What would be the experience like if you wake up at midnight to find your body sleeping on the bed. That’s how the ones who have been through an “out of the body experience” feel. They find themselves wandering in their house or moving to new places while their body rests soul-less. It might sound like hallucination but Indian sages could do that by meditating. They had a thorough control over their soul and their conscious could leave them and go around while their bodies would lie beneath a tree where they were meditating.
Today, when people don’t really meditate, in certain moments their mind leads them to a state of trance when the energy is either focussed or they have their mind centered and they leave their bodies without their willingness to do so. The experience can be shocking and could leave one scared. Many people who felt they were spiritual by thoughts or had had a past life devoted to spirituality, have “out of the body experience” when they are asleep.
One of my friends shared how he left his body while he was asleep and moved out of his bedroom to find a huge black figure in the dark of his drawing room. The giant figure wanted to talk to him. This being his first “out of the body” experience scared him and he rushed back to his room. The dark image was still after him. He entered his room and found his body to be the safest place to get rid of the follower. He entered his body and the jerk of getting back was immense. He felt hammered on his forehead. He could see that dark figure even after he had entered his body and he was awake to the conscious life. The figure however disappeared after a few minutes and he was back to his normal self after an hour or so.
Life isn’t always what it appears to be. One must be ready for surprises always!
