The Story

nde overdose positive Major Transformation 8/10 Intensity

The person struggled with addiction and experienced an accidental overdose, which triggered the near-death experience (NDE). During the NDE, they felt their heart stop and experienced a wave of detachment from their body. They floated above themselves, felt a sense of peace, and entered a place they described as home, filled with love and knowledge. They were given a choice to stay or return to life. They chose to return, feeling grateful for life. After the NDE, they had a renewed zest for life but struggled with finding purpose. They began a personal healing journey, trained as a healer, and now help others through their experiences.

I've never felt that at home in my life ever in any place that I've ever been.
