24m 49s
Jeanette Headstrom, a 22-year-old hairdresser from Sweden, survived a fatal car crash that left her with severe internal injuries, including a ruptured diaphragm and spleen. In the moment of near-death, she experienced a profound out-of-body sensation, observing the accident from above and later entering a luminous, warm, and unconditional realm where she met her deceased godmother and received a life review. She learned that her consciousness had a unique, vital role in the universe and that she had spiritual contracts with her family, especially her husband and children. A guiding voice urged her to return to her body, a process she described as painful and disorienting, involving intense physical and emotional compression. Despite initial disbelief and medical dismissal of her experience, she developed strong intuitive abilities to detect truth and deception, which helped her heal without long-term pain or dependency. Over time, she embraced her experience as a transformative gift, leading her to become a facilitator for IONS, promoting awareness and support for near-death experiences. Today, she believes all individuals are unique co-creators of reality, and that staying true to one’s authentic energy is essential to personal and collective well-being. Her journey underscores the power of spiritual insight in healing, connection, and self-realization.
Hello, my name is Jeanette Headstrom, and I'm from Sweden. And when I was 22 years old,
I was in a car crash and I had an NDE, so near BethExperience. And the day when it happened,
we were going cross-country to Stockholm from Gothenburg. So we're going to the other side of the
country and I was a ride for five hours. And I just finished my work and I was working as a hairdresser
then. And my sister picked me up, but we didn't get that far actually. So we got halfway
and we got hit by a lorry truck and was pushed out in the other lane and we had a head on with
another car. And what happened was that we were pretty high speed and because of the lorry truck's
tire came into the side, I turned my body from from from the side and when we had the head on,
the belts were sitting so it pushed everything up underneath my heart. So everything that I had
in my stomach was pushed up underneath my heart. So my diaphragm was ripped, my lungs were punctured,
actually my spleen was up in my left shoulder and I also had a vertebrae in my spine that got
crushed, also my shoulder got crushed as well. So there was a lot of damage internal in my abdomen
and all all of my intestines were also underneath my heart. So I knew pretty quickly that I was
dying like I couldn't breathe. I was so afraid, I was screaming out straight out that I'm dying,
I'm dying, I can't breathe, I can't breathe. And the pain in my body was like it was so overwhelming
and also the death anxiety that I had was a fear I never felt before or probably never will.
And what happened was that I released my body because the pain was so severe so it was like
I had to get a break from it. So I actually released my body and I ended up above the car and I
could see there was cars stopping and people running and it was like watching a movie. So I was
like on top of the car and I could not understand that it was me in the car. The feeling was like
I was watching a movie and I could understand like I could feel everything happening but I wasn't
attached to it. But then I got sucked down into my body again and I ended up in this pain again
and this realization that I was dying. We were very close to the hospital. We were just five minutes
from the hospital. So the ambulance was there pretty quickly but they had to saw the roof of the car
off to get us out. So we were stuck in the car for 45 minutes before they got us out. But
when the ambulance came I could speak to them. I could tell them my personal like security number
and I could tell them my mom's phone number. I was telling them that I want to go home. I want
to go home and I'm dying. I'm dying. So it says in the report that this was what I was saying.
And I actually released my body a few times. Maybe two or three times I released my body
and ended up above the car watching this movie of this accident. And then I heard a voice.
This voice was inside of me and outside of me. It was me. It was like everywhere. I couldn't
locate it. It was like we didn't hear it with your ears. I heard it surrounding me and it
told me to let go. Let go. I got you. And I trusted this voice. So I just released my body. I just
I just let go. And in an instant I was in the light. I ended up in something that I called a
weighing room. And in here everything was just bright. It was like a blinding light but it wasn't
blinding. It was just very warm, very lovingly, very unconditional. It was like waking up. And when
I did that, I did not recall that I had a body that had just been in an accident. It just felt like
I was home. I belonged there. I also met three big energies there. And my brain will say that I
saw that I heard that I felt and stuff like that. But everything here is just energy. Like when I
visit this memory, all I see is just light and annoying and energy. I just see everything in
energy. But my brain wants to make it like a movie. Like because it's much easier to get the right
words and to comprehend what happened to me. So I met these three big energies there. And the first
one I met was my godmother. And she died 10 years before in breast cancer when I was 12 years old.
And she was there. And she greeted me when I came. And they told me that this was not my time
to die. And it was supposed to go back to my body to heal it. And then I didn't even know I had a
body. And I'm like said, no, I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying here. Because that was so clear to
me that I was home. And everything felt very, very good. Then they showed me, I got into my awareness
that I had a body that I heard a persona that's genetic. And I just been in a big car crash.
I got a life review from my mother's room. I saw my life. And I also saw my future until I'm
going to transform in this world the next time. So they showed me all of it. And they also showed
me what would happen if I if I decided not to go back to my body. They showed me because they
said also that I have contracts to live that I have already designed. And they got to see my
chieftain. And I got to see and feel my husband's energy. So the best way for me to describe
how they showed me this was that I had a vibration. So it's like when you throw a pebble in the
lake. And it just radiates out this ripple effect. But this wasn't just like horizontal. It was
like going outwards in every direction. And I could see how it clashed together with other
people's vibration. And it was like a creation. So it's something else that started to ripple
from that. So it was like a creation energy. And they also told me that this
energy that I own in this body is very unique. And it's like it's supposed to be here. And
it's very important that I go back to my body. And because I was so on my husband's and we started
like this new lights, this new vibrations that is our children. And they showed me what would happen
like if I chose not to go back. And they felt like the energy is imploded. I hope that's the right
world. Like it's just disappeared. And everything turned very, very quiet. And then it just got rushed
over by all the other waves. And so I saw that happening with my children. And then I saw
that happening with my energy. And then I also started hearing everybody praying for me to get back.
So I heard everybody's prayers that was on earth telling me to come back or to fight and to not
leave them. And it's not fair. And probably here, it's not linear. Not everybody was saying this
at the same time. But I heard everything at the same time. So time there, there is no time there.
Time is something completely different. So when I put my awareness onto something, it was yet
just there. It was like a knowing. And I'm so sure that prayers is heard because I heard them
very, very clearly. So I also understood that I'm wanted here, that I am important for people
here. And they want me to come back. And I also have these agreements with my children.
And that would not happen if I decided not to go back to my body. And we had a long conversation
as well, because I had like these two big energies that was behind my godfather. And I had a
conversation with them. I would call them angels, them when I came back, I called them angels.
Because that was the best word that I
had to explain the big news of it and the feeling of that power that they had was like really big
energies and they said that they would help me to go back to my body so I decided yes I'm going
to go back and they helped me they went with me the whole way and this part of my NDE was a bit
scary like it was kind of dark and I can't actually compare it with the time that I had in the car dying
this was the same feeling when I I went back to my body this transformation was really hard because
it felt like I left this light where everything just felt so great and warm and lovingly and
unconditional and you know just belonging and then I started to go back to my body and it
just got denser and denser and denser and darker and darker and darker and then it felt like
I was ripped apart the same time as I was like squished together very very tightly and ripped from
something like I went into separation again and that was not pleasant it was a really hard journey
for me and that is a memory that I haven't revisited a lot until these last years the last
couple of years actually I woke up in my body so while I was back in my body I couldn't communicate
and I was moving very freely in my body so I was very very confused I couldn't understand what
happened and I couldn't communicate with anyone I knew my mom was sitting there and I was like moving
my like my consciousness was moving in my body very freely but the first like memory that I have
from my body if you say that not my soul I was on the Monday and we had the head-on on Friday
and they took us in and they did a lot of surgery on me because I was so many traumas in my body
and they thought they were supposed to open me like one or two times more because of all the
injuries that I had it was so much to go through but they did not have to open me again and what
happened was when I was lying there when I couldn't communicate with anyone else I heard this voice
inside me so very very carefully and it told me how to move my energy in my body where to be in my
body I would say it's like like prayer like you you command like and pray for different kind of
energy and light so I was working with different lights so sometimes I was working with blue light
was like more cooling and like yeah cooling energy and then I sometimes worked with red and yellow
and orange energy in my body in different spot and I had this voice that told me how to do that
and where to do it and I couldn't do anything else either because yeah so I did I just did what
this voice told me to do and I trusted this voice so much so they actually did not have to
open me again and they said that was like a miracle and they also thought that I was going to be
in the respirator for at least a week so they filled me with water because so all my organs could
just float and not get squeezed together so it would easily heal but on someday so it's just two
days in I started a breed against the respirator my diaphragm was ripped and my two lungs was punctured
so that was also a big surprise for the doctors but they did not they did not want me to be in
the respirator for for long either because then like if you're on the respirator a long time
like you you stop using your muscles so they so they tried to actually take me off the respirator
I still had it down in my throat but my mom was sitting behind beside me and she squeezed my hand
every time that I stopped breathing she'd like told me to breathe again so they could actually
take me off the ventilator on someday evening they took me off the ventilator on that is also
something they said like that this is like a miracle because yeah like I healed very very quickly
like my muscle was still functioning after this big accident and on Monday I had my first memory
and that was they moved me from one hospital to get closer to home I remember that because then
I got the memory like kind of switched to my body so it was not my soul's memory anymore it was
like my body's memory that I went into and I remember the nurse told me like hey Jeanette do
know what day it is and I'm like yeah it's Friday and she's like no it's Monday and you've been
it in this big car crash and I remember I was thinking my god and where have I been have I been lying
in the boots or where have I been for three days like I remember that feeling very very close to my
to my heart how confused I was and what also happened was that I after this time I had this
voice with me so so and close to me but I was so confused by it because I tried to speak to my
doctors about what what happened to me but I also feel like here this is 21 years ago so there
was no Google it was no like no internet and not that many books about it and I never ever heard
about the term NDE when I was 22 and in Sweden we are very like a secular country so
we are very close to the science of everything so my doctors just said like to me that so when I
tried to speak it talk about it they said like you just dreamt that you were on heavy medication
this trauma is your brain making it up the stuff at that so I very quickly just did not want to
share it because it felt like a holy experience for me and I couldn't even explain it to myself
so I could not defend it to anyone else either so when they just told me it wasn't true I just
hit it away I told my mom that I met my aunt on the other side because she knew in it and she
believed me but what also happened was when when when when I was out of like the fear of not dying
anymore then my mom had her collapse of like taking care of all the trauma that she's been through
you know so she couldn't really help me not either so I felt very very alone and I had this
voice with me and this other big thing that I had with me was resonance and this harmony when
people were speaking to me I could feel if they were lying or if it wasn't my truth so when my
doctors came in and told me like okay maybe you're not gonna be able to walk again because my my
word of brain it was like crushed and stuff so they didn't really know what's going to happen with
it and they would say like okay so you're gonna have pain your whole life and you're gonna have
medication your whole life and stuff like that just felt it did not resonate with me it was not
my truth but it was very very confusing because I could not and because I felt sick when they
talked to me like that I felt sick because I just like I could not understand because I was just
this harmony in my whole body and now I got I have more control over a lot more because I still
have this gift with me and I also could make the difference between if someone is like
looking me straight in the face and lying to me or if they are telling their truth but it's
just not my truth and so there's a distinction of that as well and I have learned a lot about it
through these years but in the beginning was so so confusing it was nobody to talk to so I had
trauma psychologist and I had so one time I had to I had to but they sent a priest to me just to
you know talk about this that I just felt like I couldn't talk to anyone else and I remember I was
very very scared because it felt like like I was not resonating at all like I was just very very
scared of this like
I just felt like, oh my god, he was think I have a demon in me or anything like something like that.
So I was very, very afraid of that.
It was not a pleasant experience at all.
So I hid this inside of me for a long time and I started searching for information about it.
And I also found a lot of the spiritual communities through it because they had words that I never heard before.
I never thought about God or anything like that before.
And at 22, you don't think you could die.
You just full of life and think you're going to live forever, right?
There's not once even across my mind.
So it's a very difficult time and I went through all the denial and like I dreamt this.
I'm crazy, you know, I tried to, but it would not leave me, you know, it would not leave me.
The memory of this experience, it's never fading.
It's very, very clear to this day what happened to me.
So I can, like, just, I can take my memory back there very easily.
So I got a lot of questions sometimes.
But the more that I studied about it and read about it and I met other people.
So I'm actually a facilitator for ions.org right now.
So the international association of near-death studies.
And I'm so proud of the work that they are doing because when this happens to people,
it's so important that you get the support to get through it because you go down every route
and every rabbit hole that you can in this journey.
Or I did.
And I felt very, very alone for a long time.
So I'm so happy that I found this and that I am also able to pay it forward.
And so we actually this year started in Sweden.
So now we have ions even in Sweden.
So I'm very, very proud of that.
Yeah, I changed my life completely.
And today I can actually say that it was a gift.
I would not say that when I was in it because that was the most horrific thing that ever
happened to me.
So much pain to go through, so much healing to do, so much things to learn.
But today, 21 years later, I truly see it as a gift because I now see how much it brought
me and how it shaped me to be the person that I am today.
And five years after my accident, I found my husband.
And we have two beautiful children today that I know that I have this contract with.
And I tell them like so often that they were the reason why I choose to come back.
So the best parts of my end is like I got this knowing of that we are all unique.
And there's no accident of us being here.
We have co-created this and we are co-creating this and we are so powerful like we are creators.
And I also know that I could have chosen to make that a truth, what the doctors would
say.
They said to me, yeah, we will have pain in your whole life and stuff like that.
But that was not my truth.
And today, I don't have pain in my body or anything.
And I'm actually invalid in paper on paper, but that is also not a title that I'm going
to take to heart because I will decide.
So that is also a power that I got from there.
And so we are co-creating this and there's a uniqueness to us all.
And it's very important that we give the world this unique vibration and being ourselves
and getting to know more about ourselves.
So we could give this special vibration to this co-creation.
So that is the gift and lessons that I got from this NDE.
And if you want to know more about me, you could find my information in the description
box below.
And I really hope that you have a wonderful day.
