Astral projection and out of body experiences....

Have you ever felt like you were dreaming but somehow find that you are looking at yourself sleeping on the bed some time in the middle of the night? For most of us, we just call it dreams we sometimes have, but for some it could be a form of OBE, or commonly known as out-of-body-experience, or astral projection.

Although I cannot confirm the truth to such things, I think I might have had one of these experiences. For the past 3 months or so, I have been getting weird dreams, sometimes awfully vivid and scary. There were times I find myself seeing people I have never met, know names that do not ring a bell, see events that I have never come across in my entire life.

Because dreams like these came so frequently, I could have sworn that I was experiencing OBEs or something along those lines. You'd probably think I am crazy if I said the dreams felt so incredibly real that I could have sworn I could reach out my hands and feel what I was seeing.

Most of the time I end up waking up out of sudden, and realising I am in my bed. Some friends of mine said I could be just going through one of those bad sleep habit periods and my mind just isn't at rest. But if these sort of dreams happen close to everyday for almost 3 months, it really does get me wondering about whether are there mere dreams or something more.

But over the past 2 to 3 weeks the frequency of these dreams have slowly decreased as I take some timeout during weekdays to just do some yoga meditation to just calm my mind down and try to relax my body. Goes to show, the mind sure can play tricks on you if you are not in the right awareness to control your own mind.

Search out OBE and astral projection on Wikipedia. It is quite interesting to read about it actually! :)

All it takes is a little encouragement

"A Life at Work" by Thomas Moore is currently the book I am reading. I have reached about half way so far and it has really given me a lot of in sight about my destiny or at least pointers to get me on my way to figure out what my life work is (i.e. your ideal work, work that fulfills you from the inside, food-for-the-soul kind of work). It's still a work in progress thing for me; a long way from reaching the full discovery point (if I ever reach it). Your life work can be as simple as helping old folks in need in a nursing home to something as simple as being a life guard. Simplest of work can be the most rewarding to a person's hear that's deep down. Of course, there's no denying that it is different for everyone. But sometimes, if not all the time, all it takes is a little encouragement from the people around you. Sometimes it is as simple as, "a job well done chump!" or "way to go bud!" or "you hit the home run mate!" or even

one foot in the past, another in the future........ what about the present?

All of us go through a cycle, what we commonly call - the past, present and the future. It can probably be summed up by this simple phrase: " we come from the past to be in the present and look forward to the future ". Now, what I want you to do is take a step back, or just give your mind a minute or two to digest the above mentioned phrase. Ask yourself if it applies to you. Really ask yourself; and I mean REALLY ask yourself in the most honest of manner, whether it really applies to you. You may find it difficult to arrive at a 'yes' and even if you do, you probably find yourself in a paralysis state of mind trying to justify the 'yes'. If you really ponder about it, you are likely to find that most of us would find this phrase more relevant instead: " we come from the past and look forward to the future " You will find many of us either hang on to the past or look far too forward into the future, or likely for some to even be dwelling too much in

Quick update.........

Having graduated last year in August and taking a break in Australia visiting my brother for a month, I really felt good about everything. Things just got better after that, having landed a job at Ernst & Young! :) Aaaaaahhhhh.... how fast time actually goes by! Passing the 10th of January 2007, I have already been working for 3 months. The feeling of getting older and learning new things everyday at work brings about a feeling of satisfication. Although, work is generally tough and tedious (what do you expect in the auditing line?). I must admit though, when I fast started off I did feel demotivated and some what unhappy with the job having to go back home at 3am and back to work by 8am the next day. I did think about quitting at that time........ :( However, a miracle happened to me! That miracle brought along a girl named Vern Cheng. Without her support, I would have struggled a lot more. After work, just seeing her brings about a feeling of happiness and a feeling of being cont
