The Story

nde cardiac arrest very_positive Moderate Transformation 9/10 Intensity

The experiencer was a kitchen worker who had a heart attack while prepping for the day. During the NDE, he first felt himself above his body in the operating room. He then found himself in a forest made of light, where a fox appeared to guide him. He felt intense love and peace in this realm. The fox led him to an office where he learned he had agreed to return to Earth before being born. He felt the prayers of loved ones and realized the importance of living with good intentions. After agreeing to come back, he experienced darkness and then woke up in the hospital. After the NDE, he felt a new sense of purpose and a desire to share his experience with others.
