Valuing near-death experiences

Description

Valuing near-death experiences involves systematically recognizing and integrating the insights and transformative effects reported by individuals who have faced life-threatening situations. This strategy aims to harness these experiences to promote psychological healing, foster resilience, and encourage positive behavioral change. By legitimizing and utilizing near-death narratives in therapeutic, educational, and community settings, it addresses issues of trauma, existential anxiety, and social isolation, offering practical pathways for personal and collective growth.

Implementation

The International Association for Near Death Studies encourages research and discussion, and spreads information about near death experiences (NDE) and their implications, especially among hospitals, hospices, nursing homes, religious organizations and other institutions concerned with death and bereavement, It also supports and counsels those having had an near-death experience and their families.
