Atheist Man Who Had Near Death Like Experience That Change His Views And Spirituality [ NDE ]
What Researchers Found
The Story
A 26-year-old woman from the UK, training to be a doctor and working in psychological research, experienced an NDE-like event during self-inquiry meditation in a lucid dream. A spiritual teacher guided her to feel awareness in her hands, realizing its oneness. This caused the dream to collapse. Her spine rotated backward with a loud snap, leading to darkness without body sensation. She saw a distant point of light that grew larger, bringing intense fear of annihilation mixed with bliss. A presence invited her to cross an invisible barrier into the light. She refused, fearing death, but the being gently pushed her through. She entered an ocean of golden light where fear vanished, leaving pure bliss. Concern for her body pulled her back; she awoke drenched in sweat. After this, she recognized it as a Kundalini awakening. Her atheism ended, and she became a spiritual healer and guide. She had out-of-body experiences, met angels, communicated telepathically with beings, and felt connected to nature like trees and rivers. This shifted her view to see all life as interconnected, reducing feelings of disconnection, depression, and anxiety in herself and others she helps.
