The Story

ndenear drowningpositiveModerate Transformation⭐ 7/10 Intensity

The experiencer was a child who nearly drowned at a community swimming pool. She jumped into the water and lost control, spinning and taking in water. At the bottom, she felt relief and saw a vivid nativity scene with Mary, who smiled at her. She felt loved and wanted to approach Mary but was suddenly pulled out of the water. Afterward, her father was angry and upset, while her sister asked if she was scared. The experiencer later learned she had not been breathing and had been resuscitated. This realization changed her understanding of the event. She felt that children do not suffer when they die and believed that we do not die but move on, keeping our personalities intact.

and felt so relieved that the spinning had  stopped. I felt really good and totally in control of my movements, and I was able to swim  now, didn't think at all about breathing.

The account primarily describes the experiencer's feelings and perceptions during a near-drowning incident without providing specific verifiable perceptions of the physical world. The only claim of seeing a nativity scene lacks detail and verification, leading to a low score on the cvNDE scale.
