A BRITISH skier who 'died' for 20 MINUTES after being trapped in an avalanche revealed today how she "saw a peaceful forest" while experiencing the "afterlife". Rhianna Shaw, 29, said "everything became so peaceful" after she made the chilling decision to stop breathing following a clash on the slopes in February 2012. Rhianna initially thought she was having a vivid dream, because she can recount a number of journeys after a night's sleep. But this was different because she had died, but her brain was still ticking. She said: "I started walking along a pathway in this peaceful, pale forest. It had big tall evergreens on either side. "Everything was as bright as day. Weirdly it was so calming, and it looked like there was some kind of snow on the ground but not like snow as we know it." Rhianna believes she was conscious for at least five minutes before she decided to let herself die.
Experts have suggested that we remain 'trapped' inside our bodies even after our hearts stop beating. Dr Sam Parina and his team from New York University Langone School of Medicine launched a study into consciousness after death. They found that survivors of cardiac arrest were aware of what was going on around them while they were 'dead' before being 'brought back to life'. Rhianna still loves to ski, but is very much aware of the danger guidelines in place. On that day, officials said the threat of an avalanche was a level four out of five. Without her near-death experience, Rhianna wouldn't have had the determination to launch her private tutoring service. The "peaceful" forest, opened her eyes that she had "hacked life", and can now help children "hack their exams" to do really well in their careers, with her Eagle Tutoring service.
