Experience Description

I was halfway through my pregnancy when I began vomiting profusely and feeling very unwell. This did not stop, and because the medical staff attributed my nausea to the pregnancy and did not see anything else, I just got worse and worse. Eventually I was so ill that they did not know if they would be able to save my life, and they had to terminate the pregnancy in order to give me strong medication. When I was at my worst, I found myself at the ceiling, looking down at myself in the bed and at the others around me. After a while I left the ceiling and traveled into a fantastically beautiful spiral tunnel with unearthly colors and beautiful music. After that, I was enveloped by masses of love, colors, and a stillness. I wanted to stay there. However, I felt in my body that I was not finished here on earth and needed to go back. The reason I came back was that I needed to live now and do what came to me. I needed to remind us humans that we are all part of a greater whole and that we should not waste time. We are all like drops in an endless ocean reaching all the way out into the universe. Everything, in the end, is just positive and negative charges that never cease to exist but leave an echo.

I returned to earth and the hospital bed and began an arduous journey where I learned everything from the beginning again. I was like a newborn child. Over time, however, most of my memories came back. I have carried this experience with me, but I have been too unwell to deal with it. The years passed, and I had a similar experience again in 2017, but this time I managed to get help from my husband fairly quickly, which meant that it did not last as long, with less brain damage as a result. This time they found a tumor on my parathyroid gland, and they found that I had been affected by an aggressive form of MS. The purpose of my ending up in this state again, I was given to understand, was that I had not taken in enough, that I had not listened... After this event, I have started having certain dreams that won't leave me. For example, that we would start a youth center in the municipality where I live and that we would grow things together with others. The dreams are often about me setting "balls in motion" and getting people to interact in various ways.

This is a brief account of my experience.

I have been interviewed by "The Second Death", episode 26, and by the Miracle Podcast, also episode 26, with Celine PS, NDE, where you can hear more about my experiences.

Best regards,

Celine
