“The further outward I expanded, the less unusual it felt to be in this miraculous state–in fact, I had no awareness of it being out of the ordinary.  It all seemed perfectly natural to me at the time.  I continued to be fully aware of every detail of every procedure that was being administered to me, while to the outside world I appeared to be in a coma.

I continued to sense myself expanding further and further outward, drawing away from my physical surroundings.  It was as though I were no longer restricted by the confines of space and time, and continued to spread myself out to occupy a greater expanse of consciousness.  I felt a sense of freedom and liberation that I’d never experienced in my physical life before.  I can only describe this as the combination of a sense of joy mixed with a generous sprinkling of jubilation and happiness.  It stemmed from being released from my sick and dying body, a feeling of jubilant emancipation from all the pain that my illness had caused me.

As I continued to plunge deeper into the other realm, expanding outward, becoming everyone and everything, I felt all my emotional attachments to my loved ones and my surroundings slowly fall away.  What I can only describe as superb and glorious unconditional love surrounded me,  wrapping me tight as I continued to let go.  The term ‘unconditional love’ really doesn’t do justice to the feeling, as these words have been overused to the point of having lost their intensity.  But the physical battle I’d fought for so very long had finally released its strong hold on me, and I had a beautiful experience of freedom.

It didn’t fell as though I’d physically gone somewhere else–it was more as though I’d awakened.  Perhaps I’d finally been roused from a bad dream.  My soul was finally realizing its true magnificence!  And in doing so, it was expanding beyond my body and this physical world.  It expanded further and further outward until it encompassed not only this existence, but continued to expand into another realm that was beyond this time and space, and at the same time included it.

Love, joy, ecstasy and awe poured into me, through me, and engulfed me.  I was swallowed up and enveloped in more love than I ever knew existed……………”.

This an excerpt from Chapter 7 of Anita Moojani’s book, Dying To Be Me, where she describes her experience of being in a coma from the effects of four years of cancer.  This book is so beautiful, uplifting and has been a gift to read!   Sending you some love inspiration today 🙂
