In 2006, Anita Moorjani<\/a> had been living with terminal lymphoma for four years. She described those years as being ‘riddled with the fear of the disease, fear of dying’, and fear of cancer treatments. In short, life was looking pretty bleak. One day, her condition rapidly deteriorated, and she was admitted to the hospital in a critical state. When her husband arrived in the ER, doctors told him that she had reached the end stage of her life<\/a> and had mere hours to live.<\/a> She was experiencing a change in breathing, was unconscious, and all of her organs were failing. They had placed her in a coma, presumably trying to make her as comfortable as possible. The doctors were saying, ‘She won’t even make it through the night’ (Picture: Anita Moorjani)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

However, what doctors didn’t know at the time was that Anita was experiencing an out-of-body and near-death experience<\/a> \u2014 all while they were telling her family this tragic news. ‘I started to notice that I wasn’t feeling any more pain. The fear was gone,’ she recalled, as she says she realised she wasn’t in her body anymore. Anita, who has written a New York Times bestseller about her experience, called ‘Dying to Be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing<\/a>,’ has appeared on many podcasts since the experience. People have described what she went through as ‘crossing the threshold of this life and touching eternity,’ and that what she received in return was ‘not just healing but a revelation of the soul\u2019s true purpose’ (Picture: Anita Moorjani)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During her comatose state, Anita said she was aware of everything going on around her<\/a>. She was aware of what was happening: she could hear and sense her surroundings. She also felt ‘more alive’ than she ever had. She was desperate to tell her husband that she was OK, and for some reason knew that she didn’t want him to listen to the doctors, as she was sure she was going to be fine. Yet this was all happening while<\/em> she was in a coma, and while<\/em> medical professionals were telling everyone around her that she was dying (Picture: Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anita recalled feeling herself expand more and more, and was keenly aware that she wasn’t using her five traditional senses. She was gradually feeling so free, liberated, and, ironically, alive. All she could feel was unconditional, magnificent love \u2014 a feeling that she says cannot be described, and can only be understood if you experience it for yourself. And although she deeply loved her world and her life on Earth,<\/a> those things seemed to slip away as she transitioned more towards this new realm (Picture: Anita Moorjani)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anita say the next thing that happened on her journey was that she met with her deceased father and best friend, who had passed that same year. However, she didn’t see or talk to them like we would on this Earth. Rather, there was a mutual understanding. She knew her loved ones were there, and she knew that she could talk to them in her mind and that they would be able to communicate back. Anita also sensed other ‘beings’ around her. While she couldn’t work out who they were, they weren’t a threat to her: she could tell that they loved her and were positive entities. Anita then realised that her father, her friend, and these other ‘beings’ that she was with weren’t just part of this moment; they had always been with her in her waking life. She had this knowing that they had never left (Picture: Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After experiencing this realm, where she received ‘all of life’s answers,’ and what exists beyond this<\/em> life<\/a>, Anita says she chose <\/em>to come back to Earth. In one podcast shared to her Instagram page, she said that, ‘not only do we leave behind our physical bodies, but we also leave behind our gender, our race, our culture, our religion, our beliefs.’ She described these identity markers as a ‘here thing,’ and not a ‘there thing,’ meaning they only matter in our real life. ‘I realised that the only thing that crosses over is our pure essence,’ she said (Picture: Anita Moorjani)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When choosing to come back to life<\/a>, something unexplainable happened. Anita says she knew that if she was granted a second chance, this experience was something she had to share with everybody. Anita recalled in an Instagram post: ‘For the first time, I felt like I was enveloped in this feeling of unconditional love. I was loved just because I exist. I was shown scenes of my future. I was told, “Now that you know the truth of who you really are, your body will heal very quickly”‘ (Picture: Anita Moorjani)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She claims she also knew that when she woke up from the coma, her cancer would heal itself. Miraculously, Anita’s tumours \u2014 which she said were the size of golf balls \u2014 started to shrink after she woke up. She says in about five days to a week they had shrunk by about 70% in size, and doctors were shocked. Anita even said that one medical professional said her recovery had to have a ‘non-physical explanation.’ She claims he said: ‘I’m not religious, but I can only put it down to the divine intervention’ (Picture: Anita Moorjani)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
