I was very curious about Soul Travel when I was new to Eᴄᴋᴀɴᴋᴀʀ and wanted to experience it for myself.
So, with great anticipation, I practiced my nightly spiritual exercises, hoping I would leave my body and travel the inner worlds as Soul.
But most of the time, I just dozed off to sleep and woke up the next morning with little recollection of any experiences. Still, I patiently wrote down in my journal whatever I learned from my dreams. This went on for a long time.
Then one night, it happened!
I was lying in bed, feeling very relaxed. Quietly, I began to sing HU, an ancient love song to God. As usual, I started dozing off to sleep.
All of a sudden, I had the sensation of feeling feathery light, as if I was floating on air. I knew my body was in bed, and yet there I was—floating!
With my eyes closed, I looked around with my inner vision. There were trees everywhere. Then I knew I was out of the body.
Slowly I floated toward the kitchen, and I found I was in the middle of a forest. The wall that separated the bedroom from the kitchen was gone. I looked toward what was supposed to be the kitchen window.
Instead of seeing the street, I saw a river surrounded by shrubs and trees and heard the sound of rushing water.
Happily, I said to myself, This is fantastic! I’m out of my physical body. This must be Soul Travel!
Then I accidently wiggled a toe on my right foot.
Immediately I was back in my body in bed. I remained awake for a while, trying to comprehend this incredible and awesome experience. It was so real!
As I lay there, I thought, So this is what Eᴄᴋᴀɴᴋᴀʀ is all about. It is a teaching to realize and know one’s True Self!
I had proven that I am Soul, a spiritual being that is separate from the physical body. It was the beginning of my conscious spiritual journey back home to God.
