The near death experience was in hospital. I think it was the first day it happened when I was hospital in emergency. I had been put in a bath then I was laid on sheets.  I remember this, as they moved me off them and the sheets stuck to my skin causing great pain.  I remember feeling the burning heat but freezing cold of my legs which were not burnt.  The experience I had was once.  I was in a tunnel of light, and I felt like I was being made to come back to consciousness, this world, and I was not happy about it.  I came back too, to extreme pain and months of this to follow.  I was in a tunnel with bright light.  I was safe and comfortable there not in my body.

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness?    when I was moving through the tunnel to come back.

How did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compare to your normal everyday consciousness and alertness?      Normal consciousness and alertness   It just seemed normal to me. I was 8 so it "just was"

very rarely but its happened a few times.  Once was about a woman who was in a relationship for a man that beat her.  I used to flat with them for a short time 6 weeks.  I moved out, and I cant remember how long after maybe weeks or a month, I awoke at night to the same bright light from the tunnel but terrified of this ball or entity.  I was too scared to get up out of my bed.   I went to visit this woman, the partner answered the door and said she was sick, I was pushy and got my way into the house, and she was in the bedroom beaten head to toe, but would not leave him.  I offered to rent a trailer to get her out, move her but she said she loved him.  I could never go back.  Didn't ever see her again.  I was 20 years of age.  The other two experiences were around the same year.

During your experience, did you encounter any specific information / awareness suggesting that there either is (or is not) continued existence after earthly life (�life after death�)?   Yes   Just a feeling I was left with, and it did not frighten me at all.

During your experience, did you encounter any specific information / awareness that you either did (or did not) exist prior to this lifetime?   Yes   Yes but not until I was 29 years of age.  I grew up around addiction and had very low self esteem about all my scars.  I lost my left breast and nipple.  Along with a lot of skin.  At the time it happened I never told anyone as it was at the beginning of 6 months of utter pain in hospital, drugged, operations to change bandages and then skin grafts from legs.  I had to learn to walk twice.  So that was just how it was.  At 29 I got into therapy with a Gestalt Psychotherapist, and it was only going back to things like this, that it came back to me.  I started doing Yoga and Meditation and then was like, Oh I can do this easily I can get myself out of my body that's easy.  After the NDE I was in intensive care. I used to count the tiles on the ceiling to avoid the pain in my body.  I have heard other victims of trauma do the same thing.

How accurately do you remember the experience in comparison to other life events that occurred around the time of the experience?   I remember the experience as accurately as other life events that occurred around the time of the ex  

Discuss any changes that might have occurred in your life after your experience:   I just want to say that age 8 I was made to go to church but I was at an age I did as I was told.  I was exposed to religion and church but at 8 I did not have "beliefs" these are adult concepts.  I just watched Heaven is Real the movie, which made me look for something like this, as I am more and more spiritual with age.

My experience directly resulted in:   Large changes in my life

Did you have any changes in your values or beliefs after the experience that occurred as a result of the experience?   No  

Do you have any psychic, non-ordinary or other special gifts after your experience that you did not have before the experience?   Uncertain   I have answered this.  When I was young I could sense a lot and was scared of the dark.  But nothing more.  I became a drug and alcohol user age 13-29.  So 5 years after my accident.  I stopped went to therapy then unraveled my past, including that trauma, and have had a few physic experiences but mostly instinctive and with PTSD left over from the trauma hyper sensitive, hyper vigilant.

Are there one or several parts of your experience that are especially meaningful or significant to you?     Just that it made my life very very hard the burns, the fact I had the NDE was tiny part of it.  It meant nothing to me until I was older.

Have you ever shared this experience with others?   Yes  Just my therapist at 29 years of age.  A couple of people I've met now as Massage Therapist whom have had major trauma themselves i.e. car accident.

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience?   No  

What did you believe about the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened:   Experience was definitely real   Just was.  IT was what happened I never thought about it, afterwards I was in too much pain for a very long time.

What do you believe about the reality of your experience at the current time:   Experience was definitely real   I think it was from the third eye or between the eyes channel.  It was an experience probably out of body, to avoid the pain and trauma maybe unconscious, and I was 'made to come back' I did not want.  IT was very simple.

Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your experience?   Yes   I always feel like I live a foot in this world and one in the next.  So that makes me harder to live with.  I have a very loving man now.  I am very lucky!

Have your religious beliefs/spiritual practices changed specifically as a result of your experience?   Yes   I do not live life as it its for ever.  I am acutely aware that a point we die.  We don't have control of that. Life's not a dress rehearsal. I am not money focused, (lucky my partner is) and I am not interested in material things.  Life to me is about evolving into a more compassionate human being.  Learning to grow and be as kind and generous as possible.  Help where possible.

At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience?   Yes   Only meditation.  But nothing as bright as that light or as I was way down that tunnel!

Is there anything else that you would like to add about your experience?   Just good to be able to discuss it! At 45 I am more and more interested in supporting others and helping to be a supportive person, and to be positive.

Did the questions asked and information that you provided accurately and comprehensively describe your experience?   No   Just they are adult questions, not questions for children, but I feel like you will get that.
