  • The Light Gate Episode #091: Heidi Hansen (experiencer/author)
    May 4 2026
    Tonight, The Light Gate welcomes back experiencer and author, Heidi Elisabeth Hansen. Heidi is a spiritual writer and her first ever contact with God happened at the tender age of 6 months. Throughout her life, she has had countless moving miraculous events and profound spiritual insights. The experiences she writes about in her books, shown through the powerful unconscious mind deeply rooted in her connection with God, have taught her many things. One of those lessons was asking God correctly and in detail when something was on her mind. You will experience all this while reading her books. She has had so, so, so many amazing experiences of all kinds.

    Says Heidi, “My humble hope is that my books will take you on a journey that will hopefully positively influence your life. By listening to God, I have not only saved my life but also the life of my son. Furthermore, I found a lost boy and avoided an assault, just to mention a few events. My book tells a story of a life filled with supernatural events and several people have asked me to share these experiences with the world. These experiences are real-life stories; stories that sometimes can be a little intimidating and very scary to deal with. It is an area that has given me an insight into not being alone in this world and not being afraid of sharing the stories with you all anymore. I hope to bring you enlightenment on your path in life so that you too will become a beacon of light that others will be inspired by.”

    Heidi is a Dame/Lady at The Most Honourable Order of Christian Knights of the Rose. She currently resides in Vordingborg, Denmark.

    Here’s a review of one of her amazing book: Tove Johansen wrote on the German Amazon these words: “This new book I bought, really got me sitting on the edge of my chair while reading it. Yet again like the 2 other books in this category she wrote, is soo good, fantastic, chilling and very well written like you where there yourself. Real-life experiences like these are rare so thank you Author Heidi Elisabeth Hansen for raising awareness of these subjects.”
