Out of Body Experience or OBE in short is an experience in which one’s subtle within, his inner self, soul, or in other words his perceptual existence separates from his physical body and travels out to other conscious realms. Simply put, it is the phenomenon in which you keep your physical body behind and move out of it towards higher ethereal realms observing yourself and the world at a distance.
Any out of body experience happens gradually through five distinct phases. These phases are that of the Withdrawal, cataleptic, separation, flexibility and return respectively. It is through these five stages that your astral self within will move out from your physical body, travel astrally and then ultimately return back into the same, leaving you with an experience of a lifetime, a journey like no other.
The withdrawal phase generally is when the body reaches a state where no instigation happens to reach the sensory organs. The body turns stiff and does not respond to any external catalytic effect. The physical body detaches itself from the external world.
The second cataleptic stage is when your body turns comatose. All your muscles turn rigid and a temporary paralysis sets in with your body not moving even a slightest inch now. But, though all sense organs have withdrawn, extra sensory perceptions open up in this phase and you feel sensations like tingling, shivering, later on intense vibrations, bright light and even sight through closed eye lids.
The most important and also the most difficult stage is that of the third stage of separation when your soul actually separates itself from your physical body in an effort to move forward. Experiencing a strong pull back from your physical body, even the slightest of doubts regarding whether you will be able to travel forth or even the slightest fear about whether you will be able to return back to your body will never let you go in the first place and instantaneously pull you back even if you had managed a short distance. Complete relaxation, letting go of your spirit is the only solution here.
In the later stages wherein the soul has already moved out of the body the forces that try to bring back the soul into the body starts losing power and ultimately becomes non-existent. The mind along with soul then becomes to move about and visualize the world with the eyes of the inner self. The out of body experience thus enlightens the individual to higher levels of awareness and he can perceive the whole world with a different viewpoint.
The last stage of this miraculous journey is the return to ones own body. But it might happen that an individual’s soul may suddenly pull back into his or her body if he retains some amount of anxiety regarding the pros and cons of the out of body experience. However without such fears the return tends to be smooth and after the soul comes back to where it belongs he or she awakes form a dazed sort of a feeling and the person feels as if everything he experiences was a dream.
An out of body experience can be induced via any of the three avenues of Mental, Mechanical or Chemical. While the mental path towards experiencing an OBE is through advanced meditation and increased control over one’s subconscious mind, the mechanical and chemical methods of doing the same is by using technology such as sound waves, electro magnetic or electrical simulations of the brain in case of the former or using hallucinogen drugs for inducing the hallucination like trance state of mind in case of the latter.
