Finally Consciouss exit!

[astralcow]

Finally had my first consciussess exit last night. I was really tired from running when I went to bed, so right away I went into sleep paralysis and tried to project. This time was differnent though. I felt tons of energy and vibrations and flashes of light. I called out for help to leave my body then hypnagogicly pictured a ladder and started to climb it. I felt my whole conscoiussness and body rising, then finally I fully seperated!! I cant stress enough how cool the feeling of floating in the air next to the ceiling is!! I then, as I was told, kept the projection short and reenter and woke up!! Do you think calling out for help/guide really helped?? Thankyou everbody for your help and tips!! Its very much apperciated. Oh, yeah, are there and projectors in the Wisconsin green bay/ appelton area?? Maybe we could meet somewhere??
Thankyou-Astralcow.

Awesome and Congrats! 

I exercise about 4-5 times a week and I typically have some projection practice in mind each night before going to bed.  Alot of the times I'm very tired because of a long busy day plus over an hour of exercise. I havent had anything remarkable happen lately, most likely because im so tired and my body knows I need the rest for the next busy day tomorrow so I think my body forces sleep, haha.

Again, congrats and I hope your further progression is exciting! Keep us updated!

i think this is a good example of the cycles we were talking about elsewhere.

its fall, harvest season, lots of people harvesting the fruits of their labor, you know.

so long as you're in the northern hemisphere.....

seasonal changes affect the success of projection attempts?

Nope.

Nothing external to yourself affects your ability to project.

Anyone who says otherwise has built up that up to be part of their belief construct towards projection.

i'm not saying that changing seasons helps or hurts projection success.

i'm just saying, i think it's interesting that natural phenomena (including consciousness) seem to coincide. 

that's all.  not speculating on implications.

Well on a slightly different note, I never thought that location helped OBing at all but now Im inclined to think it does.

I spent a month at my parents house in which time I had the most progress in the last 18 months OBing. When I returned home it all suddenly stopped and I mean completely. Barely even struggle to have LD's now.

Perhaps certain places are more advantageous.  I think leylines may have a strong influence. Where I live there are none close by but after a little research I found out that at parents house one runs almost through the town.

I dont know how prevalent leylines are in the US but there are some very noticeable effects in England. Take for example the legendary Ram Inn, famous for being perhaps the most haunted place in England. It has a leyline running right through it...just a thought

or it could be your state of mind in different places.

i know that when i go back to my parents house i have a completely different mind state than when i'm at my house.
