The Story

nde medical crisis very_positive Significant Transformation 8/10 Intensity

Élcio is an entrepreneur who experienced a near-death experience (NDE) at 18 or 19 years old due to a feeling of tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing. He prayed sincerely for help and then saw a large, translucent hand that touched his chest. He felt a pressure and noticed a bad feeling being sucked out of him. After the experience, he felt healed and free of pain. This event transformed Élcio's life, giving him a strong belief in God and a sense of purpose. He later had two more significant experiences where he felt guided to help others, reinforcing his faith and connection to a higher power.

after that day ... after that have happened in my life ... I now see life in a different way ... I think everything has a purpose in our lives ... that God really exists ...
