Has anyone ever experienced and OOBE? (out of body experience)?

No, but I know some great books you can read if you're interested. They are fantastic and each one gives you a better understanding of just what it is and how it differs for each individual according to their faiths and beliefs. Once I lost my daughter I really wanted to know more about all of that and I thought the best way to prove that there really is life after death was to read about people who had had these experiences. Very Fascinating!\n\nI'm talking about people who actually died and came back to life at hospitals and such. Not something brought on by witchcraft or the choking game.

Honest to God!  On the night of 4-21 (just two nights ago) I went to a local cemetary to record EVP and take some pictures.  Towards the end of the investigation I asked for someone to show themselves.  Either as a mist or super charged orb or to touch me on the arm, back or hair.  Just a moment later I felt someone messing with my ponytail.  It was the coolest thing!  I gasped because I didn't really expect anything to happen but I wasn't at all frightened.  I can't wait to go back.  I also have a bunch of ghostly voices recorded from previous investigations in cemetaries.  So far, I haven't experienced any evil entities.  Let's hope it stays that way.  Also, my house has several spirits in it.  I've witnessed some interesting things.  Pretty soon I'll have the chance to investigate the haunted house of my boyfriend's aunt.

You should look into a book called "journeys out of the Body" by Robert Monroe. It sort of sounds similiar. Some people have the ability to leave thier body and have out of body experiences. This may or may not be it, but I've heard that if you don't know what it is, it can be scary. It is completly safe. But I would go get checked out by a doctor to make sure...I really think you're body is probably asleep and you're mind isn't and you're trying to go out of body...sounds silly to someone who doesn't know much about it, but believe me it is real. Check out the book. Also, try to relax during it and see what happens...let it take you...It can't hurt you...just sort of go with the feelings...trust me, you'll be fine.\n\nAlso, look into Panic attacks. BUt I really think it is the above...

I've never seen one, but my son had an interesting experience which he's loathe to talk about to this day.  He was driving out to see a friend around ll:00 at night, when he saw a very large, very bright light in the sky above an empty field.  He became so frightened he had to pull over.  After what seemed like a few seconds, he continued on his way. When he arrived at his destination he found he'd been on the road for over an hour longer than it should have taken him to drive to his friend's.  He forgot all about it until the next time, months later, when, driving by the same field, he became unexplicably filled with terror.  He shook so hard he could barely drive.  He had this same irrational fear come over him every time he passed that field, so he simply found another route.  I encouraged him to try to find out more about it, but he says it's too scary & weird & he'd rather not investigate, preferring not to know what happened.  I do believe we are not alone in this infinitely vast universe.  I only wish I could prove it!  If there are ET's, I hope they show themselves in MY lifetime.  I'd love to know the truth!

Yes, I have. He is an Indian shaman. He told me that his name should only be known to me and not to share it with others. I was involved in a serious vehicle accident while serving in the Army. The accident occurred north of El Paso, TX on a small military range in New Mexico. I was thrown from the vehicle as it flipped over. For the next 5 days, I was awake and talking in the hospital trauma ward. But, I have no memory of those 5 days. That is except for one thing. I had a re-occurring dream, or at least I thought it was a dream. I was standing out in the middle of the desert watching a burial take place. Next to me stood me spirit guide. We watched without saying a word as two men brought the body of a deceased man to a place in front of us. The mans body was carried on a man made stretcher made of wood & animal skins. The stretcher was placed on top of four - 6' long poles, one pole at each corner. Then the men moved away. The shaman and I would turn and look at each other now & then. Still no words were spoken. Then, another man walked over to the body with a torch in his hand. He set the body ablaze. We watched as the body was consumed by fire. It was then that I realised. The body on the stretcher...was me. This whole dream repeated itself time & time again until I finally awkoe from fog that my mnd was in due to the accident. The whole dream sequence was shown to me as a way to tell me that my life was beginning again and I would be going down a new path. I now refer to that time in my life as my "phoenix phase". Thank you to my guide for helping me through a difficult transition.

One time on a camping trip, a witch and I created a psychic link which allowed us to keep tabs on each other without needing those family band radios.\n\nPersonally, I do spiritual healing with singing bowls. I play the bowl in someone's hand, and feel the vibrations as they extend through the person, and can tell them where the vibrations are and what they're doing.\n\nI used to work with a Reiki master who could tell people many details about their lives while we were doing our energy work. Very specific things\n\nI have never heard anyone say, "I really shouldn't have trusted my gut instincts."

Near Death Experience. Usually results in a change in behavior/beliefs.\n\nI've had one before, so, yes.

As a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked at a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nOne time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a large camping gathering, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, clearly visible to everyone, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nOn another camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."\n\nI do spiritual healing with singing bowls. I play the bowl in someone's hand, and feel the vibrations as they extend through the person, and can tell them where the vibrations are and what they're doing.\n\nI used to work with a Reiki master who could tell people many details about their lives while we were doing our energy work. Very specific things\n\nOne time on a camping trip, we created a psychic link which allowed us to keep tabs on each other without needing those family band radios.\n\nOne time, while engaging in on-line activities, a witch and I played a game of "where am I touching you" and we were able to correctly identify where and how the other person was touching from thousands of miles apart over IM\n\nFor a while, a friend and I maintained a karmic connection, and sometimes I would smell something, and call her up, and it was exactly what she was smelling.\n"Did you just make cookies?"\n"Was the dog just breathing in your face?"\n"Did you just disinfect something?"\n\nOften times when I'm driving, I'll see someone walking who doesn't look as several cars go past, and I'll look at the person, and they'll turn to look as I approach. Whereas people with the person (the ones I wasn't looking at) don't turn.

This was close enough ton a miracle for me.\n\nSeveral years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away. \n\nWhile driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.\n\nThree days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to. \n\nI feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.\nDuring the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible. \n\nI can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.\n\n I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings. \n\nYour brother don

Dear Sinful:\n\nIgnore the ignorant.  Goes without saying.  Don't want to post it all here, too private for me.  If you want to know my story then contact me off board:  filmjeff@yahoo.com\n\nIt's quite a unique experience but not "near death" as clinically defined.\n\nJ

Yup. Right now, I just enjoy (like a little kid) the flying (sometimes like a bird, and sometimes playful like superman). I tried aiming for a certain country....not sure if I got there, but I arrived somewhere...lol. So, next time, I'll aim for a place I've actually been before. When I realize I'm in my astral body, I'm not afraid anymore. I was very afraid for many years, because I didn't know what was going on. I'm still a little bit afraid when I realize I'm in the astral dimension/world, but I try to have fun with it now. A few times I felt entering and exiting, both accompanied by a buzzing/ vibrating sound...one time it was so loud that I almost couldn't stand it. Even then I didn't panic, because I knew what was going on. Getting back down, ...back into my body sometimes seems way too fast,...but I just tell myself, "I'll be fine.".. and depending on how my body is positioned I imagine using my arm and hand  in such a manner that would allow for a smooth - I call it: home- coming. It's so liberating to know that I'm not the only one who experiences astral  projection....because I only found out recently that there are many!

I have one. His name is Pin. I could not care less if you think it sounds crazy, I did too. I do not really see anything ( there are different types of ghosts) I feel movement on the back of my motercycle seat as if someone is sitting there, I feel someone kicking the back of the seat in the car, I put something down ( I am systematic to a fault, everything in the same place all the time... keys, wallet watch, cell phone etc...) and will find them in obscure places in the house. Some of those places I had not been to in days. I do know that a ghost can choose thier host. If one chooses you, you are fortunate. Say hello now and then and your luck will increase ten-fold. Try it and you will see. I imagine the reason you ask is because you have experienced something. Join my blog group if you have actual ghost experience and discuss it.

i can say yes to both.\nfirst i heard about it, then i remembered, holy molly i had that when i was 7 years old !! then i read about it and had a couple of them again.  it's real and actually, surprisingly it's a natural function of humans.  it turns out we allllllllllllllll do it absolutly all of us.  the thing is we are not conscious during it so we don't remember.  so what we call out of body experience are the ones during which we are conscious and remember.

Being I've had them, I assume they are common. As far as "astral projections" are concerned, I can't imagine they could be verified in any rigorous or scientifically adept way...at least at this time. Have you read much about "remote viewing?" There has been some notable experiments carried out in this area for which I see some correlations.  Your last comment about the third moon of Saturn seems a bit "tongue 'n cheek" which makes me wonder if you're not a major skeptic. That's okay, 'cause I am too... I just try to keep an "open mind."  Entertaining any GUTS theory tends to have that effect on you.

I tried to do the same thing. It never worked.

Yes, I have had an out of body experience, but I didn't go to heaven or hell.  I had a very bad automobile accident, and was rushed to hospital by ambulance with sirens screaming etc.  When we got to the hospital casualty staff were waiting and the ambulance personnel quickly got me out of the ambulance and rushed me into the emergency section.  I was fully conscious (I think, but I have never discussed this with anyone so I'm not sure now).  Anyway, as the ambulance guy pushed my stretcher at full speed into the casualty section - I found myself on the ceiling above the stretcher.  As he and other people rushed the stretcher along a corridor, I bounced up and down on the uneven bricks in the ceiling.  I felt incredibly nauseas.  Then we rushed into an emergency room where there was a doctor.  As we came to a stop, I came down onto the stretcher again.  The doctor prodded and poked etc, but the whole time he was doing it I couldn't really open my eyes, because there was a window behind me and the full noon sun was streaming through it and it hurt my eyes it was so bright.  Then I asked the doctor to close the curtains or blinds on the window and he was perturbed and gestured and I managed to turn around a little and there was just a blank brick wall (ordinary room wall) behind me.  The light was gone the moment I looked and the room was so drab and dark compared to before.  I have no explanation for all of this, but it does make me wonder sometimes.  I obviously survived the accident - I still have scars but I came out amazing well considering.  The doctor in the emrgency room repeatedly told me 'you have been very lucky'.  Was there an angel there?  I often wonder.
