lancesergeant, do you still practice this? I've heard all kinds of opinions about whether or not this is safe. I certainly believe it is possible to at least some extent. Back in the eighties I was injured and subsequently developed chronic migraine headaches. I watched a program on PBS about how to control your "chi." So, I started practicing. I came home from work one evening with a monster migraine. I was in such pain that all I could think about was getting out of my body. Long story short, my awareness of myself was about a foot above my head. I could see the top of my head, I could see everything in the bedroom. I guess that is out of body experience. Oh, I managed to escape the pain for a little while. But, being fearful of some kind of "attack" I didn't prolong the experience. Someone told me that if my spirit was out of my body, then my body was "open" to unwanted "visitors."

I have had time slips and traveled out of the body. The time slip was in 1970 as well as the OOBE. I was amazed to actually feel the elements in my flight to the place I visited before actually going there. The time slip had me totally shocked and disoriented as I got up and got ready for a test in the morning and heard my alarm and woke up in bed. It was not a dream. Freaked me out and I felt out of sinc for hours afterwards.

I have had other travels into outer space until I read how dangerous that is and it stopped me. I had a memorable experience where I was falling in space for a long time and pretty fast. I noticed soft yellow orbs all around me but seemingly quite far away with a lot of blackness to infinity. It was fascinating at first until I thought I wasn't slowing or stopping and a voice said "You must stop or you will keep going." I did and felt the immensity of wherever I was like Infinity itself. I suddenly felt so alone but remembered the voice and I believe I asked what I was to do. Then I found myself at home in my bed feeling like I had been on quite a journey. It seemed like "inner space" and not like we think of "outer space." I haven't heard of another experience like mine yet. Again, it was not a dream.

Hope this gives you another view of astral travel. What are your experiences? If you share, then others will be happy to share with you.
