I have have many experiences like this, it's difficult to focus on one or two. I really wish I had more time to think about these things in the midst of a busy life, so thank you for asking this question.\n\nI had a near death experience, which made me more sure that there is something there after death. I saw a light, and found myself travelling towards it, and could hear the voices of loved ones who had died. Just as I seemed to arrive at a beautiful garden, it was as if I started travelling rapidly back again to the here and now - it wasn't my time yet.\n\nMeditation is a spiritual experience for me. So it prayer, although I don't belong to any organised religious group. And sometimes just walking in a beautiful place, or even sitting for a few minutes in a sunny garden. Or looking into the eyes of someone you love. Or sometimes a dream will take you to a spiritual place.I believe these are all spiritual experiences and they are available to us all, whenever we are open to them.

My husband talked me into trying E. It was the most amazing experience of my life. Everything was different, more vibrant. All of my senses were on fire. It was the most horrible experience of my life. When I came down I realized I had chipped some teeth and I was not just coming down but coming apart. The urge to curl up into a ball and die was so over powering. I would never ever ever do it again. Some people just don't do well with mind altering drugs. My husband was fine. He enjoyed the whole ride.\nLove & Light\nSharon

Yes, I have had an out of body experience, but I didn't go to heaven or hell.  I had a very bad automobile accident, and was rushed to hospital by ambulance with sirens screaming etc.  When we got to the hospital casualty staff were waiting and the ambulance personnel quickly got me out of the ambulance and rushed me into the emergency section.  I was fully conscious (I think, but I have never discussed this with anyone so I'm not sure now).  Anyway, as the ambulance guy pushed my stretcher at full speed into the casualty section - I found myself on the ceiling above the stretcher.  As he and other people rushed the stretcher along a corridor, I bounced up and down on the uneven bricks in the ceiling.  I felt incredibly nauseas.  Then we rushed into an emergency room where there was a doctor.  As we came to a stop, I came down onto the stretcher again.  The doctor prodded and poked etc, but the whole time he was doing it I couldn't really open my eyes, because there was a window behind me and the full noon sun was streaming through it and it hurt my eyes it was so bright.  Then I asked the doctor to close the curtains or blinds on the window and he was perturbed and gestured and I managed to turn around a little and there was just a blank brick wall (ordinary room wall) behind me.  The light was gone the moment I looked and the room was so drab and dark compared to before.  I have no explanation for all of this, but it does make me wonder sometimes.  I obviously survived the accident - I still have scars but I came out amazing well considering.  The doctor in the emrgency room repeatedly told me 'you have been very lucky'.  Was there an angel there?  I often wonder.

My foster sister/best friend "L" had a near death experience... herat attack from the addison's disease ... she died  as the doctors tried to reviive her  at the hospital... they offcially her death.... she died for 45 mins with the white sheet covered... she suddenly found herself in the darkness area (hades) and she saw so many lost souls there... she cried  and she felt the heat coming to her... she knew it was the hell area... very black  area.. she cannot see herself, but she felt the heat. She felt very fear. Then an angel held her hands which helped calm her from crying and scared.. he led her out of the hades into the tunnel  to Heaven... she was told that she had to come back to the earth to finish her work...( forgiveness, make peace with people, to repent from her sins)... she came back to breathe... which the doctors amazely found her breathing on own.... they took her back into uci room and she was put on the life support for while... because her brain was not working good since she had no oxygen in her brain... while she died...for 45 mins. But it was really the miracle that God kept her brain from the damages.... she woke up and she lost most of her memories .. back to the baby style , like learn to drink.. to eat with the spoons /forks etc and then she had to learn how to walk good.. like a baby learn the steps... till she got her skills back and she started remembering many pasts and she started remembering people...  she is a born again christian.... she made many peace with people.... she cried lot... for the forgiveness.... she accepted  what she did wrong and to correct herself... it touched her really hard once she expereinced being in the hades... it is a terrible place she felt in there... and also  she heard the songs someone played witht he harp in Heaven , though she was deaf on the earth and she is still deaf. She still remembers the sounds of harp songs..... its a amaze expereince for her.. God gave her another chance to repent .. wow.. God has his very mercy for her... i can image if she died , not given a chance... she'd be in the hades  till judgement for another death  of the lake of the fire. She is very lucky to Have another chance....  she said she didnt feel anything when she died... she just found herself in the hades as quick as one blink eyes!  Its scary if people didnt get saved by jesus... they d go there... go to Jesus who will save you from the hell..He died for you....accept His salvation and life eternal...

I recently remembered a month ago my first past life recall. I remembered living in India as a woman from another country. I had studied many religions and spirituality. I ended up chosing Hinduism as my religion to study seriously on my spiritual path.\n\nWhile living in India, I studied under a woman guru named Parvati. I remembered this temple that had this giant monkey statue on the outside.\n\nI had to leave the ashram for a couple of days, Parvati was asking me some medicine-related questions if I was prepared and had them.\n\nOn the way travelling, I got horribly sick with a dreadful disease. It was smallpox. My entire body was mummified. A man carried me to the doctor's. It was not modern at all. Kind of primative. This was during WWI. He poured water on my body that was wrapped up in white cloth, I screamed like bloody h*ll. Blood seeped through the cloth. I was above watching the whole thing.\n\nI did not feel anything, but I felt a lot of compassion for my past self and for the horrible suffering she was going through. I felt it was so unnecessary. They also put me against the wall to circulate my blood. My eyes were covered up too. Parvati, my guru, came to visit me as she was given word that I was dying.\n\nMy last words spoken were "Brahman of all things". I had my mind focused on God when I died which is very important for your next life.\n\nThis life, I'm just a white girl from CA but I ended up feeling at home with Hinduism after studying spiritualy and religions for 17 years. I am picking up where I left off. Amma is now my Satguru in this life. She is helping me finish my journey to God-Realization in this life. I do eventually want to live the rest of my life in India in her ashram. This past life recall helped me understand who I am in this life by explaining how I ended up on this journey and plus that disease helped wipe clean some bad karma as I hardly have any more bad karma to deal with this life. It was quite insightful.\n\nThere is a very interesting site http://www.johnadams.net This guy Walter Semkiv, M.D. had some some research on many cases of past lives and wrote a book called "Return of the Revolutionaries" which I have read. It is fascinating to read and there were many stories of how people can to find out who they are in their past life and became shocked at how identical the looked like in their former life. It is a known fact that our Soul would retain very similiar facial features life after life. There are many examples on that website. Take a look!\n\nI also wrote two posts about past lives on my 360 blog, the first about the above recall and the second about how people look like their past lives:\n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-O50H77Iib6fVzcbXCb1eO_cIAk0-?cq=1&l=46&u=50&mx=111&lmt=5&p=263\n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-O50H77Iib6fVzcbXCb1eO_cIAk0-?cq=1&l=21&u=25&mx=111&lmt=5&p=356

Dear Vickki, I am assuming you have lost someone dear to you in death? I am sorry for you pain. I know the days often seem so long. God does not promise us a life without difficulties and sorrow. He does promise his grace, his mercy and his endless love. It is so hard to understand but someday we will! I hope you can find comfort in knowing you will see your loved ones again. Think about all the wonderful times you had with this person while they were here on this earth. Thank God for blessing your life with their life. By thanking God, you will find the most amazing comfort. Peace will come and you will be able to go on. Hold on to the  the memories and treasure each end every one. I will pray for you and that your pain will be eased. God Bless!

I have had 2 that I can think of.. probably more if I put my mind to it.. :)\nI was swimming under a floating raft in a lake and got my foot tangled in the chain underneath that was attached to the anchor that kept it from floating away.. I was pulled out from under it 2 minutes later and woke up to my sister pushing on my chest and some guy I don't know giving me the liplock of life.. I heaved up a whole lot of water.. but here I am :) .. the other one was when I reached into a mailbox in a thunderstorm.. lightning hit the wooden mailbox post and shattered it while my hand was inside. I got a small zap from it and sat or fell onto the sidewalk.. my mother came out screaming saying my hair was steaming :) go figure? I lived.. no worries.. life is full of them.. people are like cats.. just not as lucky.. if only we had 9 lives.. then I could have 6 more near death experiences.. what a thrill that would be :) naw.. I am joking.. it is scary to imagine what not having the luck to walk away from it would mean.

When I was about 12, a friend of mine fell through the ice on the river where we playing, and I grabbed him, but he pulled me in too. For a few seconds I thought we were both dead, and then a third friend grabbed me and somehow pulled us all out. Very frightening. \n\nI was scared, but basically acting on instinct. I asked myself how something like this could happen, and why my first friend was so stupid as to go out on the thin ice. I never stopped thanking God for being our protector in that moment. As I have reflected on that moment since, the guy that I pulled out is a doctor - so God had a purpose for not calling him to heaven at that moment.\n\nIf I die now, I know that I will be in heaven, so there is not the great fear of death as when I was young. Like Woody Allen says, I don't fear death, it's the dying part that I'm not crazy about.

Omg...ur such a tease. What about life and death and I no I haven't died and came back before but I would like to know what the hell you saw. Life is confusing and sometimes I don't even know why we exist if we're gonna get killed off in the end. It sucks if you ask me.

Yes, all of us have had bad days, but few of us have experienced grieving over a murdered child. My sympathies and thoughts are with you!\n\nWe all feel alone sometime, and we all try to deal with that in our own ways. Sometimes by endlessly seeking distractions, sometimes by facing our own fears, doubts, anxieties...\n\nBut life requires that of us. Growth is almost always uncomfortable and sometimes very painful, but it's pain for something, if we're honest, if we're true to ourselves and if we genuinely care about the meaning and effect of our lives.\n\nI would much rather experience the pain of facing myself... and accomplishing something of substance in my life... then run away from myself... and at the end of it all, look back and think... "What was it all for? What real difference did I make?"\n\nGood luck to you.

When I was nine years old, I snapped out of a deep sleep and whispered, "Grandma's dead." I said it to myself in the dark. About a minute later, the phone rang and all of a sudden, I heard my father crying. I crawled out of bed and pushed open my parents bedroom door and asked my mom if everything was okay. Of course, she lied and told me to go back to bed. The next morning, my parents told me and my younger brother that she had passed on. It was scary to know before I was told and I haven't viewed death the same way since then. I'm twenty five now.

I have seen people brought back to life that previously did not have a pulse or breathing. So I don't think the previous answers are accurate. \n\n To answer your quesiton sometimes I have seen the exact opposite I think they go too far trying to save people.  I have seen people in comas. I have also taken care of people who had strokes(that were revived) that would have preferred to die.

The ceasing of life. What is it like? I dunno, I've never tried it. (Added - Looking at these answers, I am amazed how many living people have! Unless those of you who've decided that you know are zombies, or something.)

I was electrocuted at work a while back.  I was passed out when they pulled me down from the wires.  But I never lost my train of thought, I feel that I experienced the whole thing in real time.\n\nWhen the current grabbed me I felt the life quickly drain from my body, it occoured to me that this is how I am to die, and then I was moving at high speed down a river of florescent light, inside a canyon with tall dark walls.  My body kept feeling like when you go over the falls on a roller coaster.  After a time the walls of the canyons started to have faces, and the faces turned into my fellow workers staring down at me in horror, thinking I was dead.   But I was pretty much OK except for some deep burns.\n\nCould have been just the dieing process.  But I feel that it was my choice to live or die during that time.  \n\nI would say my time since then is pure bonus time.  But really our entire lives are bonus time.   I don't understand anything more about death, but I did learn to appreciate each moment of life, each life giving breath.

You can't experience life after death and be able to talk about on Yahoo Answers, because you wouldn't be able to. However, people DO have near-death experiences (NDEs). The most famous ones were the ones that happened to a man named Dannion Brinkley. He's been interviewed on the late-night talk radio program "Coast to Coast AM" several times.
