Résumé
Les expériences de mort imminente (EMI) sont maintenant étudiées en clinique en tant qu’expériences exceptionnelles. Elles font l’objet de recherches pluridisciplinaires depuis de nombreuses années, ce qui permet d’appréhender le rapport à la mort sous des angles nouveaux et d’observer les processus de changement à la suite de telles expériences. Dans cet article, nous regroupons selon quatre dimensions les explications fournies par les chercheurs au sujet des EMI, pour ensuite nous intéresser au lien entre EMI et spiritualité. Nous présentons l’EMI comme une forme de manifestation du sacré, une hiérophanie au sens proposé par Mircea Eliade.

Abstract
Near-death experiences (NDE) are now studied in the clinic as exceptional experiences. They have been the subject of multidisciplinary research for many years, which makes it possible to understand the relationship to death from new angles and to observe the processes of change following such experiences. In this article, we group the explanations provided by researchers about NDEs according to four dimensions, and then focus on the link between NDEs and spirituality. We present NDE as a form of manifestation of the sacred, a hierophany in the sense proposed by Mircea Eliade.
Keywords:
- near-death experiences,
- spirituality,
- hierophany,
- sacred
