I read some of the above article before i posted it here, but now i read all of it, and somewhere in the article it describes the most common 6 phenomenonas, and one of them describes my last night experience which was a close experience to coming out conciously, i will write the excerpt below:
176.05. Covers. The unhealthy habit of people who sleep covering their heads with sheets, which diminishes their capacity of oxygen intake and increases the volume of carbon dioxide in the air surrounding their face and nostrils, can produce, in certain cases, the lucid out-of-body experience.
I sleep with covers ontop of me when i am scared for some reason, and that’s not very often, but i never knew when i was young that it can be harmful, so i use to sleep under the covers for many years but now my head sleeps above the cover. I only sleep under the cover when i am trying a concious out of body experience and the reason for this is because in the first 30 seconds of switching the lights out and getting in bed under the cover, i straight away have astral vision. I believe it’s one sensation of the lack of oxygen, and because i am very unfit.
International academy of conciousness…it sounds nice beautiful even but anyone can create or choose such a name, it means nothing!
Breathing is used for ages to induce all kinds of trance, that isnt right away leading to a obe. Ppl have the same and stronger effect with nitrogenmonooxide also called laughing gass. That can give a real obe because it can give a nde.
For me it seems they just show an old way to induce a trance stage. I have no idea how healthy or unhealthy it is.
But in this case because of there name combined with the fact they also give courses it could just be another money spinner.
I have tried that method before… and like Jeff said… don’t be fooled.
I personally think it’s dangerous because you are basically depriving yourself from O2 and you get hallucinating effects from the 02 deprivation. It’s not a spiritual thing at all. It’s just an experience of your brain shutting down because you’re lacking 02. It is NOT worth the experience at all!
