Greetings,

Last night I told myself I had no intent to go OB, but then I had some solar plexus inner movement that was so strong I couldn't ease it by laying my hands across it, so I said OK. 
  Zippidy-doo! Out the top of my crown chakra/head went an inner subtle body!

I don't like inner inner bodies to leave first !  I always thought and always experienced that they peel off / shoot upward / whatever in their order of density/vibration: physical, astral/emotional, mental, etheric, Sanscrit name, Sanscrit name etc.

I knew it had to be an inner subtle body ('inside' astral) because my own physical and emotional consciousness were unaffected and stayed very clearly in the bedroom.  This is very unusual for me to have an inner body leave first. I sensed it rising and then meet another soul for a soul meld and then they rose some more and dissappeared from my sense of it.

If you go out of body, do you ever sense that your emotional/astral body has stayed in place and that some smaller, faster, less human-formed energy has taken off on its own and left your consciousness with the physical?

(It must have come back on its own because I feel OK now.)

Thanks, Vagabound

Hi Spooky,

I'd always assumed some essence of any 'lower"-vibe subtle body went with consciousness with the highest-fastest subtle body.  But this time the highest separated out and I lost any sense of it.
I assume my emotional body was just sitting aroound with my physical body, waiting for something to happen. Apparently I then eventually fell asleep.

  'Sides."" Ends."  Now I feel like a pieroggi all folded ! I didn't really sense any sides, and just one end, the crown or top as  that inner subtle body flew out.
I was more conscious in my body even though I'd expected my consciousness to go with the par that 'flew away.' 

I think I better just take a hint from another thread and try to get back to when retrievals etc were experienced without any sensation much and we just 'change the channel" of our minds like a TV. That would take care of my quandry.

Thank you for helping me look at this!

Hi Spooky,

Did you sense that the melting one stayed?  Like it had been a previusly lost subtle body?  --Did you sense more a feeling of completeness after it came back?
(Or was there any sense of threat to its being with you?)

Your situtation is more complex than mine because souls that come to you could have come for a variety of causes!

hey Spooky,
I know I'm not invited into the conversation but this sounds a lot like what happened to me; except that I remember when this piece of me left. I had asked for some "security" in case I get lost or destroyed. I was assured that this wouldn't happen but I was still scared. I was may be 6 or 7 then. So I was told they'll keep a piece of me safe and I'll get it back later.
I had forgotten all about it til I did get it back. Which was quite an experience; suddenly feeling like a 6 year old.

In your case it sounds like it was something that left you earlier that night. (just didn't wanna be in the dream   or may be stayed there for another minute   )

I don't really like talking about all those things because they're really confusing and there's no way to convince someone else that such things can happen. So I'm happy each time I hear of someone who's had similar experiences.

anyway, take care,
may the force be with you...

i wonder what the terrorists wud have to say on this all discussion....hmmm...

thanx,  

I saw this had developed into a conversation between you two and I didn't wanna be rude by interrupting. (just couldn't hold it back... )

hope spring over there is actually melting the snow, not bringing it back,
