Description

I delve into the profound question of what happens after we die, focusing on near-death experiences (NDEs) and their implications for understanding consciousness and the afterlife. 

Exploring scientific research on NDEs, the common features reported by survivors, and the ongoing debate about consciousness at the point of death. I also share my personal beliefs about the afterlife, influenced by my spiritual background, and how the experiences of NDE’s emphasises the importance of living fully in the present moment while remaining open to the mysteries of life and death.
