The Story

nde childbirth mixed Moderate Transformation 8/10 Intensity

Andréa is a teacher from São Paulo. She experienced an NDE after fainting in the hospital following a difficult birth. During her NDE, she felt herself leave her body and saw a bright light. She entered an elevator where a woman in white told her it was not her time. She then found herself in a brightly lit room with flowers and a coffin. The woman instructed her to return to her body. After the NDE, Andréa felt a new sense of purpose and sought knowledge about life and death. She no longer feared death and believed she had been prepared for her loss.

“her light emanated from her. The light was hers, just like the light from the windows in the room; everything reflected light, and the light came from her. And what did you feel when you looked at her? Calm, serene, serene, totally serene.”
