028. Shared Death Experience: What NICU Babies Taught Lauren About Life, Death, and the Soul’s Journey

Today’s guest, Lauren Dionysius, shares with us her incredible life's journey and awakening. A former NICU nurse working with babies born into the world with the toughest challenges, Lauren had a near-death experience in the Zambezi River while on a much needed career break in Africa. 

On her return home, Lauren felt the deep inner call to return to work in the NICU, but found herself bargaining with the universe for things to be different. Little did she know what she’d just asked for. 

When Lauren returned to work she began having profound spiritual experiences with the babies she was caring for. Initially thinking she was going mad, she realised that the wisdom these babies were sharing with her completely changed how she cared for babies clinically and also her own beliefs around birth, life and death. 

Lauren discusses the shared death experiences she had with several babies in the NICU, where she witnessed the transition of their souls from the physical world to the spiritual realm. She describes feeling the energy of the babies leaving their physical bodies and the sense of freedom and peace they experienced. 

Lauren shares in detail what she learned from these babies about why they choose to come to Earth and how they leave for their own reasons, which are often unknown or not considered by society. 

Lauren shares with us the profound insights she’s gleaned from these experiences about the true nature of reality, life and death and emphasizes the importance of holding space for both the beauty and the grief of these experiences.
