She DIED at 5 — Then Says a STARSEED Consciousness Entered Her Body with Nicola Light

She DIED at 5 — Then Says a STARSEED Consciousness Entered Her Body with Nicola Light

What if the beginning of our spiritual life does not always arrive as a revelation, but as a mystery we spend decades slowly remembering? In this profound conversation, we welcome Nicola Light, a spiritual teacher and intuitive who describes herself as a multidimensional and starseed consciousness whose awakening unfolded through a childhood near-death experience, energy healing, meditation, psychic development, and what she believes are connections with galactic aspects of herself. Her story begins when she was only five years old, long before she had language for spirituality, consciousness, or anything beyond the physical world.

Nicola says she drowned during a family trip to the beach in England. She had jumped into a section of water that was much deeper than expected and, being a very small child, was unable to get herself out. A young man resuscitated her on the beach, and she remembers opening her eyes surrounded by people. Unlike many near-death experiences, Nicola does not describe a vivid tunnel, brilliant light, or detailed encounter with another realm. Instead, she says fragments of information have slowly returned to her over time. What she now believes is that the event created an opening through which a deeper galactic or multidimensional aspect of her consciousness became integrated into her embodied life.

She describes this through the language of starseeds and multidimensionality. In Nicola’s understanding, consciousness may express through more than the individual human identity we see in the mirror. She believes some people carry connections with what she calls galactic families, and that these aspects can become more accessible as we heal, expand our awareness, and create space within ourselves. Nicola identifies her primary connection as Pleiadian, but she emphasizes that people may connect with multiple lineages rather than belonging to a single fixed identity. For her, these ideas are less about collecting spiritual labels and more about remembering a deeper architecture of consciousness.

The next major turning point arrived around age forty, when Nicola experienced what she describes as a significant life trauma and a dark night of the soul. As so often happens on the spiritual path, the life that had once seemed solid began asking deeper questions. She turned toward meditation, Reiki, and energy healing. Then the unusual experiences began. She says information arrived during meditative and near-sleep states through images, sounds, verbal impressions, and what she calls coded or cryptic downloads. Rather than receiving everything at once, she describes the process as gradual, almost as though understanding was being drip-fed at a pace she could actually integrate.

Yet awakening did not initially feel peaceful. Nicola openly shares that she thought she might be losing her mind. Her family noticed the changes as well. She was spending hours meditating at the bottom of the garden, sensing spirits, noticing shadowy presences, and receiving information she could not explain intellectually. She says the ego reacted strongly because part of its role is to keep us anchored in familiar human reality. The unknown feels dangerous to the personality because the personality survives through predictability. But as Nicola became more accustomed to these experiences, the fear began to settle. What once seemed impossible gradually became part of her everyday understanding of herself.

One especially powerful moment occurred during a group meditation. Nicola says she suddenly felt a massive angelic presence standing behind her. At first she resisted the experience, questioning whether it could possibly be real. But when others in the group began describing similar sensations, her curiosity deepened. Later, during Reiki training and healing work, she says her hands began moving intuitively and unfamiliar symbols appeared beyond the traditional Reiki symbols she had been taught. She also describes seeing fairies, dragons, and other energetic or symbolic beings enter her awareness. Instead of immediately shutting these experiences down, she decided to keep exploring them.

What emerges from Nicola’s story is an invitation to see awakening as a process rather than a single dramatic event. She believes there are layers of consciousness that become available as we heal enough to hold them. In that sense, spiritual evolution is not simply adding more information to the mind. It is creating enough inner space for a deeper level of experience to emerge. Nicola describes this as remembering rather than learning. The wisdom, in her view, is already present within us, encoded within consciousness itself, waiting for the conditions that allow it to awaken.

SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS

  • Stay open to the mystery. Not every spiritual experience arrives in a form the mind can immediately explain.
  • Healing creates space. Nicola believes deeper awareness becomes available as we work through the layers that keep us contracted.
  • Remember who you are. Her central invitation is to move beyond the surface identity and explore the deeper dimensions of consciousness.

Perhaps the spiritual journey is not about becoming something new at all. Perhaps it is about gradually removing everything that prevents us from recognizing what has always been there. Nicola’s story moves from a childhood encounter with death into decades of questioning, healing, meditation, and extraordinary experiences that challenged her understanding of reality. Whether we interpret those experiences literally, symbolically, psychologically, or spiritually, the deeper message remains beautifully simple: consciousness may be far larger than the identity we have been taught to call ourselves. And if that is true, then awakening may simply be the long, strange, and beautiful process of remembering what we forgot when we arrived here.

Tell me what your life was like before you died.

Nicola Light 0:08
When I was five, so there was not much time beforehand. And to be absolutely honest with you, I really don't have much recollection of my early childhood. And most people maybe would say, well, maybe you don't get an awful lot of time previous to that. But it really is, you know, when I sort of speak to other people about when they remember as a child at this age, at this age, and I'm thinking, I don't have any recollection of any of it, which is really very interesting. It was at the beach actually, so I went with my family. Would always go to the beach in England, but at the beaches in England, sometimes they would have sort of quite sort of big sort of molds that would go down. I don't know what they're called, but and then there was these sort of like little gaps in between that you would jump off one side into the puddle and then to the other. And I decided to go this way, and with jumping this way, it was very very deep, and I was a very sort of small child, and it was very, very deep water. And I was brought back to life again on the beach by a young guy that resuscitated me. And I just remember sort of opening my eyes and seeing a big group of people around me wondering what would what went on. So my near death experience didn't really sort of hold an awful lot of remembrance with it, but I get sort of sparks of information that keeps coming back the more that I move on with my journey. So the near-death experience sort of came in and out, but there's different little sort of little entwinements within it with what I'm sort of starting to understand in this now moment, with what actually goes on with these sort of integrations of might we call sort of star seeds and light workers, so we put these little labels on ourselves, and what happens sometimes, what happens is, in my understanding of it, is that a child may come in into the embodied state, so birthed with a physical body, and then there may be a bit of an intervention with a star seed, a galactic being that would then embrace and move into that incarnation and transfer the consciousness into being a star seed upon the planet. So some star seeds aren't actually birthed through the birthing canal; they come in and jump in at different phases. And in my belief system, is that's when my download of data of galactic self came in. So the main thing is the alliance with the aspects of myself, which I would call a multi-dimensional aspect, and these aspects sit in the in the higher realms of understanding. So we could sort of perceive them to be in different dimensional time and space. And with those aspects of ourselves, we we align to who we are through our structure of our DNA and the availability to open ourselves up into the next level of evolution of humanity. So the availability to download the data has been experienced through the time of my awakening. So if you could imagine, then at the age of about 40, I had a big sort of life trauma. So we we go into that wonderful dark night of the soul when things start to like this is this feels really strange. And then you start then into the meditation and the journey sort of encroached into sort of awareness of energy healing, Reiki healing, things like that. And then gradually, I was getting these upgrades of intelligence coming in during and near to my sleep state and meditations, and the information that's sort of coming in is all coming in from encoded cryptic messages, whether it comes in from sight or through sound or through verbal hearing data downloads. We get downloads of data. Now, with that, all of this information starts to then sort of increase and ignite that inner light wisdom within me to then start to come online to those multi-dimensional aspects. So, from the very beginning of that stage of the the seeding of the light seed, and then the DNA structure with my lineage enabled me to sort of tap into my mediumship and my psychic abilities, and then slowly the next level came in. The next level came in.

Nicola Light 4:32
The next level came in, where I started to sort of download. And once I reached a level of understanding, I had to push through the next level of my healing, and then go deeper into myself to create space. And within that space, I was then allowed to allowed to download more information about myself. So another aspect of myself came in, and then that enabled me to then remember an awful lot of stuff, which is slowly. Being drip-fed to me, so it's not like a big bombardment of information, but it's me putting information together without me having prior knowledge of it or studying any particular sort of religious context or you know sort of guru information that might come in through books and and and watching video content, it just sort of comes in, and then all of a sudden, I just know, and I'm like, oh, okay. So it's that gradual process of this is sort of starting to increase, which is fabulous because then you you understand it through experience rather than knowledge of mind. So my soul's journey was sort of has a incremental sort of if you could imagine this the brightest of light and and then the the descension into a physical form through galactic lineages. So the Palladian aspect of myself was downloaded from a star seed system. So that's my primary focus of origin. So, will we say, "Oh, where do we come from? Where's my star seed origin from? We have a primary focus of descent. So, that is my go-to inner guidance, and so that came in at the near-death experience and has increased as I've gone through different phases of the evolution of understanding and healing myself, and then different aspects of myself coming. So we're looking at a multidimensionality here, rather than just sort of thinking, "Oh, I'm just plugged into Pleiadians and that's it. There are many star seeds on the planet that are able to connect to a multitude of star seed galactic families. So, which is really exciting that more and more people are starting to come online, so we can hold more intelligence within us to be that pure conduit of light, and then we can then shift humanity, the collective field, to assist more and more people to awaken, which is another part of my journey. So it's terribly exciting to slowly uncover who am I? Honestly, the the very beginning of my journey when I started feeling that I was going crazy was quite a profound moment in my life, and my family really felt it as well. They thought I was going. I was going to cart me off to the loony bin, you know. And really was. It was the ego. It was the ego that always restricts us. It's the the understanding of trying to fit in, you know, and trying to be part of the the herd mentality to you know sort of to be normal. And when you start then meditating sort of four five hours at the bottom of the garden and wanting everybody to be very quiet, and then starting getting this information and starting feeling spirit coming in from the side and getting visitations from sort of ghosts and dark shadow beings and you know all that goes with it and then these downloads and hearing comes in and you're like oh my god I'm going completely bonkers and it really is quite crazy but the ego-what it does is it keeps us anchored into being human. And the ascension is about, after all, the upgrade of human. And that aspect of ourselves needs needs to consider it from an ego perspective, or it's fight or flight. So you know, it's trying to keep us safe here. So we must sort of look through the ego into a high perspective, but as soon as you start getting information that starts to be downloaded into your field, and it starts becoming a normal process, then the ego's ego starts to settle with it. I remember the very first time I sat in a big meditation with a group of people, and I felt a being behind me, and it was this big angelic being. And I sat there, and every time I went to this a meditation circle, I started to cry. I always cried, always was releasing, always releasing to make space. And then I felt this being behind me.

Nicola Light 8:55
It was this massive, great big angelic. And I thought, Are you sure? Are you sure? No, no, no, no. And then others were speaking about it, and I was thinking, well, if they're feeling it, and I felt it because I've experienced it, then whoa. So it intrigued me, and it made me sort of feel like, what's next then? What's what's next, real? And then when I did my Reiki courses, and I sort of did Reiki one and two, and started then sort of starting bringing in energy and awareness of that. My hands started moving about like crazy. I was thinking that's a little bit weird. And then these codes started sort of formulating. So if anyone sort of done Reiki, they would understand like you know the chakra rays, like a number seven, and then like this, and all the seihe key, and all of those symbols. And I was like, well, okay, so there's the symbols for Reiki, and as I'm doing the energy healing with you know in the beginning of my healing journey, healing others, I then started coding over the top, and I was thinking, well, that's cool, that's really good. And then things like you know, sort of little fairies came on board and sat on the shoulder, and I'm like, no, that's really crazy. And then seeing visions or big dragons enter my healing room, so I was like, okay, am I going to push through this? Am I just going to let shut it? Now, as the human starts to evolve through their journey of awareness, self-awareness, we start to spark within us this seeding, and the seed comes from that the star seed, so star galactic from the DNA structure of the infrastructure of the beingness of the makeup of physicality, and that seed within us starts the inner light wisdom that spark within us starts to ignite, and that's the growth of humanity. This is what we're going through the ascension journey. We're starting to remember who we are far more from the mind perspective through the two eyes and the five senses. We're moving deeper, deeper into who am I, which is holding so many different layers and seedlings to start to grow within us. So just be open to receive that next level to you to then grow in and evolve within your soul's journey. So that soul growth learning is what I would say. Is just keep pushing through. Just keep remembering who you are.
