When I was 27 or 28.  I was able to leave my body, I can still, but people say it is dangerous. I left it many times over a couple of months, What would happen is I Would become very relaxed and I'm not sure if I was asleep as when I sleep I can still control my dreams about, It does take some effort. I would feel a pull that was not so bad at all ,going back in is not so great. I would fly around and have a great time I could fly over London, or be in a Maxfield Parish painting, It was as real as I am sitting here right now.  Fun, amazing, and life changing. One time ,one of my first times, I went to a place that my friends were at to find out if this was real or just my imagination. I was able to fly there, and they were there and I saw what my friend was wearing and the next day I asked what she was wearing and it was true. I absolutely was floored, any way the night I did this I came back or flew back home, but I didn't know for the life of me how to get back in! I didn't know how I even got out of the house! I tried to open the door and I couldn't my daughter was inside and I knew I wasn't there so I relaxed and prayed for a split second, and I was by my daughters window and I  went in. I just didn't realize that I could have cone in any time right through anything anytime It feels weird  but you can do it. Oh I need to tell you what it was like to go see your own body laying there. I was breathing, and so I know or feel that if I was awakened, I do Feel that I would go right back in no matter what, unless I really didn't want to I feel It is your choice. And you need to be careful. When ever I went back in it was a very, very ,strong sucking action and not painful, but not a good feeling.
