BONUS MONDAYS: Studied Over 4000 NDEs; What I Discovered SHOCKED Me to the CORE! with Dr. PMH Atwater

Next Level Soul Podcast with Alex Ferrari

In the vast expanse of human experience, few journeys are as profound and transformative as those encountered on the edge of life and death. On today's episode, we welcome Dr. PMH Atwater, a pioneer in the study of near-death experiences (NDEs), particularly in children. Her work illuminates the mysterious realms that lie beyond our physical existence and offers profound insights into the nature of life, death, and consciousness.Dr. Atwater's journey into the realm of NDEs began with her own profound experiences. She died three times within three months, each experience different yet transformative. From these harrowing encounters, she emerged with a mission, guided by what she describes as "the voice like none other"—a voice that was not a guardian or an archangel, but a presence as vast as the universe itself. This voice tasked her with researching and documenting the near-death phenomenon, leading to her prolific career.Her research has unveiled remarkable patterns, especially among children who have had near-death experiences. Unlike adults, children often describe their experiences with a simplicity and purity that is both enlightening and heart-wrenching. Dr. Atwater's findings reveal that many children who experience NDEs between birth and the age of five exhibit extraordinary mental and artistic abilities as they grow. Yet, despite their advanced capabilities, a significant number of these children struggle with the desire to return to the other side, feeling a profound sense of displacement in this world.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS

1. The Nature of Light: Dr. Atwater's research highlights three distinct types of light experienced by children during NDEs: a powerful, non-specific light; a nurturing black light with purplish tinges; and a communicative white light sometimes interlaced with gold or silver. Children describe these lights as emanating from a greater "God light," with the black and white lights representing mother and father energies, respectively. This classification underscores the diverse and deeply personal nature of spiritual experiences.
2. The Importance of Visualization: One of Dr. Atwater's most practical and profound findings is the power of visualization techniques for child experiencers. Teaching children how to visualize can help them navigate their longing to return to the other side, allowing them to reconnect with the profound sense of love and belonging they experienced during their NDEs while also grounding them in their earthly lives.
3. The Concept of Home: The sense of "home" is a recurring theme in Dr. Atwater's work. For many child experiencers, the other side feels more like home than the physical world. This longing for home can lead to significant emotional challenges, including PTSD and a persistent desire to return to the other side. Addressing this deep-seated yearning is crucial for their emotional and spiritual well-being.

Dr. Atwater's work with children reveals that their near-death experiences often involve encounters with beings, lights, and realms that defy conventional understanding. For example, some children report meeting a "council of elders" or experiencing a life review that includes not only their actions but also the ripple effects of their thoughts and presence on the environment and others. These experiences offer profound lessons on the interconnectedness of all life and the far-reaching impact of our thoughts and actions.In her book "The Forever Angels," Dr. Atwater delves into the unique characteristics of child NDEs and how these experiences shape their lives. One striking finding is that many child experiencers, despite their advanced mental abilities, often feel out of place in this world and struggle with a deep sense of loss and longing for the other side. This highlights the need for greater awareness and support for children who have had NDEs, helping them integrate their experiences in a healthy and constructive manner.Dr. Atwater's own journey through three near-death experiences and her subsequent research has provided invaluable insights into the nature of life and death. Her work emphasizes that our experiences on the other side are deeply personal and varied, reflecting our individual spiritual paths. She advocates for a greater understanding of these experiences and the development of supportive practices, such as visualization, to help those who have had NDEs navigate their unique journeys.In conclusion, the conversation with Dr. PMH Atwater offers a profound glimpse into the mysteries of near-death experiences, particularly in children. Her research underscores the importance of recognizing and supporting the unique needs of child experiencers, helping them integrate their extraordinary experiences into their earthly lives. Dr. PMH Atwater's work is a testament to the profound interconnectedness of all life and the enduring power of love and light.
