Experience Description

I had a heart attack when I was 19 years old.

I heard bells and someone was singing in the Sydney Opera that day.

They asked me if I wanted a family because that would change my life. I told them that I wanted a family and I love my children dearly since this experience.

I received knowledge. I flew in outer space, until I reached Jupiter. I was expanded and I was huge. My guides told me how planets were formed. Everything was discussed with me.

I was sent back to my body. I came back crying, I had to take on a difficult life.
