Being who you are. Being Present. Being Peace. Being with Dying.

Here is a short clip of Ram Dass talking about being open and present to the dying and in return, being present to life.

Can you open your heart and be congruent?

It’s not just about being with the dying. . . listen carefully and ask yourself, does this apply to me as a therapist, a nurse, a volunteer, a family member? How do I live the lessons or better yet, how do I become the lessons?

Imagine how gentle we would be with each other. Imagine how much less baggage we would carry around, freeing up our energy to truly engage with the person before us, whomever they are.

We can be free right here, right now. We can be free in living and we can be free in dying.
