Janie G's NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

I went to dentist office for simple filling. I was injected several times with Novocain because I wouldn't get numb. the dentist just kept giving me more and more. I began to shake uncontrollably. my heart was racing, and beating very irregularly. I was sort of going in and out. I remember the dentist saying she was going to call 911. then there was this voice, this presence, I can't explain it-a bright light and a voice off to the side of me. she said," do you remember the way you breathed when you were going to have the children?" I knew she meant the Lamaze slow chest breathing I used when I gave birth to my children. she asked me to use this breathing technique. at this time I really panicked as I began to think of my children and how little they were and how much they needed me. she said, "you breath the way I asked you to, and I will go and watch over them for you, she meant my children. she told me that thinking of them would only hurt my heart rate, make it beat faster, to concentrate on breathing and she would watch them for me. and then she said, "whichever way it goes I will be here for you" things were quiet while the ambulance attendants put me in the ambulance and started an iv. they took me to the hospital, due to meds I received my heart rate started coming down and was beating more normally. she told me everything was alright now, and that my children were fine, and that she loved me, and I was going to be okay and then she left. I was amazed at the feeling I got from this being, person, I had never felt that someone knew me inside and out, and accepted everything about me. I can tell you I have never felt loved by someone on this earth the way I felt loved by this being. I remember thinking this is how we are supposed to love each other, unreservedly, accepting everything. I cried for 2 days after this trying to process everything I had felt. the apparent cause was too much epinephrine got into my bloodstream and it made my heart take off and beat irregularly. I am so grateful for this experience. I was about to face some enormous challenges in my life and thinking of this being and the belief that there is more to life than this life that we live everyday, made it easier to cope with what came.

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Yes the feeling of complete love that was there for me. the feeling that this woman knew me, all about me, all the bad, all the good, and totally loved and accepted me. I have never in my life felt love like this love from anyone. I cried for 2 days after this experience because I was so upset that no one on this earth loved me like that. I felt such incredible love and acceptance and a knowledge of who I was and why I did things. I would never have to explain how I felt she just knew.
