Hi,

I would like to ask the members here on the board..if in their experience... some of their past life memories are experienced also as an OBE.

Let me explain....do you experience a floating sensation...going through a veil or tunnel of some sort? Traveling faster than the speed of light possibly?

Does anyone here experience looking down at a person below them that they KNOW to BE you? Does anyone experience Past Life memories to be similar to OBE experiences? Possibly merging with the body of who you were as a person in the past?

I am interested in hearing others stories and experiences where the phenomenon of OBE and Past life experience seem to meld together. Where soul and spirit travel out of the body coonsciously to another time and space.

This has happened several times for me..and I would like to hear others experiences.

Hmm...
I am not sure if I have experienced this or not, but an interesting question!

In my last regression, however, I had to pull out of it toward the end because I felt this overwhelming sensation of spinning around and around - like when I was in college and drank a bit too much and had the "bed spins". I am not sure what this means, but I sort of interpreted as time passing and feeling overwhelmed by the sense of time as well as by the multitude of feelings I was experiencing.

On a sidenote, I often have the feeling just before I fall asleep, of "falling" back into my body. It's kind wild! But I tend to have a somewhat violent jerk of my body as I come "slamming" back into it and it is not that fun!
 
Hi All

Yes, I’ve experienced some of my past live memories whilst in an OBE state, both in meditation and in the dreamstate…a few of which are probably scattered around this board. Many times in meditation, I’ve flown up in the bed after falling back into my physical shell, just after a past life experience, I have also experienced the floating sensation, the tunnelling and travelling so fast I can feel the wind in my “energy”…LOL

I recently had a pretty unique experience on World Healing Day, not past life and a bit off topic, but what the hell, I’m gonna share it anyway, and I did receive some past life info after the actual part I'm gonna type up here…LOL

I talked my brother (fairly sceptical, but open to reason) into trying his first ever meditation at the given time of the mass meditations happening all over the world. During my own experience, I went OBE and joined him in his room where he lay in a relaxed state (we live in separate houses). Whilst there I put my hand on his heart chakra and told him to quietly relax…before I left him to go my own adventures, I ran my hand down his right arm, in the hope he would remember it all.

Shortly after the meditation, my brother phoned me – he had a had a really relaxing and cool experience, he went slightly OBE and remembered floating around the room to a particular piece of music he had playing, whilst recieving imprints and flashes from his past - all his life memories, but none of his past lives that he can remember. He then went on to tell my that he had also felt something on his right arm during the meditation, almost like a little push or touch…I laughed and explained what I had seen and done, and he was shocked to say the least.

A bit stunned and in slight disbelief, he said, that if I was in his room with him during the meditation, then I could tell him what he was wearing. I explained that in my meditation, I has seen him in a navy blue t-shirt and some royal blue football shorts, but of course…the line went quiet, and when I asked him what he was wearing he answered – “navy blue t-shirt and some royal blue football shorts”…I had to giggle, I was pretty blown away by the whole thing myself…especially knowing I had left my brother thinking for a little while afterwards.

I look forward to hearing about others experiences and I’ll get back here later with one actually connected to OBE’s AND Past Lives…(sorry)
 
Hi Annabelle,

Your experience sounds like a classic OBE or the beginnings of one. I am reading William Buhlman's new book regarding OBE's right now called The Secret of the Soul -- he makes reference to past life expriences and OBE experiences some times happening simultaneously.

He actually printed an OBE of mine on page 45-46 I sent him a few years ago..what a rush to see it in print

According to Buhlman Annabelle -OBE's are the way to experience past lives and MUCH MUCH More..your on your way!!!!

Kelly! What a great validation in your meditation, don' you just love it?? LOLOL

Buhlman says you can instantly BE THERE without doing the flying routine..you and I have both shared this..so...what about past lives..there seems to be a slight difference in the experience...the merging with ones self -- to be in another TIME and Space.

FOR ME discerning that the life time is my own..is to experience ALL the feelings and emotions that are occuring to me in that moment. It is not a third person perspective. To just "see" another is to be there with them, but not necessarily be them.

I wait in anticipation for your story Kelly..and anyone elses.

Deb,
I know what you are expierencing. Regression is partly influenced by a form of spiritual travel called astral projection. Astral projection is where your spirit(deliberately or not) steps out of your body and begins a "floating" "flying" sensation to various energy particles that are most like your spirit energy. I have expierenced astral projection, both unkowingly in dreams, and deliberately in a knowing manner. I am almost positive you are expierncing a sort of astral projection. It was astral projection that led to my finding out who I was in the first place. (Okay, I'm starting to scare myself.) Sincerely,Kelainaangel
 
Hi,
Though I've not had a conscious OBE, when I've accessed a specific past life through my dream state, I always feel at the beginning of it as though I've been -- and forgive the crudeness of it but this is best I can describe it -- sucked into the body of the person I look upon and then always at the end of this particular past life, as I am about to die, I feel myself pull back out and away from the body and watch the event happening as I'm pulling farther back away. These sensations are always rapid and although I cannot quite describe a tunnel, I can say that it always looks as though there is some sort of boundary surrounding the event, growing larger around the event until I see the event no longer and the dream ends, at which point I've either awoken or gone into another regular-fantasy-ate-too-much-pizza-before-bed type dream.
Blessings to You and Yours,

Dear Deborah,

I have been thinking about your question - it's a good one. The problem I am having is in how to define the term OBE. For example I often have some of the symptoms associated with OBEs. I merge with other bodies easily, I see other bodies easily, I consciously travel to other times and places easily, I certainly pierce the veils all the time. But I never call my experience OBEs, because I don't leave my body. I just expand my consciousness out of the bounds of normal waking consciousness into what I call soul consciousness. I move back and forth from one state of consciousness to another almost instantly.

Anyway, I guess the point I am trying to make is that the many gradations and various qualities that make up the OBE experience. I've probbaly had only couple "classic" OBEs in my life, yet I certainly know how to easily get to that same state of consciousness.

One experience I have frequently is that of entering other bodies. I do this for myself and for clients all the time (in past life healings and in current life healings). It is fascinating to experience what another body is experiencing - sometimes a bit scary when the trauma is intense. However, I don't do it by leaving my body. I do it by allowing my body to be a surrogate for the other body, so I can actually experience some of what that body was experiencing. In this way I do much more than just watch what happened to that body. So, I guess there are many pathways to these kinds of experiences!

Blessings,

Bob
 
Hiya peoples --

The term astral comes from a Greek word meaning "related to a star" and originally described the abodes of the Greek Gods. Just thought I would throw that in the mix.

Tis true Bob - we do frame our nonphysical adventures and contact based on our individual mindset. We are also naturally attracted to the energy that is important for our spiritual development. This energy signature can draw us while in an OBE to unresolved past events that are exerting an influence on our current state of consciousness. ALL energy seeks balance.

What you describe Phoenix is a great observation regarding the visual perspections during nonlocal -nonphysical events. Many people describe the various energy barriers or veils between the physical and nonphysical dimensions.

Some people describe the layers of energy as color -- Buhlman suggests that it is our minds interpretation of the various energy levels or the many dimensions of the universe.

Maybe later today I will post one of mine...gotta run right now.

Hiya people,

I had an interesting experience just two days ago that fits into this catagory real well! It was -- I believe an OBE experience that dove tailed into a past life. I have a lot of memories of being a white man who lived with the Indians in the late 1700's until 1838.

It started with (and I'll make this part short) with myself in a rocking chair dreaming of a spirit that was rocking the chair, and then I began to spinn...very fast. A lot of my OBE's start with a rocking motion.

Suddenly I was aware of myself..my ethereal body...and then holographically --through my light body you could say..I shape shifted into a man! I was at an US Army base talking to the man in charge. My Indian brother was not far away..hiding along the tree line.

The Army men thought I was a trapper..although I was dressed like an Indian..and had lived with them since I was ten years old (taken during a raid) I spoke very good English too. I was distracting them with something they would consider to be magic.

My purpose for being there was to delay their movement..they were to dispatch to a near by location where I knew the Indians were going to attack a small band of armed forces. After I had distracted them as long as possible..my Indian brother and I went to a hill top not too far away..watching as the Indians rushed in below --killing all the men in the small army and then leaving...we could also see the larger forces moving in...but they were too late and the Indians would be long gone by the time they arrived.

I could see and hear a railroad train as it sped by in the distance. I looked at my Indian brother..fully dressed in deerskin clothing, his facial features were so clear..his beads..his essence!!!! We both smiled --we had been successful!

I looked down at my own body..also fully dressed in deerskin - beads etc...then holographically my body began to shift back into being female...to being me now.
Click to expand...
It was a great feeling..being aware of myself as both individuals..male and female. The experience included all the vibrational...energy shifts of an OBE...the visions of the time were filled with emotion.

Anyway..that's my latest..

Kelly??? I am still waiting!!! LOLOL Don't work too hard!

Hi Deborah…LOL

Seems like I forgot to come back. But I’m here now, and I found an OBE experience, that happened around six months ago, during a meditation, so I thought I’d copy it up and share.

When I first started relaxing, I noticed a bright purple light, it started moving towards me then seemed to encircle me, I felt a brilliant sense of warmth and tingled all over, it continued encircling me and moving in front of my eyes and I began reaching out with my heart centre….. I suddenly become very light and I could feel the weight of my body beneath me a few inches on the bed.

This is when I experienced the tunnelling effect, a bright light seemed to move fast in front of me, outside of it’s brightness I saw the colours of the spectrum broken up on it’s outside edges, I felt the light pulling me through some kind of shift and caught fleeting images of many landscapes and ages….the main one I remember is the sea, I saw a vast expanse of it stretch out in front of me and for some reason felt I was in the 15th/16th century, although there was no real evidence, other than the landscape - it known to me.

Next I found myself kneeling at a small expanse of water - possibly a lake or a river – the water was muddy and cloudy and the tree’s all around the bank cast dark shadows all around me – I looked deeper into the water and saw a reflection of a young woman, she was dressed in white, with dark hair held only by a gold headband encircling her forehead – I recognised myself - I stared into my eyes and saw a glint of light flash over them, then the water and all around brightened incredibly and I tunnelled again.
Click to expand...

Like in your dream, the OBE took me into the body of a past self and I was able to loo through her eyes and take in the full features of my face reflected in the water…I also remember feeling the gentle breeze from the water and hot sun bearing down on me..a very tranquil scene all in all.

The tunnelling continued throughout the meditation, throwing me into loads of quick glimpses of other lifetimes and landscapes – it was like flicking through the pages of a book and pausing every now and again to read a line or two, then continuing with the flicking again…LOL
 
I had an experience but it wasn't past. It was in the "now". I had never been to visit my mother. She lived in Canada and I was missing her. I had lost my infant daughter and needed my mother to be near me. I was in bed getting ready to sleep and I was awake. I could invision this room that I thought was my mothers apartment. I was high up in the room like I was floating just below the ceiling. I could see everything in this apartment.

The next day I sent this letter off to my mom discribing this room and tell her about where things were located and the placement of things and items in the room in comparison to other items. When I got the return letter, it wasn't her apartment but her office in the building where she worked.

It was an old apartment building that had been converted into a monisterri(?) and that is why there was a kitchen in it and several different rooms that she didn't really use other than to store some things, I have not had one since unless it was me that went in the form of a grizzly bear to warn my brother-in-law not to name his daughter that was due to be born the name of my daughter that passed some 12 years earlier.. I was upset when I saw this grizzily bear appear and could hear the words " I am hear and will take care of it" and she swiped her paw 3 times and then I guess I fell asleep( I was awake when this happened).

It was so real I told my husband about it and when we asked my brother in law if he had any dreams about animals receantly he said it was funny we should ask, he normally doesn't remember dreams but several nights prior he had this dream that he was being chased by this bear, he was affaraid that she was going to eat him- I thought it was strange that he said she- and that when he woke up, him and his wife had a talk and thought they should name their baby something else that he didn't feel comfortable about calling their baby Jacque.

We all had hairs standing up at that point and then we realated my dream to him. I had been born native and feel a very strong connection to animals and have seen alot in my dreams, I started to keep a journal so I can sift through the "intertaining'" dreams with the infomational one. That seems to work really well for me, but that has been the only two times I can think my experience may relate to your questions
 
I did recently, using the OM cd. While the OBE only lasted a few seconds, almost like the opening of a movie, it was an amazing experience. What's even more amazing is that the cd worked at all, since my hearing has degraded so much recently. Hopefully I will get my ears flushed Thursday, so I'll be able to hear the cd in my right ear. You can read my story here Meet Me In St. Louis .

Most of my pl dreams and experiences are a result of OBE.
In few of my dreams I watched myself from a bird height and sometimes landed into my pl body from there.

Once I had a pl experience and right after I found myself walking around the house with my astral body.

As a child I had ‘black outs’ (that is just the name I gave it) all the time, few times a day even, it always caught me while I was doing something quiet by myself, all I remember was moving fast through space and than coming back with a sensation around my nose. It was a complete mystery for years till recently.
I noticed when I have an OBE in which I travel to a different time and place I get that same sensation in my nose, it’s more like a vibration.
Ones I was at the dark ‘Tunnel’ and ones I was moving fast through space just like when I was a child. In all of those experiences I am able to get a pl picture, it seems like I have a lot of control over it if I want to.

When I was about 11 years old my ‘black outs’ stopped, now I know they are an OBE. When I was 13 my OBEs started in which I usually ended up in my room (very limited) and usually didn’t travel to someplace else.
Now my OBE stopped pretty much and I am experiencing more of the ‘black outs’ type OBE (the once with the nose sensation), I found those to be very good PL travel, I have more control in them. Somehow they both are completely connected . Once I let my regular OBEs to carry me away because I usually always forced my body to wake up right when I found myself in that state, when I let the OBE carry me away I ended up in the ‘Black out’ type OBE, maybe it is just a more progressed stage.

There is much more, but that’s all for now.
 
HI John,

I was told once - that the CD is also about vibration and that the vibrations are felt within the body. It's not just a hearing thing. ;) Awesome that you had such an experience :)

Interesting Spring, thank you for sharing. :)

Can you tell us about this experience? What was the past life? What happened after you merged with your PL self?

I'm sure you're right about the vibrations being felt within the body. I'm still using the cd, but haven't gotten much more, other than relaxation and better, more restful sleep. So even if I never receive more memories, I plan on using the cd on a regular basis. From what I'm learning from The Holographic Universe, I'm really looking forward to more adventures.

For your question Debora, one experience I posted before. I will add it Shortly:
I approached a big room from a bird height. I noticed a big glass window in the end of the room and few soldiers laying on their stomachs pointing guns in the direction of that big window, they were hiding waiting for the enemy.
I got closer to them and knew those soldiers were my current 2 best friends even though they were males. Right then I became part of the action, I was down there hiding and being part of it all.

I had another dream of this kind couple of nights ago in which I viewed a couple dipping in the water, I didn’t know them but something was ‘calling me’, the next moment I was them, part of the scene.

I notice many times when I became part of the scene I don’t really ‘feel’ or see myself, more like I am able to observe and be part of the emotions, relive the trauma. I am also able to know who is the person with me from my current life, even if they look different.
There is some kind of separation still, I am not there again, just reliving it. It’s like right when I become part of the scene a really bad event happens.
In my last dream I was able to experience the death part, the physical pain and my last thoughts before I died. Also the being dead part, but that is a different story.

this is one of many ways I experiences pl.
 
I've had 2 astral projections to the other side. Both with a man that I knew when I was younger... I'm going to type this out, not sure how long it's going to be.

I met Dave when I was 10. He was my neighbor's best friend, and 4 years older. I had a crush on him all growing up. When he was 18 and I was 14, he left to go into the Navy. When I was about 15-16 he came back. His dad had died and he was discharged from the Navy. Well for the next few years we had dated off and on. We just had this connection that was strange. Then when I was 17 we "consumated" our relationship and it was over for both of us. It was like a finalization. We only saw each other one time after that and it was as if there was nothing between us. It was very weird. Like all of that history and time we had spent over all the years was erased.

So fast forward 9 years. I married, had children... Married to another man named Dave. Who looks so much like him. Same build, hair, skin tone, military... so much alike!! Anyway, so my husband and I are in McDonald's one morning, I open the paper and see that Dave (old flame) had died. I almost cried!! My husband was overcome with jealousy for some strange reason. He never met Dave. A couple of days later I went to the funeral by myself. Everyone seemed to know who I was. Even the current girlfriend knew who I was.

His death crushed me and I'm not sure why. Since my husband was so NOT understanding I had many days of crying and him not knowing about it. A few days after the funeral in my dream I had an astral projection to the other side. We were standing under a tree in this beautiful park. It was truly the most beautiful place. So peaceful. The sky was like an orangy color with other pastels in it. The tree was like something out of Savannah, Georgia. So anyway, we were in the park and I said, "I'm really here!" He was like, "I know." And I kept correcting him. Then I was floating thinking being there was so cool! Then we started talking and I asked him what had happened, I thought we were supposed to get married. He said something about him wanting to marry me, but he had to leave.

He was 30 when he died. He died of drinking and driving. He hit a tree and died instantly.

I had another Astral Projection about 2 years ago. It was another visit with him. He was just checking on me to see if I was ok.

One of the strange things is when I talk about him I cry. It's like I miss him, but don't know why. And my husband feels jealous, but he doesn't know why either.

I'm thinking this must've been some sort of love triangle in the past. It's funny though because my husband Dave and the other Dave are so similar. Maybe they were twins in a past life! LOL
 
I did pretty recently. The first time it began happening, I wigged out a bit because I could "feel" the separation and I couldn't "relax" and go with it. However, the second time it happened, I was able to ask questions and get answers and saw things happening below me. I haven't been able to "make" it happen, though. It's like everything has to be *just* right - - perfectly aligned. I'm sure that with time and experience, I'll be able to control it better.
 
Interesting thread!


My first PL experience about 25 years ago was some like that.


I was lying in the bed, training self-hypnosis for regression as usual and after a few minutes I knew that it will work. Immediately my body was spinned around, 3 times, with a short stop every round in the headposition of the bed and I was carried in a former incarnation- it was like jumping in another dimension. All the time I was aware that my material body was lying in my bed. I saw myself standing on a meadow, surrounded by men and saw at the same time my former name written in flamed letters so that I could read it several times. My observing position was some meters over the people. I heard the men intoning my former name and knew that this name wasn´t allowed to be spoken, that something horrible would happen and that a catholic or christian prayer must be spoken instead. Hearing my name and beeing unable to stop its pronouncing stampedes me so that I returned in my body, but my fear came with me. I tried to speak a prayer but I couldn´t say a word for I was completely paralyzed. After some time I was able to babble some words and it was over. I never have had such a fear before and after that experience.


Some years later I had several unexpected OBEs, connected with PL, in all it started immediately. I haven´t seen tunnels or something like that, I was suddendly there or out of time.


Once I was levitating over a line with year dates, aware that time doesn´t exist, to my right was nowadays, in the left direction I saw 1300 and entered the line there. Suddendly trees appeared out of the line, as if a sketch became alive, became larger and larger and three-dimensional. I was so deeply touched of the trees and wondered "I never have suspected such trees in 1300". In this moment I realized scared what I was doing and splashed down in my body.


Coming back in the body felt sometimes like beeing drawn with an extra strong rubber band.


Once I noticed that I was coming trough the wall and entering my sleeping body through the back of the neck.


I have experienced different states of OBE, in the highest level my consciousness was so enlarged, clear and calm that coming back in my body felt like locked up with 0,0000001 percent of ones real abilitys in a infinitesimally and terribly dull and dump prison.


I had some PLdreams in which I merged in my observed "me" , then in the opponent (always the opposite gender of the first merged person) each time with the feeling of the person.
 
Perhaps there are new members with experiences they would like to share or have some thoughts on this subject? If so -I would love to hear all about it! I am sure others would too.
 
For me a lot of the memories came in what was more like time slips then obes, although sometimes when I 'came back to this time' I had the buzzing that is associated with obes.


When this happened I could remember the weather and temperature, how I felt physically and emotionally, what I was thinking, and etc. It was very, very real.

Click to expand...
Absolutely. ;) I've experienced pl memories this way and it's a vivid and highly detailed experience. When I first started posting on the forum, I shared my memories of a past life as a little girl named Jessica. She was struck and killed by a car while running across the street - and I viewed the accident scene both from above, and from within. At one point it was as if I was seeing my own awareness reflected - before I "slipped" into the body of the child on the ground.


I'm curious if anyone else has something to add?

I am interested in hearing others stories and experiences where the phenomenon of OBE and Past life experience seem to meld together. Where soul and spirit travel out of the body consciously to another time and space.


This has happened several times for me..and I would like to hear others experiences.
Click to expand...
Yes, that has happened to me. It has made me wonder about whether those experiences are memories or if they are actually being there.


It has always been the same experience in different lifetimes. I am standing next to or hovering over the body and observing it - watching it closely, listening and just noticing the surroundings. Then I am aware of being that person, thinking the thoughts that they were thinking, saying the words that they were saying, seeing through their eyes, hearing through their ears, feeling the environment they are in. I am unmistakably that person. It lasts for only a brief time and I am jolted out of the meditative state that I was in. It happens unexpectedly and rarely.


Makes me wonder about the soul experiencing the simultaneous incarnations thing. I would like to explore it further but I need to have a calm mind and quiet atmosphere to empty my mind of worldly cares.
