Released: February 6, 2026
Guest: Jane Thompson

Episode Overview

This episode features the profound story of Jane Thompson, who experienced a life-changing Near-Death Experience (NDE) during a medical crisis in 2008. Jane shares her journey before, during, and after her NDE, including the spiritual revelations, the immense challenges of returning to ‘real life,’ and how she incorporates her newfound wisdom and sensitivities into her life's work as an energy healer. The conversation dives deep into the transformations NDEs can bring, the struggle of reintegration, and the universal truths Jane encountered on “the other side.”

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Jane’s Life Before Her NDE

[03:41 – 06:32]

• Jane describes being focused on her career as a real estate agent, which offered challenges she enjoyed but left her feeling unfulfilled despite outward success.
• She was in a serious relationship, exploring spirituality, but had a longstanding sense of emptiness.

  “There was that emptiness that always lingered, even from when I was little…” – Jane Thompson [06:32]

2. The Onset of Medical Crisis & Journey to the Hospital

[06:45 – 13:57]

• Jane recounts the sudden onset of severe illness at home, the excruciating pain, and being rushed through two hospitals as her condition worsened.
• She describes sensations of the world becoming “amplified” and the early stages of separating from her body just prior to the emergency that led to her NDE.
• As her body was shutting down, she began to feel herself trying to leave, pulled back only by attempts to place an IV.

  “I was. I could feel myself trying to leave my body. And every time the nurse would poke my arm...it would pull me back in.” – Jane Thompson [11:46]

3. The Near-Death Experience

[13:57 – 24:12]

• Jane describes the sequence of events as she leaves her body:

  • Observing her physical form from above in the ER.
  • Seeing other souls as balls of white light, all connected by iridescent threads, highlighting the interconnectedness of all beings.
  • Passing through a black void (“the in-between space”), then entering a tunnel, before arriving in a realm of clear, brilliant white light.

• In the light, Jane felt overwhelming peace, acceptance, healing, and unconditional love. She sensed other souls’ presence but experienced a direct, wordless connection with God/source.

  “The first thing I immediately felt was the deepest peace that I've ever felt in my life. Just an overwhelming sense of peace...I felt very seen for all parts of me and very accepted.” – Jane Thompson [19:00 approx.]

• Jane understood she was being healed, that wounds and emptiness were being filled, and that she was part of the vast light itself.

• She was told (by a wordless voice) that she had to return:

  “You have to go back...That was the last thing I wanted to hear because I was so much in that moment.” – Jane Thompson [24:14]

4. Impact & Aftereffects of Returning

[27:46 – 45:36]

• Jane woke up with profound psychic sensitivity, sensing others’ thoughts and emotions, and experiencing electronic disturbances.

• She struggled with panic attacks in crowded spaces, and for a long period withdrew from public life, feeling isolated and unsure how to cope with her new perceptions.

• Her searches led her to discover NDE research, which brought some relief and validation.

  “As soon as I was off the medication, everything else felt like a dream. And the NDE felt more real than anything else.” – Jane Thompson [33:00 approx.]

• She learned vital coping tools, such as using music and focused attention to manage overwhelming energy, which later helped her as a healer and channel.

• Connecting with NDE researchers and learning about common aftereffects was pivotal to her healing.

  “Understanding it was a big turning point for me...I still couldn't find a lot of information about how to manage the sensitivities.” – Jane Thompson [37:32]

5. Integration, Healing, and Finding Purpose

[50:53 – 55:48]

• Jane now works full-time as an energy healer, helping others move toward their fullest, truest selves using her heightened sensitivities.
• She stresses the importance of learning when to tune out as well as tune in, and the necessity of solitude for maintaining her peace and sanity.
• Jane sees her work as helping others experience the “flow state”—a peace akin to the love and light she experienced “on the other side.”

  "Flow state is as close to being in the light as you can get. That peace. It just feels so good." – Jane Thompson [45:00 approx.]

6. Meaning, Lessons, and Reflections

[53:54 – 67:31]

• Biggest takeaways from her NDE:

  1. The presence of unconditional love and acceptance that is always available.
  2. That peace is always available once we move through and heal our traumas and conditioning.

  "We feel separate from that love and from that peace. But we're not, we're not at all separate. Just things have happened to us that have created these blocks." – Jane Thompson [55:36]

• Jane’s advice to her younger self:

  "Everything is going to be okay. Everything is going to work out. You go do you. You go play. You go have fun. Be true to yourself. Don't listen to what other people think..." – Jane Thompson [57:11]

• Defining God:

  “God is love. And that light—that’s where we all came from...it’s truly source.” – Jane Thompson [66:21]

• The ultimate purpose of life:

  “To return to true you and to experience the joy and the fullness of that, and to...model for other people, so they can see and they see the results.” – Jane Thompson [67:09]

7. Advice to Listeners

[67:44 – 69:59]

• Take breaks from your healing journey; allow time for integration and enjoyment.
• You don’t need to endlessly seek spiritual tools—periods of rest are a valid, helpful part of the path.

  "There is a time where you can relax in all of that and you don't have to keep filling your brain with all of these things...If we stay in research mode for a long time, we don't get to experience the beauty of flow." – Jane Thompson [68:45]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “I started looking around inside of my body...I could see what the internal organs looked like. And it was just an observation...I'm looking at a dying body, that I'm dying.” – Jane Thompson [13:57]
• “I was looking down at these little balls of white light, which that was everybody's soul...all connected by this really thin iridescent line.” – Jane Thompson [17:15]
• “It was just me and God and it was beautiful to have that...” – Jane Thompson [28:08]
• “As soon as he started playing the guitar and singing, it was just like it was just me and him...when I went home after that, I really kind of meditated on that a lot. And what I came to realize was...I was tuned in, but what I needed to learn was how to tune out.” – Jane Thompson [38:32]
• “You go do you. You go play. You go have fun. Be true to yourself. Don't listen to what other people think, because that says more about them than it does about you.” – Jane Thompson [57:11]
