Since the "Celestine Prophecy" it is rare nowadays that I find a book that provokes a reaction quite like the roller coaster ride on which I found myself whilst reading "Practicing Conscious Living and Dying". By the time I  finished reading the whole book, I had laughed, cried, been awestruck and inspired by the reslience and determination that these people related through their personal accounts of NDEs and subsequent life changes. Have you ever wondered what it was that you came to this planet to achieve? "Practicing Conscious Living and Dying" doesn't have all the answers, but it will definitely make you consider things from a different perspective and appreciate everything that you have in your life. It gives hope to those who may be suffering and reminds us that being in service is the way to really get to know yourself. 


 

Reality Shifters

There is truly something enobling and empowering in consciously living one's life, and "Practicing Conscious living and Dying" helps us discover thesecrets of how to better the lives we are blessed to have right now. This book is an extraordinary breath of fresh air for anyone caught up in the minutae of daily life who longs to catch a glimpse of meaning, continuity, connection, and inpiration beyond the hum-drum everyday. 


 

Pilgrims Mind Body Spirit

Annamaria Hemingway has brought together sixteen people's life stories and near-death stories, including her own, in this inspirational book. All share the theme of embracing death as a totally natural transition into an afterlife of welcome and homecoming - and the comfort and meaning this gives to life before death. How much of these stories constitites evidence for life after death will also depend on your viewpoint, but it makes a compelling case for the rewards of living your life as if your consciousness continues beyond death...


 

Journal of Spirituality and Paranormal Studies

Dropping the body is an ending, but also a beginning...

Deeply humanitarian and desperately needed in these times of complacence, neglect and denial.

An inspiring collection of true stories that address timeless questions about the nature of human existence, life, death and the afterlife.

This is an inspirational book and I feel privileged to have read it. The way the author has combined philosophical quotes, historical and religious information, with death-related experiences, is an admirable piece of writing. I gladly recommend this exceptional book.

Personal accounts of near-death experiences and after-death communication, a contribution to the rediscovered science of immortality.

Immortality, continuum, inner peace, unconditional love: an astounding compilation of recorded NDEs, celestial missions, resolute lessons and powerful perceptions into the earthly journey. Annamaria Hemingway's Practicing Conscious Living and Dying is emotionally moving and certain to illuminate those perplexed and fear-induced at the image of death. Purification for the soul. A remarkable read! 'Absolutely loved it!'

If you are looking for an inspirational and uplifting book about dying, this is it! Practicing Conscious Living and Dying: Stories of the Eternal Continuum of Consciousness has brightened my perspective about death. Each of these wonderful stories is full of security, clarity and warmth.
Michelle Cromer, author of 
Exit Strategy: Thinking Outside the Box


Practicing Conscious living and Dying: Stories of the Eternal Continuum of Consciousness offers a wide range of research that confirms death is only a transition. Even ardent skeptics will be impressed by the excellent first hand accounts that provide evidence for the continuum of consciousness following death of the physical body.

Bill Guggenheim, co-author of 
Hello From Heaven


Practicing Conscious Living and Dying weaves an exceptionally beautiful fabric of historic, religious, modern-day and philosophical views of near-death and related phenomena interwoven with inspiring true stories that underscore the positive and dramatic effect that death can have on a person's life. A must read for anyone interested in near-death experiences and the continuity of consciousness.

Yolaine M Stout, President, 
International Association for Near-Death Studies


I am captured by the style in which this book is written. Counterbalanced within each section is a series of personal stories of real people, illustrating through events in their own lives what has previously been described. And the way that is done is like nothing else I have seen in any book - creating a unique and friendly closeness that makes what is shared as immediate as it is intimate. An exceptional book. Highly recommended.

P.M.H. Atwater, Near-Death Researcher 
and author of books on her findings, including 
The New Children, Beyond the Light, and The Near-Death Experience Complete Sourcebook.


Death, it has been said, is the supreme teacher, and this beautiful and deeply moving book certainly exemplifies the adage. In it, you will meet about twenty people whose lives were profoundly touched -- and immeasurably enriched -- by an encounter with death, either through a near-death experience or the death of a loved one. The stories you will find here are not just consolatory, they are inspiring and instructive, and some will cause you to weep or marvel.

Kenneth Ring, Ph.D., author of 
many books on the near-death experience including 
Lessons from the Light


This is a glorious book. It is an antidote to the fear of death, the bugaboo that has terrorized humans since time immemorial. Practicing Conscious Living and Dying raises the power of story to its most majestic purpose that of helping people live richer, fuller, more meaningful lives.

Larry Dossey, M.D., author of 
The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things


Practicing Conscious Living and Dying achieves a perfect equilibrium between spiritual insights and inspirational testimonies of some exceptional individuals who, by their generosity, altruism and courage have transformed the lives of many. A must-read for anyone who wishes to live consciously and, as a result, prepares for dying and beyond.

Evelyn Elsaesser-Valarino, author of 
Death and Survival
Co-author with Kenneth Ring of 
Lessons From the Light


This book offers an important and helpful message. For those who have experienced a near-death event, you will be familiar with these stories. For those who have not experienced such an event Practicing Conscious Living and Dying: Stories of the Eternal Continuum of Consciousness offers insight and understanding to that space between life and death. It is not a new thing, but a familiar state of being, as if you have experienced it many times before. It is like going home. I am happy to have my story among this unique group. You just have to read it.
