Karen Michelle - Living Between Realms as a Young Child
What Researchers Found
The Story
The person was a child aged three to five who had multiple near-death experiences. One occurred in the hospital after receiving blows to the body that caused severe pain. Others happened spontaneously during relaxation or sleep. During the experiences, a friendly being appeared as a child to guide her to other realms. She felt free, loved, and pain-free. In the hospital NDE, two beings, one like a second mother, took her on a journey filled with beauty and acceptance. They showed her a harp as a way to communicate with them. After the NDEs, she longed to return to that realm and pursued playing the harp to connect spiritually. She heard beautiful music at night. However, sharing her experiences led to rejection by friends' parents, who saw them as demonic, making her feel like an outcast and causing isolation.
