greetings and welcome Pam
and Sidey, if I haven't welcomed you yet --
There is nothing out there that can hurt you. You are stronger because you have access to physical energies, including and especially love, or as Bruce Moen puts it, PUL (Pure Unconditionnal Love.)
Can you offer PUL to people not related or known to you, or even to an annoying pest? That's all it takes to move through higher realms where love is more a way of being than it is here.
What you two are talking about is why I'm so glad I read Bruce's work. (This is not a commercial.) He explains his own experiences in a series of four books and then tells you how to do the same in the fifth, The Guidebook to Afterlife Experiences.
Have you looked into the spiritual traditions or contemporary explorers who have done this alot? Yes, certain tones will lift you out; that's been proven. But what are you going to do when you get there? IMO a person needs some belief systems based upon knowledge (someone's knowledge) to go into the non-physical.
