Did I ever tell you about the night I died...and (obviously) came back ? 😳
Back in 2008, my husband and I were enjoying a lovely dinner out with friends. Over the jovial banter and delicious saag paneer, eventually, my plate emptied and the button on my pants threatened a spring-loaded getaway…then without warning, the room began to spin.
Orange and yellow sequined tapestry became blindingly bright and splotchy as the scent of garlic naan burned my nostrils. Whirling words and laughter became a slow-motion surround-sound not-so-merry-go-round that began to spin progressively faster and faster.
Panicking in response to the parade stampeding my brain, I felt like a juggler with more balls in the air than she could catch. Just beneath the flurry of a thousand butterfly wings flapping in my chest, I realized I was losing my grip.
While my hubby and friends panicked, I was peacefully flung through the ceiling, beyond the cosmos, into the pearly gates.
As 911 mayhem erupted on the earth plane, I was whooooooshed into a most heavenly out-of-body experience, blissfully receiving answers to questions I’d always hungered for.
At the threshold, before what I sensed was the point of no return, I made the decision to turn about-face and come back to earthly life—but I’ve never been the same.
Like so many others who have had NDE’s (near-death experiences) or their more benign cousin, OBE’s (Out of Body Experiences), I realized FOR SURE there is more to our existence than the sum-total of our physical reality.
Here’s a sneak peek about more of the details I write about in my newest book, Luminous Humanness: 365 Ways to Go, Grow & Glow to Make it Your Best Year Yet:
The floodgates opened, no longer in charge, I was on the ride, going where it—whatever it was—wanted to take me. I was without a body, but aware I was still me. I had my thoughts, my perspective, my internal commentary, but I was liberated — at one with the swirling rainbow-colored light show of the universe.
Just moments before, I’d been confined to an ego prison inside an earth-bound body, white knuckles grasping the guide rails of my life— tightness and worry had become my norm. But I was suddenly freed from my shackles, elevated beyond the myopia of my tiny teacup-sized world to a viewpoint that contained the vastness of the sky.
