Time Shifts

Time Shifts is a comprehensive examination of sudden, accidental “time slips”—shifting from ordinary reality into the past or future.

Sharing detailed accounts from people who have experienced time slips, including the author’s own experiences, the book delves into the practices of shamans, yoga masters, and Samadhi mystics who use trance-like meditative states to travel outside normal space and time.

The book offers step-by-step exercises to prepare you to experience time shifts, guide you in setting them up, and enhance the experience when you have slipped through time.

Von Braschler examines criticisms of and scientific support for this phenomenon, debunking claims that time slips are delusions or remembrances of past lives. He reveals that they may be related to energy vortices, black holes, or astral travel.

Every now and then, somebody reports stepping out of normal time and space. It doesn’t seem to matter where they live or their background—the veil of ordinary reality drops, and they suddenly slip into the past or future, usually seamlessly and unknowingly, experiencing a temporary and accidental form of time travel.

By exploring reliable models from both the West and the East, Braschler compares these excursions with shamanic journeying and the practices of yoga masters and Samadhi mystics. These practitioners use trance-like meditative states to journey beyond normal space and time. The book also investigates the work of Einstein and other physicists, examining the different speeds with which time passes in ordinary reality versus during time shifts—where minutes in ordinary reality appear as hours in a time-shift experience.

Offering a roadmap, Time Shifts allows anyone to explore shifts in time and space, expanding their awareness beyond ordinary reality.
