I could not put this book down!! A beautiful and down to earth compelling story.Anita portrays so well what happens when we live a life to conform and then live a life true to our soul. She very cleverly marries the 2 lives from before and after her NDE!I thoroughly recommend this book, especially to every empath and HSP!!Thank you Anita for telling us your incredible story and that you’re now finally living your best life and steering us on how we can too! Thank You!

Excellent read

Interesting story, I've been through an NDE from illness too, though I had a different experience and didn't remember much of the actual NDE just the seriousness of the choice I had to make. The research website and support groups listed in this book that helped this nice lady, ignored me, I had no response and was ignored by groups I tried to join to talk. Which is a shame because I would have enjoyed talking to people who have been through similar stuff. I was lucky I had my nan though and she believed me so that meant something. I believe some similar stuff to the author of this book. I had a hard time with what I went through, and didn't have the I feel adored thing, I have in other experiences in life. My nan had a typical loving NDE of meeting family and angels and feeling loved NDEs. Mine was more a serious choice about coming back or starting over as a baby and I had the not being anywhere feeling too. I've found one other person online who went through similar NDE to me, I had to talk a lot to find anyone. I'm just writing this incase anyone else reads these stories because they feel totally on the outside to so many people and it's hard to find others when we don't fit what narrative certain organisations stick to. Like I said, I respect and enjoy different views and experiences and just wanted to add mine incase anyone needs to find it. It took me around twenty years to feel better with it and yeah I had guides and people show up and help me in my life. I don't feel totally unloved and I know I'm a good enough person. I just feel confused by it all, and on the outside a lot. It's not something I enjoy talking about or bring up much irl. I have moments I'm happy and moments I feel like why did I choose this. Random fantasy TV shows and books, helped. That whole Buffy once more with feeling thing where they say life is just living, the pain that you feel only can heal by living. It was very helpful.

A very well thought out book. It brought the atmosphere of what life was like of the Sindhi community in Hong Kong at the time. It also brings an interesting perspective that having love for your world, those around you and your ancestors together with letting go of your personal pressures can actually assist your healing from cancer. I have not finished reading the book, but it would be good to have some references to other people around the world with near death experiences to show that they had come to similar perspectives. Although, I must say Anita's vivid description is very convincing. The doctors and consultants around the world clearly have a way to go to get a handle on why this works. They would say early days I guess. Anyway, Anita sounds like a lovely lady.

I’ve just finished reading this fascinating book, all I can say it’s a page turner and I just couldn't put it down.Over the past 10 years, I’ve read 100s of near death experiences, however, this is one of the best I’ve come across. The strong urge of this subject has always interested me and even more now that my mum passed away two years ago.Anita takes you on a journey from her childhood experiences, how she met her husband, her father and best friend passing away and why she got cancer in the first place.Interestingly, during her coma, she went outside of her body and saw every detail, every medical procedure of what the Drs were doing and even the conversations the Drs had down the hall.Not only that, while she was in the other realm / reality, her Consciousness expanded into a state of no space, no time, no limitations, just pure awareness without the limitations of the body. While in that state she had the presence of her father (who died 10 years prior) and he said that it's not her time, that he's been watching over their family since he passed. While she was in that state, she knew if she decided to return back to her sick body that her body will heal from the cancer and guess what...3 days later she was fully healed!!! the Drs and all the medical staff were in a state of shock and said she should of been dead!!It’s essential to put down your beliefs, preconceptions and just read this book with an open mind without any judgement.I’ve always felt in my core being that we are much more than our physical bodies, that there is much more to our level of awareness or perception that we experience with our physical 5 senses. An inner knowing that we are ALL connected as One Infinite Consciousness having different experiences. After reading this book it just confirms to me this level of understanding. In fact, I’m even more convinced now that there is indeed an “after life.” In addition, “heaven” or “hell” is not a place, but a state of being without qualities and polarities. God is not a separate being…but a state of being too that transcends the ego.If you are suffering from a terminal illness or know anybody that is…I strongly recommend reading this book. It has given me a sense of healing and reassurance of just expressing my true Infinite Self fearlessly via unconditional Love.Peace & Infinite Love to ALL!

This book is very profound and truly resonated with me. It brought me some amazing new insights as well as a lot of recognition having been going through metastatic breast cancer, completely debilitated in a wheelchair an diapers, but came back from that. Having had that experience, books like this are important. To remind me of my inner power, of our power as human beings. So to not give up when doctors give you a very dark prognosis, no chance of survival. I felt trapped and did not see a way out but knew there had to be. And there is. There always is. But also our view of death needs to change. Its not something to fear and just as much part of life as being born. But I am not ready here. I am here because I want to be. Because I want to enjoy all of life's beauty. And after facing death, it truly is more intense and you see the beauty in all the small, but actually really big, things of life. Sometimes I get trapped in the fear again. Afraid it will come back and hurt me again. Then books like this remind me that I am my body and disease is just a consequence of our emotions. Then I let go of trying to control everything and let life unfold itself. Knowing that whatever happens, all is well and just part of a story. That we never truly die.

Brilliant Read that explains NDE in detail.

I am really glad I read this book. I have had the title of the book for about several years to look into but have never gotten around to purchasing it until about 3 weeks ago. When I started reading the book I could not put it down. I would stay up till 3am reading the book. This book has given me stools I needed to move forward in life. Thank you Anita for letting God use you as a vessel to bring us back to who we are.

Since A Hundred Years of Solitude and The Godfather, I did not feel the need to reread a book immediately after I finished it. With the great difference that this narrative is not fiction, it tells a personal and intimate story about the experiences and discoveries about the personal universe of a woman about to die, who defy truths proposed by different religions and by science. I highly recommend it.Desde Cien Años de Soledad y El Padrino, que no sentía la necesidad de volver a leer un libro inmediatamente después que lo terminé. Con la gran diferencia que esta narrativa no es ficción, cuenta una historia personal e íntima sobre las vivencias y descubrimientos sobre el universo personal de una mujer a punto de morir, que desafían verdades propuestas por las diferentes religiones y por la ciencia. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

I read this book many years ago and got so much out of it. Back then this book helped me come to terms with my father dying some 40 years ago. I wish it had been around when he died,Because I struggled so much with him dying. This 2nd time reading the book has helped me in my personal spiritual journey and understanding the importance of letting stuff go and to stop being so negative and fearful! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Anita.
