kehavälise

kehavälise is an Estonian term that translates to "out-of-body experience" in English. It describes a subjective sensation where a person perceives themselves as being outside of their physical body. During such an experience, an individual may feel as though they are observing their own body from a distance, or they might feel a sense of disembodiment where their consciousness is detached from their physical form. These experiences can vary greatly in intensity and content, ranging from mild sensations of floating to vivid journeys through different environments.

Out-of-body experiences have been reported across various cultures and throughout history, often associated with altered states of consciousness. These states can be induced through different means, including meditation, deep relaxation, certain neurological conditions, or even as a result of trauma or near-death events. While some scientific explanations suggest that kehavälise experiences might arise from unusual activity in the brain, particularly in areas related to self-perception and body representation, others explore psychological and spiritual interpretations. The precise mechanisms and the subjective reality of these experiences remain a subject of ongoing research and discussion.
