Re: Out of Body Experiences.
Not quite out of body but definitely off body.'On July 17, 1793, a woman named Charlotte Corday was executed by guillotine for the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat, a radical journalist, politician and revolutionary. Marat was well-liked for his ideas and the mob awaiting the guillotine was eager to see Corday pay. After the blade dropped and Corday's head fell, one of the executioner's assistants picked it up and slapped its cheek. According to witnesses, Corday's eyes turned to look at the man and her face changed to an expression of indignation. Following this incident, people executed by guillotine during the Revolution were asked to blink afterward, and witnesses claim that the blinking occurred for up to 30 seconds.'

There is a lot of difference between Near Death Experiences and Astral travelling.

Re: Out of Body Experiences.
Regarding the OP, does it simply mean that the brain is functioning for longer than was previously thought, that you are 'alive' for a bit longer than expected after the heart stops.The out of body experience of watching the proceedings is strange though. My late FIL who had a heart condition and occasions when his heart stopped also described seeing people working on him.
I think the brain is so complex we don't fully understand it's capabilities.
Talking of the brain did anyone watch the new series with Prof Brian Cox which started last night about the human brain and what makes us uniquely human.

Re: Out of Body Experiences.
As a child I regularly used to float up and down the staircase at home and thought that everyone had had similar experiences. It's happened a few times since I've been an adult where I've floated high in the night sky looking down on all the lights and people on earth. I'm certainly a long way off being dead!08-10-2014, 02:14 PM

Re: Out of Body Experiences.
That sounds wonderful! I only ever did that during hypnosis once years ago only I was so far up there that only clouds around me & everything was white. I felt the calmest id ever felt in my life & when I was 'back' I actually cried because I didn't want to come back. Up there nothing mattered.Weird...because I have a loving husband & had no reason to want to be away from him plus my parents were still alive then.....strange but absolutely wonderful experience.
