Out Of Body Experience - What Is It?
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.
The experience of being able to view your physical body from a place outside the body is known as both an astral projection and an out of body experience. This is an idea that certainly shouldn't be scoffed at. There are countless people that were thought to be at death's door that have made it back with vivid memories of seeing their physical body lying lifelessly in a room. They can also give an unusually detailed description of the activities that were going on in the room.
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.
There are a plethora of websites on the net that promise a person astral travel and astral projection joys. Astral projection is not a difficult thing for one to do, as long as that person does it the right way. It is believed that astral projection is a natural process, a process that has been since ancient times by ancient people. Unfortunately the generations of the ancients that are here today have forgotten about the art of astral projection. The good news is that out of body experiences do not require a high level of mental power or spiritual awareness or connectivity.
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.
There is an underlying belief that your astral body can leave the physical body for a short time. For people that embrace this belief, astral travel or out of body experiences are easier to do. This is due to the fact that this person's mind has already been conditioned to let go, which is essential to astral projection. Even the slightest fear or doubt that the astral body is going to be able to make it back is reason enough for you to now attempt any sort of out of the body experience on purpose.
If you've silenced your mind and truly believe, you will have to use some meditation in addition to self hypnosis to successfully go through an out of body experience. Think positively, telling yourself that you truly want to complete an out of body experience or astral projection. Once you allow your mind to take over, you will find that you're very receptive to the idea of astral travel.
You must choose a time and location where you will not be disturbed. Lie down with your arms at your sides. Take slow deep breaths and focus on your breathing to the exclusion of everything else. Enter a state of deep relaxation so that your physical body will let go of your astral body and let it go forth into new dimensions that are not open to mental or physical exploration. When your astral body is preparing to leave, your body will begin to tingle. Don't fight this sensation. Relax and let it happen. If any conscious thoughts pop into your mind, just ignore them and keep your focus on breathing.
The first thing you will notice is that you feel vibrations and your heart rate will increase. This is the way that most out of the body experiences begin. Let the vibrations envelope you, let them take over your body and your soul. Very soon you are going to experience your astral body leaving the physical body.
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.
