James S Experience

Experience description:
I was
trying to (for lack of better word) meditate. Then suddenly I saw myself rising
up out of my body. My view then switched to seeing myself lying on my bed with
my eyes closed. I floated up towards the ceiling and stayed suspended there for
what seemed like several minutes. All the while gazing at myself feeling not
ecstatic, but elated that I seemed so peaceful. After a short period, I drifted
down to my body. I blinked my eyes and reached over to turn off the light. Then
went to sleep and was very rested the next morning.
