Previously, in Part 1 of 2 of Nicole Majik’s near-death experiences, Nicole described how a highway accident in 2006 plunged her into a mysterious realm where she encountered a calming presence, experienced a powerful farewell vision with her children, and shot through a tunnel before suddenly returning to her body miles down the road. When she came back, the depression that had consumed her was gone — and something inside her had changed.

Her second major near-death experience came in June 2023 during what was supposed to be routine gallbladder surgery. In the week leading up to it, Nicole knew — through spiritual knowing — that she would face a choice of whether to stay or go. She told no one, understanding that sharing it would hand others the power to co-create her outcome through fear. Then, as she lay on the operating table and the anesthesia began to take hold, she says the same spiritual presence came over her again. Nicole believes it was the same presence she first encountered during her 2006 experience, still guiding what happened next.

So, when that [presence] came over me in that space, I said, “OK, like here I am.” And my consciousness went to my friend Sandy. And I was saying, “Sandy,” because she and I had like a really good connection telepathically. And I said, “Sandy, remember these words. I have to come back. I have work left here to do. Like a lot of work left here to do. I have to come back.”

Under anesthesia, Nicole visited friends and family, then encountered a soul she recognized from past lifetimes — a deep cosmic connection she had been searching for her entire life. Then the downloads began.

And it was like I could see super fast flashes of pictures, it’s how it was being transmitted to me, kind of like if I were to flip through a huge picture book, and you could just see like a window of a house, a flower, a part of a tree, or whatever, all these like different little blips. As the downloads would open afterwards, you’d get the full picture. So, I was watching this energy. It was like I was inside the energy and watching it at the same time. It was just like this weird space, and knowing that these downloads were happening, and I was connected with this person, and then after that Light just went huge, and then I was trying to come back in, and I was outside of my body, and I could hear the nurse and the nurse was saying, “Nicole, Nicole.” And then I’d open my eyes, and she would say, “You have to take a deep breath for me right now.”

Nicole went in and out of consciousness seven times. The nurse told her she had stayed in recovery far longer than any other patient from that surgery. She had entered the hospital around 7 a.m. and didn’t leave until 3:30 p.m. Later, her friend Sandy called.

She was like, “I don’t know what you were doing at 10:08 [a.m.], but you appeared to me in my car as I was driving. And I had a feeling like that you were wondering if you should stay or if you should go. And I was like, ‘You get back in there right now because you have a lot of work to do and you need to get back there now.’” And I was like, all I could say to her at that moment was, “I have to talk to you about this tomorrow. I can’t believe you’re saying the words that I said to you before the surgery.”

Weeks later, through a mutual friend, Nicole met a man she felt she had known forever — and discovered he had been in the same hospital on the same day as her surgery, having a heart attack.

And he had a near-death experience where he was like, “You were pushing me back into my body.” Like he was getting ready to take off, and I was like, “Oh no.” And I showed him the way back in. That’s why I kept going in and out and in and out and in and out because he wasn’t back in yet, and I needed to be able to help him to stay so that he could do the work that he was meant to do as well.

They later became a couple and are still together. For Nicole, both experiences point to the same truth: that surrender — not resistance — is the key to navigating life, death, and everything in between.

I think the biggest thing is that we’ve been programmed to fight, fight this. Let’s fight this. And I’ve heard many people say, “I’m fighting it. I’m fighting it.” No, don’t fight it. Release it. Don’t fight. Because when you resist, you create more resistance. You resist resistance, creating more resistance, which creates more pain, which propagates the same thing. So, we’ve got to get into that place of releasing and surrender in a trustful knowing that we are taken care of, that we are guided, and it’s about learning the lessons and moving forward and being able to trust our own self, our own intuition, and our own sovereignty.
