Rhonda NDE

Experience Description

I was having a heart test done. I told the doctor that I was going to lose consciousness. I didn't feel right. I felt myself come out of the body at my feet. It was slow. All I remember was telling them I was going and I fell over on the bed. The last thing I saw was the doctor jumping up out of his chair. Next, I was in darkness. Went I realized I was in the darkness, I saw a bright Light come to me. It was as white as snow. That's all I remember. Then I was back in my body. Never will I forget that or know why it happened.
