How to Engage in an 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.
This is due to the fact that the statistics back up the claims that out of body experiences do take place. Consider that one out of every ten people have experienced an out of body experience at some point I their life.
The out of body experience could be triggered by mental or physical trauma. It may come about through the use of psychedelic drugs or happen when the body slips into a deep coma. It may even happen spontaneously or when one is in a deep trance.
Many people have learned how to have an out of body experience any time they want one. The natural ability to astral travel was well known among the Ancients but is a talent that has been lost throughout the generations. However, you can learn astral projection from a teacher or through a book or audio course. It is a matter of learning the correct technique and does not depend upon mental powers or spiritual development.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Trust that your astral body is going to make it back to your body. A number of people that have had out of the body experiences state that their journey ended because of the sudden fear that their astral body was getting to far away from their physical body. They also state that they know they had an out of the body experience because they were a part of the different experiences taking place in another realm. If you believe that you can astral travel you will be able to astral travel.
