Out Of Body Experiences Discussed
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.
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.
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.
It has been estimated that around one in ten people will have an out of body experience at some time. With so many people having this experience and offering such a large amount of data for study, it becomes impossible to dismiss astral travel as an imaginary incident.
A person does not have to be near death to have an out of body experience. There are times that this can happen spontaneously. There are also times that an out of the body experience can be brought on by a mental or physical trauma. As well as when a person has used drugs or slipped into a coma.
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.
It's believed that a person's astral body is able to leave the physical body for a short period of time. When a person truly believes that he is able to project his astral body from his physical body, he is on his well on his way to succeeding. This is because he has already auto suggested to his conscious mind to completely 'let go'. However, if there is even the slightest bit of fear that the astral body will be able to escape from the physical body and wind up in a permanent state of limbo, a person is much better off not attempting any kind of experimentation.
One the mind has been silenced and you know that you believe the astral body will return you can use mediation or hypnosis to achieve a successful out of the body experience. This should be begin by thinking positively, repeatedly tell yourself that you want to astral travel and that it is safe. Once the mind finally takes over you will find that you are very open 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.
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.
