I'm one tip away from getting out!

[sublimy99]

Ok, so I read some advice on here and the best advice so far is:
Relax. I was not spending enough time on relaxing and so I was not
getting paralyzed, just numb.

I'm still not sure about the vibrations. I don't feel electricity like feelings.
I do feel gyration feelings and have felt strong tingling. I have felt falling.
I even heard the click near my head, about a foot away.

I have not heard voices, as of yet, and I have not seen through my eyes
and I have not exited. I can feel I'm SO close.

I'm almost positive I've felt the vibrations, but not 100% sure.

Is there a strong gyrating feeling that goes with the vibrations
I get them everytime now and they feel weird and good.
Could be something else though. I get them when I'm
deep into the process. I go pretty deep too.

However deep you think you go...go deeper.   be fearless and bold

You could try increasing the vibrations when you feel them.  Move them around your body, increase the tempo, intensity etc.

You'll be 100% sure when you feel the vibrations. They feel like... vibrations, normally your first time they'll be very strong so there is no mistaking them.

It's really the last thing you experience before projecting.

What normally happens is people play with the various different experiences and try different techniques, this is all normal and you get use to this and take small steps ahead.

Gyration is a circular or spinning feeling, that falls into of of those various different experiences you play with. You might even consider it your astral body being loosened.

My advice is try to be as passive as possible, let things happen on their own. Sisyphus is right, go deeper in your trance. Trying to do a technique too soon will sometimes prevent getting relaxed enough.

Ok, so at least I know the gyrations are not vibrations, that's good to know.
Sometimes I feel the vibrations just at my feet and it feels like a very light buzzing.
I can't move them further up. I keep going deeper and deeper, the other day I was
falling. I have no problem relaxing and not moving, even if I get an itch, I'm very
good at not moving. I'm good at going into a trance and moving that deeper.

One thing that I think may be wrong is my hypnogognic state is not quite what
it should be, not deep enough. Should I be closer to sleep or closer to consciousness?
Or right in the middle? I can't keep all thoughts out for that long, but at the end I can.
I'm guessing this is the most important time not to have any thoughts.

[EscapeVelocity]

I think you're very close! Just accept each experience as it shows itself, even if one step at a time.

Imo, the gyrations you feel are indicators of your energy body loosening itself and limbering up and that's great progress, no matter which direction it takes; falling, rising, spinning, it's all good.

You may or may not get significant vibrations; like Steel Hawk says, you'll definitely know them if you get them in their stronger, full body sense. If not, don't worry about it. Like Sisyphus and SH said, just go with the flow of what you have available at the time. Push it, but not too much...it may have to play out at its own speed...frustration and impatience become your worst enemy. Forget the extraneous sounds and noise, they're just signposts that you're making good headway.

It can take several attempts at this stage, with what feels like little or no advancement; the truth is, you are making the most progress right now!

Keep pushing! EV

Escape,
you are so right. Thank you for the encouragement.
I am so, so close. I was having a hard time with the wake
back to bed method, I went back to it last night/morning.

OMG, I am sticking with this from now on. It was a whole different
ball game, even though I didn't get out, everything I've done up till
now has increased two fold. This is it!!! I will stick to this method
from now on. I think I'll be out before summer ends, I know I will.

Excellent with that attitude you will definitely be out before summers end. There will absolutely no mistaking the vibrations when they arrive. Mine in the beginning were quite violent/ scarey until I researched and found out what they were. They happened to me naturally and thats what brought me to embrace what was happening. They have since subsided to a much less warming/tingling sensation. The Heart chakra activation and energy slowly flowing from my toes to my Crown chakra now tells me when its time to exit.

Keep at it, don't get discouraged, everone is different and you will soon be experiencing the most wonderful natural experience given to you by source
Keep us posted on your progress
I wish you well

For me my first exit came one morning after a run to the bathroom, I was not even trying and the vibrations just came to me, I then just rolled out. This caught me off guard and I ended up back in my body. The vibrations were still there so I just sort of jumped out.
