Transcription: The Secrets of Out-of-Body Experiences: A Spiritual Channel Explains All

The truth about out-of-body experiences is that you don’t have to die to have one. Since the beginning of time, explorers continue to be driven by curiosity to discover new worlds. This same desire fuels the journey beyond the body. For nearly three decades, I’ve channelled as a spiritual teacher sharing hidden truths about the Universe. Yet, my first out-of-body experience was not something I sought or even understood—it arrived unexpectedly, and it changed everything -it changed my life.

This can be frustrating for those who seek to have their first out-of-body experience and it might stir an even greater fear for those who might think it could just randomly happen. I will help anyone wanting to experience an out-of-body experience (OBE), as well as offer reassurance for those who may have experienced an OBE unexpectedly.

Out-of-body experiences are exactly what you might think that they are. You find yourself consciously outside of your physical body. This may include “looking down” at your body or just flying or hovering around. While out-of-body, there is a sense of lightness and unity with everything, along with the simultaneous ability to see physical details of the room or surroundings—this is the normal.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in such concepts – as I didn’t when it happened to me. I was sleeping on the second story of our first house with the master bedroom window overlooking the backyard. One night, in my 20’s, I left my body and hovered parallel to my physical body still sleeping in bed, as I flew right out the closed window.

I recall feeling scared and upset because I didn’t believe in any such things. This event was simple and timeless. Nothing happened beyond me silently starting to float about three feet above my body and then slowly out the bedroom window, 45 feet above the back porch, and then return back to my body again.

The experience can be likened to learning how to swim. First, it’s like swimming in the small kiddie pool, as you get more comfortable then you jump into the “big pool,” eventually venturing into the deep end. Hovering, untethered outside my body two stories above the backyard felt like the deep end. It took my breath away. Honestly, the experience itself wasn’t at all scary—just unexpected.

My personal experience is matched by one billion people who who claim to have had at least one out-of-body experience. This estimate is about 12% of the world’s population. Certainly, people are talking about their out-of-body experiences making the topic less woo woo. Out-of-body experiences are extraordinary opportunities of discovery.

You can leave your body through sleep, dreams, meditation, accidents or through death. From an academic perspective, studies of out-of-body experiences share also have had a Near-Death-Experience or NDE. Some scientific investigations suggest that almost 80% of those who have a NDE experience also have a out-of-body experience.

This is why there is such a strong connection between the experience of dying or coming close to death and subsequently returning to life in a body. Studies are filled
with details of individuals seeing or hearing things in a room while they leave their bodies. No one wants to die trying something new but many life changing opportunities come at challenging the fear of dying.

This is why it’s important to understand that you don’t have to die to have an OBE. I didn’t die, I was just sleeping when I left my body. This raises the question of whether it is possible to experience an out-of-body experience (OBE) without facing actual death. The topics of out-of-body experiences, as well as NDE, confound; biologists, neuroscientists, medical doctors and psychologists. But it doesn’t confound honest spiritualists.

There’s little controversy about death; the heart stops as does breath. Biologically, death has occurred. The shell, or the body, stops living and so does the ego. The ego is that part of the human body that nobody can seem to locate physically. This extends in trying to find where conscious and the soul reside in the body.

The best guess is that ego, consciousness and the soul are associated with the body. But where? The most educated minds don’t have a clue. And I’ll tell you why, because this information isn’t available to the mind.

The human mind is impressive but very limited. For example, we can’t fully grasp concepts like eternal or unconditional. To cope, the mind uses shortcuts and relies on our senses, which are even more restricted—this creates challenges for true understanding.

In the physical world, there is great emphasis, if not even a conditioned prejudice, that if you can’t see it, hear it, or measure it — then the thing you’re trying to observe or categorize isn’t real. This is a conundrum as the body and the mind have clear boundaries to what it can sense or process. Any scientist would agree, but what is hard to grasp is how this condition, or prejudice, actually blocks stuff the mind can’t understand.

This to your brought to your attention so you can appreciate that an OBE can happen as a result of NDE and it goes beyond the mind, and the body that supports it. When the body dies, so does the brain and it’s ability to sense, record or remember anything.
A dead battery has no energy and cannot supply electricity for any use. A dead body, hosts a dead mind, and yet still things are being processed but where? Deductively, it can’t be physical because the body and the mind are dead. This is where the controversy surrounding OBE begins.

Yet, it’s all pretty simple.

The reason I’ve introduced NDE in conjunction with OBE is to create an understanding that being out-of-body is literally outside the body. The proof is shared by someone who is dying or dead, as they look down at their dead body -hearing or seeing things in the room that a dead body can’t process. And that’s just the physical things.

You don’t have to die to have an out-of-body experience, but this raises doubts about whether the experience is truly an OBE. In reality, a genuine OBE doesn’t need to be questioned. People who have OBEs aren’t just imagining it—they are going beyond the mind. This should reassure anyone who experiences an OBE unexpectedly.
Let’s focus on how to create an out-of-body experience.

When you go out-of-body there are patterns that create the definition of the practice.

You’ll feel sensations of complete and utter openness and oneness. These two parts go hand and hand. c You would do well, to allow me to repeat this, being open is the key to oneness to experience being outside of your body.

There are feelings of unity, peace and love in the purity of being at one. This esoteric state is exactly how you would describe your soul before it incarnated into a body. The subtile difference in being out-of-body, is you still have an association to the body. However, it’s a very loose association compared to the idea that this body is who you are.

There is consciousness without ego. The only egoic piece that you have is a slight connection that the body you’ve left is yours. You know it’s your body, but you’ll see it like everyone else in the world does —from a third person perspective. This creates the largest of opportunities.

Letting go of your sense of self can happen through many different gateways. You can experience going out-of-body by releasing the hold of your mind’s influence. This means letting go of your mind’s need to be in constant control. I would suggest tools like; meditating, dreaming, running, dancing, sound bowls, drum circles, breathing, stretching, acupuncture, salt floats and automatic writing. There are also other alternatives like; hypnotherapy, plant based medication, drugs and guided mediation that also might induce an OBE.

You may find preference with some of these considerations but not all. I honor any gateway as a portal for going out-of-body but being on a drug, or being hypnotized, isn’t necessarily the same kind of experience. While there can similarities by these “induced” methods of going out-of-body – the best means of creating an out-of-body experience might be just letting go of the need to be in control.

This is anathema for the mind. The need to be separate and tethered to the identity of who you think you are is lost when you go out-of-body. You see yourself but not through the lens, beliefs or conditions of your personality or body. This creates a feeling of unity, that is essentially love. A love that you have in reconnecting to everything – once again – but just outside your body.

I’ve head some advocate leaving your body by keeping a cord or tie to it. This resembles your body -like an anchor – connected by a cord to your the soul drifting like a balloon. This is supposedly done, “so you can find your way back into your body.” I don’t encourage such considerations because your soul isn’t lost and it doesn’t need a kite string, or something more substantial, to find your way back into your physical body. Though imaginative, this idea feels like a myth born from origins of our physical journey starting with an umbilical cord still attached by getting high above your body.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that the phrase getting high references getting high above your body. No doubt, using drugs can be used as a pathway to having an OBE but I’d suggest a little caution. The primary reason is because drugs can be used as means to escape the body. I’d present that an OBE is like not using a vehicle to travel. Instead of driving, you leave the car parked in the garage.This is quite different than using drugs to numb and remaining very attached.

Let me share four ways you can let go of your body to create a clean out-of-body experience.

Dreams. I love this particular gateway because it’s easy for your mind not to be activated. This fact enables the greatest of opportunity to create an out-of-body experience. Remember the key to oneness is through openness. When you’re asleep there’s a natural invitation to connect to oneness. This is a integral part of dreaming.

Try using your dream state to create an OBE. Before you go to sleep offer yourself an autosuggestion or an invitation for an OBE. This can be as simple as using the statement, “I’m open and ready to experience being outside my body.” Or say, “I am free to explore outside my body.”

As you do fall to sleep, remember you really don’t need your body. There’s no need to be attached to your body, especially at night since it’s resting anyway, so it’s completely safe to release it. There’s wonderful things that happen in your consideration of such as suggestion, when your mind/ego doesn’t need to be in control. Instead you can trust your soul, the Universe or the Divine to guide you as you float above your sleeping body.

You could also read or listen to other OBE’s. This puts the mind in a suggestive state of inquiry about how others are doing it. However, my personal advice is for you to create your own path. The mind may not like this guidance, but you’ll find it the best portal as you intuitively go forward.

Meditation. In preparation of using the dream state, and using autosuggestion affirmations before sleep, to access going out-of-body -consider mediation. I’m referencing silent formal meditation where you sit in a cross-legged position. With your posture straight, put all your focused attention into conscious breath. This means thinking of nothing except breathing.

It doesn’t matter how long you meditate, but it’s extremely important that you’re not thinking. I’ve offered this simple exercise in my retreats and I’ve watched people; itch their nose, swat at flies, move their arms and legs, chew gum, open their eyes and look around and more. If you’re engaged in any unconscious or conscious thoughts or activities then your brain is engaged. You’ll need to be able to sit, without thought before proceeding to the next part of this same suggestion.

After mastering the art of sitting in silence without thought and not moving, see if you can detach from your body and twist it. The best way to explain this is keeping your body perfectly still, and moving your soul so it’s no longer facing forward. To understand this maneuver better, imagine standing before a trifold bridal mirror. These mirrors are designed to provide a 360-degree view of the dress, allowing the bride to see the front, sides, and back simultaneously for a comprehensive look. Using this explanation, the only thing that will move will be your eyes, or maybe you might slightly twist your head. The body stays still.

Keep your body still and pivot your soul around the unmoving vertical axis of your body facing forward. Try twisting your soul at 45°to the left. Then try it 45° to the right. Then try moving it 90° in either direction. Finally, try facing 180° backward.

Once you’ve mastered this, it’s time to move the vertical axis. With the vertical axis free you can spin your soul vertically instead of just moving it horizontally – this means you can flip yourself upside down – while sitting still within your body.

Continue playing with this process of twisting, or flipping your soul, within your unmoving physical body, until there is no attachment. This exercise is preparing you for detaching to actually leave your body. In my body I’m prone to motion sickness and I’ve spun it faster than any top, or astronaut in spinning space capsule, without any recourse. As you continue to detach you will feel a lightness.

When we stand on Earth, we feel our weight because gravity pulls us down. This pull creates resistance that our body experiences and is measured as weight. However, when you enter a pool of water, the water supports part of your body and reduces that resistance. As a result, you feel lighter, more buoyant, and able to float. This takes us to our next how to create an out-of-body experience.

Salt Water Floats. Floating in any kind of water is liberating but even more so when the salt level is so high that you’re actually pushed to the surface. The sensation is unlike any other—a weightless, almost otherworldly feeling similar to floating in space, and it’s very soothing not to feel bodily weight. If you combine meditating without thinking while being in a salt water float you may want to fly out of your body.

As you rest on your back in the stillness of a float tank, the gentle support of only a few inches of water cradles you. In the quiet, you may begin to sense the subtle places where your body has been holding on—sometimes to burdens, sometimes to emotions—softly rising into awareness like ripples dissolving into calm. At first, this might feel awkward but if you remain motionless your body will begin to release the tension and you’ll find yourself relaxing. In minutes, you’ll find yourself floating, motionless on a bed of water.

The sensory deprived chamber, as salt water floats are sometimes called, greatly reduces the distractions that come from your senses being so active. Unlike mediating in a sitting cross-legged position, floating I will further reduce the idea that you have to support yourself. Anything that can be done to assist you in honoring your body but detaching from it will help you in creating an OBE.

And as much as I love all the above, I’ve saved my favorite tool for last – Automatic Writing.

Automatic Writing.  Which is also called Freewriting is a tremendous spiritual tool to connect. Automatic Writing is a process where you unconsciously write without any kind of guidance or direction. Automatic Writing like silent meditation only your holding a pen.  If you have, or have seen others meditate -sitting in a lotus position silently – without thinking then this is equivalent to Automatic Writing.

The key difference is that you will use your body to write, but you’ll do so without thinking. You can see the pattern throughout all the examples of how to create an OBE. You don’t use your mind; when dreaming, meditating, while floating in a salt tank, and you don’t want to use your mind when Automatic Writing either. Using your body to automatically write while going out-of-body may seem difficult but it doesn’t have to be.

I think of Freewriting as a leverage point to open many many spiritual doors including going out of your body. Like meditating in a sensory deprived chamber, you can use your body to write, a mechanical process really, while also concurrently leaving your body. If you haven’t tried this method it might seem incredibly difficult to being using your body when all the other alternatives in how to create an OBE has your body in a dormant state.

You’ve been conditioned to think about what you’re going to write.  When you write this way, it’s quite typical; to write, stop, think, edit and research. Freewriting is the opposite of all of this. When your Freewriting your writing a stream of consciousness which means you don’t ever stop to think. This has it’s place in creating an OBE.

When you do create an OBE the fastest way to return to your body is to engage the thinking process. The mind wants to have control. This is why not thinking while doing an activity, such as writing, may seem impossible but it’s an very advanced step to allow yourself to spiritually connect without really using your body.

Those who really want to learn the Freewriting process, can start with 5 Ways to Start Automatic Writing. If you have a deep desire learn more about Automatic Writing, then I’ve created a 24 lesson video course called the Secrets of Freewriting. Learning how to write a stream of consciousness can take you out of your body and a lot further. This process, can enable your access -as a channel- many things that go outside your body and your mind.

Learning to go out of your body while writing or doing something else with your body can take some practice but it’s so worth it. The dividends of going outside your body, watching it mechanically breathe, let alone write, prepares you for so many other spiritual experiences.

In summary of Secrets of Out-of-Body Experiences is found in your detaching from your thinking mind and then your body. The four ways mentioned we talked about are:

Dreams. Being open is the key to oneness which unlocks the door to going out-of-body. Going to sleep with an intention that it is safe and fun to explore in an OBE.

Meditating. Putting all of your intention on breath and when mastered, that you begin twisting your soul in different positions while keeping your body still.

Salt Water Floats. Floating on water is the closest sensation that you can have to being outside of your body. Being in sensory deprived chamber decreases your attachment to the outside world and creates a portal to the inside world.

Automatic Writing. This means could be the most challenging of all the other means of going OBE because you actually engage with your body instead of putting it to rest. However, the benefits of going OBE through Automatic Writing and perhaps using the course Secrets of Freewriting are made available for the advancing soul who really wants to engage on a completely different plain, pun intended.

There you have it. Four Secrets to create an out-of-body experience. I hope enjoy the ride, and please consider commenting or sharing your adventures with your OBE’s.
