I just wanted to tell you about a profound experience
I had at the age of ten. I am now a 43 year old RN, and my outlook on life has changed ever since this
experience.
One extremely cold winter night in Texas I got ready for bed and entered my bedroom. At that time we
had what was called a 'space-heater' which was gas of course. It was so cold in my bedroom that I turned up
the heater to full blast before climbing into bed.
Sometime during the night I 'woke up' to find myself
against the ceiling. I was literally floating and I could see myself from the chest up. I remember feeling
no discomfort, such as heat or cold, just a nice peaceful feeling. While I was wondering why I was able
to float against the ceiling, I looked down and saw myself sleeping on my back. This was strange enough,
but the strangest part was how I thought of myself on the bed. I thought of myself in the third-person.
I remember distinctly thinking, "She is running out of air" and
"There is no oxygen in this room." I did not
think this in a state of panic, more like a peaceful concern for the body.
The next thing I knew, I was
hurling toward my body. I woke up when I slammed back into it. I jumped up, gasping for air, and
raised all the windows in my room. That blast of cold air was great!!!
I stood there for several minutes,
just taking deep breaths of air. I then turned down the heater real low and opened the door to my
bedroom. I told my family about this the next morning, but they just said that I was dreaming. I knew better
because it felt like no dream I had ever had before and the fact that I couldn't hardly breathe when I woke up in
my body.
This experience changed my life, because up to that point in my life, I was very unsure of life
after death. I also was suddenly not afraid of dying either.
Though I did not see any other beings during
this event and never saw a tunnel, I did seem to change mentally /
spiritually
afterwards. It was shortly after this experience that I became known in my family
for having visions that came true. I believe that I 'tapped in' to something that made me somewhat
clairvoyant. I also would occasionally see deceased loved ones. I begin to think of God as a more loving
being than he was portrayed by my Southern Baptist upbringing. I became more open to other religious
ideas, such as reincarnation and the idea of multiple levels of heaven.
