NDE After Effects Another large aspect of those who have been through an NDE, is the supposed personality and physiologic changes that one goes through after the event. There have been many anecdotal accounts of people having new-found talents, special abilities, new intense passions for things they never even knew about, and countless other personality changes. Here are some of the more common changes that have been reported in those who have had an NDE: -Strong decrease or complete loss of the fear of death as the result of their NDEs. -Believe that there is life after death. -NDErs, including suicide attempters do not generally attempt to take their lives again. -Spiritual growth, a loving attitude, knowing a Higher Power/God, inner peace and a sense of purpose in life characterize the changes most meaningful to NDErs. -Strong increase in their concern for others, and that life has meaning or purpose. -Increase in psychic phenomena or healing abilities following their NDEs. -Greater ecological sensitivity and planetary concern. -Increased physical sensitivity, diminished tolerance to light, alcohol and drugs. -The average NDEr comes to regard him or herself as "an immortal soul currently resident within a material form so lessons can be learned while sojourning in the earthplane." -A feeling that the brain has been "altered" to encompass "more", and a feeling that one is now using the "whole brain" rather than just a small part. -Energy surges up and down the body happen to many, and can be accompanied by "lights" in the air. Researchers usually regard this as the release of "kundalini" (a Sanskrit term meaning "coiled energy at the base of the spine"). -Electrical sensitivity refers to a condition whereby the forcefield or energy around an individual affects nearby electrical equipment and technological devices.
Physical differences, along with attitudinal changes, eventually lead NDErs to alter their approach to health and healing, employment, finances, lifestyle and relationship issues. Many say that it's almost as if they have to relearn how to use their own body and brain. With all of these wonderful attributes, NDErs also can experience negative life impacts such as loss of job, divorce, and alienation due to their new outlook on life and new set of values. They also may suffer depression and anxiety related to the amount of ridicule or alienation that they experience. They may be viewed as "crazy" due to their new personality traits and “abilities.” The rate of depression among NDErs is currently being studied by the IANDS.
