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