About this listen
A groundbreaking true story beyond the boundary of death, a debut memoir featuring a striking experience in consciousness expansion.
When her Hawaiian lover communicates to her on her laptop after his death, everything changes for Christel, a Dutch retreat guide in Hawaii. To her amazement, she can communicate back to him. She invites him to choose for life and astounding doctors see him come back to life. This was just the beginning.
Forty-nine Days describes a deeply visceral experience in which she as an intuitive can feel, sense and hear the realms her Hawaiian lover is going through. Conversely, he can precisely describe events in her reality on her laptop screen. Together they travel "Bardo" the 49 days following death as described by the Tibetans. Against all the odds and defying medical science, doctors witness him coming back not once but several times.
In a compelling and revolutionary way, Forty-Nine Days sheds a whole new light on death and dying. With raw and brutal honesty Christel faces questions like: is this the future of our digital era? What are our souls and our bodies capable of?
What is truly going on in a world in which we only believe what we see?

Story
Henri Skinner is a hardened ex-war reporter on the run from his past. On his way to see his son, Sam, for the first time in years, Henri steps into the road without looking and collides with oncoming traffic. He is rushed to a nearby hospital, where he floats, comatose, between dreams, reliving the fairy tales of his childhood and the secrets that made him run away in the first place. After the accident, Sam - a 13-year-old synesthete with an IQ of 144 and an appetite for science fiction - waits by his father’s bedside every day.

Today, our bodies define us. We color our hair; tattoo our skin; pierce our ears, brows, noses. We lift weights, run miles, break records. We are flesh and blood and bone. Tomorrow has different rules. The future is no longer about who we are - it's about who we want to be. If you can dream it, you can be it. Science will make us smarter, healthier, flawless in every way. Our future is boundless. This is a story that begins tomorrow. It's a story about us. It's a story about who comes after us. And it's a story about perfection. Because perfection has a way of getting ugly.

Legend has it that it is abandoned by all living souls, but to Clara’s great surprise, it is not a ghost she hears through the stone wall surrounding the property, but a flesh and blood man: a scarred stranger with a pain deeper and darker than the churning waters of the Mississippi river that flows beside his self-imposed prison.

Story
An extraordinary debut novel, Freshwater explores the surreal experience of having a fractured self. It centers around a young Nigerian woman, Ada, who develops separate selves within her as a result of being born "with one foot on the other side". Unsettling, heart-wrenching, dark, and powerful, Freshwater is a sharp evocation of a rare way of experiencing the world, one that illuminates how we all construct our identities. Ada begins her life in the south of Nigeria as a troubled baby and a source of deep concern to her family.

Mysterious, intriguing and wonderful book
This marvelous and very intriguing book is, as the title says: "a sensuous journey" of the soul between life on earth and the “after life” and the energetic communication between the two.
Communication between two souls with bodies that feel irresistibly attracted to each other. The story caught my complete attention, because while being absorbed by the book I kept wondering “is this real or beyond reality. After alternating between belief and doubt, I finally realized that there are infinite possibilities, far more than I can ever imagine.
We may start to believe the share endless possibilities only when we accidentally run into them. I like the idea that our bodies “are” condensed energy that can change their form.
Having read the book, I can somehow imagine that in future our brains may be hacked by computers

Extraordinary true story that goes beyond our imagination
From My own experience I know that sometimes real life story's are harder to believe than the story's we make up. This true story is is definitely a wonderful story that needs to be told! You have to make sure you do have the time because once you start to read or listen you want to finish the whole book at once. While reading it I noticed energies were floating trough my body. I can't exactly give them a name but there was absolutely something going on, and it felt very good. What the story is about you have to find out for yourself, I can only tell you that it is a remarkable story about souls and energy that goes beyond our 'normal' earthly lives. Read or listen to find out in what way you will be touched by it!

Hauntingly beautiful, mind blowing
From the first moment the author grabbed me and in an open innocent way pulled me in this magical world at the same time very real. Listening to it becomes a very sensory experience. She describes with her sensitivities, states that are beyond our common perception with a groundedness that makes it very believable. I will forever look with different eyes.
I liked to learn more about Hawaii and it's mysteries and hear about where she came from: her birthground Holland. It seemed like the metaforical journey from Holland to Hawaii from a conventional life to an exotic life beyond boundaries is felt throughput the story. An amazing debut memoir leaving me in awe and giving me a whole new perspective on life and death and dying.
Her voice with a slight Dutch accent is very pleasant.

Mindblowing and seductive....
What a great and almost unbelievable story! Set in spiritual Hawaii, mindblowing experiences not every one encounters in his life, beautifully told by the author herself, which creates an extra dimension in the audible book. She really pulls you into the story with lively energy. I enjoyed every word of it!!

This book will blow your hair back
Christel is a very pure soul with great abilities. What she descirbes in her book 'Forty-Nine Days', is nothing short of astonishing. Not everybody could have lived through that and not go mad. Not only is the story incredible, but she continues on her journey and wrote her experiences in this book. It is very pleasant to read, a real page-turner. It caught me from the first page and didn't let me go until the end. It lifted me. As if I was on this journey with her, feeling the new coding enter in my body and awareness.
This book will help you get ready for the new times to come; for the new world!
Thank you Christel for your perseverance and for sharing your amazing experiences with us.
