Sorry no "religious experiences" (maybe because I'm not religious) but I would not be broken up if it happened again since I consider it a positive experience.

Anyone else?
Similar, post Sx. Except while I was in some state of being only aware of my lack of breathing, and the difficulty doing so, I had a certain peace in the idea of just going to death. ...until I thought of those who would really be PO'd if I did. But in that previous moment, dying felt quite natural. ...appropriate.

Our bodies have a certain fragility, and yet life is so obviously tenacious. And, it is what it is, no matter what your belief.
