I have had three conscious OOBEs and I could feel very strong energy all around myself. When I was first interested in lucid dreaming a few months ago, I saw a yellow ball of light travel into my window while fully awake in the middle of the day. It wasn't light you see from the sun it seemed to be more "alive." I've always thought that I saw some sort of energy that day..
Anyone have any insight on that?edit on 29-9-2013 by SecretsOfMe because: (no reason given)

A little late to the party here, but figured I'd post anyway.
I don't "see" energy, but I sense it a lot. For one, I'm an empath so I'm always picking up on peoples emotions. However, I don't know what you'd call it really, auras maybe, but I can feel energy from certain people and places. Ever since I was little I would instantly know if someone was trustworthy. I don't really know how to explain it any more than I can tell if someone is a trustworthy person or a questionable person as soon as I meet them. Also, I get feelings from certain places, but so far it's only been places where something horrible happened. One such place was in Pearl Harbor.
It can be a bit of a burden sometimes but I'm slowly learning to control it.

Well, it's weird for me. I started seeing and sensing energy when I moved into my first house, The Pyramid. I've written a little thread about it which I'm yet to update but you can read it here - My experience of living in a Pyramid!
Anyway, it all began then for me. Which was also around the time I began meditation and astral projection techniques. I think moving into the Pyramid somehow released up some kind of energy block for me and since then it's been one heck of a wild ride! I'm not complainig, I love the unknown and mysterious!
....Although my partner can sometimes be a little sceptical. One example of me being able to see energy is when I walk through my house on occasions I'll be able to see a kind of doorway of energy and when I walk through it I can actually sense the feeling of it. It's very hard to explain....

SecretsOfMe, how large was the yellow ball of light? Did you get any other feelings from it other than it seemed more alive, e.g. did it have positive/negative feeling? Or just neutral?

I think some people are sensitive to energies while others aren't.
Probably no different to an athlete who can run 100 mtrs under 10 seconds.
Or a Mathamatician who can come up with all kinds of equations in their head.
We are all gifted in some way, its just that most of us dont realise it.
As I said my kid can see people as colours and numbers and yet she has struggled with maths her whole life.
It took me all my time to teach her, her times tables and she is 18 and still cant read a normal clock.
Just means that her brain is working better in some areas than in others.
Some people utilize their abilities in ways that can make them money or famous, while others abilities are more mundane and go unrewarded.
I’ve been able to see and feel energy since the age of 20, 21 years ago. I was always sensitive and had episodes of deja vu , premonitions, dreams etc.
It first happened while walking along a beachside, rainforest track with my ex. I stated to see shimmery, misty, moving, red/pink/violet with some blue/green energy in the air and running through forms.
Also glowing lines of energy with fractal patterns, connecting things and composing things. It was amazing! And I had a deep sense of love and connectedness.
I grabbed a particularly inviting looking overhanging branch, it felt good, I could feel a vibration, and energy started radiating out from it.
At this point my ex said “I can see that, the energy” and then I was completely overwhelmed by joyous emotion, as my belief system did not incorporate such phenomena up until that point, and I had thought I might be hallucinating.
She had always seen it and called it “the pattern” and had been told, by relatives who could also see, not to talk about it. An echo of the inquisition perhaps.
This is the ethric pattern that underlies and forms reality, uncollapsed wave forms and mandala like information.
I’ve seen various beings, ghosts, elementals, shadows and nasties.
Occasionally the glowing, fractally line things take up large portions of my field of vision. The lines sort of open up into more fractals, moving shapes and colours, which is somewhat disconcerting because it feels a little like going blind, unable to see normally. I’ve found in these situations that I just “know” the way, and if I trust this, I don’t walk into doors or anything. It looks beautiful.
Everything also seems to flicker, vibrate and be composed of little light balls
the Tibetans call them thigle, those that still have the traditional wisdom paint them. Bruce Cathie has some interesting theories about this, that say reality cycles between matter and antimatter/energy the whole time and our brains fill in the gaps. When you begin to be conscious in these gaps, you start to see energy, through time and space.
Anyway, thanks for listening to my ramblings.

So tell me, do you really believe there is a technique to all this?

It was in my room for about 5 seconds before going under my bed. My bed was in the middle of the room and the window was to the left of the bed if you're looking at the bed. It was about a foot long as it had a beginning and an end (it was more spherical). I felt very positive feelings, love, awe, forgiveness, and reassurance.edit on 1-10-2013 by SecretsOfMe because: (no reason given)
I too have experienced the swirling colors that turn into a vortex type shape, as well as what I would describe as layers of energy fields while doing so...If I get in the right groove I've even seen random scenes morph into shape from these types of experiences.
Later on I just started meditating closing my eyes, but yet focusing on the back of my eye lids..while wearing a sleeping pad over my eyes. (I do this because I usually can't tell if my eyes are open or not, and I want to be sure that what I'm seeing is really..."all in my head". So I know with a sleeping pad on that I'm not seeing colors or lights because my eyes are slightly opened.
Anyway, while doing this in the dark I've experienced all kinds of odd things...For instance...When i'm really in the groove the swirling energy that I see either morphs into a wormhole type structure. I've found that I can zoom in on it by staring at it and focusing on it intently. Many times at the end of the wormhole I can see a scene of some sort.
Other times if I zoom into the hole there is a 'star field' that is at the end of it...meaning that it looks like I'm staring up into the night sky and see stars. There is always an incredible feeling that i'm in a large open space..like a dark warehouse, or Imax theatre...definitely I experience depth of field.
Other scenes include whispy shadows of people...many times just crowds of people, shadowy etheric looking...many times i can only make out their form and maybe the shape of their face, wearing a hat, and a few times their facial features come into view. I feel like I'm in a glass bubble floating around in front and through them. I've seen short scenes of old cities, open prairies, covered wagons, medieval looking stuff, only to get a glimpse of it before it morphs into something else. I usually get too excited and pop out of it instead of maintaining my vibe.
Another interesting thing is that I have these freaky lights that come on, right at the peripheral areas of my eyes..the far right and left...They are like LED lights...usually red on one side and green on the other..sometimes blue or white. They just turn on, like a christmas light but I can't ever look at them directly because they disappear when i try to look to the right or left.
Don't what the heck that's all about...But sometimes when the field in front of me is dark, I've seen what looks exactly like a spot light come on at the top of my vision...it will pop on, swivel back and forth and light up the area at the 'floor' of my vision. Anybody else had this? Sometimes I've seen it while watching tv when zoned in on a scene of some sort.
Here's my opinion on some of this... I tend to think at the moment, that when i'm in that state of mind it's like there are infinite layers of energy swirling around in front of me...different colors that just pass through each other...it's like each layer is paper thin, transparent and depending on where I place my focus will determine what layer I see. This whole experience is also very interactive. I get the sensation like I'm floating or flying over a landscape, but if i direct my focus or attention in a certain way I can zoom in on a form, turn around in circles, go forward and backward etc...I can also affect that I see by how I focus on it. Sometimes if I 'spin" around in circles a different scene will appear with forms of people or places..
It's much like an estereogram..the pictures that you stare at for a few minutes and then a 3d image will pop out in front of you...look it up if you havn't tried this before and it will give you an idea of the sensation I get when energy comes into focus and creates a picture...like it's been there all the time but you just have to tune into it.
Once I had the experience, in a movie theatre, where I was practicing while the trailors were playing and I could swear that as I was reaching for my drink, with my eyes closed, that I saw the form of my arm and hand in a bluish energy field that slowly focused into actually seeing with my eyes closed. I had to touch my eye lids to make sure they were closed...totally wierd and only happened once. But I can't say for sure that it was real as I didn't have on my sleeping pad...so it's possible that my eyes were slightly opened allowing me to see...but it was a really cool experience.
I also get a loud high pitched ringing in my ears while doing these types of things.
I usually listen to either binarul beats, or a nice "ohm" track on youtube that last about an hour.
There's probably other things too that don't come to mind and I don't like posting such a long essay here, but have been wanting to bounce this off of others as I don't have any friends close by that are interested in this kind of thing.
However, the most physical thing that has improved since doing this is my vision. I'm 49 and for several years have had to look at small print from an arms distance as my close up vision has gotten worse due to age I suppose...but now, strangely enough, I can read fine print right up to 2 inches in front of my nose! Not sure how that happened of why but it's defintely true.
Perhaps focusing on the inbetween spaces, the empty air so to speak has worked some eye muscles along the way. I've defintely felt muscles in my eyes moving while meditating..like my puples dialating or stretching or something.
In any case, I'm kind of addicted to this kind of meditating...each time is a different experience and a welcome relief from the 3d world we have to live in.
Not sure if it's all in my head/subconscience construct, or that i'm tuning into different frequencies or dimensions somehow or what, but it's fun. It's interesting, and I would love to develop it to it's full potential..for whatever benifit it may have.
So, there ya go. Hope this helps someone else. So sorry this is long and drawn out.
Feeling and seeing 'energy' is something I've been into for nearly 30 years, the seeing has developed lately but I've been feeling stuff as long as I can remember, and formally since I picked up my first Taoist Meditation book.
What I see most commonly if I can get into 'state' is what I refer to as the near death tube, it is a tube/vortex of multicolored walls of vibrating energy or something that looks like that, and you can move along it once you learn how.
I haven't read the thread, but I am guessing there will be a conversation about studies and science around the paranormal with particular emphasis on things like telepathy and energy sensing. I recommend Sheldrake.org if that hasn't already been posted, he's actually done a lot of this kind of research apparently.
I've way too many experiences to begin posting them, but I can recommend a free tool to help you get some more of your own: www.openlounge.org...

Well, a lot of times it's a feeling of sadness. Hard to explain, just a feeling of sadness or depression.
Until I acknowledge that I feel their presence they are dark masses.
Once I interact with them they present themselves...sometimes physically and sometimes in my mind.
My only "intent" is to protect myself and family
but also allow a dialogue that will satisfy them.
Like I said, I attract negative or angry energy, so I try to calm that anger.
The freakiest one is seeing and feeling a living person, while they are miles away! Long and involved story, but the basics are someone I had only met once, started to appear in my garden every few days, a year after we met. Eventually we started dating another year later, seeing each other every week or two. Just before hand, I started to feel him around me, to the extend I would turn to talk to him then realise he wasn't there. Things went a bit odd, didn't speak for a couple of weeks, although he was still always around, then he came and said good bye! strangely I didn't hear from him for a month, then 6 days ago he appeared, cuddled me, told me everything will be ok and he will never leave me again. two days ago, he started up minor contact again.
this is the second time in my life I have experienced this, can anyone explain?
Another energy experience is that for the past twenty years I have been seeing white mist about 4 foot off the ground, 4 foot across, 2 foot down. It always reassures me, but I have no idea what energy causes it, in fact for a long time I thought it was all in my head, until my grown up son asked me what it was, I was stunned someone else could see it. any advice ideas or explanations?
