Overcoming Fear of OBE

Answer:

Fear of the experientially unknown out of body state is a well-known natural barrier to OBE.* It can only be replaced by knowledge and understanding and personal experience.* My advice for you is to read everything you can get your hands on regarding OBE, and become thoroughly familiar with all aspects of OBE and what to expect during and after the exit out of body.* Affirmations and self-hypnosis, if used properly, can also help a great deal.* You will also find that undertaking training in the skills required for wake inducing an OBE is very strengthening, and this in itself helps overcome fear.

My book, Mastering Astral Projection: a 90-day program, which I coauthored with Brian Mercer, has fear-removing and confidence building affirmations and tips woven throughout. I thoroughly recommend this book to help overcome OBE related fear.

A big part of OBE related fear stems from trying to OBE at night.* At night, the world is fairly dark and creepy looking, with shadows everywhere.* Fear of the dark is a natural fear of the unknown that stems from childhood.* Astral realms may be bright and clear, but projectors have to get past the perceptions they have of the world around them being dark as night.* One of the best ways to overcome this is to practice the OBE exit during daylight hours.* Set an alarm to wake you at dawn.* I have yet to meet anyone who experiences fear during daytime OBE.* In fact, this is one of the most enjoyable activities I can think of.
