I don't think I'm cut out for this..

[Conure]

I've read countless articles and tried all sorts of techniques, but I just can't crack it..I need more faith in myself because I'm almost starting to believe I can't do it, but I really do want too, I believe I've been close (by accident) that was the reason I found these forums...I woke up one morning (or was I going to sleep?) I don't know, but I felt vibrations (I see them constantly mentioned with regard to OOBE's) and then I felt like I was being sucked forwards, not physically...but just like I was being moved from where I was, it terrified me and i fought it, woke up...barely concious and fell asleep again, at the time i presumed 'oh wow, that must've been the point between being awake, and being asleep'
But since reading into it, I believe its what people talk about on here, the vibrations that cause a projection...Could anyone give me some advice?
Also, why is it when i attempt to meditate or put myself in a trance, my heart beat seems to speed up and I sweat a bit, that happened just now...suddenly when i was getting close to a trance state (well the closest i've ever been...my heart beat increase and my palms got sweaty..)

On another note, since doing that I'm feeling the most peaceful I have in weeks.

your feeling peaceful BUT you are anxious and probably slightly nervous over the fact of "what to expect" this can cause the symptoms your describing.

Hi there Conure.. Allow me to start by pointing out some things that jumped out at me.  First off:  

I need more faith in myself because I'm almost starting to believe I can't do it, but I really do want too,
The moment you said..."I need to find more faith in myself."  You now have back tracked.  You keep thinking like that and you will be in exactly the same place you were to start with.

I believe I've been close (by accident)
Once again...YOU go putting a negative, next to something that was probably an experience you passed off.
Try leaving off the "By Accident"

I woke up one morning (or was I going to sleep?)
Ummmm..same thing as the last.  I do understand that it could be your logical self talking..but..ignore that one for right now.

and then I felt like I was being sucked forwards, not physically...but just like I was being moved from where I was, it terrified me and i fought it, woke up.
Yep, that being terrified will do it every time...stop reacting.

Also, why is it when i attempt to meditate or put myself in a trance, my heart beat seems to speed up and I sweat a bit, that happened just now...suddenly when i was getting close to a trance state (well the closest i've ever been...my heart beat increase and my palms got sweaty..)  You are on the right track!  Ignore all symptoms...carry on.

On another note, since doing that I'm feeling the most peaceful I have in weeks. Woot!  After all that, you still get a positive feeling!....whom can argue with that?

Good Luck,

Nay

Conure,

Try starting off with something related and somewhat easier to accomplish.  Try lucid dreaming... lots of stuff on the net about it.  I have no links handy.  But a good google search will yield all sorts of results...

You'll likely find that lucid dreaming will lead you to the path of Astral Travel..

my 2,
Stone
