The Story

nde childhood abduction very_positive Major Transformation 10/10 Intensity

The experiencer is an American who had a near-death experience (NDE) at age 8 due to an abduction and assault. During the attack, an angel told her it was not her time to die. Later, after being shot, she felt herself leave her body and saw her heart slowing down. She entered a brilliant place where she met two sisters and felt a deep connection. She chose to return to her life because of her newfound family. After the NDE, she felt a strong sense of purpose to sing medicine songs for healing and helping others remember their goodness. This experience transformed her view of life and her role in it.
