(The first 15 seconds of this video are audio-only). For twenty years, Dr. Laurin Bellg has worked with patients in the intensive care unit who have near-death and out-of-body experiences during sudden cardiac death and severe trauma. These experiences are profoundly meaningful, yet when they are reported, they are frequently met with skepticism and dismissal by medical caregivers and family members. Dr. Bellg maintains that we don’t have to fully understand these events to honor the transformative role they often play in the lives of those who experience them. A thought leader in the area of working with patients who’ve had near-death experiences, Dr. Bellg has been a keynote speaker at many venues throughout the United States. Her presentations are popular for their strong story telling and thought-provoking message on the importance of honoring personal experience as a part of healing. Many of those accounts have been documented in her book Near Death in the ICU: Stories From Patients Near Death And Why We Should Listen To Them

I’ve had one of these experiences January 13th 2007. In a head on collision. Immediately I was out of my body standing next to my car. It was a bright whirling light that was almost hypnotic it started out the size of a pea and eventually engulfed me completely. Next thing I knew I was alongside my friends and family in the waiting room. I floated up to the floor I was on getting a MRI. With a surgical team on standby; like 13 people waiting for the results to know what needed to be done to fix me up. Next thing I know, two light beings showed up. One was humongous and the other was small. The smaller one was 100000x more powerful and important than the huge one. Don’t ask how I know, I just knew- I asked “are you an Angel or something and immediately after I said that we shot off at lightning speed through what looked like a tunnel with fiber optic lights extremely bright all around. When we arrived in the place I call “forever” it was just an overwhelming feeling of being back home. It was extremely familiar to me. That was more real to me than this existence. It was amazing to say the least. I had my moms brother who passed in September 2001 and my great grandmother who passed in 2002 walk right up to me with an over pouring feeling of love and just bliss. I walked for what seemed like hours with them and talked. My grandmother told me what my purpose was, when this and that was gonna happen and to be ready, how many children I’d have, their genders, etc. i came back and told them and the doctor seemed uninterested in anything I had to say until I reminded him of his coworker opening a soda bottle and it fizzed all over the place in the Hallway. He stopped writing and looked at me out the top of his glasses and was tuned in. He said, “there is no way you’d know that! That happened before you even got here!” I was there waiting for my physical body to arrive. I asked if I could see or meet God. My grandmother looked around and just chuckled and said, “Baby he’s here! He’s everywhere! He’s Amazin!!’ God is awesome!” She started pointing and saying he’s here, he’s there, he’s here etc. everything I touched and saw just vibrated back love and happiness and absolute Joy and love. It was absolutely amazing! Changed my life FOREVER! To this day, I still possess the notebook I had asked my parent for when I woke up. I tried to write down everything I could remember from our conversation. So far, every single thing she said would happen, happened exactly how she said it would and when !!! She even told me to name my son Cameron. She said, “Well, you both decided on it already but I’m just reminding you of the deal you made!” Lol 😂
About 20 years ago I left my body and experienced the most profound peace and love possible. Oh! Forgot to mention that it happened just as I was about 15 feet away from hitting the side of a driveway culvert at 65 mph.
The next thing I knew, I was looking up from a stretcher in the hospital hallway, and heard/saw a nurse telling a highway patrolman that there were no drugs or alcohol in my blood. He told me that my pistol and ammunition were with the guard at the front desk and he left.
The nurse smiled and said, "Well, there you are! Here, take this brush, get in that shower and scrub the glass out of your scalp while you're still in shock. That way it won't hurt."😁
I did as she asked. It didn't hurt.
The Toyota 4 Runner seat belt and air bags had dine their jobs quite well, but my breastbone was sore as heck.
Then…I got the hiccups!
Every time I hiccupped, my breastbone hurt!
Each time, I laughed at the absurdity of it, and tears flowed down my cheeks!😂😅😅
I worked ICU for years. I had a patient recall his CODE in great detail. The craziest part was when he said, "l knew l was coming back when l heard Tom (the RN running the code) say, " I've got a rythm, I've got a Rythm."
As a Critical Care Physician myself, I think Dr. Bellg's lecture should be taught to Critical Care Fellows and Colleagues alike. So powerful! Thank you very much for bringing to light and validating your patient's experiences.
When I 'died' I was in a homogenous gray fog that was right up against me, could not see an inch past me. I felt as though I was suspended in the fog. I could not look down, I could not see myself but I knew the rest of my body was there. I was not moving, not that I was tied down but it was as if I was to remain there completely alone and complete nothingness. I became aware that this was where I would be for the rest of eternity. This scared me to no end.
I love what she said 'Honor her truth' it is very comforting, like a huge soft blanket. 'Honor her truth' it just opens the door to understanding not slams it in your face with 'you are just crazy'. Honor your truth.
I wonder…. if in not Near Death experience, but, highly traumatic life threatening situation does consciousness also do these jumps (I am going to call it Quantom Jump, for a lack of better name)- and I am not sure if the jump is to another dimension, or if a psychic veil falls, and so many other answers given – Is it a brain wave? I don't know – but – I am so interested, not necessarily NDE but far more interested in OBE. And I am Honoring my truth 🙂 thank you for that.
The experience was that a conciousness or entity manifested in front just to reassure me – it kept me company – it calmed me as if enchanted – this did not change my life – it has guided it –
I also felt that intense love and so many other experience – I need to know WHY can't it be something I experience All the time. If I know it exist, if I felt it and so many others have experienced it, (I am not alone with this experience), why can I not LIVE that love. (what button do I press? ) 🙂
I also want to achieve voluntary OBE and understand Conciousness… and I don't understand very much at all about states of consciousness. Is it…. Breath work, self hypnosis, brain wave to reach that level that amazing love vibration – I don't know…but I really want to, I really want to understand OBE and Remote Viewing
The thing I find most interesting (reassuring) about NDEs is the calmness or peacefullness which is experienced by the individual… Even when drowning or falling from height… Which most imagine to be a struggle.
I watched this video years ago – never left a comment about it…. I really like this Dr. & her way of conveying the experiences of her patients. She is subtly amazing! ❤
I wonder if anyone else finds themselves attracted to watching these videos about nde’s?
About 25 years ago I had an experience. It was evening, and I was alone on the couch in my living room crying and praying to God to help me because of a traumatic situation happening in my life at that time. I happened to be looking out of the window at the one streetlight in our small village that was on the corner about a half a block away. Suddenly the light of the streetlight came toward me with the appearance of an orb entering my living room within seconds and went into me thereby “lifting” me up off the couch, out and into another dimension (is my only way to explain it because I didn’t experience going through the ceiling or out of the house lol) but I definitely was not in my living room anymore. I saw other lights spinning quickly around me and there was a contrasting background darkness. Suddenly the person who was the source of trauma (my father who was alive at the time) was directly in front of me in spirit and we were connected there by an intense unbelievable pure love going through the both of us.
Then even more suddenly as it began, it abruptly ended by me feeling myself jolt back to the couch. This was a physical sensation. After I recovered from the shock of that experience, I realized I had received an answer from my prayers from God himself. I wasn’t really able to tell if it was an angel or Jesus himself that was in the orb. All I knew then was that this unbelievable experience would change my life forever. It gave me the knowledge that there is another dimension. That there is a God. A God who cares about every detail of our lives.
The people I have subsequently told about this experience just kind of look at me as though I’m crazy and some have told me it was just a dream or my imagination. I am guessing the reason I am attracted to watching nde videos is because I feel kind of alone knowing this profound truth and yet unable to actually give this joy to my loved ones. The biggest takeaway for me is that Love is the most important thing in life. Love others, forgive others when they hurt you, and be kind to others. Prayerfully ask forgiveness of others and God when you mess up, and then get up and move forward again. God is love.
A thought-provoking & interesting presentation.
Thank you! 🙏
This seems like a mess of inconsistent stories of different phenomena that aren't necessarily related. The story about "Carol" starting around the 23 minute mark especially isn't doing it for me. Why are we talking about a living person on a ventilator who was urinating into a bag as having the same kind of near death experience as someone who was pronounced clinically dead? At no point was "Carol" pronounced dead, or at no point did her heart stop. So we can immediately throw this story away, because it is by definition not an NDE. You can't be wandering around outside your body as a soul while still on a ventilator with vital signs. This massively conflicts with the standard NDE narrative. And as for the woman before that who "saw" the grandchild with the toy truck in the waiting room, someone who had come into the ICU to visit her could have easily talked about the child in her presence while she was under general anesthetic or asleep. These are very weak stories. C'mon!
Thank you IANDS for this platform to share NDE/OBE stories, and thank you Dr. Laurin Bellg for the wealth you're sharing
This could be a NEW ERA of HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS TO DIG DEEP INTO as an EXTENSION of QUANTUM Theoretical Physics Studies: A New Field of Study: NEAR DEATH PHYSICS.
We have QUANTUM THEORETICAL PHYSICS and study things we cannot see, HOW ABOUT a New Field of STUDY, We will call it: Near Death Experiences Theoretical Quantum PARANORMAL PHYSICS. Electronics Engineers and Quantum Physicists needs to invent new 'TRANSDUCERS, SENSORS, DETECTORS' in that region where the BOUNDARY when the 'SPIRIT ENERGY' leaves the biological body and how 'IT RETURNS' = If we can do this, this will be a scientific milestone for the 'knowledge revelation' to all of all the 'QUESTIONS giving ANSWERS' addressed in THIS VIDEO.
Great
Appreciate WITH respect
Dr. Laurin Bellg's shift from skepticism to acceptance regarding NDEs is compelling. Her firsthand experiences and detailed accounts lend a sense of legitimacy and believability to her testimony. It's fascinating to see how direct encounters and personal observations can transform even the most skeptical minds.
The thing is: I believe in these NDEs but I can’t come to terms with how tough people’s lives are while on Earth. It just seems like such an unpleasant period of strife, upset and fear. What’s the point of it all and then we get to go to paradise? I can see why people are doubtful about it all.
Let go of what has passed.
Let go of what may come.
Let go of what is happening now.
Don’t try to figure anything out.
Don’t try to make anything happen.
Relax, right now, and res
One of my favourite presentations on this subject matter. And you get to meet the lady who discovered the shoe on the ledge.
I just ordered her book, cant wait to read it
I didnt believe in any of this until my fiance and i were killed last November when a car ran a stop sign at 80mph into the side of my truck. She didnt make it and i somehow did but not before experiencing some of the most belief shattering things. Science has been destroyed and a year later as i continue to unpack that experience as well as the impossible things that have happened since i can only come to one simple conclusion…we are energy beings and we never truly die
"I recently shared a video on this topic on my channel. Search @thespiritpath if you're interested!"
I am 4th born, gay, recovering alcoholic son , that had a 10 month experience similar to the Bar story with my Mother after she passed away. My fears have been lesssened tremendouslly. Thank you! Greg
drowning in sorrow and darkness
I cry out to Jesus
Man….kyles story is way too relatable omg 😂
The one thing that amazes me is that, many years ago, Jesus tried to tell us about life eternal, and even back then, he was ridiculed. Now we have people dieing, and coming back to tell us of something that Jesus Christ has been trying to tell us about thousand's of years ago, and we must believe those people instead of believing Christ?
I lost my one and only very best soulmate at the beginning of this year. I wish with all my heart he could have come back and tell me what many are now telling us. But my guess is, it must be so nice there, that he chose not to come back. He died from septic shock. But boy let me tell you, I am battling like hell to come to terms with the loss of him. Because being visually impaired, I depended on him for much. Boy do I miss him!
Dr Bellg you are awesome!! ❤❤❤
Thank you!!!!
All white audience! Apartheid America lives!!
Is there any males in the comments section that has had an nde?
I lost my mom/best friend last year. She was only 62 when passed away unexpectedly due to stroke. I am a 44 year old woman with two kids who is shattered and lost with her. Will I really see her again? That’s the only hope that keeps me going
I’ve heard the shoe on the ledge story. So neat to hear the nurse who found it!!!
❤
What’s crazy is some people have these experiences and clinically die and the doctors try to hide that this happened.
Tropfu pubs avec cette vidéo! Insupportable! Adieu!
Even though nde's are mainstream, they're still not mainstream it's taking a long time to become acknowledged and accepted, thank you for your work🎉🎉🎉
Wow, Lee Witting, i listen him every week 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Trop de pubs stupides!
Can't stand to listen to it too much wasting time ain't getting to the point .
There just wanted to see how long they can talk
Thank you very much. Still as relevant after 9 years!
I appreciate her expertise w NDE stories. As a speaker, she is not enthusiastic…
