Giselle L NDE

Experience Description

I remember a police officer slapping me across the face, telling me to wake up. I could not keep my eyes open, let alone move. Then I was moving down a hall, which I assumed was part of the hospital's emergency room corridors. I was being pushed by four people. One person was the doctor, and another one I remember saying distinctly, 'Her pupils are dilated.'

I then found myself floating in a void. It was neither dark nor light. It was just nothingness. I was lying on my back, looking up, floating. No thoughts. No Emotions. Within me was complete emptiness; I seemed to be completely free. I have a hard time finding words to describe this experience. For example, I don't know if this sense of weightlessness within would be called a 'feeling' or what. It was just peace. There is nothing in my experience that I could compare to this. I floated into the light and then I found myself standing. Two figures of energy, no form, no outline, came toward me. No sound, no language. One telepathically told me, 'It's not your time', and it stretched a part of itself out to a point where there was a tunnel. This tunnel was amazing. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It was alive. It was energy, and its color was bright blue! A living framework, geometrically perfect lines, synchronized, moving lines that spun inside each other. So beautiful! I zipped through it and ended up in the void again, where I found myself staring through a square-shaped hole. I was staring at myself while the doctor and nurses were trying to revive me. I was pulled back into my body, and began to hear everyone around me. I was looking at them, even though my eyes were closed. I could not move or speak. Soon all the pain of a dying body came rushing into me. I sat up, screaming at the doctor, 'Why did you bring me back?' Then I passed out. When I awoke, a psychologist was sitting at my bedside.
