Comments for Soul Leaving Body - What Does It Mean?: Page 1

I've had this happen many times to me when I'm in a trance/nearly asleep state.
It feels like a suction like a vacum cleaner, (very fast) my soul leaves my body and goes way up high, the energy is intense and then its like I spin around the room fast.
I go with it and I'm not scared, I'm very open minded and a spiritualist.
These goes on for about 30 seconds and then I go back down to my body with a strong force, like I've been dropped from a height.
It happened today when I meditated but I didn't spin around I just stayed up there in a purple glow then very gently floated back down, so peacefully, I'm sure if I ask spirit and the angels to show me something next time they will. Xx

I had this experience but it was awful experience... I felt like I was yanked out of my body me not doing it... Now I don't have none my sense s and I don't like it at all

I have had several paranormal experiences since I was a child and less frequently now since I'm in my early 30's.

A few months ago I was sleeping and my soul left my body and walked outside the house, across my house is a open field to which I walked to. I noticed my cats were following me all the way. Once in the field I saw my pet rooster who lives with my in-laws 150 miles away. The rooster sat on my lap and cuddled with me and said "thank you for everything but I need to leave now". The rooster left and I was scared. My cats told me it was time to go back to my body and the guided me back to the house where I went to my bedroom and returned to my body. A few days later I travelled to my in-laws and learnt my rooster friend had died. He came to say goodbye that night when we met.

When being a child I've had intens discussions with my grand father who passed away while a sleep, demons who visited me because they were dressed as my grandfather and scared me when they revealed themselves, my grandmother told me she passed through messing with electric appliances in my home and causing an electric blackout while neighbors did have electricity, while awake entities telling me things, sleep walking and running in circles in my bedroom and many more.

I'm happy things have calmed down now I'm older but it was very confusing and scary at times.

My Testimony This time it started in 2014 when I saw '11,11' everywhere and a Dove kept showing up outside on my balcony, At sankt johns day I felt an urgent feeling that I should pray so I did, then my soul suddenly popped out and was begging to come home, A voice behinde me said 'make happy immediately I became very joyful 'Then one night a angel woke me up telling me I had to meet the lord, I flew out of my body from my balcony and saw a shinning crystal stairway I was so amazed that I sat down on it for awhile and looked around, there was nothing else but the shinning stairs the stars in the sky and me, soon after I heard a voice say ' Sarah Come ' So I raise and continued to the top, there I saw two doors, I chose the one I could hear music from, now I was in space again when he (Jesus) came flying on my right side, we then went to Orions Nebula (Messier 42) https://youtu.be/tcQfeDsCosE where he opened up a black hole or a tunnel with somekind of spellword to the four stars on the Nebula, as we walked through it I looked at the 'walls' it was kind of flickering electric but still I had view to cosmos... As we approach I saw many glittering colors and music, he said that's inspiration too people on earth and that I soon will fall apart as we get closer but he will fix me again when we get there... Then I woke up on his lap as a kid in the New Jerusalem (a star *) (all stars are home for our souls *) I was growing up fast, my whole past away family was waiting on a little bridge in front of me, all of them was young again I asked my aunt 'Do you know who this is'? Her answer was 'Yes He is always here'! I had some alonetime with them and we went up in a old mill tower to talk. I remenber there was a big old closet behinde the door and the floor was of red tiles and a little round window in the small room on 1st floor, after awhile Jesus came to get me and he and I went outside in what looked like a courtyard with pillars Jesus and I sat on the the edge of an small fountain and he gave me gifts, toys I had as kid, he laugh highly when I was silly, at one point I pinched myself and felt it like I still had my body even though I knew I was out of my body, I looked up in the air there was no sun but still everything shined like a beautiful summerday. On somekind of cloudscreen he showed me my whole life and some of my future. The cloud somehow surrounded me and I was reliving a scene from my life but from another perspective, I saw myself eksemple playing with my brother and sister, when the scene was over the cloud left me and I was still sitting with jesus, and he showed me another scene from my life, at one point I was showen that he was the one that put my soul down in my body the day that I was born, I actuelly was in the hospital watching him kiss my forehead one second before I came to the world. When there my soul didn't care much for my body, I was still me but in my soul it ment much to please and obey him. He also showed me the many times he saved me in life, from car accidents among other stuff, like many of the times I prayed as kid, it felt like I was reliving all the scenes again, he then gave me some paperthin flesh like papyrus with his name on, written with blood that I had to eat. Before it did that I asked him if I could see his hands, he smiled and showed me them, I could clearly see that he once had huge old nailmarks in them. He then begain to teach me with words from the Testament and from the first page of the Bible but in some sort of code, words I had to heal with he said, and names and words was flashing fast on the screen, all the Desiples names and some letters, I said 'It is so simple that a child could make it' (It was sooo easy there) He then showed me the stonepillar Symeon Stylites use to seat on and something about the ANKH In the end he showed me myself as about 80 in a nursinghome and that he will come and get me the day that I die, he then gave me eternal life while he did that he draw something on the ground and said I should stop the daily temptations and stop saying hard words in anger then he hugged me and a big bright warm light surrounded us and we had go back to my body, on the way back we went close to saturn and walked on clouds... I been there two times now and everything he said came true (At the first experience I was sitting with Jesus looking out on a sunset and a beautiful wheatfield, behinde me there was a large tree with fruits I never seen before and a ladder in the middle of all, later he took me to a throneroom where I saw two chairs in one of them infront of me on my right hand I saw a old man looking exacly like GOD from Micheal Angelos painting of The Creation of sun and moon, behinde me on the wall I saw a big old wooden wheel with saphires between the spokes, I heard a loud voice said 'Bend' so I did and now Jesus was sitting in the other chair he told me that I had to save a girl from doing drugs, I met her and manage to convinced her, she is now working for the Governent... (everything above was going on telepathically) . I also been filled with the Holy Spirit twice, the last time it lasted for five days, I was full of pure joy, infact I never felt more joyfull and happy in my whole life, I was glowing for five days and the Dove keept showing up, in the air I saw tall blue/grayish men flying up and down everytime I heard an ambulance in my town and energies, purple /turquoise colors like rain comming towards us all the time maybe Neutrinoes) , His hair was so beautiful and his beard had at the throat some sort of an ancient hammercut style, his robe was light blue and old sandals... The followring days I saw his face in everything, in the the shape of trees and in almost everything living on earth...
UPDATE: A few days later I saw the old man sitting next to Jesus in the throneroom came flying right towards me in a vision when I blinked my eyes for a short moment

Hey I have had many of these experiences before. I understand quite a lot about the spiritual realm but can't type everything here. I got delivered from demons a few days ago. My body was shaking and trembling and being over backwards. Am a born again Christian now and I talk about spiritual realm and spiritual warfare on my Instagram [at] kezaa__ if you want to follow and watch you are welcome

I'm so glad I found this. I'm 20 and I experienced it for the first time in my sleep last night. I'd fallen asleep feeling very upset and wishing I never woke up. I don't know whether to call it a good or bad experience. It was some energy trying to separate my soul and body, like a force pulling my soul similar to a vacuum cleaner. I wasn't really trying to resist it. While feeling that way, I could hear faint scream of people trying to stop me from leaving and I was wondering if that is how death feels. It happened about 2-3 times repeatedly and in between I dreamt of my family. I generally get strange dreams and occasionally lucid dreams, also hypnogogia (hallucinations in the transition of the awake and sleep state). But this was very new to me.

I am from Trinidad and this happens to me a lot especially when I am tired. Can someone give me answers please? I am getting sick of experiencing this.

This happened to me I will like to know why does this happen
That's not the first time it happened I need answers

I believe that feeling you soul is leaving your body is some how spiritual connected to god I have the same feelings here lately more than I would like it's very scary the worse one put me in the hospital I fell asleep then quickly awoke with the feeling my heart stoped when it felt like my heart kicking in I got really scared my heart test came back normal but I still felt like my soul was trying to float out of my body I believe people with gifts are the ones who feel it you are a discerned of spirits I can feel others emotions true emotions I feel all living things I feel sickness from sick people I have dreams that has come to pass I know when things are going to happen before they do yes I thought I was crazy so I seeked to talk to a therapist and a priest my therapist has witnesses a lot of what I'm telling you I believe the closer you get with God the stronger the attacks come I'm going under testing on the brain and more on the heart they are going to monitor my sleep brain waves sleep rhymes these feelings are not normal and I'm sarching for answers spiritually and mentally I can say that god uses people that truly believes and obedience to him

I feel like that here lately it feels like my heart has stoped when I raise up out of fear my heart starts beating fast it's a feeling like floating it truly feels like my soul is leaving my body I'm very scared Becouse I don't know if it is my heart or not the only thing I have came up with while studying on it is you die for that few seconds I'm trying I have finally got doctors to start studying on my mind and heart the sleep ryms and brain waves it's scary and not normal

Hi, the same thing happened to me 2 days ago, when we were on vacation in San Antonio and I am searching to understand what is going on. I am so terrified.

I had the experience of my soul leaving my body as I lay in bed last night. I was just relaxing trying to fall asleep. I felt what I can only describe as my soul rising up out of my body. I was scared I was dying, so I opened my eyes, and it rested back in my body. I closed my eyes again and the same thing happened. I looked at the clock and it was the time exactly one year ago that my sister was fighting for her life in hospital. She died a couple of hours later. I don't know if I was trying to go to see her, or if she was contacting me, or what it was, but I've never experienced anything like it before. It scared me because I feared if I allowed it to happen I might die. I'm a very spiritual person, but didn't have the courage to go with it to see what would happen.

One summer evening my brother and I were outside laying on the front lawn and looking at the stars in the sky. No street lights at the time since our house was in new development. Looking up at the stars, I found myself out in space and passing the moon. Then other planets passed by and I thought this was really cool. As I got to Neptune, it looked like a light blue ball and very pretty. I looked ahead and saw Pluto in the distance but I was beginning to feel cold. I turned around and saw a silvery cord that seemed to be attached to me and to earth. Suddenly, I was back in my body and I turned to my brother and said "I'm not going to say anything!" and he said he wasn't going to either. I was nine years old and had no way of knowing what had happened! Not until I read 'Out on a Limb' by Shirley MacLaine fifty years later did I learn of out of body experiences.

I'm so relieved I found this blog. Just this morning, 07/12/2018, I had a weird dream, at first, the world was coming to an end I would say, the earth was ripping into longitudinal sections and falling inwards with people screaming for their lives, I could see my family screaming in vain, people vanishing from cracks occurring on the ground and then disappearing as an sinkholes. I was then taken to my room in the same dream, I saw my self sleeping, my soul gradually pulling out of me into a spirit realm, I could see my own body lying lifeless, I tried to shake myself and wake up, my soul was dislocated to my body, it was dark and quiet, It felt like my eyes were open but in the spirit realm. I could not touch, feel, smell, or turn my body. As I was looking down on my body, I realised I was leaving the earth and pulling out of the world, I tried to fight it but still could not connect back to my soul. I then thought about my daughter and uttered this words " Please God, my daughter " in a split second while fighting to turn, I reconnected with my body and thereafter got awake and was bitterly terrified by this dream.

I was sleeping and it felt like something was being pulled from my chest. I kind of woke up thinking am I having a heart attack? But I knew I wasn't. For some reason I knelt to the floor and started asking God for forgiveness. I got back on the bed and tried to sleep. It started again... I got up and went to the bathroom. I tried to walk it off so to speak. I walked back to the bed. I didn't see my body there so I'm not sure if it was OBE. I wasn't scared more nervous than scared. Like was I dying?... I don't know how to explain it. It happened 3 times total last night. I'm emotional trying to figure it out.

I really want y to remove my testimony and specific my mail add!

I was sleeping, I woke up. Started to walk away from the bed. I glanced back reliazing my body ME! The room was dark and my boyfriend was still in the chair watching t.v in our room as I left him when I fell asleep. So as this is my first time experiencing this... I freaked out. I thought I died and was in a different dimension then my body. So I ran up to my boyfriend started to scream, touch him... That didn't work... So I was like shiatil. I'll go blow in my mouth and or try to get my body to move so he would notice... I watched him get up... Then BAM I was awake... He said he heard me gurgle. So he checked on me. Now I'm kicking myself in the booty because I could of made the experience to learn and try new things. Hopefully I'll get another chance.

Happened to me today not before that I remember I was simply floating outside my body visually seeing myself driving. No fear then I was back. Just like that.

Just experienced it today and feel bit scared yet at the same time contented? I saw my body as I felt my soul pulled out by subtle yet firm energy. Odd enough my soul took a form of green and violet light and not like typical soul which shapes just like human body. Been developing psychic abilities since February and now this. Not sure what to think or feel anymore.

If anyone familiar with this or actually know what happened. Please contact me hborstze [at] outlook.com

Glad to know others have had a soul leaving experience. My experience last night was exhilarating. It gave me such peace to know the soul really does exist. Asleep, my soul, me, left my body. I realized it when I could see my deflated lifeless body lying on my left side in bed from about a three foot distance. It was pleasant. My essence appeared in the form of a round yet somewhat oval flat disk about four inches in diameter and a half inch thick. The disk was off-white and dense. It floated containing life and went visiting. For some reason, I want to use the word "we" as it seemed to be me, yet separate from me. We immensely enjoyed visiting some very delightful, gentle people that also thoroughly enjoyed our visit with full authenticity. One elderly woman, in particular, lead the visit with all the special, kind words that bring joy and a deep sense of comfort. My soul and I then floated away and at times quickly moved through the air returning to my body through suction in my chest. Right about where my heart sits and underneath it. It came to a point and was suctioned right back in without any concern, filling me up to my usual physical presence. I awoke and felt such wonderful joy. Hope it will happen again. I will just go with it and enjoy the experience without managing it.

I am so greatful I came across this thread, this happened to me a few nights back, I was half asleep, half awake almost in that nice dreamy state, I can't explain it in words, at first it felt like a strong warm wind focused right at the center of my heart was coming in and out, in and out, I can't describe it almost felt like something was leaving my body and halfway came back into my body, it was actually quite a nice but scary feeling. I ddnt induce it or anything its just happened and I have been wondering what this was.

I can relate to this post. Mostly I keep having dream within dream where I desperately try to wake up knowing its a dream but when I wake up its just another dream again. But recently I experienced this soul leaving my body in dream. I was desperately trying to wake up but my soul tries to leave my body. I was so scared that I stopped forcing myself to wake up. Then I felt like half of my soul is still disconnected and cannot enter my body because I know I am awake in my dream. My soul was making painful noises and sometime demonic sound because it couldn't enter my body again. I kept telling myself its just a dream so I tried moving my body but failed miserably. I couldn't wake up no matter how hard I tried so I lied down trying to relax. And I also had this experience where half of my soul was trying to show my body sleeping in my bed but I was so scared to look that I closed my eyes. And that's when I felt sudden pressure (like my body thrown down from height) and I realized my soul has entered my body. And after that with few attempts to wake up I could finally wake up in reality.

This has been happening to me since I was 8. For 20 years. It's nothing to be afraid of. Your mind is so powerful. If you think it's a negative experience and/or if your religious your mind will automatically go to thinking "ghosts" "demons" "dark figures" "witches" and all that other crazy stuff I was hearing. Relax, it's a little frightening if your inexperienced and your mind has been warped all your life. We are spiritual beings in physical form. Read up on OBEs, tell your self you are safe and okay, you are not going to die from this if you wake up! Your soul will just shoot right back into your body, you will begin to vibrate, you may feel heavy/light, you may hallucinate or hear things. Again, all part of the experience. Awaken your conciousness and don't be confined to main stream ideology. Check out GAIA for great information.

I do it a lot but only when I lay down to go to sleep. I feel it happening and I see myself laying in bed and I can not move and I can get myself to wake up. It scard me really bad. And I keep trying to get myself to wake up. And when I do finally get awake. I get up. If I just lay There it will happen to me again. I don't like to do it I don't have any control over it. It just happen.

Yesterday I was lying on my bed. I was not well. I felt my soul been pulled from my body. Like a vacuum cleaner. It just lasted for 30 second & after that I just felt relaxed. I remember that my eyes were open & I can see & sense everything happening to me. I don't know what it was. I wanted to know why it is happening to me.

If any one has information about it please do contact me [at] Vivek_rastogi2000 [at] yahoo.com

I'm thirteen and this has happened to me but usually when this happens I lose my senses. I can't feel anything smell anything, my sight goes away ext. And sometimes it's even tough to breathe. I don't know if this is the same thing or something different if you know please let me know.

Then I woke up on his lap as a kid in the New Jerusalem, I was growing up fast, my whole past away family was waiting on a little bridge in front of me, all of them was young again I asked my aunt 'Do you know who this is'? Her answer was 'Yes He is always here'! I had some alonetime with them and we went up in a old mill tower to talk.

I been there two times now and everything he said came true (At the first experience I was sitting with Jesus looking out on a sunset and a beautiful wheatfield, behinde me there was a large tree with fruits I never seen before and a ladder in the middle of all, later he took me to a throneroom where I saw two chairs in one of them infront of me on my right hand I saw a old man looking exacly like GOD from Micheal Angelos painting of The Creation, behinde me on the wall I saw a big old wooden wheel with red saphires between the spokes, I heard a loud voice said 'Bend' so I did and now Jesus was sitting in the other chair he told me that I had to save a girl from doing drugs, I met her and manage to convinced her, she is now working for the Governent... (everything above was going on telepathically) . I also been filled with the Holy Spirit, for five days I was full of pure joy, infact I never felt more happy in my life, I was glowing for five days and I had a Crystal Skull on my ceiling and the Dove keept showing up, I saw tall blue/grayish men flying up and down everytime I heard an ambulance in my town. In the air I saw energies, purple /turquoise colors drops like rain coming towards at us all the time. We spoke telepatically and I saw everything clearly... The first time I was there I was 14 and he said I will come and visit him again in 25years and that did happend. Everything he said did come true! He also showed me that i/we can relay on the New Testement and he said the next four years is going to be hard for me (he was soo right about that) but when the four years is over the things he learned me will take place and that is this year 2018 in a couple of months:) . He also showed me that he will come and get me again when I'm in the eities and living in a nursinghome and he showed me that scene from the future and the day that I will die... Everything above is 100% true He had sandals on and a light blue robe, except when he took that car for me then I saw he had a deep red robe on, his beard was kind of old at the throat (like a hammercut) but the rest was very modern and beautiful, his hair was big and long to the shoulders and amazingly beautiful, at one point I asked him if I could see his hands and I could clearly see that many years ago there was holes in them, the marks of big old nails but the holes was now closet up... The eyes was blue as I recall it;)) after that one evening I was wathcing television I closed my eyes for a second and saw the old man sitting beside jesus in heaven came flying right towards me, right before he 'hit' me I opened my eyes, then soon after I begain to feel empty, hard, without feelings, I can't cry, I just feel soulless and carefree, I miss having sympathy I even miss crying but I simply just cant, like I don't care about anything, its awfull, I try to pray but I can't consentrate I even curse in my thoughts when I try, so odd because I used to be pretty sensetive and had a lot of tears and feelings now I'm just a hard bit*h, I wonder that maybe I'm in the Dark night of my soul, its a kind of dryness where you feel you lost God, hope that's what it is, some kind of learning experience... As younger (22years old) I had a sleep paralysis experinece felt like something evil was reaping me and said nasty pervert words, then I thought - When will God come and rescue me, and just when I thought that I heard a bell, like a churchbell and something came and took it away... SORRY MY POOR ENGLISH. Sarahmuller4800 [at] gmail.com. By the way... A woman called Kirsten mørch Nielsen from Denmark had a similar jesus experience like mine see painted him see the picture here https://goo.gl/images/r7MP5U.

It happens to my weekly but 2days ago it was worse. My wife witness it as I could move but only talk to her as tears rolled out my eyes. When it happens all I do and want to do is talk to God through prayer. I thought I was dying. Can some please help or at least explain. I'm from South Africa email palmerbencalvin [at] gmail.com

It happened to me at various times and quite a few times when I was in college. I remember sitting in a carrel at times and like my spirit would just float up and I could see everyone in the carrels around me and hear their conversations. It was never scary for me. Once I decided to see if the people were actually in the other carrels and having the conversations I heard so I checked it out and it was true. It happened in cars a couple of times also. I haven't had the experience again since college though. I used to see a "ghost" growing up also that no one else ever saw. My cousin tells me it was my guardian angel.

Am I just dreaming?, because I was sleeping in my room but I feel like I stand up and feeling so light, like floating and I even walk and reach the door of my room but before I get out of my room, something pulled me and just like that I am in my bed lying it happened 3 times that night. It creepy because when I am snapped back into bed I am in the same position like I didn't move

I have had this feeling twice in one night but never since. This happened about 2 years ago. My body and me had been asleep for 4+hours when one of my children in the next room began shouting for daddy, my husband next to me got up and went to her. My body was still in same position asleep in the bed but I was awake with my eyes shut. I could hear their conversation and later related it to him to confirm. Then I felt a black pressure pushing me down which was very scary! Next minute I was raising up out of my body. Like a force was just lifting me horizontally up out of it. I didn't dare open my eyes first time and felt the same force gradually put me back. Next time I regretted not opening my eyes because I wanted to know if it was a brain thing or an actual o.b.e thing. Second time I sunk down in blackness and found myself being lifted out of my body I counted to three in my mind and opened my eyes and my perspective was from the ceiling looking at tops of the wardrobe. I panicked and closed my eyes feeling the push back into my body again.

This happen to me too. A lot of times. My first was, since I have wild imaginations when it happened to me, even I didn't see anything I always imagine that creepy black woman form with wings took my soul (not an angel). I couldn't move at all, all I did was pray to stop. It was scary, it doesn't feel like a dream at all. All I hear was her wings flapping really fast like it vibrates so loud. It scared me. As I woke up I kept thinking about last night, because it felt really real and it was not just a bad dream. When told my friend about it he said "maybe its about astral projection". Then I search about it. Since I didn't really see the monster my eyes was close it was just an imagination. Turns out it was just my body vibrating really loud not her wings. That's when I realize my soul should have come out if I didn't stop it. This happen to me a lot of times with different imaginations couldn't seem to continue it.

I can't tell you how relieved I am to have stumbled across this! My experience occurred in 2006 when I was going through a tough time and was desperately trying to read the Bible and find some solace. I was desperate for comfort. I was so Impacted by this experience that it changed my view of God and made me a true believer. I always believed and had been baptized three years earlier, but for me, this was absolute proof of God. I was asleep face down and suddenly felt this freezing cold air and could tell there was intense light even through closed eyes. I was very excited feeling and thinking over and over "God is here, God is here!" And I heard this high pitched music that I can't really describe. It wasn't beautiful singing but just high and loud. Suddenly I felt intense pressure on my back at the top of my spine, almost like someone was pulling me out of my body. It was a bit painful from my recollection. Then suddenly the pain was gone, the cold and high pitched music was gone and I was looking around at other people of various ages and sexes that appeared to be floating around a circular type orbit. It was very quick and I was feeling the need to respond to something, I'm not sure what but I said "I'm praying for the Smiths" my old bosses at the time. The next thing I knew I was slammed back into my body in bed and face down as before, and still unable to move. Then I felt the cold air again and a sprinkling of water on my back. I've been told by other Chrisyians that my soul was being blessed. This was around the time when I saw the digital phone at work read "good" and then "evil". It was the height of a time of my search for meaning in God that these things started. I've had other dreams that felt like negative attacks but I always find my subconscious is praying for me and repeating over and over "Jesus is my Lord and personal Savior" over and over. (At the time that was not even something I would say!) I'm scared and in some type of sleep paralysis at those times but get a sense I'll be okay when the praying starts. I also noted that since I divorced my ex husband and his sinful ways and sold that house, no more dreams of black mists or being unable to scream, etc have occurred. I've had other events happen and truly feel I notice and see more than others. I've had premonitions come true and dreams of deceased loved ones with messages that are unexplainable and relevant. I'm fascinated by this now and have always wondered about that night 12 years ago. I knew it happened but when everyone looks at you like you're crazy, you almost start to tgink that they're right! Thanks again for sharing!

I Just had the experience to where my soul left my body Two nights ago. I don't label myself as far as religion, but I will say that I'm a strong believer in God. I am 26 years old my first experience was when I was 23. My grandmother had past that year and I have had a dream of her and in my dream my little sister had told me that we had to get right with God if we wanted to see her again and my grandma faded away. Still while I was asleep in my dream with it ending in me saying "Lord take my soul" I begin to feel my mouth open while I was sleep and it was like the air that I breath was being suctioned out of my body! I felt my soul coming out of my body! And got a little scared and woke up! Well getting back to two nights ago, I felt almost the same feeling except I also heard beautiful music while this was happening and everything was turning white! Like my surroundings were white beautiful melodies! I said take me lord in my head and it was an amazing feeling until I started thinking about my family and everything how much I love them and I don't want to hurt anyone if I was to let this happen and my soul wouldn't return to my body. What I have to learn though is that everything on earth is temporary. I have to learn to detach myself from earthly things because my soul is eternal, my physical body isn't. I'd rather be in heaven. If it was to happen again as much as it would probably hurt to physically leave them, I would go. Maybe God is calling his angels to help guide others. I don't know. I look at every situation in a spiritual way. If there is anyone else who feels this way I want to hear about it! I knew I wasn't the only one but never decided to google if anyone else were in similar situations either.

I have an explanation. This happened to me three separate times in 2015/2016. I was in that half sleep/half awake point. In my spirit/ soul I was saying "Jessszz" and my body vibrated and was uncomfortable. But felt I could not fully say Jesus. I thought I was demonically being attacked so after the third day I prayed my house out... It didn't happen for a while... God didn't want me fearful. Then about two months ago it happened again in 2018! But I wasn't scared! All at once I felt my spirit vibrate and say Jessssz as it tried to come out. Then due to being uncomfortable I came back into my body. I tried a second time and the same thing happen. Finally I decided I would go past the discomfort and I was able to say JESUUSS! As I came from my body. It was the most amazing thing ever. I was fully in The presence of God shouting from my soul and worshiping Him! I heard all of these angelic angels around me and heard the most beautiful music. I never heard those types of instruments before. Our human body and soul are so differently I wouldn't be able to worship God like that inside of my body! Then I fell back into my body so peaceful and fell asleep. I mentioned to my female prophetic pastor. I barely described anything but she told me that I was uncomfortable at first and that the last try was me breaking through. Then last Wednesday I was prophecied to at a church I visited and a woman said I've been having out of body experiences because God is preparing me to be a worshipper! She's a stranger to me and I never mentioned this... So some Christians know that your experience might not be demonic. I was scared in 2015 then realized that I was just uncomfortable. I've never felt so good until I finally let myself be with God and surrendered to him. If it's God you will eventually know. So maybe ask God to allow you to say Jesus as you go to Him in spirit/soul

Can I speak to a christian about this is this ok? Appreciate very much vanita.george [at] hotmail.com

I find it interesting that some people on this forum are also right about my age, I also find it funny that most of you do not know how to type correctly Lol. Anyways I have been having the same type of sensation about 3 nights 2 nights were back to back but all in the same week. I am about to fall asleep when suddenly I feel panic and my body getting pulled from the back of my head, like if I was doing a back tumble or dying. Really bad I never experienced this type of attack before. I am a follower of Christ, and have had different types of attacks throughout my life. Being due to either going out and sharing the Word with people or unfortunately willful sin, I know for a fact that this is not from God. Also before I continue further Astral Projecting is not a practice that Christians should be involved with. Witches and warlocks usually do this things to attack Gods churches, neighborhoods, with principalities and other demonic entities in the spirit a great audio only video can be found in Youtube and is called "NDE 2nd and 3rd Heavens Demons in Human form with Lukewarm Christians living in the Last Days".
It is an attack due to the fact that my room will be really warm Vs my whole apartment I will have the A/C going like 69'ish degrees yet in my room I'm tossing and turning keeping my wife awake also I can't fall asleep whatever is happening its robbing me of my peace, which makes it not from God. This type of episode where my room is really hot has happened before I'm pretty sure its a familiar spirit which I have cast out before, but I made a grave mistake about a week and a half ago. I was on Youtube and saw a video that I should not have watched it was about people playing the wiggi board I muted the video and was skipping threw it I guess curiosity got the worst of me, nevertheless I watched it ever since then, this crap started to happen then I prayed against the first attack but the next day I rented the 1st movie Sherlock Holmes and there was also a satanic ritual presented during the latter part of that movie. I'm an idiot God told me not to engage in occult practices yet here I was being an idiot and not realizing that God said to stop anything that is associated with magic altogether. Including a silly game from the 90's called Heroes of might and magic 2. I strongly believe that last nights attack was because I played that game willfully thinking that God did not find the actual game an offense. I found myself frustrated and exhausted at first I was mad at God I did not understand why he was still allowing this to happen!, I opened the word and in a random page I read that fools get mad, then my anger turned to frustration then to sadness and finally I repented and that is when his Holy Spirit gave me a verse to read, It was 1 Kings 15:5 which says. Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. So God clearly is telling me to obey him without question on this matter which in my eyes does not seem so bad yet God sees something totally different. I know there is a learning curb for me and a big blessing attached to this hardship in which I am in right now. I hope this message encourages others to really open up and share the whole experience because we need to understand why this only happens to certain people I have the spiritual gift of discerning spirits but can't really use it at my church.

Today the 1.03.2018 night I was sleep and it is a happiest time for me that my wife and son is standing to me and my soul is leaving my body and I am laughing with my wife that I am leaving this world happily saying bye bye to my dearest loving wife and son and thinking about my body what will happen after dead. It is fact some times we saw such kinds of dreams and experience of dying

It's called astral travel. There are several books on it. You can travel to any dimension or time. You can travel back to your previous lives. Your astral body comes out of your physical body. I suggest that you read about astral travel as there are people that do this through meditation also. However I believe everyone does this while they sleep, they just aren't aware and lack the recall capabilities. You all are spiritually blessed. So learn more about it and you will no longer fear it.

I laid down. I feel asleep. I woke up. I felt my soul been pulled from my body. Like a vacuum cleaner. Suck my soul out. Scared me. I fought it so hard. Not to go. I had hurt my arm. I don't know what it was. I don't want do this again. I was thinking obe. Or aliens...

Omg! My experience is so similar to yours. I hope that you are still around here so that we can talk more about it, if you don't mind. When it happened to me, I didn't want to think about it and put it on the back of my mind because I was terrified. My e-mail is aha.toppec [at] gmail.com. I truly hope that we can talk. Take care & blessings:)

I can remember going outside my home and "flying" around at night. I would fly just above the trees and hover over the city. Everything looks so interesting at night with the city lights and vehicle lights. It feels liberating, but sometimes I feel like someone is actually able to spot or sense me though I'm sure they can't see me.

I'm experiencing it now, for the third time in my life. The second time I was 17 and I (my soul) was in the corner of a bedroom watching myself as I physically sat on the edge of a bed. It freaked me out, of course, but I haven't been able to understand it. I haven't really told anyone about it either because of possibly being seen as crazy.

The first time I was 13 and I was in bed to sleep. I remember looking at the digital alarm clock across the room, feeling intense fear as if something evil was under my bed and waiting to grab my arm. Suddenly, I did feel a dark presence grab my arm - there was a sudden spark - and I felt my soul slowly raising upward. As I rose closer to the ceiling, I could see the "popcorn" detailing as it was very near to me. During this experience I felt as if there was a sort of invisible force which was raising me upward. When I passed through the ceiling, I realized I must have died. I remember feeling very sorry for my body that was left behind. I also remember that I had no pain at all - I was able to notice that difference right away. Just breathing and the organs in our body - inside our chest cavity - there is pain associated with that. We just don't realize it because we're used to it. But I was free of the pain one has with having a body. Also my vision/sense of sight was spectacular. So anyways, I was in the attic at this point when I started communicating with God telling him I wasn't ready to die, that there was a lot more I wanted to do and experience, and that I'd like another chance at life. At that moment I slowly was lowered back down to my body, just as I had been raised. I saw the "popcorn" ceiling as I passed through it once more and a jolt as I reentered my body. I looked at the alarm clock across the room and was very surprised about what had just happened. I felt a peace and was able to sleep right away.

Now at 37 I am feeling this way again, except only partially at the moment. The best way I can describe it is that I feel as if my soul is about 25% out of my body - that elastic feeling that someone else had mentioned. I can feel it stretching out or being pulled on by an unseen force.

I had a similar experience last night. I was falling asleep with the intent of astral projection. It hasn't worked yet, but usually there is a "build up". Start feeling a tingling in my arms and legs and slowly intensifies until I feel like I'm floating. This time however there was no "build up". I was lost deep in thought and almost asleep. Then I was suddenly jolted awake with the tingling sensation throughout my body stronger than I ever thought possible. I felt like I was being pulled up by the legs. Not by something, but by a force. If that makes sense. Although it came as a surprise and shock I never panicked and just let it happen. Along with the tingling there was a very loud humming noise.

Anyway it was a pretty strong pull, but my head would not let go. I could feel the rest of my body floating and being pulled. I felt imense pressure in my head like it was going to explode. Mostly in the forehead. It failed though, because I got a few texts and the sound made me snap back.

Although it didn't scare me during. I'm scared to attempt it again. Always thought it would be a calm experience, but this was intense.

Is this how it usually happens or was something else going on? It didn't happen by my own will. I did attempt, but bailed and was just falling asleep as usual when it happened. Lasted about 20-30 seconds.

I'm experienced the same. Many times,I'm a christian I know that anytime God will take my life because He owned me.I'm a silent type of person my favorite time is with when I'm talking to God alone with deep thinking... Many times I fall into deep sleep wherein my soul comes out from my body. I really saw my body laying down on my bed, the dress I wear the pillow that I used to I've seen everything in my room. I fell I'm awake but the only thing I ask for, why is it that my body was laying down then I'm awake? Then I started my heart to beat faster thinking that I'm dead already then suddenly I feel I was strack and I wake up suddenly with my heart beat rapidly... The only thing I'm sure of that if I will die one day I will go to heaven because I accept Jesus Christ in my haert as my personal Lord and saviour...that's the only way you will go to heaven... If you will not accept Him hell is waiting... WE are save by faith alone. The bible tells.

I was half awake and half asleep. Whatever it was leaving my body it paralyzed me until it was completely gone. Although I will admit it was the greatest feelling I ever encountered. And my eyes were open as well as my wife happened to up watching me go through this.

it has helped me to see that it not just me who had such dreams. I also had a dream where I was sleeping in the morning and trying to wake up and I couldn't because something was pressing me down and after I prayed on my dream my spirit was moving around trying to talk to people I live with but they couldn't see or hear me until my sister called my name that when I was able to woke up n I was alive.

I was 17 or 18 teen went in my room and laid face down on the couch wasn't there five minutes when I felt really relaxed I felt my self leaving my body I was rising towards the ceiling I could see my body still on the couch I was scared as hell I started waving my arms because I knew I was going threw the ceiling if I didn't get back in my body I started floating back down I came to my body turned and lined up with it and popped back in I jumped up and said to my self what just happened I was scares when this happened then if it was to happen now I think I would not try to stop it I would see where it would take me I could see my body lying on the couch but could not see my form sole spirit what ever it is

I definitely can relate. This phenomenon has happened several times to me (I'm pretty sure it began when I was 14 but I didn't know what I was experiencing and still unsure of what was happening). Last couple times I was terrified and was sent back into my body. Yesterday night it happened: I felt something pulling me (from my body) and I almost slid out of body onto the floor where I hovered. My awareness told myself not to freak out and that I was safe (that way I wouldn't get sucked back into body). I wanted to explore what was occurring. I floated over my bedroom floor and pet my dog at end of my bed and went to living room where my husband was laying on couch with light on watching tv. I asked him if he was ready for bed. He said yes. Next thing you know I'm in my body waking up because my husband was coming into bedroom to come to bed. Asked him for the time and realized I had only been asleep for about an hour and he was coming to bed early because he was bored. Normally he doesn't come to bed early. So it is a strange occurrence. I think part of me was terrified of the occurrence because there were many times prior that there was a 'negative' entity attacking me. I had the sleep paralyses where I couldn't speak or move but some spirit was pulling me out of bed/my body. This last couple times there wasn't that bad negative spirit or whatever there, it was just me coming out of my body on my own and my intitial instinct was fear because the other times this occurred was because something bad was around me when this happened.
You are not alone. Just be sure to ask for protection or for safety. A lot of times I go to bed expressing all the things I'm grateful for and I ask for the universe/God to keep me happy healthy and safe. That seems to help I believe...

I have the same experience I saw my soul leaving my body. And I say "No" then snap I just went back from my body. After this things happened to me I felt kind of scared in unseen things. I am scared in metaphysical explanayion all thou I feel deep within me that I felt like I am a healer but what should I do to myself. People around me are so Science and they believe in Logic & Facts only.

I am a very spiritual person, and I have these experiences of astral projection before. There are several experiences I would like to share with you. First, in 2011, I have an experience where I was talking to God and asking him if he is real to show me himself. I ask this because I have been suffering from major depression and I ask him to take it away but he won't. After I ask Jesus if he is real to show me himself, I lay down in my bed. Within seconds of laying down, I was taken up into a heavenly place in the same position that I was laying in. I can even look at myself in the third person view. I stand up and look around, and I saw blue skies with puffy white clouds. The floor was very shiny, like marbles, and the area was very big. It was so peaceful there. Then I notice this white cloud in front of me, I was drawn to it. I stared at it for awhile until I saw it open up. The cloud in front of me open wide and out came a big figure shaping like a man whose head was full of light and I could not see his face. He was wearing a robe, his head was glaring with a bright light and the clouds were covering his waist. I know it was God. It seems he was looking at me as I stared at him in shock. He then dives both his hands into me and takes out my soul, it looks just like me. He then hugs my soul from behind and the cloud consumes both my soul and God. They were gone. I then find myself back in my bed. I did not notice that my soul was missing because I was too amazed that I saw God. After that, I fall into a very deep depression that I am suffering from right now. I also have many experiences of demonic attacks and I see demons. I have many astral projections also. The first one I was laying down and It feels like someone was pulling my hand, it tugged me about 5 times until I was pulled out of my body. After I was out of my body I was floating around my mother's house. I then floated into the kitchen where I could see my mom talking on the phone with her head stuck inside the refrigerator devouring everything in sight. I was pulled out of my body twice and I saw the same thing. I then wake up and go to the kitchen and there my Mom was, talking on the phone at the refrigerator chewing her mouth. I have many other astral projections after this and I know it is very real. Now my problem is I am a living body without a soul, I feel empty inside, I am depressed and just stay home all day and night. I have not dated in almost 10 years, life really sucks right now. I really have no soul in me. It's like my emotions are gone. I do want to laugh, love and be happy, but I can't. I just feel so empty and lonely. Lately, I have been having visions of me feeling whole, full, present, happy, and back with my soul again. I want to believe these visions but its been so long that I feel doubtful. The visions show me a much better version of me, but this me talking to you now is broken and soulless. I am 37 years old, single, and living alone without a soul, and no one around me notices what I am going through. Does anyone understand what I am going through?

Last night I had what I call "intense dreams". These are dreams that deeply impact me in the dream as well as after I awaken. They are so real in emotion, feelings, light--and I don't know what else--it brings me to tears and drops me to my knees in pure bliss. My son, Jareb Seth, took his life about 3yrs ago and I have had 3 "visitations" in my dream state. My dream last night was like nothing I've ever experienced. It was like I woke up in my dream and felt as if I was falling, soaring, rising--cant quite describe it. I could feel that I was detaching from my body--I realized I was leaving earth and was on my way to Heaven. I was not wanting to do this at first but then I began to relax and just let it happen without fear. It was like I made a decision that I was okay with dying. When I arrived there was light like I have never seen other than in my "dream visitations" I was disoriented and my vision wasn't right but I was aware that many people were around me. I don't remember hearing anything. When I was able to see--I looked up and there was my son--standing before me with his shiat eating grin on his face. He was so handsome to me--I kept saying that--I was crying and we just held each other. I don't really know what happened after that other than I was not going to let go of him and I felt or sensed others were trying to pull us apart. That was it--I woke up with tears on my face and pillow. Does anyone think we can die in our sleep state? Are we able to travel in spirit form to Heaven while in a deep sleep state? I would love some input if you have experienced this or if you are knowledgeable to these type of occurrences.

I was sleeping and I have sleep paralysis so I was trying to call out for someone to wake me up Simone opened my door an came in to help I felt unn easy like something wassent right it was disguise as my friend trey he said common so I grabbed his hand so he could wake me up but when he pulled It felt like my spirit was leaving my body that's when I started to realize there's no way in he'll trey would be in my house he hassent came over in years he capt saying come on come on an I was shaking my head no because I knew it wassent him I was in astro progection I think it was trying to steal my body then I woke up to something that sounded like paper in the wind It stopped as soon as I opened my eyes I walked up stairs an my dog was freaking out looking at me shaking like it saw something I couldent

I felt so when someone threatened my life in indirect way in front of me! Which was first to happen to me! I felt surrounded from all sides! He asked me do you know what's your limit around you!...for a moment I felt trapped! But then I told him in my mind There is God up in heavens! That moment I felt as if light was shining on me from the skies down to the back of my head! For a second I felt my soul escaped into that path and later went back assured that I'm protected!... I just couldn't believe what happened to me I even question myself what truly has happened!.

Once I was listening to a lecture about the journey of the soul after death from a Muslim preacher, saying if you have a good soul youll see heavens and beyond!... I slept listening to him but I was for a moments still able to listen to him while actually floating into another AMAZING places seeing it in my own eyes as if I was awake! It felt like heaven what I saw and it was crystal clear!

December 3 Rd, 2017
I payed down and went to sleep. And had a dream / vision. And in this there was a lady I was drawn to and couldn't understand why. But then God spoke to me and a beautiful vase appeared in my hands. And God told me to give the vase to the lady I had been drawn to for a while and never understood why. So I did as Good ask. Then God spoke to me again and said Peace be Still. So I payed down and concentrated on what God had just spoke. And as I looked up the sky parted and I felt my spirit being lifted out of my body. It was so amazing I can still fill the feeling now. I was so at Peace. Then I woke up. And Prayed God I want more, more of you and less of me. Take me oh God. It was so awesome to know God was lifting me up. I just wish it continued.

ive had an experience like that although I appeared outside my house and the sky was just white... I felt my whole body tingling and when I came back in my body I saw how I came back. I was scared as it was pitch black in my house and I had a flashlight with me. It a bit weird beccause people that experience this are usually old but i'm 12:/ (this happened yesterday)

I have been out of my body at least a dozen times. This can happen in different ways.

The important thing to understand is that you are not your body, and that your body is not you. Your body is your temporary home and the tool that does the bidding of your soul.

Upon death your soul departs and your body disintegrates.

In the end, your only concern is the condition of your soul. That is what is important.

My first time I was running. I know a lot of people have out of body experiences running, others in the Army with me say it has happened to them to or its normal. I was running so hard for so long it was like my body went into cruise control and I could look down and see myself running but couldn't feel anything. I started to worry that I would fall because I wasn't telling my body to run it just was. I am also a vivid dreamer. I have my own dream world and I can revisit anywhere I want. Most of my dreams are strange and dark but I also have strange but good dreams. I always remember them since I was a kid. So I had been really wanting to go home to Iowa, where I lost my dad and see our old house and my Aunts across the street and revisit my childhood places. I wanted to go so bad. I drempt I went but it was different than usual. I felt like I had to be hiding because I knew I shouldn't be there but my Aunt saw me. The next day I had this feeling like I really went. Then I saw a tv show where a black woman traveled in her dream and was spotted in the place she was visiting spiritually... Is it real? Is it all a dream? I don't know but that's why I'm on here reading. Can your spirit travel and come back while you sleep? And if someone spots you, are they sencing your soul?

I was just three and I suddenly felt my soul leave my body and I saw everyone asleep but not my dad he looked at me if I was sleeping and he noticed that I wasn't breathing. He tried CPR on me but did not work then he called the police and they took me to the hospital. My mom and dad were worried so they came with me in their car. Suddenly I felt my soul return the end. Good thing I am still alive😀

I had the same kind of expierence, one day I was kind of tired. So I went and got to bed, when eventually my body was feeling very heavy, which I like. It feels so relaxing. My mind was still woke tho, and all the sudden, I literally felt my soul stand up out of my body. It went on its knees and tried to stand up. But I could see myself lay in my bed. So that got me kind of scared tbh. And when I got a little scared my soul Fell Into my body again, I can't describe the feeling. I was paralyzed for

I had a terrifying experience last night when my soul left my body and entered into a huge box and someone was in the box already, trying to kill me and my soul was afraid of being killed. I started pushing him hard and started screaming loud that don't kill me, don't kill me and actually I was lying in my bed and shouting out loud when my husband got hold of me and that's exactly when my soul entered back in my body and it took me good 10-12 minutes to realise that it was just a weird dream but I could feel the pain of my soul entering back in my body. After a few minutes, I experienced fever and it took me nearly 2 hours to realise that it was a dream! Yes, I experienced that my soul left my body on the bed and came back after!

My experience is quite like you but in my case I was sleeping beside my brother and suddenly I am seeing that I can't movie my body at all and after a moment I felt like my soul came out and I am seeing my body peacefully sleeping and my brother also sleeping then I got to another room where my father and my mother were arguening on something and didn't even see me and suddenly again I am in my body how much ever I try I can't move my body at all... And then I wake up I don't know what had happened to me did my soul really come out of my body or it was just a weird dream.

Hey guys, I see someone on here posted that they heard "vibration sounds"... I too have heard those sounds. This whole astral thing has happened to me several times already in my life. Usually I hear those vibration sounds when my soul is trying to escape... I know its a spiritual thing for sure and that I'm not dreaming because I read somewhere that "vibrations" are usually connected to the spiritual world. Anyway... I have actually "Soul travelled" before, and I'm not going to lie... Its fun. I know someone on here also mentioned that they're scared to do it so they let their body "snap" back... Do it. Just do it... For fun! All I do to return back to my body is close my eyes and pray I return back... And bam... I do.Anyway, the reason why I say its fun because I can literally bounce off the walls... Do backflips, run into a wall, and still be fine. I don't feel any pain whatsoever. I do recall seeing another spirit... It was a young white boy climbing into my window... But he seemed like a normal kid... I didn't realize it was another spirit I saw until a few days later. It really wasn't scary at all. Traveling as a spirit feels like I'm on the moon (everything is in slow motion and I feel like I'm floating or skipping in slow motion) but this may be different for other people. One time I was able to travel to my parents room (they were still up chatting) but they didn't notice me and I remember floating into their bathroom and I looked in the mirror... I was curious to see if I still looked the same... I remember seeing my face, which looked the same, but my face was moving in slow motion. It was as if I was on ecstasy or something? Idk... Very strange. Anyway, on some mornings when I wake up I think its my physical body waking up, but then I realize its not because my body does not feel warm... So this astral thing really likes to play around with me. I guess I'm really in tune with my spirit? Idk... But when I tell my mother its as if she doesn't want to hear what I have to say and she tells me to go to church (lol). I think she believes its a "demonic" thing... But I on the other hand just think I'm really in tune with my soul. What do you guys think? On another note, I know some people actually travel outside and "fly" in the night sky... Which I think sounds really cool... And i'd like to do it sometime but...don't think I have the balls to...haha. Has anyone ever done that?

...4yrs ago I had an out of body experience facing down on my stomach in a deep sleep. I felt and saw myself lift up and out of my physical body. It felt like I was about 5 feet in the air and seeing myself lying there on the bed when I realized...Oh! I was probably going too die. I remember using my arms as if I was trying to swim back down from the air, being uncertain if I should look up, I just kept moving my arms facing down and doing so until I returned to my body. I woke up only to realize how much I appreciate life more than ever and just being myself... Everything is so clear now.

I don't believe that it's possible for the soul to leave the body until the body dies. I believe that one can have some very frightening dreams while asleep. I also believe that one, especially when one is very tired and stressed, can have frightening experiences in a half sleeping, half awake state. A few times in my life I have been asleep, felt myself awaken, and then felt that someone was in my bed and hitting my back. I was so scared. It turned out that I wasn't awake--I was actually still asleep. It seemed incredible because I could see my bedroom clearly (usually in dreams I'm in strange rooms and houses--nothing looks like my actual living quarters). I believe that after death the two halves of our soul unite and live in eternity in perfect peace, but our souls remain with our bodies until death and when we believe that we are out of our bodies that we are either dreaming or hallucinating. Oh, and in regard to the person who had a dream where there was strong cigarette smoke and then heard the news that the event he/she had dreamed about had actually occurred and that a strong smell of cigarette smoke lingered at the scene, this would be called a precognitive dream which happens when a person has psychic powers.

You may want to reach out to a Reiki Master. They can guide you or attune you to the Reiki symbols which enhance and open up your psychic abilities. If you become attuned you will learn how to protect yourself. Yin/Yang, Good v Bad, go hand in hand so you must learn to protect yourself. I don't know your age but you are feel like a light worker, possibly an indigo child. Since the late 60's/early 70's an on we have been evolving on a spiritual level much faster & with many more people than any time before. I say this to all ligh workers like myself, learn as much as you can and guide these young people. Cell phones, computers, divorce, vaccines with Mercury, parents ignoring their children and the food we eat are killing off the generation that's meant to lead change for the better. Seek knowledge from a Reki master. I say this to all of you feeling lost or scared who are likely in your 20's or younger, those of you that are older should have led down this path already, if not, you must. Please excuse the typos, been awake 40 hrs, insomnia!

Hi JPR!
I would think that in this life time you came to continue your spiritual journey where you left on. In this body, every body will forget the assigned tasks to do but the seed remains unquenched deep within you. Then came a time when the higher beings responsible for that had to stir you spiritually up in the most appropriate way for you to continue your quest for the Absolute. You have been reminded that you are the immortal soul living beyond time and space. You will search until you find your own way back to GOD.

I also experienced that when I was in 17 and the idea is the soul go out when you have lot of feelings of tiredness or stress maybe. I was asleep and I feel I fall down, I see the back of my body lying on floor and behind that floor is a hot place I fell in that actually make me thirst easily. When I look up I seen my body like lying on a glass, and I told myself I need to get back before some lost soul came in that empty shell. But I don't easily get in yet I seen a soul waiting for me, then we went inside the mirror and that soul actually got question on her mind that she asked me why her husband have to kill her. She showed me how the murder happened and after that I got out in the mirror again and seen my body lying sleeping. That is the most terrifying event happened to me and I fall again to that hot place behind the floor and when I float to go inside my body its like a glass and I can't get inside. I pray the Lord's Prayer and immediately I get in a super speed way and I wake. I can say that the only thing that make me in is the prayer but I have question how can you control your soul from going out your body?

Hi JPR!
I can relate to what you are saying. My experience started some years ago when I was around 15 years of age. I was at a cousin's wedding when all of a sudden I was experiencing a strange feeling and I fell down. All of a sudden my soul left my body and all that I could see were people watching with shock and my body was taken inside the house and only immediate members of my family were allowed. I could hear and see everyone who was around from above. After some minutes my soul was back into my body and my mother was crying helplessly not knowing what was going on. Every one who was present was in a state of shock not knowing what was happening to me. After some minutes my soul went out of the body for the second time and I could still see people from below and I watched as they lifted my body to a different room and and just a few members of my family were allowed to get in to the room but there was this other old men who I did not know but he was acting like he was part of of the family and very funny no one seemed to notice or care about this old man. As my soul got back into the body, the first words I said was to ask this man what he was doing and why he wanted to kill me. The old man did not answer my question but he just looked at me and gave me a smile and it was like other people who were in that room did not hear our conversation so the old man just ignored me and immediately, my soul went out of the body. By the time my soul got back to my body, I slapped the man just across the face and people who were around were surprised and said I shouldn't hit the man and I told them that the man is a witch but they did not believe what I was saying thinking that maybe I was loosing my mind. After slapping the old man, my soul went out of the body and the old man started manifesting his evil plans in the open and those around were now convinced about my accusations. Immediately my soul was back to my body but this time around for good. I still do not understand what was happening that day even up to today. This whole experience was the opening of more out of the body experiences but others happened at night while sleeping. I would see my soul moving from my body leaving behind my then 2 children and moving so fast into the upper realms. Sometimes there would be 2 forces pulling my soul from different sides like it was a tug of war. Whenever this happened, I would pray that God save me from the misery because the experience is not enjoyable and it is energy consuming and very scarry because most of the times when this happened, I would wonder if my soul was going to come back to the body or if that is the end of me. These episodes stopped after I gave my life to Christ. I am 36 years of age and I enjoy my sleep. 😁

her possession was too much and I clearly felt she is abusing my soul and holyness for her sexual pleasure.
I even started to suspected that maybe she is stalking me for real... So I decided to move to a region where many Christian and Catholic live, so I hope I will feel safer

I'm experienced the same, I'm Catholic as well, I know exactly which person who cursed or prayed something to my soul, after I experienced my soul left my body, I started to see that person's shadow and heard of her voice trying to take over my body, I believe she is not Catholic neither Christian, I first felt that that person cursed me or into some kind of cult because I felt like she is controlling my body, it is like obviously that person trying the best as she can to discard and distracted guardian and holy spirits coming from higher place... It is like she took my soul and she is so possessed, I even felt like her life and my life has been switched... I also saw my left soul, and she is abusing my left soul for sexual pleasure, i'm living in buddhist country, about 500 or 600 years ago, in this country Catholic and Christian have been murdered just because of religious differences.
It is like she is trying to despite something I pray for to protect myself, clearly it is the holy spirit or soul where I used to connected with other Catholic and Christian people I had within myself has been taken away by her, weird thing is she seems like a psychic person and often seemed to know things I never told her, so she is possessed... And before every time I feel full of holy spirits in me and surrounded me feeling strong, she often got scared of me, she is scare of holy power and holy blessing... I hope I will survive... More strange thing is this person was my former boss at a work, and at that work I was discriminated just because i'm Catholic (most of people at that work are non Christian and Non Catholic) I even thought that maybe she is in cult or something, it is horrify feeling I experienced that when I was sleeping I felt her and she was drilling the core of my body with her shutter spirits or something and I could felt her trying to possess in my body... I don't know what religion she is (I even suspected that she might be in cult), and her purpose of doing this to me, I even felt like she is crazy enough in her head that she wants to kill me or something...
I hope Jesus and God have eyes on me... All I can do is go to church everyday, but I feel like my left soul never comes back...

My uncle had a near death experience when he died for a few minutes on the operating table! His soul rose to the ceiling, and he saw his body on the op. Table, with all the doctors and nurses running around, trying to bring him back to life!... When he came back, the doctor told him: you died for a few minutes! My uncle said: no I didn't! I was up there! And I heard what you were saying to the nurse, and I saw that nurse go out of the room and come back in... And the doctor said: that's impossible! You were clinicall DEAD, and your eyes were CLOSED! So there IS life after death! (And when I told this story to my friend, he said his mother also experienced the same thing!) God bless!

Im interested in astral projection it could be astral projection out of body experience?

Hey man, I don't know all the specifics and details of your situation, What I can say is very similar situations have happened to me. Fealt like those dreams you can't wake up from and the feeling that your spirit might have left the building... Its a very unsettling thing but for my own personal experience, Faith, forgiveness, and the Light of God Almighty, the creator of everything is the route that I had to get on and am currently STILL holding onto in order to be free. Spiritual Warfare & Spiritual Abuse can happen to us by ways of not even knowing! God/jesus/love is key. In the end it all ties together and when our lives are lacking of it the can fall easy victim to those and other dangerous things. Remeber God is there for you no matter what. Stay strong & good luck!

It's also on me.
I meet so many strangers.
They are different from us (human). Sorry, it sounds ridiculous.
And, it seems when another person hear about it, they don't like to believe.
Thanks a lot, buddies...

Hello everyone who may read my post.
I don't even know if people still come here, since this post is kind of old, but just yesterday I had my first astral experience. It was quite terrifying and scary. I took a nap at about 4 pm, and I had a dream which was really realistic. My senses were way sharper than in any of my dreams, and I felt as though I am conscious (Lucid dreaming). I knew that the dream isn't real, but that did not surprise me because I had a ton of lucid dreams in the past. My dream just kept getting more and more ridiculous and boring, and I decided I wanted to wake up. I thought that the quickest way would be to try to move my body. I was lying faced down on the bed, and slowly started raising my spine. The second I started doing this my dream ended, and I was now hearing very, VERY loud vibration sounds. This scared me, so I started shaking my hand until I completely woke up. I believe I could use my hand because only a part of my back was out, not my whole body. I see number 33 very recently, and my brother is sometimes doing thelema rituals in the room I hang out in. I don't know how and if this is connected to the astral, but I hope someone had similar experience. If you did, send me message on my e-mail.I left the adress visible on my profile. Sorry if this was kind of long.

Hello, I had similar experiences too, so I thought it would be interesting to share it with you too. About a year ago I went to my bed on regular daily basis, and what happened after was terrifying and unforgettable. I was almost asleep when suddenly I saw bright light coming towards me, I also felt like hearing high pitched sound which level was rapidly increasing. I remember at that time I had a friend staying in my room, and once I tried to shout for a help, I felt like being paralised, I could not even take a breath or make a move, my heart with every second beated slower and slower until then, when light and sound sucked me in. Once it happened I felt anormous fear chaining my soul, as I was no longer in my body. It was weird, but at the same time as real as something I can not explain. I saw my room perfectly though I wasn't awake and there were three souls. Two at the back of the room, standing not far from the door and one just right next to my bed. I got really confused and frightened. Then one suddenly looked at me and asked, 'what is your name'. I was in such a shock, I didn't have what to say and my answer was, 'i will tell you my name once you'll tell yours first'. And then spirit said 'my name is Arturas'. And that is what scared me most. It was my name that spirit introduced itself with. I just felt how all surroundings started to blur and my heart started to beat. Suddenly I was flushed back in to my body and woke up being all sweaty and shaky. At the same time my flatmate woke up, he said he couldn't fall asleep and I asked if he can pass me the bottle of water because I wasn't feeling well. After an hour I tried to fall asleepp again and the same thing happened. Bright light coming towards me, highly pitched sound, and paralisation. This time I kept repeating, 'no, no, not again', and I passed out. But this time I woke up next days morning. After all that happened I coulnd not go to bed for about a week or so without having a fear that it might happen again. I didn't tell to anyone yet of what has happened, thought they will think I am a fool. But I am not. I know exactly what has happened, and it was real. No doubts. So that's my story. Now you all know. Hope you will share some thoughts of yours, or at least will give some good advices. Peace!

I have done this before and so has cousin's my friend. It is called spirit walking or at least that's what we have been heard it is called. It felt like someone was tearing my soul out of my body. I actually went all the way out of my body and walked around my house. When I was walking around my house I saw other spirits. One of them I saw was my dog that had past a few years ago. After I saw my dog I was very scared so I ran back to my body as fast as I could. Then next thing I knew I was awake lying on my bed breathing very heavily.

Dear JPR, first of all everybody suffer from this thing of soul leaving the body. Every night our spirits leaves our bodies to do things, most of us remember this vaguely in the form of a dream, some like you can do this in "awake" situation.
We don't die by this since we are connect by a sort of wire. Difference here is you remember the entire experience like some others has posted here. Pse note that the posting from create07. It is a very important one, everybody has a task to do usually to help others spirits (those still living in the body and others that are already in a after life situation), in his specific case he was late to help this group do his job.
Pse don't think as EricNielsen posted that everything is good in the other side, that is completely wrong since depending your feelings you can visit regions of much suffering, despair, depressed, sad and other bad feelings. Depending on your "tuning" you can go for good places and bad places.
Before you go somewhere, prey and prepare yourself mentally for work for good and only for good and work from heart and love in what you will do.

From what I read dmt might be the cause of the afterlife effects meaning that it might be a hallucination than a afterlife. Do you think afterlife is a hallucination or real?

hello! 😊 I am an indigo child and have recently been having constant out of body experiences, which is your spirit leaving your body and roaming around and so forth. I haven't actually had control over it like you have, but any time I have left nothing bad has ever come of it, you will always come back when you wake up. Sometimes you will be confused as to why you are where you are instead of where you were. (:

ive also had an experience like this... I felt it coming on. I know I must have sounded crazy but I told my friend "i feel like I'm going to shoot up into heaven/space/another dimension when I go to sleep". I was scared of the experience happening because it had never happened before. I put off going to sleep for a good while and when I finally went to sleep I felt the strange pull (vacuum like) the next thing I knew I was in a place of comfort and could feel the love within me as well as all around me. I was sitting at a table with several elders and everything was in its most perfect form. Highly pigmented and everything had a beautiful glow. They said to me kindly "you've lost 1 year/ Your a year late" When I asked why I all of the sudden woke up. I don't understand the meaning behind this and can only guess a few things. ❤

I wouldn't worry about your out of body experience trust me your not alone I have had them as well as many other different spiritual experiences which has intrigued me to find some answers but not really any available all guess work really the feeling of being pulled out of your body is just because those feelings are new to you it becomes less frightening the more these happen if you can manage to leave your body then remember that your not in human form no more you are a soul traveller so the second body as I call it is controlled by thought not by your muscles think about going somewhere and you will instantly move in that direction as for god pulling your soul out lol I think not I see god as the god force energy which is invisible to the naked eye but is everywhere omnipresent say I wouldn't worry you will be fine read up on a man called sylvan Muldoon he will explain better about soul travelling and there's also a book by albert taylor ph.d. Called soul traveller.

ive got the same experience twice. Was terribly scared and woke up forcfully...

Hold Fast!
Be encouraged, because at times we may feel alone but rest assured folks we most certainly are NOT alone. Yeah, theirs a fight going down but as it's stated multiple times it's already been won by our Lord Jesus Christ and his triumph over death.
I too have expierienced what each of you have and it's nothing to fret about. So stay your thoughts from going astray and thank God.

one cannot die before a pre destined time. The soul will only merge with the bigger consciouseness when it has worked out its karma. So don't be afraid. I have known many people who have had such experiences. They ascribe them to theirpast lives they have lived as hermits

The eastern philosophy says that we are the soul and not the body. The chief cause of sorrow is too much identification with the body. Or body consciousness. In western philosophy god and soul are separate entities whereas in eastern way of thinking this is called dualism. Soul and god are the same thing
.with the soul being as powerfull as god. This concept maybe hard to agree to. You may ask how can the soul be as big as god? God and soul are not bound by physical laws. Size is a physical phenomena.
Both god and soul are formless. Both are just pure consciousness.
We are bodies made of the five elements. And consciousness when added to the body makes it move. Like petroleum in a car making it go. But the petroleum is not the car and is not related to the car.petrol,when removed from the car won't miss the car. But rather move on with its job I.e move
another vehicle

well I believe you god is realy trying to take your soul. Like he did mine. Why don't no one believe that god can realy take soul out without you dieing? 😭 I haven't got my soul in my body right now an god is comunicating with me and knowone believe me.

Yes I have had this happen. God (jesus) is a God of sound mind and peace. NOT OF FEAR. EVIL INVOKES FEAR. This is evil oppression. Do not give to it. To overcome this, within your soul call the name "Jesus" and claim the "blood of christ" on your mind, body and soul. Rebuke whatever it is and tell it to do back to hell from which it came. Be firm and have faith. If you can not speak this out loud then speak it within your soul. For it is written, that you overcome evil with the blood of christ, your testimony and not fearing death of the body. If your soul belongs to Jesus Christ then nothing can ever take it. Stand strong and do not invite this in anyway ever again. For greater is he than is within you than he that is in the world. You are within a spiritual warfare that you can not see. Have faith and rebuke and claim the blood.

I am very confused... After sharing my experience here, I felt very uplifted for several hours... Then I began to feel unwell... And today I feel very confused as to why this happenned... Has anyone else had such an experience?

Hi jpr, I really appreciated your sharing about your experience. You are the first person I have heard share about such an experience... I too went something very similar... About 11 years ago, this one night while I was just sitting alone at home and feeling unable to cope with life. All of a sudden I felt like there was a huge vacuum cleaner in the sky, vaccuming myh life energy out of my body... It was happenning very fast and I knew that I would be dead by midnight... I called a friend for help and then another person at a support centre... No one could help me... So I just sat there and said very loudly, within myself..."If you want me here, you better do something" and just like that the energy came zooming right back into my whole body... In a flash. I was stunned and amazed. This was the first time I became clearly aware that there really is a life energy, giving me life... It really helped me to feel not alone. To this day, this experience gives me strength to keep living when I face major challenges. I know that I am not alone... I am directly connected to the source of life.

Hi JPR,

I read your story and thought that I would add a little information in the hope that it will help a little. First, you must understand that none of this has anything to do with you religiously. These experiences are of a mystical nature and are connected to all human beings regardless of their beliefs.

Another point that I wanted to make was that this is not your soul that you are experiencing--This is your astral body. With your astral body you explore the Kingdom of Heaven, in western religious terms. As the Soul you are in the Kingdom of God.

Don't get me wrong, everything is God therefore, everything is God's territory. Using the symbolism of the Tree of Knowledge; think of it as a dividing point between the two Kingdoms. This physical world is outside the Kingdom of God, in the Kingdom of Heaven. And if you were to leave your body and look around you may discover other realms to explore.

When you operate in the territories of the Kingdom of Heaven, you will have the ability to act as you do in this life. In other words, to decide to come and go and also analyze what is happening as you have your various experiences, etc. This will be the case regardless what higher realms or worlds you go to.

What you are experiencing in the astral world is not the Soul. To experience the Soul you have to be closer to God, so you would be on the other side of the symbolic Tree of Knowledge. In this territory you know you are your Soul because there, there is no you to remember or any memory of the world from which you came. When I say this, I mean NOTHING from this world comes with you over there. Not even your present concept of what God is comes with you to this place.

In the Kingdom of God, you just see mentally as a witness. You can't even analyze what is happening to you at the moment everything is taking place. Instead you must wait until you leave the Kingdom of God and return to the Kingdom of Heaven and this physical realm, to contemplate what had happened. In the Kingdom of God there isn't a sense of self. That you acquire at the symbolic Tree of Knowledge on your way back into the physical realms.

For future travels out of body, let your-self go and explore. Don't worry about dying. If you get to experience the Soul, as I have, you will see that the information we've received is true - the Soul which is our real Self, does last for an eternity.

Even if you leave your body and stay in your room, take advantage of the moment and just sit outside of your body and continue to meditate. Who knows, maybe that will help you to drop the astral body and finally experience yourself as the Soul?

I've had an out of body experience and your right it is scary. When I slammed back into my body, I nearly jumped two feet high out of my bed. Remember you are the creator as He has manifested himself as you. There isn't a real you, only the appearance of you, so there is nothing that can hurt you, but your imagination.

Believe this above statement and go learn about what's out there then find a way to help others to not be afraid of dying and death. Tell your stories and let everyone know that they will always be okay in life and in death.

Hello,
During sleep, I have also have left my body and went to various locations. The first time it happened it was very traumatic. I was in a dark van with someone who I did not know. I was there for a second when the man was shot and I could feel his pain and fear. I smelled the smell of cigerette smoke. When I woke up I could feel the pain and was gasping for air. I woke my husband to ask if he could smell the smoke. This happened at 2a.m. The next morning while watching the news I saw a story of a man in a speed radar van was murdered. They said the only evidence at the scene was the smell of cigerette smoke. The crime happened around 1:50a.m. I truly believe I astral projected and was there with this man.

Hello jpr,

What you have described has happened to me before as well. It ocurred about 6 years ago. Like you, I feel like I am a spiritual person and the more I progress on this journey the more in tune I become. One night I had awoken to find myself floating up to the ceiling, so close that I could see the tiny holes that are in the ceiling tiles. I wasn't scared, I didn't have time to be because I felt my conscious mind leaping into action saying "No no no" as if it were afraid I would die if my soul left the body. I felt pulled back into my body and this has never happened to me again. I know I wasn't dreaming. 100% sure of it. I believe we take these astral trips a lot more than we realize, we just aren't aware of it.
