NDE After Traumatic Brain Injury | Healing Download, Heavenly Choice & Miraculous Recovery
IANDS

Kristen Schneider grew up close to her mother, a medium, and immersed in spirituality. But even this background could not sustain her when, in 2024, following a severe traumatic brain injury, she spent two weeks in physical agony, hovering between life and death and wishing for the relief of death — when she had a series of near-death experiences that culminated not only in her survival and healing but also in an exponential growth of her spiritual gifts.
Kristen shares how a devastating TBI left her unable to eat, drink, or sleep before she found herself moving between this world and a realm of overwhelming unconditional love. She describes a profound choice to return for her daughter, vivid visions of possible futures, and an incredible "energetic healing download" that she believes transformed her recovery. Kristen also discusses psychic aftereffects, heightened intuition, communication with deceased loved ones, and the lifelong challenge of integrating an NDE into everyday life.

What is an NDE?
A near-death experience (NDE) is typically a profound, life changing, intensely emotional experience that usually occurs during a clinical crisis and has common characteristics and aftereffects. It is not a dream, hallucination, or mental illness (Greyson, 1983). There are no predictive variables to identify who will have an NDE. They happen to people of all ages, religions, socio-economic groups, cultures, educational backgrounds, and belief systems. They occur under a variety of circumstances such as accidents, near-drownings, illnesses, combat, surgical procedures, and childbirth. Following an NDE, experiencers (NDErs) often display some common aftereffects. Research has established a set of common NDE characteristics and long-term aftereffects. Theories used to explain near-death experiences in purely physical terms have been proven inadequate by NDE researchers and others.

I personally understand how much bravery it takes to trust yourself and your gifts. I still haven’t got there yet but just having the knowing already is such a stable foundation to be able to be in this life. An unseen amazing tool🥰💐💝
Also, any comments that try to take away that light you shine, just let them be water of a ducks back 😉
For the most part I've kept my experiences to myself since this body's age of 6.
I was already aware by that time that those thinking of themselves as professionals were the same kind of characters participating in inquisitions.
my brain injury similar experiences regarding the energy moving through the back of my skull
I'm a medium psychic shamanic healing
I didn't want to leave I was surrounded by 13 white beings .. they said you need to go back...
I remember the bright white light this was my 2 nd NDE...
