I think i got my first Vibrations and Noises.

[perception]

I attempted Astral Projection again last night, as i do most night, ive not got anything like the vibrations or noises in your ears before but last night i think i may have been lucky enough to briefly experience those two things.
I try the relaxation lying on my back and on my side, last night, while lying on my side i continued my attempts, i did feel myself going into a different type of relaxation, i know it was different as it felt deeper and i lost feeling with my body which i think is a first for me, i can normally still sense my body touching my bed but i couldn't feel that so it felt good, i didn't Astral Project, but i did get some slight vibrations and a odd noise in my ears, only briefly, to me, the noises were kind of as if there was a moth or something in my ear, like fluttering, but quite loud, if this is wrong then its possible that the noises were not connected, but its given me increased hope of someday reaching that level and and having my first AP experience, it only lasted a few seconds ( the vibrations and noises ) but if its connected then its a start.

Very good keep practising i should do the same, because i also suck at doing things in a controlled manner, got some lucky strikes but nothing more, keep it up, whe are all counting on you

[perception]

Than you astraluminated, i really appreciate your encouragement, the one thing that i struggle with is keeping thoughts from my mind, im forever thinking, and while trying to relax and keep a focus i get allsorts of thoughts creeping in, that is something that i really need to work on, i will try again tonight.

Yep... We all have this concentration problem, I'm having the hardest time fighting all these stray thoughts...

Right now I'm working on "ameliorating my life" -- I'm writing a schedule of all the things I need to do because I've found that a lot of my stray thoughts originate from every day worries, such as homework for university, paying the bills (already one week late on sending out that rent check, damn!), as well as this big translation job with an expired deadline that we keep extending every week...

I may have a slight episode of seasonal depression... Canadian winters are tough on your head!

I think sorting things out in the physical will help me reach the astral, somehow. Much like people who die feel they have something they need to do before "going towards the light" ; there's some things I need to do here before I can start my "astral mission" (plenty of dead people to talk to, and plenty of people in real life I need to help!).

So yes, good luck with your experiments, you are on the right path!

[perception]

kiwibonga thanks for your encouragement too, that's right that what we have going on in our lives can be quite a distraction, i seem to have a 101 things to do most of the time, even without attempting AP i usually go to bed with things on my mind and its not always easy for me to relax so i think if i can also tackle any little niggles on my mind first during the day it may help me to get into the correct state more for AP.

yeah, concentrating and not letting stray thoughts in is damm hard! But keep at it perception, you'll get there soon enough! And when you do, tell me how you did it lol.

[perception]

Eloquence thanks very much i appreciate it, ive just been looking at your site, omg those pics are beautiful to look at, while looking at them ive got the most chilled out sounds playing from a cd called Infinite Garden, a nice combination, when i see and hear such beautiful images and sounds i feel an inner peace, i wish life was like this more often, slow, tranquil, at peace with everything, well at least i know i can change things for myself  given the dedication and desire in time.

Hope i dont sound too deep here but im finally seeing what is important in life.

[Eloquence]

Aw thanks, im glad you liked them

Awesome!  You got close enough or actually projected but don't remember.  Next time you feel vibrations coupled with noises try to imagine yourself floating away.

Thanks CFTraveler, il stick with it and look forward to eventually having success with it.
