Buhlman fan

I've read one of Buhlman's books and really liked it
so when I saw this audio book, I was thrilled.
This audio book has great techniques that help relax the mind and body.
Normally any type of hypnotic recording works for me initially
but is less effective on subsequent plays. The Buhlmam
recordings work every time. The visualization techniques seem
to work when I'm listening to them on the audio, less effective
when I try them without the audio. Although I've not been able to consistently have
Out of Body Experiences (OBE) thanks to Buhlman I know how to
react when I do have the experience.

I loved this audio book!

I have some of W. bulhman's books & just had to have this audio.although I have had several o.b.e's prior to reading his material. He has very good techniques! If you just put headphones on and listen to this nightly or while napping you will have an o.b.e.
Honestly..You can go ANYWHERE!
The two most memorable adventures I have had are Heaven, and Turkey.
I learned , that as soon as you re-enter your body, lay there with your eyes closed & go over every detail. Then IMMEDIATLY.. get up and write or type it down! It is an experience you will never want to forget! And YES.. I did write down my entire journey's in detail!
I am considering writting a book of my own in the future!

Perfect Book For Those Pursuing an OBE

This book was amazing and is a must "hear" for those who have either had a spontaneous OBE and want to know more about it or those attempting to have an OBE for the first time. This book will get you on your way to understanding what the Out of Body Experience is all about and goes through several techniques and methods of initiating the OBE. The author is the narrator, which I personally love. He knows his material and is able to express personal experiences and stories in a way a regular narrator would not be able to. This is his book and his experiences and I feel we are lucky to have the opportunity to share them.

Scientifically written,spiritual yet not religious

If you could sum up How to Have an Out of Body Experience in three words, what would they be?

Extraordinarily simple

What was one of the most memorable moments of How to Have an Out of Body Experience?

That someone could explain an OBE in such simple terms

Have you listened to any of William Buhlman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I had heard a few podcasts.
This one puts all techniques in one place. Very handy.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, absolutely

Any additional comments?

I bought a few other OBE / astral travel books before. Some had religious tones, required you to believe into things. I want to KNOW, not just believe. Others had incomplete guidance.

Author has done a very good job with this audiobook. I give 5 stars.

This book has different chapters dedicated to different techniques. Usually, one technique would resonate with listener's being. Author himself suggests listening through the whole book, and select the technique you feel most comfortable with. But it is not possible to separate one technique with this audiobook. This is the only gripe I have.

CONS:
I cannot take out one chapter and play it just once. If I fall asleep during the guided meditation (which you are supposed to do), the recording will continue to play through all chapters, or else loop in the same chapter over and over again.

Informative & covers a lot of territories

Would you listen to How to Have an Out of Body Experience again? Why?

Yes I'd listen again to help recall some of the important points about various relaxation techniques to induce obes, as well as how to control my spiritual self once I come out.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved that he covered so much unknown territory. The most fascinating parts were the limitless freedom & knowledge we can access out of our physical bodies, as well as the spiritual control we have, & that nothing can harm us there.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite part was probably where he talks about our ability to explore our complete present life's history from any perspective, as well as our past lives!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

My most extreme reaction to this book was that it explained so many useful, creative &, unexpected ways to use this ability. It actually made me much more determined to pursue access this spiritual world, which I haven't been able to do on a conscious level yet. (this book made my current INability much more frustrating lol)

Any additional comments?

This book contains many valuable tips I never would have thought of. So it's worth listening to again!:)) BUT his hypnosis chapters did NOTHING to help me. It's probably my own fault for having such a scattered mind & poor relaxation habits.

Nothing new here...

The book consists of a series of what are essentially guided relaxation exercises rather than more specific, helpful instructions on attaining an authentic out-of-body experience. The author's vague comments on his own experiences, which almost seem indistinguishable from more prosaic nighttime dream states, are uninteresting and not in any way instructive. I was very disappointed by this work and can see why the price was so dramatically reduced.

The experience was akin to that of rubberneckers at an accident scene being told by police, "Nothing here, folks - move on." It's little more than yawnworthy.

Painfully repetitive, but some great concepts

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Certain phrases were repeated way too many times... to the point it was painfully distracting from the otherwise profound underlying message. It was worth the listen, however.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Some examples were great. Technique ideas were excellent.

Did William Buhlman do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

n/a

Was How to Have an Out of Body Experience worth the listening time?

Yeah, I'll concede that.

Any additional comments?

Probably should have had a couple more objective editors. The narrator sounded like he was giving a presentation or live talk.

Wishing for Out of Body

Wishing I was out of body so I didn't have to hear this drivel.

OK obviously I give the possibility of an out of body experience credibility, because I bought this book.

The subject matter itself I have no conflict with. It's these guys who present their experiences and theories In a "I just got off the spaceship" fashion.

I do not doubt that Bulhman has experienced something. But much of his presentation of the subject matter is like a "Carni" sideshow hypnosis routine. And if I'm going to be hypnotized into believing that I'm leaving my body, am my actually leaving my body, or am I just being given a suggestion of that?

For once I'd like to hear a theory in a scientific format, as to what is possibly happening during this mind state that allows for this perceived out of body experience.

Bulhman uses terminology without any definition. He repeats himself continuously, over, and over, and over again to the point where you want to pull your hair out.

There are a lot of books that I really want to hear on Audible that Audible does not have. This kind of book,
I would gladly ask Audible to remove so that we can all hear something much more entertaining and informative.

Mr. Bulhman I'm sorry but good gosh!!

Very informative and easy to follow and understand

What made the experience of listening to How to Have an Out of Body Experience the most enjoyable?

This book is a great introduction to out of body experiences. Its methods and exercises are straight forward and easy to practice. The author also includes many short stories of his own experiences which gives the reader some idea of what to expect during an experience.

Awful Narrator, Good Book

He at book, direction & explanation, however...The narrator stumbles over words, gets stuck in pauses as he gets to read onward.

He did great with explaining OBE & teaching. He does get better as he reads on, so hang in there.
It's worth it
