"How do I want to die?" is a hard question, a question most of us didn't think we'd be asking ourselves. Nevertheless, here we are, and it is a good question.
For most of us, the answer is probably simple. When we die, we want to be present, all our senses ready for whatever is going to happen next.
So it seems best to begin practicing right now. We can try to be present in each moment, all senses working in the now.
It takes practice. Many of us know how to go through life part dead, numbed by alcohol, other drugs, sugar, worry, fear. That's all we knew. But now we have a choice. We can choose to live fully present, crispy alive. We can choose to be living, not numb.
Please help me be present, fully alive, vibrant, and awake

Very good post, thank you. I have practiced this for years and it does work. It takes alot of effort to be present to the moment but worth it. When I die, I want to die the way God sees fit for me to die. I have no questions about it or fears about it. I just dont think about it much. Hugs

I want to die in my sleep too. I am always fearful of being killed in a car wreck...watch, that is the way I will probably go...that would suck!!
