subject: How Is It Possible To Have Out Of Body Experiences? [print this page] An out-of-body experience is also referred to as OBE. An out of body experience usually involves a floating sensation outside of one's body. It is known that almost one in ten people have experienced OBE at some time in their life. Obe is reported to have occurred in different ways for different people. Some have stated that they have experienced OBE spontaneously; some say that they have experienced a mental or physical trauma, etc.
In addition there are many techniques that have been developed to encourage the OBE experience, such as imagination in a state of meditation and relaxation. There are different types of OBE's like during or near sleep, near - death experiences and others.
There have been a number of cases where people have reported to recall the complete accident from outside the vehicle.
In addition OBE can be induced by tremendous physical effort. Just as a person who runs a marathon. When he works very hard in the marathon there could be a feeling of weightlessness and he could also view himself from above. You can even look at inducing controlled consciously OBE and pre - meditated OBE. These inducement techniques have been attempted upon for further development.
Even controlled consciously OBE and pre - meditated OBE can be induced. There have been attempts to develop this inducement technique. Let s take a look at different types of methods that can be induced to experience OBE's. These are mental induction, chemical induction and mechanical induction.
Chemical Induction is one way to induce OBE's. OBE's can be induced chemically by using drugs of several types. Some of these include dissociative hallucinogens like phencyclidine, dextromethorphan, etc. If someone is under the influence of these drugs, it is also known as a psychedelic state. People under the influence of some of these drugs have reported a feeling of their soul being out of their body and that they have the ability to travel to different places at the same time.
In case of mental induction a person falls asleep but does not lose sleeplessness. This technique has been utilised by Thomas Edison and is known as the body asleep and mind awake technique. Edison had used this technique to deal with problems that came up at the time of his inventions.
To induce different wave techniques binaural beats are used. In addition sinusoidal wave pulses, a different technology is also used for inducing this. Although both of them give same outcome. Two more differing techniques used for inducing mental induction are sensory overload and sensory deprivation.
Out of body experiences hence can be experienced in more than one way and by different inducement techniques. Limitation is not just to one way. So mechanical inducement, chemical inducement and mental inducement are some of the ways to induce OBE's. The outcome of these inducement techniques is not the same on everyone. They may experience different things.
