Richmond IONS August 2022 Meeting

“Evidence for Reincarnation: 100 Cases of Reincarnation Among the Dong People”

Our August 20, 2022, program will feature a talk by Changzhen Li, independent reincarnation researcher, psychic and author, on his book 100 Cases of Reincarnation Among the Dong People (March 2020).

Changzhen Li documents his investigative journey deep into the homeland of the Kam people (officially the Dong ethnic group of China), located in the area between the provinces of Hunan and Guangxi in China.

The book offers a comprehensive account of Mr. Li’s work with 100 “Reincarnators” from the area of Pingyang, as well as dozens of its surrounding rural villages. All case studies are carefully documented to preserve the authenticity of their narratives, with accompanying video interviews available for reference.

While there had been many accounts of reincarnation in the world in which the subjects were able to recall memories from a past life, the cases detailed in this book are unique in that their subjects share a rare ability to recall memories from the intermediary stage between death and rebirth.

This unusual trait reveals groundbreaking and thought-provoking details about the activities of spirits beyond the land of the living and offers an invaluable addition to the field of reincarnation research.

As such, Mr. Li’s book may be the world’s most comprehensive account of this subject at the present time. It uncovers a myriad of unprecedented details concerning the activities of the spirits, including rare cases in which two-spirited individuals reincarnate into two separate beings.

It also includes an in-depth description of how birthmarks are formed under the influence of a reincarnating spirit, as well as the biophysical characteristics of spirits and their abilities.

Moreover, it includes details on how spirits enter and exit from an incarnation, the flight speed of certain spirits, solid evidence supporting the hypothesis of memories being stored within the soul rather than the brain, and much more.

Pingyang, the geographical area surveyed in this undertaking, was a rare community with one of the highest reincarnation densities in the world, and we look forward to hearing more about it.

Richmond IONS October 2020 Meeting

“What Really Happens in the Afterlife?”

Our October 17, 2020 program will feature a talk by Debra Diamond, Ph.D. She is a renowned Baltimore psychic, medium, author and death doula. Debra will speak about her book Diary of a Death Doula: 25 Lessons the Dying Teach Us About the Afterlife (2019).

Sooner or later, everyone eventually asks questions about end of life. What happens to me when my physical body dies? Is there an afterlife? If so, where do I go? Do my loved ones meet me? Will they usher me to the next plane of existence?

Based on Debra’s work as a death doula and medium, she will provide us with practical insights into how to deal with someone who is dying and a better understanding for communication and acceptance at end of life and death.

She will explain how our loved ones in spirit are present at end of life and how our energy fields and chakras transform at end of life. In addressing these issues, Debra will explain how consciousness transforms at end of life and death.

A New Understanding of Death

Debra will provide us with a new understanding of death, not as an end as so many believe, but as a doorway and transition into the next leg of our soul’s journey, and as an opportunity for transformation, both personally and collectively.

Thoughtful, compelling and engaging, Debra’s Diary of a Death Doula offers fascinating and profound new insights into the soul’s journey at end of life and in the afterlife. As a gifted psychic and medium, Debra brings a unique perspective to her volunteer work as a death doula at a hospice facility. She is able to participate in remarkable ways with her subjects in their transitional and transformational journeys into the afterlife.

We first met Debra in May of 2016, when she addressed our group about her then just published first book, Life After Near Death. Her Diary talk promises to be another rare treat for our group. We are very pleased to have her back for a return engagement.

Debra Diamond, Ph.D., is a gifted intuitive, channel, medium, psychic, healer, death doula and author (Life After Near Death: Miraculous Stories of Healing and Transformation in the Extraordinary Lives of People with Newfound Powers and Diary of a Death Doula: 25 Lessons the Dying Teach Us About the Afterlife).

Richmond IONS Meeting February 2020 Program

“The Answer is Love.”

Our February 15, 2020 program will feature a talk by Sandy Ward, Richmond-based spiritual medium, evidential psychic and spiritual counselor.

Sandy will share with our group the miracles, including miraculous healings, that she has witnessed in people’s lives from spirit to the physical plane through her experience helping people with their grieving process and providing them the knowledge that their loved ones are still around them today.

She will recount what she has observed and mediated through increased understanding of love and forgiveness on both sides of the veil. She will offer suggestions and guidance on how to recognize the common traits in others to better appreciate connections of love.

Sandy also will discuss and provide answers to some of the more typical questions she has encountered in her practice:

Does love transcend to the other side?
How can love from departed loved ones from the other side help me today?
Is it possible to feel love from those on the other side even though they never expressed love on this side?
Is it possible to tune into the spirit of departed loved ones?
Do my departed loved ones hear me?
Is grief a sign of love?

Sandy’s program also will feature 30 minutes of platform readings. This includes spontaneous mediumship with spirits who may be present with their loved ones at the program. It will conclude with 30 minutes of questions and answers from our group.

This is Sandy’s second talk to our group, her first having been in March 2017. We are grateful to have her back for what promises to be an exceptionally engaging presentation.

Richmond IONS Meeting, May 21, 2016

Featuring a talk by Debra Diamond

“Life After Near Death.”

Our May 21, 2016 program will feature a talk by renowned Baltimore psychic and medium, Debra Diamond, about her recently published book, Life After Near Death: Miraculous Stories of Healing and Transformation in the Extraordinary Lives of People with Newfound Powers.

Debra Diamond began her quest to better understand the special significance of NDEs about five or six years ago. Just a few years earlier, in 2008, she had had an extraordinary, life-altering experience of her own, wherein she was instantly transformed and catapulted from a secure and well-established position as a prominent and successful Wall Street money manager, investment advisor, frequent media commentator in Forbes and on TV shows like CNBC, and business school professor at Johns Hopkins University.

She gave up all that to become a full-time psychic and medium, almost overnight. Several years into her surprising new career she was asked to do a reading for a man who had had an NDE. She didn’t think twice about it, but the reading itself changed her nonchalant outlook entirely.

In her own words: “When I began to read this man, I realized: this was no ordinary reading. This time, the information I was being shown was literally out of this world. This man’s brush with death had left him with extraordinary gifts, with special powers. This was no ordinary man.”

From then until now, Debra has sought to more fully comprehend the extraordinary gifts that often accompany NDEs. Thoughtful, compelling and engaging, Life After Near Death offers fascinating and often profound new insights into the breadth and depth of individualized NDE special effects, a realm few if any investigators have explored in detail before now.

Debra’s book also is groundbreaking in another way, in that she uses her spiritual channeling, psychic and mediumship abilities as an investigative tool to further inform her NDE research. Her talk promises to be a rare treat for our group and we are very pleased to have her as our May guest speaker.
