What It Is To Leave Your Physical Body - Out Of Body Experience
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.
In olden times, an out of body experience was called spirit walking. People have reported this phenomenon throughout the ages and it has become the subject of scientific studies in modern times.
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.
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.
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 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 is believed that a person's astral body is able to leave the physical body for a short time. If a person truly believes that he can project the astral body from the physical body, he is on his way to succeeding. This is because he has already suggested himself into allowing his conscious mind to completely 'let go'. However, if there is even a tiny bit of fear that the astral body will escape from the physical body and leave him in a state of limbo, he should not try this kind of experiment.
However, if you are able to silence your mind, and believe that your astral body will return to your physical body you can astral travel. Any purposeful (done on purpose)out of the body experience starts with a mediation or self hypnosis. You have to start thinking positively by telling yourself that you want to have an out of the body experience. When the mind takes over you are will notice that you are more open to the thought of astral travel.
Find a place where you won't be disturbed and lie down with your arms at your sides. Give yourself time to let your aura harmonize with the aura of Mother Nature. Begin to breath deeply and focus on relaxing your body in a way that will allow your astral body to venture forth to explore all the dimensions that are outside of your mental and physical knowledge. You will feel your body begin to tingle. Don't try to stop this sensation, but encourage it. If any conscious thoughts pop up in your mind, push them aside and focus on breathing gently and deeply.
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.
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.
