Geoff R's Experience

Experience description:   

I had spent the day with friends - in particular a girlfriend who I felt a strong spiritual connection with, although I might add that spiritual connections were not something I was looking for, or even interested in - it was just there, and felt electric....in the evening we decided to stay over at our friends flat and as it was a small flat we got some blankets and prepared to sleep on the floor. 

As we settled down together - physical intimacy didn't  enter into it , we just lay there feeling the  'electricity'. 

After about 30 minutes or so My friend put her hand in my hand - this was the first time we had touched each other intimately. 

The resulting effect this had was amazing.. 

Although awake I suddenly felt a huge force push me - like being hit by a car - I felt myself being pushed right out of my body and into another reality. 

Suddenly I was flying /floating over a strange world - colors seemed brighter greens greener blues bluer and all shimmering like jewels. 

I flew like this for about 10 minutes , first over moorland the hills and finally over a beach towards the sea. 

At this point suddenly felt pulled back - as if by a spring and snapped back into my body.

This experience I have never forgotten - but never repeated.
