Descriptions:

Linju Alias attended the 2016 IANDS Conference in Orlando FL and reported on her phenomenological study to explore near-death experiences among cardiac arrest survivors in selected panchayats (villages) of Kannur district, Kerala, India. Here she reports on additional investigations since the conference.

This is a report on on-going research on possible cultural influences on NDEs reported by people in India. The culture is quite different in this part of India even from the more populous areas. So how are NDEs among these people different or the same? Do their beliefs and practices regarding dying and the relationship to their ancestors have an influence on the characteristics reported in their NDEs? The answers are of interest to a number of NDE researchers.
