The Out-of-Body Experience with Luis Minero

Luis Minero is president of the International Academy of Consciousness. He is also author of Demystifying the Out-of-Body Experience.

Here he describes some of the essential features of the out-of-body experience – such as the ability to see one’s own body as if one were hovering above it and looking down. He contrasts the out-of-body experience with other similar experiences including astral travel, remote viewing, and the near-death experience. He explains that he began having spontaneous experiences as a teenager; and, over time, learned to control them. He suggests that the best approach to cultivate out-of-body experiences is to treat it as a yoga-like discipline – rather than to have it induced by external stimulation such as audio recordings.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is a past vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology; and is the recipient of the Pathfinder Award from that Association for his contributions to the field of human consciousness. He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.
