\"\"Our guest for the first half of the show tonight is Dr. Diane Corcoran, RN, President of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (www.iands.org<\/a>).\u00a0 She is the Chair of Education and Research Committees, and is currently sponsoring research on combat near-death experiences (NDEs).\u00a0 Dr. Corcoran is a nurse, educator, retired Army colonel, and is currently doing legal nurse consulting.\u00a0 She has served on the board for the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) since 2004, and has written several articles on NDEs for health-care professionals.<\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered what happens at the moment of death?\u00a0 Many people have experienced that moment and lived to talk about it.\u00a0 A near-death experience (NDE) is a profound psychological event that may occur to a person close to death or, if not near death, in a situation of physical or emotional crisis.\u00a0 Because it includes transcendental and mystical elements, an NDE is a powerful event of consciousness; it is not mental illness.\u00a0 An NDE may contain powerful images and emotions, usually of peace and love though sometimes terror, despair, and guilt.\u00a0 An NDE may also include an out-of-body experience and vivid perceptions of movement, light, darkness; encounters with loved ones, unfamiliar entities and\/or spiritual presences; sometimes a life review, a landscape, a sense of overpowering knowledge and purpose.\u00a0 The after-affects of an NDE are enduring, often powerful and may be life-altering.\u00a0 No two experiences are identical, and no single feature is found in every NDE.<\/p>\n

The term “near-death experience” was coined by Dr. Raymond Moody in his book, Life After Life<\/em>, in 1975; however, the earliest known description of a near-death experience was recounted by Plato in his Myth of Er<\/em>, found at the end of Book X of The Republic<\/em>, which was written c. 420 B.C.\u00a0 Accounts can be found in the folklore and writings of European, Middle Eastern, African, East Indian, East Asian, Pacific, and Native American cultures.<\/p>\n

In the United States alone, there are more than 774 NDEs everyday.\u00a0 The International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) was formed in 1981 by a group of researchers subsequent to the outpouring of requests for more information about NDEs.<\/p>\n
