Near Death: Embracing The Experience

When I first arrived in Tucson, I attended a presentation by a highly respected pastor who was speaking on the topic of near-death experiences (NDE), which I was familiar with but hadn’t spent much time studying. I was surprised when the pastor concluded the talk, as he revealed he had never undergone an actual NDE. I almost laughed out loud. This man had spent years studying how other people faced this phenomenon. As I was working on my second book, “When the Birds Stopped Singing,” I decided to add an NDE for the main character as a teaching opportunity.

 To help make it realistic, I used my own NDE in the story. When I was 8, I contracted pneumonia and spinal meningitis. My pediatrician had missed it so many times that by the time I was admitted to the hospital, I was dying. While the doctors pumped me full of antibiotics, I watched the side of the room as it was like a white curtain with a slight breeze, and bodies were moving behind it. I could have easily slipped behind the curtain and moved into the light. But I was not being called over. It was not yet my time. It wasn’t until I began training in shamanism and discussed this NDE with my teacher that I truly understood what happened to me.

 Typically, an NDE will permanently open you to the spirit world and enable you to work as a medium. Spirits can see your ability to communicate and will seek you out. That’s why shielding is so important, which I also demonstrate in “When the Birds Stopped Singing.”

 If you have experienced an NDE or are having unwanted interactions with the spirit world, feel free to post a message here or on my website. You can also purchase my book to see if it helps you manage this unique gift better.
