Today’s discussion is all about near-death experiences — otherwise known as NDEs. People who have had NDEs often gain a profound insight and an incredible understanding of life. For Howard, his own transformational experience provided him with the liberating knowing that life does not end with ‘death’. This realization positively impacted his sense of awareness, his everyday mindfulness , and the way in which he views the world.

Joining Howard today to take a deep-dive into the fascinating topic of near-death experiences are two experts in the field, Nancy Rynes and Jeff Janssen. Nancy is a leader in teaching the wisdom of NDE’s. Through her book, “Awakenings From The Light: 12 Life Lessons From A Near Death Experience“ she teaches others about her experience and how to live a more conscious, joyful, and spiritually-inspired life. Jeff Janssen, Howard’s second guest is also an expert in the field. After almost suffering from what is known as the ‘widowmaker heart attack’ at 42 years old, Jeff sought answers to life's biggest questions. On this quest he went on to research over 2500 people around the world who all had an NDE, eventually leading him to write his book, 10 Life-Changing Lessons from Heaven.

Nancy and Jeff share their Knowledge in detail; their profound realizations, lessons, and insights; as well as the not-so-scary truth of coming face-to-face with what lies beyond.

“The main [realization] that hit me right away [after my near-death experience] was just [this] sense of connection and oneness to all beings — not just my family, not just my friends, and not just a material connection — but ... a deep-seated, energetic, spiritual connection to everybody.” — Nancy Rynes
