about

89
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:11,760
forgiveness or there is there anything that they want to share or if they're able to speak and share

90
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:18,240
right at that point is it do they feel they have any unfinished business how can you facilitate

91
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:26,160
conversations you develop trust with the family if the person is unresponsive sitting with them

92
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:33,120
holding hands hearing is the last sense to go so talking with that person because you know I know

93
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:40,000
in the case of my daddy at alzheimer's and dementia and the body is doing what it's doing

94
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:47,920
physiologically neurologically biologically the spirit the soul essence is pure and in an imperfection

95
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:58,960
so the soul is still experiencing the purity of does that make sense like the body might not be

96
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,320
like your loved one is still there the essence of who they truly are is still there and talking to the

97
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:11,440
person and it depends again on what state they're in so any advice for someone who may be going

98
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:17,680
through that soon with a loved one as far as the loved one who has a loved one who's going to pass

99
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:28,000
yeah I would say to be in the heart out of the mind into the heart there's an opportunity to

100
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:35,440
to kind of clear the air if you will so that soul can be freed and released without and the person

101
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:42,880
could let go without feeling worried or attached or or guilty or whatever may arise to talk with

102
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:48,560
the soul and to get really in touch with yourself you know it's okay we can grieve and be grateful

103
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:55,120
for someone's presence at the same time we can show forgiveness this is where forgiveness comes in

104
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:01,120
really connecting out of the mind into the heart returning to that love all right here's something

105
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:06,720
I asked nearly everybody near the end of an interview and that is what is your fear level of death

106
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:16,240
personally so I do not have a fear of death at all I trust that it will occur as it occurs and the

107
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:24,080
timing will be what it is and I trust in the divine timing of that and as a human there's a lot I

108
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,720
still want to experience like I don't want to have I'm not worried about it happening tomorrow yet

109
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:35,440
I want to be here for a while as you said to come full circle to be a grandma to my grandbaby's

110
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:42,960
are we gonna happen are your girls gonna listen to this if so I've got a message for them police

111
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:48,640

112
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:55,840
we have things to do and also service I want to remind people that service is the highest

113
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:05,040
expression of that love that you can be is service service service kindness service yeah absolutely

114
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:12,640
if you're ever having a really bad day go serve somebody else uh huh uh huh exactly hey any last

115
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:20,160
thing you want to share with our listeners what was shared with me before we came on is to listen

116
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:26,480
to your soul listen to the voice of the soul it knows the way and there's so many practices

117
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:35,440
now that offer ways of connecting with the wisdom of your soul like for some people it might be

118
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:41,680
what does that even mean right there's a lot of information now on the internet on podcasts

119
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:47,840
such as this on youtube channels there's so much information now about accessing the voice of the

120
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:54,080
soul yeah I think a lot of people are gonna hear that and say that sounds great I have no idea how

121
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:59,680
to do that yeah look it up google it or get in touch with me yeah get in touch with me by the way

122
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:08,240
police is at grounded illumination dot com yes did I get that right yes and there are easy practical

123
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:17,840
concrete tips and tools to hear the wisdom of your soul it's it's it can be made very digestible

124
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:26,160
and very pragmatic give me one then I'm gonna let you go okay so one way is is through the body

125
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:32,800
listening and noticing where in your body you feel a yes and where in your body you feel a

126
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:38,640
hell no and pay attention because your body is the vehicle through which the soul speaks to you

127
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:43,760
and that that ties into intuition but is that helpful listen listen to listen to when you feel

128
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:50,000
joyful and ease and excited where do you feel that in your body that's your yes and where you feel

129
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:58,000
like heavy thud dense that's your no right and the voice of your soul is always connected with love

130
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,640
and it's always connected with your internal yes perfect police thank you so much for being with us

131
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:12,880
today oh bye everyone thank you so much for tuning in and for accessing the remembering of our soul

132
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:18,400
and that there's nothing to fear in transitioning there really isn't we're welcomed into immense

133
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,920
immense love and there's no judgment there's no judgment coming towards you from the other side

134
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:32,000
thanks for sticking around on this podcast we've tried to be hyper-nitched into near-death

135
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:39,520
experiences but there are also a lot of related types of experiences that go along with them

136
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:45,360
so the question I'd like to pose for everybody today is I watch your thoughts on do we want to keep

137
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:51,360
the show just like it has been or do we want to expand a little bit into some other areas that may

138
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:58,000
be related just to give you some examples irons in their most recent newsletter mentioned that when

139
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:06,560
they incorporated the organization's main focus was near-death and similar experiences so the question

140
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:12,560
is what are some of these similar experiences now today we talked a little bit about shared death

141
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:18,560
experiences that's one let me read you a few of the others that irons has here ob e or out of body

142
