Title: Need some assistance from Seasoned Travelers/Novices
Post by: Vibra on May 12, 2008, 15:08:43
This is my first post
Ive had the vibrations since a young boy.  I am now 40 years old. Roughly 4 months ago they came on unbelievably strong and my heart felt like it was coming out of my chest.  I decided to research the cause. This had led me to where I am today. I bought the Mastering Astral Projection book and practiced it throughout. I came to realize I was and have been performing full body energy work (flowing energy from head to toes arms legs and bouncing) all my life without knowing what I was doing. After reading and studying Ive been able to activate most of my main chakras (seem to have problems activating my Heart chakra). By that I mean I feel no sensations in my chest while I feel them everywhere else. I have a couple questions.


1)I can now easily enter the trance state after 20 minutes of energy work (anywhere from 20 -60 minutes for trance) and begin energy body loosening techniques. I vary them until I get the desired effect IE: double spinning falling etc . Then what I think are exit sensations begin. 
I involuntarily feel energy start in my toes move up my legs to the genitals. I get mild genital arousal then to my gut then my heart center begins pounding out of control. I then begin to see my vision inside my closed eyes change. Goes from light show to either bright light or millions of "stars" or total darkness. Directly after heart center activation I can feel pronounced floating feelings. Ive also felt unbelievable pressures on my head and feeling that my right side of my face and arms were being stretched to the next wall. By this time I am very excited and I think "too aware" of what is going on with my body. Ive tried several exit techniques rope,wheel, water skiing etc. No exit. 1 minute or so later I'm usually wide awake.

The whole body vibrations that I used to get have seemed to have gone away. I now feel a subtler inner whole body tingling. Lower frequency whole body if that makes sense. Is this normal? I'm concerned because everyone  talks about the vibrations?
Also what am I doing wrong? Am I too focused on the exit that I'm loosing concentration? Should I just practice, practice, practice?
Deeper trance?

This is something I really need to do! Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for all your replies

Hi Vibra.

One thing many of us have a problem with is in letting go so that the experience can evolve.

Meaning, we use techniques, control methods, to try and get OBE but then forget to let go of the control and let it happen.

The pressure in your chest is fear related to not having control, it will go as soon as you relax and let it happen.

Be well.

Hi Vibra
You are actually Not doing anything wrong. It appears that you just need to give yourself more time to become acquainted and comfortable with the various sensations that preceed an OBE. Various sensations and phenomena will come and go from time to time. So do not put too much emphasis on any particular sensation.
Some fear is natural too so don't be worried about that.

btw I had my first conscious deliberate OBE at age 36 and that took me several months from the time I began trying to induce an OBE. Just say with, keep at it and it will happen.

Good luck
Grey

don't get too caught up in the sensations or your conscious mind will kick in. Just let it flow.
