Renee G NDE

Experience Description :

I saw myself lying on the bed face down but yet I was viewing it from above as if I were floating above my body. Then I was taken through the roof and up into a dark space where there were many tiny colored lights and I was traveling past them. I had the feeling that these lights were very familiar to me but there was a single very bright light in the far distance that I was being pulled toward at great speed. I wanted to go toward that very intense light and then, as if there was a rope tied around my waist, I was reeled backwards again passing all the same little familiar lights and found myself in the body-bag experiencing great pain as I was stiff from being dead for such a long time. It was extremely difficult to move any part of my body as the pain was extreme. I did however regain my life and functions and managed to roll myself off some kind of table. When I hit the floor, many came to see what had happened and then they opened the bag. I was very much alive and well after being there for twenty-nine minutes! My life had not been the same since!
