Near-death experiences unfurl the boulevard to spirituality

On a chilly Monday night in Cairo,Egypt dated 30th December 2019,I had suffered from a severe breathing disorder;bronchital asthma.Prior to that night,I did have severe flu and cough as the weather was 12 degree celsius for that whole week.Much to my amazement,my condition was critical and I could not breathe.I woke my sister up from her slumber as I was sharing the same hotel room with her and she was astonished looking at my condition. I also was running a body temperature of 102 degree fahrenheit. My sister immediately called up my parents from the room intercom and informed them about the severity of the situation.The clock had struck at 2:30 in the morning and my father immediately called up my family doctor in Mumbai. The doctor prescribed life saving anti-allergen medications,also known as steroids.Destiny was very much at play. My sister called up the hotel reception to ask the location of the pharmacy which was just stones throw away from our hotel,quite ironic! My father and sister rushed to the pharmacy and bought the medication, which I immediately took. I felt a little relieved and slept for 6 hours that night. However, the next day we had our flight scheduled back to Mumbai.

The next morning around 9:30am post breakfast and checking out of the hotel,we rushed to a hospital in the neighbourhood where I met a chest specialist. We informed him that we had our flight in the afternoon, he prescribed the nebulizer ( an oxygen mask through which the medicine is inhaled), which took 30 minutes for me to intake the medicine through that apparatus.The nebulizer is a quicker medium for the medicine to reach the lungs than any other oral drug. So, post intake of the medicine,we made our way to the airport. Amidst all of this, my condition was worsening as I could barely breathe as the effect of the medicine was soon wearing off. Our flight was scheduled at 2:30pm Eastern Standard time that afternoon and we reached the airport by 12:30pm. We grabbed our lunch at the food court and I was immensely restless just to board the flight and get back to Mumbai. As I boarded the flight,I was coughing all throughout the flight and I was losing hope of making it through the day. We landed at 7pm in Mumbai and immediately rushed to the hospital here named Nanavati hospital. We asked to meet a chest specialist, however, the receptionist at the hospital advised us to meet the pulmonologist;(a pulmonologist is a specialist in treating respiratory diseases).

As we entered the cubicle of the pulmonologist,he saw the severity of my health condition and did a Pulmonary Function Test(PFT test) where the doctor understands the percentage of oxygen in the lungs of a patient. He informed us that I had only 36% of lung capacity;which meant that only 1/3rd of my lungs were functioning.The specialist doctor prescribed a chunky list of antibiotics and other heavy medicinal drugs which I had to take on a regular.The whole month of January 2020 was about visits to the doctor; intake of medication;home cooked meals with low spices and negligible oil based meals and hot beverages.

Post a few weeks,I made a regular visit to the pulmonologist and he clearly stated that my survival was questionable,however, due to the age factor and extreme precautions taken by me, I fought back to built back my lung functioning capacity. The classical case example of a near death experience that I faced has been a stepping stone in my whole being.

It has been 3.5 years to this incident and since then,I have radically transformed into a more spiritual being. I can sense thoughts and feelings of people,I can manifest at a faster pace,my visualization power has enhanced, a sense of heightened intuitive powers; I can feel certain energies and forces around me. All these aforementioned spiritual aspects have been unfurled within my being post this incident.

My overall personality has revolutionized into being a more calmer person.I enjoy spending time alone,my social circle has reduced to barely 4 people,my interest areas have shifted to reading on tarot cards;researching and blogging about spirituality and spiritual connections. 4 years back,if someone mentioned the concept of manifestations and visual powers to me,I would brush them off as being lunatics.

It is safe to say that every incident in life that we undergo unfurls a contemporary version of ourselves.This is termed as ascension of the soul, in spiritual terms.This whole new dimension of higher power of the universe and spirituality has no more been new to me. Continuous signs and synchronicities are following me on a daily which has unfurled a whole improvised layer of a higher conscious being within me.
