Hi, I'm new here. I was linked to this site through another (para-normal.com). I have some questions and was hoping that I could obtain some advice from individuals with more knowledge on these topics.

All my life I've had out-of-body-experiences, usually when I'm stressed, it just happens. I've never been able to control these and at times they've frightened me. I know this is a gift and I should welcome it. I guess I would if I knew how to control the event. Any insight on how to induce/control an OBE would be appreciated.

Several times people have told me that they see a golden light around me. Of course this is not noticeable to me, nor in any photos of myself. Once at my office, it became very disturbing to my co-workers. They shied away from me, because of my continual "glow". Additionally, a couple times when I've become very emotionally upset, people/loved ones have said they've seen a blinding bright light coming from my chest area (i know, crazy sounding). I haven't had this event in over 3 years now. Any insight on aura's or the meaning of a yellow/white light/ glow would be appreciated.

Since a child I've had electrical charges in my body that are also disturbing for people, like my mother. As a small child I could turn the television on/off by holding my hand close to the television. (this was in the early 70's). I could also 'sense' when the TV was on, no matter what part of the house I was in. In fact, as a child I would ask my mom to turn it off, as it felt 'uncomfortable' to feel the television. It was like I could feel it inside me. I do not notice this as an adult as much as I did when I was very young. I do have a problem with wearing watches unless they are very loose, like a bracelet. In highschool, my biology teacher noticed that whenever I walked through the door, the clock above the door would jump (that is the hands would move, jittering like). I've had many problems with any electrical equipment, including vehicles. It is really hard to maintain any equipment, as I'm always 'breaking' them. Any insight/advice on this would be helpful.

I've also had lucid dreaming my entire life. Once again, all this was much easier to do as a little girl, than it is now. I used to love to dream so that I could control them and plan where to go next. Now, I can still dream lucidly, but it more just happens, rather than laying down and planning to dream lucidly, like when i was a child.

A little history... my grandmother was psychic. She would not appreciate that terminology. As a devout southern christian woman, to be psychic was of course the devil's doing. She referred to herself as having 'spells'. She predicted things during these spells that were always accurate. She would become incredibly tired after one of her spells and sleep for hours. I've never been able to predict anything, but wonder if there is some genetic link to para-normal activity. One of my cousins is the same as I am. He shared the same grandmother. Any insight on genetic links to para-normal activity would be very appreciated.

How do I regain what I had as a child? What can I use these gifts for?

Thanks in advance!

I see.
What you describe are not really gifts, they are abilities everybody has. Everybody goes out of body every time they sleep/dream. Its only the trick to be consious and not to be dreaming at that time. Be aware that you are going out of body, and then being able to control your astral journeys are an ability that every one can learn.

When i want to go out of body, i lay down for sleep, and i try to get in the state BODY ASLEEP - MIND AWAKE. Just watch my body fall alseep, and then try to get up from my bed leaving my physical body behind.
Most of the time i just fall asleep, but sometimes i manage to stay awake long enough that my body thinks my mind and so my true self is asleep. Then there is a certain point that i feel my body is really asleep. And i roll over, fall out of my bed or get up in my astral body, in the astral dimension.
Dreaming is when you are out of your body, and your mind makes up stories and characters and backgrounds according to your feelings at that time, and situations of the day. You deal with your emotions.
I also have a lot of lucid dreams, but less than i have OBE's . Normally i dont do any thing with those. You said, you planned to go some place. This is called astral travelling.
I also know when somebody in the house puts on the tv, in any room. The further i am away, the less chance there is I will notice.
I also can talk with my pets. I hear them when they are in trouble, i get a signal and a picture in my mind wich pet it is.
Really, many people have these abilities. Everybody has them, allthough most dont recognise them, dont want to use them or simple forgotten them.

Hey Lanette, and welcome!

I have limited experience with OBEs, so I'll not talk about that.

As for the electrical stuff, I get that too. It happens the most when I'm stressed out. I've broken and/or messed up lots of electrical things - tvs, radios, lights, car door locks, security devices at stores, etc. I'm in med school, my second year. I'm feeling more relaxed now, but last year was extremely stressful. That's when all this stuff came out. I actually do think it may be genetic. When I was a kid, for years and years I was afraid to touch my grandmother because she shocked me every time. It's annoying for those reasons, but it can also give you an incredible high. Sometimes it feels like my hands are just burning up with energy. I'll sit for a few minutes and just let it flow, and it just makes me feel balanced and connected.

I'm also precognitive at times. It seems to come in waves - for weeks, nothing, then suddenly it just floods. Sometimes it's helpful, especially if it's about something potentially dangerous. Other times it's nonsense foreknowledge. I'll dream about what a friend will wear to class the next day. Whooptidoo. (okay, I'll admit it, I get a kick out of it when that happens... ) Both my parents have displayed an occasional spurt of precog ability, so maybe that's genetic too.

There's some other stuff too, but I won't get into it. From personal experience, this stuff happens when it wants to, not when I want it too. If I try to predict something on purpose, I'm usually wrong. If I tell my car door locks to open and close, they'll do nothing. Then I get scared by something and they go all wonky. Go figure. Maybe there is a way to control it... let me know if you find one.

Final thought - I'm skeptical about the idea of everyone being capable of this. If this were true, this forum would be flooded on a daily basis by thousands of people searching for answers. Or it'd be more mainstream and accepted. As it is now, I often find it hard to even talk in this metaphysics forum without encountering beaucoups criticism. Whatev, just remember that nobody has all the answers, no matter how hard they try to convince you that they do!

Guf you're right. i have ek too but not to as extreme as you two but i did turn the tv on when my brother turned it off at the tv which renders the remote useless and i got annoyed coz i wanted to watch a program.. similar stuff and major shocking.. it hurts heh.

but i lucid dream alot... usually im lying down and suddenly i day dream and poof. but then there are also dreams where i know im dreaming so i take control.. its fun i can go anywhere... but yer i dont know too much aboot OBE's i've only ever had like3 and only left my body probably once.

sorry i wasnt much help was i...

Thanks for the insight from everyone. It's pretty baffling stuff, isn't it? I'm always in a state of 'electrification' as I get zapped and zap everyone I touch. I forgot about that one!

Feel free to message me on Yahoo under lilyiana_is_sweet. I'd love to discuss further...

There must be some sort of connection to emotional state and strange activity, as [Guf] experiences that too. I'm sure there are others who notice this too?

By the way... ever heard of Indigo's?

Yes, I have noticed this. My electrokinesis is always at a 'peak' level when I'm very emotional / stressed.

that seems cool to me, even if it was me and i couldn't control it. knowing that i'm doing it is cool. but i know how it feels not to control your energy because i'm like that. though with pyrokinesis, it's totally dangerous if you loose control. i never have yet. for those trying to learn pyrokinesis, you may hurt others if you don't control it and may have a problem with yourself combusting. just to tell you.

Day dream induced farts?? how odd

lol Hammy you know wot i mean lol!

*nods indefinitely to Souls comment*

yer pk would be dangerous ek is too but it wont burn our house down.. thena gain it still can
