Dying To Be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing Paperback – 3 May 2012

I’ve just finished reading this fascinating book, all I can say it’s a page turner and I just couldn't put it down.Over the past 10 years, I’ve read 100s of near death experiences, however, this is one of the best I’ve come across. The strong urge of this subject has always interested me and even more now that my mum passed away two years ago.Anita takes you on a journey from her childhood experiences, how she met her husband, her father and best friend passing away and why she got cancer in the first place.Interestingly, during her coma, she went outside of her body and saw every detail, every medical procedure of what the Drs were doing and even the conversations the Drs had down the hall.Not only that, while she was in the other realm / reality, her Consciousness expanded into a state of no space, no time, no limitations, just pure awareness without the limitations of the body. While in that state she had the presence of her father (who died 10 years prior) and he said that it's not her time, that he's been watching over their family since he passed. While she was in that state, she knew if she decided to return back to her sick body that her body will heal from the cancer and guess what...3 days later she was fully healed!!! the Drs and all the medical staff were in a state of shock and said she should of been dead!!It’s essential to put down your beliefs, preconceptions and just read this book with an open mind without any judgement.I’ve always felt in my core being that we are much more than our physical bodies, that there is much more to our level of awareness or perception that we experience with our physical 5 senses. An inner knowing that we are ALL connected as One Infinite Consciousness having different experiences. After reading this book it just confirms to me this level of understanding. In fact, I’m even more convinced now that there is indeed an “after life.” In addition, “heaven” or “hell” is not a place, but a state of being without qualities and polarities. God is not a separate being…but a state of being too that transcends the ego.If you are suffering from a terminal illness or know anybody that is…I strongly recommend reading this book. It has given me a sense of healing and reassurance of just expressing my true Infinite Self fearlessly via unconditional Love.Peace & Infinite Love to ALL!

Interesting story, I've been through an NDE from illness too, though I had a different experience and didn't remember much of the actual NDE just the seriousness of the choice I had to make. The research website and support groups listed in this book that helped this nice lady, ignored me, I had no response and was ignored by groups I tried to join to talk. Which is a shame because I would have enjoyed talking to people who have been through similar stuff. I was lucky I had my nan though and she believed me so that meant something. I believe some similar stuff to the author of this book. I had a hard time with what I went through, and didn't have the I feel adored thing, I have in other experiences in life. My nan had a typical loving NDE of meeting family and angels and feeling loved NDEs. Mine was more a serious choice about coming back or starting over as a baby and I had the not being anywhere feeling too. I've found one other person online who went through similar NDE to me, I had to talk a lot to find anyone. I'm just writing this incase anyone else reads these stories because they feel totally on the outside to so many people and it's hard to find others when we don't fit what narrative certain organisations stick to. Like I said, I respect and enjoy different views and experiences and just wanted to add mine incase anyone needs to find it. It took me around twenty years to feel better with it and yeah I had guides and people show up and help me in my life. I don't feel totally unloved and I know I'm a good enough person. I just feel confused by it all, and on the outside a lot. It's not something I enjoy talking about or bring up much irl. I have moments I'm happy and moments I feel like why did I choose this. Random fantasy TV shows and books, helped. That whole Buffy once more with feeling thing where they say life is just living, the pain that you feel only can heal by living. It was very helpful.

This book was on my reading list for ages, but I only started reading it when I was in hospital myself. It is very well written and a joy to read, but most important, it is THE spiritual self-help book that inspired me most of all books I've ever read (and that is a lot)!!! I could rely to Anita's thoughts that lead up to her illness a lot, even if coming from a complete different background myself. I can not praise Anita enough for sharing her NDE experience with the world and to write it in a way for everybody to understand that there is no need to be afraid, no need to fuss and stress. Instead focus on the present moment and realise that you are love and that you are magnificent the way you are!!! I've heard it a lot before, but this time it got through.Trying to keep Anita's messages in mind helped my own healing process tremendously and I will probably read this book again and again so that I will never forget what life is really about! This book has definitely touched my soul! Thank you Anita!!!

I bought 'Dying to be me' after being very impressed by Anita Moorjani on youtube. Her authenticity shines through, while her words carry with them a gentle yet powerful reminder of our true nature.There are many important lessons within these pages. When we realize that what lies beyond life in the physical form is infinite and profound love, we must surely ask ourselves what we can do to bring greater awareness of this into our daily living. When we really start to apply it to our lives we begin to see everything differently, to do everything differently, and life begins to taste much sweeter.For those who prefer a more scientific approach Dr Eben Alexander, a neurosurgeon, has written a book about his own Near Death Experience. In it he discusses many of the hypotheses regarding NDEs with skeptical, scientific rigour. He concludes that none of these hypotheses explain the facts relating to his case and describes his experience of brain death.
