Frank Ostaseski: "Five Invitations" (Book trailer). Accompanying a human being to the extreme limit of life, being a participating and empathetic witness of the moment of passing is a fundamental experience that radically changes the vision of existence and, therefore, the way of life of those who are not afraid to connect with others and their pain. After having been "sitting on the precipice of death" for years at the Zen Hospice in San Francisco, of which he was a co-founder, in his new book Frank Ostaseski addresses the reader with "Five Invitations" that arise, in addition to numerous personal vicissitudes, sometimes dramatic, from the stories of many terminal patients who, talking to him - a master of compassionate care -, have confronted death up close. "Don't wait": don't waste time, don't give up living every moment of life consciously.
“Welcome everything, reject nothing”: be open and receptive to the outside world, with your mind and with your heart.
“Bring your whole self into the experience”: accept every part of yourself, be complete, even if imperfect.
«Learn to rest in the midst of activity»: in every daily situation, try to carve out moments of pause, silence, detachment, to be able to meet with yourself.
«Cultivate the mind that does not know»: be curious and sharpen your ability to be surprised and amazed. In pages full of emotions and memories, illuminated by cultured quotes and the grace of simplicity, Ostaseski traces a path of awareness accessible to each of us, whose final goal is to make us understand that life and death are inseparable and acquire their meaning from each other and that every death is something unique and significant, a precious opportunity for wisdom and healing, not only for those who die but also for those who continue to live, because "death is much more than a medical event, it is a time of growth, a process of transformation that opens us to the deepest dimensions of our humanity. Death awakens presence, an intimacy with ourselves and with all that is alive".
Mario Dalla Torre: "I tasted Heaven. From coma to awakening".
Resilience is a property of metals that, when subjected to tension, subsequently return to their original shape. The term has been extended to the study of human beings who, when subjected to situations of great difficulty (both physical and psychological), show that they can emerge stronger than before. Resilience is not only an innate quality, but is something that we can all learn to develop. What you have in your hands is the autobiography of an extraordinarily resilient man, who emerges stronger and richer inside from the experience of a devastating car accident and the coma that follows: he discovers that he is capable of healing not only himself, but also others, both through the laying on of hands and by teaching them a method of self-healing that involves profound strategies of internal change.
