Out of Body Experiences
Out of Body Experiences, are common occurrences in our lives.....although' we don't always recognise them as such. When we dream, we often 'leave our bodies' and travel the astral highways, and what may often be remembered as a very clear dream of a specific place, can in fact be because we have actually visited the place in our 'dream-time'.
The most commonly remembered experiences of this are by people in hospital, often undergoing an operation, who clearly remember floating on the ceiling and surveying their body, and watching it being worked on by surgeons and nurses. This is more usually called a 'near death experience' but in fact it is the same thing, except that at this point the subject may have the ability to decide whether or not they return to the body......or leave for the afterlife.
During normal OBE's at some level we take the decision to 'go travelling' and as in dream-time we know that when we have had enough, we can return without harm to the body, we simply 'think back' and we are back in an eye-blink! To consciously leave the body takes a little effort to begin with, and I personally have found that the simplest way is to gradually loosen your hold on the body, beginning with the feet and legs, until you can reach a stage where the Astral body is hovering just slightly above, or to the side of the physical. then you are away! You can aim for a particular place to visit with practice.....but more usually I find that I pop in and out of various places and situations in a random fashion. this is usually fun! (but not always!) a word of caution here! there are, as with may things in the 'psychic' world, no guarantees! I well remember appearing in an underground chamber, and for a long enough moment panicking! (I hate underground chambers...or even tunnels!) before I gathered my wits about me enough to 'think back' it was many weeks before I tried the experiment again!
When we astral travel, we are bound to our physical bodies by a thin silky silver cord, it is only when our Spirit takes the decision to leave the body (at the end of life) that we sever this cord, other than this, it is our safety line! a way back home. As the metal silver is associated with Astral travel, it is wise I find to be either wearing something silver....or holding something silver when journeying. It eases the passage in and out of the body.
There are many good books available on Astral travelling, I suggest that before you try for yourself, you read up on the subject, and thoroughly acquaint yourself with as much knowledge as you can on the subject.
