Astral body shaking??

[Gbob]

Sorry to write so many posts lately; this is such a great forum!

Anyways, today I meditated and after a while my whole body shook. It was sort of like a twitch of the whole body (as if I had come back from an OBE). However I was never aware that I was ever out of my body in the first place. I then tried focusing afterwards and attempting to exit my body but nothing happened. Has anyone ever experienced the twitching of the body, it feels like a nudge? Does this normally occur? Could I have somehow missed the exit of my astral body?

Also if anyone knows much about trance states (specifically the theta state in meditation) could you please share your knowledge/opinion regarding my question:

Many thanks in advance once again

You're referring to the Vibrations?

Remember that Separation can only be attained while your body is asleep. 
This means consciously staying awake while your body is fast asleep.  This it the Trance state.

Are you asking how to attain that state?
Cause all it really requires is a quiet mind and a VERY relaxed body... basically speaking, that is.

I'm not sure. I know what the vibrations feel like however I don't think this was a vibration. It felt as if my astral body suddenly aligned back with its physical body and it felt like a nudge of the body. But I was never aware that I AP'd at any stage :S

*EDIT* On second thoughts, you know when someone doses off and they randomly get a twitch of the body? It might have been this. What does this usually mean?

That could have very well been what it was.
You might have clicked out... separated while clicked out... then re-entered, not knowing you separated, and that was the jolt you experienced when you clicked back in.  Also the jolt could have caused you to click in.

Funnily enough I do experience a click feeling too, like my astral body's clicked out a bit. I am almost certain it's not bone lol. I had the suspicion that I may have clicked out so I tried exiting the body but I couldn't. Am I at least close lol?

[Xanth]

"Clicking out" is a term used that means you lost consciousness.
I guess it *could* be accompanied by a sound... but that'd be something associated with Hypnagogic sounds.

If there was a sound then this indicates there was separation, even if for a millisecond.  Even though astral noise happens right before separation, the 'click' or 'pop' is usually heard when separation happens, or reentry.  So I'd say there was momentary separation.
As for the rest, what Xanth said.
