“The
near-death experience, and
particularly the life review, is often described as a summing up of the
events of one’s life. The Natural Soul reveals that it is far
more than that. It is also a first-hand experience of oneness with
others, of the fact that we are not separate, which puts the death (and
indeed the life) of the individual in a very different light. Barbara
Whitfield shows that what near-death experiencers (and in fact all of
us) long for is not another dimension, but rather who we are in that
dimension — and she shows us how to experience ourselves as
those
Souls right here, right now. It is a paradox that we go to great
lengths to find the source of happiness, which Whitfield shows us is
already and always the natural state of the Soul. Both religious
tradition and contemporary science seem to miss this basic point, as
they struggle to help us ‘understand’ what would
come
naturally if we only lived as Souls rather than as egos.Whitfield shows
us not how to ‘understand’ reality but how to live
it.” - Bruce

Thanks for sending a proof copy of The Natural Soul. I am looking it
over and I am excited how you are making the Holy Spirit/Kundalini a
practical and readable experience without diminishing its awe (Power).
I understand what you are saying because I have also experienced (on a
more limited scale) the dreams, visions and miracles that you describe.
Your recovery story is amazing and I appreciate how you have remained
focused on bringing great detail and guidance for those on the path of
light and True Self. --Omer

When a person has a near-death experience, he or she transitions from a
body-based to a soul-based consciousness, and in that soul-state is
granted for a moment outside of time a kind of all-knowing
understanding. Now suppose you could hold that state of consciousness
so that you could distill and communicate that knowledge to others.
Well, this is precisely what Barbara Whitfield has done in her
remarkable new book, The Natural Soul, which does indeed provide a
feast of soul-food for the mind --Kenneth
Ring, Ph.D. Author of Lessons from
the Light Emeritus Professor of
Psychology University of Connecticut
Whitfield shows us what is missing
for optimum health and peace of mind. Going beyond the conventional
medical model of prescription pills for every ailment, she describes
how we can nurture our health through the innate power within our
natural Soul. --Alan Gaby, M.D.,

and Reversing Osteoporosis
This book has a big theme that illustrates that the more we live from
our authentic Soul -- the more our Soul and the Souls of our loved ones
expand. And this may be part of the Divine Mystery of what life here is
really all about. Whitfield shows us how the deeply
meaningful
experiences in life including our relationships with our children and
grandchildren will help them to remember that they were spirit before
they were born and will be spirit again after this lifetime. An
excellent read. --Sandra

A lovely and sensitive book, which will be very comforting to those who

Death is often swept under the rug or ignored due to the fear
surrounding it. Barbara Whitfield boldly opens us to a journey filled
with love and beauty in place of one filled with fear. --Steve

The soul is limitless Life and Love Being, and the stories shared in
The Natural Soul leave you with a profound understanding of this truth.
Barbara writes that our Soul is who we are right now - not some kind of
spiritual concept or higher part of us ‘out there’.
It is
who we really are if we only take a moment to look at and feel our real
self. It is who we are before life, during life, and after life.
Indeed, our soul is life itself; eternal, unbreakable, and in every
moment connected to all those we love regardless of distance or on
which side of the veil we or they reside. --Dana

A work
of art that helps us
shift from a fear based sense of death to one that embraces
its
nature and opens the door of its Mystery. Barbara’s
compelling
words weave a story of inspiration where the reader will find hope. It
invites the Soul to soar. --Jyoti (Jeneane Prevatt, PhD)
