On the day of my "out of body" experience I was massaging a client. While I was massaging her, time stood still, even for my client, who commented afterward that this was the nicest longest massage she ever had. Even though it was an hour, I had this feeling it was going on for ever (in a very pleasant way). During the massage all of a sudden I could feel my soul float in front of my third eye. I had this overwhelming bliss within me and I knew then, that this is what will happen when I die.

This event lasted for roughly 3 days. I was more aware of other people, I noticed their strength (even if they didn't) and had this all encompassing Love for all beings

What could a national organization with an interest in near death experience (NDE) do that would be of interest to you?        I came to your site through Anita Moorjani's Book "Dying to be me". When I read about her experience it was exactly what I felt when this happened to me, but I wasn't actually dying. I never talked to anybody about it and I wonder if I had if I could have held on and didn't have to go through another bout of depression.

Please offer any suggestions that you may have to improve this questionnaire.  Are there any other questions that we could ask to help you communicate your experience?                    Very good questionnaire, thanks
