Out-of-Body
Non-physical Roller Coaster Ride
I’ve started a daily meditation routine in the morning. I wake up, shower, and sit for 45 minutes. This is new to me because usually I associate meditation with sleep and out of body experiences, but this time period is when I’m very awake and alert. It’s been fun.
But I have missed my afternoon naps, which have been a source of weird experiences. So today I laid down after lunch for old times’ sake 🙂.
I was specifically trying to not control. To relax. To let go. To savor and enjoy the simple contentment I feel while meditating.
After a while, I started to see a bright light, and freaked out. My heart began to race and I was too excited. The sad part is it might have just been sunlight hitting my face, but I’m not sure. Either way, I got too excited and couldn’t maintain my meditation.
I calmed myself down, and kept going.
Eventually, I felt myself separate from my body. I floated up maybe 6 inches.
Instead of trying to control the experience, I kept meditating, and specifically let go of the controlling mind that always has some task to do.
I was whisked away, to put it mildly.
I couldn’t see anything, but felt my non-physical body being propelled at tremendous speeds. It felt like I was a little speck being played with by a friendly giant.
The being would push me in different directions, then let go, and launch my non-physical body through the void – then catch me and whoosh me around in another direction.
It was exhilarating! But also a bit scary!
Fear would bubble up in me – what if I was being sucked into a black hole? What if it was a demon? What if… etc.
I just relaxed and let go. I trusted that it would all work out and focused on the fun.
The last trick they caught me in such a way that I was vertical. I felt hands under my feet, as they accelerated to a breakneck speed, pushing me higher and higher, then finally letting me go and launching me into the air.
It was wild!
Then I returned to my body and woke up.
I feel so lucky to have these sorts of experiences, what a blast!
