The Physics of Near-Death Experiences: A Five-Phase Theory©
The basic features of a near-death experience, such as tunnels, lights, and out-of-body travels, are well known, but much of the phenomenon remains a mystery. Venselaar has dug deeper into the puzzle and may have found a few of the missing pieces.

Maureen Venselaar, PhD
Venselaar is a teacher and independent researcher and, for almost 20 years, has been a “spiritual/mental” coach in an institution for elderly and sick people in Delft, The Netherlands. For five years she has been president of VGVZ (in the region of Rotterdam, The Hague, and Leiden), an organization that supports spiritual/mental coaches who work in caregiving institutions such as hospitals. The NDE study took ten years. You can contact Maureen through her website at www.debijnadoodontrafeld.nl (via the webmaster).

Final Passages: Research on Near Death and the Experience of Dying
I just returned from an exciting conference held at the biotech company, Promega. The meeting was entitled "Final Passages: Research on Near Death & the Experience of Dying." This eleventh in a series of bioethics forums was held in Madison, WI, April 26–27, 2012, and focused on scientific research into social and ethical issues around dying and near-death experiences. A stellar lineup of global experts addressed a wide range of topics as well as the implications of current research for understanding consciousness.
