I was surprised at the small number of people who have experienced Out of Body Experiences, I have had many. It has been at least 10 years since I have had one because they scared me. I knew nothing about them and when it did happen, I wondered if I was dead or alive. It is a hereditary thing, my mother had them and so did my grandmother. I remember concentrating so hard for me to come back into me. One night I was flying around the outside of the house so fast, just going around and around it.
I went through a really hard time in my life and had just started to relax and get out of the situation I was in and then they started happening. I spoke with my father about them and he told me that there was nothing to worry about, that my mother had them all the time. So I talked with her and she said, "Honey, you can go anywhere you want to go. Just remember there is a fine line between you and your soul and don't let it slip away or you will be what they call... a lost soul". Anyway, I'm rambling, just thought it was strange at the small number.

Do you know how often we get emails from guys saying that it cannot be possible that the females can OBE more than males. Like one of those "Macho" things. Why did you stop the practice of OBE? You mentioned that you got scared... of what? Not really knowing or something else? The reason that we ask is because a friend used to do it then all of a sudden, he stopped also and he said the same thing... he got scared.
We apologize for not responding sooner, our web site email inquiries (like yours) is really picking up and keeps us busy. If you're interested in becoming a member of our Otherplane's Gifted Society (OGS), let us know. OGS was established for gifted persons like yourself.

I was scared because I knew nothing about them and still to this day, it is still a mystery to me, of the reason for them but I think it's a way of the soul escaping a horrible situation. Sort of longing to be somewhere else. It seems to me that they happened when and only when I was lying flat on my back (I purposely started sleeping on my side) and when I had relaxed into a meditative state.
The friend of yours that said only men have them is very wrong because I have a genetic background of them, my mother and her mother had them also. It is a gift and I would like to practice using it only as a tool for myself. I am older now (30) and I'm more grounded. I was much to young to realize what was going on and they did scare me because I could see myself lying there and I couldn't move my physical body and would have to concentrate so hard to come back and I mean concentrate hard.
I would love to join with you and exchange other experiences with people that would help all of us learn and find more answers. I am also gifted in other ways. We can discuss those later.
The first experience that I had, I just floated above myself and it felt good because it was my first night back home and I needed some relaxation in my life. When they continued is when I got scared. I remember reading an article about them and that's when I knew they were called "Out of Body Experience". So then, I confronted my father of them and he told me about my mother. Women do have these. I'm sure there are many that have not come forward, let's hope they do. Please write back with info on joining up with you.
