In Part 10 of The Journey Beyond Death — and Part 2 of our “After-Death Communication” series — we explore groundbreaking methods for connecting with loved ones beyond the veil. Dr. Allan Botkin, renowned psychologist and creator of Induced After-Death Communication (IADC), shares how EMDR-based techniques can lift the crushing sadness of grief and create ideal conditions for spontaneous spiritual contact. His clinical work with PTSD veterans reveals that reaching a peaceful emotional state — not a hypnotic trance — opens the door to profound afterlife experiences.
We also reconnect with acclaimed author Philip Smith, who describes his ongoing relationship with his late father through automatic writing and subtle energetic cues. Smith’s vivid stories illustrate how spirit communication can be a natural extension of love and trust, not a mysterious or distant concept. His experiences challenge the skepticism of modern society and offer powerful testimony that emotional bonds persist beyond physical death.
Adding another dimension, Patricia Mischell — psychic medium and near-death experiencer — explains how meditation, intention, and spiritual discipline create pathways for genuine after-death communications. She stresses the importance of discernment, emotional openness, and daily practice in cultivating these extraordinary connections.
This powerful episode weaves together clinical research, personal testimony, and spiritual insight to illuminate one of the deepest questions of the human experience: Does death end the relationship, or simply change its form? Prepare to question everything you thought you knew
