Hi all.
I wanted to recount my general OBE experience, because it has a reoccuring theme to it. Ive dubbed it "Houses of the Soul" mainly because this was something that stuck in my head everytime i would come to from an OBE.

First I want everyone to know that I consider myself a intermediate level projector. Its easy for me to project consciously and stay OBE, but I have issues with interpreting the experience and usually stay out of any kind of contact with people I meet in OBE. Something tells me that its time for that to change. I want to take an active role in my OBE, rather than just the 3rd person perspective. I want to help people in need of help, and I want to be able to communicate without the fear repercussions (my main reason for keeping out of contact with those i see).

So lets get to it....heres my usual event.....

After running my energy circuit and storing up some reserves, I slip right out of body. I proceed to the closest window and exit my house. Now what stands in front of me is dependant on where my physical is, meaning the outside of the house and neighborhood is usually the same. Then I stroll down the street looking for a house to enter. At this point, the similarities of the actual neighborhood and where I am OBE at stop.
Then I pick a house to enter, go up to the front door. I knock. Sometimes people will answer the door, other times not. Depends on the house im guessing. If someone answers the door, I usually ask to enter and have never been denied entry that I can remember. If no one answers I try to open the door and have a look around.
If i have entered the house at this point, I tend to become the observer (and oh the things ive seen....). I will look around the house, listening and watching. Sometimes, when I have let myself i will run into someone and try to explain myself (with varied results).  Usually, after I feel I have seen all to be seen, I will exit the house and continue down the street.

There have been three houses that I have returned to multiple times because the folks I have met there asked me to. These three are the only times I find I have engaged in a conversation with the people I had met.  In each case, they seem lonely and glad to have someone to talk to.

So, I ask you guys to think about this and respond with the direction you think I might take to become more a active participant in dealing with the people I meet in OBE.

thanks!

When I was 14, I attended a Oujia board session of a small group (all of whom i trust) and was told by their contact spirit that if I meditated enough, I would be able to channel his spirit.
This spirit (called No Name due to the fact he wanted no associations with names) told me things about myself that noone in the group woould have known. He spoke thru the board in French, and I was the only person who knew french in the room. No Name told us that we were associates in a past life, doctors during the Greek era, who had become close.
15 years later I find myself looking re-establish contact with No Name, but would never use the board by myself, as most of my spirit work is done alone.
Please advise! Thanks!

Ok, theres alot of story here at the beginning that im gonna glaze over for brevity sakes.
-Sleep paralysis at 13
-Brother passed away 23
-Chronic Depression set in
-Fear of sleep paralysis disappated with depression
-Realized i could move during paralysis, and it was actually spontanious OBE
-Researched, found out it happened to others, found "Astral Dynamics"

So I started doing my energy circuit everyday, twice a day. I knew something was brewing, I could feel my body awaken when I started the exercises. I could reach the point where fingers or an arm or leg would slip from my body, and this SO excitied me I would lose concentration and either fall asleep or get up.
So one night, I half-heartedly started my energy circuit in bed.  I was so interested in it that running my circuit became something i did to pass time, like twiddling my thumbs. But then something happened. I felt a presence and small touch or kiss over my third eye. I immediatley knew it was my brother who had come to see me.
When he died, it was sudden and I never had the chance to say goodbye. It was something that teared me apart since the day he passed. And now here he was....
"Come out and play," he suggested. I began to see him in my minds eye, standing right next to my bed. I knew he had known what I was up to, but that I could only slip out an arm or leg.
"You know," i spoke to him only as brothers can, " instead of standing there, you could give me a hand."
He nodded and proceeded to grab my big toe and pull me out of body. There i was hanging upside down while he held me by my big toe! We had a great laugh about this, and embraced with a ferocity that I will never forget. Everything I had been feeling and wanted to tell him but couldnt for that past year and a half was conveyed through that embrace. We didnt need to speak, it was a communication that was instant and timeless .
We talked of many things that night, mostly of my feelings and how i was to move on without my life without my best friend and older brother.  All good things must come to an end and so they did. I awoke from that projection feeling incredible. Its like the weight was lifted, and yet I still felt sore from where the weight was working on me, but I knew that soreness would pass and make me stronger.
Since then I have had many projecting adventures and met many people along the road, but Ill never ever forget what that first journey provided me. A chance to say goodbye.

Hi everyone. my name is Kelly and im from florida, US.
a brief history of OBE for me.....

Started having sleep paralysis around 13 yrs old.  It was a deep source of fear and frustration for me, made me afraid to sleep. It wasnt until I was 23 that i finally shed the fear and confronted it. That first night, I walked through a closed door and completely was entranced from that point on. I began to research these occurances and after learning that my grandfather and father both had sleep paralysis, but never did anything about it, i stumbled upon "Astral Dynamics" by Robert Bruce. If any book can change a life, this was the one for me. I became a new man, free of fear and new horizons on the outlook. Soon after (about 3-4 months of daily practice) i was able to achieve my first conscious projection, and what a doozy!
I projected every day for almost a year and a half, then I just stopped. I continued to meditate, but OBE was just too taxing at the time. My life had become very busy at work and I think this had alot to do with it. I had moved my energy reserves onto something else.
Now i find myself back at the beginning. Im free from the daily grind of the office and need some spiritual re-awakening. So ive come back to these forums to offer advice and learn something new.
Cheers!
