Saying Hello to My Parents

My mother had been dead for approx. 3 years before my 93 year old father also passed away from heart failure. I took care of my dad single handed for the last 3 years of his life, and we became very close. He died in 2003.
Out of body experiences have been a part of my life since I was a teenager. At first the feeling of not being able to move but being fully awake was very terrifying. I then began to relax over the years when it would happen and began to feel my body pull gently but firmly out of itself. If I tried to resist and wake up, I would get a horrible headache, right in front of my forehead. If I just let myself "pop" out, then it was really tingly and when I came back into my body, I would zoom so fast that when I hit, it would be like an electric shock. Not unpleasant, just like a buzzing all over.
One night, soon after my father's death, I really missed my parents. I was in that "cant move state" and I found myself astrally coming out, so I said a prayer to my guide (whom I later met in the astral), an angel prayer, and asked to go where my parents were to see them again. I immediately flew upward, very fast, went through a light tunnel, and found myself sitting on a beautiful blue bed, lighted with a thousand lights. My mother and father were on the bed, sitting up. My mother at first had a very puzzled expression on her face, and was somewhat distressed. She was afraid that I had died and she didn't know it, and hadn't met me. (all of this was somehow telepathically communicated to me). I assured that I wasn't dead, just visiting. My mother was glowing bright. My dad wasn't as bright. My mother said that it was because he had just recently crossed over and hadn't been on that side long enough to retain as much light. I talked to my daddy, and my mother for a while. All of our conversations were just like we converse here, but in my mind. I then needed to return to my body. I said I loved them, and they said they were happy and with me. I immediately descended so fast into my body, that I awakened like an electric shock went through me. Not uncomfortable, just very strange. I have learned to just will myself back, and not fight it. It doesn't give me a headache that way.
One more thing. Once I found myself in some very low, scary, dark place, with growling, ugly beings, grabbing at my legs. I immediately prayed that I would be safely back into my body, and I was. I never go to sleep now, unless I say a prayer of protection first. To my guide and to my angel. I believe OOB is natural. Many people are just scared, and if they would just relax, their experience would be very peaceful and happy.
