“TOUCHED BY THE LIGHT”
BY DR YVONNE KASON MD, MEd

“After a powerful out-of-body and mystical/white light Near-Death Experience in a 1979 medevac plane crash, Dr Kason went on a quest to understand spiritual and paranormal experiences happening to people today. This later propelled her, in 1990, to become the first Canadian medical doctor to specialize in the counselling and research of persons having Near-Death Experiences and other Spiritually Transformative Experiences.

In 1994, Dr Kason originated and coined the phrase “Spiritually Transformative Experiences”(STEs) in her groundbreaking book, “A Farther Shore.” Dr Kason’s latest book, published in 2026, “The Great Awakening,” takes ‘STEs’ even further: https://dryvonnekason.com/.

WHAT ARE SPIRITUALLY TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCES?

“She defined STE as an umbrella term to include diverse spiritual experiences, including:
Mystical Experiences; Kundalini/Spiritual Energy Awakenings; Psychic Experiences of all types; Near-Death Experiences; Other Death-Related STEs; and Inspired Creativity. Dr Kason is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced practitioner in the fields of medicine and Self Transformative Experiences (STEs). On a personal level, Dr Kason has experienced not one but five near-death experiences (NDEs), including two as a child, and has subsequently written six books on STE-related literature.”

Dr Kason is also the president of Spiritually Awakening International, SAI, a global interactive website and resource base for STE experiencers, seekers and explorers to share in a supportive environment their personal experiences in any of the above subjects. I encourage you to join other seekers and experiencers at the SAI monthly global gatherings. Register online? SAI also hosts special guest speaker events, featuring specialist practitioners and others from STE-related fields. You can also access their resource database online to extend your knowledge of STEs and more here: https://spiritualawakeningsinternational.org

Reflection:
Whilst reading ‘Touched By The Light,’ two segments stood out for me:
(1) PP:361-62 Suggested Guidelines to support people who have (or) are experiencing an STE, and
(2) PP:384-390 How To Forgive. I have also attended several of SAI International’s monthly forums.
At the 2024 SAI global conference, it was my privilege to participate in an Australian Conference Panel alongside Paulina, Howfield, Vered Kilstein, and Stephen Chong (author of “Afterlife-A Journey To, and “Afterlife-The Return From”). https://spiritualawakeningsinternational.org/videos/spiritual-awakenings-down-under-stephen-p-chong-paulina-howfield-philip-crouch-vered-kilstein/.
