Conquering Death Anxiety
A Soul Perspective
In the Age of Energy science and mysticism meet in Quantum Physics
—Caroline Myss.
In The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, Sogyal Rinpoche quotes Dr Elisabeth Kubler-Ross saying - that when people come to grips with their own dying, then we would respect patients’ needs and listen to them, and would not have a problem such as fear of dying.

Consider why the fear of death is so powerful
Question the reason why death is an event to be avoided at all costs
Explore ways to positively prepare for death
Reflect on the role of grief in the larger tapestry of life

Unscrambling Grief.
Grief is a response to loss. Grief takes time, talk and tears and is carried on the wheel of life from generation to generation.
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 :-
All beings are invisible before their birth and after death are invisible again. They are seen between two unseens. Why in this find cause for grief?...The spirit that is in all creatures is immortal in them all. Why grieve for death of that which cannot die?”

Healing Ourselves by Healing the Ancestors.
Our energy is imbued with the energy of our bloodline. The field of epigenetics tells us that inherited stress can influence our present day lives. Once understood it can be healed.
“We also found—and this really was very surprising to us, that Holocaust offspring had the same neuroendocrine or hormonal abnormalities that we were viewing in Holocaust survivors and persons with post-traumatic stress disorder.”

Sogyal Rinpoche — Author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
“Perhaps the deepest reason why we are afraid of death is because we do not know who we are. We believe in a personal, unique, and separate identity — but if we dare to examine it, we find that this identity depends entirely on an endless collection of things to prop it up: our name, our “biography,” our partners, family, home, job, friends, credit cards… It is on their fragile and transient support that we rely for our security. So when they are all taken away, will we have any idea of who we really are?”
