Hello All.

     About a year and a half ago to two years ago, I had few events happen too me which I think possibly could be linked to Kundalini. It all happened within a weeks time. First, in general, I started feeling more light headed then normal, lack of energy to say the least. I ended up taking a shower and almost passed out in it. Could barley stand up. Didn't think too much of it other then maybe I was overtired.

     A few days later, I'm sitting on my bed eating wheathins when all of a sudden my body goes FREEZING cold. Not just for a few seconds, for about an hours. I ended up being bundled up for a bit I was so cold, yet it was really nice out. I had reiki done to me once before and it felt similar to that, except amplified times 20 and a lot more piercing.

     Later that day, I started twitching randomly. Mostly just my arms and legs but they were definitely involuntary and nothing I had ever felt before.

     That was about 2 years ago.

     Today. I haven't experienced a cold flash like before. The dizziness here and there but I don't think it's anything major. The one thing I do experience is the twitching. Sometimes it's more active than others. Say...very active in a month...next month...it will be not as bad. Sometimes it's subtle, other times full body movements. The funny thing is that the more I think about them, the more they happen. As I like subconsciously know, yet more tuned to doing it. The times when it happens randomly and it's not on my conscious mind whatsoever, is the time I know it's something. Here and there when I do it, I'll go "Ahhh", or some other random noise. Not that often though

      I haven't been to a doctor. I don't have insurance. I don't believe it's anything medical, although it sounds like a possibility of tourettes there. I just don't see it. The twitching/tremors just started after I had that cold flash. None before it. So In my mind they just have to be related. I've read about Kundalini symptoms several times and a lot of what I'm typing are some of those symptoms...yet, they can also be medical as well. I'm not completely sure. I figured if it was Kundalini that I would have this all knowing that I knew what it was.

And especially as of late, as in the last 3 months or so, I've definitley felt more spiritually aware. I've had 3 lucid dreams in a month, where I tried going lucid for a few years and couldn't accomplish it and this just happened naturally. Plus I've been seeing spots and lights of energy too. Usually bright and not lasting that long. Never really happened before.

     Any ideas?

So earlier today I was taking a shower when all of a sudden I got a massive energy rush I believe and felt as if I were going to pass out. It went straight too my head and I felt as almost if I were in the 3rd person. I was also talking to myself and my voice was insanely high. I got out of the shower right away and went to my bed to lay down. One more minute and I would have fallen and been out.

Now, this may just be your simple, someone "passing out" episode, but this has only happened to me when getting blood drawn. Last time I checked, that wasn't the case for me in the shower. I had a lot of sexual energy in there that could have induced this, but I'm not sure.

All I know was that it took over my whole body, mostly to the head, and I was talking in a high pitched voice and was acting a bit diluisonel**. Am I just experienceing passing out or what?

Thanks

Dont have the greatest memory, so my interpetation of this is kind of hazy. Here we go.

I dont remember where I was at to start, but i belive I was either on some cruise ship or some sort of big festival with a lot of people. Either way, I ended up walking into some room which looked pretty normal and had some middle-older aged women with white hair and a paitent of hers.

After her paitent leaves, I say somthing to her along the lines of "So, what do you do here?" She stares at me and says somthing along the lines of "Here's my chance to change this world" or "Here's my chance to help someone out". One of the two.

So I sit down in a chair and she tells me to relax. She then puts a plastic bag over my head and says some encantation. All of a sudden im out of the room and in my own room where I'm actually sleeping

This is where things get weird. I'm laying on my stomach and trying to get up but theres some force against my back. I then peer over my shoulder a few timese and see somthing on my back i can't describe. At one point I saw somthing in black robes, but mostly everything is blurry. Like my eyesight had gone wack.

Now as all this is going on i here strange noises in my room. Noises I dont remember now, but could somewhat decipher what they where at the time. Either way they it was weird

So after i take a look back over my shoulder, i put my head in to my pillow. As I do this, whatever is on my back is trying harder to get "in" or is putting more pressure on me. But everytime i look around all I see is blurriness. It was like i had gotten a concussion.

This all last for 5-10 minutes or so until i finally decide to break free. To myself i belive i said "You can't controll me" and i rolled out of whatever was on me and no more pressure was being applied.

Now when i turn around, I dont see anything there directly behind me. But after a few seconds i see somthing to the midright of me. I dont exactly remember what it was, but i do remember that it looked like a reflection of my TV and looked like there was an 8x8 set of static. There was also a few more characteristics i dont remember.

But I get curious and lean over towards the thing. It then starts speaking to me in a harsy raspy voice. I couldnt really make out anything except for the phrase "Go behind the Gamecube". After it said that it said one more thing and then that dream was over.

Also, I had another small dream either in succesion to the previous one or it was directly before. I dont think its that significant, but it involved a girl I havent seen for a while and I was spending time with her. Thats it. Just thought it was weird i'd have this dream and the other.

But yeah, this dream was definitly weird and totally felt real. During the dream I actually thought everything was real. When I woke up, I wasnt sure if I was actually dreaminbg or not cause i returned to my room which was in my dream. Weird

Anyone have any thoughts on this weird dream? Which i could supply more info but again my memory isnt the greatest.

Thanks

I'm sure most of you have heard of or seen the infomercial about the Q-Ray ionized bracelet. Here's an excerpt from a FAQ site on how the Q-Ray works:

"It is believed that the Q-Ray Ionized Bracelet® works under the same principles as the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture. Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese therapy, originated over three thousand years ago. It is based on the belief that health and the body's overall well being are determined by a balanced flow of "Chi" (bio-energy), the vital life energy present in all living organisms. According to the acupuncture theory, "Chi" (bio-energy) circulates in the body along twelve major energy pathways called meridians, each linked to specific organs and body bio-electrical systems. There is a specific relationship between acupuncture points, meridians and the electrical currents of the body. The electricity is generated by an interaction of positively and negatively charged ions. As long as the flow of energy remains unimpeded and in balance, it is believed that we remain physically and mentally balanced, and therefore in good health. The Q-Ray Ionized Bracelet is a non-medical device, which we believe affects the body's bio-electrical balance of positive and negative ions (Yin-Yang), so as to achieve "Chi" (bio-energy)."

I also found this little excerpt as well:

"Individual results vary. Once the positive benefits that you enjoy while wearing the Q-Ray Ionized Bracelet begin to fade or
disappear it is time for a new Q-Ray as the ionized power in your bracelet has been exhausted, and cannot be restored."

I'm still on the fence on purchasing the bracelet. Theres been a lot of claims that the bracelet hasnt worked for many and that Q-Ray is a scam, so I dont know what to think. It would definitly be pretty cool if it works like its supposed too. Thatd be mint.

Anyways, Anyone have any suggestions on wether its worth buying or not? Or has anyone experince the Q-Ray firsthand? If so, how was it for you?

Thanks

Normally when i'm laying down in my bed i'm doing one of four things:

1. Trying to project or have an OBE
2. Think about life or what my plans are for the week with my eyes open/closed
3. Not really think at all and meditate
or most importantly
4. Try to sleep!!

Now the other night I was mainly just resting and thinking to myself in a somewhat concious state.(I was more tired than normal and dont think i had total control of what I was doing. Aka drifting off into sleep)

Anyways, about 5-10 minutes after resting with my eyes closed, I found myself staring right into a 8X8 projected sheet of symbols.(Hireoglyphicesqe) Mainly different types of lines and letters. And each symbol was a little bit bigger than the size of a baseball and had a brown color to them.

Now, I have no idea what this means or how i saw them. Or if it was just my imagination. I definitly  saw it with eyelids close and through the minds eye and the background color was about the same as it was with eyes open(I Did this at 530am so my room was dark but not to the point where I couldnt see anything) Also, after i was staring at these symbols i kinda open my eyes involuntarily/instinctvly and they were gone

All kinda weird too me. Anyone have any ideas on what happened or what i "saw" or have a similiar experience??

Thanks

Ive been relativly inactive in the field of energy work and obes for about 6 months now. Ive been practicing on and off and have started to get back in to the whole thing in this past week.

Anyways, I still have been able to achieve a full fledged OBE. Last night i attempted an OBE, and got to the same state that I usually get too. The state of paralysis and heavy vibrations. Although its very easy for me to get to this state, its difficult to get to the next. Like whenever im in this state and try to project, my heart starts pounding and it becomes really difficult to breathe. Well, this is only when i try to project, as i can just simply rest in this state as I do somethimes.

But ya, I still havent been able to project. Ive tried the Rope technicque and other various ones, but i still cant break the barrier.

I sort of did a while back ago. I had a partial OBE. Where I my body was violently shaking and they were the heavest vibrations ive ever felt, but i ended up gaining astral sight and i could see through my closed eyes and everything was purple. It was really cool, but i could project. And after that attempt, my voice was all messed up and my neck felt all crackly when i pushed against it. Some ppl suggested that I had a panic attack. Its possible, but who knows.

But I never think about that when I attempt to OBE and I have no fears whatsoever. I may have did back then, but definitly not now. And I know ive been out of everything for a while, but its frustrating to be able to pick up where i left off easily but still not be able to project

Lol Any suggestions? Oh and yes, i know i need to keep trying and not try so hard lol

First off id like to say that its nice to be back on the forums again. I havent been here since February(and i dont really know why) and somthing has drawn me back here again. Anyways, if your expecting some enlightment or some crazy experience and whatnot, then your reading the wrong post. This is just me basically ranting on and being a typical 17 yearold. Anyways, heres my post.(Note that my words arent in any particular order and are quite random)

I started coming to this site in July of 04'. I had always been entrigued of psychic things and what else is out there. On these forums, I learned alot about life. And not just astral experiences. I found out more about myself and why I am here. Astrally and metaphyically speaking, I didnt have much occur to myself. I did accomplish a partial OBE and felt really good while doing basic energy work, as did my body, but in someway i drifted away from the whole energy aspect of life and all the basic training I had done for about 6 months.

But I have also gained alot of knowledege talking to more people in my life now and I have felt a whole lot better then I did when i was depressed a year ago. But I still feel like im missing somthing. And Im not sure what that is. Id like to do more energy work and stuff portraing to that nature, but I have a hard time doing somthing every night. IE Im a slacker. Im trying to change, but its hard.

Now I come to the topice of my post. About 3 months into doing energy work and learning about the various things on this site, I started to feel that I was meant for somthing big. I mean I can feel it. I dont know what it is, whats the purpose, is it good or evil, but i feel im meant for somthing.

Well.....I hope so at least. My problem is that all this enegry stuff comes un-natural to me and I think that Im Wishing that Im meant for somthing big. Like I say Im meant for somthing big, yet I dont know that in the back of my mind my sub-concioius is telling me that I am and that im not meant for anything big.

But I also know that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. Yet......I have this feeling that I was put on this Earth for certain things, but in reality I want somthing more, and somthing or someone doesnt want me to try to acheive these things.

Does that make sense to any of you? I guess I just feel that im not natural at alot of things in my life, astral stuff included, and I feel that I want more, but somthing is holding me back and I dont know what. Yet ive put in alot of time in certain things, but then Ill see a friend who doesnt have as much intrest in a certain subject, have somthing happen to them and not to me. I mean.....I havent had anything paranormal happen to me yet. But I just feel that its not natural for me to feel these feelings, and that if i want somthing in my life then that thing is going to take alot of work and be un-natural

Well thats my post. I think i said the same thing about 10 times there, but whatev. I actually dont know what i just said. Lol. Quite confusing

Hey everybody my name is Dustin and dont usually like to ask for help. But I really need some mental healing.

I've been taking so many different medications and anti-depresaants but nothing is working. Right now i am not even in school. I have so much social anxiety its not even funny. Even with some of my friends. I just want to get on a good path. I told my parents I wasnt going to start school again until I get emotionaly stable. .....but it's very hard to achieve that. Medicine doesnt really help and I am not that advanced metapyshcially wise and whatnot and really can't heal my self that well.

I normally wouldnt ask for help, but I'm miserable and thought anything can help.

Well thank any of you for reading this and I deeply apprciate any healings.

(P.S. Ive had acne for 4 years ago and am down now to just acne scars. Any one have any techniques so I could make them fade away or could anybody heal them??? Thank you)

My friend was telling me earlier today that there has been scientific proof of people spontanious combusting. That they would randomy burst int o flames from the head and then going downwards. And that you could not detect tempatures in certain areas.

He said this may have happend when people harness energy they can't control. Like taping into a huge energy source or discoving a new high energy taking power. Such as learning to crawl before you walk. Same thing as in taking too much energy or getting to a certain part of development before your ready or before you can harness it.

So, is spontanious combustion possible and what do you think would cause it??

This is somewhat long.

Last Friday Night, I decided to do more research on communicationg with your sub-concious/inner guide/intuiton. (whatever you want to call it) I paid more attention to the "I will" phrase. That if you say with confidence "I will" to such and such, thatt it will happen to some degree or that you will have more confidenece about the subject. So I decided to try it out. Here are a few things I said and repeated to myself:

" I will get a girlfriend soon"
" I will figure out my school situation soon"
" I will get better at metapyshics and other things of that nature"
" I will do good at a major magic tournament soon"
" I will excel in poker"

Now I said all of these things in confidence and belived in each of my statements. I'll brake down a few of my statements and you tell if I was communicating in some way with my sub-concious.

"I will get a girlfriend"

This was when of my top priorites suprisingly. I've only had one gf and that really didnt count. Part of the reason I said this statement is because I suck at talking to people I don't know, wether male or female, and really wanted to have someone to talk too.

So Sunday afternoon one of my friends called me up right in the middle of the Dolphins game (god this season is horrible) and asked if I wanted to go to this girls house that he liked and hang out. He told me that she had a friend and that I should go. I had already been up since 6 P.M Saturday but decided to go anyway for some reason.

It was an alright time. We were there for like 6 hours and played some bball and watched "You got "Served" (I feel so black for watchin that) I had this weird feeling to this girl that my friend liked. I thought she was pretty cool and all but was lookin at her a lot and what not. I was my normal self here. Some what shy and really random and loud. The randomness only occurs when I'm with a group of friends but I was more loud then usuall. Anyways I felt different the next day. THis being monday.

I started thinking of this girl. I was thinking of all these senerios of me and her in my head. Like I was thinking/saw that we where at the movies and that when they were over, that these two hefty punks were talking to her and trying to take her away from me. One of the guys pushed me and tried to punch me. I then punched the guy back and beat the crap out of the other guy.  I hurt them really bad and told me and this girl to get out of here.

We were then driving back to her house. Note- I don't have a car or my license yet, I'm 17 and have been driving with my mom for like 4 months, but I was alone this time. I was ticked off at myself for beating these guys up and telling this girl that I was sorry if I got out of hand. We even went to her house and was telling the scene to her parents. Telling them that I have never got in to a fight and was protecting her daughter. Telling them I don't get into fights for the simple fact that I think I will hurt someone severly every time.

But to cut to the chase, I was thinkin of a few sceniors about her and myself. Like the an idea popped into my head and sort of played out in my head. I don't even know if I was fully controlling the images. Although some of was clear and actually saw stuff visually when I was thinking about it.

Next statement.

"I will figure out my school situation soon"

I haven't been to school for about 4 weeks now for the simple fact that I have bad socialy anxiety and am not comfortable around people I dont know unless I'm with friends. This has been a big issue for me in the last year.

But anyways I was proposed an offer by the school guidance counseler that I could have 3 blocks of this one class that helps kids with their work and was for kids who needed help or had disipline problems. My initital reaction was no way! I really wanted to have a tutor or do some sort of home school and be away from the school. It would be har to these options because they are aexpensive and my school is poor and is one a budget freeze.

But on Sunday I felt more positive about the idea. I was thinking I could just do the 3 blocks a day thing and be fine and deal with it. I was thinking that more positive about the school situation and it was really odd.

Only one more statement I had thoughts/images about so far.

"I will do a good at a major magic tournament soon"

For all of you who don't know, I'm talking about that trading card game where all the geeks you know hang out. But what a lot of those people don't know, that besides being fun, magic can also be quite profitable. I've played in some magic pro quallifier events and have done quite well. I am really good at stratagy games.

But on Monday, i had more images/words come to my mind. I was at a team PTQ and I saw that me and my friends where doing very well at the event and a lot of people were watching. I looked like I was having a good time and winning at the same time.

Now, I am wondering if my sub-concious is trying to connet with me or lay out a path for me. I guess came to this idea when i was in the shower monday night. Thinking, was that my subconcious was responding to me, or that I was making it all up. I beloved that it had to be my sub-conious or my higher self or whatever. I think this was my was for my Sub-concious to connect with me. Although, once these thoghts came to my head, I was in somewhat control of the outcome. Like my subconcios displayed these thoughts and images and I added on to it.

I have know Idea what this is. Or that is isn't my sub-concious, and this is what I want to happen. But with the statement about the girl, I think that if it was my sub-concious, that it may have been tricked. I said I wanted a girlfriend soon. My sub-concious may have randomly picked a girl for me to meet and gave me these ideas. Or maybe it wase just conincidence that my friend called me on sunday. I don't know, but the images I thought of were prett clear in some cases.

Any one have any comments or ideas if I am communicating with my sub-concious or that I am crazy??

Thanks.

I started coming to this site in July and was fascinated with the OBE and Astral topics. Saying "I think i could do that" After doing about a month, month and a half or energy work, I decided to try and OBE. I think I did pretty good for my first few attempts. I could get to the trance state without ease and really belived I could do it. On about my 7yj pr 8th attempt, I had a panic attack when trying to OBE. I had no idea it was a panic attack at the time and thought it was part of the process. My eyelids got transparet during the attack and I saw bluish, pupleish colors. I thought I was going to do it. Apperently not.

This happened in early Sept. After I had the panic attack, I was not practicing as much to have a panic attack. I say i'm not afraid to try again, but inside I sorta was. But after my panic attack, I tried a few OBE attempts. I feel asleep during the middle of all of them. I probaly tried about 5 times in the month of Sept and feel asleep in trance states and even before that. Now I know I have bad sleep problems, but this didn't happen before my panic attack.

I've also have had a difficult time breathing during the OBE attempts after my PA. Like last night I attempted. Got into the trance state,   thoguht I was about to do it and my heart was pounding moderatly fast and i was gasping for air. So it's hard to concentrate when I get to that point. Because I have to think about getting air. If I don't, I can't breathe. Again, this all didnt happen before my PA.

And one more thing. When i first started doing energy work and OBE attempts, I never thought of negative entities or demons or whatever trying to take my body or come into my room and talk to me when I was trying to OBE. NEVER thought anything of it.

But now, after I have had my panic attack, I keep thinking that somthing is watching me when I try to OBE. I don't think it is anything except my Sub-concious, but I don't know.

It's funny, If I didn't have that panic attack(which I have said about 100 times), I think I would have had an OBE or AP'D by now.

Any suggestions??

(Don't know the right topic for this)

I suffer from quite a bit Social anxiety.

i am not comfortable around people I don't know. Infact, I am a totally different person. Around people I know, I'm loud and obnoxious and always want to have a good time. But around people i don't know so well or don't talk to often, i am totally quiet and suffer from making small talk. This is a big problem for me.

Like right now, I haven't gone to school for the last 3 weeks. The last have of last year I had to get a tutor because I didn't want to go to school. Right now i'm looking for some type of homeschooling or tutoring, but it cost a lot of money and what not.

I don't know what to do. It's not that I want to fit in with society and others. but I just want someone to talk too. I mean it sucks sitting in a class at school and doodling on my notebook the whole day. I really like being alone and individual a lot of the time, belive me I do. Sometimes I just like to stay ghome, away from my friends, and just chill out and watch TV.

But the school part is really dificult for me. I'm taking ADs and meds to help with my sleep, but i don't really know if this help. I'm turning 17 in a few weeks and I havent even had a real job except for a paper route which I sadly still have. Don't have a car. I'm pretty pathetic.

I just wanted to know if you guys had suggestions on anything. Or if theres is a specific type of energy work or even healing tht could help with some of these issuses. Specificly Social anxiety, sleep problems, and memory problems.

Thanks

We all know that we need energy to live. But are we taking to much energy?? For example, grounding. We can control how much energy we take from other sources, such as the sun, moon, and other elements of nature. But I think that those type of elements on this planet don't have an unlimited supply of energy.

So is it wise for ourselves to take more energy needed away from these sources??

I'll probably just watch the Daily Show's review on Comedy Central. That show has about the most honest news on cable, just presented in a creative way.

The rules are pretty bad... I heard Nader talking about it on Coast to Coast. He said that back in the 1980's, debates switched over to a more privately organized event agreed upon by the republicans and democrats. This way, other parties can't really get onto the debates, nor do anything about it. Even though they aren't official debates, the media still covers them obviously, and they still get cost breaks from the government as if it were an official event, so really the only difference is that 3rd party candidates aren't given a chance to speak.

Along that same note, Jon Stewart noted on the Daily Show that though people will be allowed to ask the candidates questions, they questions had to be submitted before the debate, and, when read, if the question is deviated from the written version in the slightest, the citizen's mic is immediately muted and the debate moves along. They're really going out of their way to make sure no one hears anything they shouldn't.

HOw can he do that and why?

Is he getting his 15 years in'
#18
It is common when people start energy work to notice activity in their hands and feet first and formost. They are major energy ports between you and your enviroment, so it makes sense that you sense them as active all the time.

The main thing to strive for is balance. Just keep working on your whole energy body and all your chakras and they will develop and balance out. You might want to give a little more attention to those that are not as active, but not to the point of excluding the others.
#19
Well... must admit I too panic a bit
Seems to happen when I lose the feeling of my breathing, I get
scared that I "forget" to breathe somehow...

But if I relax myself again it all goes away and I have a slight feeling of my breath and conforts me...

As it is for falling asleep... I can't fall asleep on my back... but yes my mind is trying to convince me to turn on my side now and then... very hard to resist that...

Cube wrote an interesting article about this phenomenon... don't know if you read it?

If you were aware that you were dreaming, while dreaming, you were lucid. Otherwise, you weren't. Motivation is the key to anything, don't wait for it to happen, you have to jump right into it.

i sense a shield around you, but it is weak, i can pierce it with a single thought (fixed it, of course [:D])

don't worry though, just make layers of them, and practise hard, in time they will get stronger

be advised that they are purely for your confidence at this point, they won't stop anything (well, except bad emotions, i guess)

try making them sense things around you so you will know when you are played with, and wake you up if you are asleep (if you have a beeper just remember the reaction (feeling) you have when it wakes you up) now this one is a must, saved my butt a few times

the feeling of being shielded can be compared to being confined, or wrapped in cloth at some distance of the body, you will feel them clearer in time as you hone your senses

It is most definately posible.  Likely?  No.  By the time you get to that point, you most certainly won't be discussing it on here [:P]  To reach that point, you will have no ego, and without ego, there's no reason to post about it now is there?

dark apprentice, i feel that try or attempting to gather energy from lightning is very deangerous in my oppinion.

1.its lightning
2.youll probably get struck
3.if you do manage to absorb energy from it, the amount of volts it gives off will most likely kill you from too much absorbstion.

thats all i can say.
i think you should maybe start with something like tvs or one of those electric ball things where you put your hand on it and they follow your hand.
Lightning should be out of the question lol
#24
Hi,
  it happens to me a few times a week too.I believe that subconsciously,probably more when we are sleeping,we visualise and decide our future.Some of these visualized images reappear sometimes to our conscious mind.That's my opinion.
#25
You just feel it ... [8)] You feel something is going wrong in your energy and has an outside source. At least for me.

For the grocery store (lol), it's the same, eventhough it can be more difficult to catch an energy vampire, for some are unaware of it and don't display a feeling of negativity, you just start to feel drained, tired, although you weren't a few minutes before. In this case just leave the place, and avoid looking in others' eyes.

Well DA I have had many many OBE's and thankfully have never had the sypmptoms you describe.There is something not quite right with you suffering all that pain.For what it is worth i am sure you are very close to having your first OBE which usually for most people is quite a terrifying thing..eg when i was 17 over 37 years ago i had my foirst OBE...when I found myself floating above my physical body i looked down at it and went as you Americans would say"ape excrement" and shouted to myself "Get back! get back!"..and I did...but after that initital fear no problem..keep doing the pre sleep meditation.energy body charging and good luck..you are not far from your first ecstatic experience.

Try and focus outside your body.  I imagine I'm walking around looking and touching things in my room, if you can hold that, you will find yourself out.

The rope always made me tense, so I just started "feeling" myself floating out of my physical.  That is the way I'm doing it now, well..atleast the last few times.[:D]

As for getting out from paralysis, http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=11209 .

You will know when you are out of body.  You just will.  If that's not enought for ya, try looking down at yourself in bed, or go into another room and observe.  Then when you wake up you can go into that room and see if it is the same as when you OBEed.

As for what 'SoulScape' is, I found this: http://www.soulscape.co.nz .  It appears to be some sort of spiritual guidance program?  I didnt really look into it. An OBE is where your spirit (soul, astral self, conciousness, supermind, whatever) leaves the physical body.  I'm not sure what Soulscape has to do with this though.

Welcome to the forums btw. [;)]

Good luck [:)]
