## Resource

Michael Florman died eight times. A cardiac arrest on the way to work launched him into one of the most vivid NDE experiences ever described — leaving his body, floating above paramedics, racing through a glowing valley, and entering a dark, peaceful void filled with unconditional love and acceptance. His near death experience even included a life review where he felt the emotional impact of his actions on others, all before being violently shocked back to life mid-NDE. But coming back wasn't easy. Heightened empathy, memory loss, and years of depression followed as Michael struggled to find meaning in ordinary life after experiencing something extraordinary. His message to anyone fearing death? You are not your body — you're the energy inside it, and that energy never dies. A must-listen episode.
