Out Of Body Experience Explained
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.
The concept of perceiving your own body from a realm or sphere that is outside of your body is what is known as astral projection, which is also an out of body experience. This is not an occurrence that should be ignored or scoffed at. There have been too many different accounts by a variety of people that have experienced an OBE and were able to come back and tell people what was happening in the room around them as people worked to save them.
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.
Sometimes a person will undergo an OBE spontaneously and other times they are brought on by some kind of physical or mental trauma, if the body is in a coma or trance, or with the use of psychedelic drugs.
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.
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.
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.
One you have the proper beliefs you must work on quieting the mind. You can use techniques like meditation and self hypnosis. Keep your mindset positive when trying to induce an out of body experience. Let your mind and body take over and allow the experience to unfold naturally as you hold the intention to leave your body.
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.
Typically an out of the body experience begins with the feelings of vibrations and an increased heart rate. Stay calm and breathe, let the vibrations embrace you. Avoid getting excited, just let them take over your body, you are soon going to experience your astral body leaving your for an astral journey.
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.
