Experience Description The first near death experience happened to me when I was age 21. I went to the hot springs and then my heart suddenly stopped. I had no heart-beat for 5 minutes. I woke up with help from people surrounding me. I saw the shadows of my grandparents and a little girl, whom I couldn't recognize who she was. I was in a completely dark place. The second near death experience happened when I was age 28. I was meeting with my colleagues at McDonald's. I drank 5 cups of coffee, not thinking about my health. This caused me to have a heart attack. My heart was born abnormal. I passed out. Then I saw a bright light and heard beautiful music from heaven. Everything was shining like gold, even though I didn't know what it was. After I woke up, I was in the hospital already. The third near death experience happened when I was age 32. I was walking with a foal in the horse ranch. The fool's legs accidentally kicked my chest. I couldn't breathe and my heart suddenly stopped. What I remembered was that I fell on the ground. Only a few seconds later, I saw myself in the sky and I flew as a balloon. At the same time, I was very confused about seeing my body lying on the grass. My colleagues tried to help me. I was happy and fearless because I saw the blue sky and clouds. I even could feel the breeze. I saw everything so clearly. I didn't even care if I was dead or alive. Around 5 seconds later, I started fall like an airplane crashing to the ground. I felt like I was buried in the deep ground. I tried to push away the soil and got out from the underground. After I woke up, my colleagues told me that they thought I was dead because my heart stopped for more than 10 minutes. After the doctor checked on me, he told me that it was a miracle because my heart attack didn't affect my pregnancy - my baby was still alive. I am 52 now and my son just barely turned to 19. My daughter is almost 18 years old.
