The phenomena within the event of that of the OBE ( out of body experience ) itself, seem nearly endless, but within them are one that I have felt for some time to write more than the blurb, or paragraph or two I have thus far given to the subject — KUMBHAKA, breath cessation; which so it be said at the start, is not total, for this would bring it into being synonymous with what we call “death”, however, within the state, the breath is so greatly altered as to effectively, for all due purpose live up to its name. In this article I will describe in detail, as best I can, what I witness within my experience of this particular observable event, emphasizing that what is shared will be limited to that of my own discrete experience with the phenomenon, which includes multiple dozens of individual experiences wherein it occurred synchronously with that of the OBE.
I would begin thus:
The decades prior to, and leading into my awakening —the latter of which marks the point at which I began making fully conscious shifts out of body —I taught yoga. More specifically, when teaching, I focused on its middle limb – pranayama (breath awareness and breathing patterns). In meditation, my basic stance has been either 1) siddhasana (to sit upright) or savasana (to lay down), 2) focus the attention at the brow, and 3) maintain awareness of the breath.
