The Near Death Experience (NDE), a term coined by philospher and psychiatrist Raymond Moody, is carefully explained in an enthralling interview of Associate Professor Natasha Tassell-Matamua. We examine her own personal experience where she left her body and returned, a most phenomenal story, as well as details on my son's NDE episode at Mount Maunganui beach. This topic is inspiring and mysterious at the same time, and Natasha does a wonderful job walking us through it.
