She Met a Council of Beings in Her Near Death Experience | Shawna Ristic Near Death Experience Pt. 1
What Researchers Found
The Story
Shauna Rustic was a 19-year-old woman when a car accident on Christmas Day 1993 caused her near-death experience. She swerved to avoid another car, her vehicle flipped, and she was thrown out, leading to a month-long coma with severe injuries including broken ribs, a punctured lung, cracked pelvis, and head trauma. During the NDE, she left her body and viewed it from above, trying to re-enter. She awoke in a bright white room where six tall, light-filled beings lifted her and surrounded her with warmth and unconditional love like family. She experienced a life review, feeling the impact of her actions on others. The beings showed her mission to help people, the interconnectedness of all things, and future possibilities. Twelve beings debated her return; she chose to come back after seeing her family's suffering in the hospital. After the NDE, Shauna recovered miraculously in four weeks. She realized her purpose to heal others and guide them to love. She trained as a massage therapist, developed intuitive abilities, and now offers in-person and distance healing sessions worldwide, along with workshops on intuition.
