Hypno-death-experiences: Death experiences during hypnotic life regressions.

Death Studies January 1, 2021 Luciano Pederzoli, Eugenia De Stefano, Patrizio Tressoldi

A retrospective analysis of 44 reported death experiences between incarnations from 36 participants during hypnotic life regression sessions found that these experiences closely resemble classic near-death experiences. Using the Italian Near-Death Experience Scale, most reports fell into the 'Affective' category, particularly feeling joy and seeing a bright light, and the 'Transcendental' category. The most common 'Paranormal' experience was feeling separated from one's body. 18% of total scores met the threshold for identifying true near-death experiences. Whether these accounts reflect actual experiences or learned narratives remains uncertain.
