Stephen Levine

This video is a special release from the original Thinking Allowed series that ran on public television from 1986 until 2002. It was recorded in about 1994. It will remain public for only one week. 

Poet and meditation teacher Stephen Levine was author of Healing into Life and Death, Who Dies?, Meetings at the Edge, A Gradual Awakening, and Grist for the Mill (coauthored with Ram Dass).

Conscious living and conscious dying require that we bring our pain into our hearts, rather than wall ourselves off from it. In this moving and personal two-part program, the late Stephen Levine illustrates this point by referring to several cases of dying individuals with whom he has worked. He also discusses the use of imagery in healing, maintaining that each individual should choose imagery consistent with their own sensibility. He leads a brief meditation exercise designed to bring the full scope of living into awareness.
