The experience contains several standard NDE elements that align with biblical accounts, including the out-of-body experience and awareness of death. However, significant concerns arise from the post-NDE development of mediumship abilities, which directly contradicts biblical prohibitions against consulting with spirits of the dead (Leviticus 19:31, Deuteronomy 18:10-12). The subject's practice of tarot reading and divination further conflicts with scriptural teachings. While the initial experience of separation from the body could be viewed neutrally, the subsequent spiritual practices developed are explicitly forbidden in Scripture.

The subject's statement that "my soul knows no religion" and emphasis on universal spiritual awakening reflects new age philosophy rather than biblical Christianity. The development of psychic abilities and communication with deceased individuals contradicts the biblical understanding that the dead cannot communicate with the living (Luke 16:26). While the experience led to positive life changes and increased spiritual awareness, the specific spiritual path taken involves practices the Bible warns against. The focus on becoming a "spiritual life coach" and creating music about spiritual awakening, while positive in intent, promotes a spirituality incompatible with biblical teaching when it includes occult practices.
Colecia experienced a drug-induced car accident that led to severe trauma and an out-of-body experience. She was huffing air duster while driving to pick up a friend for a party when she lost consciousness behind the wheel. Her car struck an electric pole and ended up between two trees in the woods, resulting in life-threatening injuries including internal bleeding, multiple fractures, and respiratory failure.

During the accident, Colecia found herself floating above her body, looking down at herself lying in the wreckage. She described feeling like she was underwater and coming out of herself. Initially unaware she was dying, she only realized the gravity of her situation when she tried to breathe but could not. When she sat up in her spiritual form and turned around, she saw her physical body still lying there unconscious. The separation was vivid and clear - she could observe everything from an elevated perspective.

The person who found her knew her name and was calling out to her, which she credits with bringing her awareness back to the fact that she was dying. She describes making a conscious decision to return to life rather than continue in the separated state. According to the rescuer, when he opened the car door, the headrest was touching the back seat and airbags had deployed over her body. When he removed the airbag, her body immediately sat up, though she has no memory of this physical response.

Colecia spent 13 days in the hospital with extensive injuries including a broken nose, fractured cheekbone, three holes in her face, fractured vertebrae, two broken ribs, and internal bleeding. The experience taught her about the distinction between soul and body - her soul felt strong and on fire while her body was broken. This led to a spiritual awakening and development of mediumship abilities, including visions and communication with deceased individuals. She now works as a spiritual life coach and creates music about her experiences.
