What is the magic button that will cause you to leave your physical body temporarily to experience another realities in a conscious state? There are countless books and authors writing about how they achieved the out of body state. They write about rolling out, pulling up, sinking down and more.
We read about loud sounds, vibrations and people appearing to pull you out. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of techniques and experiences written about the out of body state and it’s easy to get caught up in the technique itself.
Which of the many methods are the right ones to try?
There is no answer. There is no perfect choice. We are all very individual and what works for some will have no effect on another.
Experiencing out of body states is an ability that we all have within us. We have heard this many times before and it’s true. However, we also each have a physical brain and the brain sits right between your physical body and the real you, which is non-physical. The brain is designed to, not only beautifully run the physical body, it’s also a filter, or protective wall, to your subconscious mind. The brain can only know what is taught to it in this physical lifetime because it starts out almost a blank when we come into these lives. The subconscious, however, holds all the knowings of the real you.
When each of us decided to take a turn in a lifetime on earth, we fully understood how the physical body works and we knew that our subconscious mind (all the memories and knowings of the real non-physical us) would be blocked or filtered by the brain. Thus providing some challenge in this game of life.
So, even though you are non-physical, and you experience out of body states when your body sleeps, your brain thinks you won’t understand those experiences so it prevents you from accessing this information from your subconscious mind and shows you some dreams instead. Sometimes those dreams are not dreams at all but real out of body travel.
I am often asked which method I would recommend for out of body exploration and my opinion is that the method that you choose, whether it’s all the body symptoms like vibrations, loud sounds, and pulling yourself out, or simply focusing on a different reality with phasing really makes no difference. How fast you begin to make your first breakthroughs depends more on that wall or filter called the brain and just how long it takes to shut the brain up so your subconscious can get through. And, the very biggest reason that people don’t see results with out of body training is they simply give up too soon.
One person might find an out of body method they are comfortable with and they see results quickly. Another person may find the very same method as the first person, but months later they are still struggling to make some breakthroughs.
It’s very different for each one of us so there is no magic button. There is not one training method that is better than another. My advice is to find one method you are comfortable with, that works with your lifestyle, and stick with it. If you stay with a method long enough to break through your brain filter, you will see results with any method you choose.
And, the real truth is that not one single method is actually needed to experience out of body travel. You really only need a quiet mind so that you can change your focus to a different reality. You are a non-physical being but you are focused in this physical reality. Learning to quiet your mind is the key to being able to change your focus to experience other realms.
If you want to learn to consciously experience other realities in this lifetime on earth then find what works for you and stick with the method that you choose. It takes time to get through that wall or filter called the brain if you have built up many dogmas and beliefs. If you hold these belief traps it might take a little longer to breakthrough. However, if you are focused and determined to achieve an out of body state, it will happen. The time it takes to see success is going to be completely different for each of us.
So, there is no magic button, no technique better than another when learning to astral travel. Find a method that resonates with you and fits into your lifestyle and STICK WITH IT!

Vickie Acklin
Writer, Healing Facilitator and a Lifetime Student of Consciousness from Arkansas, USA
As a lifetime explorer of consciousness, I have come to understand how significant the times are that we are presently experiencing. We are connected to the earth through our energy fields so as we have chaos in our everyday lives on earth, so does the planet. This chaos also serves to awaken us. We are waking up to understand who we really are. We are learning to illuminate the path we each have before us. We are all becoming braver about learning to use our innate abilities. I created this community so we can all learn, grow, and support each other in our explorations of consciousness.
I have taken classes and studies at The Monroe Institute in Virginia, USA (TMI). I took the, Gateway Voyage and then returned to TMI to study, Out of Body Advanced with William Buhlman. The institute was developed by Robert Monroe to study and teach about our natural ability to leave our physical body. We can explore, and we do this naturally, almost every time we sleep. TMI is a place setup for learning to go out of body consciously. Not while you sleep, but while you’re awake.
I am a level two hypnotist trained by Dolores Cannon shortly before her death. I used Dolores’ method because I could go straight to our Oversoul which is our connection to this Universe. There is so much to learn there. I could help people under hypnosis by allowing them to see their past lives so that they could better understand their current life. Connecting to the Universe along with another consciousness doing the same thing in the room is a powerful experience. We felt such an electric feeling in the room and in ourselves. Those sessions opened my subconscious and my intuition became even stronger as did the people that had the sessions with me. They experienced a lot of changes in their lives.
I came to know a very special man that was a Buddhist Guru in Texas. He had come from China as a young man and started a Buddhist temple. He had the ability of being very intuitive. When I walked into the room, he first rang a small brass bell to clear the room. Then he quickly began shuffling ordinary playing cards and told me many things about myself. He taught me to find my answers within myself and not to seek them elsewhere. I have been blessed by, The Dali Lama when he made his visit to the temple where I attended. I’m not Buddhist but I felt the need to study their ways at that time in my life. The temple was bright and colorful and filled with people. People made pilgrimages to see the Guru and he gave them his time seven days a week.
I have taken sound healing with Tom Kenyon and studied his work with the Hathors. Kenyon is the best sound healer on the planet. Through sound one can achieve deep states where answers can be found inside of each of us. I had an out of body experience while listening to a world meditation that Tom Kenyon gave through the Hathors. It was a visual lesson. I had been stumbling along trying to understand something and the meditation sent me right into the Universe where I experienced my lesson in full color. What Tom Kenyon gives to the world through the Hathors and his incredible voice is an experience I am honored to have had.
I came to this life already knowing other life existed off this planet. As an adult I had a full blown contact experience. I had a lifetime interest in ET’s but after my contact experience, I knew I needed to get a camera and take images and videos of spacecraft in our day and night skies so others could see what I knew was out there. I used a camera technique and intuitive photography to capture some interesting images and some beautiful craft. I got the knowing to do this kind of photography from my contact experience.
I lived close to a family of Sasquatch for five years that made me welcome. I am honored to know them and even though I no longer live close to them I still feel their connection.
It’s been a lifetime of learning, and I continue to learn every single day.
If asked what was the most important lesson that I have ever learned in my lifetime, it would be this; our bodies are just bodies. Our bodies are not who we really are. Inside of each of us there is an energy body. Our energy bodies are all knowing, eternal beings. Even though we don’t all remember that, it’s true. When our bodies physically die, we don’t even lose consciousness. We simply “blink” to a new reality, one we are very familiar with. What many have forgotten in this lifetime is that as an, All Knowing, Eternal Being, we are Sovereign. I have fully embraced that in myself. I am the sole owner of my body, my mind, and my energy. I am not ruled by the confinements of our physical life on earth. I choose to awaken all of my Sovereign Abilities!
