The Story

nde surgery very_positive Significant Transformation 9/10 Intensity

The person was a model in her early 30s and had an accident that led to a knee surgery. During the surgery, she experienced an NDE. She left her body and observed the medical team working on her. She then floated into a dark space, feeling fear. She searched for light and found a bright, iridescent white light that felt loving and protective. She encountered two rows of monks, which represented safety for her. One monk told her it was not her time and that she must return because she had a child. After the experience, she felt a sense of belonging and comfort. The NDE changed her perspective on life and death, leading her to believe that death is a beautiful adventure and should not be feared.

home to self, and I felt that in this, in this moment, and as this white is totally surrounding me, I'm now floating
