Who else wants more happiness, health, and life purpose?
What are near-death experiences?
Are there any scientific explanations for NDEs?
Do all near-death experiences have similar elements?
What can we learn from stories of near-death experience?
1) The Light at the End of the Tunnel: Heavenly Encounters
Many stories of near-death experience describe encounters with ethereal beings, often perceived as angels or divine messengers. These encounters provide comfort, guidance, and wisdom, helping the individual navigate the unknown realm they find themselves in.
Another common theme in stories of near-death experience is the presence of a higher power or divine force. Some describe a loving presence, while others sense a guiding force, steering them back toward life, or urging them to complete unfinished business.
The light at the end of the tunnel is an iconic symbol of near-death experiences. Some recount feeling drawn to the light, while others describe a sense of peace and warmth that envelops them as they approach it. This light represents hope, love, and forgiveness for many who experience it.
2) The Inexplicable Connection: Telepathy and Clairvoyance
Some near-death experience stories involve receiving messages from deceased loved ones or other spiritual entities. These messages often convey love, reassurance, or guidance, leaving the individual with a renewed sense of purpose and connection.
Following a near-death experience, some individuals report heightened intuition, psychic abilities, or even clairvoyance. They may develop a keener sense of empathy or a newfound ability to connect with the spiritual world.
Synchronicity, or the occurrence of seemingly unrelated events that form a meaningful pattern, is another common theme in stories of near-death experiences. These uncanny coincidences often reaffirm the belief in a higher power orchestrating the intricate web of life.
3) Life Flashes Before Your Eyes: The Panoramic Life Review
The panoramic life review is a profound element of many near-death experiences, where individuals relive their lives in a matter of moments. This review allows them to confront past choices, see the ripple effects of their actions, and gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of life.
Following a life review, many individuals come away with valuable lessons and insights. They may develop a greater appreciation for the importance of love, compassion, and forgiveness in their lives and carry these lessons with them upon returning to the world of the living.
The life review often provides an opportunity for forgiveness and healing. Individuals may recognize the need to let go of grudges, forgive themselves for past mistakes, and embrace the power of love and understanding.

Anita Moorjani's and Dr. Eben Alexander's published stories of near-death experience recount personal NDEs that profoundly impacted their lives and understanding of the nature of consciousness, reality, and the afterlife. The connections between their two narratives can be found in their shared themes, insights, and transformative experiences.
Both authors experienced life-changing near-death experiences (NDEs) that led them to encounter an otherworldly realm characterized by unconditional love, wisdom, and interconnectedness. These transformative experiences resulted in remarkable healing and new insights about the nature of consciousness, emphasizing its existence beyond physical death. Their shared spiritual lessons from their NDEs focus on love, compassion, and living authentically to achieve a fulfilling life. Following their NDEs, both authors dedicated themselves to sharing their experiences and insights, with Moorjani becoming an inspirational speaker and author, and neurosurgeon Dr. Alexander also becoming an inspirational speaker advocating for research on consciousness and the afterlife.
Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife is a book by Dr. Eben Alexander, a renowned neurosurgeon with near death experience, who shares his extraordinary NDE story. In 2008, Dr. Alexander fell into a coma after contracting a rare and life-threatening form of bacterial meningitis, which led to his brain shutting down. Doctors considered his survival unlikely and doubted he would regain consciousness.
During his seven-day coma, Dr. Alexander claims to have experienced a profound journey into the afterlife. He recounts visiting a realm beyond our physical world, characterized by unconditional love, vibrant colors, and transcendent beings. He interacted with a mysterious guide who communicated with him telepathically, teaching him valuable life lessons.
Despite the damage to his brain, Dr. Alexander miraculously recovered and returned to consciousness with a transformed perspective on life, death, and the nature of consciousness. In Proof of Heaven, he shares his story, blending his scientific background with his personal experience to explore the potential existence of an afterlife and challenge our understanding of the relationship between brain function and consciousness.
Dying to Be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing is a memoir by Anita Moorjani, recounting her extraordinary story of healing and transformation. Anita was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2002 and fought the disease for four years. In February 2006, her body was ravaged by cancer, and she slipped into a coma, with doctors giving her just hours to live.
During her coma, Anita experienced a near-death experience (NDE) in which she encountered a realm of unconditional love and profound wisdom. In this state, she was able to understand the root causes of her illness and realized that her fear and self-rejection had contributed to the development of her cancer. She learned that true healing comes from embracing our authentic selves and recognizing the power of our own inner beings.
Miraculously, within days of her NDE, Anita's cancer began to rapidly recede, and within weeks, she was declared cancer-free. She went on to make a full recovery, and her story has become a testament to the power of the mind-body connection and the possibility of healing through self-love and personal transformation.
In her book, Anita shares her insights about the nature of reality, the importance of self-love, and the role of fear in our lives. Her story serves as an inspiration to readers to embrace their true selves and live fearlessly, unapologetically, and authentically, in order to create a life filled with happiness, health, and purpose.

After literally dying and coming back, Anita viewed the world completely differently. She viewed illness and her body differently; she KNEW she was cured, not simply in remission. And she KNEW it was time to remember her mission and follow her purpose.
“My near death experience was incredible. My life had just been played out before my eyes and I found my life’s mission in helping others walk through life without fear.”
I have always had feelings, an inner knowing that I couldn't explain where it came from but knew it to be true. At the age 30 I had my near death experience when suffering a bout of pneumonia.
Suddenly all my pain melted away, I felt weightless and began to gently spin up and away from my body lying on the floor. This didn't upset me, in fact: I was very happy to know I wasn't going back to my body. I looked around and saw a beautiful white light, down a long tunnel.
I immediately felt drawn towards it, a familiar feeling like I was going home swept over me. I began to move eagerly and faster toward this beautiful light. I reached the light and was surrounded by 13 souls that looked upon me with love and welcome. I was so glad they were there and I remember expressing how much I had missed them.
As I began to look around I was directed to big moving screen. On the screen I began to see the life I had just lived play out before my eyes. I felt everything, including what others had felt because of my actions and behavior. It was so sad for me to realize how many people I had hurt by withholding love from them. I continued to watch as scene after scene played out.
I was literally on my knees crying in pain and feeling so horrible about not loving enough while I was alive. I begged them to not hate me, and told them I did not deserve to be there with them. It was then I was shown more scenes from my life. These scenes showed me the love that flowed freely from me to others. I witnessed and felt each person's feelings of love because of something I said and did for them. I also saw them turn around and spread that love to others and by the time those scenes were over I felt I had redeemed my life. I felt I had a right to be in this most wonderful place.
It was then I was told that I must return here to earth, that I still had much work to do. I didn't want to go. I felt a sadness I thought would damage my very soul and with a heavy heart I returned to my body. As soon as I entered my body, I felt the coldness of it, the pain, and the heavy feeling of being in the body all made me terribly sad and I cried very hard for several days after my near death experience.
It was during my near death experience that the 13 individual souls came to me and started telling me things that would help me achieve the goals that I must achieve, in order to be able to go home. It has taken me years to finally go into business for myself and give people the help they need, without charging too much. I am proud of the mission I have been called upon to do here on earth and I live each day with relish. My psychic readings help my clients to walk through life without fear! That is mission for the rest of this life. To get people to realize that fear is the deceiver. We are spiritual beings that live forever; earth is not our true home.
