Problem OBE'ing

[Moderneboy]

also, it it just me or is it that I can't seem to seperate my physical body from my astral body, like I can't shift consciousness from one to another completely. Whenever I am not moving, obviously if my upper body sits up, if I am not controlling it by muscles, it is my astral body, but it seems to bring my physical body with it. Like when I picture inviscible hands pulling my legs, my legs raise, but when I try to pull my entire body out my upper body (chest/head/shoulders) sits up (not sliding out) and my legs go down, it is pretty frustrating. Does anyone have any helpful tips to get vibrations throughout your entire body.

Sounds like blocked chakra's.  Part of you seperates and the rest is stuck due to energy restrictions at those points.  You need all your chakra's open to 'get out'.

About Chakra energy limitations I have doubt.

Why then are we able to project unsconsciously every night? If there were energy limitations we couldn't project at night during sleep.

Going out at night isn't the same as conciously projecting, different methods.  And who says he's going anywhere beyond his bed?  And who says the blockages are there in the middle of the night?  Many blockages are concious [:I]

[Moderneboy]

do you have any tips on how to open up chakras?

I think a more realistic approach is to ask whether or not the parts of you that aren't seperating are too tense. Often getting stuck happens when you try to seperate before you are completely relaxed throughout your whole body.

If you can get your astral arms out (can you?), stroke the parts of your body that are stuck, whilst thinking that your hands are "encouraging" the physical to become astral.  Alternatively, use awareness hands to do this.

I find it works for me every time.

Good luck!

OK, when I try to OBE I first do the normal stuff, relax my body and clear my mind, and then my mid-section feels loose from my body, like it is moving up and down when my physical body is still.

But only my mid-body goes 3 feet into the bed, so I can't get enough vibrations into my upper body and down around my legs/feet area. I tried the technique where you imagine pink and that's consciousnes in your head and orange and that's consciousness in your feet and you can back and forth betwen pink and orange but i'm not sure.

Also, I can get my mid-body moving a bit under the bed (or over) sometimes in less than a minute, so is that too fast?
