Near-death experience podcast 557 is Barbara Bartolome. Barbara is the Founder and Group Leader of IANDS Santa Barbara. Barbara has experienced two Near-Death Experiences (NDE), the first at 18 months old and the second when she was thirty-one years old. She very clearly remembers and recounts the second NDE, where she immediately and accurately told the Neurosurgeon, Orthopedic Surgeon, and medical team that were present what had been said and done in the room during her resuscitation. Shocked, they denied it to avoid liability for the error that had caused her death. She chose to never speak about it with anyone until about a dozen years after it had occurred, when she found out that others had experienced NDEs, worldwide, and that she wasn’t alone. Barbara had never been told about her early childhood NDE until her eldest brother disclosed it to her when she was in her mid-fifties. Her brother was completely unaware of her second NDE when he brought his memory of the childhood NDE up to her. He had been twelve years old when he had witnessed his little sister die for approximately five minutes and then return to life, and he had been sternly told by their parents to never mention that it had occurred. Barbara founded the IANDS Santa Barbara group in August 2011, and their meetings and events routinely draw large audiences. Barbara states that NDEs are opening up the world to the reality of non-local consciousness and she’s thrilled to be helping people learn that death is just a transition back “home” and that we all are here to love others, learn much, and enjoy all aspects of our life adventures! Barbara and her NDE have been featured on the NBC Today Show, in articles in U.S. News and World Report and The Sun (U.K.), and in various podcasts, TV, radio, and print articles.
