Why do we sometimes sound that "we leave our body"?

In Lifestyle we are always inquiring about the world of dreams.In this article we investigate a very special kind of dream experience: «leaving the body».

There are many people who claim to have had an experience of these characteristics: that of being asleep and suddenly feeling like a part of them leaves the body. It is common, for example, to look from above, to feel a sensation of weightlessness and observing the room and oneself in perfect detail.

It is what is commonly known as «extracorporeal experience» and, although there is no scientific agreement that clarifies why This happens, the testimonies of many people are there.It is a mystery and, since we do not have any theoretical and scientific corpus that offers us an answer, it has been the field of the paranormal who collects these facts to try to give truth to a aspect: the existence of the soul, of that independent energy of our body.

Let us then analyze the two trends - scientist and supernatural -to draw our own conclusions.

1.Scientific trend of extracorporeal experiences

Why do we sometimes sound that

Why does the human being sound or experience a part of him leaving his body? There are several investigations that have been carried out to analyze this experience.The curious thing about this phenomenon is that it usually happens in several very specific situations :

  • When We sleep.
  • When we are under the effects of anesthesia.During a surgical intervention, for example.
  • During near death experiences.

For scientific corporations such as the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne (EPFL), in Switzerland, for example, these extracorporeal experiences are only a result of brain confusion.To testify to their claim, some Experiments in 2007, in which a brain region associated with visual and tactile circuits was electrically stimulated: the temporoparietal zone.

Why do we sometimes sound that

The people who formed p Art of the experiment claimed to feel as if, suddenly, they were expelled from their body, something that was always preceded by a sensation of body paralysis.The research was led by Professor Olaf Blanke and the University of Geneva , being published later in The Telegraph. The conclusions reached were the following and are worth considering:

  • The sensation of detachment, or Leaving our body while we sleep would be due to a small alteration of our brain and not to any spiritual dimension.
  • Researchers believe that these results show that the detachment of The body itself occurs when the brain is confused and there is a neuronal overexcitation.A contradiction between the visual system and the corporeal.
  • This phenomenon would be related to the paralysis of the I dream. Sometimes, so When we go through moments of certain stress or anxiety, we reconcile a dream in which our brain is still overexcited.It is so active that it continues to stimulate many of our brain regions in a very intense way.However, our body is relaxed.it causes nightmares to be very vivid : we can see, feel, smell...the senses are sharpened because the brain has these regions activated and, therefore, everything is incredibly real.
  • If the brain also stimulates this temporoparietal zone, then the extracorporeal experience will occur, the same that many people suffer in the middle of an operation or even when they are on the verge of death.

Do you agree?

2.Scientific spiritualist explanation

Why do we sometimes sound that

There are many people who, while respecting the scientific vision, disagree.The main points on which they differ are the following:

  • Sometimes, when they experience the sensation of being outside the body, they are not asleep.
  • When they leave their bodies they are able to see details very precise to associate it with a dream or a nightmare.
  • These extracorporeal experiences are not only associated with the bed, to see themselves from up in that place where one is sleeping, at all.There are people who claim to go beyond, move through the house and even out of it.
  • Those who accept the concept of soul they associate this phenomenon with astral travel, which consists in detaching our soul from that physical envelope called body, to access an astral dimension (often associated with the fourth dimension).on).

These are complex aspects that undoubtedly require a deeper analysis, but, for now, we will stay with the essentials, with this "split" that many people experience-a Sometimes in a casual way-and that, despite the initial fear, they decide to delve deeper into their understanding and develop it.It is then that they start in relaxation and meditation techniques to propitiate this phenomenon again and enjoy it.Something very religions Ancient have been practicing since ancient times.

We cannot conclude with any indisputable answer as to why it happens, nor discern whether it is due to small alterations of our brain or to something more mystical and spiritual dimensions.From Lifestyle, we invite you to share your opinion and experiences to enrich us among all.

We are waiting for your comments!

Ghrelin On the occasions when we sleep little our body compensates for the hours of sleep lost by accumulating fat, increasing the reserves of our body.Therefore, the sensation of hunger increase, since when we sleep little we produce ghrelin , a hormone that increases appetite .In addition, it helps the storage of lipids in the abdomen, a fat that costs a lot to eliminate.
