Near Death Experience
NDE or Near Death Experiences can alter your life forever.
Since the publication of my book,"How to Talk With Spirits" I have been contacted by groups who investigate and are interested in my NDE. I hadn't realized how many are truly to interested in learning what is on the other side of life.
Have you or someone you've known had a NDE and if so, did life change afterward as mine did for me?
When I experienced my dying and returning I no idea my life path direct me to a most unique and interesting profession.
You can hear me talk about it on Healing Arts Radio show http://readingsbyyerevan.com/radio-sh...
Excerpt from my ebook.
How it Began
In 1970, after a serious automobile accident and while in the ambulance, I expired for a moment and was subsequently revived. This was my first experience with spirit connection. For many years after this incident, I couldn’t talk about my profound experience of being on the other side. How could I explain I saw the light? How could I describe the ecstatic sense of pure joy and serenity unknown to me previously in this life?
Outside the crashed vehicle, a white light appeared to emanate from a woman standing close by. She stared at me intently through the windshield as I sat bleeding profusely from head and face injuries. Dazed, I looked back at her. Her presence was comforting and her face kind. Surrounded by a glow of light, she appeared to be clothed in all white. I felt loving warmth from the woman and thought I heard her say, “Don’t worry, it’ll be alright.” But that was impossible given the distance between us. Then the light enveloped me. Only I wasn’t led through a tunnel as others who have died and returned say they experienced. The next thing I recall was a policeman sitting in the driver’s seat next to me telling me to hang on. I knew he was talking to me but I couldn’t focus on him. All I could think about as blood poured onto my new coat bought for a first time date was how my clothes were ruined. It’s strange what bothers us in serious situations. I don’t recall being carried from the wreck to the ambulance or even the ride to the hospital.
With time, I remembered my journey to the other side. Once you have come back from the brink of death, you’re never quite the same. What happened during that time, how you felt, what you saw always remains vivid in your mind. I saw deceased relatives, some gone for many years. Some I only recognized because of old photographs in family albums. In a beautiful garden, they were laughing softly, their faces full of peace and love. A warm bright light surrounded the whole scene. An ornate white iron fence encircled the garden. I stood outside the fence, gazing at my happy grandparents, uncles and aunts. They watched me with big smiles. I felt peace and heartfelt love. Then they began to wave me away, cheerily saying, “Not now, June. Go back.”
--> My surgeon told me I was a lucky young woman because I expired in the ambulance for about twenty seconds. Twenty seconds that changed my life forever.
It was frightening and confusing for a nineteen year-old woman to see, hear and know facts about living and dead people. I fretted and wondered about these strange happenings. NDE, at this time, was rarely, if ever, discussed. People dismissed individuals such as myself with NDE experiences as delusional, fakes or odd. It was also a huge time of change both socially and politically. This may be why, in time, I accepted the fact my outlook on life was different. I could hear, see, feel, and even smell non-physical people as though if they were in front of me. And with acceptance came the desire to learn more about it.
-->
Had I really been on the other side? Was it a miracle I came back? An opportunity for a second chance in life to do something meaningful I had not considered before? Seeking information and education, I talked to numerous people who might have had, or knew someone with a NDE and perhaps like me saw and heard things which physically didn’t exist.
Fortunately since then, books such as Dr. Raymond Moody Jr.’s 1975 bestseller, Life After Life, and more recently Anita Moorjani’s 2012 To Heaven and Back validate and afford a kinder response to those who have experienced NDE. Reading Dr. Moody’s many case studies calmed my anxiety. I learned there were many individuals worldwide, and throughout history with similar experiences to mine.
A survey in US News World Report of March 1997 reported 15 million people have experienced NDE.

ARE YOU A WALK-IN? SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION
Excerpt from the ebook: "HOW TO TALK WITH SPIRITS: SEANCES, MEDIUMS, GHOST HUNTS" BY JUNE AHERNChapter 1Questions From the Curious Living
•
Are you a walk-in, and if so, is that how you became a medium?
The first time I was asked if I was a walk-in was in the early 1980’s. My reply was “I don’t know.” I really didn’t know much about walk-ins then.
Let’s first clarify what a walk-in is considered.In 1979 Ruth Montgomery, psychic and author of several books introduced in her book, Strangers Among Us, the concept of what is considered a walk-in. “Walk-ins,” she said, “are people from other dimensions who have walked in or came into a mature person’s body with the full consent of the person’s soul intellect.” She also said, “this isn’t a forced incarnation or takeover of a body as in being possessed. (I will discuss more about possession in a later question). The person agrees to leave her or his body and make it available to this new soul rather than go through physical death.
A walk-in occurrence may take place during a traumatic event like a serious illness or an accident. The situation may include a NDE, but not necessarily so. The person might choose to be open to a walk-in because they never quite fit in, feel foreign in their body, and no matter how they might try, can’t relate to anyone. It becomes too painful to continue to try and the person falls into depression. A person who lives this kind of painful mental, emotional and physical life leaves their bodies open to walk-ins. The pain can lead to a depression so severe a person attempts to take his/her life.
It is reported that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the charismatic civil rights leaders circa 1960, at the age of twelve tried to commit suicide when his grandmother passed away suddenly. At the time of this event, Martin disobeyed his parents’ instructions to stay home and not attend a parade. He went and returned hours later to learn his grandmother had died. Grieved from her death and guilty he had disobeyed his parents’ orders young Martin went upstairs and jumped from the second story window of his house. Of course he survived to go on and became a historical figure that greatly influenced millions and reshaped American society. Could his moment of grave despair be considered an opportunity for a walk-in to appear?
Please note: Not all with the above mentioned ills and challenges are open to walk-ins. You will read later my thoughts on my own experience with regards to my NDE and life thereafter.
What happens after the walk-in has adopted the body and mind? After a period of time and recovery from the trauma or illness, the person usually has noticeable different behaviorand her or his viewpoints of life changes. In some religions this might be considered having found God. The transition certainly won’t be an easy one for many reasons. Family and friends might feel bewildered by the sudden change and think or say such things as “she’s not her usual self” or “he seems to have gone off the deep end since the accident” and so forth.
Montgomery says in her book even some walk-ins are so confused and averse to living on earth he or she thinks, “Let me out of here!” Only, the new being has a clear intention and purpose. In time the being will settle down to help humanity advance in intelligent awareness and show them how to take greater care of fellow humans, animals and nature. This certainly sounds like Edgar Cayce who might have been a walk-in. Cayce was an American mystic who is considered the father of the New Age movement. At about the age of thirteen he got struck on the base of the spine by a ball in a school game. After the accident there seemed to be no apparent injury, although he behaved badly. The normally quiet boy threw things at his sisters and was disrespectful to his father. Eventually when put to bed and when asleep he began to talk. As his parents listened young Cayce diagnosed his ailment saying he was in shock. He gave the cure, which his family prepared and applied while the boy slept. The next morning he remembered nothing of the day, or talking in his sleep. He was back to normal. Soon after recovering he began to have psychic insights for others. In the years following the incident, Cayce, a devout fundamentalist Christian, was unsure whether his gift came from God or the devil or why it was given to him. He didn’t sway from his psychic medical readings and over the course of twenty-two years gave thousands of them while also helping advance the acceptance of psychic abilities.

SPIRITS OF SUICIDE: THE DARK & LIGHT
I'm writing about suicide because I understand both sides.Don't leave Earth. You can help heal it.
For the first time after fifty years I publicly reveal my own experience about attempting suicide to offer guidance to the living about the loved one who took her/his life.
What are your thoughts about suicide?
There is stigma about those who attempt or commit suicide; what was wrong with her/him? It’s so selfish. Guess they were crazy, they didn’t care or think of those who love them etc.
Louis Hay says in her book, You Can Heal Your Life, those who commit suicide are "Tunnel Visioned" - only darkness, no options and that is true.
As a troubled young woman soon after my near death experience, I attempted to leave the pain of living in, what I saw, a cruel world. I was pained mentally, emotionally and physically - feeling squeezed by all sides, no way out but to follow the darkness to a hopeful quiet place of rest.
After all Heaven was so blissful and now back to this? I saw no joy, thought no-one understood me, felt no love.
Lost, I was soul lonely.
Luckily, I was found and received the needed help to become the person I am today.
As a medium grieving relatives and friends of suicide victims ask me to help them understand why she/he committed suicide and to connect with the spirits to learn if they're at peace or still in pain.
In my book, How to Talk With Spirits: Seances, Mediums, Ghost Hunts you'll learn more, but now I share to help the grieving find some solace for your aching heart.
When the suicide spirit first leaves the body they continue feeling lost; drifting in darkness, maybe to some degree free of the pain the sought to flee from. Untethered from the physical body they remain confused and lost.
Eventually most find what they’re seeking, but some don’t and they can plague the living as ghosts, but that’s another subject for another time.
I’ve learned from spirits the comfort they seek remains unfounded until they surrender to the Light and Love Of The Divine Source –– God, Buddha, Allah.
Do they miss loved ones left behind? After the initial out of all that stuff lessens, they do. They feel guilty and sad for causing pain. They hear loved ones voices crying to understand WHY??? This can add to their already painful state as they float with no anchor of peace.
My advice to the grieving living is, send comforting thoughts to those who took their lives. Try to understand it's not you, it's the person's decision and inability to stop the tunnel vision, to believe they can't be released from the pains.
As best you can in time with calmness in mind and heart even if for only a few minutes begin sending mental messages of love while holding a hand over your heart. Say mentally or aloud her/his name you wish they find peace and comfort
From your heart to her/his heart connect with love perhaps in a color vibration– yellow like the sun; pink as in joy, blue peace, green healing energy.. Sit quietly in a semi-dark room. Light a candle to send your message and connect in a calm loving way that you know she/he left because life seemed cruel to them, not perhaps you were cruel or unkind - but to them life - but the world or another. If you know you were not as loving as you could have been, ask for forgiveness.
Recall a specific memory to share with happier time photos. Talk to the spirit as though she/he were sitting with you. Acknowledge the contributions with their unique abilities and skills. Thank her/him for time spent with you; how much you appreciated her/him.
If not indoors, sitting in nature is a lovely way for communicating with spirit.
Difficult as this is in time you’ll find some comfort in memories. Know that you have helped to free your loved one from their pains and to travel into a peaceful place.
The will move into the Light to be comforted with Great Love. After a period of rest and learning from other spirits they’ll begin to their return to life perhaps like me, to comfort and teach others in pain.
After a while most likely you will hear from her or him thanking you for lovingly understanding.
I'm glad my life on Earth didn't end because I found purpose through love a wonderful son, a great husband, grandchildren, nature, animals and my life purpose; work I enjoy.
Blessing to you who feel there's no answer and to those left behind who feel terrible pain of loss.

TIMELESS COUNSELOR: ARTWORK?
Your thoughts, please. Do you enjoy artwork in books?
This is about my first book published in 1989. I wrote the book based on the numerous questions asked me by people interested in how readers work and what to expect from a reading.
My career as a psychic reader and medium who never advertised (word of mouth) kept me busy for over 45 years. and I can say, this book truly is a complete consumer's guide to all aspects of a psychic reading.
I'm debating if I should and/or can put the original artwork in my new titled The Timeless Counselor: The Best Guide to a Psychic Reading, which is a complete consumer's guide to getting the most benefits from a psychic reading and much more (i.e. ESP Quiz).
The book leads a person through the process of how to find a reader best suited for them, how to prepare and ask questions to get the most, what to do with the information after and so much more - i.e. avoid scammers posing as readers; how to recognize them; 800 call-in readings, how to know which is real, so much!
Published in 1989 as A Professional Psychic Reading as Alternative Counseling it contained the artwork at the end of some chapters.
The original books are no longer available (all sold out years ago).
Right now the book is ebook only but in the process of becoming a paperback and audio book in 2021.
What do you think? Artwork? Paperback? Audio?
Some artwork included in first edition:
