What Is The Difference Between Projection and Out Of Body Experience?
An out of body experience, also called an OBE, is a scientifically proven phenomenon where a person seems to be floating outside of his physical body. This experience is common in near death situations but it also occurs at other times.
There is also a phenomenon known as astral projection and this is when your physical body is being observed by you from outside of your body, this is also an out of body experience. This is a real experience and one that should not be ignored. There have been many people that were on the verge of dying that have come back to share their experiences, they have been able to tell other's in the room what was going on even though medically speaking the were non-responsive.
Astral travel used to be referred to as 'spirit walking.' It was in 1943 that the term out of body experience started being used to take away from the former more belief centered term. To this day scientists are still doing research on the phenomena, as they do not consider it to be a made up event.
Consider that 1 out of every 10 people have encountered an experience such as this at one point in their life or another. The statistics for individuals that have experienced an out of body experience are staggering. So while a person may want to look at this skeptically, one can not deny the facts.
An out of body experience can happen at various times. It could be brought on by psychedelic drugs or happen as a result of a deep trance. It may be the result of mental or emotional trauma. Physical trauma or coma may initiate an out of body experience. Sometimes it may happen spontaneously while other times it may be done intentionally.
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.
This does not mean that a person doesn't have to concentrate on one point. Understand that your conscious mind is going to hold you back out of fear. The fear that once your astral body is out it won't be able to get back in, hence leaving you an empty shell. This fear is a subconscious fear.
Belief also plays a role in being able to astral travel successfully. If you believe it is safe and actually possible for your astral body to leave your physical body and return unharmed, then your conscious mind will more readily let go of your astral self. If you have fear that your astral body will not be able to find its way back inside of your physical body or you fear your physical body will die without your astral body, then you should not play around with inducing an out of body experience.
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.
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.
An OBE usually begins with a rapid heartbeat and vibrations. Allow these vibrations to completely engulf you. Don't allow yourself to get overly excited. Concentrate on remaining calm. Allow the sensations to completely take over your body, soul, and heart. You will soon find that your astral body is leaving your physical body and you are beginning an exciting astral journey.
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.
