Have you ever seen yourself float out of your own body during sleep and then suddenly woken up? You may have thought it to be a strange dream but it might well have been the beginning of an out of body experience and you could be termed as being extremely lucky to have felt the sensation momentarily which thousands of people try to induce on themselves. This out of body experience in essence, involves you leaving your physical body like in ‘autoscopy’ and traveling to different astral realms as in ‘astral projections’.

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After the body has withdrawn from interacting with the external environment and in the state of sensing various extra sensory perceptions, the crucial time for the actual detachment comes.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.

The fourth stage of freedom is where the real out of body experience is enjoyed. After the initial inertia and a tendency to get pulled back into the body, your astral body starts moving freely once a certain distance is covered. Watching your own body from a distance can be an eerie but out of the world experience and you travel to higher planes and realms.

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.

An out of body experience, most often than not, is seen to occur in relation to sleeping or a near death experience. Most of the time OBE takes place before, after or during sleep, especially while lucid dreaming when the body sleeps but the mind is wakeful, focused and in control of the dreams. This is an extremely rare phenomenon but is highly conducive to out of body experiences. Moreover, near death experiences like drowning or road accidents also results in an OBE with the individual being able to watch the accident as if from a distance.

The best technique to induce out of body experiences is that of meditation. It is singularly the most effective way of gaining control on one’s subconscious mind, improve on powerful visualizations, and channeling of one’s attention and energy. Apart from meditation, modern technological interventions like binaural beats may also come in handy in inducing out of body perceptions with its different sound vibrations. These different sound waves going through each ear fuses into each other in the brain for creating a mental state that facilitates out of body experiences. It can be concluded that such incidents are extremely rare and if one is fortunate enough to experience even one, it will be an experience of a life time.
