I woke at 4am after a deep sleep in my new home many miles
from where I used to live. Wondering if
I’d still be able to get OOB (since I hadn’t consciously tried in many weeks),
I put forth the intention to travel ‘to where I need to learn” with the affirmations
“out of body NOW!’ and “my mind remains aware as my body falls asleep”. Both of these affirmations are my favorite to
use, repeated over and over as I get drowsy.
Immediately I am aware of a floating sensation and get excited
to think I can still get out! I roll
back and forth and with a defiant ‘umph’ I roll off the bed and find myself
standing!
Thrilled to be OOB once again, I remembered approximately
where the door was in my new room, and affirmed ‘to the door!’ moving in that
general direction, knowing if I wasn’t accurate, I’d just pass through the wall.
What I was shocked to find, was the sensation of hitting a
wall…hard! I can still remember the sensation of feeling the wall next to my
face and body! I couldn’t get out!!
Immediately I affirmed, “take me to where I need to learn!”
so that there could be some movement and direction to my experience.
I found myself floating back to my bed! However, the scene
quickly changed and I was aware of a commotion in an adjoining room. There
seemed to be some sort of shooting or disturbance in that area where people
were running away from this man.
I immediately felt a sense of fear, worried that I would be
harmed and quickly rolled off the bed to the side to hide. However, I was unable to ‘sink’
low enough to avoid being noticed.
I knew this man saw me, and I was in his sights. That is when I realized what I needed to learn
with this experience. There can be NO
fear, and facing fear with the complete knowing that you cannot be harmed while
OOB is a key factor that I needed to remember.
As soon as I faced him, sent love his direction I felt
peace. I also immediately woke up with a
sense of concern for these other people, but thrilled to know I was still able to
get out of body and face my fears.
Sadly, I was shocked to hear on the news this morning that there
was a shooting massacre in a church in my city last night. I do not know if this experience was in some
way related or not, but my thoughts and prayers for peace go out to all those
affected by this tragedy.
