(I love synchronicity! Prompted by my guides, I wrote this article Monday morning. I had a brief appointment in town Monday afternoon – and a friend there brought up this very same topic!)
There has been a growing popularity in the area of OBE’s, and people wanting to learn to accomplish this consciously.
OBE (out-of-body experience) is the act of leaving your physical body. We each do this every night while our physical body re-energizes, though many people do not remember leaving their body.
Some of the pre-exit and pre-entry ‘symptoms’ can be: sleep paralysis, hearing loud bang or knock; hearing your name being called; loud freight train or whooshing sounds, etc.
For me, one of my ‘symptoms’ is: often my feet, by their own accord, pop up from the bed and slam back down, and this is usually accompanied by a full body jerk. Yes, a bit dramatic.
I would like to address the sleep paralysis. This is usually the feeling of your body being paralyzed which may be followed by panic/fear.
Barring any medical conditions, this is a perfectly natural function.
Most people have sleep paralysis to protect their bodies while in dream mode. Sleep paralysis keeps the body from literally acting out one’s dreams.
Metaphysically, sleep paralysis is… you are out of your body. Should you awaken (become conscious) and find yourself in sleep paralysis, it means you haven’t come all the way back into your body. That simple.
There are many books out on OBE’s. I recommend William Buhlman’s “Adventures Beyond the Body: How To Experience Out-of-Body Travel” (see book review link at bottom of article).
It does take practice and lots of patience to learn to do this consciously; the more desperate or frustrated you become, the more you block yourself.
Also, if fear/worry – however slight – enters your thoughts, you ground yourself (again, blocking yourself).
You can visit ANY where, ANY time, or (my favorite) go out and fly around the local area.
Please remember that we are energy beings having a physical experience – but our non-physical selves are not limited by the physical.
