My OBE this morning.

[weagle]

well keep doing what works for you, you just said what the key was only have 6 hours of sleep then wake up early and attempt an obe then go back to sleep if you don't for next few hours.  Same thing with me I only had 5 hours of sleep my mind was awake body was asleep same thing heard static noise then was able to move out just feet were stuck just had to do awareness on feet and i was free.  Also desire/will is important factor as well you probably had that as well determination that is.

Hello James Star of The Sea, welcome to the forums.

Sometimes I get stuck too if I happen to open my physical eyes. What I do is to make sure they're closed, and I may have to make some effort to close them tight while in the trance state. Once they're closed I can move out and away from the body. Depending on how you exit you might not have vision right away, so you will have to touch the things around you in order to gain vision. Touch the walls, the window, the furniture and soon you'll be able to see.

So the 'trick' is not to try to look, but to wait for the vision to come.

There are some methods that will give you instant vision just after the exit. The 'spin' method for instance can do that. Pretend you're a disc and use your astral arms to make you spin, really put yourself in motion. You should be spinning inside yourself, and after awhile you'll float away, or pass through your bed and touch the floor.

Yes, the whole 6 hours sleep, 5 mins up, than back to bed for obe is a good way, btw congrats on the obe

next time you obe and feel like you are 100% outside from your body just say "I can see now! or clarity now!"  This may activate your eyesight.  Or another trick is pretend you are removing something from your eyes pretend you're using your hands as if someone put a mask over your eyes and you're trying to remove it.  worked for me two times I was blind.  This is what I use and I'm assuming you are away from your body.  If it's the case you're still partially stuck to your body but partially out, whichever part is not disconnecting do body awareness on that part and it will free up or do the rope technique that will exert mega force to get you out.  And if you're still blind apply those techniques mentioned above.

That wasn't your heart, it was your heart chakra. I personally have never noticed it, but have heard it speeds up until the person believes they're having a heart attack.
Kudo's on doing it consiously. I have yet to accomplish projetion by willing it.

Please describe your technique.

On this particular attempt, i didn't try any of my previous techniques, and i'm sorry, i can't remember what i did to exit my body.

However, there is a technique that i have used on numerous occaisions to produce vibrations, and on a few occaisions, full OBE.

I tried many visualisation techniques, but they never seemed to work for me; i think it kept me too conscious.

But i have a good ear for music, and play by ear, so i decided to try an audio technique.

Firstly i set my alarm for 5:30am, waking up for perhaps half a minute or so, giving me time to wake up slightly. Then i went back to bed, and tried the following technique...

I imagine a constantly vibrating note at a particular pitch, and keep this sound in my mind for a time. It's difficult to say for how long.

Perhaps after a few minutes, i imagine a second note, one octave higher than the first. So at this point i am hearing two notes, in the same key, but one octave apart.

After a few more minutes, i slowly change the pitch of the second note, slowly imagining to sound higher and higher. Again, although i do this slowly, it's hard to say how long i spend doing it.

This works for me.

If i haven't been too clear, let me know, and i'll try to explain differently.

If you find it hard to imagine the notes, and you have access to a piano, try the exercise with the keys:

Choose a note, find the smae note one octave higher, gradually move up the scale with the second note. Try to memorize the sounds.

Good luck!

Hello everybody, i just registered.

I woke up this morning at about 9am, still feeling quite drownsy because i had a long day previously.

I focused my attention on projecting, as I often do whenever i wake.
I usually try a specific audiolisation technique, but this morning something different happened.

My consciousness just seemed to flutter within my body, i heard a "Pop" and i sensed my body floating out and above my body. Whenever i have an OBE, my Astral body always seems to move slightly to the left of my physical body, before floating upwards, and this happened this morning.

I could feel the lifting, but mistakingly opened my physical eyes! During the early stages of this projection, although i could sense, i couldn't see. I wanted to see, but managed to open the wrong set of eyes! Needless to say, i found myself back in my body.

But i still consider this to be a success because i did attain an OBE. Also, when i awoke, i realised that my heart was not beating fast, which it often does after such an event, suggesting to me that my sense of fear had seriously lessened.

Anyway, i hope to develop these skills further with time.

James
