has anyone here self induced an OOBE( out of body experience) either with drugs or something else?

Has anyone had any experience with leaving their body?

thoughts appreciated

and these.... [link to www.youtube.com] It helps to learn as much about it as possible and start practicing a technique that seems to fit for you.

yes. hundreds of times, but I was born with the 'ability'.

i no longer do it. THere is nothing to be gained from the experience unless you're just trying to prove to yourself that you are more than a body.

there are 'rules' believe it or not when travelling ob.

exploration, is fine...etc. but if you try to use it to make money...you will be fighting a losing battle.

if you want to do it.

read JOURNEYS OUT OF THE BODY BY ROBERT MONROE.

he was the absolute real deal and pioneer in obe.
His approach was honest and straightforward...and his results were shocking.

Don't waste your time with all of the books by new age fuzzy purple people.

I have several books on Astral Projection but the one that has the easiest and most effective formula for doing it is The Practical Guide to Astral Projection by Denning and Phillips. If you look on amazon, you can get a used copy dirt cheap. And the reviews are pretty amusing, you can read about all the 'tards who couldn't do it and are pissed off so they gave it one star. I gave this book to a friend of mine who was able to do the technique and get out of his body, too.

I've used their Formula One technique many times. It involves visualizing the chakras being lit up, one by one, by a light coming down from above. You spend a few minutes on each one, and then visualize some energy flows. It really works. What happens with me is that I'll do the exercise right before I go to bed. They have you doing it standing up, which I did in the beginning, but now I only do it lying down. Then I make the suggestion to myself that I will get out during my sleep. Then I go to sleep. What usually happens is that I'll be in the middle of a dream and realize I'm dreaming, that I'm "out" and then I start making myself fly or move around. That's about all you can do, because as soon as you start thinking too hard, you wake up. So I learned to just start flying and try not to think about anything. It gets easier each time.

You shouldn't mess around in the astral worlds, though. It's one thing to do it to prove to yourself that it can be done, and the flying is fun. But astral entities aren't necessarily any smarter or any nicer than the odd person on the street. You could mess up your energy being around the wrong ones. It's complicated, just read up on it.

Also, going through doors and walls is fun, you just go up to one and "wish" yourself through it. It feels like walking through a wall of water, really cool. Even if you don't fly, just keep moving and try not to think too hard about what to do or you'll wake up. At least get good at getting out before you start trying to think. Flying can also be tricky because if you get really high, you may be afraid you'll fall and if you think that hard enough, you will start to fall and that will wake you up as soon as you hit. Try to stay in your dreaming mind and not use your rational, conscious mind or it's almost impossible to stay asleep.

you need to look up Roburt Monroe products. He put out a CD
Set that used sound waves to induce OBEs I tried them and they
worked. The sound waves put your body to sleep and keep
Your mind awake. It works well.

my friend jay is an expert in this field of endeavor and has even written a horror novel called "OOBERS" about this subject that can be found at amazon
