Assumptions about people having near death experiences include: anguished family members, reflection on life experiences, feelings of peace and awe, encountering God or Jesus and reluctant return to earthly existence.
But what exactly does it sound like? Melbourne artist Saskia Moore conducted extensive research into near death experiences and discovered that sounds and music often appear during these experiences.
Music in the Spirit Realms
Since ancient times, people have reported hearing various forms of music emanating from spiritual realms. These sounds range from peaceful and relaxing to mesmerizing and inspiring; sometimes described as New Age classical or even rock and metal music styles.
Music can help our loved ones on the other side connect with those still living here on earth by communicating messages or offering direction and guidance. Music also serves as a form of comfort to them so that they know we care, giving them energy for continuing on their journey.
Many individuals who have reported near death experiences report hearing music from beyond. It is thought that this music helps relax them into a trance-like state similar to what occurs during hypnosis – losing track of time and becoming unaware of their surroundings.
Music heard in spirit realms is usually soothing and relaxing, often featuring gentle rhythmic beats that may remind them of bells, wind chimes or other musical instruments; sometimes people even describe angel choirs singing or the music of the spheres as sources.
Spirit realm music may also include inspirational and motivational pieces to uphold positive messages and assist others through difficult times. Meditation using such music may also help people relax while keeping focused on positive aspects of their lives.
People who have had near death experiences often report that it dramatically alters their life for the better. They become more open about sharing their experiences and gain greater clarity into life’s purpose; furthermore, many no longer fear death – a major transition for many that is difficult to adapt to at first.
NDE Music Revelations
As people die or come close to it, many believe they enter another realm with distinct laws of nature. Many report experiencing peace and acceptance while being able to see events from outside their body; also common reports include seeing bright, unfamiliar lights; meeting religious figures or loved ones who have passed; transcending space and time and beyonding boundaries altogether. Such experiences often leave those returning back into life with renewed meaning in life – or at least an enhanced understanding of why they should stay here on earth.
Although there is no empirical proof for these experiences, they remain fascinating and breathtaking for many people. Near death experience books like The Day I Died have sold over thirteen million copies worldwide since 1975 – but what began it all was written by psychiatrist-in-training Raymond Moody himself who wrote his groundbreaking work back then.
Moody’s book was compiled based on letters and interviews with hundreds of people who had experienced NDEs, some of whom reported seeing musical instruments or hearing unearthly sounds while in an NDE, conversing with those they know from life on the other side, as well as receiving information that they never would have received otherwise.
Atheistic materialists may try to explain away such experiences by asserting that only matter exists and immaterial souls don’t exist – however, this theory doesn’t always hold up; the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) has reviewed thousands of NDE reports and discovered that most support the presence of an afterlife.
One of the most fascinating elements of NDEs is hearing music in the spirit realm. This music can range from various styles and can sometimes even be quite beautiful; spirits use music as a form of communication with us on this side.
Harry Howard & The NDE, an eclectic Melbourne ensemble comprised of some of Melbourne’s finest musicians, has released its debut album featuring music inspired by NDE. The record features rock, blues and folk influences with some experimental sounds reminiscing rehashed Gothenburg metal.
NDE Music Symbolism
Near death experiences frequently include an encounter with music from the spiritual realms. From nature sounds to classical composers such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Vivaldi to contemporary artists like Jakub Jan Ryba – their sounds provide soothing relaxation that helps the individual focus and concentrate on their spiritual journey.
At an NDE, many people report hearing beautiful music that soothes their soul and brings peace. Some also report hearing voices which seem to mimic angels or celestial beings and provide comforting melodies from the universe – it seems they want us to know they care and want us to rest easy knowing their presence can bring comfort when close to death.
Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus Christi are two iconic classical pieces, both considered masterpieces. Symphony is performed in the spirit world to represent its entirety while Ave Verum Corpus Christi serves as a lullaby reminding NDEr of their parents and home in heaven while its lyrics speak of God’s unconditional love and promise of return to Earth.
After having experienced an NDE, survivors can often struggle to readjust to life in the physical world again. Friends and family may not understand or accept their new way of living; additionally, their experiences may be confusing or frightening for some people.
Attending to those who have experienced an NDE requires both love and respect. Supportive friends should listen attentively, validate experiences, educate about lessons learned from this experience, and refer them for professional consultation if it has caused significant change in their life.
Even though NDEs remain controversial, evidence supports their existence. Their common features — out-of-body sensations, passage through tunnels and enhanced senses — suggest an out-of-body experience not caused by neurological or psychiatric impairment.
NDE Music Messages
Near Death Experience (NDE) is an extraordinary psychological event with both mystical and transcendental elements that often occurs near or at the point of death. Most who have an NDE report feeling at peace, love and oneness with all life; some see heavenly and otherworldly realms, others perceive their bodies being stripped off as garments from above while they watch from a higher vantage point; many also note how time appears to stand still during an NDE experience.
Pierre-Jean du Monchaux’s 1740 Anecdotes de Medecine book contains the first professional account of an NDE ever documented professionally. One of his patients who was critically ill reported seeing a light that reminded them of heaven – with such purity and beauty that they felt they had reached it themselves! They reported having no fear of death whatsoever and stating they had visited this place before.
NDEs were relatively uncommon until Raymond Moody published his best-selling book Life After Life in the 1970s and its successors; these publications introduced this form of study into our cultural vocabulary and have led to increased attention and research over time.
Now there are numerous books, articles and websites dedicated to NDEs; 50 years’ studies have identified common elements among them – seeing light at the end of tunnel or beautiful room; feeling peaceful, safe and loved; having life review sessions with others who had NDEs; hearing music – that describe these experiences.
Recent studies have demonstrated that some individuals can recall Near Death Experiences while in their waking state – these so-called veridical NDEs resemble those experienced when dying or in comas.
Music plays an integral part in Near Death Experiences (NDEs). People experience beautiful melodies and instruments playing at very high frequencies during these experiences, which many believe to be essential components of both our spirit realms and souls. Furthermore, this type of music reveals more about the nature of our universe; some individuals, like Gilles Bedard for instance, were so moved by what they heard during an NDE that they dedicated their life to studying it and recreating it!
