When clairvoyant Luna Reyes suffered a heartbeat-stopping collapse during a livestream, viewers thought she’d died. Instead, she returned from the brink—and is now revealing exactly what it felt like to slip toward the edge of death.
Reyes, 37, known for her profound tarot readings and spiritual guidance, fainted mid-session as she explained how energy shifts around the third eye. The livestream screen went still and her followers panicked—until her husband rushed in and restarted the broadcast. One outlet first shared medical details, confirming she stopped breathing for several minutes before paramedics revived her.
Her account is shattering belief boundaries. In a follow-up video posted to her spiritual blog, Reyes described plunging into darkness before her consciousness flickered back to a place she calls “a luminous tunnel lined with cracking mirrors.” She heard voices of loved ones and “saw my own life flick by like pages in an old book.” Spiritual Daily broke down her metaphysical imagery.
The technical explanation involves brain chemistry. **Neuroscience experts** say this kind of deathbed experience can emerge when oxygen levels fall—triggering bursts of vivid imagery and emotional cleansing. Psychology Today studied these effects, while **JAMA Psychiatry** documented similar reports in its clinical surveys. The JAMA Journal even called it a “neurobiological phenomenon masquerading as spiritual rebirth.”
A viral tweet from her community described the impact:
“When Luna spoke about seeing her whole life flash before her eyes, I felt my soul shake.”
Another tweet from a skeptic’s perspective reflected a broader tension:
“Near-death visions explained by chemicals—but Luna insists it was her spirit escaping.”
A third tweet from a follower underlined emotional resonance:
“Her words about warmth in the void…absolute chills.”
Multiple funeral-home directors told The Guardian that these descriptions echo many NDE accounts—light-filled tunnels, comforting voices, and a profound sense of calm. One director said, “People come back changed, like they’ve tasted peace.”
Philosophers are weighing in too. A deep dive by NPR’s philosophy desk speculated that such experiences might signify an evolutionary reflex—human consciousness preparing itself to accept mortality in softer ways.
Reyes insists there was more than biology at play: she claims she felt her soul detach and drift upward, guided by invisible hands into a glowing tunnel. “I wasn’t afraid,” she said. “I felt love so immense it dissolved every fear I had in life.” The spiritual site Spirituality Today analyzed the transformative shift she reports.
Reyes’s story has drawn criticism too. Some science writers argue that near-death experiences are merely oxygen-deprived hallucinations. One viral article on Skeptical Inquirer challenged her metaphysical framing as misleading for vulnerable audiences.
On TikTok and Instagram, clips of her describing the point where consciousness leaves the body have gone viral. Fans posted emotional reactions: “I cried hearing her whisper ‘everything ended—and began at once.’ ” That spread through thousands of shares across spiritual and skeptic circles alike.
Medical professionals caution that while powerful, such experiences must be contextualized carefully. **Researchers from Stanford** note that emotional catharsis and therapeutic benefit can follow—but so can false memory or misinterpretation. Stanford Medicine covered these ethical concerns.
Reyes’s creative medium has changed too. She is now offering guided “end-of-life visualization workshops,” promising people emotional closure. Critics worry this commodifies a deeply personal and medically miraculous return. A business magazine raised alarm: Fast Company’s report called the trend “a blend of healing and hype.”
Despite criticism, her followers remain devoted. A GoFundMe collecting support for her medical bills has raised over $25,000, with donors writing messages like “Your vision saved us” and “Thank you for sharing what we fear.” Another user wrote on r/near_death: “Her words about peace in darkness felt like a prophecy.”
Beyond memory flashbacks and soul-light metaphors, Reyes summarized what dying felt like: “It wasn’t pain—it was release. Warmth. And I met someone I can’t explain.” Philosophers point out that this echoes ancient wisdom across cultures—from Tibetan Bardo to Egyptian Duat, where death is transition, not end. Classical texts from JSTOR reflect similar journeys.
As Reyes speaks, listeners ask if death should truly be feared. Viral polls on Twitter and Instagram Stories show 83% of respondents saying their fears eased after hearing her talk. One spiritual counselor said the phenomenon is part ancient rite, part modern miracle—melding science and soul in equal measure.
Her experience underscores a powerful tension: is near-death a biological glitch—or the soul’s last bridge? Luna Reyes insists it was clear: “I crossed over, I came back—and I felt love so huge it shook me to my core.”
