Every two hours I took a break and stretched my body before attempting to enter the trance state.  Towards the early hours of the morning I had become familiar and relaxed with the trance state (for me-meditating for over 10 years brings the trance on easier). 

All of sudden I heard the loud vibratory sound in my head and whilst visualizing my body six feet above my body, my hands involuntarily stretched towards the direction of the ceiling (one wrist over the other), then swung from side to side in a violent motion.  The next instance I am rising gently out of my body to the right side of my bed.  My landing was so gentle.  I turned around and looked at my body.  I walked over to it and looked at myself.  Everything was lit up in my room and colors were extraordinarily vivid. 

If I wanted I could see through the walls.  This is when I became aware of three men and a woman in my house.  In the passage way they started to talk to me and I was surprised that they could see me.  I acted invisible and became unsure of what to do.  I decided to check on my body. As I did this, everything went black and I knew that I was back in my body, then woke instantly.
