#87 What Near Death Experiences Can Teach Us with Barbara Bartolome

In episode #87, our guest is Barbara Bartolome, a double NDE survivor and Founder and Director of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) group in Santa Barbara, CA. She has been on the NBC Today show, and in multiple documentaries, podcasts, and radio shows. Today, we'll be talking about how her NDEs contributed to her life and what we can learn from these events. What we observed:

Her NDE in 1987 was during a medical test before surgery.
She could view her body from overhead and watched the doctors try to revive her.
She was aware that she had died but felt completely calm, without worry as she looked down at her body and watched her own flatline.
She felt a presence that “felt like God next to her” and began to say how she needed to go back to her children while watching the medical team try to resuscitate her below.
Most people who are near-death experiencers don't talk about it right away.
Near-Death Experiencers often report an increased level of intuitive/ psychic abilities
