Near-Death Experience Opens Woman’s Eyes to The Spiritual Realms | NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
Amanda, a former paramedic, had her near-death experience in 2017 as a passenger in a car on a high mountain road. Another car lost control and entered their lane. They swerved to avoid it, spun out, hit another vehicle, and landed upside down on a guardrail over a steep drop-off. She believed she would die, closed her eyes, and relaxed. Her awareness left her body. She lost hearing and felt lightness without a body, with heightened awareness. She perceived a soft, dark, pillowy space like a bubble. Time slowed. She experienced profound calm, peace, and no tension. She sensed welcoming, familiar beings around her, like a non-judgmental heavenly family, and felt a blissful reunion. She returned to her body unharmed and felt blissed out. After the NDE, she gained a second life. She followed intuitions, ended her 13-year relationship, sold her house, minimized possessions, and traveled in a camper van with her dogs. She moved to Mexico, Tanzania for volunteering, India, and now Bali. She surrendered control, embraced minimalism, got an online job, and wrote a book called 'Surrender.' She became more sensitive to energies and connected with spirit guides.
“calm and I've never on Earth never on and I say felt but I was out of my body”
