I died for two minutes and was brought back to life... these are the shocking things I saw

Daily Mail​20-07-2025
A woman who was officially pronounced dead for two minutes before coming back to life has revealed the shocking things she endured during those 120 seconds.
Nicole Meeuws' heart stopped after she suffered from a series of serious complications while giving birth.
And now, she has shared her harrowing experience.
She recalled being 'pulled' from her body and entering a tunnel of light while her physical form was laying lifeless on a hospital bed.
The 49-year-old said both time and fear didn't exist after passing over to 'the other side.'
She explained to NeedToKnow recently: 'I found myself passing through a tunnel of blue and white light, not a beam, but a corridor that felt alive.
'It didn't feel frightening. it felt like I was being called home. The light had a temperature, a tone, almost like music made of water.'
After passing through the 'light,' she said she came to an 'immense glowing space.'
'The colors were not of this world, they were luminous tones of silver, soft violets, deep radiant blues – and they didn't strain the eyes,' she continued.
'The chamber was vast, larger than any earthly structure, and everything pulsed gently like a heartbeat. And then I saw them.'
Nicole recalled being greeted by blue-skinned beings with human faces, similar to the creatures in the film Avatar.
While she didn't understand their language, she said they made her feel at home and gave her the message telepathically that life is actually an illusion – and we only start living when we die.
'Two towering beings seated on marble-like thrones, shimmering with energy,' she shared.
'Their eyes were large and indigo, filled with kindness and recognition. They looked human, but had gentle gills on their cheeks.
'I remember seeing their fish-like tails, rather than legs, covered in scales. They were both male and female intertwined and didn't speak in words – but I understood everything they had to tell me.'
Nicole, from Greece, who ultimately lost her child during birth, said they told her that she was never meant to have children and that her gift, instead, was to teach people about 'the other side.'
After what felt like a lifetime, but was actually only a few minutes, she was 'zapped' back into her physical body.
'I felt more known than I had ever felt in my life; I didn't want to leave,' the artist added.
'I understood this place, this feeling, and I truly believe it was the original home from which we all come from.
'I learned that death is not an end, it's a return to our actual lives.'
Afterwards, her husband, Christos, 65, a specialized doctor, tried to speak to her, but she could only reply in a high-pitched tone and an 'unfamiliar' language that she had never learned.
She said: 'It sounded like dolphin clicks. It continued for minutes, which left everyone around us stunned.
'But I couldn't stop it – it was coming through me, not from me. My senses were heightened and I could hear emotion in people's voices as color. I returned completely different; almost reborn.'
Nicole, who hasn't had any near-death experiences since, said she often has visions of the blue beings who greeted her on the other side.
She believes they are from the Apkallu interdimensional tribe, which are non-alien creatures – otherwise referred to as Demigods – that are said to have given civilization to mankind.
Now, her mission is to spread the message that 'love is stronger than death.'
She concluded: 'Love will always win; it's where we came from. We're all one big family, regardless of boundaries, cultures, religion and politics.
'Everything that exists came from the same spark. The more we hold onto fear, hate and lies, the easier it is to control humanity.
'To create heaven on Earth, we must spend each day spreading love. I'm no longer afraid of death because I know what's waiting for me on the other side.
'It was a beginning, not an end.'

Avatar fans go wild as favorite character returns and 'steals the show'

Movie lovers have been left thrilled to see a fan-favorite character return in the latest Avatar installment. The first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash - director James Cameron 's third film in the franchise - was released by Disney earlier today. The film is scheduled for December 19 - three years after the second film, Avatar: The Way of Water, reached screens. The new trailer shows beloved characters making their return, including Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), his wife Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), their three children and a human boy known as Spider. However, it wasn't the main cast line-up that has caused excitement with fans. Instead, it was Payakan - a large marine whale-like species native to the oceans of Pandora known as a Tulkun - that caused a frenzy. Payakan formed a close bond with Jake's son Lo'ak in Avatar: The Way of Water. He was labeled as an outcast by his own species and the Metkaynia - water Na'vi - clan. The first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash - director James Cameron 's third film in the franchise - was released by Disney earlier today Despite resistance during the majority of the second film, the Na'vi eventually accepted him after helping in the final battle. And Avatar viewers, who immediately connected with the lovable rebel, were ecstatic to see his return. 'Glad they kept the whale buddy,' someone wrote on a Reddit thread about the new trailer. 'He was the MVP of the final battle in the last movie,' one person remarked. Another shared: 'In this house, we stan Payakan.' 'Payakan stole the show in The Way of Water, so it's only natural that he comes back,' a user declared. Others wrote, 'Aye. Payakan rules!' and 'Payakan is the best boy.' VFX supervisor and executive producer Richard Baneham told Empire in reference to Payakan: 'He's turned out to be one of the most popular characters.' He admitted the 'space whale' always had a role in the third film but that the emphasis has shifted due to his popularity. 'The reaction emboldened us to go forward and play Payakan at the very highest level,' he revealed. The executive producer also shared that Payakan now has a female Tulkun friend, Ta'nok, who is also an outcast, and that there will be a deeper insight into Tulkun societal structures. Not only will there be a deeper look at the sea creatures, but there will also be an introduction to a new Na'vi clan as well - the Ash People. 'You'll see a lot more Pandora that you never saw before,' Cameron said at the 2024 D23 Expo, per Variety. 'It's an insane adventure and a feast for the eyes, but it's also got very high emotional stakes, more than ever before. 'We're going into really challenging territory for all the characters you know and love.'

Na'vi fight large-scale battles in first trailer for Avatar: Fire And Ash

The third film in the sci-fi franchise will see Emilia Perez star Zoe Saldana return to her role as Na'vi warrior Neytiri, and Sam Worthington back as marine turned Na'vi leader Jake Sully. In the trailer, the series' recognisable blue creatures can be seen doing battle on land, sea and in the air, while Jake and Neytiri are seen arguing, with Worthington's character telling Saldana's: 'You cannot live like this, baby, in hate.' Avatar: Fire And Ash will also star Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Cliff Curtis, Britain Dalton, Trinity Bliss, Jack Champion, Bailey Bass and Kate Winslet. The latest edition to the franchise has a screenplay by director James Cameron, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, and a story by Cameron, Jaffa, Silver, Josh Friedman and Shane Salerno. The film will be released in cinemas worldwide in IMAX 3D, Dolby Cinema 3D, RealD 3D, 4DX, ScreenX, and premium screens on December 19 2025. It comes after Cameron revealed the upcoming film's name at a Disney fan event in California, which he appeared at last year alongside Saldana and Worthington. He told the 12,000-strong audience: 'The new film is not what you expect, but definitely what you want.' The 70-year-old said 'we are not going to show footage today, it is too soon' but shared 'cool concept art to tease your imagination' which featured the characters in the sky and surrounded by fire. He also teased a new character that audiences will 'love to hate'. He added: 'There are new cultures and settings and creatures, and new biomes. 'You will see a lot more of Pandora, the planet, that you've never seen before.' The Avatar film series has previously seen the release of Avatar (2009) and Avatar: The Way of Water (2022), along with a number of spin-off video games, toys, theme park rides and soundtrack albums. The franchise's fourth and fifth films are also already planned for release.
