Welcome to Out of Body

Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are moments when your awareness seems to leave your physical body and observe the world from a different perspective. These experiences can occur spontaneously, during deep relaxation, near-death episodes, meditation or lucid dreams. Our site explores OBEs, near-death experiences (NDEs), lucid dreaming, breathwork, and the science of consciousness. Whether you are curious about the phenomenon, seeking personal transformation, or looking for guidance on safe practice, you’ll find resources here.

What Are Out of Body Experiences?

An out-of-body experience is characterized by the sensation of observing your body and surroundings from a location outside of your physical form. It can involve floating above your bed, traveling to another room, or exploring entirely different realms. OBEs have been reported across cultures and history, and in modern research and near-death experiences (NDEs).

Are OBEs Real?

Experiencers often describe OBEs as life-changing, reducing fear of death and inspiring personal growth. Scientists offer several theories: OBEs may arise from unusual activity in the temporoparietal junction of the brain, dissociative states, or sensory processing changes during sleep paralysis. Whatever the cause, they are profoundly meaningful to those who experience them. We encourage a balanced approach that respects subjective accounts while considering scientific perspectives.
