Sounds like an out of body experience brother! I've never had one but it sounds like fun. My dad who is in his 80's has had them all of his life. I've been practicing TM for 35 years and I've been a SIDHA for 21. Astral projection and quantum jumping are some of the experiences some people get and some can control. Not me. So count yourself very lucky and make the most of the experiences when you can.

So you've been trying to repeat the experience. That was the astral body, usually, this state is achievable during deep trance from which other things can be utilized, psychic reading, and other paranormal activities.
Have you been abducted by Aliens as a child? Or more recently? Do you remember?

Hi THIRDEYE
Congratulations! I have recently experienced a very similar thing and am still trying to sort it out - Jake
was a great help. In a nut shell - I was meditating (a beginner) and suddenly felt a deep and unmistakeable
vibration in my naval area which spread quickly to my limbs. I then felt myself lifting off my bed; near ten inches or so. I was hovering effortlessly - plank style. It felt very surreal as I have never levitated before. I watched first one leg rise up - then come down. Then my other leg rise up and come down.. then both at the same time. I thought it looked rather funny and remember laughing but I had no idea why they were doing that - I also had no control of them. All this was interrupted by the presence of two beings (not really sure what to call them) to the right of the bed.

Congratulations! OBEs are so much fun...don't be afraid and keep trying, you'll be amazed at the things you discover about the true meaning of who you are. Books by Robert Monroe and William Buhlman were a huge help when I started! Again, CONGRATS!! :)

You seem to have lived a very nice experience. I will wish this for every one out there.

Love too you all!

I had a somewhat similar experience a few nights ago, not quite sure if it was astral projection or not though.
I was doing some third eye meditation for about 15-20 minutes before bed.
I proceeded to try and fall asleep but i couldn't so i started to do some more while laying down.
All of a sudden i was moving toward the blackness (hard to explain as everything was black)
I tried rolling over and once I did it felt like i was floating upwards, this only lasted a few seconds and then i woke up laying on my back, one of the coolest experiences I have ever had!:)
I wish i was able to actually see rather then pitch blackness.
Could someone try explaining what it was that I experienced?
Thank you, much appreciated!

Thanks for posting Jake's awesome OOBE thread Shamz, it should be required reading for anyone experiencing this.

Congratulations on your experience THIRDEYE! Awesome huh? Don't worry about not having much control, practice makes perfect. It's very similar to the process of learning to crawl, then walk, and then run. Of course this is the bonus round, so you get to learn to fly!

Oh, just for grins, enjoy going through a wall or the roof for the first time...:lol:

Cheers,
Fred

I have been meditating for many years since I was 15 when I had my first experience while living in Arizona. As a child and into my teenage years, I used to have these altered states hit me where I would be in two places at once. I would be looking through my eyes, but at the same time floating a few feet above myself. This would occur sometimes at school or home. I told my parents about it and they took me to the doctor who ran all sorts of tests on me only to find nothing. It wasn't until later that I discovered it was a gift. In the early to mid 1980's my father was researching spiritual information, crystals and ufos. He was the one who suggested that I start meditating. At first nothing seemed to work and many months went by. Then one evening I had the altered state feeling hit me after holding my meteorite that had been in my family for 100 years. I told my dad I was having that feeling again. He told me to meditate. So I did. I laid in my bed and surround myself with white light in my minds eye. As I learned, your mind starts going off sing a song or thinking about something you did earlier in the day. I focused by using a mantra to clear my mind. Then all of a sudden I felt like I was falling, I was scared at first but I told myself not to be afraid. Then the next thing I knew I could not long feel my legs or arms and I was traveling through purple rings in a slow moving roller coaster feeling. I looked in the distance and saw what looked liked a star. As I came closer, the star turned into a white lotus flower. All of a sudden this wonderful feeling of love and warmth came over me. Words fail to describe it. The best I can say is Bliss. I remember saying that I did not want to leave and then I heard a voice, not mine, tell me that I must go. I then flew backwards through the rings and watched the Lotus flower turn into a star and then disappear. I came out of the meditation with tears running down my cheeks and a giddy feeling. I told my dad what happened and he shared an experience he had. Since then I have experience many things and have learned to leave my body at will. When I initiate to leave the body I call it a shimmering. Once I have surrounded myself with white light and cleared my mind, I start at my feet and have then move back in forth in my mind, not physically. I then move up to my legs completing the same process. At that point the shimmering takes over and I do not have go any further up my body or do anything further. Once the shimmering occurs then the real meditation take places. We are all capable of leaving our bodies and experiencing a wonderful and loving universe. So Thirdeye keep at it and let things happen on there own. It is truly wonderful.

Thanks for sharing your experiences Peace4all and Maknocktomb - very interesting. I too experienced going through colored, spiraling rings (tunnel) and being engulfed in yellow light. As you said there are no human words to accurately describe the overwhelming love and warmth - pure Bliss. I also heard a
voice - was spoken to and didn't want to leave but knew I must. Good luck Peace4all - you are doing just fine :)
..oh and Fred - if given a choice - I choose the roof; unaccompanied ! :thumb:
