soul travel

By Suzie, Ontario

I was very curious about Soul Travel when I was new to Eᴄᴋᴀɴᴋᴀʀ and wanted to experience it for myself.

So, with great anticipation, I practiced my nightly spiritual exercises, hoping I would leave my body and travel the inner worlds as Soul.

But most of the time, I just dozed off to sleep and woke up the next morning with little recollection of any experiences. Still, I patiently wrote down in my journal whatever I learned from my dreams. This went on for a long time.

Then one night, it happened!

I was lying in bed, feeling very relaxed. Quietly, I began to sing HU, an ancient love song to God. As usual, I started dozing off to sleep.

All of a sudden, I had the sensation of feeling feathery light, as if I was floating on air. I knew my body was in bed, and yet there I was—floating!

With my eyes closed, I looked around with my inner vision. There were trees everywhere. Then I knew I was out of the body.

Slowly I floated toward the kitchen, and I found I was in the middle of a forest. The wall that separated the bedroom from the kitchen was gone. I looked toward what was supposed to be the kitchen window.

Instead of seeing the street, I saw a river surrounded by shrubs and trees and heard the sound of rushing water.
