I returned from this mornings run triumphant as just for today I have conquered “the dog squad”. The dog squad? I hear you cry, what are you on about? Well, if you are a seasoned jogger it usually follows that you are seeking places to run that are quite literally off the beaten track. Parks, forests, trails, seafronts and such like. All of these are beautiful and inspiring places of nature and can really make a diffference to how great and connected you feel whilst running.

However, these are also the places of  “the dog squad”.

Now I can spot them a mile off (which has been the problem actually!) and I’m not talking about your lone dog walker here. I’m talking about a minimum of about three owners (generally) and about six dogs (usually) with about on average, four on the lead and two off the lead, roaming around. Now unfortunately when you get this number of dog owners in one spot they are no longer walking but standing still chatting. In their social state they are generally oblivious to what their dogs are up to and no where near noticing a hapless jogger who is heading their way. So the encounter would normally go something like this. Read the rest of this entry »

What’s that? Near Death Experiences

What’s that about? A “near-death experience” (NDE), refers to a broad range of personal experiences associated with impending death, encompassing multiple possible sensations including detachment from the body; feelings of levitation; extreme fear; total serenity, security, or warmth; the experience of absolute dissolution; and the presence of a light, which some people interpret as a diety. Some see NDEs as a paranormal and spiritual glimpse into the afterlife. These phenomena are usually reported after an individual has been pronounced clinically dead, or otherwise very close to death, hence the term near-deathexperience. (Wikipedia)

What else can you tell me? Many of the sources of information about the near death experience have come from people who have been resuscitated. They have died for a short period of time and when they have been revived they are able to relate back exactly what was going on in the operating theatre during their resuscitation aswell as their other incredible journey experiences.

For example - A man had had a heart attack and while the resuscitating team were caring for him a nurse removed his false teeth for safety reasons and put them in a draw in a portable cabinet that was in the resuscitation  room. The man recovered fully and later when he was discharged he was collecting his things and his teeth were not amongst them. He was able to recall, how, while the team were shocking him back to life he was in the room, detached from his body and watching from a place above them. Aswell as recounting things that were said and done he recalled where the nurse had put his teeth and subsequently was able to retrieve them to the amazement of all concerned.
