Some people have stood at the very edge of this life and glimpsed what waits beyond it. They come back speaking of a light brighter than anything on Earth, of beings who greeted them like long lost family, and of a love so complete that returning to the body felt almost impossible.

These moments are called near death experiences, or NDEs. Whether you have had one, know someone who has, or simply feel a quiet pull toward these stories, I want to share something with you this month: you do not have to leave your body to remember where you came from. That same light is already within you, and it is waiting to be remembered.

What People Describe At The Edge Of Life

Across cultures, faiths, and generations, people who have had near death experiences often describe remarkably similar moments:

• A sensation of being lifted or pulled away from the physical body
• A radiant, loving light that feels like home
• Beings who feel familiar: angels, guides, loved ones, or a presence many call God, Jesus, or Source
• An overwhelming feeling of being loved and accepted exactly as they are
• A message that it is not yet their time, and that there is still work to do
• A sudden return to the body, sometimes felt as a push or a rush back in

Many return changed. Some feel more peaceful. Others feel a deep homesickness for that place of light, and life on Earth can feel heavier than it did before.

A Client's Story

Last month I had the honor of working with a beautiful soul I will call Grace. (Her name and identifying details have been changed to protect her privacy, and she has lovingly given permission for her story to be shared.)

Grace had carried a great deal of sorrow through her life. Her childhood was a sad one, and more than once her path led her to the very edge of this world. Several times, she experienced what may be described as a near death experience. She was never quite sure whether she had imagined them or whether they were real. But she knew they were strikingly similar, and each time, she felt herself connect with what many would call the divine light of God.

In one of these experiences, she remembers being gently pulled away from the Earth and surrounded by beings who were so familiar and so joyful to see her. The joy was mutual. They filled her heart with light and love, and she felt completely accepted. One presence, which she describes as feeling like God or Jesus, wrapped an arm around her and spoke to her. He reminded her that she is so loved and so beautiful, but that she still had much work to do. Within moments, she felt herself pushed back into her body.

Grace shared something about this moment that has stayed with me. In her words: “It was a very interesting feeling. It felt like a father figure, but it was not my father. It was like a divine father, guiding me and showing me.”

She did not want to come back. And for years afterward, even with the memory of that love, Grace carried a heavy feeling about being here on Earth. She felt disconnected from others, and a loneliness lived in her heart that nothing seemed to soothe.

That was what she came to heal. She hoped her QHHT session could help release the heaviness of not wanting to be here, and give her real answers about the purpose of her life.

Her QHHT Session

In her Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) session, Grace did not feel the dramatic pulling and pushing she had felt in her near death experiences. Instead, she felt something softer: a beautiful sense of peace and love, and a resetting in her heart.

She connected once again with her higher self, that part of her that lives very close to the God source. And her higher self spoke to her with such tenderness. It told her she was doing nothing wrong. In fact, she was doing everything right. All she needed to do was let go of the painful memories and experiences she had been carrying, and live her life with love, intention, and care toward others.

Logically, Grace already knew she had so much to give. She is a gifted teacher of children, especially children with physical and emotional challenges. But the pain, loss, and loneliness she had endured had slowly dimmed her joy and her zest for life.

During the session, her higher self showed her what she needed to see to feel calm again, and reminded her that this life has great importance and meaning while she is still here. It also shared a truth I hear often in this work: each of us comes into this life with lessons to learn and experiences to have, and our time here is part of that sacred learning.

Four Weeks Later

When Grace came out of her session, she described feeling lighter, both in her body and in her mind. The heaviness of not wanting to be in physical form had lifted. She felt at peace.

Four weeks later, she shared that she feels more aligned with her divine purpose than ever before. She has taken real, meaningful steps toward living the life her higher self described: as a teacher, a giver, and someone who shows others love, peace, and compassion.

The Same Light, Two Different Doorways

What moves me most about Grace’s story is how similar her near death experiences and her QHHT session were at their heart. In both, she met the same loving presence. In both, she was reminded of who she truly is.

The difference is in the doorway. A near death experience arrives suddenly, often in crisis, and can feel physically intense. QHHT is a gentle, guided doorway. You are safe, relaxed, and supported the entire time, and you return with the memory of what you received and the space to integrate it.

Angels, guardians, guides, the higher self, and the divine source of God’s energy are not far away. They are part of the same beautiful light, and that light is the very essence of who you are.

You Do Not Need To Nearly Die To Remember

We are each a shimmering shard of the light of God. Sometimes life asks us to forget that, and sometimes we simply need help remembering.

This is what QHHT can offer. It can help recalibrate us back to our higher vibration and release the emotional weight of past traumas and pain. The memories do not disappear. They simply lose their power to trigger us the way they once did. We begin to see them as experiences we have lived through, and what remains is peace, light, and the true love that lives in each one of us, waiting to be expressed.

An Invitation

If Grace’s story touched something in you, I would be honored to walk beside you. Whether you've had a near death experience, feel a longing for deeper connection with your guides and higher self, or are carrying a heaviness you are ready to release, a QHHT session may be a gentle place to begin.

Reach out to schedule a call with me and let's explore how QHHT can support you.

With warmth,
