In today's conversation, we welcome the insightful Dr. Janice Holden, a pioneer in studying near-death experiences (NDEs) since the mid-1980s. Dr. Holden's deep well of knowledge and her compassionate curiosity about life's greatest mysteries have inspired countless individuals to look beyond the veil of this reality. Her stories illuminate not only the phenomena of near-death experiences but the profound spiritual truths they unveil.Dr. Holden's journey began with an early fascination for phenomena that defy conventional explanation, later ignited by reading Dr. Raymond Moody's groundbreaking book on NDEs. As she delved deeper into this enigmatic field, she discovered a world that defies material explanations—a place where consciousness transcends the physical form and where the mysteries of life and death intertwine. Her accounts remind us that what lies beyond this mortal plane is far richer and more profound than we might imagine.One compelling topic discussed was the life review, a core feature of many NDEs. Imagine revisiting your life's moments, but this time, experiencing not just your actions but their emotional impact on others. As Dr. Holden eloquently put it, "When I do unto you, I do unto me." This concept, shared by many experiencers, transforms how they perceive relationships and decisions, anchoring them in the power of love and interconnectedness.Dr. Holden also explored the less-discussed yet equally transformative distressing NDEs. She shared the story of a man who experienced a void of eternal isolation. For him, this profound darkness mirrored his lifetime of avoiding human connection. After the experience, he emerged with a newfound appreciation for love and community, reorienting his life toward meaningful relationships. Such tales remind us that even our darkest moments can spark deep personal growth.In discussing NDE phenomena, Dr. Holden highlighted remarkable veridical perceptions—instances where experiencers reported highly specific, accurate details about their surroundings while clinically dead. One striking example involved a patient who observed his surgeon flapping his arms during a procedure, a motion confirmed to be a specialized technique the surgeon used. These stories challenge our understanding of consciousness and its reach beyond the body.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSThe Universal Connection: NDEs often reveal that we are deeply interconnected. As many experiencers recount, love is the essence that binds us all, transcending time and space.Life's Purpose Through Love: Dr. Holden shared that NDEs consistently emphasize two main life purposes: loving others and expanding knowledge. These profound insights encourage us to focus on what truly matters.Growth in Adversity: Distressing NDEs, though challenging, often catalyze profound spiritual awakenings. They serve as reminders that our struggles can guide us toward deeper truths.Dr. Holden's accounts illuminate the boundless mysteries of existence and challenge us to embrace our lives with curiosity and compassion. Through her research, she bridges the tangible and the ethereal, reminding us that even as we grapple with life's uncertainties, the answers often lie within our hearts.Please enjoy my conversation with Dr. Janice Holden.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

https://www.iandssb.com/ Double Near-Death Experiencer, I died during a severe illness as a toddler and then died again, when I was 31 yr old. An error during a medical procedure at a hospital resulted in my death for 8-10 minutes, and after I was resuscitated, I shocked the medical team by accurately describing their individual actions and comments during the resuscitation process. I had witnessed everything from a ceiling vantage point, directly above my body! Those events, and the aftereffects that followed, contributed to many really interesting life sequences. My full NDE story and some life highlights can be seen in a documentary at https://youtu.be/zg3HnkSg38s, by the French Documentary Producer, Anthony Chrne. I travel and speak to live audiences, and for TV, radio, print, podcast, and documentary interviews, including coverage by the NBC Today Show, U.S. News and World Report, Mindalia TV, ABC News, and others. My life has included a Secret clearance with the U.S. Department of Defense, raising our five children and helping 16 “adopted by love” extra kids from all over the world that have visited us as foreign exchange students, traveling to 26 foreign countries and thwarting being kidnapped in Belize, being named Santa Barbara's “Businesswoman of the Year”, and an “Unsung Heroine” at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and singlehandedly attacking and chasing off four gang members in the midst of randomly stabbing to death a 19 yr old young man during a gang initiation and saving the young man's life, then helping police to identify and prosecute them! Yes, I've truly enjoyed living this amazing life! I currently am the Founder/Director of IANDS Santa Barbara, one of the many worldwide groups that are part of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS.org), as well as serving as the Executive Administrator for the Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF.org and ). Please feel free to contact me if I can help with your project!

Kenneth P. Leth died and went to heaven when he was 8, but the full picture of what he experienced didn't come to the forefront right away. When he became a young adult Ken experienced a STE that opened a door. From then on the memories have been coming back. Ken is 67 now and details are still coming to him in moments of knowing, or clarity. As per Ken talking about it in an interview with people is almost like a therapy session for him. There are always insights and details that come out during a session. They may not be obvious to you, but he often come away with more than he expected. Meeting other experiencers through organizations like IANDS, or NDERF has been a great help as well.Among the important events that Ken now remember:Ken lived a previous life that he can remember parts of.Ken met with a panel, or group of entities who acted like a council. They determined his level of spiritual growth to be lacking before he was sent back down from heaven to live this current life.He have a spirit guide who comes through to give him messages when important things are about to happen.Ken can recall his birth because he almost died then too, and he was shown his birth during my life review at age 8.Beyond the usual NDE stuff, Ken was also shown the future, and is willing to talk about that as well if you wish. A lot of his predictions are happening right now, today, with current events.Ken Leth's book: A Child Goes to HeavenAnyone reading Ken Leth's book will come to understand why we were born in the flesh and why family is just as important here on Earth as it is there in Heaven. Ken Leth was 8 years old when his appendix burst. In the midst of life-saving surgery he was whisked into Heaven where he met his great-great grandparents and many other deceased members of his extended family who assured him he was loved more than he could possibly imagine.A Child Goes to Heaven is an inspirational book that addresses the profound truth that the love we feel here on Earth is an extraordinarily weak imitation (at best) of the love we will experience in Heaven. This Second Edition contains “Publisher's Notes” that reveal the futuristic visions Ken saw in Heaven, some of which have already occurred.Please enjoy my conversation with Ken Leth.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Welcome to Classic Skeptic Metaphysicians! We're re-releasing some of our back catalog so that these gems can be re-discovered!This week: What Happens When We Die? A Near Death Experience Story"If you know and manifest that God is all forgiving and all loving, and that you're going to go to heaven, it's a slam dunk. Everybody goes, unless you choose not to." --M.K. (Kathy) McDanielStory/Content Warning: Please be advised that certain portions of this interview contain disturbing events that may trigger a listener who has experienced physical and/or sexual trauma.The greatest mystery! What happens when we die? M.K. McDaniel believes that she was shown exactly what happens, when she underwent an induced coma in order to battle an illness. Her journey followed her closely held Catholic beliefs, only to reveal a surprising truth behind what awaits us in the afterlife, that completely upended her views on religion and so much more.About Our Guest:M.K. McDaniel (known as Kathy to her friends) is the Author of MISFIT IN HELL TO HEAVEN EXPAT. Dying from lung failure in 1999, she was placed on a ventilator and into a drug-induced coma. A Disturbing Near-Death Experience occurred and, although mostly traumatic, the overwhelming bliss of Heaven shifted her religious beliefs to a deep spirituality. Kathy credits hearing the stories of IANDS members for her eventual integration of the Disturbing NDE, and the ability to accept the mission that caused her reluctant return to Earth.Resources:International Association for Near-Death Studies: iands.orgGuest Info:Instagram: @kathymcdaniel.foxisFacebook: @KathyMcDaniel.FoxIsTwitter: @MKMcDaniel3YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptI0LywPUj4&t=12sWebsite: misfitinhelltoheavenexpat.comLinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/m-k-kathy-mcdaniel-3b3791200/Support the Show:Rate/review Us Here: https://lovethepodcast.com/SkepticMetaphysiciansPurchase Merchandise: https://www.skepticmetaphysician.com/storeBuy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/SkepticMetaphysConnect with the show:Website: skepticmetaphysician.comFacebook: @TheSkepticMetaphysicianIG: SkepticMetaphysician_PodcastTik Tok: @skepticmetaphysiciansThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5652646/advertisement
