About Charlene

Charlene is an Ordained Minister

At the age of 16, I had a near-death experience (NDE) which was an imminent life threatening event. I became separated from my physical body and felt myself enveloped in peace and serenity. Yet I remained conscious and totally aware!

As a "dying person," I wasn't becoming less conscious, but more conscious. Standing in front of me was the most awesome sight: A brilliant light that immersed me in purity, holiness, peace, and beauty. I felt secure, safe, and warm, and I knew that I was in the presence of God. I felt that I was in eternity, and I did not want to change anything that was happening to me. I had an overwhelming desire to stay exactly where I was, but I returned with a new perspective along with my memories of what occurred during the so-called time of death.

I cannot tolerate harsh or loud noises or bright lights -- especially overhead light! I have more compassion now, and I do not fear death. Life is a precious gift. I have become closer to God, and I have no doubts about what lies beyond this world for us. Please know that God is in love with each individual and that we are considered courageous by the angels, who are all around us, standing ever-ready at the command of God.

What It Feels Like to Die

Any pain to be suffered comes first. Instinctively, you fight to live -- this is automatic. Then, when you die, you lose your body, but nothing else is lost. There is no pain, only peaceful silence, calm, and love. You still exist. You are still alive -- very much alive, and very busy and active: Death is but a shift.

In fact, only the observer experiences or perceives "death." In reality, you simply shed a garment that is no longer needed. Someone is always there to greet you -- Someone who has already crossed over. You go through a receiving procedure and then you experience a time of rest. Then, our bodies go to sleep, but we do not. We move on to a higher plane of existence.

A beautiful world and reality await the person who transitions. One might think that such a person is no longer in touch with "reality," but this conclusion would be a serious mistake! We are multidimensional and multi-sensory beings. The third dimension -- our physical plane -- is so dense that it is difficult to pierce the veil and to see the world as it is. But there are several dimensions -- multiple levels of energy -- to our living, not just one.

And that is why so many of us who have physically died have been brought back to share with the world the knowledge that life is indeed eternal. I cannot think of a more precious gift than the freedom from fear that comes with knowing that only love is real.

Love is the overriding message of the NDE.

Dying With Dignity

During the NDE, the person is surrounded by wispy, cloud-like formations that glow and pulsate. These are souls that are there to help the dying person prepare to transition, and this is a very important part of the dying process. Every one of these souls is unique -- just as we are unique on Earth.

It is important to pay attention to the person and to approach him or her gently. The caregiver should not startle the dying person or be so thoughtless as to disregard the fact that he or she is in a completely different realm than the one the caregiver is in. Approach the dying person with a soft whisper or touch on the hand. Wait for a response and be sure that he or she is aware of your presence. Be considerate and treat the dying person with dignity and respect at all times.

It is vital to regard this person's space as sacred and to provide him or her with an environment that is restful and soothing -- A peaceful sanctuary in which to transition with dignity. Also, because the dying person is sensitive to light; soft, indirect lighting is ideal.

Remember that the individual who has transitioned is still very much alive and conscious -- Just operating on a different frequency. Another frequency, another dimension, another realm. The soul can never die; The self can never die -- Only the garment is shed. You still exist. You always have, and you always will! We will all live forever.
