A Greater Understanding Of Out Of Body Experience
Anytime an individual experiences the sensation of floating outside of their body, this is called an OBE or out of body experience. This is an experience that has been scientifically proven to occur and ordinarily happens when a person is very close to death.
There is also a phenomenon known as astral projection and this is when your physical body is being observed by you from outside of your body, this is also an out of body experience. This is a real experience and one that should not be ignored. There have been many people that were on the verge of dying that have come back to share their experiences, they have been able to tell other's in the room what was going on even though medically speaking the were non-responsive.
The term out of body experience started to be used in 1943, instead of the term 'projection.' The out of the body experience used to be termed as 'spirit walking,' which is a more belief centric term. It is important to note that scientists are still doing research on out of body experiences because they don't consider it something that is imaginary.
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.
Not all out of the body experiences happen near death. There are a number of OBEs that are spontaneous or are done on purpose. They can also be brought on by mental or physical trauma, drug use, or trance or coma state.
You may even be able to deliberately induce an out of body experience. You can find books and courses that claim to be able to teach you how to astral travel at will. It is thought that the Ancients had the natural ability for astral travel but this art has been lost throughout the generations. However, once taught the proper way to do it, people today can purposely have an out of body experience without the need of well trained mental powers or even advanced spiritual development.
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.
If you believe in the fact that your astral body can leave the physical body for a while and still make it back then astral travel will be easy. However for those that have even the slightest bit of doubt it is recommended that they not attempt to do any sort of out of the body experience.
One the mind has been silenced and you know that you believe the astral body will return you can use mediation or hypnosis to achieve a successful out of the body experience. This should be begin by thinking positively, repeatedly tell yourself that you want to astral travel and that it is safe. Once the mind finally takes over you will find that you are very open to the idea of astral travel.
To do this lay down in a place where you are not going to be bothered, this needs to be a place that quiet and that is free from disturbances. Let your arms rest at your sides, now your aura is going to become one with Mother Nature. You should be breathing deeply, slowly, methodically, letting your body relax so that your astral body is able to go forth and explore the realm outside of your body. You will notice a tingling feeling; encourage this sensation as it is the feeling of the astral body leaving the physical body. Try to push out any physical thoughts that are entering your mind, just concentrate and breathe.
Normally an out of body experience begins with vibrations and a rapid heartbeat. Allow these vibrations to completely engulf you. Make sure you remain calm. Don't allow yourself to become over excited, but the vibrations take over your body, soul, and heart. Before long you find that you have left your physical body and are beginning an exciting astral journey.
Many people have developed the ability to astral travel. Some of them report that the out of body experience is cut short because of their fear of getting to far away from the physical body. Others report they visit other realms where they undergo experiences that are so real they are certain they are not dreaming. You can learn how to astral travel just like humans have done throughout history, it all starts with the belief that you can.
