hey urybody
i've been lurking the forums but i thought it was time to sign up, because i also wanna share my first phase experience which i had this morning!
to provide a brief background, i have read about astral projection for about 2 years. i practiced meditation and AP which produce a couple successful results, but i didn't stick to practice. i still maintained interest and started lurking around here. i read a post the other day that pointed me to a free ebook by the school of out of body travel, (
http://obe4u.com/,
http://obe4u.com/files/sobt.zip). so far its worth the read!! some good techniques and practice methods. i have had 2 astral projection experiences before, and i clearly remember the state of mind just prior to separation.
i read in that ebook about attempting to phase just after waking up, and trying not to disturb the physical body at all. last night i thought about remembering to phase in the morning as much as i could hoping to wake up and remember. my first 2 awakenings, i remembered, but still moved my body too much to focus. the third time however i remained almost completely still. i attempted the phase by first observing the blackness of my eyelids and digesting the scene.
the book talks about trying each method for literally 5-10 seconds (which i always found strange after attempting to astral project) but i was surprised how easily the images developed into sounds which i could focus on. pretty much that quickly i recognized i was in the state which i mentioned before, just prior to ap. i didn't know what to do to escape my body, and ended kind of half stuck somehow. quite quickly i fell through the floor, which started to loop very fast.
this kinda freaked me out and i snapped back to my body. the next attempt my body was still excited, but i managed to see the images and sounds again. i felt much more comfortable to roll out this time, but as soon as i attempted that i felt vibrations down my spine. the vibrations very gently tapped me 3 times on my chest then lifted me into a standing position.
then i was in a room, that was somehow still my room, and i jumped up through the roof to escape my body. i was in a valley, and i wanted to fly higher to get into the sunlight. the landscape was incredible, like some kind of artistic impression. one thing i noticed is that the land seemed to be flat on the horizon, but i didn't look around properly.
there was a castle in the distance that was being attacked by trolls or something who were firing blazing rocks at them. i swooped down and stabbed a troll in the chest, (no idea where the knife came from except maybe intention) threw him away and kept flying to the castle.
there were 4 people there, and they seemed oblivious to the battle. 2
hot girls and 2 guys, the girls both naked, except one had a bikini top. probably because of that i didn't notice what the guys were wearing. they were happy to see me and seemed to already know me. i rolled into a pool, as i picked up on that the girls were having a bit of a play-fight about one girl being jealous of a well photoshopped picture.
conscious awareness soon faded and i was awake on the bed again.
after that i did attempt to phase again, but unsuccessfully. i simply slipped into a seemingly unrelated dream. when i next woke up i wrote down a brief description, but i know i will never forget that experience!
i would definitely recommend the ebook mentioned above! as with all those books, it is already obvious that the author has some sort of opinion which he feels is right. once i've read the whole book i'll post on here with excerpts detailing the techniques, practice methods etc. and any simple background that should be highlighted.
thanks for reading,
