A year ago I died for a moment.

I was in a dark place surronded by light black box-like things quite tightly.
I was not afraid, just curious and very very alert, like questioning where am I now.

I woke up in my hospital bed. Starting to think how could I feel that I was in a thight place unable to move since I had no body there. How could I not realize it? I want to be more prepared for the next time, want to go there one more time for practice and being better prepared this time. Ok, without body where would I want go then? And how - just with wanting to go there, using my willpower?

Are there others with similar kind of experiences? Please, share your own experiences with me.

It sounds like what you're proposing is attempting suicide, if for just an NDE. I don't recommend it.

Heaven's gate cult should be a resounding call to everyone in this community about what not to do or try.

Tazz, I'm almost 80 years old, I may have still about 10 more good years to live. Life is exiting, so is death when the time naturally comes.
I live in Europe and death is not so much hidden here as it is in US. I suppose there is a cultural difference between us.
I am curious about what will happen after life. I understand if you or others don't want to think about it.
Life is worth living fully and enjoying.

Having a chance to live a long life has its benefits. Its time to make synthesis of experiences, understanding better and therefore noticing that there's nothing to forgive - still learning every day. Its time to resign and giving up responsibilities and material things joyfully, being grateful and lifting up younger generation.

hey Ibiscu, if you want so much experience that concept once again (which is understandable) why not learning OBE, don't know if you ever try it, but if don't then it's probably a good time for that.

I also died for a while. I was 60. The nurses came running and I remember their assertive tones in voices saying, breathe Linda breathe. I came back to do what they said, but during my time out I didn't go anywhere. I saw myself from within myself just looking out watching the strained looks on the nurses faces and I had instant empathy and love for them all. I just watched everything from within with a voice saying to me, just look at these women, they are caring about your life. Unknown to myself, my room buddy, was on her knees in the next bed, curtains drawn, praying for me, my hospital buddy was an active hospice nurse and she knew what was going on. I apologized for waking her up later the next morning, she just said, Oh Linda no apology needed, we all thought we were going to loose you. I haven't heard of others staying inside the body at a death moment like this, they seem to be out of the body experiences. I died but stayed inside my body.
