into the beyond
From 11th November 2012
I haven’t had a conscious OBE for a while, I haven’t been trying, it has been a period when I really needed to focus my attention in the physical and just let my night time activities ‘run wild’ without my interference. I think just ‘allowing’ can also help us, I believe important work goes on all the time whether we are conscious of it or not.
Introduction
I am not a monk tucked away in some quiet corner of the world where no one will disturb me, I am not someone who meditates every day, though I probably should. I usually manage to go to bed early and listen to some binaural beats, sometimes I even make it through to the end without falling asleep.

This morning I had an interesting experience which has kind of ‘bled over’ into the physical. Before I continue I should say I don’t practise any religion. I left my body, in my obes lately I have been working a lot on developing control of my mind and my intention in this experience was no different. My intention before going to sleep had been to exit my body but stay in my room and practice controling my mind.
One of my greatest pleasures in life is writing up an OBE in the morning, this morning, however, I don’t remember any. I do think it is important not to feel frustrated if we try but don’t manage to have an out-of-body experience. Getting frustrated can have a negative effect.
I seem to be on an ‘OBE roll’ this week. I suspect it has something to do with being relaxed and not having to get up early. We still have another week and a half left of the summer hols. Once the schools start and my rhythm has to change so may the OBE frequency.
In the early hours of this morning I was trying a variation of an astral projection technique. The basic technique is keeping the mind awake while the body falls asleep. If you manage it, it is a lovely sensation, but it is not always easy.
This is an interesting little out-of-body experience I had one morning. It was the early hours and suddenly I felt myself thrown out of my body very quickly to the other end of the bed.
This morning I had to smile a little when I woke up as my daughter actually helped me wake up inside my sleeping body. I was lying in bed and my daughter popped her head round the door and said, ‘I’ve woken up because there was some light coming into the room.’ I replied ‘Oh it doesn’t matter I’ll get up.’ I got up and thought I was really awake, then I thought that my daughter wouldn’t wake me up to tell me that. Normally, she’d probably turn over and go back to sleep as it was still a little early.
Fear is often a difficult hurdle to get over in the astral. The fear of the unknown. I always remember one of my early experiences.
My first conscious out-of-body experience (OBE) was very simple but I’ll always remember it for the joy it gave me. I use the term ‘conscious’ as we all leave our bodies at night, though we are not always aware of it. I had been studying my dreams for a while, I wanted to learn how to lucid dream at will and was practising techniques to achieve my goal. My desire at this time was to expand my inner knowledge, to contact the part of me that is not physical, a higher source. My OBE was spontaneous. One night I woke up inside my sleeping body, I felt slight vibrations which I would describe as fizzy. It was a marvellous sensation. I could see a little light coming through the blinds.
