The term "near-death experience" (NDE) was popularized by Dr Raymond Moody in 1975 when he published his bestselling book Life After Life . Since then, he and others like Dr Bruce Greyson continued to study these remarkable stories of the other side told by people who returned to life after clinically dying. These experiences have been reported for thousands of years from people all around the world and many share common characteristics. For example, NDErs often report feeling an unimaginable sense of peace and love in the afterlife, like they have never known before. Many also report experiencing a "life review" during which they feel, without judgement, the impact their actions, thoughts, and words in life had on others.
NDErs are generally significantly impacted by their experience. Their lives are often never the same. Many come back from death with different priorities including a strong desire to help others. They often have a keen understanding of how even the little things we do, think, or say can have a significant positive or negative impact on many others. Some talk about this as a "ripple effect" and how we have a choice in every moment of our lives to generate good ripples or bad ones. Listen to a few NDErs talk about this below. Our hope is that people will listen to these NDEs and feel inspired to generate more good ripples, or as we say, RIPPLE WELL.

[VERSE]
Every thought
Every word
Every action
It creates a reaction
Everything you do
Ripples through
Affecting me and others too
You know it's true
[CHORUS]
Everything you do it matters
Makes the world better or sadder
It's your choice
It's your chance
Will you do something good or bad
