S4E31 - Encore - Carlos Pomeda on Death, Meditation, and the Journey of the Soul

In this Encore episode of the Dying Your Way podcast, Claire O’Berry reconnects with Carlos Pomeda, a yoga teacher and practitioner of more than 40 years, and a scholar of Sanskrit and religious studies.

This conversation is personal for Claire. In 2004, she and her mother took a course taught by Carlos called Karma, Death, and Dying, before her mother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. That teaching became a steady foundation through years of caregiving, and now, sixteen years later, the conversation continues.

Together, they explore how cultural denial shapes our relationship with death, why acceptance can ease emotional suffering, and how meditation supports a shift from body-based identity toward inner awareness. Carlos also shares his perspective on karma, prana (vital energy), ritual, and “unfinished business,” along with research threads that many find compelling, including near-death experiences, hospice visions, and children’s reports of past-life memory.

This is a thoughtful, grounding episode for anyone facing illness, grief, caregiving, or the simple human question of how to die well.
