I believe you can target specific places but it takes a lot of focus. A while ago one of my friends gave me an open invite to visit her house oob, with the idea I would then tell her about placement of certain objects in her house - like if she left a magazine on the table things like that .

One time, I was oob, tried to do this, took off flying through the streets of my town, saw some guy flying around, and went over to him to ask if he was oob too, and ended up completely sidetracked and eventually being sucked back in body.

Another time I made it to her front door, and started laughing thinking about how tripped out she was going to be the next day when I came out with details of things in her house, and obviously got a bit too hyper coz that was the end of that one. Doh, so close but so far.

The only other time (leaping to mind anyway) that I have deliberately made an effort to go to a particular place (excluding failed attempts, changing location in my immediate vicinity, or back home) was when I wanted to see if there really was a library in the spirit realms. It took me 4 days of attempts, but finally I was standing before the most magnificent, absolutely huge, white marble building. It had columns and recessed arches the entire length of it, and in each of the arch's stood monumental sized white marble statues. Of course I can't state this building factually exists, but I believe this was exactly what I took it to be, ... but doh, again I was so overawed by it I never made it in the door to check for books ...lol.

I really do need to calm myself down if I want to get anywhere don't I ? ..lol

Astral Travelling proves the existance of a Spirit Body or Astral Body. You can also prove the existance of other realms by actually visiting them and then even prove the existance of life after death by contacting spirits. Religion usually relies on faith alone, yet with Astral Travelling you actaully find out for yourself. Read "Journeys out of your Body" by Robert Monroe. Open your mind that things probably exist that haven't yet been proven as fact.

Hi, I have been wanting to experience an oobe for so long but always fall asleep. I've read so many books on the subject that it is a very high priority on my bucket list. I am 60 y.o.a. and feel my time is running out for this to happen. Everyone say's it's so real - as real as I am sitting here now typing. There are many reasons I want this but proving life after death to myself and to experience other worlds, etc. are the main reasons.

I have had several times when I have awoken barely at night and I couldn't move my body but I was aware of that and began to panic a little (almost all the time) but I understand that if I could wrap my mind around this I could use it to lift out of my body if I could wake my mind - I just can't seem to do that. I have a very difficult time sleeping on my back and everything I read say's that's the position I need to be in - in order to get out of my body. I envy those of you that are able to do an oobe. Can someone please tell me if I need to be on my back and while body asleep, mind partially awake are there any tricks to wake up my mind more in order to think straight enough to try and lift out. thanks so much.

Im with Vi, its what Ive always known too,
I totally freaked out the first time I sat on the side of my bed then looked to see myself sleeping in the bed, I loved it though and enjoy all my adventures sinse

My first conscious experience with astral travel gave me a new perspective about this existence. As I stood outside my body, which was dormant on the bed, I felt such compassion for the entity. I realized that this person was dealing with the challenges of the physical existence to the best of her ability. I also remembered that I had an existence that was not influenced by the experiences of the entity that I was observing. The OBE gave me compassion for the one who was in the physical realm. It also increased my understanding of existence.

That's interesting earth trip, ..looking at my body whilst I am out of it provokes about as much emotion as I would get looking at a shoe. I just care nothing for it, ..it's not me, ...I'm the person standing there looking and thinking.

Nice to hear a variable tho - am wondering now what others think when seeing their bodies whilst out of them. Hopefully we can get a few people to share.

Hi everyone,

I love this topic and I really want to learn more about it and how to do it. I wholeheartedly believe in spirit and life on other planes, I don't think I could live not believing that. For those who can do this, it must add such a fantastic quality and depth to your physical existence. I just wanted to ask, by visiting other planes, can you walk around as though you were actually in spirit and see it like they do? Also, can you plan to meet certain people and loved ones that have passed over and have conversations with them ?

many thanks

firstly for the ones who have had trouble try this website:

I personally (as far as i know) don't think i've had an OBE. I actually don't think i've tried..
The other day i was informed that one of my friends astral traveled into my room.
He told me that he saw many many spirits in my room... two which were recognisable..
One was a man standing near my bed overlooking me, that one he's heard whilst talking to me on audio through ***... the other was a little girl who once he saw on webcam next to me and thought she was a real person...
Anyway he told me that the person he was doing astral travel with (or that helped him and his friends) pushed on their stomachs or something and holding your breath had something to do with it? (anyone know??) he said something about the spirits if they saw you or something and the possibility of death if you stayed unconcious over 10 or 15 seconds... im confused and i just wanted to see if there's any 'rules' as such?
Im worried if i do try to astral travel because of all the spirits around because i've heard that they can take over your body if you dont have someone watching over it or something??
Can someone help me please debunk this and tell me the truth from fiction?
