Several years ago, I had an experience that changed my life. Whether it was a Near Death Experience or an Out of Body Experience, I do not know… At the time, my health was not good, but I didn’t know what was wrong. I know now that I was weakened from anemia and hypothyroidism. I do have OBE’s (Out of Body Experiences) often when I am exhausted.

I went to bed one evening in 1995. I was very tired, fell fast asleep and the following occurred:

A place opened up above me with a brilliant, white, misty Light streaming from it. The Light was extremely bright, but it didn’t hurt my eyes. I was moving toward the opening quickly and suddenly, I was in the Light…

Before me, a row of tall, lush sunflowers created a fence of sorts. I had the distinct impression that I was absolutely NOT to go beyond that border of sunflowers.

Standing behind, looking over the flowers were what appeared to be Beings made of Light. They had a human body shape, but there were no facial features. Rather I was seeing a silhouette that was made of just Light. Around the edges, an aura of a brighter, white Light radiated.

Although no words were spoken - I KNEW who they were, God, Jesus and Angels. I knew what they were thinking or trying to project to me. I knew to my very core that they were expecting me. These Spirits knew that I was coming for a visit and were waiting for me. Again, they didn’t communicate verbally, I just KNEW these things without any doubt. It’s hard to explain unless you’ve experienced it.

The Spirits were projecting thoughts and feelings to me, and I could feel what it was that they were expressing to me. I felt the most wonderful Love pouring into me. I began sobbing from the relief and joy of it because it was so wonderful.

It felt like the Love was filling up every cell in my body until they were about to burst. I felt no judgment from these Beings of Love, just totally enveloped in this warm, caring, tender love. They impressed upon me that the most important thing here is living from that LOVE. Love with all your heart, love everyone and everything. Make all your choices from this place of Love.

Then, I was zooming back, looking at the open space and watching it become smaller until it was gone.

When I awoke, I was still overcome from the feelings and wonder of it. I couldn’t stop thinking or talking about the experience. I had to find out what happened to me. I had heard of near-death experiences before, but hadn’t really delved into it. Now, I could not get enough stories to read. I was amazed to find people recounting stories with similarities to my experience!

This experience, whatever it was, changed my life. My passion is helping people to find this Love - the Light that lives within everyone’s Heart - hence my business name, HeartLight. We are all a part of this Love for it is our very essence, our Spirit.
