Jaydedgirl Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I want to try it but the techniques are kinda hard and will take alot of patience and motivation on my path. I have always wanted to have an out of body experience so that i know for myself there is a soul and i want to travel and see the stars..... Link to comment
FrogIsFree Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yes, I have - more than once. I was meditating over an object and came out of my body, moved to the side and watched myself. I don't know about seeing the stars.. and you really need to be disciplined and ready for the experience mentally, spiritually and emotionally, as it is tough to get your head round and to come to terms with the experience afterwards. With the above experience I freaked out that I couldn't get back in to my body then afterwards felt bereaved because there was a secret part of me that wanted to get off the earth plane and be somewhere where I could feel at home and not have to deal constantly with the experiences of people's judgement and non-acceptance of me as different, because I am sensitive, an independent thinker, don't conform to norms I don't believe in and have all these special gifts, and have this magnet quality that - whilst it has given me some positive experiences that I am grateful for - has afflicted me with some very negative experiences from a lot of men who have targeted me in a stalker fashion and wouldn't and still don't take no for an answer.

rocio Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I have but it wasn't deliberate. I think a lot of people get one "free pass" at some point in their lives, but actually making it happen through meditation may be difficult. Thought not impossible. Link to comment

Is it scary and how do u get back into your body? How long does it last for? Im really curious about this, i really want to experience it for myself. I want to know the felling and flying.. SOmetimes i noticed while asleep i get these like "shocks",it makes my body shake and ill wake up...what does that mean? Link to comment
lavenderdove Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 ^^ when sleeping, the portion of the brain that connects to body movement is disconnected so that you won't move around while you're sleeping (i.e., act out what you're dreaming). What you're experiencing is a 'hypnic jerk' (see definition below): link removed Link to comment
FrogIsFree Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Is it dangerous? Is it scary and how do u get back into your body? As long as your fascination with it is tempered by safeguarding techniques through meditation, it is possible to ask for it to happen rather than will it, but you must be careful to ask for protection and work with the highest forces spiritually.. this is not designed to frighten you but to make you aware that once you are out of your body you are more vulnerable. You will eventually get back in because your earth body is designed to hold your spirit in this lifetime.. in other words, you won't cross over until you are meant to. As for being scary.. it depends on you as a person. If you are highly sensitive, you may find it very frightening but each person's experience is different in terms of coming to terms with it before, during and after. Link to comment
brazilgirl21 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I have out of body experiences when I'm very anxious. People with anxiety/panic attacks experience it. It is the most terrifying feeling ever and I wouldn't wish it to anyone. It feels like you are watching the world through a glass window or that you are out of your body and watching what's going on around you. Everything seems unreal and like a dream. Except, it's not. SO SCARY. Link to comment

SO SCARY. I had something like this when I was in labor. I couldn't actually see myself but it was more of a psychological detachment to help me deal with the trauma. What the OP is talking about is different. You literally leave your body. OP: When it happened to me, I was terrified. I was on a sofa and there was a glass center table next to it. I started floating toward the center table and I was absolutely terrified that I was going to crash into it or break it. I completely panicked. I believe that even when you do this of your own will, there's usually a lot of fear to overcome. That's natural. Link to comment

Hey i have anxiety/panic attacks too.. but i dont get OBE's ..I know its scary for some but others feel free to fly where they want to ..some travel to space and back...it must be an amazing feeling but is it similar to a near death experience where you see a light?

DrKitten Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I never have, but my boyfriend has. However he doesn't recommend his method, which is taking Robitussin recreationally for the hallucinogenic effects of dextromethorphan (DXM). He overdosed and had an out of body experience. Link to comment

Depending on your existing spiritual gifts, you may or may not encounter spirits.. Mediums who already see spirits, for example, there will obviously be a greater chance of seeing spirits.

JLevin2011 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Thank you for your honesty about the fear. I had a full out of body experience last night, and had to convince myself rationally that my brain was capable of taking care of my sleeping body, while also feeling paralysis and suffocation. I was simply energy, electric and alive - overwhelming. I was terrified to leave my husband as I intentionally moved out of my body, eventually traveling to my son's room (who also had a nightmare at that time). I returned, but had to fight to re-enter my sleeping body, and for consciousness - though I did 'wake' immediately (you're not asleep, trust me). Panic, anxiety and remorse overwhelmed me throughout the next day...I felt so stupid for taking such a risk. Maybe it's 'safe,' but it seemed on the edge of death, truthfully. Link to comment
