A Universe Awaits! Experimenting With Out Of Body Experience
The feeling of floating outside of your body is what is known as an out of the body experience. Out of body experience also known as OBE is a scientifically proven phenomenon. This experience happens frequently for those that are near death.
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.
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.
Consider that 1 out of every 10 people have encountered an experience such as this at one point in their life or another. The statistics for individuals that have experienced an out of body experience are staggering. So while a person may want to look at this skeptically, one can not deny the facts.
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.
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.
Concentration and focus is required in order to have an out of body experience at will though because your conscious mind will work against you to prevent your astral body from leaving. There is an innate fear that your astral body will not come back and this acts like a roadblock when you want to learn astral projection.
It is believed that a person's astral body is able to leave the physical body for a short time. If a person truly believes that he can project the astral body from the physical body, he is on his way to succeeding. This is because he has already suggested himself into allowing his conscious mind to completely 'let go'. However, if there is even a tiny bit of fear that the astral body will escape from the physical body and leave him in a state of limbo, he should not try this kind of experiment.
If you are confident in your beliefs, then you must silence your mind with methods like self hypnosis and meditation so you can leave your body. Think positive thoughts about having an out of body experience and tell yourself that you will astral travel. Once your thoughts are in the right place, your mind will take over and be receptive to astral projection.
To get started, locate a peaceful area where you won't be disturbed. Lie down with your arms at your sides and allow your aura to harmonize Mother Nature. Breath deeply, focusing on completely relaxing your physical body in a manner that will allow your astral body to venture forth and explore the dimensions far beyond your mental and physical knowledge. You will soon start to feel your body beginning to tingle. Allow this sensation. Anytime a conscious thought sneaks into your head, push it aside and focus on gentle, deep breathing.
In addition to the tingling, you may feel like your body is vibrating and your heart may feel like it is racing. Don't get excited by these feelings or try to stop them. Focus on your breathing and let the feelings engulf you. Let the out of body experience unfold and soon your astral body will be free to adventure on an amazing journey into unknown realms.
For some people, their astral journey ended because a fear overcame them that their astral body was not going to be able to make it back because it was getting to far away. They have also stated that then knew that they weren't dreaming because they knew that they were existing in another realm having experiences there. The key to an out of body experience such as astral travel or projection is believing that you can do it and believing that your astral body will make it back.
