Out of Body

Suspended as if in water, a maiden drifts through dappled woods, white dress billowing about her. A choir of butterflies swirls around her drifting form. She is the picture of tranquility, yet her spirit soars untethered. Freed from the limits of the physical plane, consciousness is cast adrift in the Astral realm of dreams and imagination. Unbound by space and time, the soul travels to places beyond terrestrial conception.

The streamers of light enveloping the maiden emanate from a craft beyond human engineering. Yet she welcomes their otherworldly beauty, innately understanding life’s diversity across the cosmos. Though her physical shell lies resting, her essence now goes where curiosity beckons. Worlds beneath microscopic lenses suddenly expand before her sight. The enormity of galaxies and nebulae surround her. She moves beyond past and future into the eternal now.

With transcendental vision, she comprehends existence’s expanse. But retains her innocence, approaching creation with beginner’s eyes. She greets alien lifeforms as long-lost friends, knows all emerge from the same universal source. This unearthly encounter leaves her neither startled nor afraid. For deep within lingers the remembrance that before incarnation, these strange lands were once home. This is but a reunion with aspects of herself extending through infinity’s mirror.

The nature of reality proves far more malleable outside the body’s limiting prism. Yet when the time comes to return, she brings back fragments of wonders glimpsed. Her consciousness integrates and expands to hold more cosmic truth.

So when your soul needs respite from earthly burdens, release its grip on mundane matters. Let your essence ascend through veils of illusion. Higher knowledge awaits those bold enough to transcend habitual perceptions. Through meditation, shamanic journey, lucid dreaming, or hypnotic trance, cultivate the power of astral travel. But always let your cosmic flights be guided by intuitive wisdom and never brute mental force. Return to your body restored, renewed with expanded vision.
