The Story

ndemedical crisispositiveMajor Transformation⭐ 8/10 Intensity

Sylvia Pollock had a near-death experience in 2016 due to complications from medication for her endometriosis. During the experience, she saw a flash of light and met her deceased sister-in-law and father-in-law. They told her they were worried about her and explained that her negative thoughts had lowered her vibration, making it hard for them to reach her. They encouraged her to keep her heart open and focus on love. After the experience, Sylvia's life changed significantly. She stopped experiencing trauma and negativity. She became more positive and was able to conceive a child, which doctors had said was impossible. She now feels guided and connected to her loved ones and is not afraid of death.
