#13 Children and the Near Death-Experience With PMH Atwater

in , , ,

Dr. P.M.H. Atwater, L.H.D. is an international authority on near death experiences. A survivor of 3 near-death episodes herself, she has completed over 38 years of research on the subject, and has written 18 books, including her most recent book, “The Forever Angels: Near Death Experiences in Childhood and Their Lifelong Impact”. In her quest for knowledge she has interviewed over 5000 people, including young children who have had such experiences, and older adults who have lived their lives after NDEs. Her immersion in the topic has led her to the firm belief that the near-death experience is not an anomaly, but part of a consciousness transformation or “brain shift”. In this interview, you will learn about how children describe their glimpses of the divine and the many ways their lives are affected as they move forward.

Dr. Atwater’s exuberance is infectious, and her passion for her subject knows no bounds!

“Our souls make certain we remember who we are so we can always make our way back to the lifestream.

God’s breath is what keeps the universe alive.”
— P.M.H. Atwater, Quoting Children

NOTES:

  • Children process near-death experiences much differently than adults do. They typically see a series of three very different lights, and there is always a “father figure” of some sort, as well as animals and birds.

  • When talking to young children after an NDE it is crucial to get down on their level and never have your eyes be above theirs, so that they don’t talk to please the adult.

  • Children find it challenging to be back in “real life” when others don’t understand. There is a longing to return to the light.

  • The near-death experience suggests that there is not an afterlife, but an ongoing life stream.

  • A devastating tornado in Missouri resulted in many children experiencing a phenomena of “butterfly people” who saved them from being caught in the tornado. Could these be angels?

  • Very important to let these children (of NDEs) talk and express themselves; prayer, rituals, centerpieces and alters are encouraged.

  • Accept children on their level and realize the truth in what they say. Respect, honor and don’t judge; allow a child to be a child.

  • Biggest lesson for Dr. Atwater: She is at ease wherever she goes, even in scary places, and has strong trust in her inner guidance.

  • There is much more information on Dr. Atwater’s website, including links to her books as well as a free monthly newsletter.
