When paramedics arrived, they found no signs of life, and thought him dead, covering him with a tarp as another pastor prayed over him. It is known that many people have survived after spending some time lifeless. That is, not breathing and no brain activity whatsoever. After this experiences, some of them have reported seeing their own body from above, listening to everything going on around them and perceiving a highly pleasurable sensation of fullness, peace and happiness. Others say they saw a tunnel and eventually felt compelled to go across to meet spiritual beings or deceased relatives. Those who have returned have done so because their time of death had not yet come and although the desire to stay there was often intense, these entities convinced them to return to their bodies. The volume of water which thundered down from above held her in place, and no matter what she tried, she couldn’t work herself free. One thing that we've learned about these new findings is that we can't always trust scientific research. That's not to say that we shouldn't rely on what the experts say, but rather, we should use caution in accepting everything as factual. Scientific researchers, just like doctors, can be wrong.

Sometimes when people return from the brink of death, they recall sensations like deja vu or seeing a light, according to recent research. Of those professionals who dedicate themselves to learning about the dying process, some of them choose to study death from a spiritual perspective. They open themselves to learning about death in different cultures and religions. Most thanatologists will spend a lifetime of research and learning about the fascinating subject of life after death. 5. NDEs are not as rare as you might thinkNotice how much of your understanding of life is based on the physical world around you. Are you open to the possibility that, as Einstein postulated, all matter is actually a form of energy? Rather than focusing on the words spoken and what your eyes see, play with feeling the energy of every person you meet and feeling the underlying energetics of your interactions. I told my mom, ‘Mama, I want to die, and go to heaven with Jesus where there is no more pain. I don't want to be in this much pain for the rest of my life,’” she said. “And so I was so committed to just giving up that sometimes whenever I couldn't sleep I'd kinda try and figure out what would happen if I did die. Then I decided, my mom would come with me. My dad would stay and watch my sisters.” Beam was sitting on a tree branch 30 feet in the air when it snapped. She hit her head three times on the fall down and claims she died when she hit the ground. She then found herself in heaven. “It was really bright, and I sat on Jesus’ lap and he told me, ‘Whenever the firefighters get you out, there will be nothing wrong with you,’” Annabel recalled in an interview with Today. “And I asked him if I could stay and he said, ‘No, I have plans you need to fulfill on Earth that you cannot fulfill in heaven.’” We do not promote any particular beliefs, yet we welcome constructive dialogue and sharing of experiences on engaging topics like this. We do feel that the present moment – the eternal sacred now – is the most important place to focus our attention and intention, yet past experiences and future concerns most certainly can have an impact on the here and now. Sleeping more: As the body starts to shut down, the heart doesn't pump as efficiently. This results in less oxygen flow through the body and decreases in the energy needed to stay awake and active.

And for those who are on the fence concerning faith, personal narratives of near-death experiences can be a push in the right direction. These experiences tend to be remarkably consistent in their details—too consistent for even the staunchest materialist to ignore. Below, we’ll highlight the most commonly reported experiences from those who have died and lived to tell the tale. 1. Seeing a white light There’s incredible comfort in this—the reassurance that life doesn’t end after death, that there might be something more, is heartening. It’s wonderful to be reminded that our departed loved ones are waiting for us, and that behind it all, there’s a good and all-loving God just waiting to embrace us. Another common experience for those who face death is feeling like they’re reconnecting with deceased loved ones. Many people describe feeling like they’ve entered a room or space full of loved ones. These individuals might have a message of hope, peace, or love. One final fascinating scientific fact about life after death is that the brain can continue to function for several hours after physical death. This functioning is separate from that of the mind discussed earlier. The brain can continue sending and receiving signals even though there's been a registered physical or clinical death of the body.She awoke to someone giving her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and to a number of broken bones and torn ligaments. The entire way home, however, she felt no pain. In recent years, scientists have discovered new ways of registering what happens to the physical body and the cell function during the precise time of death and in the minutes that follow. These findings contradict much of what we've known about the body's natural death process at the cellular level. 2. We can’t always trust scientific findings But then from that light stepped a figure—God. Jim’s pain ebbed away. His breathing became easier. Thinking that God had come to take him to Heaven, Jim felt a disappointment that he would have to leave his family. All the statements made by Sungur were correct, everything matched with the details of the life of Cicek. Other statements made could not be verified, but he made no misstatement
