Why do they resonate so powerfully within us? Join Dr. Raider, hear the latest research and discover a simple way to connect with the inner light talked about by those who’ve experienced an NDE.

Since the 1980s when near death experiences became part of the public consciousness, they have held endless attraction for people. Why do they resonate so powerfully within us? Join Dr. Raider, hear the latest medical research and discover a simple, natural way to connect with the inner light talked about by those who’ve experienced a NDE. Through a simple time-honored method of meditation, you too can explore those realms of peace within you. Dr. Raider draws parallels between near-death experiences and those had by people who meditated throughout the ages, coming from all backgrounds, in all countries and all faith traditions. He then gives the audience an opportunity to learn a simple meditation technique that can enable them to experience the peace and the Light that people who have had NDEs talk about.

Matthew Raider received his M.D. degree with honors from the University of Michigan Medical School in 1979. He had a clinical practice for 42 years during which time he was the medical director of several health care facilities in central CT. Dr. Raider has been active in teaching geriatric medicine and has helped coordinate the geriatrics curriculum for medical residents at Middlesex Hospital in CT. He still is actively involved in teaching residents, medical students and nurse practitioners. Dr. Raider has had a long interest in meditation going back over 50 years. He is also a contributing author to “Meditation as Medication for the Soul” by Rajinder Singh. Dr. Raider has a particular interest for the health benefits of meditation and he has lectured extensively in hospitals and libraries in the U.S. and Canada as well as at the United Nations fairly recently.
