Understanding Near-Death Experiences
Near-death experiences (NDEs) occur when individuals have significant clinical death and are later resuscitated, often resulting in vivid memories of otherworldly occurrences. Common traits reported by survivors include the sensation of being outside one's body, movement through a dark tunnel, and encounters with deceased relatives or spiritual beings. Despite variability in NDE testimonies, research indicates a remarkable similarity in experiences across different cultures and backgrounds. Key figures in NDE research, such as Raymond Moody, have identified patterns including feelings of peace, consciousness separation, and life reviews during these moments of clinical death.
