Can you Experience an NDE without Dying?

[Karyn]

Can You Experience an NDE without Dying? The answer is yes.  A surprising number of people report sharing in the near-death and dying experiences of their loved ones. Raymond Moody coined the term for this: the shared death experience (SDE).  A compelling discussion of SDEs can be found in Raymond’s Book Glimpses of Eternity (2010), co-authored by Paul Perry. The shared death experience is characterized by a number of features, including several that overlap with the near-death experience.

Interviewees report these phenomena both at the bedsides of their loved ones as well as from long distances: change of the geometry of the room/space.  a mystical light. music or musical sounds appearing from nowhere. co-living the life review during and/or after the death of a loved one. encountering otherworldly or heavenly realms. seeing a mist emanating from or surrounding the loved one at the moment of death. No one interviewed reported all seven occurrences, but most described more than one of those listed above. William Peters, of the Shared Crossing Project, has built upon Raymond’s foundational work with extensive research into the shared death experience. He is the first and only pioneer in this field to have an institute dedicated primarily to the research of this phenomena. Click here to register Raymond and William will be in conversation about SDEs during a free webinar on Saturday March 12, 2022 10:00am PST, 1:00pm EST, 6:00pm UK.
