Have just ordered the audiobook (I have a free trial of Audible at the moment). Looking forward to it as I have a lot of respect for Greyson.
Catja de Rijk from the Netherlands had a brief but life changing near death experience, when her heart stopped whilst undergoing cardiac catheterization for a life threatening heart condition.

"I received intensive care rehabilitation for twelve weeks. I also visited the psychologist. She recognised the things I said.
"I've heard of this before, she said! It sounds like a near death experience, (you ought to) go and google it.
“...you just allow everything to be what is”
Not sure if this was posted in another thread. Doesn't seem like it but if so re-posting as part of the resources listing ->
Quote:Peter Fenwick, PhD, is coauthor with his wife, Elizabeth, of The Truth in the Light, The Art of Dying, The Hidden Door: Understanding and Controlling Your Dreams, and Past-Lives: An Investigation Into Reincarnation Memories. He is also author of Shining Light on Transcendence: The Unconventional Journey of a Neuroscientist. He is President Emeritus of the Scientific and Medical Network.
Here he describes his research in a variety of areas including epilepsy, near-death experience, deathbed experiences, and the dying process itself. He also describes unusual research on the process of "giving light" associated with a spiritual teacher named Alain Forget. EEG measurements during this process were suggestive of brain to brain communication.
Some people have things tough, this poor kid had little hope, his NDE probably made a huge difference to his outlook.

I really like this Near-Death Experience of Tony Kofi.
Unusually, it is featured on BBC Radio 4. It was also, a few years ago covered on a
World Service programme.
The near-death experience that made me a musician
Quote:Tony Kofi is the fifth of seven brothers and was raised by his Ghanaian parents in Nottingham in the late 1960s.
At secondary school Tony was turned down for the music course he wanted to do, told he wasn’t focused enough, and directed to do woodwork instead. He stuck with woodwork as he was really good at it, and left school at the age of 16 to become a carpentry apprentice. A few months in, working on a house construction, he fell from the roof arch to the ground floor where he landed on his head. Tony says he experienced the fall in slow motion and he had clear visions of unknown faces and places and saw images of himself playing an instrument. During his recovery it was that image which kept coming back to him. Tony made the decision to quit his apprenticeship and announced his intention to become a musician. He bought a saxophone and taught himself how to play by ear, before earning a full scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in the US.
Scroll forward many years, Tony is now a highly-acclaimed jazz saxophonist and credits the fall with turning his whole life around.
The coverage concentrates mainly on the music. But careful listening reveals that Tony saw his future, as-yet unborn children and family, as well as his career in jazz music.
Whatever, an impressive sincere account, I feel. Impressive because this is thirty years before Moody's book. Sincere because he's a German soldier and I don't think religion/God/spirituality was very much in their thoughts.
