This might be a technicality and I might be splitting hairs, but there’s a part of me that seriously doubt that you ever actually leave your body in any way or form. What I mean by that is I don’t think you naturally create a spirit double of yourself that goes anywhere. It seems to me that the best description is that you don’t leave your body, but that when you Soul travel your mind recreates that world. In other words it’s not a journey outside of yourself, it’s a journey within yourself. Meaning that you already have all the answers as you’re tied into this universe and the only thing that you’re doing is accessing them. So yes, I might Soul travel in the sense that my mind creates the illusion of going there, but I think what’s going on is I simply pull from the universe to recreate that construct in my mind and then I simply act on it accordingly. That being said, when I act on it in my mind, it becomes manifest in the real world. Anyway that’s my take and I may change my mind on things later on but to me that just seems like the best description. I find that when I try to act this way that Soul travel is effortless. But when I try to go to these exercises and force myself to do it, it seems extremely unnatural.
