Brandy L Possible NDE

Experience Description

I lay on my bed, knowing that physically something was not right with me. I was bleeding but pregnant. As I lay, I was meditating to calm myself. Suddenly I saw 'me' lying on the bed but 'I' was above my sleeping body with a thin thread of golden light attached between my body and me. I floated upwards and found myself drawn to a great white light. I floated towards the light; I was welcomed by beings of light, I felt unconditional love, no pain, hardships or worries, I was bounced gently (as a floating balloon) in to the Light, where I heard a voice (male) who told me 'It's not yet time, you must go back, your work is not yet done.' The next moment, I was back, with a slight jolt feeling and opened my eyes.
