The web defines an out of body experience as being a dis-associative experience of observing oneself from an external perspective as
though your mind or soul had left the body.
Some people try to trigger this with external items such as mind
altering drugs or have had it happen as in near death experiences.
When I was a child, around 12 or thirteen I told my mother
that I didn't feel well. I had been sick
for a few days and but not enough to manage a doctor’s visit. I remember feeling very very hot. I was sweating. I got up from my bed and looked back down at
my body lying there. My separate self
got up and walked into the back of our mobile home and watched my parents
sleeping.
I could hear my body tossing and turning. I was crying.
I called out to my mother to turn off the heat, my separate self watched
my mother raise her head and yell, go to sleep.
My separate self went back to the bed room and rejoined my body.
The following day I continued to tell my mother I didn't
feel well. She was having a dinner party
and I had a friend staying over. The
friend came over and I just wanted to lay in the bed. My mother made me get up and walk about ½ mile
to the local grocery store for a loaf of bread.
When I got to the store I passed out and my friend asked the station to
call my house. My mother sent someone to
get us and when I got back home I went into my room and fell on the bed. Again my separate self left my body. I could see flames come up around all the
sides of my bed. I could see my friend
sitting next to the bed complaining that I wasn't up playing.
I remember I was hot, I was so hot. I wanted a friend of the family come in and
sit beside my body. She laid her hand on my head and gasped. She yelled for my mother to come in and they
rushed me to the hospital. I was admitted
to the hospital with double pneumonia. I
was extremely dehydrated and apparently delusional.
To this day I remember how at ease I felt floating around my
house and watching all the excitement. I
remember seeing my unconscious body on the bed and wondering if I was actually
dead. I remember feeling happy.
I didn't see a bright light, or hear any voices calling me
to the light. I just remembered finally
feeling at peace. I never had another experience like that again. It was pretty
amazing.
Namaste
