The Story

nde accident very_positive Major Transformation 8/10 Intensity

The experiencer was a cell biologist who had a near-death experience (NDE) after being struck on the head by a heavy leaded glass window while vacuuming in 1976. During the NDE, they felt themselves leave their body, traveled through a dark tunnel, and were greeted by their deceased mother and grandmother in a beautiful, peaceful place. They experienced a sense of love and a quiet mind. After the NDE, the experiencer transformed from a scientist into a healer, discovering their ability to assist others with healing energy. They left their lab job and began a new career in healing facilitation, which they have pursued for over 36 years, helping clients worldwide.
