Exploring The Universe With Out Of Body Experience And Astral Travel
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.
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 1943 the term, out of body experience, began to be used rather than the belief centric term 'projection'. In the past, an out of body experience was called 'spirit walking' and scientists are currently researching this phenomenon because they simply can't think of it as something 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 will come across many places online that promise you the thrills of astral projection and travel. Really, it's not difficult to do if you know how to go about it the right way. Astral projection is said to be a completely natural process that was used frequently be the ancients. Sadly, many of their descendents have forgotten all about the lost art of astral projection. You may find it hard to believe, but a high level of spiritual or mental power is not necessary in order to successfully have an out of body experience.
You will need the power of concentration however. Your conscious mind fears the out of body experience because of the concern that you will not be able to re-enter your body. This feat is what keeps you inside of your body and makes astral projection difficult to accomplish at will.
Belief also plays a role in being able to astral travel successfully. If you believe it is safe and actually possible for your astral body to leave your physical body and return unharmed, then your conscious mind will more readily let go of your astral self. If you have fear that your astral body will not be able to find its way back inside of your physical body or you fear your physical body will die without your astral body, then you should not play around with inducing an out of body experience.
However, if you are able to silence your mind, and believe that your astral body will return to your physical body you can astral travel. Any purposeful (done on purpose)out of the body experience starts with a mediation or self hypnosis. You have to start thinking positively by telling yourself that you want to have an out of the body experience. When the mind takes over you are will notice that you are more open to the thought of astral travel.
Find a place where you won't be disturbed and lie down with your arms at your sides. Give yourself time to let your aura harmonize with the aura of Mother Nature. Begin to breath deeply and focus on relaxing your body in a way that will allow your astral body to venture forth to explore all the dimensions that are outside of your mental and physical knowledge. You will feel your body begin to tingle. Don't try to stop this sensation, but encourage it. If any conscious thoughts pop up in your mind, push them aside and focus on breathing gently and deeply.
Your body will probably feel vibrations and your heartbeat may become rapid. Keep yourself centered and calm. Don't get excited or you may thwart the out of body experience. Let the feelings engulf you while you focus only on your breath. In this state, your astral body is able to leave your physical body behind and set off on an exciting journey. Just allow it to happen rather than trying to force it.
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.
