Moving through a tunnel

Experiencing intense peace

While deeply personal and emotional, these experiences are still studied scientifically.
Some researchers suggest they may be linked to:

Oxygen deprivation in the brain
-
Neurochemical reactions during extreme stress
-
The release of endorphins
-
Activity in specific brain regions during trauma
Others believe these accounts raise profound questions about human consciousness.
The scientific community continues to study these phenomena carefully, emphasizing evidence-based research while acknowledging the emotional impact on patients.
