I was being choked to death by an acquaintance. I tried to ask him to let go but I was being choked so hard that I couldn't even get words out of my mouth. The last thing that I remembered was looking at him in pain.I didn't go through any tunnels or anything like that but all of a sudden, I was in the most beautiful place that I had ever seen, and I felt like I was really there. The grass was so very green and the trees were more beautiful than I had ever seen. I was happier and more free then I have ever felt (to this day I have never felt like that again). It was wonderful and peaceful. The smell of the air was a freshness that I cannot explain. I could move from one place to another in a blink of an eye and everywhere I went was different but just as beautiful. I could actually fly. It just took a thought and off I would go. I felt as though I was in a very familiar place and was afraid of nothing. I was around many children even I felt younger then I actually was. It's hard to explain the sensations I felt. I was playing, flying, and looking down on the earth from far above. I had no fear, anxiety, confused feelings or anything like that. I felt whole, like that peaceful life that everybody longs for. I'll never forget it because it was absolutely wonderful.Then all of a sudden my body started to tingle (and throughout the time that I was there I had no feeling of pain or anything) everything went black and I woke up in the same spot that he left me in. My body I could feel again and I felt pain throughout it. I felt like a million knives stabbing me, then I opened my eyes and felt the comfort of the Lord by my side and I felt a peace knowing where I'm going when I do die. It was a wonderful place but I'm not in a hurry to get back there.GOD be with you All!!Background Information:Gender: FemaleDate NDE Occurred: 1994NDE Elements:At the time of your experience, was there an associated life-threatening event?
