  1. An out-of-body experience (OBE or sometimes OOBE), is an experience that typically involves a sensation of floating outside of one's body and, in some cases, perceiving one's physical body from a place outside one's body (autoscopy). About one in ten people has reported having an out-of-body experience at some time in their lives.[1] Scientists know little about the phenomenon.[2] OBEs are often part of the near-death experience, and reportedly may also lead to astral projection. It is claimed that those experiencing an OBE sometimes observe details which were unknown to them beforehand.[3]

    In some cases the phenomenon appears to occur spontaneously; in others it is associated with a physical or mental trauma, use of psychedelic drugs, or a dream-like state. It is possible to induce the experience deliberately, for example through visualization while in a relaxed, meditative state. Recent (2007) studies have shown that experiences somewhat similar to OBEs can be induced by direct brain stimulation. Relatively little is known for sure about OBEs.[2] Some of those who experience OBEs may have willed themselves out of their bodies, while others found themselves being pulled from their bodies (usually preceded by a feeling of paralysis). In other accounts, the feeling of being outside the body was suddenly realized after the fact, and the experiencers saw their own bodies almost by accident.[4]

  2. Yes, very much so.

  3. Yes, I had this experience when I was seeing a counselor back in the 90s. It's quite the trip...I saw everything,it was like I left my body and was looking down at my counselor and myself, I was crying....It was a really strange feeling...but cool at the same time...after I had my wits about me, she and I  talked about what happened, i actually questioned her as to what had happened...I had a breakthrough in our sessions...which trigured the outer body experience...Needless to say...counseling is done...I'm glad to say I experienced it...
