Near-death experience: all studies (page 45)

A neurobiological model for near-death experiences. II: The problem of recall of real events.

Journal of Near-Death Studies 1994 Juan Sebastian G 6 mez-Jeria, J. C. Saavedra-Aguilar

In this article we propose a scientific approach to explain the fact that some near-death experiencers (NDErs) are able to recollect and verbalize real events occurring in the environment during the experience. Our model assigns a central place to priming, multiple declarative memory, and verbal modules. These biological mechanisms lead to the assimilation of multiple external cues, the...

The paradox of Jonah: Response to "Solving the riddle of frightening near-death experiences".

Journal of Near-Death Studies 1994 Nancy Evans Bush 14 citations

Article contending that Kenneth Ring's arguments are the same that have been used by skeptics to question the validity of the radiant near-death experience (NDE); that as they have been found inadequate there, so they do not adequately address the meaning or value of the terrifying experience; and that experiences of the depths may be equally productive and as worthy of serious study as are...

Kundalini and the near-death experience.

Journal of Near-Death Studies 1994 Gene Kieffer 5 citations

While many now believe that the near-death experience can, in some cases, activate the kundalini, there is still little understanding of what is meant by the arousal of this power.The awakening of kundalini actually means the reversal of the activity of the reproductive system and the activa tion of another chamber in the brain, which, if all goes well, can lead to enlightenment or...

Near-death experiences and kundalini awakening: Exploring the link.

Journal of Near-Death Studies 1994 Yvonne Kason 6 citations

This article explores the historical and research evidence that the awakening of latent spiritual energy is the biopsychospiritual basis of near-death experiences (NDEs).This spiritual energy is known in various sacred traditions as Holy Spirit, Vital Winds, chi, dumo fire, mana, and, in the yogic tradition, kundalini.I outline the modern kundalini hypothesis, as first proposed by Gopi Krishna;...
