First OBE and felt very forceful exit from body

[SaraHere]

I am new here but  I would like to tell of an experience I had... usually I have only had many experiences of what seems to be sleep paralysis over the last 10 yrs. I get the vibrations in my head as if I am laying next to a real noisy air conditioner. My body then seems to be in a paralyzed state for a few minutes and then all I can do is move my eyes. I cant scream or yell. Not sure if this really has anything to do with OBE but I finally decided to let myself go and allow to have what would ever happen

Now, I think I finally had an OBE a few weeks ago and this is what I can remember:

I was sleeping on my couch on my left side with my back towards the back side of the couch. I couldnt seem to fall asleep and I finally looked at the clock and the last time I remember seeing was 2am.. after the following experience I looked at the clock again and it said 3 am.. So this whole experience seemed to last about an hr.

I started to feel the vibrations like I have felt them in the past then all of a sudden it felt like I was either thrown from my body or shoved really harshly out of my body across the room right through the back of the couch. I landed on my butt with my back against the wall on the other side of the room. I didnt feel hurt or anything when I landed. It actually felt like I landed very softly which was odd because it was such a forceful exit out of my body.. It was dark and I couldnt really see anything, but I knew I was sitting on the floor.

It took me a moment to realize where I was and I could not see my actual physical body because it was on the other side of the couch ..after all these yrs. , this was the first time it actually felt like I left my body... so I was really in fear and decided I needed to get back to my body, only I could not see it. I kept saying in my mind and telling myself to  " Get back "  because I could not seem to speak the words only think them. It is the same technique I use to get myself out of that sleep paralysis state. Then all of a sudden I felt my body zooming very fast through what seemed like a long and very tight dark tunnel, I could see a very bright light at the end, but that is all I could see. then Boom I was suddenly back in my body.

So then I am laying there back in my body and I remember feeling happy and also that I was breathing very heavily as if I had just ran a mile and it feels like I am so exhausted..mindfully as well as physically.

is this what it is supposed to feel like>?
Why did it feel as if I was pushed or shoved out of my body?
Was there someone there that helped me out?

thanks all,
Sara

Personally I believe that "out of body Experiences" are actually telepathic visions in which you see through the eyes of a spiritual entity and sense what the spirit senses. This is why people sometimes can't control their dreams. I've had dreams of flying once and then had the feeling that some force was pulling me a certain way or keeping me from falling. I guess you could call it a Guardian Angel from God, but of course there are also bad entities out there that often feed off of your own fears.

Hope that helps

Hi Sarah,

It definitely sounds like you had an OBE and OBEs frequently occur during sleep paralysis. Yours is the first I've read about where someone was so forcefully removed. Why you were so forcefully removed I really can't say, but I do have a theory.

I believe that there are different layers in the Astral construct and some of the lower vibrational layers are where discarnate entities linger after they pass. You can usually tell the lower regions because of the telltale signs such as difficulty in obtaining vision, everything is dim and gloomy and there is a general feeling of fear and apprehension. It could have been that one of the discarnate entities may have perceived your vibrational level and decided to give you a helping hand separating from your body. There have been many documented cases where people have reported something helping them to separate, like a hand reaching out to grab them and pull them out. Maybe the entity who helped you separate was a body builder in his past life and didn't realize his own strength. 

Once out, your consciousness knew that it could not, or did not want to hang around in that dark and dreary place and decided it was time for "higher ground" and thus you experienced what most people that have a near death experience (NDE) experience, the flight to the light, towards a higher vibrational area.

So, take this for what it's worth. It will be interesting to read what others have to say.

thanks for answering all with your thoughts..

when you all mentioned telepathic visions and discarnate entities. I decided to look further into all this especially since I had not heard of the term discarnate entities till now. ( wow , a lot more stuff that seems to come along with all of this..seems much deeper than I expected)  anyhow, what I found was this and it scares me now
an excerpt:
""Trace/telepathic" hypotheses have also been proposed to explain the ghost experience. According to these hypotheses, images are somehow "imprinted" on a location—perhaps by a traumatic death or emotionally-loaded experience an individual had while still living. When conditions are right, the trace is replayed and/or received much like a movie or audio clip. Those sensitive to the lingering "telepathic charge" (as H.H. Price hypothesized) can receive and interpret the charge as a ghostly encounter."

after reading that, there is something I did not mention in my original post after I got back to my body and it gave me goosebumps just thinking of it. When I was rushed back to my body..I did feel my eyes to be open and myself to be aware of my surroundings..while looking in front of me in the dark.  What I saw was bizarre and did not want to mention here for fear people may think I was on some kind of drugs or something. What I saw while laying back in my body was what looked like to me as if someone was projecting to me as a movie like the excerpt I posted .first it was a large dinosaur running towards me, then a train rushing towards me, then something else that was big and just as fierceful, but cannot remember because I closed my eyes after that..but it seemed as if something or someone wanted me to exit my body again and was trying to project something upon me to do so.

Don't worry.  It doesn't sound like you are on drugs at all.  It sounds to me like part of the reason you were seeing things like a speeding train and such, had to do with you probably being very disoriented from first being flung across the room very fast, and then suddenly moving though a tunnel.  The mind will likely do some pretty crazy things to you when you are confussed and mentally exhausted.

in one of my earliest projections, I had the sensation that my whole body spun really fast lengthwise as if someone had given me a really fast spin - and the next thing I knew I was out of my body and on my hands and knees on the carpet on my wife's side of the bed.  Since then however, I've typically just rolled out of my body or sat up and stepped out.

So maybe there was just someone out there who noticed we needed a little help!
