Betty Eadie
Résumé
Betty (Jean) Eadie (born 1942) is a prominent American author of several books on near-death experiences (NDEs). Her best-known book is the number 1 New York Times bestselling book Embraced by the Light, (1992) describing her NDE. It was followed by The Awakening Heart (1996), which was also a best-seller. The Ripple Effect (1999) and Embraced by the Light: Prayers and Devotions for Daily Living (2001) were both published independently.
Eadie was born in Valentine, Nebraska to “a full-blooded Sioux Indian” mother and Scotch-Irish father, and was primarily raised on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. When she was four years old, Eadie's parents separated and she was placed in St. Francis Indian School, an American Indian boarding school, along with six of her siblings. While in high school, she dropped out to care for a younger sister. She later studied to receive her diploma while on bed rest during her final pregnancy, and eventually pursued a college degree. She spent time variously in churches affiliated with Catholicism, Methodism, and for a time the LDS Church in Seattle, though in numerous public talks she subsequently declared herself non-denominational.
After her NDE, Betty began volunteering her time at a cancer research center comforting dying patients and their families. She then studied hypnotherapy, graduating at the top of her class, and later opened her own clinic. After Embraced by the Light was published, Eadie gave up her hypnotherapy practice and began traveling extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Ireland, speaking on death and the afterlife.
After four decades of NDE studies, Eadie continues to collect and evaluate near-death accounts, as well as giving speeches and lectures.
In her NDE account, Eadie reports many phenomena similar to other NDE accounts, such as going through a dark tunnel, seeing a bright light and experiencing a Life review, as well as other features unique to her story. In 1973, at age 31, Eadie was recovering from a surgical operation.
