    I have recently begun watching a new show called Surviving death. The show is centered around discovering if there really is life after death. It explores the science behind what it means to die, along with personal experiences.

    The first episode is mainly about near death experiences, also known as NDE. A near death experience is a profound experience associated with an impending death, which often shares similar characteristics. People who have had a near death experience, all describe a similar phenomenon. In the show, the people who were interviewed all talked about feeling a warm light, becoming free of pain, or becoming detached from their physical body and “floating” away. One of the participants interviewed had survived going over a waterfall in South America. After this incident, she had been found lifeless. Her heart had stopped, she had broken multiple bones, and she had water in her lungs. However, she had still survived. While she was unconscious, she describes floating through a field and feeling a calming energy. She said that while she was here, she never wanted to leave. Her experience is similar to many other people who have had a near death experience. This episode goes into more detail, with the experiences of others who have gone through the same things. 

    This is not the only topic that is discussed in the show. It also has episodes on psychic mediums, signs from the dead, seeing dead people, and reincarnation. I haven’t watched all of the episodes yet. However, I would recommend looking into it, if this is something that interests you.
