www.dailygrail.com/Guest-Articles/2011/7/How-Have-OBEHow to Have an OBEPosted by Greg, 27 Jul 2011 The following is a modified excerpt from Paul and Charla Devereux's book Lucid Dreaming: Accessing Your Inner Virtual Realities (Daily Grail Publishing, 2011). Available from Amazon US or Amazon UK and other online bookstores. The techniques used for inducing out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are essentially similar to lucid dream inductions, but with a different emphasis. The power of place (spatial programming) takes on special importance, Lucid Dreaming Book Coverand ways of developing a dual awareness can be helpful. Most OBE practitioners agree that when inducing the experience, physical relaxation is most important. A state of relaxed alertness is the ideal to be sought. There seems to be no special dietary advice for OBE induction, though pioneering 'astral projector' Sylvan Muldoon recommended fasting and a reduction in the taking of liquids on days when induction is being attempted. On the other hand, dream researcher Patricia Garfield found that she had her strongest (and most frightening) OBE when she had been “inordinately stuffed with food”! As far as posture is concerned, there are likewise no universal rules. Muldoon felt that sleeping on one’s back was best, and failing that, the right side. Garfield felt that lying on one’s back or left side best facilitated OBEs. Robert Monroe, one of the most prominent OBE proponents of the last half century, said that the aspiring OBE practitioner should lie with his or her head towards the north, but Garfield argued that it made no difference what direction one slept in. Perhaps the only golden rule is to simply experiment! You have to find what works for you. Select from the following methods, which have been laid out in an order with developmental exercises first, then actual induction techniques following. Put these in the context of the skills and approaches you have learned from your dream and lucid dream work where appropriate, so you can devise your own elaborations around the core concepts offered here, if you so wish. These exercises and techniques derive from traditional methods as well as suggestions from workers in OBE and lucid dream research. We have also presented some new ones, based on sound principles. Remember that many of the techniques described as being for use at sleep onset can also be used equally well (and often even better) on re-entering sleep after waking up in the morning. As with the lucid dream methods in Chapter 4 of Lucid Dreaming, some of the techniques described here will work well together, others will not and are alternatives. Pick and choose as you wish, remembering that all such exercises often require the investment of time and effort to bring results.

Yikes! I wouldn't want to induce a lucid dream because I always have lucid nightmares.

Lots of people claim OBE's and astral travel.. I think some may just be vivid dreams brought on by strong desire..but I think others really can do this if they have prepared enough, meditated enough. It's like tapping into certain energies..I think we all possess the abilities..our brains are suited for it...IF...we desire it and work for it. There are books at the library on it, and many sources on the internet..above all...take the time to take precaution. Just ask your guides or angels to protect your travels. What can it possibly hurt?

I had heart surgery 6 years ago, people asked me if I had a OBE, they even had stopped my heart, and restarted it. Nothing. I just remember they said they were giving me something to relax me, next thing I knew I was waking up in the recovery room. The latest anesthetics you do not feel yourself going under. I would worry if I had a OBE I would not be able to come back, and if I did not come back...that could mean only one thing....of course if I consciously can think all that during a OBE, what does that mean then? Know very little about OBE---unless you mean OBE (Order of the British Empire). Tell me more. Steve

Ive never had a out of body experience in my life. Except when the ships came and my mind felt like it was in two places at once. It does not count as I was totally awake, when this would happen.. In fact my missing times occurred right after I felt like I was in two places at once. I'm referring to my mind not my body..My life has been full of the unknown. I don't think I need to have the OBE experience. Or rather I don't care to have one..

www.ufodigest.com/article/out-body-experience-%E2%80%93-what-happens-when-you-leave-your-body Out of Body Experience – What Happens When You Leave Your Body?[/color] Submitted by Steve G. Jones on Tue, 11/15/2011 An Out of Body Experience (OBE) is a deeply personal experience that can have profound effects. With the ability to change one’s outlook, deepen spirituality, and provide access to answers to life’s deepest questions, OBEs are a popular way to achieve enlightenment. There are several types of OBE and many ways in which to experience one. Depending on your goals and your willingness to practice, you can experience a variety of OBEs. Astral projection is one of the many types of OBE and is the one you are most likely to seek out on your own. Types of Out of Body Experience * Involuntary — This type of OBE occurs quite by accident, and can happen with or without consciousness. They can be in the form of vivid dreams, after which you wake up tired. If there is consciousness of this type of OBE, you may wake up in the middle of a dream. * Voluntary — During this type of OBE, you will choose to have the experience. This can be done with or without consciousness. This type of OBE can be remote viewing, lucid dreams, or astral projection. Remote viewing is likely to be done without consciousness and astral projection is likely to be done with consciousness. What Part of You Leaves During Astral Projection?When you choose to have an OBE, you are allowing your astral body to travel the astral plane. During this experience, your physical body will remain stagnant while the astral body or subtle body leaves. Depending on your goals in seeking out an OBE, you will be able to travel to any time or place during the experience. Projection allows you to use the subconscious mind to seek out answers or enlightenment, while always being connected to your physical self. With practice, you will learn to control the movements and experiences of the astral body throughout the experience of astral projection. The goal is to remain fully aware of the experience in order to retain the knowledge gained therein.

I've never had an OBE either, and I once stopped breathing during a surgery also. I lost too much blood during the operation. Didn't see any bright lights or tunnels or angels or aliens or operating rooms or anything...I just woke up in the recovery room like Steve said. I wouldn't have known anything had happened if the Docs hadn't said so. I suppose OBEs are possible though, just like I believe everything else is. Lots of people report having them.

www.disclose.tv/news/standford_scientists_observe_man_travel_outside_his_body__into_space/131455Standford Scientists observe Man 'Travel Outside his Body' & into Space by Lukas Magnuson www.disclose.tvMay 24, 2916 Standford Scientists observed a Man ‘Travel Outside his Body’ & into Space. He was able to accurately view and describe a ring around Jupiter, a ring that scientists had no idea even existed until the Pioneer 10 spacecraft flew past Jupiter. Have you ever heard about a concept called remote viewing? It is a concept that has been defined in multiple ways in recent years. Some might refer to it as the ability of some people to describe remote geographical locations located up to several hundreds of kilometers away from their original physical location. While the concept has been proven, the mainstream scientific community does not understand how its achieved. Several decades ago NASA’s Pioneer 10 spacecraft was launched into space, and for the first time, mankind was able to witness the very first manmade spacecraft fly directly through the asteroid belt and travel to the largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter. Interestingly, before this happened, the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, in conjunction with Stanford Universty were involved in a project referred to as ‘Remote Viewing’. (Source) (Source) This is where the story gets extremely interesting. According to researchers, one of the main participants of the never-before-seen research was a man called Ingo Swann, who was able to accurately view and describe a ring around Jupiter, a ring that scientists had no idea even existed. A fascinating thing about the this is that it took place right before the flyby of the Pioneer 10 Spacecraft, NASA’s mission which identified the rings around the Gas Giant. The discovery and results of the remote viewing on Jupiter were published by Stanford University in advance of the rings discovery. (Source) The Jupiter experiment was not to be an official one. It was wrapped up in very stringent protocols. But the remote viewing raw data had to be recorded somehow so that it could be established that it existed before the NASA vehicles getting to the planet. The raw data were circulated far and wide, offered to and accepted by many respected scientists in the Silicon Valley area, including two at Jet Propulsion Laboratories (Source) – Ingo Swann The intelligence services are heavy players; they required an active picture of Psi potentials somewhat larger than standard parapsychology could provide. Because of these unusual circumstances, I got dragged into realms of often idiotic secrecy, into endless security checks conducive of paranoia, into all kinds of science fiction DreamWorks, into intelligence intrigues whose various formats were sometimes like toilet drains, and into quite nervous military and political ramifications – Ingo Swann Having that said, we cannot help but remember a remarkable quote by the great Nikola Tesla who said: „The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in a decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.“ Harold Puthoff Ph.D. from Stanford University and chief scientists at Stanford Research Institute, part of the Stargate Program stated in an article published in the Journal Scientific Exploration: “To determine whether it was necessary to have a ‘beacon’ individual at the target site, Swann suggested carrying out an experiment to remote view the planet Jupiter before the upcoming NASA Pioneer 10 flyby. In that case, much to his chagrin (and ours) he found a ring around Jupiter and wondered if perhaps he had remote viewed Saturn by mistake. Our colleagues in astronomy were quite unimpressed as well until the flyby revealed that an unanticipated ring did in fact exist.” –Harold Puthoff, Ph.D., Stanford University He added: “Successful replication of this type of remote viewing in independent laboratories has yielded considerable scientific evidence for the reality of the [remote viewing] phenomenon. Adding to the strength of these results was the discovery that a growing number of individuals could be found to demonstrate high-quality remote viewing, often to their own surprise. The CIA even participated as remote viewers themselves in order to critique the protocols. CIA personnel generated successful target descriptions of sufficiently high quality to permit blind matching of descriptions to targets by independent judges.” – Harold Puthoff, Ph.D., Stanford University Taking a look at the Ingo Swann’s book Penetration, he describes the many phenomena that were not documented in the literature cited in the various studies published after the successful project of remote viewing. “It’s one thing to read about UFOs and stuff in the papers or in books. It is another to hear rumors about the military or government having an interest in such matters, rumors which say they have captured extraterrestrials and downed alien spacecraft. But it’s quite another matter to find oneself in a situation which confirms everything. I found towers, machinery, lights, buildings, humanoids busy at work on something I couldn’t figure out (on the back side of the moon).” The fact that this project was documented by several researchers and governmental agencies makes us wonder what else is out there? How many more similar researches are being conducted as we write this? And what about extraterrestrial life? It is remarkable to think about the human potential and extended capabilities, yet it is frustrating to think about the wealth of information that is being kept from society, classified and dismissed ( via ancient-code.com ). www.disclose.tv/news/standford_scientists_observe_man_travel_outside_his_body__into_space/131455

Rumor has it that anybody can learn how to remote view. And Ingo Swann proved that you dont have to have a beacon to set your goal, with this early "experiment" of seeing jupitor.
Whose to say that "remote viewing" is not the same as OBE, or astral travel?
Remote viewing is intentional. Astral travel is considered lucid dreaming (intentional). OBe seems to happen under great stress, or as a part of a NDE (subconsciously intentional?).
If I find an information source that accurately teaches me how to remote view, I'll let you all know.

We should try that on our experiment some time. Try to remotely view something and see if we are right.

www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318464.php Out-of-body experiences: Neuroscience or the paranormal?July 19, 2017 By Tim Newman / www.medicalnewstoday.com/authors/tim-newmanWhat can out-of-body experiences teach us about ourselves? As you lie in slumber, your spirit body snaps free and drifts upward while your physical shell is left lonely on the bed below, connected only by a fragile, silvery cord. You turn and observe yourself peacefully sleeping. Could this be evidence of the soul? Could it be proof of life after death? Reports of out-of-body experiences (OBEs) vary. Some consist of little more than a fleeting feeling that body and mind have come loose, while others recount tales of floating far from the person's physical body and traveling to otherworldly plains. Either way, OBEs have fascinated humanity for centuries, entering folklore, spiritual belief, and mythology. In the 19th century, for instance, OBEs became a popular topic of the romantic literary movement, and unsurprisingly, they were eagerly discussed by early psychical researchers. "I suddenly seemed to divide into two distinct beings. [...] One of these beings remained motionless on the sofa; the other could move some little distance, and could actually look at the motionless body on the sofa." Journal of Society for Psychical Research, July 1894 According to surveys, around 10 percent of the population have experienced an OBE at least once - so there must be more to it than a desire to live forever or an over-charged imagination. Although, historically, most research into OBEs has come from the unkempt fringes of science, it has attracted a little more serious attention over recent years. In this article, we will discuss some of these findings. When do OBEs occur?OBEs have been documented in a variety of situations. These can be split into two categories: spontaneous and induced. Spontaneous OBEs A variety of factors could trigger a spontaneous OBE. These include:Sleep: Spontaneous OBEs are most commonly reported as occurring just before falling asleep or just prior to waking. They are more likely to occur when sleep is not particularly deep - due to noise, stress, or illness, for example. Physical effort: OBEs have also been reported following or during extreme exertion. Near-death experiences (NDEs): OBEs sometimes occur alongside "light at the end of the tunnel" visions. Other spontaneous OBEs have been reported during meditation, non-life-threatening accidents, anesthesia, hypnosis, child birth, when suffocating, after being shot, while dancing or talking, or, as one 36-year-old police officer relates, during her first night at work. "When I and three other officers stopped the vehicle and started getting [to] the suspect [...] I was afraid. I promptly went out of my body and up into the air maybe 20 feet above the scene. I remained there, extremely calm, while I watched the entire procedure - including watching myself do exactly what I had been trained to do." Induced OBEsFrom a scientific standpoint, induced OBEs offer a more tantalizing glimpse into the physical basis of OBEs. They include: Drugs: Hallucinogenic drugs, and dissociative hallucinogenics in particular - such as DMT, MDA, LSD, and ketamine - can give rise to induced OBEs. Sensory deprivation or overload: Either too little sensory information (floatation tanks or listening to white noise) or too much (torture) can also trigger them. Strong G-forces: Pilots and astronauts occasionally experience OBEs. For instance, when extreme G-forces are encountered, blood can partially drain from certain parts of the brain. This, it seems, has the power to induce an OBE. In this instance, OBEs occur as part of a phenomenon called "gravity-induced loss of consciousness." The more surreal parts of this experience are not freely discussed by most pilots, but some give vivid accounts. "I was there. But I, like, wasn't there. I was floating. I was looking at myself from outside of myself." Col. Dan Fulgham It is not only extreme G-forces that can spark OBEs in pilots. Even during standard flights, pilots can endure odd sensory experiences, which are referred to collectively as spatial disorientation (SD). In one particular SD episode, known as the "break-off phenomenon," a pilot may feel as though they are sat on the wing, watching themselves fly the plane. SD is considered one of the most common factors contributing to aviation accidents. Fatigue, stress, drugs, low light levels, and sensory overload or deprivation are among the factors potentially involved. CONTINUE READING: www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318464.php

The event happened in the early 1990s while I was working as a security guard alone in a very large auto parts warehouse late at night. (the site has since been removed and replaced, and is now a location of condos and townhouses. the original building is gone.) It was my habit of taking a nap during my shift after having made my rounds. at the time, I was also being treated for a (still undiagnosed) heart condition. What I recount next is how I told the story to friends for years, since its from the point of view of which I experienced it. I have since come to believe that something slightly different happened - namely that I may have been abducted. (or 'retrieved', as I prefer to put it.) Anyway, I was asleep, when suddenly I felt an abrupt thump in my chest. I thought that my heart had stopped, and I had died. My immediate reaction was to attempt to leave my body, and I almost did. My spirit exited my dead (?) body, and I was slowly rising up away from it, into and thru the wooden ceiling above me. During the transition, I somehow got stranded in the matter of the wooden ceiling, and got stuck. Suddenly, three entities appeared to me, took me by the hand, and gently guided me back into my body, which had already grown cold. It felt very heavy, and very cumbersome to be pushed back inside it. The entities were very gentle with me, and seemed to be proud of me. Our communication was not verbal, or even mental, per se, but was more emotional. (I am extremely empathic and psychic.) After making sure I was back inside my own body, they departed, but there was no ship to speak of, just a gentle light. One other thing: the perception that lingered after their departure was that they were actually me as a man, a boy, and a child with cold hands (the entity who guided me back into my body had cold hands). Several years after the event, I changed my mind of what may have occurred. I now think that instead of dying, I was accidentally awakened during the aftermath of an abduction event (or I woke up by force, I have often awakened during surgical procedures and fought with doctors who had already anesthetized me). Previous to that occurrence, I had (and continue to have) similar types of events, basically all my life. - MUFON www.phantomsandmonsters.com/2017/10/weekend-2-cents-obe-alien-abductionor.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+PhantomsAndMonstersAPersonalJourney+%28Phantoms+and+Monsters%29

March 13th 2002 just 3 days after my birthday,Waking up in the hospital 2 days later and four operations on both my legs the fear and memories started flowing back into my brain of what happened and it really upset me and I told my wife everything I had seen and heard and she was amazed how I described everything I had saw and heard to a T while I was dead in the car,she repeated my story to my step mom and she understood why it could have happened My great grandfather and my pawpaw were in a bad wreck in the same spot 40 years prior but my great grandfather didnt make it and my pawpaw almost passed with his jugular vein sliced open,hearing this story that my grandfather passed in the same spot did not help matters none and I needed more assurance what had happened to me didnt make me sound insane,see what was confusing to me is if I had passed also and I was on the other side why didnt my mom or dad greet me instead of my great grandfather,see my parents both died when I was 5,my mom died first of cervical cancer and my dad was murdered 2 weeks later,once again I escaped death because the ones who killed him would have got me also if I was there and not spending the night with my aunt and uncle in Belmont,but to get back to the matter at hand being married to Leigh for 15 years she knew what I told her was a fantastic story but believed me and suggested we talk with a preacher and he could give me more answers so after about a month of being layed up in a hospital bed they delivered to my house Leigh put me into a wheelchair on Sunday morning and we went to unity Baptist church in east Belmont,we attended services and the preacher told the congregation my story and they all raised their hand and praised god that we survived the crash and our sons were not with us,later after the church services me and my wife spoke to the preacher in his office and I told him everything I experienced and he explained I had a OBE(out of body experience)and it was not my time thats why a family member I have never met came to help me because if one of my parents came I would not want to leave them again.
