Experience Description

I was waiting for a ride and trying to figure out what was happening. I passed out. My friend, at the time of this experience, was begging me to stay with her. I felt my soul leave my body. Suddenly, I was across the room watching the entire scene. As I looked at the bright golden light, I was standing there wondering if I should stay on earth or go Home. At this time, I didn't feel any pain and I felt at peace. I was facing the light about to go Home, then the next thing I know, I was being pulled back into my body. I breathed deeply, arched my back, and came back to consciousness. My friend was very happy that I was alive again. I didn't want to come back because I was at such peace.
