Is it possible to feel like you are above your body while meditating?

9 Comments

My mom and cousin both meditate. They were talking about how after meditating for awhile, you can feel as if you are above your body. I asked my dad about this and he said that kids who did drugs in college talked about feeling above their body. (neither my mom or cousin do drugs:), but anyway is this possible? also if it is what can you describe what it is like of what they mean when they say you feel like you are above your body?

It is possible 22
its not possible 2

    Yeah its possible to feel sort of away from the body. I don't think direction matters though, I always feel like I'm sinking or below myself.

    I do all the time, I usually feel tingly sensations at the crown of my head. I am not sure what is is forgive me for how this sounds but I think it is my energy flow or something like that.

    I meditate quite extensively, never felt like I'm above my body. Felt completely aware of my body and completely oblivious of my body without regret, never above my body though.

    I am above everyone even above myself. There is no stopping me. I am from another realm.

    If you believe it's so then you will feel it. You are likely the type of person that can be hypnotized.

    Every time I try meditating I feel like i'm falling asleep. I don't believe in it because of this.

    Could be wrong, but I think people mistake sleeping for meditation.

      1) your doing it wrong 2) meditation isn't magic or religion there is no 'I don't believe in it'. Meditation just is try saying that you don't believe in gravity and jump. 3)Meditation is completely different from sleep.
