The Story
Donna Ribado, a college professor and acupuncturist, had a near-death experience when she drowned on July 17, 1998. During the NDE, she left her body and entered a void with no time. She realized she was dead and felt an immense love from the creator of the universe that penetrated every cell of her being. This love went beyond bliss and made her soul feel cared for completely. She met God, who was loving and relaxed, even when she swore in surprise. She did not want to return but was told to come back. After the NDE, her beliefs about religion, spirituality, and life shattered completely. Her psychic abilities expanded greatly, including precognitive dreams and remote viewing. She now uses these gifts to help find missing people and assist patients in acupuncture. She teaches students to be kinder in thoughts and actions, avoids judging others, and feels ongoing connection to guardians on the other side. She views Earth as a school for evolving consciousness through choices and kindness.
