Since the 1980s when near death experiences (NDE) became part of the public consciousness, they have held endless attraction for people. Why do they resonate so powerfully within us? Dr Raider draws parallels between near-death experiences and those had by people who meditated throughout the ages, coming from all backgrounds, in all countries and all faith and traditions. Learn about the latest medical research and discover a simple and natural way to connect with the inner light talked about by those who’ve experienced a NDE. Through a simple time-honored method of meditation, you too can explore those realms of peace within you.
