I really enjoy watching different near death experience (NDE) accounts by people and find their message of love, connectedness and the fact that death is nothing to fear both comforting and inspirational. There is often a common message that what we experience beyond this physical realm is more real than our current experience of life, offers a profound feeling of love and that when we pass from this life, we are going home.
I recently watched a NDE by Danielle Slupesky, who is now an End of Life Guide, Death Doula and Educator which I felt had a particularly important message that I wanted to share.
Danielle was practising as a nurse and had had a number of health issues which resulted in a blood clot travelling to her lung and a serious medical episode which led to her NDE. She describes moving out of her body and experiencing a life review which, like other NDE accounts, was not in judgement but more an opportunity to learn from her actions in this life and adjust behaviour to do better next time.
Danielle explains that during her life review she relived an experience when she was a young student at school, where she came to the defense of a girl who was being bullied by 3 others. She not only experienced what her own emotions were at the time, but also the shame of those perpetrating the bullying as they were aware they were not doing the right thing. She also had a deep understanding that the person who was being bullied experienced for the first time that someone had stood up for her and this changed the life trajectory of the person being bullied in a positive way.
Danielle shared that whatever we do, say and, also think, can have ripple effects both positive and negative for all those that we interact with.
It is therefore essential for us to be mindful of our words, actions and thoughts as they are more powerful than we know.
