OBE - Friday 30th or Sat 31st July morning circa 09:30am – 10:30am

I had been stopping over for a few days with friends and retired around between midnight and 1am in the evening. Awoke around 8am refreshed and pottered around for a while and did some reading etc! As no one else had arisen by about 9am I decided to attempt some OBE practice. To assist in prevent me from going to sleep I lay down with my head and shoulders raised by pillows. As there were no curtains in the room I used an eye pillow to cut out any ambient light and was positioned feet facing more or less to the West. I found that an old technique based on one of Douglas Baker's methods I had used in my teens had worked recently, and thought it might be worth trying it again on this occasion.

Basically it involved tensing and relaxing each part of the body in turn. This is complemented by breath awareness and followed by bringing one's awareness to each primary chakra from base to crown in turn. I tend to make one inhalation and exhalation per energy centre. After this I brought my attention to the brow and allowed the breath to fall to a natural rhythm. But feeling slightly sleepy I rolled initially onto my left side and then finally on to my right. This seems to add a deeper sense of physical relaxation and the focus on the brow helps me to retain concentration and awareness. The focus seemed to move to a position about 6 to 8 inches in front of the brow and as this occurred I seemed to perceive a semi opaque mist (sometimes this appears as an array of colour), although this time it seemed to be simply shades of grey. Again to prevent myself from falling asleep I deepened my breathing and simultaneously I slowly recited the 'Om' mantra mentally (I think this was in the Baker book). At this point the classic vibrations (medium in strength) started and I allowed myself to roll with them quite comfortably. Very shortly thereafter I found myself hanging in a horizontal position as if about 1 to 2 feet above my physical body and my perception of the room became clearer!

With realisation of having apparently made successful exit came a wonderful sense of exhilaration! I briefly looked around the room and noticed there was a level of reality distortion as the room looked Edwardian rather than contemporary, although as per waking reality there was a double door which led on to a patio. As this was a daytime OBE or LD it was interesting to notice that there appeared to be a raised level of light.

I then chose to see if I could move around in this environment and with that thought flew out the open door way. I appeared to move very rapidly about 500 yds from the building towards a large open field (the real house backed on to fields). Shortly thereafter I spotted a young man about a similar distance again ahead and below me at ground level. I projected towards him and felt as if I had landed gently on my feet about some ten or so yards away from, but landed right side on to his position. I then turned towards him and approached (as if on foot) cautiously as so not to disturb his space.

As I went up to face this individual I noticed that he appeared to be in his mid twenties, and had middling length, somewhat unkempt curly brown to dark straw coloured hair and similar beard (on the chin only). I moved forward and mentally sent out the idea of a warm greeting and offered a hand shake. To my delight and surprise (if he was a conscious entity I am sure he may well have been as surprised as me) he returned the gesture! As contact seemed to be made between hands my vision went blank and I became aware only of a melange of fuzzy colours. At the same instant I became acutely aware of strong energetic sensations between thumb and forefinger whilst the grip appeared to be maintained. After what seemed to be several long seconds this feeling ceased.

I became aware again of the field and some hay stacks nearby (modern regular type), but had somehow relocated about 10 – 20 yds away from where I had this encounter.  I was also aware of a building coming into view (can't remember details of its form), and other people being present (about 3 – 5 individuals) as if they about to meet for a small gathering. I then decided it was time to be off and was aware, (I was moving now above ground level) of more buildings. I found myself beside a small greyish tower block which had a series of overhanging balconies and appeared to be around 8-10 stories high. I decided to fly again and found myself floating upwards. By then my level of control was fading and consciousness becoming fuzzy. The sensation of vibrations came back and I allowed them to take hold and became aware that I was back in my physical body. The sensations faded as my body consciousness became more acute. As soon as I could I noted down on paper a potted version of this experience.

Cheers,
