What is a near-death experience?

A near-death experience, or NDE, is a profound spiritual event reported by people who came close to death or were declared clinically dead. Experiencers often describe leaving the body, entering a realm of light, meeting loved ones, and receiving a life review. Many return with a new sense of purpose and far less fear of death. Related ideas include the shared death experience, and you can look up unfamiliar terms in the Spiritual Glossary.
