Did you clean your room today?

[kiwibonga]

Well... This is extremely bizarre, yet it somehow works...

I found a common factor in my projections: every time I clean my room, I have a projection that night.

Yesterday, I cleaned my room entirely, took out all the clothes lying around on the floor, put all my books on shelves and vacuumed.

I set my alarm program to ring every thirty minutes, 10 times. Well, I had 10 "mini-projections" ; they weren't full-fledged projections, but every time the alarm rang, I was in the etheric, vibrating, hearing loud sounds, seeing bright lights everywhere, with some flashes of astral vision...

Now I'm wondering if this is something anyone else has experienced...

I don't think the point here is that cleaning your room will make you project, but it's quite possible that something energetic is happening -- after all, leaving all kinds of crap lying around on the floor isn't very feng shui!

I wouldn't say I'm obsessed with cleaning to the point that I can't sleep right if my room is a mess -- but does the mess create blockages, does it confuse your astral vision? Or is it the action of cleaning that "chases away evil spirits" (read: negative energies) and allows for better projection?

In any case... I always hated sleeping, I thought it was a waste of time, until I started practicing projection, that is... Now I love sleeping! Cleaning's never been my favorite activity either, yet now I'm pretty convinced that if I clean my room regularly I'll have more projections!

See a pattern here?

Sounds like you might have stumbled on to something! Congrats!

If I could project by doing something like that I guess I would but so far I haven't found any correlation between what I do in the physical and projecting. All my projections have been pretty much spontaneous. Speaking of which, I haven't had one for several months now!

Sounds like a good idea.

I'm getting the trash out of my room right now!

[Selski]

My bedroom is clean.  Hoovered, dusted, fresh bedding and I even put a candle burner on so it smells of sandalwood...

...bring on the OBE!!

P.S.  At best, we'll have loads of OBEs being posted tomorrow.  At worst, we've all got clean rooms!

Did you use alot of energy to clean your room (meaning was cleaning the room physically demanding). One day I worked my butt off somewhere, and when I got home, I crashed around 9PM, and had 5 lucid dreams that night because I kept waking up to Sleep-Paralysis. (I didn't have intention of projecting that night, I was to exhausted, I just waited for dreams to begin while in SP).

But... in any case, I shall clean my room.

[-E-]

Now I wanna project, but to ask me to clean my room, thats takin it a bit far, hehe.

Well, if it works for you then keep doing it.

Clearing rooms seems to be a changing ritual for the Self. Looks like in your case it was a symbol of decision about having an OBE. I think you made this decision almost with your conscious waking mind.

I often feel inclined to clear up the room where I would wake up in dreaming, but I would also have the excuse of some discomfort, usually mild fear. The space around the sleeping body is always feared, because it's the territory of the subconsciousness and stands for everything we refuse to face.

It's actually a good idea to open every windows in dreaming and let more sunshine in. With the rising Sun I consider myself blessed. On the other hand, flying into skies while the Sun is setting gives so much power for dreaming. I know this for sure because I would hear beautiful music.

*few days pass*

Well, at least you've all got a clean room now :p

I just did a google search on "clearing my room." It was really illuminating. But you cannot trick me into actually doing that.
