Shauna's Rating: Priceless and Life-Changing

I have a crazy story to tell you. My brother-in-law, who is fascinated by near-death experiences (NDEs), recently attended a seminar. A man named Vinnie Tolman was sharing his absolutely shocking, heavily documented story of being dead for 45 minutes and coming back to life.

While Vinnie was on the other side, he was guided by an angel who taught him 10 steps to living a life with more joy—a message that beautifully crosses and embraces all religions.

My brother-in-law came home bursting with excitement. He said to my sister, "The crazy thing is, he found out his angel guide is from Star Valley, Wyoming. Aren't all your ancestors from Star Valley?"

My Great-Great-Grandpa

My sister answered yes, and asked what the angel guide's name was.

He replied: "Charles Drake Cazier."

📖 Traveler's Tale: Chills

Charles Drake Cazier is my Great-Great-Grandpa.

Chills. I know.

I learned from our family history that during his life, he was a leader in local government and was highly, highly adored by his community. So many people left records speaking of his incredibly kind heart and the deep respect they had for him. To know this wise, compassionate man is the one guiding people toward joy from the other side is overwhelming.

My Great-Great-Grandpa, Charles Drake Cazier

I immediately became obsessed with reading Vinnie's book, "The Light After Death," learning all I could from my cool great-great-grandpa delivering advice from the other side.

As I continued creating my VR Getaway videos, I felt like Grandpa Charles was connecting the dots in my head. I started seeing how the beauty of nature and the immersive experiences I was filming perfectly paralleled one of his ten steps. When I finished gathering my collection, I was shocked to realize I had naturally created a video for almost every single step.

The Golden Nugget 🌟

Transform Your Perspective: Instead of just watching these videos, reflect on how each VR Getaway personally connects to the Step to Joy it represents. Let the natural beauty be a catalyst for introspection and a guide to integrating these powerful principles into your own life.

The 10 Steps & My VR Getaways

Here are the 10 Steps to Living a Life With More Joy, as taught by Angel Drake, paired with the VR videos that beautifully illustrate their principles.

1. Be Authentic

Embrace your true self, just as nature offers its unfiltered beauty. This video of serene reflections reminds us to be clear and genuine.

2. The Purpose Of Life

Finding your life's purpose brings immense joy. This video shares my personal journey to discovering my passion, just as we each have a unique path to follow.

3. Love Everyone

Open your heart as wide as these expansive vista views. Loving everyone, even when challenging, brings profound light into our lives, a light we all crave.

Just as we seek light in nature, our souls crave the light that comes from universal love. This video reminds us to embrace and share that light.

4. Listen To Your Inner Voice

Like the protagonist in "The Alchemist," we are guided by our personal legend. Learning to trust that inner knowing is a crucial step towards joy.

5. Use Technology Responsibly

Medical studies show that being in nature releases powerful chemicals in our bodies tied to happiness and peace. Amazingly, using a VR headset to immerse yourself in nature actually tricks the brain into releasing those same healing chemicals! This is the ultimate example of using technology responsibly: creating a sanctuary to slow down your brain and experience true awe when physical limitations, weather, or life keep you indoors.

"Do you ever feel the need to just... stop. To let the world fall away? Come here. Find a quiet place with me."

6. Release Prejudice

Just as diverse flowers bloom together in harmony, releasing our prejudices allows us to appreciate the unique beauty in every person and every landscape.

These natural arches remind us that acceptance opens us to new perspectives, revealing the artistry in differences and allowing us to see the world with greater clarity.

7. The Power Of Creation

Witnessing the raw power of creation in these geological wonders inspires us to tap into our own creative potential. We are all creators, and embracing this power brings joy.

8. Avoid Negative Influences

In "Whispers of the Ancients," we travel through treacherous canyons where "shadows danced and whispered doubts." Avoiding negative influences is about recognizing those shadows and choosing instead to focus on your inner guiding star. When the noise of the world gets too loud, nature and ancestral wisdom offer a beacon of hope to pull us away from negativity.

9. The Purpose of Evil

This profound concept is best explored in "The Alchemist" video (see Step 4), which delves into how challenges, obstacles, and perceived "evil" can ultimately serve a purpose in our growth. Like the mountain trail that forces us downward before we can reach the summit, our hardest trials often teach us the exact lessons we need to fulfill our purpose.

10. We are All One

Recognizing that we are all interconnected—part of a larger, divine tapestry—fosters profound joy and understanding. This video beautifully illustrates our shared connection with all of nature through the interconnected roots of the giant Sequoias.

My Personal Addition: Be Present 🌟

True joy often comes from simply being present—fully immersed in the beauty and peace of the moment, just like in this tranquil VR getaway.

Tuning to the Right Frequency

If there is one profound piece of peace I took away from reading The Light After Death, it is the absolute realization of how hard the "other side" REALLY wants us to succeed. There is help upon help waiting for us, both on this earth and beyond.

It is just about tuning ourselves to the right frequency to receive that inspiration. I felt it over and over while working on this set of videos. I’ve felt it in my math teaching during dark times when I wanted to give up—I begged for help, and I received piece after piece until my lessons became deeply engaging and successful. I’ve felt it when struggling with relationships, receiving the unseen comfort needed to navigate difficult paths.

I could go on and on, but I know without a doubt from so many experiences that there is help out there. It wants to help and send blessings; we just need to tune in and ask. I would love to hear how these steps impact your life and how you tune into your own guiding light.
