Is it normal to go out of our body while meditating?.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
“I have been meditating for four months.
I have been listening to the mantra through headphones instead of doing it by myself.
Is that okay to do this way?
I am having some experiences: I feel vibrations at night even during my sleep.
I read something on Google where it talks about ‘out-of-body experience.’
I am so afraid to go into deep meditation.
I really don’t want to go out of my body.
Is there any way I can get rid of this thinking?”
Response:
Listening to a mantra throughout your meditation with headphones is not the ideal way to meditate.
It makes meditation a passive process.
It’s important that you bring up the mantra as a thought from the silence of your own awareness rather than only hearing it as an audible sound.
Only when you think the mantra yourself can you experience the emerging thought-vibration of the mantra in its subtlest, most universal form.
Being out of the body just means your focus of awareness is not on your physical sensations but in your mental awareness.
Every night when you go to sleep you are having an out-of-body experience.
Even during the day when you are lost in thought or an emotion, you are predominantly out of your body.
Out-of-body experiences are commonplace.
They have developed a kind of reputation as a quasi-spiritual experience in cases where there is an experience of the sharp contrast between the inert body and the observing mind.
These cases have sometimes been reported in near-death experiences.
Anyway, this is nothing you need to worry about.
Meditation, followed by normal daily activity will only strengthen your mind-body connection and your mental and physical health.
Love,
Deepak
