Kelly from St. Louis, MO, asked:
Hi Julie,
Can someone experience one of the stages of death without dying?
For a few years now, I’ve been experiencing astral projections and sporadically seeing blue and white orbs at night.
A psychic once told me she thought I was healthy. She also said my spiritual family was trying to wake me up and would have a message for me on the next full moon.
That night I astral projected out of my body and started to float towards a white vortex of light. Scared I was going to die, I did everything I could to wake myself up. When I finally awoke, my ceiling was covered in blue orbs.
Although I’m young and healthy, after learning about your Twelve Phases of Transition®, I got worried.
Thanks for any insights you can offer.
Kelly
Hi Kelly,
Terrific question, the answer to which is absolutely!
Many people go through the Twelve Phases of Transition® (described in my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next) without dying.
It has been my experience that a person can move around in the Phases and even come completely out and live.
My brother Jay’s friend did exactly that. He was in Phase 11 and I didn’t expect him to last even another hour. And yet, fifteen years later, he’s still very much alive and well.
What you’ve been experiencing at night isn’t the Twelve Phases of Transition®, rather, it’s simply good, old-fashioned, astral travel.
Astral travel also known as astral projection is described in many ancient cultures as the soul or “astral body” intentionally leaving the physical body while asleep or meditating and traveling to wherever it likes.
Many experts believe we all astral travel each night when we sleep. It’s how we meet up with deceased loved ones and pets along with other spirits. Research seems to validate this concept.
A 2014 study conducted at the University of Ottawa, School of Psychology, found in an fMRI of a person voluntarily producing an out-of-body experience, that, “There were significantly activated regions of the brain while the participant was having extra-corporeal experiences.”
The blue orbs you’re seeing are the spirits with whom you’ve traveled on your nighttime adventure.
In summary, you are not dying, you’re just astral traveling.
Thank you for this insightful answer.
