A Near-Death Experience: A Trip to the Other Side - Epiphany

In 2011, I had an extraordinary experience. 

A Trip to the Other Side

I had been feeling very tired all week and decided to rest on Sunday. I was in bed for a couple of hours when I suddenly got up and went to my kitchen, standing on the sink for a glass of water, when suddenly there was a very strong wave of intense heat going up from my feet and a flame totally enveloping me. I briefly thought of self-combustion, after which I blacked out and collapsed, like when you take a photograph with a camera, and lost consciousness in this reality, but became aware of an inner reality. 

Epiphany

I knew I was falling, but could not do anything to stop it, through an enclosed cylindrical space, rather dark, but not black, and felt very comfortable. Suddenly, there was the realization that there was no Fear, that the only reality is the Divine Reality of God and all the rest is an Illusion.

All worries about this and that, things which I feared I may not be able to finish, regrets about not having done this or that, all had fallen away and I felt I really did not care about them. I was ready to go and leave all that behind, I still feel this. I have no attachments though I dearly love my things. 

By that time, I hit the floor after what felt like an eternity, luckily on my bottom, with extreme force of gravity and I felt that my body was broken up and my bones all scattered in the air.

The impact brought me back into this reality,feeling very confused and glued, and somehow I thought "What happened?" but could not get up for some time.  I did not dare to try to get up. I did not know whether I was still in one piece.

Eventually, with difficulty, I got up and made myself a cup of coffee and went back to bed. For three to four months I felt mentally very confused and physically weak and was not able to work much.

It took me over three years to recover, during which time I was only operational fifty per cent of my capacity,  and felt and knew that if this happened again I would not survive a second time.

I do not regret this experience and am grateful I had it.

THE OPENING OF A KUNDALINI  ENERGY CHANNEL

A few years later, I related this experience to a Tibetan Master during a workshop, and was told that it was the first opening of a Kundaklini energy channel. Since I did not have the guidance of a Guru/Master in the flesh on the earth plane, even though I had excellent Guides in Spirit, he advised me to stop or do less meditation. It was too risky to continue in the circumstances.
