In this episode, Dani Foffa talks to academic and mother Efrat Shokef Ph.D who shares her profound NDE following a car crash. Efrat slipped instantly into a realm of breathtaking luminosity—feather‑soft “clouds,” profound stillness, distant bells, and an overwhelming current of unconditional love. Guided by a luminous presence that feels like her grandfather, she was shown scenes of human life and choice, senses a boundary she cannot cross, and receives the message: “It’s not your time.” Returning to a broken body begins a long integration—months in the hospital, years of healing—and a transformation that reshapes her parenting, work, and view of death as a joyful birth back into spirit.
Efrat also shares how to navigate the integration process, why skeptics should start with direct energy practices, and what it means to raise children as luminous beings, honoring their high frequencies and authentic paths. We explore love as a state of being (not emotion), ethics in spiritual work, shamanic practices, and the meaning of life as the expression of our soul’s essence—here, now, on Earth, so be sure to watch until the end!

What is an NDE?
A near-death experience (NDE) is typically a profound, life changing, intensely emotional experience that usually occurs during a clinical crisis and has common characteristics and aftereffects. It is not a dream, hallucination, or mental illness (Greyson, 1983). There are no predictive variables to identify who will have an NDE. They happen to people of all ages, religions, socio-economic groups, cultures, educational backgrounds, and belief systems. They occur under a variety of circumstances such as accidents, near-drownings, illnesses, combat, surgical procedures, and childbirth. Following an NDE, experiencers (NDErs) often display some common aftereffects. Research has established a set of common NDE characteristics and long-term aftereffects. Theories used to explain near-death experiences in purely physical terms have been proven inadequate by NDE researchers and others.

Life Is A Puzzle. Only God Knows All The Pieces
Hello Sandra, one thing
I wonder about in your comment were the words “l always like (the ?) urge souls to remember ….”
May I ask “who are you?”
Have you lived through
a Near Death Experience? Or are your words coming from someone else’s Earthly ideas, perhaps
through an Earthly-limited church preaching limit boundaries and fear?
I believe God, our Source,
and His/Her Love, is
far, far greater than we imagine. Could you think about it?
Precious interview❤🙂👌❤Thanks a lot!
She's angelic looking. Beautiful
Good interview
Our understanding of God is limited by our inherent nature. In general, that which has been created cannot understand its creator. A painting can never understand its painter.
"Whatsoever in the contingent world can either be expressed or apprehended, can never transgress the limits which, by its inherent nature, have been imposed upon it.”
"All that the sages and mystics have said or written have never exceeded, nor can they ever hope to exceed, the limitations to which man’s finite mind hath been strictly subjected. To whatever heights the mind of the most exalted of men may soar, however great the depths which the detached and understanding heart can penetrate, such mind and heart can never transcend that which is the creature of their own conceptions and the product of their own thoughts.” – Bahá'u'lláh, the Prophet founder of the Baha'i Faith
oh joy, another book seller ….zzzz.
Thank you❤
The interviewer has a very nice way to ask and a very pleasant voice ❤
I hope this is true for all the children in Gaza
Only thing i want from death is the end of everything.
Repent and believe in Jesus to be saved ❤
When I go out into public I always feel like there's a giant spot light on me and everyone's just secretly judging me or staring at me and this crushes my will to ever wanna go out. I don't even know how to operate around others I have a deep voice but I still stutter and fear everyone.
Thanks
I really like how she talks and her message.
Love it ❤so beautiful 🎉!!! She’s wonderful!! Thank you !!!
Very pleasant interview.
Right now im in pain, chronic health, in search of a job, im really struggling to stay alive.
I wish i could have help.
I just want the pain to stop.
I’m repeating myself but I think that these NDE stories will be the foundation of a new “religion” when viewed from 500 years in the future.
Have fun here on Earth. Tell that to a 5-year-old sex slave. I'm not kidding, what is wrong with you? Did the world of people become invisible to you? I was graced to feel that love you describe also. But it made me more aware of the darkness. It's not about USUSUSMEMEME – expressing myself. Or you or anyone. Glad you're having fun enjoying the Earth that's feeding you. 37 million children suffered from acute malnutrition last year worldwide. Estimates of death from that are in the millions. But you have fun. Make a special dinner for your family. Raising your frequency is really the point after all, isn't it?
Very evolved…this is going to bring the nde experience and healing to another level…A great contribution !
what a lovely young lady. being our essence, amen amen. for me it wsn't until i was able to receive the spirit and presence of GodWhoIsLove in union communion oneness that i got even a clue what my 'essence' was.
because so many people are terrified of death and dying, that has to be dealt with. which i believe these shared nde experiences help rectify. fear stifles everything.
using others to cleanse (ie the children with efrat).. wow. love as a state of being.. yess. i too wish we could reduce the suffering that leads to death!
the meaning of life is exploring the expression of our essence.. LOVE THAT
Beautiful ❤
Thank you, Dani and Efrat, for spreading your Light and Beauty! I bathe in the strong, mighty and warm ripples emanating from you. 🙂
I don't want some spirit to be pretending to be some one that they aren't. That bothers me.
