Worthy Stokes: She Survived Death. Here's What She Learned About Living.

Episode #4: Worthy Stokes. She Survived Death. Here is What She Learned About Living. Why Worthy is Fiercely Human: Worthy is a near-death experience and polytraumatic brain injury, a survivor. After years of her own spiritual awakening and deepening her understanding of neuroscience and as a devout Buddhist, Worthy was hit by a 15-person passenger van while traveling in Seoul, South Korea and spent 120 minutes outside of her body, going into her near-death experience as a Buddhist and coming out with “no religion.” She shares what she experienced on the other side and why she chose to come back to her body. Worthy has beautifully simple yet profound messages about how to live life powerfully now as a human and from a place of curiosity and what moves us. She is also a gifted meditation teacher with an ability to uplift individuals at the deepest levels of neurological intelligence. Her Heartmind intelligence meditations exude breath-taking awareness in a fresh, secular approach to ancient spiritual truths. Her compassionate insights reflect years of mystical study worldwide. Oh, and don’t put her in a spiritual guru box, because she wants none of that. She is also pragmatic, sexy, super intelligent, funny and bad-ass. This conversation was SO illuminating and fun. I will carry it with me for a long time to come and hope you do too! In this episode, we deep dive into: ● Worthy’s five-year journey of spiritual awakening and mystical studies, including studying neuroscience and become a devout Buddhist practitioner (living with monks and learning from Tenzin Rinpoche (Tibetan Dzogchen) preceding her near-death experience and how it prepared her for it. ● What she experienced in the 120 minutes outside of her body and how that has impacted how she lives now. ● Her experience coming back from death to a broken body and injured brain that resulted in the loss of 2.5 senses. ● What she came to understand when she was unconscious and hemorrhaging (but was actually superconscious). ● The importance of coming to know and understand ourselves before we ask anyone else to understand us. ● The gifts in being able to hold anguish and beauty in our experiences at the same time. ● The liberation in rejecting labels and choosing when to put them only when it works for us at that moment. ● The difficulties of coming back to a world that had no context of the awareness she acquired. ● How her near-death experience affected how she lives every day and why her 95-year-old self is the spirit guide driving her Maserati these days. ● What heart-mind meditation is and how Worthy serves the world these days.
