I’ve had some pretty wild experiences lately that I can’t wait to share! So, picture this: one night, I found myself slipping in and out of my body not just once, but five times! It felt so real that I could actually feel the wind brushing against my skin and hear sounds around me. Talk about a rollercoaster ride of sensations!
One moment during these out-of-body jaunts was really striking. I suddenly found myself back in my childhood home, looking at everything through the eyes of my younger self. It was incredible how vivid it felt—the colors, the smells, even the feelings of familiarity and nostalgia washed over me like a warm blanket. Isn’t it fascinating how those memories don’t fade completely? It made me think about how much we carry from our past within us.
Now, during these experiences, I discovered something unique with meditation. I decided to try this technique where I sat in a lotus pose and formed a triangular shape with my hands right at the root chakra. I call it "Eye Meditation." Sounds fancy, right? But really, it’s just a simple way for me to center myself. During this meditation, something really cool happened—an “eye of vision” appeared in that triangle made by my hands! It felt like a gateway to deeper insights. Honestly, who knew that simple hand positions could lead to such profound moments?
But let’s be real—keeping control while exploring other states can be tricky! A couple of times during my OBEs, thoughts popped into my head that were distracting—some pretty personal stuff too! You know how your mind sometimes just goes off on its own little adventure? Yeah, well, it happened to me during what should’ve been some peaceful experiences.
Before all this began—before those crazy trips outside my body—I went through an intense phase where it felt like I was teetering on the edge of life and death. There was this overwhelming fear that gripped me as if I was staring straight into that unknown abyss. In that moment of panic, my curiosity kicked in. What really happens after we die? It’s one of those heavy questions that linger without easy answers.
After everything calmed down though? Wow! The aftermath had an unexpected twist—it filled me with this energizing vibe. Suddenly, life felt brighter; it was as if something shifted within me post-experience. Have you ever had moments where you’re buzzing with excitement over nothing significant? That energy has stayed with me since then and honestly feels so beautiful!
So yeah, spiritual adventures can come in all shapes and sizes! They lead us back to memories while planting curiosity about what lies ahead. If you haven’t explored your own experiences yet—whether they’re pieces of your past or glimpses beyond—it might be worth exploring them gently! There’s truly something magical waiting when we open ourselves up to life’s mysteries.

I’ve been reflecting on how labels can really shape our understanding of experiences, especially when it comes to things like out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, and astral projection. It’s fascinating how simply naming these phenomena can influence how we perceive them.
Out-of-body experiences, or OBEs, can often come unexpectedly. Many people find they occur during emotional upheaval or moments spent in deep meditation. It’s interesting to think about how trauma can lead someone to feel disconnected from their physical form. Then there are near-death experiences (NDEs), where individuals encounter something profound after a brush with death. These moments can leave a lasting impact on someone’s outlook on life and what may lie beyond it.
Astral projection has its unique methods, too; it often requires sustained focus and concentration. It’s intriguing to read about others’ attempts to reach this state. From my perspective, the astral plane isn’t just some distant construct—it feels closely tied to our earthly existence. The experiences we have here are mirrored in that space, almost like a familiar echo.
Beyond the astral plane lies an array of different realms, each with its own vibe and way of communicating. The thought that there are distinct spaces where experiences vary is captivating. Sometimes I wonder what being in those realms could be like compared to our own experience of life here.
The nature of what we encounter in these various realms seems to reflect their essence—sometimes light, sometimes airy feelings, often a sense of love or connection. Communication can differ greatly too; while spoken language works in the astral realm as we know it, other dimensions might reveal themselves through pure intuition or unspoken understanding.
I've come to realize that everyone’s journey through these experiences is deeply personal. What I see and feel won’t necessarily resonate with someone else. Finding personal insights is such an important part of this exploration—after all, we have our individual paths to follow.
Before I finish this post, I just want to send out wishes for peace on your journeys—wherever they may lead you. Each exploration becomes more enriching when shared, so let’s keep supporting one another as we search for our truths together.

I’ve often thought about the idea of a spiritual umbilical cord—something that connects us to life in a way that goes beyond physical ties. It’s an intriguing thought, really. Just like our physical umbilical cord, which is only severed when we’re ready to leave this world, I believe there’s a deeper connection that remains until the moment of death. It feels vital not to rush into cutting those ties before we’re truly prepared.
In my journey through various roles, including combat medic, paramedic, nurse, and social worker in hospice care, I’ve witnessed the process of dying numerous times. Each experience has shaped my perspective on life and death in profound ways. I’ve encountered patients who seemed lifeless yet were later revived. Their accounts of floating above their bodies or visiting other places are nothing short of remarkable.
It’s fascinating how much energy surrounds someone at the time of death. Even if their body has been inactive for days due to illness or coma, there's still this palpable activity as they transition from life. It's as if time stands still during these moments; the air becomes charged with something indescribable.
I truly believe that there’s a supportive presence—a sort of “ground crew”—helping individuals as they move toward death. Whether we call them angels, guides, or something else altogether, I feel that they offer comfort during such a fragile time.
Reflecting on these experiences has been deeply transformative for me. They have shifted my understanding of what it means to live and die, making me appreciate each moment even more. Life and death are interconnected; understanding one helps us better appreciate the other. Sharing these stories feels important in helping us all find peace with this natural part of existence.

I’ve been reflecting on my practice of third eye meditation lately. It’s fascinating how this simple act can open up experiences filled with light and love. For those who might not know, the third eye, or brow chakra, is right at the center of your forehead, between your eyebrows. It’s quite a special spot in many meditation practices.
When I meditate on this area, I use different methods to focus my energy. Sometimes I visualize a triangle forming at that point; other times, I gently press on it with a finger. There have even been moments where I’ve used Tiger Balm to awaken sensations. Each approach feels unique and deepens my connection during meditation.
One thing that stands out for me is the importance of keeping no expectations. When seeking these out-of-body experiences, I find that having something specific in mind can actually hold me back from really feeling what’s possible. Instead, it’s like tuning into a channel just waiting to be explored.
During these sessions, there’s often an overwhelming wave of love and joy that washes over me—sometimes it feels like pure bliss! It’s hard to put this into words because they are such transcendent moments, far from our usual physical sensations.
I’ve also stumbled upon another kind of experience called cosmic consciousness. It’s intriguing how we can tap into such profound understanding here on Earth yet seldom discuss it openly.
Just wanted to share my journey with you all. Meditation has truly opened new doors for me!
Namaste.
