CREATING YOUR OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE

Edgar Cayce spoke in detail of the possibility for your Conscious Mind to leave your body, as your etheric double, and visit other locations and time experiences, both on the planet and off the planet. Can this actually be done and has anyone truly experienced this phenomena? The answer is YES! The great yogis teach that with meditation, concentrating on Chakra balancing, and directing your energies, anyone can have this experience at will. However, there are spiritual rules that must be adhered to.

This experience has various terms, such as soul travel, astral travel, out-of-body experience and working with your etheric double. Don’t confuse these terms with the near-death experience, as they are NOT the same.

The Egyptian Book of the Dead as well as the Tibetian Book of the Dead, describe an individuals “ka”, “Chi” or spirit energy, which can separate from its physical body and be directed elsewhere. The Bible has at least one reference to astral travel in II Corinthians 12:2-5. St. Paul actually used the phrase out of body, in describing a man he once knew.

“I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago. (Whether he was in the body or out, I cannot tell. God knoweth:) such as one caught up in the third heaven.

And I knew such a man (whether in the body or out, I cannot tell. God knoweth:).

How that he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

Of such a man I will glory, for he is truly close to God. Yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.”

In the late 1880’s the Theosophical Society, led by the renowned spiritualist Madame Blavatsky, claimed to regularly have out-of-body experiences. America’s most celebrated prophet, Edgar Cayce, also routinely entered into a trance state where his astral body could span both time and space. He learned information instantaneously, from ancient Egypt, Atlantis, as well as in present time, by diagnosing people’s ailments from several thousand miles away.

This is an art I have mastered over the years. I have been practicing “long distance healing” since I was a small child. (Before five years of age.) All I need is the name of the person, their location and birth date, and amazing information will come through the ethers into my mind. There process also revealed time events, years they will take place, as well as the location of our dearly departed loved ones on the other side. One can communicate with parents, children and loved ones on the other side at will, with the proper training.

At one time I was giving a reading to a woman in Australia, while I was living in New York City. I suddenly asked her how she liked her new golden retriever dog, which she had purchased in August of 1998. There was NO WAY that information could have been learned beforehand, as we were both strangers. To her shock, she acknowledged purchasing a golden retriever last August and wondered how I knew? I also “felt” it was a female. The dog’s etheric self came to visit me for a petting. It was great!

Astral projection can be mastered by two individuals simultaneously. It is certain that this phenomena exists within identical twins, who have a higher vibration between each other as they have the same DNA and cell structure. (I am one of two sets of identical twins in my family!) A couple who live a long distance apart can visit each other, through the mind or while on the phone, or computer, and embrace each other, while both are fully aware of what is going on.

There was a time I was thinking of a lover early one Sunday morning, and wanted to know where he was. As I began to meditate on his energies, instantly I knew he was on an airplane coming home from Montreal, Canada. I was a real pest to him for a few minutes on the astral plane, and asked through telepathy, for him to give me a call when the plane landed. This was around 8:00 am and the call came in at 12:30 pm. He told me he knew I was thinking of him because suddenly he felt warm all over, and then the stewardess’ face became mine to him. Strange? Not at all!

You can use your astral energies to find a new lover or Soulmate. As a matter of fact, these energies can be used for many types of manifestation. You can enjoy a dual life, one with the husband or wife you are married to, and another with Michelle Pfieffer or any other one you may choose on the Astral plain. However, this may not be too healthy for you. I believe these energies should be used with discernment.

One can learn the art of astral projection through meditation and study. This is part of what I teach at my spiritual retreats. We can travel together as a group, or one can travel individually to have their own experience. You can journey to other localities, enter the body of animals to see how this feels and to gain a better understanding of life, as well as sending a strong healing energy to other humans. (Never try to put your energies inside another human being, but rather wrap them in the white light of universal love and the green light of healing energies, so they can absorb these energies as needed.) When using the guided meditation, Chakras for Your Body, you will open up and balance your energy fields to begin this wonderful experience.

Astral Travel for Beginners

• Sit down in a comfortable chair with both feel flat on the floor, uncrossed.
• The room should be semi-dark, telephone unhooked, warm and comfortable. Make sure you will not be disturbed, as this could cause you physical harm.
• Take several deep breaths, eight to sixteen. Then allow yourself to become relaxed and return to normal, rhymatic breathing.
• Begin to concentrate on your Solar Plexus, and feel your etheric self begin to depart from within you.
• Start thinking of your desire to travel astrally, focusing on the location and time/year you wish to travel to.
• Remain quiet, confident that you will allow your other self to leave your body. Trust in your Higher Self and your Guides, who may accompany you.
• Then, begin your inner dialogue with your Etheric Self. “I choose to leave my body now and to travel to my desired destination. I am ready to leave my body. My Astral Self is ready to travel. I desire to leave this room NOW!”
• Wait several minutes, then begin the dialogue again. Do this for at least an hour, unless you begin to feel the movement. At that time, begin to concentrate on the experience without fear.
• If you are successful, your body will begin to vibrate and you will find yourself free of it, attached only by the silver cord. You can rise yourself up and look down upon your body, safely sitting in the chair. Now you are able to travel to any place, era or planet you choose, at will, through using your telepathic thoughts. (This is a good technique to help with body pain.)
• Remember, you will come back to your body instantly if there is fear, or if you declare it while traveling. Do not be frightened. You will always be able to return to your body. You will never get lost in space.
• If you are unable to disengage your etheric self from your body after a few tries, practice the Chakra Meditation tape daily for seven days, then go for a brisk walk before the out-of-body meditation. Reflect on the spiritual progress that you have made thus far, and on how many of your inner perceptions have changed. Love yourself! Trust the process. Continue to remain optimistic about your future astral travel trip. Return from the walk and begin the exercise again.
• Doing this exercise with three or more people will help the energies become stronger.
• If you are unsuccessful, continue trying each day, and be sure to keep a journal of your experiences. Watch how your psychic energies will open up for you.

Week of April 27th through May 3rd
Air, Fire, Water and Earth

We are all stepping into higher values for spring. Since last summer the focus has been on the eclipses, retrograde planets, three of the main planets changing signs, as well as the several retrograde planets. All of this heavy energy leads us to restructuring our lives and ourselves. Saturn goes direct on Friday allowing us to move forward with plans that were incubated last August-September. Although this restructuring of our plans and lives is not complete (in fact they are just sprouting) it is wonderful that Spring has brought us the ability to take a break and review. Now, and coming in May, it is time for us to rejuvenate. Saturn and Pluto are in harmonious relationship, along with Jupiter, through the Summer Solstice in June. You are able to become crystal clear as to where your energy should be focused and used. Pluto’s action, and Mercury retrograde on May 26th, will help you to finally release that which has been a drain on you. During the remainder of April through mid-May the quick moving inner planets create a Grand Trine in Earth which promises to bring practical help to your efforts. The promise is that you will receive tangible help and assistance in transforming your life while empowering your plans to move ahead. You are putting your power into the activities that will help you to succeed in this world.

Of course, this is made easier for you if you are willing to release the clutter in your life, be it physical health, emotional partnerships, or your daydreams and illusions. On a spiritual level you will be called to a higher level of integrity. You are asked to choose an enlightened set of values and then take action based on those revised values. Knowing that when you work through the higher planes in this life, you are shielded by the light and protected from harm, you can find your way back to the Source; but you must be willing to go beyond the outer appearances in your life, allowing your inner compassion and beauty to shine. The point of all of this great energy is that now is the time to focus on those energies that connect you with the Divine Source. You will be happier in the long run, no matter what problems or upsets you are facing. Saturn and Pluto will not support illusions, addictions, shallowness or your inner lies. When Mercury retrogrades on May 26th your mind automatically goes back over the past, and will help you to connect while opening your mind to new possibilities.

It may seem as if many people are leaving the planet (Key leaders included) between May 1st and November 26th, which is a part of transformation. These energies described are creating a global transformation and believe me, all the rules are about to change!

The Air Signs
Gemini - Libra – Aquarius

You may feel like Two Sides of the Coin. (Which way should I go?) It seems as though you are operating on both the material side of life and the more subtle, spiritual side too. Pluto and Saturn are helping to attune you to some spiritual truths. These are the kind of truths that are not illusions, but that have a profoundly practical basis. The trick is to take this knowledge out into the world and to use it in everyday life, as by doing so, it will grow and develop more powerfully. You seem to be busy at home making arrangements for work on the house or perhaps for other reasons. If you work from home, the week ahead will be especially fruitful and you will have plenty of opportunity to make great progress. Monday is great for entertaining, but it might be even more warm and friendly from Wednesday onward, when Venus moves into Taurus. Monday is better for business associations and the second half of the week for friends and family occasions. With the arrival of Venus in Taurus, (it’s ruling sign) you will want your home to look beautiful, so you may decide to splash on some color, both inside and out, to make it so. When Saturn turns direct your current financial situation begins to get back on track over the coming weeks.

The Fire Signs
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

How are you feeling today? Are you Fit and Healthy Fire Signs? It’s time to take a closer look at your health and overall wellbeing, and to upgrade your daily fitness routine. If you don’t have one, then now is a good time to make a start. You may want to look into ways of exercising that will bring you the most benefits. Do the same for your diet as well. Discipline is the key, as it may be all too easy to give into temptation and give up too easily. Start slowly and build up, and soon it will become a way of life. At work, you are focused on getting the message across in whatever way is appropriate. Meetings go well on Monday, so try to book any important appointments for this time. Tuesday is not quite so hot, as there are confusing factors which may get in the way of true clarity and arguments may occur as a result. Venus moves into Taurus on Wednesday, which may encourage you to be a bit lazy, eat more and give way to temptation when you can’t really afford to do so. Saturn turns direct on Friday, which means that after backtracking for some time, you can now make progress at work and with key relationships once again. You may find it hard to resist making one compulsive purchase, even if it is for wholly practical reasons. Go easy now!

The Water Signs
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Time to speak from the heart, water signs. Talking and communicating, as well as writing and analyzing your thoughts, are all part of your focus this week. Monday is an especially exciting day in which one meeting may bring luck and good fortune your way. Whatever the situation, dive in and take advantage of the good vibes. If you have a busy schedule, then try not to plan anything too important for Tuesday, as you may find that it does not go quite as you hoped. It looks like you have a creative diversion in store, which may work in your favor, or not. Try to organize your papers and deal with any administrative or legal work, as you will be in the right frame of mind to do so. Clear out clutter and give yourself space to come up with new and exciting ideas. New love affairs have spark and some life about them. You may be actively pursuing someone in a rather roundabout way. Internet affairs may prove to be a welcome distraction and a valid part of your love life, especially from Wednesday onward, when Venus moves into Taurus. Your long-term relationship may be moving through a period of stalemate, but Saturn turns direct on Friday, which should help you to make some positive progress within long-term relationships.

The Earth Signs
Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn

You may be feeling a sense of release now, Earth Signs. The good news is that Saturn turns direct in your sign at the end of the week. You may not notice the difference right away, but you will over the weeks ahead. You will not feel quite so bogged down in your own fears or quite so isolated. It will seem as though the world is rushing out to meet you once again. You will be more motivated to try out new ideas, rather than having to go back over issues and projects that you have already worked on before. It may be a revelation to notice how much easier life becomes. In the meantime, the Cosmos are encouraging you to reach out mentally and physically, and to explore all the possibilities you have available. If you have not been on a vacation for a while, this is a great time to think about going on one. Even if you have to book a last-minute deal, when you get away, you will relish the chance to see life from a different perspective. Above all, you will very much enjoy the chance to relax, which you need so much. Don’t deprive yourself! It will help you to re-stoke the fires of your creativity. From the end of the week onward, research your career options. Smile, be happy, it pays!
