A near-death experience (NDE) is a personal experience associated with death or impending death. Such experiences may encompass a variety of sensations including detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, the experience of absolute dissolution, and the presence of a light.[1]

Definition

Ring (1980) classified NDE's on a 5 stage continuum:

  1. feelings of peace and contentment;
  2. a sense of detachment from the body;
  3. entering a transitional world of darkness (rapid movements through tunnels: 'the tunnel experience');
  4. emerging into bright light; and
  5. 'entering the light'.

Substance-induced near-death experience

Meditation-induced near-death experience (MI-NDE)
