It is so cool to be one of the people posting something like this on here.  Last night I came VERY close to OBE.  It was amazing.  I had settled down in my bed to meditate a bit before sleeping.  I have for a good while been developing my abilities in spirit communication, and have been working with a spirit guide for some time as well.  Last night, I had begun to communicate with my guide after feeling her presence in the room.  It would seem that she wants for me to be able to AP as much as I wish to do it.  She began to tell me to clam my mind and body, I did that of course.  Soon her presence drifted away but was still a little noticeable.  Well from the state I had gotten myself into, I just let things go from there.  I focused on energy that was building in my hands.  It began to spread to my arms and upper body.  Then the energy changed forms and became a sort of vibration.  The vibration now spread to the rest of my body quite quickly.  I knew that this was good, and I just layed without making a move for a little bit, hoping to get closer to being able to 'step out.'
Soon my mind began to lose quite a lot of awareness of my body.  This part is hard to explain.  I felt like I was going to sleep sort of, except that I was still also very awake.  My mind went almost blank, aware now only of the vibrations, and the energy in the room, and of trying to move in a few minutes.  I believe that my consciousness was shifting to my astral body.  I was now of course very light headed, and yet still felt in control, although that control that I had was slipping more and more.  Strangely this did not scare me or bother me.  I know somehow that I could take control again if I wanted to, but I decided to let what happen happen at that point.
I was almost at a point where I knew without much doubt that I could move my astral body, and achieve separation.  I more fully than I ever have before that I could do it, and strangely enough, knew that if I didn't do it then, I would on another attempt.
Sadly, I did not fully manage to project last night.  The vibrations slowed, and my mind went fully back to my physical body.  I lay in my bed for a couple of minutes, trying to understand what had happened.  I let everything come back to normal, then got out of bed to get a bottle of water from the kitchen.  I stood up, thinking to myself, "Oh my god.  I actually almost did it!  I can't believe how close I came."
I always thought that if I ever did come as close as I came, that I would be scared, and start to panic, bit I wasn't afraid at all.
I am so motivated now to keep working on trying to go father.
   

Welcome to the community. .  I am a writer also. 

Thank you much for the link.  I will give those a read when I have a chance.

Congradulations on your first success.  I have often heard that it is easier after the first time.

I have thought about it and would like to try it, if I can find some in my town.  I don't know how common it is.

I will have to try that.  Thanks for the tip.

I have never made it yet either while trying to do it.  I have only OBE spontanously while asleep.  You arew right though, reading about the other's successes is motivatoin for me to keep on training

Last night I did not take my meds.  BAD idea!  I thought I would have a good chance to practice, but I could not unwind well enough to do much.  I did meditate though, but I think I am doing just as well with the pills.  I think I need to look at other things, like my level of stress and such, and I also need to relaz more.  I like the idea of trying magneseum too.  Anyone know where I can buy that?

i read over the page several times.  It looks preety neat, and easy.  I want to try it tonight in bed.  I think I will unless I am really tired.

I will give that a try.  I suppose I must be able to buy that at any pharmacy.  I would love to get off the meds.  They make me so tired all the time.  I sleep for so long at a time, and am still sleepy a lot of the time.

Congratulations .  That sounds really cool.  I think that if I ever got that far though I would be a little freaked out.

that sound amazing.  But speaking of psi balls... I have come close to making them I think, and I was wondering what a person can do with a psi ball

Not compatible.  Yes, that is what I was begining to suspect.  Me being who I am thouhg, I am not willing to give up just yet.  Do you think I may get somewhere if I took the meds after practicing?

I have begun to notice a slight problem with me hopes to AP.  I have major trouble sleeping, and am on meds for this.  The problem is this... if I take the meds, I am to tired to do much practice at night.  I usually just fall asleep practicing.  If I don't take the meds, I don't really sleep well at all.  I kind of doze off, and wake up, and doze of and wake up, and in the morning, I feel awful.  Does anyone else have a problem like this, and does someone know what I should do?
Thanks, Chantal.

Would you mind posting it here.  I cannot seem to find it.
Thanks.
