Near Death Experiences have been reported all over the world for many years, but what is meant by the term Near Death Experience (NDE). A Near Death Experience happens when someone is close death or is clinically dead and is then revived. Some Scientific Experts believe that what a person experiences or sees in these moments can be easily explained as hallucinations brought on by the death of the brain. Though this explanation can not account for the numerous experiences, which have been recorded over the years. Nor does this scientific theory make sense when you realize that if a person clinically has brain death they cannot be revived/brought back to life. NDE first began to draw interest through the research of people like George Ritchie, Raymond Moody Jr and Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, but NDE became of worldwide public interest in 1975 with the release of Moody’s book Life after Life. Not long after ‘The International Association for Near Death Studies’ was set up in the US. The only ever scholarly journal to be published in this field ‘Journal of Near Death Studies’ was published by the Near Death Association.
Since then there has been many studies done on NDE phenomenon, and many ordinary people have been interviewed on their own Near Death Experiences, those that have experienced NDE often report that during this phenomenon, they have an inner sense that they feel they know that they are dead, they feel that their bodies are light and often feel themselves leaving the body, instead of feeling scared they sense an over-whelming calmness and peacefulness, often reported is the sight of a corridor or light moving towards them, seeing deceased family members, or being brought to the light by these deceased relatives. Meeting beings of light and experiencing a review of their life (life review), being told they have to return to their body or being taken back to their physical body. Some people have found their NDE’s to be distressful, while others have had religious experiences.
