American accountant Travis Shreeve shares his near-death experience from 2021: He fell critically ill with COVID-19 during tax season, and it was made worse by his poor health and obesity. After initially staying home, Travis’s breathing worsened, and he eventually collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. Doctors used a tube to keep his airways open, but he thrashed violently, unaware of what was happening. His wife feared it might be the last time she’d hear his voice.

In a coma for days, Travis felt trapped in a terrifying, endless state. He believed nurses were ignoring him or trying to harm him and fought the ventilator, desperate to breathe. Overwhelmed by fear, guilt about leaving his kids, and dread of going to hell, Travis hit rock bottom. Then suddenly, he found himself in a radiant, pristine building glowing with Light. He was flooded with peace and love, forgetting the hospital entirely.

There, he met a woman who felt deeply familiar. She didn’t speak much, but communicated through thoughts and emotion. She gently reminded him he was dying in the hospital— a fact that felt insignificant in that serene realm— and she expressed concern for his children. Her laughter was filled with love and comforted him, as she reassured him that she had intervened to help him and everything would be okay now. Before Travis returned, the woman showed him an image of his family, saying, “We will be whole again.”

Travis returned to the hospital, still struggling but now certain of his survival, strengthened by her words. After weeks of painful recovery, he reflected on his experience and realized the woman was his daughter Whitney, who had died at 16 months from a genetic disorder. Appearing as a radiant adult, she had replaced his final painful memory of her with one of love and strength. He also sensed the presence of his son Vincent, who died at age eight from the same condition, though he didn’t see him.

The contrast between the dark, hopeless coma and the peace of the afterlife convinced Travis that his children still watch over their siblings, and that life’s pain is temporary compared to the love waiting beyond— inspiring Travis to endure and trust in a greater plan (Prioritize Your Life)

Ancient Feng Shui wisdom reveals 6 items you should never leave in the kitchen, as doing so invites evil spirits/negative energy into the home: 1) Exposed Knives and Sharp Objects - Visible blades or knives pointing up create harmful killing energy. - Can cause arguments, health issues, and money loss. + Store knives in closed drawers, blade-down, and away from cooking areas or stove altar.

2) Cactus Plants - Sharp spines symbolize harshness and isolation. - This disrupts the kitchen’s warm, caring energy and may cause tension. + Keep cacti outside; place soft plants like basil or mint indoors.

3) Trash, Dirty Brooms, and Old Rags - Collect negative energy and spread unclean vibes. - Can affect health and finances. + Keep trash bins covered, store cleaning tools outside the kitchen, and keep areas clean.

4) Mirrors or Reflective Glass - Reflecting the stove doubles fire energy, causing chaos and loss. - Avoid clear mirrors near the stove; use frosted glass or cover reflections.

5) Too Many Metal Items or Feng Shui Tools - Excess metal disturbs the kitchen’s fire element. - Can lead to imbalance and conflict. + Use less metal and more wood or ceramic items; store Feng Shui tools like compasses and clocks out of the kitchen.

6) Photos of the Deceased or Worship Items - Mixing sacred energy with everyday kitchen energy is seen as disrespectful. - May cause spiritual unrest and misfortune. + Keep these items in a quiet, clean space like the living room, not the kitchen (CỔ NHÂN DẠY)
