Erin Q NDE

Experience Description

The panic of being suffocated was too much, so I exploded into darkness. I was calm as I left my body.

Then I was put into a circular and dark, deep life review while in a fast-moving tunnel. I left my body going to the real-south in direction. Yet, I could only look to the east in the tunnel. I knew this was important and so I only looked east. It was circular and dark, except for the left side wall that was actual east. I went through the tunnel facing sideways.

At first, flashes of my whole life happened very fast at like warp speed. I couldn’t see or process anything, but distinctly knew this was my life review. I saw s flash, flash, flash of images without words. I felt calm. Then the flashes slowed down to where I saw all my close family, friends, and those I love. I was surrounded by love.

I didn't know anyone well who had passed away. I saw no relatives or spirit guides, but I think they could have been there.

Then I was launched warp-speed out of the dark tunnel. I fell out of the tunnel, hundreds of feet in the sky. I was a flying spirit/soul, without a body. I felt pure bliss. I was in nature, and flying up the valley. The mountains and nature were so beautiful. I saw colors and felt love on a much bigger scale than what we can on earth.

While flying, I looked down and saw a small female child who was running down the mountain, away from me. In a split second, I knew she was my child. She was from the future and I needed to go back to my body. There was no question about my decision. Suddenly, my soul flew backwards out of where she was in the beautiful mountains. I was launched through the tunnel at warp-speed in the darkness. Finally, without feeling anything, I came back into my body.

I got up fought him off me a few more times and ran for my life. I never went back.

I have no fear of death and the spirit world. The little girl in my experience became my child 8 years in the future. I totally believe in incarnation and other associated elements.

I am writing this at age 47 and my experience occurred at age 25.
