The Story

nde medical crisis very_positive Significant Transformation 9/10 Intensity

Michael Foreman experienced eight near-death experiences in one day due to a heart issue. He began feeling light-headed and called 911 while parked in a Target lot. After entering the ambulance, he left his body and observed himself. He saw a greenish scene and then traveled to a valley with a stream, where he felt free of his anxiety and OCD. He then entered a void, which felt like a place of love and acceptance. He had a life review, witnessing the impact of his actions, especially regarding bullying. After being revived, he felt a sense of guilt for surviving when another patient did not. After the NDE, he gained a new perspective on life and a desire to share his experiences with others.

but I never gave it a name. I never really It was just kind of an energy
