We talk with Dannion Brinkley back in 2007. Here’s what we posted from his website then in 2007: From Dannion’s website, www.dannion.com
Dannion Brinkley is an international best selling author. In 1994 Dannion’s first book (with Paul Perry), Saved by the Light became an instant success. It was closely followed by his next best seller, At Peace in the Light, in 1996. He has recently written the third installment of his Light Trilogy drawing from his personal voyage and near-death encounters entitled, The Secrets of the Light: Spritual Strategies to Empower Your Life…Here and in the Hereafter (Heart Light Productions). This eloquent and highly inspirational book is an intuitively profound manual focused on spiritual strategies to empower life on both sides of the veil.
Co-authored by Dannion’s wife, Kathryn Brinkley, The Secrets of the Light shares 7 powerful truths that will compel you to re-evaluate your current belief system in order to assist you in connecting to higher awareness. As a result, true understanding evolves into self-realization, and ultimately, spiritual enfoldment is accelerated. This holistic guidebook introduces the Four-Fold Path to Power, and shares the system that you may have not previously considered as a truly effective means to raise one’s consciousness and its relationship with humankind. Inspiring and thought-provoking, The Secrets of the Light offers insights for practical application as well as a key to understanding the big picture.
In his lectures and tours, Dannion imparts a paramount message designed to empower his listeners, teaching them step by step how to find purpose, power and greatness in their everyday lives. He has been praised as ‘the best orator in the field’ by many of his compeers on the lecture circuit. Dannion’s speaking engagements lend a vibrancy and colorful approach to the world as we know it, and are highlighted with a savvy sense of humor and genuine style. The Secrets of the Light lecture series offer a candid, celebratory approach to the spiritual dynamic.
Dannion’s previous works, Saved By The Light and At Peace In The Light, have sold millions worldwide, garnering international acclaim in addition to being a New York Times best seller. His books, tours and workshops have literally transformed the consciousness of audiences on a global capacity.
Dannion’s expertise in the area of death and dying has educated millions not to fear the presently held concept of transition from this world to the next. As a result of his journeys to the ‘other side’ and back again, he brings to the forefront the wondrous truth that there is indeed no such thing as death.
Dannion has survived insurmountable odds including two lightning strikes, open-heart surgery, brain surgery and a massive grand mal seizure. Many concur that Mr. Brinkley is a truly one of the world’s most incredible near-dear survivors, truly a “walking miracle”!
In related issues surrounding the death process, Brinkley is one of the early crusaders of hospice and palliative care bringing the topic of end of life care to the forefront of discussion and education in America. Dannion created a non-profit organization, The Twilight Brigade (Compassion in action) to recruit hospice volunteers for dying Veterans. He has been a hospice volunteer for over twenty-seven years, having personally accrued more than 18,000 hours at the bedside. These decades of tremendous hands-on experience qualify him as a leading expert in the grief and bereavement process as well as being an authority in the field of necrophobic reduction.
In 2001, Dannion was nominated for the National Hospice and Palliative Care Association’s prestigious Heart of Hospice Award. Dannion was also a contributor in the story compilation of Chicken Soup for the Veteran’s Soul. His input was used to improve awareness of the honor of veteran service. Compassion in Action / The Twilight Brigade was featured in the December 2000 issue of The Oprah Magazine segment on Volunteerism. In 2004, Dannion provided testimony, “Describing Death in America” to the National Cancer Advisory Board of the Institute of Medicine and presented comment to the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medical Policy, on “Improving End of Life care with Complementary and Alternative Medicines” and “You Cannot Drug A Child to Safety: Ways of Reducing Stress in America.”
Dannion has appeared on every major national television and radio show, including Larry King, Oprah, Dateline, Unsolved Mysteries, Art Bell, The Pax Network, and many others. A made for television movie based on Dannion’s best seller, Saved By The Light, debuted as one of the highest rated television movies in FOX Television Network history. This exceptional movie starring Eric Roberts is currently airing on a regular basis on the Lifetime Network.
