What Researchers Found
The Story
Wendy Harrington, a 30-year-old woman in 2001, had a near-death experience after giving birth to her premature daughter via emergency cesarean section. She developed necrotizing fasciitis, a flesh-eating disease, which required removal of her womb, ovaries, and much of her torso flesh to save her life. Doctors put her into a medical coma for 10 days. During the coma, Wendy realized she was not her body and felt the same self she had known at ages five, fifteen, and twenty-five. She was drawn to a profound light filled with peace, love, and bliss. She tried to pull her husband toward it but stopped when she heard a telepathic message: 'If you come, you must come on your own.' Not wanting to leave him, she returned to her body. After waking, Wendy faced physical and emotional recovery. She explored spirituality through Tai Chi, Chi Kung, and psychology studies. She experienced automatic writing and created a four-step emotional processing method to handle negative self-talk and fear. Her marriage ended, but she gained heightened sensitivity, wrote books, and now helps others awaken to unconditional love and live with purpose.
