How can one control their fear when having an out of body experience?

Question

I will leave out names for privacy reasons.
I have a friend who has had OBE's as a child, and has recently had another experience. She does not drink or do drugs.
She mentioned that in this recent experience, she felt no attachment to her body, and while viewing from across the room she witnessed a whole conversation her friend was having with her, yet she did not know who these people were. She felt no emotional attachment to her body.
The friend she was conversing with said she looked zoned out, then she snapped out of it, when this look of fear entered her eyes.
She asked if I could give her some insight, and I thought this would be a place to start.
She mentioned to me that these experiences come and go, and that she does not have any way to control it. Is there some type of training for this stuff.

Answer 1

Tell your friend this, that is not real! True, it happens sometimes. But it is better not to waste time about it. Becuase it might put her in danger. Remember this, someone might steal her body if she doesn't stop.

"There is nothing to fear but fear itself!" > this statement is 100% true. We are the ones who creates our fear. Your friend seems to be having the spiritual awakening. That is good. Let your friend answer this > WHO AM I?

Answer 2

No, but I know of those who have had this experience and it is dangerous. I'm talking about when you cause it to happen yourself, not when you have a NDE like when you had a bad accident or been very sick. Out of the body can actually cause death. I know of a young man who did this and he never returned to his body. His family found him dead in the attic after he told someone he was going to do this thing, but he wasn't planning on dying as far as anyone knows. The New AGers and the occult do this too in order to spy on people or force people to do bad things.

Answer 3

I myself have many OBE's. Some I start on my own which usually are very normal, but others just happen out of the blue and they can be very scary. I have yet to figure out how to stop the fear, I don't think it's possible. I've cried many times after an unwanted OBE, as your friend said, she feels no attachment, you can't feel anything, and you feel lost. You try to to scream sometimes, or even try to move to "snap out of it". The only thing I could suggest is to try to master your OBE's and try to make them voluntary that way you can somehow control the feelings that may come with them. I hope this helps.

Answer 4

I've never done any research on this, because it has never frightened me but once. This was when it was not "self induced." (By self induced, I mean a state in which I put myself without altering "chemicals.") In this case, I feel so incredibly serene & "other dimensional." Just once, for no reason I can possibly comprehend, I felt myself lifted out of my body, & I remember wanting desperately to get back. I could feel weightless, invisible arms grasping for the "body" sitting calmly with hands folded in my lap. The "merging" simply can't be described, but I WAS somewhat shaken, & so was my friend observing "the person sitting in the chair" whose eyes had absolutely no life in them. I hope someone gives some interesting links I can follow--it would be fascinating to know more about how this could just "happen."

Answer 5

I don't have any problems with OBEs. They can be rather enjoyable and often are instructive. I particularly like the flying and bouncing back to earth and lightly touching my toes to the earth and springing myself back into the air. I like running and taking long, slow motion leaps through the air. Oh! The colors and lights in the clear blue sky are delicious. When I awaken, I want to go right back to sleep so I can frolic with the butterflies and birds. Of course, it is a sleep fantacy but real, none-the-less. Don't fight it. Just enjoy it.

As to being instructive, I can watch myself in situations that are difficult and observe the results of "what if" thinking.

Answer 6

It is generally thought among scientists who study OBEs that they're caused at least in part by DMT. It's a recreational drug, true, but it also naturally occures in perfectly human beings. It's only released on the brink of death, although the possibility for it accidently being released at other times for select people is certainly possible. I suggest you tell her to research the chemical phenomena behind for NDEs and OBEs because in doing so that may take some of the mystery and fright out of them. If she understood that they're simply chemical reactions, she may be less apt to be scared.
