Leaving the body

Why would anyone want to leave their body? Would they die? I don’t believe so. I also think I have left my body earlier on after I came into the Teachings of the Ascended Masters.  This leaving of the body does bring up some varying questions and theories. Are you the body? Most people would  say of course you are your body. What do you think? Is it important to leave the body? I think so, though you generally do it when you sleep, so you can re-charge your body. In Autobiography of a Yogi, they say everyone reaches Samadhi when they sleep. The difference is if you are conscious of it or not.

This is the same for anything. Everything changes when you become conscious while practising whatever it is. Mindfulness is the start of it I believe, though being conscious of it while doing it changes your consciousness and the practice seems to expand. Mindfulness Is very useful for getting absorbed in what you are doing and leads to selflessness. So if you leave the body every night and you have no memory of it, does it have any benefit for you?

It would seem to be far better to leave the body and remember having left the body and retaining that memory when you come back into your body. Why can’t you remember what happens when you leave your body while asleep? Some people remember dreams and this can be helpful if you write them down once you awaken. Just have a pad beside your bed with a pencil or pen and write down what is in your consciousness as you awake. I did this many years ago and most of my dreams were extremely weird in the light of day.

Some of them were more real at least, to me. So, I suppose this all a moot point to most people, though seeing we sleep about a third of our life, it might help us to find out what goes on in this part of life, rather than be unaware.

All of this is more interesting than we have been made aware of. There are many facets to sleep and for that matter to breathing than the average person is cognizant of. So, leaving the body – is it healthy? Since you do it automatically when you sleep, it’s probably relatively healthy and safe at least. If you are up to Kof lesson seven, then there is an exercise given to leave your body. Try that if you wish.
