New member experiences!

Hello! I stumbled across this forum somehow after reading a bit about astral projection.

I have always been so intrigued about this and I have always been an incredibly open minded person.
Now, I totally believe this is achievable and everything and I have had a mental OBE before. Mind you this was after I took magic mushrooms back when they were legal to buy in the UK! Since then it has opened my eyes to a new world and what I could see with my mind. I know it was with the aid of drugs at the time but the feeling of the OBE I had is indescribable!!

Anyway that was my first ever OBE experience and it was since then my mind has been open to alot of things and I am interested in astral projection.

Now I have little experience with meditation but I can relax myself deeply. The last few weeks my astral projection attempts go a little like this:-
-Firstly I lay on my bed on my back and I listen to binaural beats for aid of relaxation and AP
- I feel my body sink into my bed and my bedsheets start to feel very heavy on my body as I focus on relaxing from my toes to my head.
- once I have relaxed for a little while and focused on my breathing and after a bit of time I get a tingling sensation starting in my hands then spreads, my heart starts pumping with excitement but I focus on keeping relaxed, but my heart beats faster and faster and I try to relax but I swear I can feel my legs start to tense up with this happens which means I can't be relaxed enough to project.

What I have been experiencing feels amazing but I don't know what I can improve on or if I am even close to projecting. So this is why I am here to see if anybody can project any light on what I am experiencing and what I can do next.

Also to mention the other night when I tried my heart was going crazy, my legs started to tense up and my arms started to raise up from my sides. I knew this couldn't be a projection because as my hands lifted I could feel them go cold from the sweat hitting fresh air.

Anyway I look forward to hearing some replies from you guys

Hi Rob,
Welcome to the Pulse. You shouldn't really feel your heart rate increasing it needs to slow so your body falls asleep. Your mind however needs to remain awake. Before you exit you dont notice your physical body much the same when you are dreaming. You have let go and during the dream it isnt even part of your awareness.
Have a read of the F A Q section on here it will answer some questions you may have.
Mushrooms legal, when? I cant remember any year they were. Being 50+ I may have missed that newsflash unless it was before......

Yeah I have had a good look throught the FAQ's I guess I just need to put in alot of time and practice but I will get there

Last time I bought mushrooms must have been about 5-6 years ago. They were legal to sell fresh but illegal to buy when dried out. I just used to buy them from a headshop in east london. Crazy I know but that was the law!
