First of all, sorry for my english, I’m French-speaking so let me know if some parts of my text is not understandable.
I’d like to introduce my OBE report by saying that I’ve been experiencing some curious phenomenons before. The first time took place 2 months ago, I was falling in sleep when I made a frightening nightmare (with a goolish child ghost, they are the worst) and then woke up suddenly and found me unable to move. I felt some kind of pressure on my body, and heard strange sounds. At this time I ignore everything about hypnopompia or sleep paralysis, so I was rather afraid and wondering what was going on. Moreover, I was feeling like a burning and bursting flash of energy growing in my chest, which I could control the intensity, and was amazed but frightened by its potential power I guessed, so I never let it go to the maximum.
The second time, 3 weeks after the first one, I was again feeling in sleep and got sleep paralysis and this energy feeling coming back again. But this time I knew that feeling so I let it come and play a bit with it. Again, I thought the energy was potentially too strong for me, so I did not let it go to maximum power. This time, the experience was uplifting and I woke up enthusiastic, very excited by what had happened to me, feeling strong and confident. I looked up on the Internet and found a lot about Kundalini rising, which was very close to what I felt.
Still, nothing happened for a month after that second time, until yesterday which was the most powerful experience I’ve been through for now.
I was having a nap, which is kinf of normal on a sunday afternoon ! After an hour sleeping, I woke up but not entirely, I feel that I’m paralysed and this enery feeling that I can’t push back and forth in my body ; until now I know the map. Then I have the idea to try to get out of my body, to check if it works. I concentrate hard, closed eyes, and feel that I begin to push on my arms to sit on my bed. I open my eyes and see that I’m actually still lying on my bed. It’s both fascinating and scarying.
Although my eyes are still open, my sens of touch informs me that I’m still on my arms ready to sit completely, so I close my eyes again and sit, feeling my whole body moving. I open my eyes again : OMG, I’m still lying on my bed !!! That’s too much !!! So I close my eyes again, turn my head to the point where I guess I’m still lying, and open my eyes again : I then have the very strange sensation that I’m looking at myself in the eyes, which is very weird, so I turn my head.
At this point I begin to think that the experience is a bit too weird and to feel slightly frightened, I decided that it’s all for today, that I want to go back in my body. So I close my eyes, I lie down to get back to my “real body” initial position. I open my eyes, move to stand up and… damn… I feel I’m standing up, but my sight is not moving at all, I’m still out of my body. I begin to panick a bit, I think “stop, no more”, but my body still does not want to move, I’m stuck and every move I make is taking place in my “astral body” (don’t know how to call it), not in my “real body”. The strangest part is that I’m feeling every move I do, I feel my bed under my hands and arms, I feel my whole body moving, but my open eyes just give the information of my lying immobilized body.
I’m very scared now : I start to move frenetically my arms, clap my hands : I still feel my arms moving, I feel my hands beating one against the other, I even hear the noise of my hands clapping together, but what I see is still my lying and not moving body. I start to scratch my ear with a finger, I feel it and hear the noise in my ear, but my eyes are formal : my body is still not moving and my arms remains in my field of vision. Weird(er) fact : by moving my “astral” hands in front of my eyes, I begin to see pink streaks; like I’m experiencing a quantic phenomenon : in one reality I’m paralyzed and not moving, in another reality I’m moving my hands, and both are superimposing.
Finally, I think about a technique to get out of this trap : I close my eyes, feel deeply my body lying on the bed, and count back from 10 to zero, thinking "when you reach zero, open your eyes and you will be able to move. The first time I try this is a failure, and I’m frankly panicking now : am I dead ? Will I stay in this state for ever ? I start it all over again, from ten to zero… then I start to feel and to SEE my hands moving, then my arms. Fastly I’m able to move my whole body again. What a relief !!
Later, I’m still under the shock of the experience. It’s been interesting and I’m very curious so it’s been also fun after all, but I don’t know how it happens nor why it happens. Next time I’d like to go deeper on my experiments, like standing up and walking away to see how far I can go, but I’m still afrad that I could not get back to my body so I think I will reinforce my reinstatement technique first.
I’d like to get your feedbacks and advices about what happened to me yesterday, as I’m not familiar with these OBE experiences. Is it normal ? Is it close to what one feels on a OBE experience ? Am I taking a risk anywhere ?
Thanks for all.
