A Calling Song to Come Home: Lessons Learned From My Death Experiences with Robin Landsong

The Story
Robin Aisha Lanson was an 8-year-old girl abducted from the U.S. and taken to war-torn Zimbabwe in 1977. Her first NDE occurred when a soldier shot her in the head, causing blood loss. She left her body, traveled through a tunnel, felt held in peace, saw two village women as sisters, rejected a golden sphere to return to her African family, journeyed through a stone stairwell and cave of repressed emotions where a guide showed her self-acceptance, flew in a starry sky, met a being with a changing face who revealed an interconnected matrix of light, and returned after hearing her adoptive mother's song calling ancestors. Her second NDE happened during a village attack when her adoptive mother was shot while carrying her; Robin collapsed from injury. She entered a white landscape, heard a song insisting she live, met a blue-skinned being who taught that destruction enables creation, and was commanded to crawl to safety. After both NDEs, Robin recovered, was returned to her U.S. family, repressed the trauma until age 19, then pursued intensive healing. She became a medicine singer, trauma resolution leader, healer, and artist, devoting her life to helping others resolve trauma, foster self-compassion, and promote social equality.
