Can i use affirmations to leave my body permanently?For example:what would happen if i fall asleep saying something like"after i fall asleep i want to permanently leave my body"?

That is called death. I don't think it would work like that, but that's just my opinion.

I think a better solution would be to have these experiences, but then come back and live your life here the best that you can.

I think you would just dream you left your body for good and you would be a little disappointed when you woke up.  On the other hand, if you went to sleep wishing to leave your body for good and you had the habit of sleepwalking, you could accomplish it.  But, that brings out the definition of suicide.  Affirmations in religion are usually given by faith and the bible tells you 'faith without works is dead.'  Once you affirm something, it usually means you are ready to defend it.  I think it is a fictitious thought that you actually 'leave' your body during any sort of procedure but then the heart has a brain of its own and it will beat without the brain, however you cannot willfully separate the two.  But, if you are thinking of suicide, do not do it.
