That's the perfect attitude to have, not only because it's helpful for reaching AP, but also no matter what happens you don't feel like you failed at your attempt.  You didn't AP but you did reach a cool state.

Like Moonburn33 said, I think you reached a light trance--and if that's a new state for you then it's still awesome progress.  In similar states I've had my eyes move quickly, but for me it seems more like a spasm in my eyelids.

When the vibrations hit they are unmistakable.  So you're right that you probably didn't reach them.

As for your inner dialogue, well, at least in the beginning, it's almost impossible to shut it off.  The best thing to do is to try not to think too much on it.  Sort switch your inner voice to that of a nonchalant observer.  You can still take mental note of the things you are feeling but just don't focus on it too much on it or get too excited.  The more you do this the easier it is.

BTW, the forums do NOT blow []  I know in my short time here they've been an excellent resource.  I hope they will be for you, too.

Namaste,

Thanks for the replies. How do I know when it is possible for me to move my astral body? Also does moving your astral body feel 100% like moving your physical body? If yes, then how exactly are you supposed to know which one you are moving?

Lol I said that the forums blow in the hope that someone would read that and make a response.[] but I was also frustrated by the lack of help.

Good questions!  You know, you'd probably get different answers from each poster.  I guess that's just the nature of this.  Well I'll give you the answers from my perspective.

I know that it's possible for me to move out of my body when the vibrations are just so [].  It's kind of hard to describe.  I feel the vibrations come on—usually very strong—and usually they seem the strongest in my head.  The first thing I do is focus my intent to have the vibrations spread throughout my body—I just sort of will it to happen.  Then I focus on the vibrations reaching a higher frequency—smoothing out to become faster and more even, almost like a buzzing throughout my body.  (When I say that I focus on these things, it's not like a deep focus, just a mild thought kind of focus.)

When it's just right (hard to explain how you know it's right, and it doesn't take long at all, maybe a minute or two to get just right) I will myself out of my body.   Some people prefer to sit up to get out of body, but for me I just think of floating and rise right up.

My body does not feel 100% like my physical body.  It feels absolutely as real, but usually lighter and more energized (although in some OBEs it can be just the opposite and leave one feeling heavy and tired.)  Of course when I'm floating there is no confusion about which body is moving, because darn-it-all my physical body just doesn't float [].

Hope that helps some.

Namaste,

Yes, it was probably a light trance. You would have noticed a feeling of warmth and comfort as you lay in your bed. Deeper trances are harder to acheive, often producing symptoms of feeling cold, sensations of falling, and paralysis.

As Reemy points out, things differ from person to person. As for tips, learn to watch yourself fall asleep...passively observe the process.

Hi everyone:

Go to Universal Metaphysics and then look down and click on Live Hypnosis Session on paltalk:  I have a post that tells about the use of hypnosis. Used correctly to achieve a Deep State of Trance into Deep Somnambulism or past it into the Esdaile State.

I've hypnotized a few in Astral Pulse one is Antranik, I hypnotized him on line on aol instant messenger and he wrote a post on my post in Metaphysical Room.

If you would like to try it live on line and go much deeper then you thought possible let me know and contact me here on Astral Pulse or click on my aol. And leave a message.

Sincerely,

Hi DukeLordxX,

Yes, you were in a light state of trance.  I'm a Certified Advanced Hypnotist, if you like I can help you to achieve a very deep state which you never been before.  A much deeper state deeper then Deep Somnambulism.  Into the Esdail State or Ultra Depth.

If anyone wants to be guided correctly into those states I can talk you through it in a hypnotic Induction.

It's Free I'm will to show you those other trance levels.

If anyone is interested you can contact me on astral pulse or e-mail me a hypnotist41@aol.com for more information on this subject.

Sincerely,
Frank (hypnotist)

Last night I decided to try and AP by meditating, and reaching trance, but not really worrying about whether or not I APed. I went to bed at 12 o'clock and used the muscle contraction technique to relax my body. I then lay down on my back with my hands by my sides and started to meditate by saing Ham on the inhale and Sa on the exhale. After awhile I felt a series of wierd changes in my body. First I felt a series of waves go through my body. Then I felt kinda cold. I then felt as if my bed had been expanded 100 times its size so I was laying in the middle of something very large[?] This whole thing is very hard to explain but I felt as if I was very small. Eventually my eyes started moving really quickly under my eyelids and I almost opened my eyes. I wasn't sure what to do so I decided to try and move my astral body while I was in this state and I *think* that I felt my astral body move, but it could have been my physical body because I don't know how to tell the difference. Anyways after awhile I wasn't sure if I was ready to exit and I opened my eyes for some reason.[V] I have a feeling that I might have messed things up my talking to myself too much during the process. I find it very hard to not talk to myself internally when these things are going on, any tips? I doubt I felt vibrations because people always talk about how intense it is, but was what I felt trance?

^^^I hope everyone can understand that.
