The Story

nde medical crisis very_positive Major Transformation 9/10 Intensity

Nikesha Burell had a near-death experience (NDE) caused by a lack of air while in the shower. During the NDE, she felt a sense of peace and entered a white space where she saw her deceased grandmother and light orbs, which she identified as angels. She received insights about life, death, and the impact of human choices. Nikesha learned about the ripples of kindness and unkindness created by people's actions. She also saw a crystal city and was stopped from entering it by her grandmother. After the experience, Nikesha felt a deep connection to God and recognized that consciousness exists within everyone. This NDE transformed her perspective on life, leading her to embrace love and purpose more fully.

“But I guess the easiest way for me to say it, it felt like you ever got to high school reunion, that's what it felt like. It felt like coming back and everyone haven't seen you in years. I was like, "Oh my gosh." And everyone that I would have a connection with, it would feel as if there was a earth”
