Out-of-Body Experience… Have You Had One?

William Buhlman

 Internal vibrations and sounds are often the early indications of an approaching out-of-body experience. I refer to the inner sounds and vibrations as the “vibrational state.” These vibrations are commonly reported to begin at the head, neck and stomach area and spread throughout the entire body. They are often accompanied by numbness, paralysis and noises such as a buzzing, humming or roaring sound.

According to an extensive national out-of-body survey conducted by Dr. Steward Twemlow in 1979, fifty-five percent of the three hundred and thirty-nine participants reported “a sense of energy” during their out-of-body experience. In addition, fifty percent stated they felt the vibrations in their body and thirty-eight percent heard noises in the early stages of their experience. According to the survey, the most commonly reported noises were buzzing (29%), roaring (19%) and music or singing (16%).

In the beginning it’s helpful to notice any internal/inner signals you may experience during sleep, dreams, and as you are awakening. Pay close attention to any unusual vibratory feelings or sounds even if they are subtle. Many people routinely experience vibration sensations and sounds, but disregard them as dream-related or as unexplained physical phenomena.

Your recognition and response to these sensations and sounds will, many times, determine how successful your separation process becomes. Some people are so startled by the sensations and sounds they think of their physical body and this causes an instant return to the physical.

Your positive reaction to your personal vibrational signals will assist you to take advantage of every opportunity to separate from your physical body and experience the ultimate adventure. The more knowledgeable and prepared you are about the initial sensations and sounds associated with out-of-body exploration, the more success you are likely to achieve. Recognition and response to the vibrational state is an important step in preparation. The following is presented to help you recognize internal sensations and sounds associated with the initial phases of an out-of-body experience.

Common Vibrational Signals

• Buzzing, humming or roaring sounds.

• Unusual tingling or energy sensations.

• Weightlessness or spreading lightness.

• Any internal vibrations out of the norm.

• Electrical-like sense of energy.

• Footsteps or other sounds of a person’s presence.

• Internal rocking, spinning, or movement of any kind.

• Arms or legs lifting while asleep

• Surge of energy flowing through your body.

• Any noise out of the norm, wind, engine, music, bells etc.

Sound Frequency Techniques

The use of sound to induce altered states of consciousness and out-of-body experiences is an ancient practice dating back thousands of years. The Tibetan monks are famous for their use of chants, chimes and bells to enhance their meditative states. In the last two decades the benefits of chanting and mantras have become a well-established part of meditation classes. The repetition of certain sounds is widely known and accepted as an effective method to enhance and improve an individual’s focus of attention.

Even though sound frequency techniques are relatively new, with continuing research and development, this revolutionary form of out-of-body induction will become commonplace. To introduce you to sound frequency techniques enclosed is an ancient technique used for centuries by Tibetan monks. This is one of the oldest recorded out-of-body techniques, dating back a thousand years before the birth of Christ.

OM Technique

1.Take several deep breaths and completely relax. Become comfortable in your designated out-of-body area. Close your eyes and begin to focus your attention just above the crown of your head. Concentrate all your awareness above your head until the sensations of your body begin to disappear.

2. As your physical sensations begin to fade, softly intone the sound OM seven times. Let the sound resonate through the top of your head.

3. Repeat the OM sound in your mind seven times. Be completely aware of the sound resonating in your mind. Let the sound rise through the top of your head.

4. Focus all of your attention on the very core of the resonance and allow the sound to slowly ascend toward the ceiling. Feel your awareness merging with the sound. As much as possible, surrender and become one with the rising sound as your body becomes increasingly relaxed.

5. Feel your awareness rising with the sound. Become one with the OM resonance. Enjoy the sound and flow with it. Feel yourself become lighter and lighter as you float with the sound. Allow your physical body to rest and sleep as you focus all your attention on the rising sound. Maintain all your attention on the rising sound as your body falls to sleep. As you begin to fall asleep concentrate all your awareness on the rising sound.

For many, the key to out-of-body exploration is to focus and maintain your complete attention away from your physical body as you drift to sleep. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is to focus your attention upon a person, place, or object located some distance from you. This can be a loved one from which you are separated, your favorite vacation spot, or a gift that holds some special meaning for you. Whatever you select should be an actual physical object you know, not an imaginary place or person. Select the object or place that is easiest to visualize and holds the most interest for you.

Visualizing a loved one you are separated from can be effective. Just picture the person you wish to be with as vividly as possible. It helps to be emotionally involved, so select a person you would love to be with. Choose someone you know, not a fantasy relationship. Become completely absorbed in their presence and actually feel yourself with this person. If you like, role-play some kind of interaction to keep you involved.

Continue your visualization of this person for as long as possible as you allow your physical body to completely relax and fall to sleep. It’s important to maintain a detailed picture of this person and your interaction as you go to sleep. As you doze off, attempt to boost your emotional and visual connection with this person as much as possible.

This method is excellent bedtime visualization. Keep in mind, the more emotionally involved you are, the more effective this technique is. Have fun with it and let your imagination go wild.
