An out of body experience or OBE, is when someone has the sensation of floating outside his or her body. This scientifically proven experience normally takes place when a person is very near-death.

The idea of perceiving your physical body from a sphere outside your body is called an astral projecion as well as an out of body experience. This is an experience not to be scoffed at, because a large number of people who were supposedly at death's door, came back with memories of watching their physical body lying in a room. They could also describe the activities going on in the room during that period.

People began to refer to this experience as an out of body experience or OBE in 1943, instead using the term "projection." This transition in names occurred in response to the perception that "projection" was more of a belief-centered term. In the past, however, OBEs were referred to as "spirit walking." Scientific research into this type of experience is ongoing, because it cannot be considered imaginary.

About one person out of every 10 may have encountered such an experience sometime or the other in his life. The statistics for people who have experienced OBE are extremely large, so one cannot look at this experience with skepticism.

Sometimes, some people undergo an out of body experience spontaneously. On other occasions, this might be brought on due to mental and physical trauma, the use of psychedelic drugs or even when a body has slipped into a state of trance or coma.

Many websites make promises about experiencing the joys of astral projection and astral travel. It's actually not difficult to do if you understand the right way to go about it. Supposedly an out of body experience is a natural process, and we know the ancients used them frequently. Sadly, many modern descendants of these adept ancients have forgotten the art. Astral projection does not, however, require a great deal of mental or spiritual power.

However, you should have the power to concentrate on one point -- your conscious mind is holding you back, because it has the fear that once you project yourself out of your body, you would not able to come back. This is the subconscious fear which prevents astral travel and astral projection.

It is believed that a person's astral self can be projected out from the physical, corporeal body for a short time. If you believe this is possible, you are already on your way to successfully attaining an out of body experience. You have auto-suggested yourself into permitting your conscious mind to let go of its fear. However, if you are even just the slightest bit afraid that you'll end up in limbo because your astral body will be unable to return to your physical body, you're better off not trying to experience astral projection.

If you know you believe in this phenomenon, silence your fears. You'll need to use meditation and self-hypnosis to have a successful OBE. Begin having positive thoughts and tell yourself you want to experience astral projection. As your mind takes over, you will find yourself accepting the possibility of successful astral travel.

Lie down in a place where you are not going to be disturbed. Lay your arms to your sides. Let your aura harmonize itself with that of Mother Nature. Breathing deeply, start focusing on relaxing your physical body in such a way that it lets your astral body go forth to explore the dimensions outside your physical and mental knowledge and ken. You are going to feel your body start to tingle; encourage this sensation. If conscious thoughts keep popping up in your mind, brush them away and keep concentrating on breathing deeply and gently.

Normally, an out of body experience is heralded by vibrations and a rapid pulse. Allow those vibrations to sweep over you. Avoid becoming excited; instead, you should remain calm and let the vibrations control you entirely, your body and soul. You will soon be leaving your physical body behind and embarking on an astral journey into another realm or dimension.

Many who have had an out of body experience say that their OBE ended because they were afraid of leaving their physical body too far behind. These people say their experience was clearly not a dream. According to them, their astral bodies were actually in some different sphere, and these people experienced things in that sphere while their astral bodies were there. If you'd like to experience the excitement of astral travel and you firmly believe you can do it, you can.
