Curious about out-of-body experiences – but a little nervous? You’re not alone. Many first-timers feel fear when they leave their body for the first time (also known as astral projection).
In this episode, Dr. Clare Johnson talks about the three most common fears people face during OBEs, and how to move through them with calm and confidence.
She explores:
- Why the experience can feel intense at first
- How to stay grounded when things feel overwhelming
- Simple tools to shift fear into curiosity and calm
- What to remember if you’re afraid you won’t return to your body
