When examining consciousness, we would be remiss not to speak of death and what we think happens to our consciousness when we make the final transition in this plane.  

We want to introduce you to a friend with an expansive experience practicing and teaching meditation who has written a book called Overcoming the Fear of Death, Kelvin Chin.

As a teacher of meditation for 40 years, Kelvin Chin has deep experience in the field of self-development, and brings a refreshing "pragmatic idealist" approach, grounded in "knowing oneself," to his work in legal services, business development, mediation, meditation, and overcoming the fear of death. 

​He has been working with audiences on death and dying issues since the 1980's and has taught numerous seminars for the healthcare industry, was a Long Term Care Ombudsman for the California Department of Aging, and a co-founder of the Center For Medical Ethics and Mediation.

His book is unique. He outlines 4 belief systems regarding death that underlie all religions and cultures. His approach is nonreligious and aims to increase readers' understandings about death through their own lens of belief without creating a need to modify their individual belief structures to reduce their fear of death.

He explains 4 Main Belief Systems About Death:
1) No Belief in Afterlife
2) Afraid of Heaven or Hell
3) Looking Forward to Heaven
4) Belief in Past Lives

He walks people through the process using personal stories from friends and family in a way that humanizes the subject, making the book a ‘fun read.’

Kelvin has taught meditation in living rooms, schools,  businesses worldwide for 40 years and does work with individuals in person and via phone, Internet, and Skype. Kelvin has taught more than 1,000 people from extremely diverse socio-economic groups an easy-to-learn technique of naturally Turning Within with no concentration or religious affiliation required.

This has been a great week for us.  The people we meet continually impress us with how ready and hungry they are to truly connect.  We find ourselves being more mindful of being more mindful because of the beings who find their way to our office; constantly reminded that each person is a mirror for us and is there for a reason.  We are entertained and educated by the increasing amount of synchronicity and insight that comes from each new person we have the opportunity of connecting with.  

As exciting and full as today was, I created this:  It is part of a series I've been working on entitled, "Insight".  

In December of 2014, I received a call from my best friend from college.  She had just met a young lady in San Francisco who introduced her to an amazing new technology, the Lucia N°03 (A hypnagogic light and meditation appliance).  She spent the next one and a half hours detailing her 45 minute experience.  She attempted to share what her experience was like: What she saw, heard, felt, and numerous attempts to explain what she encountered.  It lead her to a peaceful loss for words.  

As she was concluding her call, she said, “I think if I were to do this once a month, I’d flat be a better person.”  That stopped me dead in my tracks.  She is one of the most amazing women I’ve ever known.  I was intrigued to the point of looking at airfares to fly over a thousand miles to try it myself.  This may not sound like much to many of you, but I swore off non-mandatory air travel years ago and those close to me know how adamant I have been about it.  To my surprise, I found myself flying from Austin, TX to Boulder, CO about two weeks later to meet up with my guide to the light.  Allison turned out to be a delightful young lady who I readily identified with.  She made me feel at home, bought me breakfast, drove me back to her office, made me herbal tea, and answered lots of questions I had about this amazing technology.   Then, it was time.

I put on headphones and positioned myself comfortably on her couch, under a light that looks something like this:
