A man on the verge of death described: I felt that my body was divided into two. One was lying on the bed, which was just an empty shell; the other was floating in the air, which was my body shape.

What does it feel like when death is approaching?

Does everyone feel the same when they die?

Scientists have conducted detailed research on this, providing people with information on subtle feelings at the junction of life and death.

This is - a near-death experience.

In 1892, Swiss geologist Heim first provided a phenomenological description of near-death experiences based on reports from people who fell while climbing mountains.

Subsequently, many scholars conducted investigations and research on this.

Research on near-death experiences has also begun in our country.

According to Feng Zhiying, director of Tianjin Anding Hospital, who was the first to introduce this foreign research to the country, near-death experiences refer to people who have suffered severe trauma or illness but unexpectedly recovered, and who are in a potentially devastating situation and have a premonition of what is about to happen.

Subjective experiences of death-threatening moments as recounted by people who have died and narrowly escaped death.

It is the same as the psychology of people's dying process. It is the spiritual activity of human beings when they are approaching death.

However, the dying process is a psychological change in the face of death, which lasts for a long time. The near-death experience occurs at the critical moment of sudden death and lasts for a short period of time.

There are currently about 40 types of near-death experience phenomena reported at home and abroad.

"I felt like I was flying on the ceiling, floating, and there was a body (mine) lying on the hospital bed. I clearly felt its pulse and breathing." This is what a psychiatrist told his colleagues

An out-of-body experience.

"I was really surprised by this." "I felt that my mind was very clear, and certain scenes of my past life flashed through my mind one by one. There were scenes of receiving awards when I was a child, and there were scenes of excitement when I got married.

It was like a 'panoramic memory' of life. "At that time, I was not afraid, nor was I in pain, nor did I miss my loved ones. It was as if I had lost my emotions." This is what Dean Feng said about the 81 cases of near-death among the survivors of the Tangshan earthquake.

In the experience study, 41 cases described similar brief experiences.

Domestic and foreign research shows that although the content of near-death experiences described by different individuals is different, it is obviously consistent and universal, and has a wide range of paranormal content.

Feng Zhiying and his colleagues investigated the near-death experiences of survivors of the 1976 Tangshan earthquake. Although they only obtained valid survey data for 81 cases, it was indeed the largest collection of samples in the history of near-death experience research in the world.

According to statistical analysis, more than half of these survivors reviewed their life history when they were about to die, and nearly half had the feeling that their consciousness was separated from themselves, and they felt that their own image had separated from their bodies and floated into the air.

My body is divided into two, one is lying on the bed, it is just an empty shell, and the other is my body shape, which is lighter than the air, floating swaying in the air, feeling extremely comfortable; about one third of

People have the strange feeling that they are passing through a tunnel or tunnel-like space, sometimes accompanied by some strange noises and the feeling of being pulled or squeezed; about a quarter of people experience that they "encounter" something strange.

The phenomenon of real people or souls. These non-real people are mostly deceased relatives or living acquaintances, etc., seemingly reunited with them.

Social psychology, education, occupation, marriage, personality, tendencies, etc. also have varying degrees of impact on the content of near-death experiences.

Research by Feng Zhiying and others shows that men experience more accelerated thinking processes than women; unmarried people experience more extrasensory perception and a sense of world destruction than married people; the higher the level of education, the more feelings of particularly clear thinking, and the higher the level of education.

At the end of the day, there are more out-of-body experiences, experiences of living in otherworldly realms, a sense of physical strangeness, and a sense of the unreality of the world; farmers and unemployed workers have more experiences of a sense of time slowing down or stopping and abnormal body sensations, and cadres and workers have a sense of sudden awakening.

There are many; those who believe in ghosts, gods and destiny often have the feeling of playing another person.

"Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years." If snake bites are like this, how subtle changes must be in the psychology of people who have accepted death and returned to the human world!

The research report by Feng Zhiying and his collaborators pointed out that among 81 cases studied, 47 cases had personality changes before and after near-death experiences.

People who experience a sense of particularly clear thinking after near-death experiences often become docile in character; while people who experience experiences such as "encountering" otherworldly people or whose souls, thoughts or behaviors are not controlled by consciousness and are judged often become blindly optimistic.

Or noisy.

After being "resurrected from the dead", most people still have vivid memories of their near-death experiences, and they are still unforgettable even ten or twenty years later.
