MEDITATIONS AND OBES

I have become a firm believer in MEDITATION/MEDITATING, every single day, sometimes more than just once or twice. This is the method we use to "go within". Yes, we are really "in there", not out here in this huge world. We are inside looking out at the greatest adventures presented to us, both good or bad. And there are many wonderful CDs that can be used for Guided Meditations.
During meditation we can find very exciting and mysterious universes that we have never imagined existed. You do not need to sit down and strike some position that is uncomfortable to one's self. Simply by sitting in a chair or reclining on your bed, you can go in to deep states of meditation. It will relax our minds. Stop the busy noises and voices that are being thrown at us every day. Meditating can also prepare us for each day and it can also prepare us for our great adventures each night before going to sleep.
It can also be used as a technique to astrally project. I do not usually use this method to project, but have on occasion found myself disconnected from my physical body without intent.
You do not have to be a Buddhist Priest to meditate or a Yoga enthusiast. You can even do it while riding on the bus to work or the train. (But please don't attempt it while driving a car!)
Once while relaxing and meditating on my bed after a rather stressful day working at my gallery, I found myself, suddenly standing at the foot of my bed looking in the direction of the fireplace. At first I was somewhat surprised, but immediately, distracted and caught up with a banging sound? What on earth was that I thought to myself as I seemed to glide effortlessly towards it. It was coming from in the direction of the fireplace, which happened to be burning at the moment. As I got close, and directly in front of the fireplace, I looked at the mantle, but saw nothing unusual except a soft halo covering the mantle and the object on top of it. But, I still heard that banging sound and thought it was strange?
I should inform you that I never once looked back at the bed that I was meditating on where my body might be........ This I had decided sometime ago was to because I had a small fear about actually seeing my physical body while out of body. I remember standing there and absorbing these moments of being out of body. Then suddenly without notice........BANG! I was back on my bed in my body looking at the ceiling. The very first thing I noticed besides the electrical current coming from my lips and tips of my fingers was the banging sound. I got up immediately and walked towards the mantle and the banging got louder and I quickly turned to my right and saw the radiators.....and noticed the loud banging sounds. I laughed and thought to myself, "The radiators!" The air coming up from the radiators....now I recognize that sound. A very familiar sound from old radiators when air comes up.
I remember another time waking up one morning, or I thought I had..... And thinking to myself, "I think I will meditate for a few minutes". I never really opened my eyes. I started to meditate and then upon completion, I got up out of the bed and walked towards the windows, where there was beautiful bright sunshine coming into my bedroom. I thought to myself, "Wow! What a beautiful sun shinny day!" Then I seemed to turn around abruptly in the direction of my bed and to head back and ......WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I laughed so hard inside myself it seemed. I saw this little bald head half way out from under the covers, eyes closed and very contently asleep. IT WAS ME!!! I had finally gotten to see MYSELF without fear or thinking or realizing I had not gotten out of bed, but I was OUT OF BODY! It was such a surprise that suddenly, my stomach became soooo heavy .....as if heavy lead had been poured inside it and I was becoming very, very heavy and unable to sustain myself in the astral..... Within seconds I was sitting up in my bed. What a surprise!
More later..............

Love and Light!
