EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION

My experience actually began approximately six years ago in the bathroom in my mom's bedroom.  I had caught a cold and experienced a coughing spell well to my horror something in my throat seized up to the point where I couldn't breathe. It was so horrible that I scratched my face in panic. What must have been a few seconds felt like an eternity of pure hell...now I am sure I know an aspect of hell. My lungs ached as if they were empty but the worst was my mind trying to comprehend no oxygen.  My mom saw me and pleaded with me to not to panic as she called 911.  Her words penetrated my mind and suddenly I was released. 

The paramedics measured the air in my lungs and said that they were returning to normal.  Come to find out, the surgery I had had on my neck that was done through the front of my throat had left scar tissue in my throat and there was this one spot that was very sensitive and would swell so big that it would close my airway.  Well a few more times it happened, but it was never as terrorizing as that first time. Yeah I couldn't  breathe but I didn't have the hell related horror.  And shortly after the last time I felt Jesus speak to my heart with instructions to handle the situation. I was told to hunch my shoulders the next time I choked and so I did and each time it was so much more easier for me. So that's what I did for a while until that night.

My brother and I were sitting at the kitchen table I was eating some hamburger and gravy and talking to my brother.  Well some residue of the food found the sensitive area in my throat and here we go again, my throat sealed up, no air. My brother knew what was happening but he thought that a piece of hamburger was lodged in my throat.  He saw me try to take breaths twice and could get no air. He started panicking and beating on me.  Well it took me one more attempt at trying to get a breath with no luck to realize that something was drastically different this time.  I was not breathing in the natural yet wondering why my brother was in a panic. By my fourth attempt at breathing with no success, I realized I might not be breathing in the natural but in my mind I had enough air for everybody and it was wonderful.  It was the complete opposite of the first time; it was like taking a walk through heaven, I had no worries except my brother beating me up in his attempt to save me. Suddenly the choking stopped and I was completely ecstatic, but I could never really explain all that I felt, I really felt Jesus was breathing for me. I was never aware of any discomfort. Maybe this was God's way of putting my mind at ease concerning the murder victims. 

Any associated medications or substances with the potential to affect the experience?     No      

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Yes     How I could not get a breath in four separate and very deliberate tries but realizing that I was completely calm as I realized my head was full of pure air; it was like someone was breathing for me, I was on the verge of unspeakable joy.

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?          Uncertain      I'm not sure if this is in line with what you're asking but what had been on my mind after the first time I couldn't breathe was a case I had seen on TV where a mom and her two teenaged daughters were bound by their hands and their mouths and noses were bound so they could not breathe and they were on a boat and thrown over board.  After knowing what it was like not to breathe, I was terribly haunted by that case and I would periodically cry out to God to please explain to me and comfort me as to the fact that they didn't suffer like I did, for certainly it would have been longer than what I had experienced.
