December 17, 2018//-One-quarter of Australians believe they have had a near-death experience, according to research conducted by personnel from three Victorian medical institutions.
Almost half of the study respondents had sensations ranging from feelings of peace and out-of-body sensations, to hearing music, and seeing deceased spirits and religious figures.
Medical researchers from Monash University, Melbourne’s Albert Road Clinic and Broadmeadows Adult Health carefully developed a questionnaire for the study, which was carried out by Roy Morgan Australia.
The survey asked participants if they had ever felt close to dying, however in order to qualify as having had a near-death experience, they had to have experienced two or more endorsements.
The results showed that the majority of people who had near-death experiences felt feelings of peace (25.3%) and an out-of-body sensation (24.8%).
Some people saw a tunnel (6.6%), while others said they went to an ‘unearthly place’ (5%). Very few reported seeing into the future(0.8%), hearing music or voices (1.2%), or having their life flash before their eyes (1.7%).
Editor of Believe magazine, Symmone Gordon said that the research provides important statistical insight into near-death experiences, and that hearing about them first-hand is even more compelling.
