Out-of-Body Experience Through Meditation
And how it’s different to the one induced through drugs.
I have been meditating every day for more than a year. Without a fail everyday I come to my meditation pillow.
Some days I am more eager, some days I don’t feel like it at all. Some days I am in a rush, some days I have plenty of time and go beyond my usual 30 minutes. Some days I feel really connected, at other times I am quite anxious.
But it doesn’t matter, I am committed.
Meditation hasn’t failed me either. There wasn’t yet a time when I meditated and felt like I shouldn’t have. I always feel calmer and more focused afterwards.
I have experimented with all kinds of meditation — guided, mantra, mindfulness, silent, transcendental, mirror meditation, visual, inner child. Whatever one there is, you name it, I’ve tried it.
Eventually I figured out which ones work best for me and got pretty good at recognizing which one I need on which day, so sometimes I switch them up.
Yesterday morning something profound happened. I woke up and felt like I needed to be with myself. I made breakfast, had a shower and climbed on my meditation pillow. Yet this time I didn’t pick up my phone, look at the time, choose a meditation routine for today…
