Guys when I do meditation I reach a stage where it feels as if my soul is separating from my body.. I do not let it continue due to fear and open my eyes as I never gone through this before....I would appreciate advice from ppl who have gone through this stage... thanks

MiBeloved's Response:

Strictly speaking, meditation has nothing to do with separation from the body. It concerns transcending physical bodily consciousness while being in the physical body. In the more advanced stages it concerns even transcending the subtle body while that is interspaced in the physical one.

I think what you are speaking about, and what you fear is astral projection and not meditation.

Astral projection is when someone realizes himself or herself as a subtle body which is apart from and separated out of the physical body.

===========================

I am not here to sell books but I would suggest that you take a look at my book which is titled Astral Projection.

Why?

Because I go into details about what astral projection is in that book.

===========================

One thing you need to know is that astral projection occurs every time the physical body sleeps. This means that if you are not aware of it, then nature has designed your psyche without giving you access to its astral activities. This might sound farfetched but consider this?

Are you aware of your body’s digestive activities?

Are you aware of the growing of your finger nails?

Are you aware of every heart beat in your body?

So what I am saying is that there are many activities which go on by the grace of nature, hence becoming fearful of nature exposing these activities to you, does not make much sense.

In fact we usually are glad to be informed by our medical professionals about what is happening in our bodies, because if we get this information, we can sometimes affect cures of illnesses.

Supposed I have a sickness. I go to a physician. He sits by me in a clinic and begins to inform of the condition of a malfunctioning organ. What should I do?

So I say to him, “Look, do not tell me about this. I am fearful of hearing about this. Please shut up”

How would that sound?

===========================

So if nature wants to reveal to you what the subtle body is, then why be afraid of that? You already trust nature, because so far it has kept your body alive since the body’s birth. Nature served you in so many ways since you got to know yourself as the physical body. So now if nature wants to share with you experience of the subtle body, they why be fearful?
