A Greater Understanding Of Out Of Body Experience
An out of body experience is an interesting phenomenon that people often experience at the time of impending death but happens at other times as well. Sometimes referred to an OBE, this experience has been scientifically studied and validated. An OBE is a sensation of floating outside of your body while you are still aware of your surroundings.
An out of body experience is also called astral projection, especially when it is done intentionally. There have been numerous substantiated reports of people on death's door leaving their bodies and looking down upon them while medical workers rushed about the room in an attempt to save their lives. After their lives are spared they are able to describe the activities in detail from a perspective in a location other than their physical body lying on a hospital bed.
In olden times, an out of body experience was called spirit walking. People have reported this phenomenon throughout the ages and it has become the subject of scientific studies in modern times.
About 1 out of every 10 people will at some time in their lives, encounter this kind of experience. The statistics are large regarding the number of people that have experienced an out of body experience, so this is something that shouldn't be viewed with skepticism.
A person does not have to be near death to have an out of body experience. There are times that this can happen spontaneously. There are also times that an out of the body experience can be brought on by a mental or physical trauma. As well as when a person has used drugs or slipped into a coma.
There are a number of sites on the Internet that promise you the enjoyment of astral projection and travel. If you know how to do it, astral projection isn't difficult at all. Astral projection is supposedly a natural process that was used frequently by the ancients. It's unfortunate, but many of their descendents have abandoned the art of astral projection. A large level of mental or spiritual power isn't necessary for an out of body experience.
You should be able to focus your concentration on one specific point, but many times the conscious mind holds you back because of the fear that once you've projected your mind out of your physical body, you won't be able to return. It is this subconscious fear that prevents astral projection and travel.
You must develop the belief that it is possible for your astral body to safely leave your physical body. You must also believe that both bodies will be safe during the separation and your astral body will always be able to return. If you do harbor fear that you will die if your astral body separates or that it will get stuck in limbo, then it is probably not a good idea to delve into astral projection until your fear of the out of body experience has been resolved.
If you have been able to completely silence your mind and truly believe it's possible, then you're likely ready to travel. In order to successfully go through an OBE, you will have to use both self hypnosis and meditation. Continue to the positively and keep telling yourself that you truly one to have a successful out of body experience. When your mind completely takes over, you will be incredibly receptive to the thought of astral travel.
Set aside a time when you will not be disturbed. Stretch out and make yourself comfortable. Place your arms at your side. Take slow deep breaths and work on total relaxation of your physical body. When your physical body and mind are in a state of deep relaxation, your astral body can depart and explore new dimensions of reality that exist beyond your present mental and physical awareness. As it prepares to leave for an out of body experience, you will notice that your body begins to tingle. Don't fight this sensation, but encourage it. Ignore any conscious thoughts you may have and focus only on taking gentle deep breaths.
An OBE usually begins with a rapid heartbeat and vibrations. Allow these vibrations to completely engulf you. Don't allow yourself to get overly excited. Concentrate on remaining calm. Allow the sensations to completely take over your body, soul, and heart. You will soon find that your astral body is leaving your physical body and you are beginning an exciting astral journey.
Many people that have gone through an out of body experience say it ended because they feared they were moving too far away from their physical body. They report that the experience was not a dream because they were existing in another sphere or realm and going through experiences there. If you want to experience the excitement of astral travel and really believe that its possible, then you CAN do it.
