In my years of having out-of-body experiences I have participated in many what are often called ‘astral rescues’. Some people when they die remain stuck in a sort of trauma loop and replay time after time what happened to them until another being can get through to them to help them out of their self-made world. Some people don’t even realise they have died, often because their death has been sudden and unexpected, the following experience is one of these.

I am dreaming I am in my cellar, I have recently cleared out this space and made it into a sacred space where I meditate and play my sound therapy instruments, my energy is there. However, although I call it a dream, it doesn’t really feel like a dream, I think I am already out-of-body but not very aware at first. Then I suddenly feel an energy behind me, it feels like heavy energy, and I have a hard time turning around. I try to say ‘What’s this all about?’ but it is difficult to get the words out I make a real effort then wake myself up while saying the words.

I go back to sleep and find myself back in the cellar, this time I am aware and know I am out-of-body. I see a young woman with pigtails, she wants me to follow her. I go with her and fly through the little window that goes to the garden. I fly to the left and I feel a being near me who is trying to distract me from what I am doing, I push it away with a flick of my hand and arm.

I find myself in a place with a young man in front of me, the name ‘Murphy’ comes to my mind, he has been killed in a bike accident but doesn’t know he has died. I try to explain so he can move on. Around him I see several dead relatives and I try to tell him to look around, that he is among people who have already died. He then points out a pizza bar where his friends are working, he tells me that his friends own the pizza place and he says ‘They are not dead so how can I be.’ I go over to the pizza bar, and the couple tell me they aren’t doing any business, they are making pizza that is not being eaten. I tell the young man to think about that, ‘Why is no one eating the pizza?’ I tell him it’s because no one in this place has a physical body so no one needs to eat, I tell him the pizza place and the couple running it are thought forms and not really there, just projections. This seems to convince him to look at the anomalies and become more aware.

I don’t remember any more but I believe that once the young man started to question what was around him this helped him move on and maybe his relatives waiting for him could finally reach him.

It is interesting that a being tried to stop me, there are beings that don’t want people to do this type of ‘astral work’ I believe that as more people are lifted out of their trauma so there is more light and a little less confusion. It’s possible that this being may have been the heavy energy I felt at first, this heavy negative energy can be quite scary, they use ‘scare tactics’, if this doesn’t work they may try to distract you in other ways. However, I stress, I am speaking from my own experience which may or may not be the same as other people.

There is a lot of negative energy in our world at the moment, there is also a lot of positive, though we often don’t hear about it, the astral is no different, and just as we need more light here on Earth, so we need more light in the astral. Every little helps.

Imagine all the negative energy that is constantly produced if someone is reliving their trauma, time and time again, stuck in a ‘trauma loop’ in the lower astral planes. I believe many people do this type of astral work even if they are not aware, every success story brings in a little more light.

Thanks for reading/listening!

This OBE is a good example about how we can connect to others during OBEs. I had gone up to the attic to sleep at about 2am due to my husband’s snoring. In the early hours of the morning I had the following OBE.

I am out-of-body and fly through the window only to suddenly hear my husband come in the room telling me not to go off flying. It’s not the first time I’ve had this sort of experience. Anyway as I hover outside the window I tell him that it’s perfectly fine why doesn’t he try it too. I go back into the room and take his hands so I am facing him outstretched arms holding both hands. I tell him to jump up in the air and that he will float so he does, then I persuade him to fly out the window with me, so we do, all the time in the same position, me in front of him holding his outstretched hands. I say, ‘There that’s not so bad is it?’ Then I say, ‘Make sure you remember this in the morning,’ I keep emphasizing, ‘Remember this in the morning.’

So in the morning while having breakfast I asked him if he had any dreams the night before, then he suddenly became enthusiastic as he recounted a dream he had. The outline of the dream is this, he was shopping for an anti-gravity device which would enable him to fly, he found one in a shop and bought it at a bargain price. The device consisted of a piece of wood that you held out in front using both hands. As he demonstrated the position I saw that it was the same one as we had used in my OBE, he said he used the device first to float then to fly.

So his mind had interpreted our flying OBE into a dream about an anti-gravity device, I’ve been called a lot of things but an anti-gravity device is a new one lol. Well I suppose Ali does mean wings in Italian.

This is not the first time I have met my husband out-of-body but it is the first time he has actually remembered something similar to what happened. Often I am usually flying off out of the house trying to persuade him that he can fly too.

This experience has implications also regarding how we can help people even when we are asleep, and I’m not talking about helping people have out-of-body experiences but rather by giving people support. Of course, with family the connection is very strong so probably it is easier to have an influence, same with close friends, however, this doesn’t mean helping others is not impossible, given that we have their permission. The best way when out-of-body is to ask your higher self the best way to help someone with whatever problem they have, you may get shown something in a kind of vision, who knows if your higher self considers it appropriate you may even have an encounter like I did with my husband where he brought it all back as a dream. This is one reason why we must not discount dreams as not very important, we may get messages from our guides through them, even loved ones on the other side, who knows someone somewhere might be trying to teach us to fly.

I just love that OBE feeling, detaching from the physical is great way to get rid of stress. I become conscious after the exit, as sometimes happens, and I’m flying down the road in our neighbourhood. I look down at what I’m wearing and for some reason I’m dressed in a short black jacket and I’m carrying a wooden chair, both the jacket and the chair are heavy so I throw down the chair and take off the jacket. I think these items are symbolic of something weighing me down in the physical.

Anyway once those items are discarded I become lighter, I am so happy to be OBE and experience the lightness that comes with detachment from the physical. I’m a bit too exhuberant so I calm myself down as too much emotion in the astral can cut short an experience. Checking out local areas has never interested me and I hadn’t set any intentions before sleeping which is a shame as I could have tried healing my knee, I have been experiencing some mild pain there lately.

I let my higher self decide for me and it gets dark, not scary dark though, I fly very quickly just above some trees, the trees seem familiar from other experiences, it starts to get lighter and I see a young man with red hair walking on a mountainside, he’s on a trekking expedition to the top of the mountain. I stop and go up to him, he’s enjoying his walk, at the top of the mountain there’s a castle with a tremendous view. I tell him that I would have loved to accompany him but I’m out-of-body and I know my time is limited, my alarm clock will go off soon and then I’d miss the view. I tell him I’ll fly up to the top.

So I fly up to the top of the mountain, go through a door into the castle, there are other people there, (no one is bothered by my flying, (in some places people are bothered by seeing someone flying and you have to tone yourself down a bit), I fly up to the highest point in the castle, I’m still inside, there’s a window through which I can see the sea, I always like views over the sea but a lady tells me that is not the spectacular view to be experienced. I then realise that the view is inside the castle and as I look down what I see is truly breathtaking but not visually, it’s breathtaking in its depth and ‘enormity of feeling’, it reminds me of Koestler’s description of what Freud calls ‘oceanic feeling’: (though this expression was originally coined by Romain Rolland).

“that expansion of awareness which one experiences on occasion in an empty cathedral when eternity is looking through the window of time, and in which the self seems to dissolve like a grain of salt in a lot of water.”

Aware that my alarm clock will be going off soon I leave the castle, to get out I have to go through a kind of TV screen, then through another door, others are entering as I leave. At this point I check in with my higher self to see if I can help out anywhere but it isn’t meant to be. I stay where I am, it’s truely a lovely place, different styled houses and each ecologically friendly, information enters my mind that this is where sustainable housing, farming etc is developed for the Earth before arriving as a physical concept. I receive the impression that I am looking at ideas from Earth’s future as seen from my present point as Ali Wylie on my timeline.

I see a celebration going on with lots of different kinds of food carried in different containers, there’s lots of colour and happiness, they are celebrating how they have found the solution to food problems on the Earth, now everyone will have enough good healthy food.

I think the spectacular view within the castle is showing how the beauty and depth we carry inside is so much more meaningful than anything we may see or experience on the outside, in our exterior worlds, this of course is nothing new in spiritual circles, but these reminders are sometimes necessary to keep us on the right path.

Happy travels!
