What is an Out of Body Experience?

In recent years, public attention and even scientific research has focused on the instance of out of body experiences, also known as OBEs. When someone has an OBE, their physical body is left behind. The spirit being effectively leaves the confines of the corporeal world and experiences transcendence into the astral realm.

OBEs can occur naturally. In most cases, documented out of body experiences occur in conjunction with some kind of physical or emotional trauma. The experience of severe pain – to the point where a person’s life is in danger – is often connected to the instance of an OBE. Known as a near death experience, many people have described feeling a protective white light, spiritual enlightenment, a calming presence, or an illuminating conversation with another deceased person such as a relative or friend. In these cases, the soul or spirit actually leaves the earthly body as it undergoes physical suffering. OBEs are manifestations of the spirit outside of the material realm.

If you’ve had an OBE, or you’re curious about OBEs, you needn’t worry – you can learn to have them independently. That is, you can leave behind your physical self and journey through the astral realm. Also called astral projection, it’s perfectly natural to be able to leave your body at will, if you train yourself correctly.

What Happens When You Leave Your Body?

When you have an OBE, you enter into what is known as the astral realm. Within the astral realm, you feel weightless, your soul is at peace, and you can let go of all physical confines. Within this new plane of being, you’ll be able to gain significant insights into your existence. This realm contains the answers to all of the metaphysical questions you’ve ever pondered, and your experiences there can help you illuminate your life in the present. The possibility for growth is made truly limitless within the astral plane.

Although it may sound utterly impossible to you now, the process of initiating a controlled OBE is simple and can be accomplished by anybody who is willing to put the time in to learn. Try the following alarm clock technique to initiate an OBE the next time it’s convenient for you.

Note: The following OBE-induction technique needs to be done after a full six hours of sleep, ideally in the wee hours of the morning. Start by setting your alarm clock for exactly six hours from the time you lay down to sleep. Plan to stay fully awake for an hour. Once you’ve been up for exactly one hour, lay back down. Follow these five steps and get ready to have an out of body experience!

Step 1: Relaxation

You may already be relaxed, since you’ve woken up from a sleep state. But in the case that you’re not, consciously focus on relaxing each part of your body, starting from your toes and moving to your forehead.

Step 2: Focus on your Third Eye

Your body contains a chakra center, filled with potent energy, in the middle of your forehead. By consciously focusing your attention on your third eye you can awaken your intuition to guide you through your OBE.

Step 3: Vibrational Pulsing

Start to feel the vibrations underlying your sense of stillness. These energies are very subtle, so a good way to begin is by tuning in to your heart beat and imagining waves of vibration flowing in time with your pulse.

Step 4: Visualization

Bring your attention to any images, colors or videos you might be seeing with your eyes closed. It’s at this point that a lot of people fall asleep, but if you can stay conscious at this point, you’re almost ready to project yourself out of your body.

Step 5: Floating

The only thing left to do now is wait until you feel yourself begin to float up and out of your body. When you leave your body, you may experience a number of physical sensations, but they will subside. Once you’ve exited your body you are free to explore the astral realm.

Out of body experiences can provide you with an enlightening glimpse into your existence. If you’d like to experience a controlled OBE today, learn more about astral projection.

Astral projection is a phenomenon that allows you to step outside of your physical body and enter an entirely new realm, called the astral plane. As an astral traveler you actually leave the confines of the physical world; you do not face the normal physical restriction of gravity. During your astral projection your reality revolves around your spiritual essence and you are freed from worldly pain and suffering. Astral projection enables you to experience unbounded happiness, mental clarity, and a cosmic presence.

If you’d like to access the many benefits of astral projection, you must first learn how to engage in this form of metaphysical travel. Out-of-body experiences will occasionally occur naturally, but with the proper information you can learn to control your own admittance into the astral world. Once you’ve acquired the know-how you need to astral project, you can visit the astral world whenever you feel like it.

Astral Projection Techniques to Travel Beyond

Most of the astral projection techniques used to induce a state of consciousness that’s conducive to astral projection rely on lucid dreaming. When you have a lucid dream, you have some awareness that the reality you are experiencing is a dream. You can even learn to control what you do and what happens in your dreams. Lucid dreams can occur during regular sleep; many people experience this phenomenon without trying. Astral projection techniques rely on lucid dreaming because it is a simple and easy way to access the subconscious.

The following astral projection techniques can be used by those who are ready to experience the wonders of astral projection. The techniques rely on your ability to access your subconscious mind through your dreams and your energy.

• Wake-Induced Lucid Dreaming (WILD): This technique involves stepping into the dream state with full conscious awareness. It is easiest to apply the WILD technique following four to seven hours of undisturbed sleep; depending on how much sleep you usually get, at this point you’ve slept sufficiently to return to your normal waking state, but you’ve had less sleep than usual. If you can program your subconscious to wake you up 2-3 hours prior to the time you usually get up, that is ideal, but if you can’t, then you may try setting an alarm. When you wake up, you can go through the steps of astral projection as outlined in the astral projection guide. Because your body has had less sleep than usual, you can easily slip back into the dream state with an awareness to initiate a lucid dream.
• Mnemonic-Induced Lucid Dreaming (MILD): Similar to the WILD technique, the MILD technique relies on lucid dreams. The subtle difference is that in this case, you train yourself to remember that you are dreaming. You can remain sleeping while using this technique. As you sleep and experience a dream, you’ll have trained yourself to identify what is happening and move forward from that point. Training yourself to do so involves thinking about your dreams while you are conscious. Try placing your conscious self in a dream you’ve had recently. You can also repeat an affirmation to remember you are dreaming the next time it happens. The key to identifying the dream state lies in very subtle clues that you can teach yourself to notice. Once you enter the lucid dream state, which is similar to self-hypnosis, you can move forward with astral projection.
• Tactile Imagining Technique: Watch the following video to learn more about the Tactile Imaging Technique put forward by author, teacher, and long time astral projector Robert Bruce.
  
  

If you’re ready to apply what you’ve learned about astral projection, these well-recognized astral projection techniques can be used to initiate your first out-of-body experience. The most important thing to remember as you try to astral project is that your experience with astral projection will be unique; you needn’t compare yourself to others who are also learning to astral project. Just as some people are able to come by learning to play a musical instrument or certain sports naturally, there are those that are able to astral project easily, even on their first try. You needn’t worry if you have to try and try again; the process of learning how to astral project requires time and patience for many people. If you’re having repeated difficulties trying a few different techniques is the best way to move forward.

The entire idea of astral projection is based on the premise that the spirit is able to leave the body and come back again. Since the physical body is constricting and anchored to this physical plane of existence, it is not able to move into a different plane of existence. So in order to explore a new dimension, it is important to leave your physical body behind.

Though astral projection was only performed by deeply religious people in the past, today it is performed by all kinds of people – especially the ones who are spiritually inclined. Since this is a practice where the spiritual body leaves the physical body, it is also known as an out of body experience. Your spiritual body can actually float out of your physical body and look at it while passing it by. This is considered to be an extremely therapeutic practice, associated with feelings of deep joy, positivity, purity, peace and relaxation.

Origins of Astral Projection

The exact origin of astral projections is not known. However, it is believed that astral projection was first practiced by sages in India from where the practiced was taken up by Buddhist monks who spread the practice to different parts of Asia and the world. The phenomenon of astral projection comes from a concept that there is a energy body inside this physical body. These two bodies are clearly distinct and are able to separate from each other. Further research and study into the field of astral projection has shown that there is an astral cord which binds the physical form of your body to the spiritual form. It is this astral cord that keeps your spirit anchored to the body even after it has roamed around in other dimensions.

Most of the time, people experience astral projections when they are sleeping. In fact most people experience spontaneous projections when they are asleep. Unfortunately, these projections are not controlled and therefore people are not able to remember them upon waking up.

How to Project?

There are a lot of different techniques for astral projections. Proponents of astral projection feel that there are techniques which can help you prepare your body and mind for astral travel. These techniques may take some time to master and you may have to try them for several days or even months before you are able to experience your first astral projection.

Today, owing to the improved projection techniques and the research available on it, a lot of people are able to project themselves and reap the benefits of this technique. However, there was a time when only a select few, with their patience and perseverance, were able to practice it. Today there are tools like binaural beats which can help you perform astral projections even if you are a novice.

Hypnotheraphy is the equivalence of closing all your applications and just opening the one that you actually need to use. It relaxes the mind to function at a higher level so the mind can absorb positive suggestions much better.

Now, hypnotheraphy can put a person into the best possible position to practice the Law of Attraction. Listen to Steve talk more about it on Fox News:

We have several dreams every night. Some of these, we are able to remember, but we forget the others. Dream focus is very similar to lucid dreaming, but it is a little more structured and a little easier to master. When in the dream state, try and exercise some control by focusing on a particular object or instance. The harder you focus on this object, the more control you have over the dream state.

Controlling your Dreams for Astral Projection

Start off by keeping a dream journal. As soon as you wake up in the morning, try and record as many details of the dreams you had as possible. Once you begin to do this, you will be able to see any patterns in your dreams. If you have any recurring dreams, or if you are able to find a recurring theme in these dreams, it will be easier for you to pick and choose objects for focusing on.

As discussed earlier, try to find an object that you can focus on in your dream. Even if it is a normal, most commonplace thing, you will be able to practice dream focus using it. This will probably not work if you go to bed a little tired. In case you are not able to perform this the first time you try it, keep trying it till you wake up with a distinct and clear memory of the object that you focused on. Once you are able to do this, it becomes easier to redo it the next time. Though it is difficult to keep your mind awake when your body is asleep, you will be able to do so with practice. if you find it really hard to do, you can use the help of binaural beats.

Astral Projection Advantages of Dream Focus

If you want to perform astral projection but are not able to, this is the perfect technique for you. This is a simple technique that does not require any special practice. All you need is a relaxed mind and a good sleep, and you can perform this. You can perform this technique any time you want and anywhere you want.

This focus technique can help you train yourself to focus on all kinds of dreams and since it is an easy and fuss free technique, you can simply integrate it into your everyday activities. Advanced practitioners are even able to perform this kind of dream focus when they are tired or exhausted to the bone.

With the right kind of mental training, you will be able to train your body and prepare it for performing an astral projection. Getting a grip on your mind will also help you perform more conscious astral projections. If till now, you have only experience spontaneous projections, and have not been able to gain any control over your experiences, mental training can help you deal with that.

Mind Training Techniques for Astral Projection

Though performing yoga to train your mind may seem extremely clichéd, the fact is that medication and yoga are the best way to prepare your mind and your body to perform astral projections. Regular meditation for months can help you focus your attention and improve your overall mental acuity. It is important to understand that the more control you have over your mental faculties, the better chances there are for you to have more meaningful astral projections.

You can also attempt hypnotherapy to tap into your unconscious mind and improve your mental acuity. However, it is best to perform the hypnotherapy in the presence of a trained therapist who can guide you through the process and help you tap your hidden potential. Some of the other techniques include past life regression, pendulum dowsing and healing with crystals. Of these, the easiest method is meditation as this can be performed on your own and only a little guidance is required for performing it.

Mind Training Advantages for Astral Projection

Improving concentration and focusing is the best way to train your mind. Improving your focus and the control over your mind will also help you get your astral body back to your physical body in case you want to escape an unpleasant situation in your astral travel. People who have spontaneous astral projections are more prone to having unpleasant experiences in their journey. However, if you have greater mental control, you will be able to get the most out of your astral projection experiences.

Allowing your mental faculties to remain focused and sharp can also help you control how your astral projections may occur, where they occur and where you travel to. The more focused you are, the more memories of your astral projections you are likely to retain. Since your outer body experience can have a huge bearing on your physical body and your day to day life, it is best to be able to control how it pans out. Being more controlled in your out of body experiences will also help you be more controlled in your real life.

Since these symptoms can vary, it is important to record them if you feel even slightly odd any given day. Recording them can help you keep a track of how many times you have experienced astral projections. This will also help you prepare yourself for any further projections.

Non Physical Symptoms of Astral Projection

The first thing that you should take note of is any odd non physical symptoms such as loud humming or buzzing sounds. These are usually the gentlest of symptoms. Unfortunately, these symptoms may also be associated with physical and emotional disorders. In such a case, you may get confused and misled. You may look for some of the other symptoms that you may experience. These include strange voices in your head. Some of these voices may be downright scary and may tell you not to proceed and attempt astral projections.

Some people also experience strange internal vibrations. These are a little difficult to explain but if you experience them, you will know that you are experiencing them. You will also experience lightheadedness and a sense of all pervading calm. You may not even experience any stress or anxiety for several days after you have had an astral projection. This all-pervading sense of peace and calm is almost always inexplicable. Though you will experience the peace and calm spreading inside you, you may not have done anything special to trigger it off. This is one of the most therapeutic effects of having an astral projection.

Another symptom that many people experience is seeing a long tunnel and a bright light at the end of it. Some people also experience this light in a different manner. They may feel the light inside of them, spreading inside their own body.

Physical Symptoms of an Astral Projection

You may also have a racing heart and a warm feeling on the heart chakra. You may also experience intense vibrations around your heart in the central part of your chest. Some people experience very slight vibrations which are not always observable. As you have longer projections, these vibrations tend to get stronger, so you may not experience the vibrations in the first few projections, but as the projections grow stronger so will your vibrations.

Sleep paralysis is a slightly advanced sign of having an outer body experience. Unlike some of the other symptoms that you experience after having had a projection, these symptoms occur before you perform astral travel. This is a condition where you feel completely relaxed and are sleeping, but are still aware of all that is occurring around you. This usually occurs before you enter into the vibrational state.
