Just Wonderin'

[Eol007]

Hi Jaclyn,

1st time I remembered having an OBE I was 4 or 5 yrs of age.

On these forums there has been quite a debate on the use of both natural and synthetic drugs as OBE inducers (use the search facility above for examples of threads). With respect to personal use as it were - I have been there (before anyone says there is some sort of religious clampdown here), and had more than a few lessons learnt!

Personally I do not recommend drugs and certainly not pain killers for the purpose of assisting or inducing OBEs. I had a pain management issue a few years ago and had to take moderate/strong analgesic pain killers for nearly a year - they had no positive impact on my ability to OBE, and I found them somewhat de-stabilising in terms of impact on the physical and energetic bodies to be honest.

Stick with a natural and healthy regime of practice, maintain a respect for your mind/body/spirit and you should have a wealth of success with OBEs in good time.

Kind wishes,


Stephen

Hi Jaclyn

I had my first OBE when I was 35, however I believe I'd had them as a child, but wasn't aware of what they were.  I used to fly around a lot in my "dreams".

I agree with Stephen regarding drugs.  There possibly is a case where drinking a small amount of alcohol could help you relax easier, but in my experience, a completely clear head is the best state for projection.

I've had regular OBEs since my first one (I'm now 36).  I still really don't know how I do it, they tend to occur just as I am waking up from a nap.  

My aim is to have conscious OBEs and I have just started meditation, which is wonderful in itself.

Good luck!

I was just wondering, for the people who have natural OBE's, around how old were you when they first started happening?

Also, i was wondering if maybe taking pain killers (that make u slightly drowsy) or muscle relaxers might help one get in the state where they're able to have an OBE?
