Shade of the Twilight Zone, burn a mystic for Christ, we are about to get out of our bodies. Oooo, floating motes of intelligence, able to waft invisible into bank vaults and bedrooms everywhere! And it is all going to happen through a commonplace martial arts exercise, common in systems of Karate and Kung Fu, and especially wudan arts.

If you can lower the volume of the spooky music for a moment, I’ll explain. The out of body experience I am talking about is possible through Horse meditation, what we used to call Kima Chasie. In this article I am going to tell you exactly how to do that exercise, and what is going to happen

Some forty years ago I was working on my black belt, and I was frustrated with this horse meditation thing. My classmates and I would assume a deep horse stance, one hand in a high block, the other hand in a horizontal, hooked back beak hand. We would stare at our clenched fingertips until our legs shivered in weakness and sweat burst forth upon our innocent foreheads.

Yet, I knew the two minutes we spent in the drill were insufficient. I had heard the stories of guys who would stand in the stance for two hours, and how they became endowed with immortal powers. And, not to reveal my adolescent dreams, I wanted to be like superman.

The way to be superhuman, to be honest, is just to go ahead and do it. So I began doing Horse Meditation during evenings. I would stand in horse meditation until the ache became too great, and then break, and know that I had failed.

I decided that I had had enough, I was going to make it. I was going to become the most incredible, superhuman martial artist in the world…uh, other than Bruce Lee. I mean, I would be a God, but…Bruce is Bruce, you know?

So I assumed the deep horse stance, and when the pain started, I told myself one thing…it isn’t going to kill me. Sweat, shakes, dire thoughts of having my legs fill with blood and burst. But, having made the decision that I was going to do or die…POP…I did it.

I floated in space over my body, the world brilliant and forever, the source of immortality plain to see. I had succeeded in using the martial arts, and this method is good whether you study karate or kung fu or whatever, in realizing that I was a spirit, and that I was immortal, and that bodies were temporary things that you put on or take off as simply as one puts on a coat, or takes it off, or pants, they go on or off, too, and shoes, and socks, and skirts if you were a girl, and…I was myself. Then, after a few eternal minutes, I decided I should probably hop back into my fleshy carcass, so I did, and I lost control, my stance fell forward, and I couldn’t figure out how to move my body quickly enough, and I fell right, smack dab, square…on my face.
