My Near-Death Experience and How It Changed Me   "I was placed here on the planet to do something."Rae Irelan   Some experiences in our lives are the trigger point for change. In this case, I almost faced death to realize what I needed to do with my life.  In this episode, I will share with you my thoughts about my near-death experience and how it affected my views in life.  Part One of My Near-Death Experience and How It Changed Me    For those who do not know, I was a touring musician. Our career was going well, and I gave my whole heart and soul to that for many years. Think about doing 20 to 25 shows a month. We have a booking agency and management team, and it was just a lot of excitement. I immersed myself in the world of live music and rock and roll.  "The biggest lesson that I received in my near-death experience was our resiliency as humans." - Rae Irelan (12:28 - 12:37) To cut the story short, what happened was, I got into my car while I was upset. My life at that time was not at its best. My relationships were messed up, and my love life was in shambles. I would usually turn to drugs and alcohol to help me deal with my emotions.  I wanted to get out of that life.    And then I met an accident. My car went flying off the freeway, and I felt the car rolling, which was odd because I had the same dream since I was a little. And I thought it still was. Then, I heard a voice that I had never heard before. It wasn't the sound of my inner voice. It was definitely outside of me.  That voice basically told me, "You've been asking to leave your whole life. This is your gift. I want to give you a way out."  That's when it hit me. It was not the time to leave. I was not ready, and I haven't completed what I was brought here to do. I was thinking, "Please let me stay. I need to do what I was brought to do." I finally heard an 'OK.' I was coming back to my full consciousness. The last few tumbles happened, and then there was silence.   Part Two of My Near-Death Experience and How It Changed Me  So I made out alive, and I was able to scramble up my way back. A man who was driving behind me was in shock and told me the story of what happened. Upon hearing it, I was almost ecstatic, knowing that I am alive.  I was ready to go back home to write my ideas. I wanted to hold my loved ones and call everyone. And then reality hit me.  I saw lights of an ambulance, fire trucks, and cop cars. They slammed me against the cop car, and I was arrested. While I was sitting at the back of the car, I thought, "This is not what I imagined."  Most of us, when we are in a similar situation, you might think that this wasn't something you signed up for. In reality, these pieces of our lives, me sitting back at that cop car and waiting in the jail cell, strengthened me in my core. It made me realize that no matter what darkness you surround me with, I will shine my light.    You have to choose what you want to be in your life. And if you deeply believe in that, it’s going to happen. It’s a declaration.  It is the reason I created Soul Aligned show. I want people to get clear with their mission and purpose. Remember that you are brought here for a reason.  There are many people with anxiety and depression who are still dealing with it because they are not taking action.    "One of the most dangerous places we can be as leaders is to not be in alignment with our truth." - Rae Irelan (16:12 - 16:21)  Another lesson that I learned from my experience is the 'TRUTH.' When you look at the mirror, do you see the same things that people see in you? I thought, all of the stuff inside of me, I had never shown to the world at that point. It was a time for me to reveal myself to others. And the first step was to forgive and accept myself. All the pieces of you, all the ones that you were hiding, all the ones that you didn't want other people to see - bring it forward. It magnifies the light that you already are in the world because people can finally relate to you and can finally feel the humanness inside of you.
