Thread: OBE while awake (for sure)?...anyone?

I OBEd while sitting on a couch once. I was quite awake because I panicked and tried to get back to my body. The lights were on, I was involved in daily waking activities. An odd world we live in . . . .

It is an odd world we live in.

Well, I'm now convinced what i experienced wasn't an OBE, (having read more about it)just a waking guided meditation with a witchy-poo of an ending.

or, for short a WGMWPE

Having an out of body experience while you are awake is very easy to do. You do not have to have OBE's strictly through the astral body; for some reason that is a big misconception. In fact I almost never do that because it makes me so damn sleepy and it just isn't very fun in my opinion.

Your experience is more or less determined by where your attention point is. So all you have to do is learn how to move your attention point out of your body. Now the problem is that for most people they only have enough awareness, and inner permission, to have their attention point in maybe 2 or 3 places in their body-space (with their frontal sinus/analyzer/problem solver space being one of those), because of all the underlying unconscious programming. So that means if you can't move your attention point at will, and experience all kinds of weird and wild stuff as a result, that you have to learn how to do that. Also it helps to learn how to match, and un-match, different energies.

But after you have that down, here is what I suggest:

What I do is open my crown chakra very wide and then move my attention point out of my body, above my head, and then into a star. It's great to do it at night when you can actually see the stars. You should start hearing music inside your head very clearly, seeing interesting/strange images, and your whole body will vibrate really intensely. You probably will not be able to go to sleep right away. The longer you spend moving your attention point out of body the more intense the experience will be. So some people may have to spend 3 days to a week meditating on moving that point out of their bodies. Usually it takes just as long to meditate to get back into the body though.

Also you should, ideally, know how to ground really well or you could be screwed trying to get back into your body, but chances are your unconscious programming is so heavy that might not necessarily be a problem. Also, it might light up all the transmedium energy, and death pictures, in your space and you could experience some not so fun things too. Everyone is different. Also, coming back into the body, it is important to close down the upper chakras very slowly, otherwise intense splitting pain in the head can occur.

(There are various ways of learning to move your attention point; it certainly helps to practice moving your point of attention to different spots in your body, during meditation, as a first step. Another good tool is to practice dissolving your perception of body boundaries consciously. We do this all the time unconsciously. Like right now, how aware are you of your feet on the ground? Or did they just pop back into your awareness? What you can do is to get a small towel and scrunch it up and then lay down and place that towel on your face; be aware of the towel, then let it dissolve into your face (mentally speaking), so that you are no longer aware of the towel, then after that let your perception of your own face disappear.)

super vague. also...sitting on the couch sounds like a relaxed state of consciousness.....almost falling asleep perhaps? daily waking activities may have involved watching tv and getting drowsy?....odd world we live in for sure.
