Toddler's Near Death Experience: Choosing to Return
What Researchers Found
The Story
The experiencer was one year old and fell from a playground structure, causing the NDE. During the experience, they felt super-conscious and perceived a bright, warm light. They felt calm and loved, and they understood they had died. They saw a preview of their life and had a choice to enter the light or return to life. They chose to return and then observed their father and a family friend approaching. Afterward, they faded back into toddler consciousness. The experiencer later confirmed the event with their mother. This memory shaped their understanding of life and death, leading them to believe in reincarnation for many years.
“or just didn't exist. I felt that the light was protecting me and nothing could ever reach me or harm me in its presence. I felt super calm and loved. It wasn't like the love between”
