Elisângela was a 7-year-old girl who experienced a near-death experience while swimming in a river in São Paulo. She wanted to join others in deeper water and ended up submerged. During her NDE, she felt calm and saw a beautiful orange-yellow light that brought her peace. She sensed a telepathic communication telling her she had to return. After being pulled from the water by a teenager, she smiled and felt fine. Later in life, she realized this was a near-death experience when she heard similar stories. The experience gave her a sense of connection to a protective voice that guides her in life, leading to a deeper understanding of love and spirituality.
