My out of the body experience

[claddaghlass]

I was eight when I had the first out of my body experience that I can clearly remember.

We were on a field trip to a water park and were allowed to go on this long slide. I had and still have basic swimming skills though I can't really swim. I don't so much have a fear of the water as it is a fear of drowning.

The lifeguard assured all of us that we would be fine and no harm would come to us. The water was shallow so all we had to do was stand up and our heads would be above water.

In order to play in the pool you had to go on the water slide. I wanted to play in the water so I up I went to the water slide. At first it was fun sliding around in the green tubes but soon it felt dangerous as if it were going faster.

I don't remember being dropped in the water when the slide ended but I remember the girl who landed on me who couldn't swim. As she couldn't swim she was on top of me trying to keep her head above water.

I don't remember her getting off of me. When I left my body it felt as if something had kicked me. I never have forgotten the feel of that "kick."

I "saw" myself on my side going down to the bottom of the pool. I "saw" the headline of the newspaper for the next day.

The same thing that knocked me out of my body knocked me back in. I felt something strong grab my ankle and jerk upwards. When I looked down here was nothing holding me.

My head broke the surface and the hands started pushing me towards the end of the pool when I heard the day care instructors shout at me to get over.

I was pulled out of the pool and lead to the eating area where I was told to stand in the sun until I dried. I could hear the teachers talking saying I had marks on my body but they couldn't figure out who or what they had come from. I over heard them say I was under long enough to drown a person and they were amazed I was still breathing and without any type of brain damage.

All I can make of it is it wasn't my time.

Wow thank you for sharing .. I do believe there is a time and place for everything and it just was not your time yet to pass. I believe people have OBE's so they can share and we all can learn and grow..

Like you I agree everything happens for a reason. We may not like or understand the reason but there's a reason.

The first one I can even remember is when I was six. We had to do these gymnastics including sommersaults and backwards sommersaults. Mom told me to practice on my bed so I wouldn't get hurt.

The bed was so high that I literally had to jump to get on there.

I was practicing and next thing I remember is falling off the bed. I scraped a good chunk of skin off the back of my neck on the siding. I remember landing on my head and then nothing.

I had a feeling as I crossed over to the other side. I was in a room, very bright and with a light blue tinge. I don't know if the people were male or female but there were a small group of people lined up and all wearing robes.

I don't remember much of anything else about the incident other than waking up and finding Mom over me. She was terrified I had broken my neck.

The doctor said I was fine with no severe damage done to my body. Either way I couldn't move my head for three days.

I think I've astral projected places but other than those two incidents I don't remember any clear out of the body experiences.

Thank You so much for sharing your experiences!!
I am so glad that you came back to us and that there was no permanent damage done. ;D

I was wondering if you would mind sharing whether or not your OBE's have effected you in your everyday life???
Do you find that you are more Sensitive or Empathic, ETC?

I will understand if you do not wish to answer, as I know this subject can be very personal.
No Worries!!!
Once again, Thank You for sharing!! I look forward to seeing you around!
With Strength, Protection and Light,
Shawny

Ojibwe; Claddaghlass is very gifted she draws past life expieriances. She did one for me as a house Warming I love it so much its framed beside yours.. I really wish Cladd would put some of her past life photos ..

I'd be happy to share. Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I've been busy with home stuff.

I would say that the events either caused or enhanced my sensitivity. Shortly after the event where I fell off my bed I would get unexplained pains in my body, especially behind my knees. The muscles would lock up so that I couldn't walk. I'd crawl everywhere and somehow I knew when it was going to happen. It happened at random times. Now occasionally I'll get pains in my arms when something is happening. My Nana told me that often that was a sign of my body adjusting to my abilities rather than just random growth spurts.

Sometimes the experiences do effect me in actions. I think a lot more before trying something out. It has definately made me a watcher of sorts. I'll always try to be aware of my surroundings and things like that.

I don't mind discussing it.

Edited to add: I've added the illustrations to my past life thread. I've posted the links so no one's server will be bogged down.
