Experience Description

Reaction to insulin blood sugar low, unconscious, cannot move or speak. I saw myself bathing in bright light. Surrounded by twelve beings in white garments - I was in the middle of the circle. I also saw shadow people in the corner of my back yard - they were told that they cannot come near me because I have done a hundred and eight good things in my life time. I am back in my bedroom, lots of the emergency people surrounding me. They put me in the ambulance - I have no pain and I feel fine
