Experience Description I was getting a diagnostic mammogram. During one of the poses, I got hot and felt like I was going to faint. Then I fainted for a short time. The staff helped me up. While gone, I went to a brightly lit place. The grass was a beautiful green and fairly flat. There were small groups of little children around. They wore shirts tucked into pants, and all had little belts. One of them came to me as I appeared on the green. We were walking toward an edge. Somehow he communicated to me that I was loved, more than once. I said to myself, "They love me. I am loved. They love me." The light was just there with no sun and no shadows, just a pleasantly bright light. There was no conversation or words exchanged. I knew what they were saying. At the very end, I said to myself, "I don't want to come back," as staff members were helping me after I had fainted.
