This book starts with Dr. Joy Tianyun Wu observing one of her patients dying in a deep coma as a result of morphine application. That incident inspired her to search for answers to the question of Natural Conscious Dying. Dr. Wu's mother played a key role in her understanding of the value of cultural traditions where people gain so much wisdom and experience from life itself and not just from the medical system. Dr. Wu learned about the souls' existence through her life-long immersion in Chinese traditional culture, and story of her mother's childhood experience of "soul calling" tradition. The most inspiring in this book, however, is the story of Dr. Wu's great-grandmother's natural conscious dying. When Dr. Wu's great-grandmother, sensing her time of dying had arrived, refused enticements to eat food, take medicine or get a doctor, she simply told everyone she was ready to go. In addition, she asked people to forgive her if she had mistakenly accused them of misdeeds during her lifetime. Dr. Wu's great-grandmother represented an excellent model of the deep tradition of "good dying". She also represented a revered role model as an elder who had lived a good life. Living a healthy life with the ability to predict our time of transition, and completely accepting it without any resistance, is certainly a healthy life cycle and a good death which all of us need to consider in modern life.In this book, Dr. Wu shares her experiences after observing cases using modern medical system protocols that appeared to create serious suffering for the dying individual and family members. It is something that inspired Dr. Wu to find alternative solutions reaching deep into the knowledge and wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine and cultural traditions. It is these solutions that she brings in her Natural Conscious Dying (NCD) concepts. The book shows you an amazing phenomena happening in these cases that the patients were received acupuncture and moxa at the last a few days or last hours. Dr. Wu gained a deeper level of understanding about the benefits of natural conscious dying for the soul. Here, in this book, she wants to share all of it with you!The Power of Conscious Dying contains very rich information gleaned from life stories, clinical cases, cultural traditions, wisdom, Traditional Chinese Medicine knowledge, and spirituality. Those who care about their soul's journey should take a completely new approach to the inevitable event of dying. And this is exactly what this book is offering to give you!
