I've been trying to project for some time now...

[blink]

findtruth.....if smashing through isn't working, go around the back;)  slip into a dream with a trigger for lucidity, and project from there.  If anything the attempt might spice things up enough to reveal other ways or enhance awareness or whatever.  bla bla bla good luck and godspeed:)

I know how it feels; This use to happen to me before a lot... to find out that I can lift & see my hands but thats it, cant do more than that, right.

I believe that the problem is on the level of relaxation you are in at the time of the attempt.

When you do meditation, do you use auto suggestions??? Well I do.

Well, this is what I do; I begin by hynotizing myself(Self Hypnosis)... to fully relax the body...(You can use any method) then I stay mentally quiet(eliminate internal dialog)... slowly and slowly I begin to drift into slumber...(relaxation is intensifying). suddenly, My awareness, kicks in(Feeling of paralysis)and I begin to count backwards from 10 to 1 to drift deeper and deeper into the trance state. When i get to one, I can easily lift my hands to see them and if my intent to lift off does not function, I do the counting again. but now  from 5 to 1. This time I go so deep that without trying (intent) I find my self floating close or above my ceiling.

Hope this works for you.

I've been trying to project or get an OBE for some time now. (Since midsummer)  I am competent in skills from meditating, to easily recalling my dreams, to putting myself into a trance state and working with chakras.  Problem is, I've tried all sorts of methods and the most I can do is raise the lower half of my arms (of the astral body) a little, and that's it.  I got half an OBE once when I had been meditating for a while then decided to call it a day and get up, but I sat up out of my body instead and it surprised me so much that I got sucked back in.  That's it.  Could someone tell me where to go from the trance state or of some method that worked for them. Please? []
