Kienda Betrue Valbracht: Lucid Death
What Researchers Found
The Story
Kianda Bitru Valbrocht had a near-death experience at birth due to complications. She was dying until a nurse noticed and helped her. In her 40s, during peer counseling, she recalled the event clearly. She journeyed into the spiritual world and then returned to her body. This memory explained her childhood ability to see elementals and fairies, and her early interest in spirituality. Later, the deaths of her father, brother, and infant son Christian to sudden infant death syndrome in 1982 pushed her to study death and the afterlife. She became a clinical hypnotherapist specializing in past life, death, and rebirth sessions. She wrote the book Lucid Death: Conscious Journeys Beyond the Threshold. She developed practices to explore spiritual realms and communicated with her deceased son.
