4. Re-entry Stage. Re-entry—the reintegration of the subtle energy-body and the physical body—automatically occurs by simply thinking about the physical body. On occasion, during re-entry the integration of the two bodies is accompanied by temporary vibrations, numbness, and catalepsy. These sensations quickly fade as we become reunited and in phase with our physical body. Four Steps to Success The first step to a successful, self-controlled out-of-body experience is to remain mentally and emotionally calm as you begin to recognize any form of movement or shift in your awareness. Your ability to remain calm is essential for achieving and maintaining any degree of control when out-of-body. The initial sensations associated with out-of-body experiences can be startling to the beginner. This is especially true if you are unprepared for the experience. Many times this excitement is caused by the intense sensations and sounds that may occur just before and during separation. Some people become so excited or startled by these inner sounds and sensations that they immediately think of their physical body. This causes an instant “snap back” into the physical. The key is to welcome the unusual vibrations and sounds and to remain as calm as possible. The second step is to incorporate the habit of automatic self-control. Whenever you experience any sensations or sounds associated with out-of-body exploration, immediately begin to encourage these feelings or sounds to expand throughout your being. For example, if you experience an intense buzzing sound or unusual vibrational feeling, immediately begin to encourage the sensation or sound to spread. Focus your complete attention on the enjoyment of your new, higher vibratory rate. Then, mentally encourage the vibratory sensations or sounds to immerse your entire being. The third step is to direct yourself away from your physical body. This is easily accomplished by a verbal or mental internal dialogue that directs and maintains you away from your physical body. For example, “I’m floating up”, or “I’m becoming lighter and lighter” or “I’m now moving to my living room (or backyard, or any other location away from your body).” Any phrase that directs and separates you from your physical body will be effective. Remember not to think of, or mention, your physical body in any way, shape, or form. Even random thoughts directed to your physical body can cause an abrupt return. The fourth step is to maintain your focus entirely away from your physical body. The easiest way to achieve this is to temporarily forget about your body and become completely involved in the new environment you are experiencing. The success and duration of your out-of-body experience will depend utterly upon your focus of attention. Thoughts or feelings related to your physical body will instantly snap you back into it. Always remember, we are powerful, non-physical beings currently inhabiting a temporary vehicle of flesh. Our ability to control our out-of-body experiences is a natural part of our personal development. Each experience is an exciting adventure of discovery. In effect, we are exploring and rediscovering our true identity and home. Recognizing and Responding to the Vibrational State Internal vibrations and sounds often indicate an approaching non-physical experience. I refer to the inner sounds and vibrations as the vibrational state. These vibrations commonly begin at the back of the neck and then spread rapidly through the entire body. They are often accompanied by numbness and a buzzing or humming sound. According to an extensive national out-of-body study conducted by Dr. Stuart Twemlow in 1979, 55 percent of the 339 participants reported “a sense of energy” during their out-of-body experiences. In addition, 50 percent stated that they felt vibrations in their bodies and 38 percent that they heard noises in the early stages of their experience. The most commonly reported noises were buzzing (29 percent), roaring (19 percent), and music or singing (16 percent). In the beginning it’s helpful to notice any inner signals you experience during sleep or dreams and as you are waking. Pay close attention to any unusual vibratory feelings or sounds, even if they are subtle. Many people routinely experience vibrational sensations and sounds but disregard them as dream-related or as unexplained physical phenomena. Your recognition of and response to these sensations and sounds will, many times, determine how successful your separation process becomes. Some people are so startled by the sensations and sounds that they think of their physical body. This causes an instant return to the physical. Your positive reaction to the initial sensations and sounds associated with out-of-body exploration will help you take advantage of every opportunity to separate from your physical body and experience the ultimate adventure, The more knowledgeable and prepared you are, the more successful you are likely to be. Recognizing and responding to the vibrational state is an important step in your preparation. The following list may help you identify the inner signals associated with the initial phases of an out-of-body experience. • Buzzing, humming, or roaring sounds. • Unusual tingling or energy sensations. • Voices, laughter, or your name being called out. • Heaviness or sinking. • Numbness or paralysis in any part of your body. • Weightlessness or spreading lightness. • Any internal vibrations out of the norm. • Electrical-like sense of energy. • Footsteps or other sounds of a person’s presence. • Internal rocking, spinning, or movement of any kind. • Arms or legs lifting while you are asleep. • Surge of energy flowing through your body. • Any noise out of the norm: wind, engine, music, bells, and so on. Currently, several theories address the cause and nature of the vibrations associated with out-of-body experiences. Based on my experience, I believe that the vibrations are the direct result of the higher frequency, non-physical body separating from (moving out of phase with) the physical body. I’ve reached this conclusion because the intensity of the vibrations 39
