What is Astara's Death Bardo

Guidance Through the Initiation Called Death.

How to Use The Death Bardo

Astara's Death Bardo is to be played for anyone who is passing through the initiation called Death. This Bardo is free for you on our website, in Earlyne's own voice. There are two parts to the Bardo. Play "Part One" just prior to transition -- as one is approaching death. "Part Two" is to be played immediately following transition.

The purpose of the recording is to give guidance and reassurance to the soul making the transition, regardless of age, sex, religious belief, attitude toward the afterlife, and even the positive responses from your loving pets who respond to the vibration of this beautiful Bardo. It also serves to instruct those who remain on earth. And it helps them add their own qualities of guidance and assurance as a further aid to the dying or deceased individual.

First, play both parts for yourself. Listen carefully and note your own responses to the spoken words. Try to feel what the words are saying, rather than listening to them on an intellectual level. Then, if there is a person approaching death or who has made the transition, for whom you wish to play the Bardo, you may do so in the following ways:

If the person is receptive to the idea, you may play Part One in his or her presence as death approaches. If not, play Part One in your own privacy after "tuning in" with the individual and mentally or aloud asking him or her to "listen" to the words being spoken. Project thoughts and feelings of love, reassurance and serenity to the departing soul.

Play the Bardo as many times as you wish, but not in the person's presence if it is objectionable to him or her. You may wish to play it when the individual is asleep, whether naturally or from medication, for the consciousness is often very receptive under those conditions. Remember, mentally or verbally ask the individual to listen to the words which will be helpful.

If the person is already deceased, play Part Two. Follow the same tuning-in process given above. Then speak the person's name. Ask him or her to, "Listen to words which will help you find the Light and progress quickly through your present situation. "

Try to make certain your own emotional state is as calm as possible when tuning-in with the person or pet for whom you play the recording. Your own inner state will either limit or reinforce the effectiveness of the recording and its teachings.

You may wish to leave instructions with a family member or friend to play the Bardo for you when passing through your own transition. Your familiarity with it prior to that time will make it all the more effective for you as you enter the Great Adventure. Remember, you are never alone.
