Van L NDE

Experience Description

Came into a beautiful garden with soft colors

A park in perfect harmony with a blue sky

Summer-like spring

Beautiful building, kind of monastery

Beautiful hallway with huge chandeliers

At the end of the hallway a strong yet soft light

While entering the building I was stopped by three close, yet deceased, relatives

I spoke to the three of them

The last one told me that it was too early to enter

Then came back to the world with beautiful visions.
