Children Who Have Near-Death Experiences – Birth To Six Years

Adults and children who have a near-death experience before the age of six display similar patterns with scenarios and aftereffects, but they are worlds apart in how the phenomenon affects them – both at the moment and over time. The majority are born aware and awake of being in the womb, of life before this one, even of other families, other homes, other worlds. Meaning does not interest them.

The world is in turmoil and upheaval. Everything seems to be whirling out of control. How can we overcome all the struggles and challenges that humanity faces? Where do we find the strength and courage to carry on?

We will focus awareness on each of the main seven chakras and rest in the energies and consciousness associated with each chakra.
