Out-of-Body, Psychedelic
Heat and Symmetric Static
I had two out of body experiences (OBEs) the past day.
The first one was yesterday. I laid down for my afternoon nap/meditation. After sleeping around 1.5 hours, I woke up, but intentionally slowly without moving too much.
I continued meditating. It took me a while to un-hypnotize myself from the dreaming state of mind I was left in after my nap, but eventually I was able to regain full consciousness and lucidity.
I felt my non-physical body sink. Strangely, I got scared! I focused on beaming out a positive loving energy, and kept telling myself to relax more.
I couldn’t see anything, but started feeling my non-physical body zoom around.
I felt an intense heat on my face, similar to standing in front of a bonfire. It felt like literal physical heat on my face.
I attempted to see out of my non-physical eyes, but opened my physical ones instead, and the experience was over.
This morning I did the same thing: wake up slowly.
I had a mixture of visions and movement of my non-physical body. I specifically told myself not to panic like yesterday – I am totally safe! If I get freaked out, I can just wake up, so relax!
I couldn’t really do much else, and I couldn’t control my vision, or my location, so was somewhat bored as I blipped around.
I mostly saw black. I considered getting my sight online, but then I thought: why not try and look closely at the blackness, like in my previous meditations?
Instead of assuming I was only seeing blackness, I thought: what am I actually seeing? Let’s look closer, and concentrate.
Suddenly, out of the blackness, a rainbow static appeared. It was symmetrical, and the symmetry changed based on my intention. Sometimes it had 4-way symmetry, sometimes 6-way (like a hexagon), sometimes 8-way.
I continued to focus on it, and a white blob appeared in the middle, squiggling around.
I watched it for a minute or so, then my wife woke me up 😝. That’s one of the risks of meditating in bed with your partner next to you!
Oh well, it was cool! I like the technique of looking more closely at what I’m seeing, instead of just brushing it off as blackness. There is a lot behind that blackness, if I look closely.
