About this session
- Relaxes the body
- Builds body awareness
- Sparks curiosity
- Quiets the mind
Ruwan Meepagala leads you through a gentle preparation for a conscious out of body experience, often called astral projection. You begin with slow nose breathing and a patient relaxation of your spine, hips, legs, arms and head. Then you picture a hanging cord and imagine your energy body sitting up while your physical body stays heavy.
It suits curious listeners who want to explore energy body awareness in a calm, unhurried way. Use it at night, when you have time to lie undisturbed. You can simply visualize and let whatever happens happen. A closing grounding sequence of squeezes and taps brings you fully back before you open your eyes.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What is the rope for?
The rope is a visualization aid. You imagine it hanging above your chest, grabbing it with one or both hands and pulling yourself up to sitting. The idea is to imagine your energy body sitting up while your physical body stays heavy and horizontal. Later you use the same rope to lie back down.
Why does the session spend so long relaxing the body first?
The relaxation moves from your spine through your pelvis, thighs, lower legs, feet, arms, neck, head and face. Each area is invited to feel heavy and almost melt off the bones. The session suggests that if your body can become that relaxed, you might be able to let go of it for a moment.
What is the breathing at the start about?
You breathe only through your nose and notice the pace of each breath. You are invited to shrink the gap between inhale and exhale so they blend together, and to make breathing feel easy and effortless. You also take a moment to smile inwardly, telling your body it can sink deeper.
What if I only visualize and feel nothing unusual?
That is welcome. The session says that if you felt something like leaving your body, that is great, and if all you did was visualize, that is also great. It suggests repeating the track or practicing on your own, and says it may feel more possible over time.
Why does it end with squeezing and tapping?
It is a grounding step. You squeeze your arms and legs with your actual physical hands, not just in imagination. Then you tap your arms, torso, and if comfortable your head and legs. When you feel fully back in your body, you open your eyes and sit up.
What happens when I float up to the ceiling?
After climbing the rope a little more, you imagine your lower body separating too and feeling light enough to float up. You wonder what you would see, whether you could look back down on yourself, and how the room looks from above. Then you return, first into your legs, then your upper body.
