Out Of Body – Is It Really Possible?
‘Out of Body’ is a term that is denoted to specific experiences of man which involves a feeling of traveling or floating outside one’s own body. Commonly known as OBE, short for out of body experiences, the concept is synonymous to ‘autoscopy’, which refers to watching one’s own body and the world from a separate location and ‘astral projection’, referring to leaving one’s body and traveling to another astral plane.
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 cataleptic phase involves total paralysis of the physical body with absolutely no muscle movement at all. Though the limbs lie limp along with the body without any external sense perceptions, a lot of extra sensory perception takes place like that of hearing loud noises, ability to see through closed eyelids, tingling sensations or even severe vibrations.
After the body has withdrawn from interacting with the external environment and in the state of sensing various extra sensory perceptions, the crucial time for the actual detachment comes. This is the phase where the actual out of body experience occurs with one’s spirit or the perceptual being leaving the physical body and traveling forward. One feels a floating sensation and the spirit floats out observing the world from outside. It is the most difficult phase of any out of body experience since even the slightest of apprehensions in the mind about not being able to return back into the body acts as an obstruction and does not let one travel forward.
During and after leaving the body, the strong pull from the body hinders to a certain extent at first but after one moves forward a bit of distance, all obstructions cease and the spirit enjoys full freedom to move to anyplace it wants. It observes the physical body and the world from a distance and travels to different planes and different ethereal realms of the world.
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 are rare and extremely difficult to induce. But in talking about conducive conditions facilitating such experience, mention may be made of near death experiences and sleep. In the first case, many recorded incidents show that people who have been victims of drowning, motor accidents and the like have felt themselves going out of their body for a brief period of time. Some have even seen the accident to happen from outside. Apart from this, out of body experiences almost all the time is linked with sleep. Either it happens before, after or during sleep as in the case of lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is when only the body sleeps but the mind is conscious, focused and in control of the dreams. It may be at this time that the person leaves the body and traverses to other astral planes.
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.
