	Coming Back to Life: The After Effects of the Near Death Experience by P. M. H. Atwater This is the book I recommend to any one that has had a NDE or a Spontaneous Awakening. Based on extensive interviews with over two hundred near-death survivors and thousands of their friends and relatives, Atwater, herself a "survivor" of three near-death experiences, examines the major positive and negative after-effects which survivors experience, including: * a shifted view of physical reality and disorientation in the world of time and space * expanded intuitive and psychic abilities * spiritual transformation * difficulty with communication and relationships and an inability to personalize emotions and feelings, especially those of love. COMING BACK TO LIFE also provides a specific recovery plan for assisting near-death survivors in their return to "ordinary living." It is a compassionate and invaluable resource for the survivors and those who love them. This book was recommended to me when I was having trouble integrating the NDE with who I am. It really helped a lot, those many years ago.

Shedding new light on the links between science and mysticism, Where God Lives not only reveals the area of the brain that is our biological link to the universe, but also shows us the secret of tapping into the universal energy to achieve healing, personal peace, and transcendence.
