I am pretty sure I posted this question before. But it has been at least a while so I wanted to ask again.
Sometimes I go into this state where my perception of my body changes. First my hands and arms feel like they are ten time their normal size. Sometimes they feel like they are normal size but made of bronze. Sometimes they will alternate between the two in spans of a less than a second or up to a couple of seconds. Most often I will just keep going from the feeling that my body is immensely huge and then immensely small. This last time it happened during a meditation my I could barely sense my breath. It felt like my breath was small and distant. It made breathing difficult.
It usually happens in stressfull times (I'm trying to buy a house) and has happened to me since I was a small child.
I was wondering if anyone has any information on it. I am concerned since it still happens and I was wondering if it has something to do with the seperation we feel when we leave our body. If it does have something to do with the seperation we have when we leave our body as when we die I want to do something about it now becuase the last thing I want to do is freak out because of this feeling when it's my time to pass on. I'd like to go as peacefully as possible.
Anyone?

Gosh, Nakis.... that is kinda tough to be going through what you described. I would think that maybe stress is helping to bring this on... but, I have no idea if the feeling would be connected with death or not. I wonder if someone who has gone through a near-death experience could answer some of your concerns? I have only done some OBE's, and I didn't get that kind of feeling about my body at all. I could feel my spirit leaving and returning to my body several times in rapid succession on some occasions. It was a feeling almost like the movement that a flat piece of paper makes when it drifts back and forth before it hits the floor... just imagine that last 'swoop' as it hits the floor, and imagine looping that movement back and forth very rapidly. That is how my spirit was entering and leaving my body, before it finally broke free and went into an OBE where I was flying. But, I really haven't had any experiences like yours. I sincerely hope it is just the stress, and hopefully that will be relieved soon with good news about your house. In the meanwhile, I send love and light, and my prayers for your tranquility to be restored.

Blessings,

Nakis I can't say I have ever felt that way exactly. And like azspirit, I have felt that feeling she describes where your astral body sort of fluctuates back and forth until it breaks free. My OBE involved a feeling where my hands were so light they lifted right up and whoosh I was out of my body. And I could feel a strong vibration throughout my body and could hear a loud buzzing sound. Yours sound like the opposite. I can't say for sure what you are experiencing, only that if I felt that way it would concern me too. When does this happen to you? Only when you meditate or at any time unexpectedly?

The OBE's you both had sound similar but different.
As a child it happened mostly at night. A couple of times it would actually affect my vision. Looking physically, not psychically, my vision would shift from things being very close to things being far away. And it only happened when I am under stress. It happens sometimes spontaneously. Usually just before I go to sleep. Other times when I meditate.
I read about something similar some years ago but I don't remember where I read it.
