#1 In the early 1970's I practiced Yoga and meditation very diligently.

Also at that time, my sister and I had been reading and talking about Astral Projection. On a whim, I called her at work one day and said, “I'm going to try to astral project to you, because you will know if it's me and visa versa.”

I went into a deep meditation and concentrated on seeing my sister. I fell asleep and when I awoke, I thought I had a dream. I called her and told her, “I dreamed I went into an office where a heavy-set woman with short dark hair sat at a desk. I then asked her where I might find my sister and she told me to walk around the corner to the next office.”

That was all I remembered. My sister said, “That sounds like 'Kaye' (whom I had never met or heard of before) that I work with. She’s the Receptionist and her desk is, in fact, 'is around the corner' from my own office.”

I really wasn't sure at the time if I was dreaming or had actually had an OBE; because, I wasn't conscious while out of my body at that time.

#2 This experience was after the Astral Projection class in California at the Gnosis Center. I had been practicing the techniques they gave us for about 2 weeks.

I was in hypno-sleep (in between sleep and wakefulness) and I rolled out of bed. At first, I thought I was actually falling out of bed, but then, my feet went through the floor...so I knew I was out of my body.

So then I floated up to the ceiling, and seeing my husband's astral body, I said, "Look, I'm out of my body!" I was doing somersaults etc. But, he being unaware said, "You're out of your mind!" I was just laughing and having a good ol' time.

#3 I continued the exercises, but this time with a little more consciousness.

We were instructed to really observe the objects in our bedrooms, then once out of the body, to compare them.

So during hypno-sleep, I again rolled out of bed, began to float and observe my surroundings. Everything in my bedroom was the same as it was during the day, except that it was brighter, more colorful, and very clean looking...like brand new.

I decided to try to reach my husband again while in his astral body, though he was consciously asleep. The next thing I knew, we both were in the master bathroom, both in our astral bodies. He looked so young, he still had freckles on his face (which he said he had outgrown in his early twenties). We kissed and then the most extraordinary thing happened...

A brilliant white light began to emanate from our 2nd Chakras (sex chakras located about 2 inches below the naval). This light coming from us began to blend together and it felt like a sexual orgasm, only much more intense...indescribable in words! I later learned this was called “melding chakras.“ I knew then that we were soul mates, or whatever you want to call it...I knew this relationship was meant to be.

#4 This time I had a little trouble getting out of my body, so I asked for help from my elemental intercessor. Then, I felt hands on my ankles, pulling on me! It scared me so much that I woke up. Then I remembered about asking for help, so I tried again.

The next thing I remember, I was floating again. I floated around my bedroom and thought to myself, “I would like to go into my meditation room,” where I had my collection of rocks, gemstones, minerals, etc. Our bedroom door was closed so I went through the wall! Yes I did...and I saw every molecule in that wall as I penetrated it and came out the other side of it!

My meditation room was across a hall from my bedroom, and next to our study with our computer in it. I had my own business then and worked many hours on that computer. So with every intention on entering my meditation room, I pushed on the door and then astonishingly pulled back as I saw 'light prints' where my fingers had touched the door.

I tried again and found myself magnetically pulled toward the study door...its door was open and I could see the surge protector that everything was plugged into. It had an electrical light emanating from it that was literally pulling me in its direction! That scared me, so I woke up in my physical body.

That was when I realized I was spending much too much time on the computer and not enough time on the spiritual path.

#5 There was one other experience in which I was allowed to visit the sixth plane of the Astral. I will save this one for those who inquire...
