Experience description:
At
13 years old I was laying on my bed pondering the world, my life and feeling
very depressed. Suddenly, my spirit shot to the ceiling. I was probably about an
inch from the ceiling noticing the imperfections in the painted ceiling.
This experience couldn't have lasted more than 5 minutes. Upon fully
returning to my body, I was very scared and confused about what just happened,
however, I felt peace and love in my heart as well.
I've had
about a dozen out of body experiences from the ages of 13 to 23 years old. Once
I think I was about 15 years old, laying on the couch, again, heavily thinking
about life and very much depressed, my spirit fell to the floor and then gently
rolled to the other side of the living room. I looked over and could see my body
laying on the couch. In a flash, I returned to my body.
Many times during that 10 years I fully left my body or a tugging
sensation that my spirit was trying to leave.
I was always fully awake when these experiences happened.
Sometimes I would be reading a book on my bed and my spirit would start
falling through the mattress and also through the floor (upstairs).
The last time my spirit left my body was amazing. At the time I was 23
years old in my own apartment laying on the couch fully awake.
My spirit shot out of my body and instantly I was floating in space. I
was not afraid and could see a few planets and beautiful stars glimmering in the
dark space. I would think of questions which I was given the answers to but
cannot tell you what the answers were. I
had ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE about the past, present and future.
I do not know how long I was 'gone'.
Upon returning to my body I felt overwhelming peace and love.
