Understanding Out Of Body Experience And Astral Travel
There is a sensation a person experiences, one in which they feel as though they are floating outside of their body. This is what is called an out of body experience or OBE. This experience has been scientifically proven and happens most often when a person is near death.
Those who have an OBE report they can look down upon their physical body lying in a room. In cases where it happens near death in a hospital setting, they have memories of activities going on in the room as hospital personnel work to save their lives. This type of eerie occurrence has happened to many people and been thoroughly documented numerous times. Some people refer to this out of body experience as astral projection.
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.
Nearly one in every ten people have gone through an experience like this at one point in the lives. Because the number of individuals that have experienced an OBE, this cannot be looked at 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.
You may even be able to deliberately induce an out of body experience. You can find books and courses that claim to be able to teach you how to astral travel at will. It is thought that the Ancients had the natural ability for astral travel but this art has been lost throughout the generations. However, once taught the proper way to do it, people today can purposely have an out of body experience without the need of well trained mental powers or even advanced spiritual development.
You should be able to focus your concentration on one specific point, but many times the conscious mind holds you back because of the fear that once you've projected your mind out of your physical body, you won't be able to return. It is this subconscious fear that prevents astral projection and travel.
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 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.
To get started, locate a peaceful area where you won't be disturbed. Lie down with your arms at your sides and allow your aura to harmonize Mother Nature. Breath deeply, focusing on completely relaxing your physical body in a manner that will allow your astral body to venture forth and explore the dimensions far beyond your mental and physical knowledge. You will soon start to feel your body beginning to tingle. Allow this sensation. Anytime a conscious thought sneaks into your head, push it aside and focus on gentle, deep breathing.
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.
Many people that have gone through an out of body experience say the OBE ended because they feared they were getting too far from their physical body. These people explain that their experiences were definitely not a dream and they were in an entirely different realm or sphere and undergoing experiences there. If you want to enter the exciting world of astral projection and astral travel, just remember that as long as you believe it's possible you will be able to do it.
