Out of Body – Is It Really Possible?
Have you ever seen yourself float out of your own body during sleep and then suddenly woke up? You may have thought it to be a strange dream but it might well have been the beginning of an out of body experience and you could be termed as being extremely lucky to have felt the sensation momentarily which thousands of people try to induce on themselves. This out of body experience in essence, involves you leaving your physical body like in ‘autoscopy’ and traveling to different astral realms as in ‘astral projections’.
Out of body experiences occur in various stages of withdrawal, comatose, separation, flexibility and return phases. In the first step of withdrawal, the body stops responding to inputs from the sense organs. It is a state which is similar to that of sleeping when your body does not interact with the external environment and the attention of your mind is focused elsewhere.
The second comatose stage of any out of body experience involves total paralysis. That is, no kind of movement of body takes place and all body muscles turn rigid. However, other extra sensory perceptions take place and you might experience shivering and tingling sensations primarily and then intense vibrations, loud noises or even sight through closed eyes.
The third stage of separation is perhaps the most important and crucial phase of an out of body experience where your perceptual existence separates and travels forth from your physical body. Still accompanied by strong sensations, it is the stage where people fail, the physical pull and emotional fears not letting the separation to take place. Remember that in case you are inducing an OBE, even the smallest of fear or anxiety regarding whether you can come back or not will result in your body pulling you back. Complete relaxation and letting your spirit loose can only achieve successful separation.
After your aura, spirit, soul or perceptual existence whatever term you wish to call it, has separated from your physical body, you will still feel a strong pull back which will ultimately cease beyond a certain distance allowing free movement without any restriction. Thus, progression has taken place out of body, where you can view your body from outside while you travel to other astral planes and realms. Your spirit is free and your mind focused and in control.
The final stage of the out of body experience involves you coming back to your physical body. Either you will feel the perceptions to slowly fade away with you waking up from a dream like trance or it may also happen that sudden fear of going too far away from the body results in sudden ‘sucking back’ of your free self into the body once again.
Out of body experiences or OBEs as commonly known, are usually seen to occur in relation to sleep. When a person passes into the realm of dreams with full consciousness and complete awareness of oneself, the phenomenon is known as lucid dreaming. This kind of phenomenon is highly conducive for an out of body experience where the body sleeps and the mind is focused enough to take the conscious to higher planes. Moreover, near death experiences like that of a road accident or drowning also facilitates out of body sensations.
If you want to induce out of body experience then the two best techniques would either be mental or technological. The first instance includes meditation in increasing one’s self awareness, control over conscious and development of the power to channel one’s energy and control the mind in order to achieve whatever desired. Going to the technological perspective, the use of binaural beats have become quite popular in recent times. This consists of hearing two different sound vibrations in each ear which synchronizes in the brain to create a mental condition that is conducive to an out of body experience. It can be concluded that whatever the technique is, out of body sensation induction is difficult and requires heightened suggestibility of mind. However, once gone through with it, it is something that is unexplainable and an experience of a lifetime.
