Dying to be me! Anita Moorjani at TEDxBayArea

Doctors had given Anita Moorjani just hours to live when she arrived at the hospital in a coma on the morning of February 2nd, 2006. Unable to move as a result of the cancer that had ravaged her body for almost four years, Anita entered another dimension, where she experienced great clarity and understanding of her life and purpose here on earth. She was given a choice of whether to return to life or not, and chose to return to life when she realized that "heaven" is a state and not a place. This subsequently resulted in a remarkable and complete recovery of her health. Anita's riveting talk will inspire you to transform your life by living more authentically, discovering your greatest passions, transcending your deepest fears, and living from a place of pure joy. Her true story will radically alter your current beliefs about yourself, your purpose on earth, your health, your relationships, and your life!
About our speaker.
ANITA MOORJANI BIO:
Anita Moorjani has become something of an international sensation since her book "Dying to be Me" hit the New York Times bestsellers list only two weeks after its release in March, 2012. She had experienced what most people never have; she "crossed over," and came back to share what she learned. Her remarkable NDE (Near-death experience) and subsequent healing from end-stage cancer is one of the most amazing cases ever recorded. Doctors had given her mere hours to live when she arrived at the hospital in a coma on the morning of February 2, 2006. Unable to move, and in a deep coma as the result of the cancer that had ravaged her body for nearly four years, Anita entered another dimension, where she experienced great clarity and understanding of her life and purpose here on earth, and was given a choice of whether to return to life or continue on into death. Anita chose to return to life when she realized that "heaven" is a state, not a place. This subsequently resulted in a remarkable and complete recovery of her health within days of her return.
Born in Singapore of Indian parents, Anita has lived in Hong Kong most of her life. She is multi-lingual, and from the age of two, grew up speaking English, Cantonese, and an Indian dialect simultaneously. She had been working in the corporate field for several years before her cancer diagnosis in 2002.
She is the embodiment of the truth that we all have the inner power and wisdom to overcome even life's most adverse situations, as she is the living proof of this possibility.
World-renowned author, Dr. Wayne Dyer has been instrumental in bringing Anita's story to public attention, and wrote the foreword to her book. He subsequently invited her to appear on his TV special, "Wishes Fulfilled", which airs frequently on PBS.
Following the global success of her book, which is being translated and published into 34 different languages, Anita has regularly been interviewed on various prime time television shows around the world, including three times on "Fox News" in New York, "The Jeff Probst Show" in Hollywood, cable TV's "National Geographic International", "The Pearl Report" in Hong Kong, "HeadStart" with Karen Davila in the Philippines, CNN documentary in production, among many others.
She inspires her audience to transform their lives by living more authentically, discovering their greatest passions, transcending their deepest fears, and living from a place of pure joy, and has the ability to explain such mind-bending concepts as timelessness, non-duality, and simultaneous realities, in such simplified terms that everyone can understand.
Anita is currently one of the most sought after inspirational speakers in the world and addresses sell out audiences all over the globe.

So she suddenly understood why she got cancer, hence the cancer disappeared. If only it was like that. Doctor: "You got terminal cancer because you smoked so many cigarettes". Me: "Oh I understand, now watch my tumours disappear!"

[@KeithGreenshields]

@@vaettra1589 She said cancer was a gift, a challenge but said she had developed it by her self internal thinking. She hated herself and the result became the evidence of cancer. Smoking is the result of a form of rebellion and insecurity thus lack of self acceptance became the result of giving personal power away to others through a need of approval thus again lacking self love and living in a fearful state. If one looks back at cause and effect, one can see how he/she became the sum total of their choices manifesting the world they experience today. The message is to change your awareness and focus on things that create life and not take away life. I remember a story I saw on KZbin, their was this women who had cancer and was going to die within a few weeks or so. She accepted her fate and was able to let go enough that she began watching cartoons with her children and began to laugh for the first time in a long time. That was all she did, she laughed day after day and as the weeks past, she saw her doctor and the doctor said she had no more cancer.

[@vaettra1589]

@@KeithGreenshields The New Age magical thinking that you give yourself cancer is old. It's also common in certain religions that you have yourself to blaim for cancer and other diseases. When in truth the most common cause for cancer is not bad habits, or genetic predisposition, or failing to pray hard enough to the god of your choice - it's plain bad luck. It's provoking and condescending to suggest that people who dies from cancer do so because they don't accept their fate, or don't understand their esoteric lessons.

I love Anita's 5 points! In 1998 I was told I had 3-6 months to live, and I asked mySelf what would be worth living for. My anaswer was Love. I had stopped loving life, I had compromised who I am, and those actions were killing me. I prayed to be my truest Self, and to love as unconditionally as I could. That is the journey I began and still travel. LS Marie

This helped me be at peace with my mother’s passing. It helped me feel that she is still connected to me and helped me to believe that she heard every word I said to her even when she could not respond to me. It helped me to believe that she still hears me when I speak to her even 5 years after she left this earthly realm. Grateful beyond words for this video. I pray this video brings others peace in their grief. Even more, I pray this brings peace to anyone who is trying to find light in moments of darkness.

[@karencollins7582]

It really does bring peace. I lost my mother 5 years ago in November and my father last July. These life stories always inspire me to know they are around. I finished an audiobook a few weeks ago.

[@yinyang5589]

I have been a Buddhist over four years now. When I first I read experiences like this told by Buddhist masters, I said wow; I can’t tell how much I believed it. Over the past four years, I read more and more such experiences told by both Buddhist masters and fellow Buddhist cultivators, and I am more and more convinced. Nonetheless, I sometimes find myself fearful at death. I lost four close family members in five years; I have been struggling to crawl out of the shadow of fear and anxiety. Today, I watched Anita’s video, and it really helped to chip away my fear. Thank you very much Anita🌹

Her rebirth from coma is not a gift for herself, it is a gift for us as well. If you have never been through severe anxiety, self criticism, need for perfection, pleasing others, you will never be able to comprehend the true meaning of her words.

[@ideasareLIMITLESS]

I've never heard her called a fraud as some below say they have...her case is a very famous medical case that doctors know about as she was under the care of doctors for some years so they have her long detailed medical history and here she has been now..for years after they said she had hours to live! She is inspirational to millions of people and one reason why we can now have this conversation in "public" and you find that most people agree. Once a few people come out bravely and tell their story, then you find that many others suddenly speak up and say "Well yes actually I had an experience like that too" How do we find Truth if we don't listen, talk, discuss these things? We need truth in a world full of misinformation and human opinion. She is alive and well...that tells you she is speaking the truth. And Jesus said "You shall know the truth and the truth will make you free" So lets continue to accept truth without doubt especially when the proof is standing on front of you!

[@Itraininthebogs]

You are so gullible.

She's not the only one anyway..there have been lakhs of cases..Just as real as her case..It's all real..No one is a fraud..What they have experienced is completely real cause if they all were to lie they would have told different stories but what they all say is extremely accurate to the details inspite of living being unheard of other people..some of them were atheists as a matter of fact and they still went through this..even now they all can't lie the same lie right ? That's cause it's the truth..

[@annebruyne]

Do read her book DYING TO BE ME ! deep insights from beginning to the end

[@TheJoeyNitro]

This should be the most viewed video on KZbin.

[@MMijdus]

I am a big fan of Moorjani. But in my opinion she does not stress enough that she received all these wisdoms during her coma, during her near-death-experience. Does the audience really understand that she got all of it while she was "unconscious"? The clarity of an NDE is what makes her message so special and valuable. Her book is very good.

[@dancewomyn1]

***** See, I think that's the beauty and power of this story. She wasn't "unconscious" she was actually in a heightened state of universal consciousness! We think because we are walking around, and doing things, that we are conscious, but I think social constructs lead us far away from authentic living. Universal "consciousness" is truly being connected to all things as she describes here.

[@MMijdus]

dancewomyn1 Of course, I understand that she had superconsciousness, while she was in coma. I do. But does the audience understand this? That is my point. People could think that she got this wisdom from normal consciousness while lying in the hospital bed. But her NDE brought her in a state of extreme clarity. Indeed that is the power of her story!

[@dancewomyn1]

***** Agreed..... I really don't know what the audience gleaned from her story, but I am moved because I truly believe that we are completely capable of being "superconscious" in this way all the time! I believe the NDE removes all social barriers that block universal connection, so we are most open and available when our defenses are shut down. Of course I can't speak with total certainty, but I believe we are connected to all things, and as a result conscious of them.

[@eternalnate]

dancewomyn1 Our conscious waking state is said to be only 20% of our total mind.

[@Lehmann108]

I had the same experience while in the hospital. I wasn't near death, but my consciousness shifted. I could see 360 degrees all around me which made total sense at the time. Then I shifted again and I understood everything. I simultaneously "felt" everyone else's experience throughout the entire hospital. It all made complete and total sense. I saw life as this exquisite whole that was moving towards greater wholeness and wonder. The amazing thing was knowing everything and recognizing this as the natural state of a ll human beings. I came out of this state a few minutes later when a friend came over to wake me up. I could experience him wanting to say something to me and also recognizing that it was appropriate to come out of this state at that moment. He touched my shoulder and I popped back into everyday reality.

[@marline123eagle]

What a special experience you had. I wish most people can understand how interconnected we all are on earth and that we are wasting our time with minor stuff such as class, race, faith, ethnicity etc... such a waste of human time on earth. We should instead find out what God's purpose is for us during this temporary earthly journey.

I've been following her. Now, I am a Christian and I believe that her reality of death is very real. I've had two, very close friends who had a NDE and all of them said that there is an immense feeling of a warmth surrounding you and a deep feeling of unconditional love. It's a life changing experience. You don't have to die to have an experience that is similar to hers. Just be you, share your gifts, receive the gifts given to you and accept everything with grace and faith. Your world will open up. She had this experience, but she continues that journey here on earth and it shows. Let's just live true to ourselves. Let's just be that fearless and never let any relationship or circumstance define us, negatively. We have that choice. ♥

I am so happy to see that so many people talked about the wonderful message they take away after watching this video. I love the message so much as well. Albert Einstein said: "There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle." I am saddened that a small number of people, yelling and shouting so loud that she is a fraud. They just don't get it. If you don't believe the story, you don't have to. Just focus on the message. These people usually have made their decisions before they ever watched the video. So, they focus on proving that they are right. (How do you know that you are ignorant if you are so ignorant that you don't even know that you are ignorant). My suggestion is that try to focus on the positive, you will be much less angry and live a more peaceful life. Best of health!

+Music Lover By ranting loudly and incoherently, you are not going to drown the fact that all this near-death experience is just what your mind is playing out when it is struggling for oxygen. Take all medical help and then crap on medical profession after your life is saved. If she had not taken the BEST medical help to treat a very curable cancer, I would have listened to her. But she being DISHONEST to the core here. She hated allopathy all her life and then she begged for it at the end. If she could cure herself, why did she get so sick in the first place? Near-death experience is not real DEATH.

[@azitam.a.1682]

“To consider that after the death of the body the spirit perishes is like imagining that a bird in a cage will be destroyed if the cage is broken, though the bird has nothing to fear from the destruction of the cage. Our body is like the cage, and the spirit is like the bird. We see that without the cage this bird flies in the world of sleep; therefore, if the cage becomes broken, the bird will continue and exist. Its feelings will be even more powerful, its perceptions greater, and its happiness increased.” ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

I really like her analogy with the warehouse. I've used a similar one for a long time. Awareness is so much like light. Meditation is the tool to sharpen and control your awareness. It can be very focused like a laser or spread out like a flood light. We're always dancing between the two extremes, depending on what's necessary at the moment.

[@FaithfullyRich]

My heart stopped in 2015 due to a 3rd degree heart block and sudden cardiac arrest. The experience I had was indescribable. Then I read Anita's book "Dying to be Me" and especially her analogy of the warehouse. Yes!! Here is the way i explain my experience: I heard without ears, saw without eyes, and remembered something so ancient and pure and true that it changed me completely. It was a remembering. It was pure love. It was an expansion of consciousness that will always be a part of me now. Christ consciousness.

[@SotirisSpyrakopoulos]

One thing people like Anita Moorjani do not worry about at all is people not believing them. First, they do not need to be believed, they do not need to be right, they share a message with whoever is able to receive it. Second, there is nothing they can do so that skeptics do believe . Even skeptics themeselves do not know what it takes for them to believe. Even if God presented Himself to them and raised people from the dead, they would still refuse to believe (rings a bell?). Belief is afterall a choice. You choose to believe, as you choose to spot things with the "spotlight of your awareness" - good things and bad things. If you choose to disbelieve, there's nothing anyone can or should do. Moorjani's speech is a treasure of spirituality. If you can not see that, just take the five key messages at the end of her speech. There is but good to be taken out of them.

[@chreecree]

+Sotiris Spyrakopoulos Thank you. Those who feel compelled to question her experience should do so from within themselves. Attacking her and her experience is not only embarrassingly transparent, it matters not. She has nothing vested in whether or not others believe her words. She is simply offering her insight into a subject that we all contemplate and most "fear". The beauty will come when we pass over and realize our "opinions" only served our own ego and blocked us from the truth. The sooner we retreat from attachment, ego and being right, the sooner we can experience "Heaven" on earth. Namaste.

[@maxdarwin8347]

+Christine Fogarty What a bummer, eh? One blind man applauds another blind man. If one's feeling is taken is evidence of something so massive, then you are compelled to accept the feeling of another who has a diametrically opposite feeling. Many mentally ill patients feel and see weird things. Now Sotiris and Christine will ignore such feelings and visions. Hypocrites! The world will stop looking for logical and rational solutions if the world is full of people like Christine and Sotiris. Just because something emotionally appeals to you.....does not make it true. What a shame that people keep pushing this nonsense everywhere.

[@SotirisSpyrakopoulos]

+Max Darwin The thing with "logical and rational" people like you, Max, is that you can understand about life that much as your brain can do the math, which is obviously very limited. Now, THAT is a shame. You are convinced that life is contained within the limits of your brain and vanishes when your brain dies. You regard life as a constant battle of your brain to survive in an ever hostile environment that threatens it (you, your ego) until a day comes that your brain stops working and you no longer exist. Go ahead and believe this. That's fine by me. Your mind is blind to what your heart sees. If you want to understand more open your heart, not your mind.

[@maxdarwin8347]

+Sotiris Spyrakopoulos OMG!!! If only you could read what you wrote!!! When people like you respond to rationalists, I hear accusations, contempt, and mild threats. Please read your own message again. You know why you guys (religious and vague spiritualists) do such silly things? You feel threatened and you hit back, while you preach love and forgiveness. What a shame that there is no effort to understand the real world, but there is a serious attempt to create an imaginary world to feel better. If we have to give respect to your feelings, you should also give respect the feeling of anyone (mad people eg) and everyone because none of you have any evidence for your feelings; other than saying, I felt it in my HEART and GUTS. How strange of you to talk about feelings in the heart, while belittling the brain. SHAME!

[@SotirisSpyrakopoulos]

+Max Darwin That's hilarious indeed! So, I take it, you are a rationalist and I am a religious vague spiritualist! Well, I know one thing for sure. I am no saint and I am not preaching anything. I have no idea what you are or want to be, but good luck with it. I am not trying to convince you about anything and I would love to learn anything by anyone who has anything to say, even you. I do not feel threatened by what you say but if you take the time to respond to my thread here with irony and contempt, I might be tempted to respond out of courtesy. You were not invited to comment on this thread, but still you did as if it was addressed to you or threatening you. Nevertheless, your comments are welcome, but might also be replied to. If you feel you need to win the argument, let it be. You win the argument. Your logic is unbeatable.

@@2msvalkyrie529 Said very well by someone who has no idea what they are talking about...If all you understand is what alcohol or weed feels like you have no clue what spiritual experience feel like. I've had plenty of other experience while meditating or even lucid dreaming, but you would probably dismiss them as well with some nonsensical BS.

[@ExplorewithSarahlouise]

Yea I had a similar near death experience just in meditation once it never happened again jsut the one time I was in a period of life I was doing hours of meditation and yoga every day. Just that one experience stopped me ever fearing death or havint doubt there is more: I don’t think you need to actually need to die to have these experiences on spiritual path is a lot of cross over. I wasn’t on any form of drugs by the way and come out of body about 3 times in total

[@ExplorewithSarahlouise]

@@troymsmall I guess I can understand how people who never had these experiences don’t believe them and I guess it’s just not their time to experience but it’s for sure very real when you are open to it.

[@yvonneh5334]

@@ExplorewithSarahlouise I had similar experience as you during meditation over 20 years ago, when my life was a lot simpler. I used to meditate every night in my bathroom, sitting on a chair in the dark (all lights off). In deep meditation one night, my breath spontaneously stopped and I was lifted upward as if moving out of my body. I was quite conscious of not having breath (no air or chest movement). Don't know how long that lasted. I felt no discomfort but I was concerned, a bit afraid. I remember asking myself, "Am I dead? That stopped the experience immediately. My breath came back and I settled back into my body. It was only that one time. Never happened again. I never knew such a thing could happen in meditation. It wasn't until years later when I read Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda, that I came to understand some yogis would meditate and temporarily leave their body lifeless, dead (no breath, no heartbeat).

[@saikrishnarao6395]

Thank you Anita. I got clear on what it is be one with the eternal consciousness. While conceptually I am aware that I am the consciousness,your sharing gave me a picture of what it looks like. Death is so beautiful in your sharing. So there is nothing to fear about death and nothing to cry on people who have died. The choice we have is to live happily here untill we each our home. You are awesome and thank you for making the difference

[@bindooruggoo4227]

You are absolutely right

[@sharkbaitblu]

Her description is so similar to my experience I had when I was 12yrs old. No I wasn't dying or injured something drew me out of bed in the middle of the night to just look up at the sky and it just happened. It was life changing, I experienced an immense awareness and connections to everyone and everything in the universe. It scared me at first but my curiosity developed and Im a life long student of life who is trying to live more compassionately and fearless too. Im still learning but that's half the fun. : )

[@gourabforme]

I had the exact similar experience as you, the only difference is I was 25 at that time, and I am an atheist. I was scared and overwhelmed with the experience, there was no body, yet I existed, then what am I ? I discarded this as some sort of brain anomaly. and then it happened again another day, This time it was clear that it was not an imagination. Once I understood that, it stopped happenning. I am 33 now and still not sure about God, but I am sure about the existence out of this body.

[@CharlieLangHKG]

For those of you who doubt whether Anita is real, I can guarantee she is 100%. I’ve known her since 2002 when we were studying coaching together. Her NDE happened several years after and I met her on and off and then again after the NDE, and she was visibly transformed by it.

[@riya-fj5yj]

[@CharlieLangHKG]

[@alisongreen3202]

Yes! I have told her that too! It's very similar to the allegory of the cave! Great insight! Best wishes, Mich from Team Anita

+Jane M I agree! Anita articulates her NDE so clearly!

[@priya10009]

Thanks for sharing your story, it's wonderful experience you shared with all. I can understand your feeling as I also experienced something similar.

[@parissun1]

Many who have experienced a near death experience do not share them. The reasons may very, too personal, fear of not being believed, fear of people calling them crazy, doubting the experience themselves, I am sure there are more reasons. If I remember correctly, Anita shared her experience in a group of other NDEs and her experience was so powerful, she was urged to write a book. Dying to be Me is one of the best books I have ever read. Destiny of Souls (a different author) is a close second.

[@DoowopLover]

Well, I've had cancer, and I've also had a NDE. So I understand what she is talking about. It's important to just be yourself. The inner person. This is who you really are. This is the part of us that survives physical death. Don't worry about social status, and don't become upset if someone doesn't like you. It's their loss and not your loss. You are a child of the universe, and you have a right to be here. Try to achieve as much happiness and joy out of your life as is possible. We are intended to be happy in our lives. Of course, we run into speed bumps and even mountains in our lives, but we eventually find a way around these obstacles. Keep smiling.

I love her message ( live fearlessly and laugh). Seems easier to when you have a big house to downsize from and easier to do if you’re not living check to check w zero support system. I guess if we all lived fearlessly and without greed at the same time, we could create heaven right here. But people value money over life so it seems.

[@allangilchrist5938]

Hello Melanie, I feel exactly the same way. I have heard so many middle class people talking-down materialism while living in detached houses enjoying good quality food and clothing. I doubt that a single one of these people would keep their 'faith' if they were reduced to living a life of poverty. I believe it is this type of person Jesus was referring to when he made the remark about it being easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. ❤️ Allan.
