OOBE – Out of Body Experience – can be an extraordinarily spectacular and transformative experience. Discovering that our perception and presence are not limited exclusively to our physical body is one of the most remarkable and significant moments possible. However, those who have begun practicing OOBE sometimes encounter problems with controlling the phenomenon. Below I will describe several possible scenarios and offer advice on how to approach practicing and exploring reality outside the physical body more effectively.

Movement in OOBE

Those who have already experienced the state of being outside the physical body sometimes encounter a fundamental problem: controlling the course of the experience, specifically movement.

When we are in our astral body – our non-physical counterpart to the material body – we move not by muscular force but by thought: by intention. The problem is that sometimes the moment we think about going in a given direction, our astral body immediately shoots off that way. The inability to pause, reflect, and plan movement can be very disorienting and sometimes even frightening. In the physical world, we first think and then separately take action. In the astral body, thought is usually equivalent to action – so when we think of a direction, movement typically begins instantly.

Moreover, in the astral body we often move at great speed, especially when we think of distant places. The sensation of fast flight can also be disorienting, as can the absence of anything to slow us down. In the astral world we encounter no air resistance or anything else that would brake us. Until we reach our destination, we typically do not stop – and if the rapid flight frightens and disorients us, the thought of fast flight can contribute to its continuation and a complete sense of having lost control over the experience.

This is precisely why it is worth knowing about this and trying to remember that our will, our intention, and our focus on a given goal or direction are what produce this movement. If we can recall this at the right moment, we can regain control over the experience.

However, a much easier way to practice non-material exploration using our extrasensory perception is to begin with Remote Viewing. Remote Viewing techniques enable equally effective exploration of non-physical reality, while during the practice we maintain full contact with our physical body and explore through focused mental attention. For those who wish to develop non-material insight but have trouble controlling OOBE, I recommend Remote Viewing as a more comfortable approach – one in which the challenge of losing control over movement in the non-physical world simply does not arise, because we can practice while retaining a sense of control and security through our preserved connection to the physical body.

Frequency of OOBE

Those who practice OOBE mostly notice that it is not an easy phenomenon to trigger on demand. On average, OOBE succeeds roughly once in every dozen or so attempts – and that is assuming a person has the predisposition for it at all. There are of course exceptions, and individuals who achieve OOBE far more frequently do exist, but the majority of people can only dream of succeeding once in every dozen attempts, often not even reaching that threshold.

Many factors influence the frequency of OOBE: rest, sleep quality, psychological factors such as one’s beliefs and fears, the current state of the astral space around us, and the energy level of the astral body at a given time. As a result, although greatly desired, OOBE can be induced far less often than one would wish.

If frequency is the problem, then Remote Viewing can again be a more effective alternative. With appropriate training, Remote Viewing gives us the ability to achieve greater or lesser results on practically every attempt. Some Remote Viewing sessions are more spectacularly successful, others yield only a few pieces of information – but the process itself can be initiated practically at any time and under any conditions.
