Tara Lost Husband Robin to Leukemia 4 Years ago, Before 4th Anniversary

Tara's Deep Loss and Doubt

Tara Swart Bieber reveals the deep emotional impact of losing her husband, Robin, to leukemia nearly four years ago just two days before their fourth wedding anniversary. She recalls how he was given two weeks to live but survived for three and a half weeks, his passing coinciding closely with a significant date in their relationship. The loss devastated her, leaving her feeling totally lost and broken. Walking past the hospital where Robin was treated is a poignant trigger for Tara, as it reminds her of her profound loss.

Tara struggles with a sense of doubt and guilt, particularly around the concept of moving forward with her life and career. She admits to not being fully healed in her grief journey and fears letting her light shine after Robin's death.

In Grief, Tara Received Inexplicable Signs From Robin

Following Robin's death, Tara started receiving signs from him which led her to consult a couple of mediums. However, she came to believe that if communication with the deceased is possible, she should be able to receive the messages herself. She communicates with Robin daily, asking questions in her mind and receiving what she feels are answers from him. These signs have included specific symbols, like the phoenix and infinity symbol. Tara has seen these symbols spontaneously appear in her life, and she set criteria for these encounters to discern meaningful messages from Robin's spirit.

Tara recounted an incident where she found an elastic band in the shape of an 'H' after asking for a sign from Robin. Such phenomena have brought her comfort and guidance during her grief. Interactions with nature, particularly robins appearing in her garden, also serve as poignant reminders of Robin and their connection beyond his physical presence.

Neuroscientist and psychiatrist Tara Swart Bieber's personal experiences and professional curiosity have led her to explore the profound questions surrounding consciousness, the mind-body connection, and the possibility of an afterlife.

Neuroscientist Tara Studied Communication With Her Deceased Husband

Tara acknowledges the taboo of claiming it's possible to communicate with the deceased. As a psychiatrist, she was part of teams that hospitalized people for claiming similar experiences. However, prompted by the passing of her husband, she set out to discover if communication post-death was possible, drawing on her expertise in optimizing the brain and expanding consciousness.

Tara Found Evidence From NDEs, Terminal Lucidity, and Neuroplasticity Challenging Her Beliefs About Consciousness and the Mind-Body Relationship

Her research took her through various phenomena that defy conventional scientific explanation. This included near-death experiences (NDEs) and cases of terminal lucidity, where people with severe cognitive impairments recover their mental faculties just before death. Witnessing her husband's essence leaving his body led her to hypothesize that the mind, psyche, or soul may exist separately from the physical form.

Tara Hypothesizes That Consciousness May Extend Beyond the Brain and Matter

Tara cites compelling accounts from Dr. Mary Neal, Dr. Eben Alexander, and Dr. Bruce Grayson's research on NDEs. These stories suggest consciousness might operate independent of the physical brain. She suggests the human brain might filter down the mind's capability to exist on this material plane, pointing to fundamental questions about the nature of consciousness.

Tara Presents Research and Case Studies on Potential Afterlife or Continued Consciousness Beyond Death

Tara provides evidence that challenges the traditional understanding of consciousness as being solely an emergent property of brain function.

Terminal Lucidity and Near-Death Experiences Show Expanded Awareness

The concept of terminal lucidity, exemplified by cases like an 82-year-old woman with Alzheimer's becoming momentarily lucid before her death, and documented NDEs where people recount expanded awareness and realms beyond the known physical world, suggest the possibility of consciousness beyond death. These accounts are difficult to explain through current neuroscientific concep ...

Tara Views Altered States Like Dark Retreats or Psychedelics As Gateways to Expanded Realities, Aiding Personal Transformation

Tara Swart Bieber discusses dark retreats, originating from Tibetan religion, as a method for personal spiritual exploration. She describes going into complete darkness for extended periods, emulating the benefits of a near-death experience without the danger. Tara suggests altered states as a way to access "the abilities that we have that we're not aware of" and as a method to reveal dimensions of reality that are usually hidden from our perception. She associates the darkness-induced altered states with loosened mental filters, allowing individuals to perceive light and visions in the absence of external light sources.

Moreover, Tara believes altered states provide a glimpse into what's possible, and people might seek natural ways to achieve similar states after experiencing them. She mentions research comparing the effects of conscious connective breath work to a moderate dose of psilocybin. Tara points to awe-inspiring experiences, such as being engrossed in nature or watching a ballet, as also leading to altered states of consciousness.

Intuition and Somatic Awareness: Tara's Pathways to Deeper Wisdom and Meaning

Releasing Trauma Through Yoga, Dance, and Massage: Tara's Insights

Tara Swart Bieber talks about trauma stored in the body, not fully accessible through talking therapy as it's embedded in bodily tissues. She states that trauma can manifest later as physical issues, citing her own experience while her husband was in the hospital. To release trauma, she recommends engaging in activities such as dancing, singing, drumming, humming, chanting, massage, yoga, and craniosacral therapy. Tara notes these practices relate to ancient wisdom, like the Greeks wailing and beating their chests to rid themselves of grief.

Tara also discusses that hidden wisdom, like trauma, is stored not just in the brain but also in the body. She suggests that practices like yoga, dance, and storytelling can tap into intuition and wisdom that is physical and not just cerebral.
