OOBE the Out Of Body Experience....

For those, that are not familiar with the term, Out of body experiences refers to experience in which a persons conscious is said to leave their physical body enabling the person to observe reality from a point of view other then of the physical body & their normal physical senses.
These experiences are not very uncommon. It is speculated that about one person out of ten will at least have one Oobe during their life.
Even that it is most likely to Oobe during a state of resting; drifting off to sleep or deep relaxation this is not always the case. In all reality they can occur during almost any kind of activity or state of mind.
Most Oobe’s will be experienced spontaneously & without any former practice.
But other people will consciously induce this state with great success.
People that have mastered this skill often times will state that their Oobe experiences helped them to widen their conscious to either develop or to improve the skills of Telepathy, Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Precognition and Psycho and Telekinesis and more.
There are many different techniques that one can try to work with. I will introduce you to three of them that are rather easy to start out with:
Before you start to consciously induce an Oobe, put on some comfortable clothing, find a place that you feel save & secure in and make sure that you will not be disturbed.
For more comfort you could burn some incense and play some relaxing music.
Before you get started with the visualizations concentrate on your breathing and try to let all your thoughts pass by. Slowly try to let them go, clear your mind; you can always get back to them at a later point. When you feel relaxed you might want to protect yourself.
To protect myself I again use visualization.
For my own protection I visualize a fire circle surrounding myself.
If I feel threatened I let it grow to become a dome, which then completely shields me off.
Just use your imagination and what feels right to you.
Little blue stars raining down on you; imagining yourself in a see through bubble; a bright light shining down on you…these are just a few examples.
If you believe in a higher power pray & ask for protection; use a protection spell or ask your guides to stand by your side.
The most important I believe is to trust in yourself & in what you do to protect yourself.
When you feel very relaxed, in your mind try to visualize a black dice about 2 inches in height & width.
Try to hold this image.
Now imagine a gray cloud about 4 inches to the left side of the dice that is a little bigger then your dice.
You now see the black dice & the gray cloud next to each other about 4 inches apart.
Try to hold this image.
Then visualize a bright ray of light coming out of the left side of the dice, slowly moving towards the cloud.
When the light gets to the cloud it will brighten it up. Bit by bit with each ray of light you send to the cloud it gets brighter & brighter. And fills up with the light….
Another technique that I like using, is to visualize myself lying in the grass of a beautiful flower covered field. I there will watch the clouds pass by, listen to the running water of a little stream, the birds sing etc.
After I feel very relaxed I will slowly get up & I walk towards an imaginary door that is standing in the middle of that field.
I will open this door with a little key, walk through it and close it behind me. I then see a bright tunnel. I start to walk slowly & then faster & faster with each step until I’m running so fast, that I loose the ground under my feet & start flying towards the bright light at the end of that tunnel…..
Another easy one is to again lie on your back in a comfortable position to imagine that you are floating up off the bed. Hold that position, slightly lifted, for some time until you lose all sensation of touching the bed or floor. Once this state is achieved move slowly into an upright position and begin to travel away from your body and around the room.
Of course, what works for one of us does not necessarily work for all. You might just have to try out different techniques until you find the one that you are most comfortable with. These were just a few examples.
When I am about to leave my physical body I do hear the buzzing sound that most people have reported, that gets really intense & it feels like my “body” starts spinning & I then get thrown out/projected out eventually.
But I learned that if you pay too much attention to these sensations (like “Yay, I’m almost out now” etc.), you would loose your concentration.
So really try to stay as relaxed as you possibly can.
I do understand that it is frustrating to try & try but keep in mind, if you put yourself under to much pressure, you will have a much harder time reaching your goal.
What helped me much as well was the “power of suggestion”. Each day I told myself “I can Oobe” and/or “When I am asleep/drifting off to sleep and I am about to Oobe, I will become aware of it” etc.
Also I would imagine what I would all do while traveling. Imagined all the places and people I would like to visit. Or how I would be floating over top of my physical body looking down at myself etc.
Other helpful visualizations are to imaging yourself, the next time you sit down on a chair, that instead of firmly sitting on the seat you are sliding/falling right through it or that your hand would go right through the door instead of turning the doorknob, next time you want to open a door. Little things like that. There are no boundaries set to your own imagination.
Another factor, which might stop one from successfully inducing this state of conscious, is fear. For example the fear to see spirits/souls; the fear of heights/flying; fear not to be able to find your physical body upon return; the fear that another entity might take over your physical body while traveling etc. To rid myself of any subconscious blockages that might keep me from Oobeing, I sat down to write down all that I thought I might fear traveling and I then tried to read up on these common fears as much as I could to feel safe/r. If you ever do travel while you are fully aware, you will realize that an Oobe extends far beyond the limits of our physical senses and our intellect. After an out-of-body experience, many people report an inner awakening of their spiritual identity, a transformation of their self-concept. They see themselves as more than matter - more aware and alive.
