Hey Nayru (like your nic)

Welcome to the forums.. I will try and answer some of your questions.

quote:When is being out of your body an OBE and when Astral Projection? What is the difference between the two?

They are the same thing.

quote:Also, Astral Projection can be controlled, so, you can AP whenever you want. Is this also the same with OBE's?

Yes and yes.

quote:When do OBE's occur, is there something that triggers them, like emotions, or goes it 'at random'?

Everyone leaves their body every night while sleeping! Isn't that great! problem is alot do not remember.  You can start practicing a conscious projection which means you are aware of the astral body separating from your physical body.  

You should check out this link.. I seem to be giving this link alot, but what can I say, it is good!  He explains things in a easy to read manner and I found it quite helpful.

My interpretation is that both astral projection and ethereal projection Are OBEs. The term out of body experience covers a number a diferent types of projections including projections to the 'higher planes' such as the Mental, Buddhic and Atmic planes.

Yes, I know people leave the body at night, what I was meaning is, when does it happen when you're awake, because of what? ^.^  


Thanks for your time, guys. I'm checking the link right now. ^.^

I had just one OBE in my entire life. It was awhile ago, and I didn't expect it all. I was meditating, for once, quite deep, which I usually don't since I'm not very fond of meditation, and suddenly.. bang, out of body. I saw myself sitting on my bed. I could look around, but I was so shocked (I knew what it was, figure you, but still I was so shocked I couldn't think clearly) that I thought of only one thing: 'Go back to body! NOW!'. I learned that you can go back to your body by simply thinking about it and wanting to go back, although according to the articles I learned this from, it was for Astral Projection, but still it worked. I instantly got out of meditative status, and when I was recovered from the shock.. well, all sort of questions popped up. Questions I can finally ask here.

With Astral Projection, you get out of your body.. I can't Asral Project, but I have read that you can hang around in 'this' world, or go to the astral plane. Whatever you do: you're out of your body. When is being out of your body an OBE and when Astral Projection? What is the difference between the two? I suppose you can't go to the Astral plane when having an OBE, but that doesn't make sense to me. Also, Astral Projection can be controlled, so, you can AP whenever you want. Is this also the same with OBE's?

Thank you for your time and help. ^.^
