Near Death Experiences (NDEs) and What They Teach Us About Life
from The Soul Horizon · host Ashley Melillo
Documented accounts of Near Death Experiences date back thousands of years to ancient Greece and Rome. All the major religious traditions include stories of NDEs as do narratives collected from indigenous populations from around the world. The medical literature from the 19th and early 20th centuries also includes NDE cases. (Source— After by Bruce Greyson, M.D.) Although it might seem like an unusual phenomenon, NDEs aren't all that uncommon. In fact, they're described by 10% of people whose hearts stop. And surveys taken in the US, Australia, and Germany suggest that 4 to 15% of the general population have had NDEs. In this episode, we're digging into the evidence on NDEs, looking at two unique and profound experiences, and discussing what the experience of (almost) dying teaches us about life.You can access the full list of resources and links here (it was too long to include in full)!Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for entertainment and informational purposes only and does not substitute individual psychological advice.Become a member of The Soul Horizon community (or give a one-time donation) to support the podcast.
